description: Measures are being developed and implemented enabling the co-existence of conventional, genetically modified (GM) and organic cropping systems. In order to segregate GM from conventional crops in the entire supply chain, a food or feed company has to reorganise its production. This may involve for dedication of the production line to non-GM, or production can be organised on the same plant, using spatial or temporal segregation. In practice, only the latter method is used in the feed industry, as no investments in new machinery are necessary in the case. The segregation and identity preservation of GM and non-GM crops has to be well organised. An important tools used to proof the identity of the imported raw materials is the batch or product declaration and in some cases, a supplementary certificate of analysis for the raw materials is provided. In compound feed production, specific procedures to reduce carry-over are introduced and described in a book of charge, such as rinsing of transportation and production line, empty declaration of transport systems or storage bins and specific discharge and production orders. All these measures however imply supplementary costs to the manufacturer. A major additional cost is the price difference between GM and non-GM raw materials. Other extra costs result from losses in flexibility, a devaluation of the rinsing product, analysis and audits. As a result, the cost of a compound feed using non-GM is higher than with GM. Benefits to the segregation measures are an increased gamut of products and an improved organisation and management of the production. Together with an improved traceability system, consumers’ confidence is also increased.

description: In this proceeding, we present our recent investigations on hydrodynamic collectivity in high-multiplicity proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV using the VISHNU hybrid model with different initial condition models, called HIJING, super-MC and TRENTo. We find that with carefully tuned parameters, hydrodynamic simulations can give reasonable descriptions of the measured two-particle correlations. However, multi-particle single and mixed harmonics cumulants can not be described by hydrodynamics with these three initial conditions, even for the signs in a few cases. Further studies show that the non-linear response plays an important role in the hydrodynamic expansion of the p--p systems. Such an effect can change $c_2\{4\}$ from a negative value in the initial state to a positive value in the final state. The failure of the hydrodynamic description of multi-particle cumulant triggers the questions on whether the hydrodynamics can rule all collision systems, including p--p collisions at the LHC.

 The female from Sichuan province, China, showed a diploid chromosome number of 2 n = 32 and a FNa = 60. The karyotype was composed of 15 meta- to submetacentric autosomal pairs and two metacentric X chromosomes (Fig. 4). Heterochromatin was detected by C-banding at all centromeres and in the proximal part of the short arm of the X chromosome. The size of this heterochromatic segment differed between both homologs of the female studied (inset of Fig. 4). The NORs are located at the secondary constriction in the short arm of pair 8. This chromosomal arm is homologous to MMY21. The frequency of active NORs as detected by silver-staining was 1.8 NORs per cell (10 metaphase spreads analyzed). The composition of autosomal arms was studied by combination of whole chromosome painting probes from A. stoliczkanus, complemented by some M. myotis probes (MMY8, 14, 18). The hybridization results are summarized on the karyotype (Fig. 4), and as examples
 metaphase spreads hybridized with probes from AST 1, 2 and 8 are shown (Fig. 3B and 3E). G-banding and FISH results revealed that the karyotype of R. lanosus differs from that of R. luctoides and R. cf. luctoides from Vietnam by a whole arm reciprocal translocation (WART) between pairs 3 and 4. In the karyotype of R. cf. luctoides, pair 3 is composed of arms homologous to AST2 ad AST5, whereas in R. lanosus it consists of arms homologous to AST7 and AST5. Homology to AST1 and AST7 is found in pair 4 of R. cf. luctoides, but to AST1 and AST 2 in R. lanosus (Fig. 5).

description: For a long time, ballooning instabilities have been believed to be a possible triggering mechanism for the onset of substorm and current disruption initiation in the near-Earth magnetotail. Yet the stability of the kinetic ballooning mode (KBM) in a global and realistic magnetotail configuration has not been well examined. In this paper, stability of the KBM is evaluated for the two-dimensional Voigt equilibrium of the near-Earth magnetotail based on an analytical kinetic theory of ballooning instability in the framework of kinetic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model, where the kinetic effects such as the finite gyroradius effect, wave-particle resonances, particle drifts motions are included usually through kinetic closures. The growth rate of the KBM strongly depends on the magnetic field line stiffening factor $S$, which is in turn determined by the effects of the trapped electrons, the finite ion gyroradius, and the magnetic drift motion of charged particles. The KBM is unstable in a finite intermediate range of equatorial $β_{eq}$ and only marginally unstable at higher $β_{eq}$ regime for higher $T_e/T_i$ values. The finite ion gyroradius and the trapped electron fraction enhance the stiffening factor that tends to stabilize the KBM in the magnetotail far away from Earth. On the other hand, the current sheet thinning destabilizes KBM in the lower $β_{eq}$ regime and stabilizes KBM in the higher $β_{eq}$ regime.

