The decoupling elasticity decomposition quantitative model of energy-related carbon emission in Guangdong is established based on the extended Kaya identity and Tapio decoupling model for the first time, to explore the decoupling relationship and its internal mechanism between energy-related carbon emission and economic growth in Guangdong. Main results are as follows. (1) Total production ener...

This paper focuses on the cross elasticity of supply concept and incidentally on the cross elasticity of demand concept. The author reviews a body of contemporaneous and older textbooks in intermediate microeconomics and industrial organization/public policy and finds that cross elasticity of supply is and has been seldom discussed in such textbooks, while cross elasticity of demand tends to be...

Complex cloud services rely on different elasticity control processes to deal with dynamic requirement changes and workloads. However, enforcing an elasticity control process to a cloud service does not always lead to an optimal gain in terms of quality or cost, due to the complexity of service structures, deployment strategies, and underlying infrastructure dynamics. Therefore, being able, a p...

The theory of factor demand has important implications for the study of the impact of immigration on wages in both sending and receiving countries. This paper examines the implications of the theory in the context of a general equilibrium model where the wage impact of immigration is influenced by such factors as the elasticity of product demand, the rate at which the consumer base expands as i...

Theory tells us that output, the capital stock and the user cost of capital are cointegrated. From the capital accumulation identity, it also follows that the capital stock and investment have a long-run proportional relationship. This has been used to justify the estimation of investment equations embodying a long-run relation between investment and output, rather than between the capital stoc...

Hypervisors and Operating Systems support vertical elasticity techniques such as memory ballooning to dynamically assign the memory of Virtual Machines (VMs). However, current Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs), such as OpenNebula or OpenStack, do not currently support dynamic vertical elasticity. This paper describes a system that integrates with the CMP to provide automatic vertical elasticity...

BACKGROUND During menopause, the decrease of estrogenic secretion induces the disruption of skin functioning, thus causing the decline in skin elasticity characteristic of skin aging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in postmenopausal women the effect of daily consumption and/or application of argan oil on skin elasticity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty postmenopausal women consumed but...
