Perceived intergenerational unfairness is one of the obstacles for a rapid transition to a low carbon economy whereby current generations have to carry the burden of paying for mitigation, while the next generations will enjoy the benefits for free. Green bonds are believed to be able to distribute the burdens over generations more evenly. In this paper, we examine whether green bonds can indee...

Effective management of nitrateimpacted aquifers requires identifying the sources of nitrate to the aquifer, and understanding the transport and fate of nitrate within the aquifer. Source identification is crucial to effective source mitigation; conversion of residential septic systems to sewer in a rural community will be ineffective if the primary source of nitrate contamination is agricultur...

Equationor table-based gate-level models (GLMs) have been applied in static timing analysis (STA) for decades. In order to evaluate the impact of statistical process variabilities, Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are utilized with GLMs for statistical static timing analysis (SSTA), which requires a massive amount of CPU time. Driven by the challenges associated with CMOS technology scaling to 45nm...

We compute the supersymmetric contributions to the weak charges of the electron (<2Jy) and proton (Q^) in the framework of Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We also consider the ratio of neutral current to charged current cross sections, R v and R^ at v (v)-nucleus deep inelastic scattering, and compare the supersymmetric corrections with the deviations of these quantities from the Standar...

The way in which electric power depends on the topology of circuits with mixed voltage and current sources is examined. The power flowing in any steady-state DC circuit is shown to depend on a minimal set of key variables called fundamental node voltages and fundamental edge currents. Every steady-state DC circuit can be decomposed into a voltage controlled subcircuit and a current controlled s...

this paper presents a novel method to calculate the reference source current and the referencecompensating current for shunt active power filters (sapfs). this method first calculates theamplitude and phase of the fundamental load current from a recursive algebraic approach blockbefore calculating the displacement power factor. next, the amplitude of the reference mains currentis computed with ...