description: Red quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) are a subset of the luminous end of the cosmic population of active galactic nuclei (AGN), most of which are reddened by intervening dust along the line-of-sight towards their central engines. In recent work from our team, we developed a systematic technique to select red QSOs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and demonstrated that they have distinctive radio properties using the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty centimeters (FIRST) radio survey. Here we expand our study using low-frequency radio data from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS). With the improvement in depth that LoTSS offers, we confirm key results: compared to a control sample of normal "blue" QSOs matched in redshift and accretion power, red QSOs have a higher radio detection rate and a higher incidence of compact radio morphologies. For the first time, we also demonstrate that these differences arise primarily in sources of intermediate radio-loudness: radio-intermediate red QSOs are $\times 3$ more common than typical QSOs, but the excess diminishes among the most radio-loud and the most radio-quiet systems in our study. We develop Monte-Carlo simulations to explore whether differences in star formation could explain these results, and conclude that, while star formation is an important source of low-frequency emission among radio-quiet QSOs, a population of AGN-driven compact radio sources is the most likely cause for the distinct low-frequency radio properties of red QSOs. Our study substantiates the conclusion that fundamental differences must exist between the red and normal blue QSO populations.

Critical current for an insulating regime of an underdamped current-biased topological Josephson junction

description: We study analytically an underdamped current-biased topological Josephson junction. First, we consider a simplified model at zero temperature, where the parity of the non-local fermionic state formed by Majorana bound states (MBSs) localized on the junction is fixed, and show that a transition from insulating to conducting state in this case is governed by single-quasiparticle tunneling rather than by Cooper pair tunneling in contrast to a non-topological Josephson junction. This results in a significantly lower critical current for the transition from insulating to conducting state. We propose that, if the length of the system is finite, the transition from insulating to conducting state occurs at exponentially higher bias current due to hybridization of the states with different parities as a result of the overlap of MBSs localized on the junction and at the edges of the topological nanowire forming the junction. Finally, we discuss how the appearance of MBSs can be established experimentally by measuring the critical current for an insulating regime at different values of the applied magnetic field.

description: This article investigates the nineteenth-century notions of expression and mimicry in natural science. It will focus especially on Aby Warburg's concept of Pathosformel. My archival research at the Warburg Institute in London showed that Warburg was interested in Paolo Mantegazza’s theories about mimicry and expression (1831-1910). A prominent physician and anthropologist, Mantegazza developed the views that Charles Darwin expressed in his work The expression of the emotions in man and animals (1872). In this paper I will explore how mimicry can perform an expressive and a physical function at the same time: gestural forms reflect a primitive disposition of the relation between man and world and represent the deepest layer of communication. I will show how the body can be considered as a metaphor of this early bond.

description: We use the latest multi-redshift ($z=6.5-8.7$) upper limits on the 21-cm signal from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) to explore astrophysical models which are inconsistent with the data. These upper limits are achieved using 298 h of carefully excised data over four observing seasons. To explore these upper limits in the context of reionisation astrophysics, we use 21CMMC. We then connect the disfavoured regions of parameter space to existing observational constraints on reionisation such as high-$z$ galaxy ultra-violet (UV) luminosity functions, background UV photoionisation rate, intergalactic medium (IGM) neutral fraction, the electron scattering optical depth and the soft-band X-ray emissivity. We find the vast majority of models disfavoured by the MWA limits are already inconsistent with existing observational constraints. These inconsistent models arise from two classes of models: (i) `cold' reionisation and (ii) pure matter density fluctuations (i.e. no reionisation). However, a small subsample of models are consistent implying the existing MWA limits provide unique information in disfavouring models of reionisation, albeit extremely weakly. We also provide the first limits on the soft-band X-ray emissivity from galaxies at high redshifts, finding $1σ$ lower limits of $ε_{{\rm X},0.5-2~{\rm keV}}\gtrsim10^{34.5}$ erg s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-3}$. Finally, we recover 95 per cent disfavoured limits on the IGM spin temperature of $\bar{T}_{\rm S}\lesssim$ 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.8, 2.1, 2.4 K at $z=6.5, 6.8, 7.1, 7.8, 8.2, 8.7$. With this we infer the IGM must have undergone, at the very least, a small amount of X-ray heating. Note, the limits on $ε_{{\rm X},0.5-2~{\rm keV}}$ and $\bar{T}_{\rm S}$ are conditional on the IGM neutral fraction.

