We study the impact of loss-aversion and the threat of catastrophic damages, which we jointly call threshold concerns, on international environmental agreements. We aim to understand whether a threshold for dangerous climate change is as an effective coordination device for countries to overcome the global free-riding problem and abate sufficiently to avoid disaster. We focus on loss-averse cou...

Bonding agents (BA) are key compounding ingredients for the correct formulation of composite solid rocket propellants (CSRP). In particular, addition BA is essential to achieve suitable mechanical properties CSRP in terms adequate tensile strength and elongation at break. It shown that polarity each conventional as well new potential can be measured through Reichardt’s ET(30) scale. Using this ...

The small commercial stores opening in housing structures Seoul have been soaring since the beginning of this century. While commercialization generally increases urban vitality and achieves land use mix, cafés restaurants low-rise residential areas may attract numerous passenger populations, with increased noise crimes, area. is so fast prevalent that neither researchers nor policymakers can r...

We introduce a general and relatively straightforward protocol aimed at determining the absolute photoinduced radical generation efficiency via NMR monitoring. This approach relies on use of scavenger probe that combines nitroxide moiety specifically reacts with radicals trifluoromethyl group used as 19F signaling unit. Using an LED source, whose fluence is precisely determined by chemical acti...
