Glyptothorax

description: [[Genus Glyptothorax Blyth]]
Glyptothorax Blyth, 1860 is a diverse (84 nominal species), widely distributed genus of sisorid catfish known from Asia Minor (in the Tigris and Euphrates River drainages) east- and southwards to the Yangtze River drainage and southeast Asia. Members of the genus are diagnosed in having a thoracic adhesive apparatus comprising an elliptical field of folded longitudinal pleats of skin, a detached distal portion of the premaxilla, and long and thin lateral arms of the vomer that extend under the entire length of the articular process of the lateral ethmoid (de Pinna, 1996). The genus is very diverse in the Indian subcontinent (29 of the 84 nominal species are known from there), although the taxonomy of Indian Glyptothorax is poorly understood.
During recent ichthyological surveys of northeast India, two species of Glyptothorax were obtained from the Ganges River drainage. One of the species was referable to G. telchitta (Hamilton, 1822), but the second morphologically similar species was not readily identifiable. Further investigation revealed that the second species is referable to G. botius (Hamilton, 1822), and that the identities of the two species have been confused for some time. The objective of this study is to clarify the identities of these two species and to redescribe them. Neotypes are also designated for Pimelodus telchitta Hamilton, 1822 and Pimelodus botius Hamilton, 1822 to fix the taxonomy of these species.

The Regulation of Surface Freight Transportation: The Welfare Effects Revisited

Subjects: Tariffs, Marginal costs, Cost estimates, Shipping, Marginal cost pricing, Shipments, Total surplus, Traffic estimation, Transportation regulation, Statistical estimation

description: This paper reexamines a topic that has been much studied by economists—estimating the effects on resource allocation of the economic regulation of surface freight transport. It demonstrates that in several studies the methods used to estimate the welfare costs of rate regulation are invalid, develops a correct procedure, and provides estimates of the welfare effects using data and estimates of modal market share relationships from a study by Boyer. The paper also analyzes some implications of an important assumption that is common among studies of the transportation sector. The assumption is that the total quantity of freight shipments by all modes is invariant with respect to tariff levels.

description: Nonmanipulable direct revelation social choice functions are characterized for societies where the space of alternatives is a euclidean space and all voters have separable preferences with a global optimum. If a nonmanipulable choice function satisfies a weak unanimity-respecting condition (which is equivalent to having an unrestricted range) then it will depend only on voters' ideal points. Further, such a choice function will decompose into a product of one-dimensional mechanisms in the sense that each coordinate of the chosen point depends only on the respective coordinate of the voter's ideal points. Each coordinate function will also be nonmanipulable and respect unanimity. Such one-dimensional mechanisms are uncompromising in the sense that voters cannot take an extreme position to influence the choice to their advantage. Two characterizations of uncompromising choice functions are presented. One is in terms of a continuity condition, the other in terms of "phantom voters," i.e., those points which are chosen which are not any voter's ideal point. There are many such mechanisms which are not dictatorial. However, if differentiability is required of the choice function, this forces it to be either constant or dictatorial. In the multidimensional case, nonseparability of preferences leads to dictatorship, even if preferences are restricted to be quadratic.

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1981

description: The single step growth against limit equation is introduced and its consequences (s curves) are briefly explored. The possibility of sudden jumps (violations) from one growth limit curve to another is recognized and formulated. The full model featuring stochastic violations is developed. An integral equation governing the time evolution of probability density of growth is derived. The integral equation is reduced to a dispersion relation which is used to calculate the velocities of the first three moments of the growth probability density. The improvements in airliner performance over the years is analyzed by decomposition of certain economic data against the models parameters.

On Reconciling Conflicting Goals: Applications of Multiobjective Programming
Creators: name: Hahn, Robert W.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1981

description: This paper examines the problem of identifying cost-effective solutions to problems characterized by multiple objectives. The traditional approach has been to minimize costs subject to feasibility constraints and a set of targets. This is compared with a multiobjective programming approach which treats the objectives as choice variables and cost as a parameter. To illustrate the two approaches, the problem of achieving environmental objectives is analyzed. The comparison reveals that the traditional cost-minimizing approach can generate solutions which are inefficient, in the sense that greater emission reductions could have been attained at the same cost. Because the solution sets to the two problems may differ, conditions are derived under which the two approaches yield a similar set of results.

description: This paper addresses the Brazilian corn production logistic supply chain with an optimisation model considering carbon emission from transportation and carbon sequestration from corn production. The focus is on the higher-level decision planning, which includes the best regions for corn cultivation, location and sizing of silos to store grains, transportation modes with intermodality, considering several resource constraints to meet the demands of domestic market and export. Two conflicting objectives are considered: the logistics costs of the supply chain and the balance of CO2. Accurate data are used to evaluate the model and the Pareto optimal solutions are produced in scenarios potentially feasible in practice. The solutions showed relevant information to guide decisions about investment in logistic infrastructure. We demonstrated that cleaner transportation routes lead to solutions that have larger carbon stocks with 3–5% increase in costs by only choosing more suitable regions for corn cultivation and transportation modes.