description: It was recently proposed that our universe could naturally come to be dominated by 3-branes and 7-branes if the universe is ten-dimensional. In this paper, we explicitly demonstrate that gravity can be localized on the intersection of three 7-branes in AdS10 to give four-dimensional gravity. We derive the exact relations among the tensions of the branes, and show that they apply independently of the precise distribution of energy within the necessarily thickened branes. We demonstrate this with several technical sections showing a simple formula for the curvature tensor of a diagonal metric with isometries as well as for the curvature at a gravitational singularity. We also demonstrate a subtlety in applying Stoke's Theorem to this set-up.

description: This paper analyzes habits and motivations behind wine consumption in Italy and focuses on the attributes affecting wine choice, through interviews and a choice experiment approach. We show that consumers are interested in a wide concept of quality, which covers the whole production process. Both the notoriety of the industrial brand and the designation of origin constitute important quality signals. However, the use of the designation of origin to assess quality at the moment of purchase requires a certain level of product knowledge and involvement. Supermarkets and stores play an increasing role in the commercialization of wine on the final market. Nevertheless, the appreciation of private label wines is relatively low. Finally, we provide some observations on how the Italian wineries are equipped toward market requirements, according to the typologies of vertical relationship between the vine growing and the grapevine processing stages, the quantity and quality strategies.

description: This paper confronts the interpretations of Eugène Atget’s photography given by Robert Desnos and Walter Benjamin. In the first part, it discusses Atget’s reception among the surrealists, particularly his relationship with Man Ray and the publication of some of his views from Paris in Littérature and La Révolution surréaliste. The second part is focused on the paragraphs that Benjamin has devoted to Atget in “Short history of photography” (1931) and "The work of art in the age of its technological reproductibility” (1935-1939). Finally, it introduces, establishes and comments two texts by Desnos to highlight his idea of a history of photography, the place he attributes to Atget in it, and the presence of topical and figures of fundamental significance for Benjamin’s own perspective.

Perspective and Spatiality in the Modern Age

Year: 2016

description: the domain of Art critique and becoming a philosophical argument. How can we think of Perspective as symbolic Form? Is Perspective really a symbolic form? Why is Perspective so important? Because at the beginning of the Modern Age, Perspective as spiritual figure grounds many symbolic or even many scientific constructions. We could we say that perspective open the foundation of modern science as such. The “Geometrization” of Vision, beginning with perspective, will be for us the interpretative key in order to understand the Modern Age as a whole. This understanding will allow us to understand the anthropologic dimension arising from the Modern Age, called „Perspectivism“. Assuming that perspective was neither only an invention of painting nor of geometry nor of philosophy, taken as singular fields of human inquiry, we will try to sketch the genesis of “perspective” from an interdisciplinary point of view. By doing so, we will also try to fix its deep significance for the anthropology of the Modern Age. Living and feeling in a perspectival world is the real invention of the Modern Age, one that overcame the closed Cosmos of the Middle Ages in order to reveal to mankind its own potential. Our interdisciplinary approach will proceed from many points of view (history of art, science, theology, anthropology) and converge on the idea of a new kind of human experience. Such an interdisciplinary approach will open new questions about our present time. Are we justified in thinking of our experience today as perspectival? What does it mean today to think from perspectives in the manifold dimensions of our living and to face to the complexity of our times?

