True-coincidence correction when using an LEPD 95104270 for the determination of the lanthanldes in the environment via k, based INAA
Freitas, M. C. and De Corte, F. Biol. Trace Elem. Res., 1994, 691-696. As part of a recent study on the environmental effects caused by the operation of a coal-fired power station at Sines, Portugal, k,-based instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was used for the determination of the lanthanides (and also of tantalum and uranium) in plant leaves and lichens.
Update on NO, control technologies 95104271 PETC Review, Spring 1995, (II), 28-39. Various nitrogen oxide control technologies are being demonstrated under the US Department of Energy Clean Coal Technology Program. These NO,-reductton technology demonstrations will assist utilities and industry in meeting the requirements of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Final results are available on many of these projects, and preliminary results are available on the rest. 95164272

In economic development. Results from a cross-national study of development countries Parikh, J. and Shukla, V. Global Environmental Change, May 1995, 5, (2), 87-103. The paper seeks an exploratory assessment of the possible global greenhouse consequences of economic development in general and urbanization in particular, especially insofar as they relate to changing patterns of energy use. First, the nature of the relationship between urbamzation and increased resource use is elaborated upon, and the impact of the development transition upon levels of energy consumption is empirically analysed in a multiple regression framework, using cross-national variations in urbanization and other development indicators to estimate a fixed-effects model of the determinants of energy usage. The same set of hypothesized determinants is then used to measure their contribution to estimated greenhouse gas emissions for the full set of countries.

The results of the elobal warmine oerceotion research has to date not been used by policy makers in sett& up ‘climate change public campaign programmes. Social scientists conducting work in this field believe that this-is a missed opportunity. Examples of-past studies the author and others have presented show that public concern is an important factor for environmental policy making. Today the public are worried by a whole series of environmental problems, where global warming in particular stands out.

P. et al., ASHRAE J., Jan. 1995, 37, (I), 29-33.
Discusses how there has been no reported cases of legionnaires’ disease related to wetted media direct evaporative coolers or to indirect evaporative coolers that incorporate a heat exchanger. This is most likely due to the difference in design and operation of these coolers versus cooling towers and evaporative condensers.

World Bank Publications, 1818 H Street, NW, Washington, DC.20433, USA, Paper No.1 256, 1994, 24 pp. Reviews existing fossil fuel pricing regimes and estimates the level of fossil fuel subsidies. The author assesses the impact of subsidy removal on national and global carbon emissions, using a detailed sectoral data set that includes prices and consumption for a large sample of countries.

Lofstedt, R. E. Global Environmental Change, Mar. 1995, 5, (l), 41-49. The paper seeks to analyse the debate which has shaped Sweden’s environmental aid programme to Eastern Europe over the past four to five years, through focusing on two criteria: efficiency (both economic and environmental) and responsibility. Efficiency is used to refer to using resources to obtain the maximum environmental benefit for resources expended. Responsibility is examined here in terms of ultimate liability for the products or outcomes of aid given by one nation to another, and how it affects the recipient nation’s sovereignty. Do donors give aid because they feel responsible on moral, historical or other grounds? Long-range air pollution and cleaning up the Baltic Sea are used as illustrative examples. Concludes by looking at the policy and practice of Sweden’s environmental assistance to Eastern Europe and how this has been influenced by efficiency and responsibility arguments.