description: The recent literature on economies with an incomplete set of markets has been devoted to the study of the efficiency properties of collective stockholder decision mechanisms for guiding the behavior of firms when the restrictive Ekern-Wilson spanning condition is not satisfied. The results have been essentially negative; a majority voting rule and controlling interest rules will not yield efficient equilibrium allocations in general. However, in a recent paper, Helpman and Razin (1978) suggested a decision rule that assures constrained Pareto optimality of equilibrium allocations. Their rule is patterned on the recent contributions to the theory of incentive compatibility. In this paper, we show that an equilibrium relative to the Helpman-Razin Mechanism rarely exists, making their optimality result essentially vacuous. We then demonstrate that an equilibrium does exist in general relative to the Shared Cost Mechanism developed by Hurwicz (1976), and that all equilibrium allocations in the Helpman-Razin model are constrained Pareto optima. Finally, we suggest that the optimality of equilibrium allocations is as much a consequence of how technology is modeled as of the incentives induced by the decision mechanism. Existence, on the other hand, is very sensitive in general to the decision mechanism adopted.

Inter-Energy Substitution in Korea, 1962-1975
Creators: name: Shin, Euisoon
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1981

description: In Korea, oil composed only 8.2 percent of total energy consumption in 1962. But oil consumption has grown rapidly through the first and second five-year economic development plan, comprising 52.7 percent of total energy consumption in 1971. One of the most important reasons of the change in the composition of energy consumption through time is the change in the relative price of energy sources. This paper utilizes a translog unit cost function to examine the substitution possibilities among electricity, oil, and coal in Korea. The estimation results with the 1962-1975 aggregate national time-series data shows that the three energy sources are all substitutable and that electricity and coal are the best substitutes.

Discussion: This genus possibly dates from F. Cuvier, 1823. Mem. Mus. Hist. Hat. Paris, 9:427, 433-435, where Sphiggurus seems only a French name "Sphiggure" except on pp. 433-434, where it is abbreviated " S. spinosa ". Formerly included in Coendou by Cabrera (1961), Walker et al. (1975), and Hall (1981); see also comments under Coendou. Considered a distinct genus by Husson (1978:484-490). Voss and Angermann (1997) agreed with the conclusion of Handley and Pine (1992) that Sphiggurus could not be meaningfully diagnosed as a taxon distinct from Coendou. Bonvicino et al. (2000) suggested that Coendou and Sphiggurus represent distinct lineages that have evolved by different chromosomal mechanisms. Sphiggurus appears to have evolved by Robertsonian mechanisms and demonstrates variation in 2n ranging from 42 to 72 while retaining a FN=76 (Bonvicino et al., 2000). The Robertsonian pattern of chromosomal differentiation and molecular data (Bonvicino et al., 2002 a) tentatively supports the distinction of Sphiggurus from Coendou. Woods (1984, 1993) and Nowak (1991) followed Husson (1978) and recognized Sphiggurus as distinct from Coendou. Emmons and Feer (1990:201) recognized Coendou [Sphiggurus] sneiderni, the White-fronted Hairy Dwarf Porcupine from Cauca Department of Colombia, which is apparently known from only one specimen, but this species is not recognized here, and is tentatively placed in the synonymy of Echinoprocta following Cabrera (1961).

description: This study investigates the trade-off between sustainability measures and pricing strategies within a three-tier fabless semiconductor supply chain. We examine diverse configurations of channel power to identify the optimal power structure when integrating sustainability measures into the semiconductor foundry. The Stackelberg game, Vertical Nash game, and Mean-Variance analysis are employed to model the complex dynamics among channel partners. The findings indicate that for a specific threshold limit of manufacturing and sustainability costs, implementing sustainability measures not only increases the optimal price for foundry but also enhances the margin and sales volume for the fabless company, leading to improved profits for all chain partners. Examining channel power structures reveals the threshold limit of sustainability cost which maximise the profit for the channel leader and the channel follower. Additionally, lower price elasticity favours maximum profits under channel leadership, whereas higher price elasticity values result in higher optimal profits when both partners share comparable channel power. The study also identifies the significant influence of partners’ risk aversion on overall profitability and offers valuable insights for practicing managers in the fabless supply chain, providing guidance on optimising pricing strategies, navigating channel power dynamics, considering price elasticity, and managing risk aversion to enhance overall profitability.