description: Conventional Weyl nodes are twofold band crossings that carry a unit monopole charge, which can exist in condensed matter systems with the protection of translation symmetry. Unconventional Weyl nodes are twofold/multifold band crossings carrying a quantized monopole charge larger than one, and their existence needs the protection of additional crystalline symmetries. Studies on unconventional Weyl nodes are already very comprehensive, such as twofold Weyl nodes with Chern number of C=2/C=3 and fourfold/sixfoldWeyl nodes with C=4. Yet in this paper, we propose a newfound twofold unconventional Weyl node with C=4, which can exist in any chiral cubic systems with integer spin. Such kind of twofold quadruple Weyl node has a cubic band dispersion along [111] direction and will evolve into a fourfold quadruple Weyl node after considering spin-orbit coupling. In this paper, we exhaust all the possible chiral cubic space groups and corresponding k-points, which can have twofold quadruple Weyl nodes. We also propose a series of LaIrSi-type materials that both have twofold quadruple Weyl nodes in electronic systems and the phonon spectra.

 Two males and one female from Taiwan were studied cytogenetically. All specimens showed a karyotype with 2 n = 52 and a FNa = 60 (Fig. 6). There were five bi-armed and 19 acrocentric autosomal pairs. In addition, the smallest, dot-like pair no. 25 is likely also bi-armed. Due to the minuteness of this element, the metacentric condition was visible only in a small percentage of metaphase spreads. Therefore, this chromosome was counted as one arm only for the FNa. The medium-sized X chromosome
 is submetacentric and the dot-like Y chromosome is probably bi-armed. Concerning the amount of centromeric heterochromatin, the acrocentric pairs differed from the bi-armed ones. In contrast to the faint staining of centromeric regions of bi-armed pairs 1 to 5 and 25, the acrocentric chromosomes showed dark stained pericentromeric regions after CBG-banding, which were also GTG-, QFQ- and DAPI-positive (Fig. 7 A–B). The amount of centromeric heterochromatin of the X chromosome was similar to that of other Rhinolophus species and not enlarged as in R. cf. luctoides and R. lanosus. The Y chromosome of R. formosae was hardly distinguishable from the autosomal pair 25 after CBG-banding and showed no clear centromeric heterochromatin (Fig. 7A). The secondary constriction of chromosomal pair 18 (homologous to MMY21) was shown to bear active NORs by silver-staining (Fig. 7C). Analysis of 20 metaphase spreads of one male specimen revealed a frequency of 2.0 NORs per cell.
 The complete set of AST painting probes and some selected MMY probes (MMY8, 14, 23) were applied on R. formosae. The results are given on the G-banded karyogram (Fig. 6) and examples of FISH experiments are shown in Fig. 3C and 3F. Of the chromosomal pairs 1 to 5, only two, i.e., 4 and 5, show the same combination of chromosomal arms as found in R. luctoides, R. lanosus and R. morio. Pairs 1 to 3 show a unique combination hitherto found in no other rhinolophid species.

description: Will streaming have a “feedback effect” on musical creation, comparable to the one enforced by the precedent distribution modes of musical contents? In other words, could it be compared to the one generated by the invention of 45rpm vinyl record (pop-rock music in the sixties) or 33rpm LP linked to the “concept albums” from the seventies, or even CD and DVD? I will use the description of “Apple Music”, the new Apple streaming site, to demonstrate that the innovations brought along with this site (such as “connect”, a function that gives an opportunity to link the artists to their public) clearly evince that this new mode of distribution has achieved its own end and will exert, if my predictions are true, an important effect on musical creation in the upcoming years. Since those optimistic conclusions far from being shared by all musicians, I will have to discuss their points of view in this article as well.

Analysis of the SNR loss distribution with covariance mismatched training samples

description: We analyze the distribution of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) loss at the output of an adaptive filter which is trained with samples that do not share the same covariance matrix as the samples for which the filter is foreseen. Our objective is to find an accurate approximation of the distribution of the SNR loss which has a similar form as in the case of no mismatch. We successively consider the case where the two covariance matrices satisfy the so-called generalized eigenrelation and the case where they are arbitrary. In the former case, this amounts to approximate a central quadratic form in normal variables while the latter case entails approximating a non-central quadratic form in Student distributed variables. In order to obtain the approximate distribution, a Pearson type approach is advocated. A numerical study show that this approximation is rather accurate and enables one to assess, in a straightforward manner, the impact of covariance mismatch.

description: In this paper I will address some theories of Roman Ingarden and Walter Benjamin in the light of the new reproductive technologies for streaming music. As to Ingarden's theory I argue that, in the case I am bringing into investigation, streaming music experience can bring new light on the problem of the identity of the musical work by creating a continuum in a sequence of performances, and such continuum may account for a sort of ‘fluid’ cross-identity of the music piece variously performed. I also argue that the lack of ‘aura’, in this case, does not devalue the music piece and nevertheless allows for a notable aesthetic fruition.

