Matrix Metalloproteinases: Roles And Regulation In Ocular Surface Regeneration, Gabriel Mikal Gordon Oct 2008

Matrix Metalloproteinases: Roles And Regulation In Ocular Surface Regeneration, Gabriel Mikal Gordon

Open Access Dissertations

Epithelial wound healing is a common occurrence in many organisms. In spite of a long history of study in this field, we do not have a complete understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of wound healing, which is a key element to appreciate in order to modulate this process for better clinical outcomes. Optimal outcomes are especially critical in the cornea as a failure to regenerate can result in blindness and a huge decline in quality of life. Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc dependent proteases that have been shown to be both regulators and effectors of …


Impure Public Technologies And Environmental Policy, Dirk T.G. Rübbelke, Anil Markandya Oct 2008

Impure Public Technologies And Environmental Policy, Dirk T.G. Rübbelke, Anil Markandya

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

Analyses of public goods regularly address the case of pure public goods. However, a large number of (international) public goods exhibit characteristics of different degrees of publicness, i.e. they are impure public goods. In our analysis of transfers helping to overcome the inefficient provision of such goods, we therefore apply the Lancastrian characteristics approach. In contrast to the existing literature, we consider the case of a continuum of impure public goods. We employ the example of international conditional transfers targeting to overcome suboptimal low climate protection efforts by influencing the abatement technology choice of countries.


Immigration And National Wages: Clarifying The Theory And The Empirics, Ottaviano Gianmarco, Giovanni Peri Oct 2008

Immigration And National Wages: Clarifying The Theory And The Empirics, Ottaviano Gianmarco, Giovanni Peri

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

This paper estimates the effects of immigration on wages of native workers at the national U.S. level. Following Borjas (2003) we focus on national labor markets for workers of different skills and we enrich his methodology and refine previous estimates. We emphasize that a production function framework is needed to combine workers of different skills in order to evaluate the competition as well as cross-skill complementary effects of immigrants on wages. We also emphasize the importance (and estimate the value) of the elasticity of substitution between workers with at most a high school degree and those without one. Since the …


Equity And Justice In Global Warming Policy, Snorre Kverndokk, Adam Rose Oct 2008

Equity And Justice In Global Warming Policy, Snorre Kverndokk, Adam Rose

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

Many countries are implementing or at least considering policies to counter increasingly certain negative impacts from climate change. An increasing amount of research has been devoted to the analysis of the costs of climate change and its mitigation, as well as to the design of policies, such as the international Kyoto Protocol, post-Kyoto negotiations, regional initiatives, and unilateral actions. Although most studies on climate change policies in economics have considered efficiency aspects, there is a growing literature on equity and justice. Climate change policy has important dimensions of distributive justice, both within and across generations, but in this paper we …


Modelling Economic Impacts Of Alternative International Climate Policy Architectures. A Quantitative And Comparative Assessment Of Architectures For Agreement, Valentina Bosetti, Alessandra Sgobbi, Carlo Carraro, Massimo Tavoni Oct 2008

Modelling Economic Impacts Of Alternative International Climate Policy Architectures. A Quantitative And Comparative Assessment Of Architectures For Agreement, Valentina Bosetti, Alessandra Sgobbi, Carlo Carraro, Massimo Tavoni

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

This paper provides a quantitative comparison of the main architectures for an agreement on climate policy. Possible successors to the Kyoto protocol are assessed according to four criteria: economic efficiency; environmental effectiveness; distributional implications; and their political acceptability which is measured in terms of feasibility and enforceability. The ultimate aim is to derive useful information for designing a future agreement on climate change control.

Sexual Orientation And Household Decision Making. Same-Sex Couples’ Balance Of Power And Labor Supply Choices, Sonia Oreffice Oct 2008

Sexual Orientation And Household Decision Making. Same-Sex Couples’ Balance Of Power And Labor Supply Choices, Sonia Oreffice

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

I estimate how intra-household bargaining affects gay and lesbian couples’ labor supplies, investigating their similarity to heterosexual decision-making, in a collective household framework. Data from the 2000 US Census show that couples of all types exhibit a significant response to bargaining power shifts, as measured by differences between partners in age or non-labor income. In gay, lesbian, and heterosexual cohabiting couples, a relatively young or rich partner has more bargaining power and hence supplies less labor, the opposite holding for his/her mate. Married couples value the older spouse instead, or the richer. No effects are found for same-sex roommates.

The Anchor, Volume 122.07: October 22, 2008, Hope College

The Anchor: 2008

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

Singh, Andrew Weinheimer

Earth Sciences

We use an ensemble of aircraft, satellite, sonde, and surface observations for April-May 2006 (NASA/INTEX-B aircraft campaign) to better understand the mechanisms for transpacific ozone pollution and its implications for North American air quality. The observations are interpreted with a global 3-D chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem). OMI NO2 satellite observations constrain Asian anthropogenic NOx emissions and indicate a factor of 2 increase from 2000 to 2006 in China. Satellite observations of CO from AIRS and TES indicate two major events of Asian transpacific pollution during INTEX-B. Correlation between TES CO and ozone observations shows evidence for transpacific ozone pollution. The …