A Framework for Unreasonable Risk in the Toxic Substances Control Act
Creators: name: Page, Talbot
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1981

description: "Unreasonable risk" is a key term in the Toxic Substances Control Act. A finding that a chemical "may present an unreasonable risk" must be made before testing can be required, under section 4a of the Act; a finding of "presents or will present an unreasonable risk" must be made before a chemical can be regulated under section 6a. In the act and legislative history, "unreasonable risk" was defined in very general terms as a balancing of the probability of harm, the severity of harm, and benefits of the chemical in question. The Environmental Protection Agency was delegated the responsibility to define a legal concept of unreasonable risk. I wrote this paper while in residence at the Office Pesticides and Toxic Substances (EPA) as part of the effort to define "unreasonable risk" for regulatory purposes.
This paper develops a concept of unreasonable risk based on economic efficiency. Three ingredients are brought together in a common framework: baseline or existing information; the characteristics of a test, if testing is to be an option; and the valuation of the costs and benefits of the various control options.
The framework is designed to accommodate "typical" characteristics of toxics problems: "zero-infinity" dilemmas and the low statistical power of tests. Because of pervasive uncertainties in both baseline information and in new information, several rules of thumb and policy directions are suggested. A complete definition of unreasonable risk would go beyond minimization of expected costs to incorporate considerations of equity.

description: In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, enhancing productivity and operational efficiency is crucial for companies to meet the rising customer demands and expectations driven by recent technological advancements. This study presents a case of productivity enhancement in mould shop manufacturing, which was experiencing bottlenecks and non-value-added (NVA) activities, leading to inefficiencies that limit the throughput. A Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model is developed for the mould shop considering the major components such as Hub, Mainframe, and Planet Carrier. Bottleneck resources are identified from the DES model. The validation of the simulation results is carried out using Pareto analysis. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Five Whys (5-Why) analysis are used to brainstorm the causes that lead to lower productivity. Time-reduction strategies using the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) improved the throughput. The improvements are incorporated into the DES model, and updated results are obtained. As a result, throughput for the hub improved by 60% for the hub, 40% for the mainframe, and 55.88% for the planet carrier. These results show how integrating continuous improvement tools with simulation models enables streamlining operations and substantially increases productivity. The scenario reveals that Lean principles successfully overcome real-world manufacturing problems.

description: Recent work in game theory has shown that, in principle, it may be possible for firms in an industry to form a self-policing cartel to maximize their joints profits. This paper studies the applicability of that work to empirical industrial organization. A model of a noncooperatively supported cartel is presented, and the aspects of industry structure which would make such a cartel viable are discussed.

description: A prominent situation in the transportation of goods to their destination is the need for unexpected changes to predetermined routes. In addition, when transporting goods to units with urgent needs have to be met. This problem of rerouting multiple vehicles under extreme situations when a route change is investigated in this paper. The delivery of medical products to nodes carrying infectious diseases is chosen as a case study whereas the vehicles visit each unit, the risk of contamination increases, and the vehicles need to meet the needs of the most urgent units first. For this case study, a modified test data is generated for dynamic problem, and it is solved with two-layered framework. The first layer is the static layer that the initial route is planned, and the second layer is the re-optimisation layer that is solved by using the proposed algorithm named as evolutionary algorithm operator-based Hybrid Genetic and Greedy algorithm (EAO-GA2). The proposed algorithm for the two layer frameworks studied in this research gave 83% better results than the problems solved for the static problem, and the total distance change in the dynamic problems studied was only 1.06%.

The Economics of Boxing Regulation in California

Year: 1981

description: Boxing was legalized in California through a statewide referendum in 1924that simultaneously set up a regulatory authority with broad powers to control the industry. This study examines the economic performance of the boxing industry, the case for regulatory intervention, and the effects of the specific kinds of regulatory rules that have been imposed. While regulation in California is widely believed to be an important factor explaining the unusually low rates of death and injury in boxing matches in the state, it is also shown to have anticompetitive effects. Several changes in regulatory procedures are proposed that would not reduce the extent to which regulation protects boxers, but would serve to enhance the competitive performance of the industry.

description: Given a closer match to user preferences, the customised products have become increasingly prevalent and can benefit both manufacturers and consumers. This paper considers a production and outbound distribution scheduling (PODS) problem of a three-tier supply chain for customised products. To integrate production and outbound distribution operations, we balance three aspects of operation performance: revenue-, environment- and time-based. A globalised robust optimisation (GRO) model that explicitly incorporates transportation costs and greenhouse emissions uncertainty is presented. The globalised robustness of uncertain parameters is also considered via the inner and outer uncertainty sets when the data fluctuation information is beyond the support set. A case study on IKEA in China is then conducted to demonstrate the modelling advantage of the GRO method in terms of solution quality. The computational results and comparative study reveal the applicability of the proposed model and method to solve the PODS problem under uncertainty. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that it incorporates the complex uncertainty into PODS operations of the customised products. By integrating the multi-objective framework and GRO method simultaneously, this study obtains the optimal schemes for production and delivery, further offering valuable policy insights for decision-makers. HighlightsA multi-objective GR optimisation model is developed for PODS problem with customised products.The computationally tractable formulation of GR-PODS model with uncertain parameters is derived.A realistic case on IKEA in China is studied to verify the effectiveness of model and approach.