The proof turns on constructing a nonlinear heat flow that drives trial functions to optimizers in a monotonic manner. This strategy also works for the generalization of Young's inequality on $R^N$ to more than three functions, and leads to significant new information about the optimizers and the constants.

description: Agriculture largely shapes the European ecosystems. Today the environmental social interest and the awareness that some farming practices destroy the natural environment is undeniable. Thus, the European decision maker’s emphasis on integrating social demands within the Common Agricultural Policy becomes unquestionable. In this context, this paper analyses : i) the degree of social compliance with soilerosion control from agriculture in Andalusia (southern Spain); ii) the degree of society’s concern about its agriculture; and iii)the respondent’s features that influence both perceptions.

Skipping the tracks. The experience of musical improvisation online
Creators: name: Zanetti, Roberto
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2016

description: The present article aims at analyzing the social and ontological effects of listening music online, with particular attention to the artistic practice of improvisation. In the first paragraph, I will briefly explain the essential concepts which ontology of music has traditionally counted on, and I will suggest an alternative theoretical approach, that I define as ontology of musical act. Then I will investigate the relation between recording practices and improvisation. In the final paragraph I will compare some features of musical recordings (suggested by Andrew Kania) with those of technological devices that allow us to listen music online.

description: We achieve fast, nondestructive quantum-state readout via fluorescence detection of a single $^{87}$Rb atom in the 5$S_{1/2}$ ($F=2$) ground state held in an optical dipole trap. The atom is driven by linearly-polarized readout laser beams, making the scheme insensitive to the distribution of atomic population in the magnetic sub-levels. We demonstrate a readout fidelity of $97.6\pm0.2\%$ in a readout time of $160\pm20$ $μ$s with the atom retained in $>97\%$ of the trials, representing an advancement over other magnetic-state-insensitive techniques. We demonstrate that the $F=2$ state is partially protected from optical pumping by the distribution of the dipole matrix elements for the various transitions and the AC-Stark shifts from the optical trap. Our results are likely to find application in neutral-atom quantum computing and simulation.

Listening to Music in the Digital Era
Creators: name: Fronzi, Giacomo
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2016

description: In this paper, I examine the relationship between new technologies and listening, starting from a distinction between two different levels. The first concerns the role new technologies play in the “mere” reproduction and diffusion of music materials that are not necessarily classifiable in the category of the so-called “technological music”; the second concerns the listening modes unavoidably involved in the reception of a music product, due to its very nature. To this end I shall focus my attention on some elements that characterize both music production and reception: (1) historical development of the relationship between technology and music; (2) technologically mediated non-live listening; (3) technologically mediated live listening; (4) ontological oscillation in a musical work of art following its digitalization. These are issues that also bring into play aesthetics in a developmental stage of this discipline, in which a philosophical reflection on technological music may contribute to formulate – as J. Demers wrote – «a theory that acknowledges the interconnectedness of aesthetics with culture and society».

description: A labelled choice experiment is conducted in order to investigate preferences of Spanish consumers towards ethnic cuisines. In particular, the three best known cuisines, Mexican, Arab and Asian, are considered, across three consumption situations: restaurant, take-away and at home. Wald statistics are applied in order to assess the differential marginal utilities of ethnic food in alternative consumption situations, and the appropriateness of considering a linear effect in price.
Plato on the Stream. Platonism in the Age of Streaming
Creators: name: Bisson, Frédéric
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2016

description: This article defends a Platonist view of streaming. It is opposite to the mainstream representation that streaming has “liquidated” the structure both objective and collective of musical experience. On the contrary, streaming is the support of a new kind of musical object, which is distinct both from the allographic notational objects (scores) and from the phonographic ones (records). This third kind of object has to be characterized as a flux-object. The way it is diffused and accessible implies a new kind of experience. Cyberspace in which this experience takes place is characterized as an “hyperobjective noosphere”: the relation of streaming with the subjects of musical experience is akin to the relation of atmosphere or biosphere to the living beings. This article invites to an ascetic exercise: the everyday experience of the listener has to become mindful of the “swarm community” in which s/he participates by streaming. Thus it develops a renewed musical Platonism, as a kind of response to “object-oriented ontologies”. According to this renewed Platonism, dispositional properties are essential to the objects. Objects have no sense apart from the relation to individual and collective subjectivations that are potential parts of them.

The musical work in cyberspace: some ontological and aesthetic implications
Creators: name: Arbo, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2016

description: The article examines some of the consequences of the migration of musical works in cyberspace, particularly with regard to their ways of being and the ways in which we listen to them. Streaming is interpreted as the last stage in the expansion of a phenomenon that arose with the advent of phonography, namely, the ubiquity and availability of the works. A new development consists in the production of musical units in modular terms: works can consist of independent parts, which can be replaced or constituted, in an order that depends on the user, taking inspiration from the model of the playlist. The diffusion of works on the web has also facilitated the development of the remix practice, changing listening standards and generating new conceptual conflicts concerning the identity of the works. The web weakens the distinction between the medium of communication and the medium of recording. It also favors the formation of new cognitive dispositions and generates more flexible and interactive ways of listening, generally different from those implicated in the era of the disc.

Insecurity Of Imperfect Quantum Bit Seal
Creators: name: Chau, H. F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum bit seal is a way to encode a classical bit quantum mechanically so that everyone can obtain non-zero information on the value of the bit. Moreover, such an attempt should have a high chance of being detected by an authorized verifier. Surely, a reader looks for a way to get the maximum amount of information on the sealed bit and at the same time to minimize her chance of being caught. And a verifier picks a sealing scheme that maximizes his chance of detecting any measurement of the sealed bit. Here, I report a strategy that passes all measurement detection procedures at least half of the time for all quantum bit sealing schemes. This strategy also minimizes a reader's chance of being caught under a certain scheme. In this way, I extend the result of Bechmann-Pasquinucci et al. by proving that quantum seal is insecure in the case of imperfect sealed bit recovery.

description: This paper assesses the economic value of changes in the attributes of farmers’ irrigation water property rights in Tunisia. Changes on attributes generated by the transfer process of the property rights from the collective to the individual level in addition to changes in “constitutional” attributes were integrated into three scenarios. The valuation was conducted using the Contingent Valuation Method through the elicitation of individuals’ willingness to pay. Results show positive willingness to pay values for all scenarios. However, farmers of the studied region are shown willing to pay more for changes in the constitutional attributes. Furthermore their willingness to pay appears to be most affected by their perceptions concerning the organization and the functioning of the water users’ association to which they belong and by their productivity.

description: Agricultural commodity markets are volatile, thus inefficient: prices never equate long run marginal costs. In order to correct such a situation, one has to understand where does volatility comes from. Everybody congregate on the fact that large price fluctuations are the consequence of small supply fluctuations magnified by a rigid demand. But there exists two alternative explanations of supply changes. The exogenous explanation relies on natural events, such as climatic accidents. The endogenous explanation focuses on expectations and the way actual markets are operating. Making the distinction between these two theoretical basis is very important, since the remedies to volatility are completely different, even opposite, according to which of them actually holds.
description: Agricultural price volatility is "bad". But where does it come from? Remedies are completely different for "endogenous" or "exogenous" fluctuations. The recent crisis seems to indicate that exogenous remedies have been applied to endogenous fluctuations.

description: In recent years, concerns regarding the environmental implications of the rising coal demand have induced considerable efforts to generate long-term forecasts of China’s energy requirements. Nevertheless, none of the previous empirical studies on energy demand for China has tackled the issue of modelling coal demand in China at provincial level. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap. In particular, we model and forecast the Chinese demand for coal using time series data disaggregated by provinces. Moreover, not only does our analysis account for heterogeneity among provinces, but also, given the nature of the data, it captures the presence of spatial autocorrelation among provinces using a spatial econometric model. A fixed effects spatial lag model and a fixed effects spatial error model are estimated to describe and forecast industrial coal demand. Our empirical results show that the fixed effect spatial lag model better captures the existing interdependence between provinces. This model forecasts an average annual increase in coal demand to 2010 of 4 percent.
