description: We extend our study of a simple model of biological coevolution to its statistical properties. Staring with a complete description in terms of a master equation, we provide its relation to the deterministic evolution equations used in previous investigations. The stationary states of the mutationless model are generally well approximated by Gaussian distributions, so that the fluctuations and correlations of the populations can be computed analytically. Several specific cases are studied by Monte Carlo simulations, and there is excellent agreement between the data and the theoretical predictions.

title: The tension between political commitment and academic neutrality in the W.E.A.
Creators: name: Tatton, Derek
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: Throughout the history of the W. E. A. there have been arguments, and sometimes bitter conflicts, about the relationship between educational aims and political objectives. This thesis examines the tensions and the dilemmas generally experienced in any education involving social and political values, by taking the clash of principles between the W. E. A. (non-party, unsectarian, with its formal emphasis upon objectivity in teaching) and the N. C. L. C. (with its proclaimed Marxist partisanship) as a fundamental challenge for critical re-assessment in the light of contemporary thinking and research. The study begins with a consideration of six crucial, and even determining, individual experiences and contributions: those of Albert Mansbridge, R. H. Tawney, J. M. Mactavish, J. P. M. Millar, G. D. H. Cole and Raymond Williams. This is followed by detailed surveys of three particular areas of work - Residential Adult Education, Literature as a W. E. A. Subject, and Community Education from 1960 to 1980 - each of which illustrates how a basic tension between political commitment and academic neutrality permeates all aspects of thinking and practice in the adult education movement. The final chapter draws together the threads from the survey of particular lives, histories and thematic studies to address theoretical questions about the concepts of liberal education and academic neutrality; - about Marxist and other attitudes towards objectivity and dogmatism; about the nature of the relationship between the Labour movement and the adult education movement. The tensions are shown to be deep, enduring and seemingly irreconcilable but changes of emphasis and intensity are apparent as the general history and the wider forces and movements in society determine the ideological parameters and the 'paradigm shifts' within which, or against which, the W. E. A. operates. On the strength of eighty four years' experience, if the W. E. A. celebrates its one hundredth birthday in 2003, it will (and should) do so embodying similar fundamental tensions.

description: We provide a complete and consistent framework to include subasymptotic perturbative as well as mass corrections to the leading twist (tau=2) evaluation of charged and neutral current weak structure functions and the perturbative neutrino cross sections. We revisit previous calculations in a modern language and fill in the gaps that we find missing for a complete and ready-to-use "NLO xi-scaling" formulary. In particular, as a new result we formulate the mixing of the partonic and hadronic structure function tensor basis in the operator approach to deep inelastic scattering. As an underlying framework we follow the operator product expansion a la Georgi & Politzer that allows the inclusion of target mass corrections at arbitrary order in QCD and we provide explicit analytical and numerical results at NLO. We compare this approach with a simpler collinear parton model approach to xi-scaling. Along with target mass corrections we include heavy quark mass effects as a calculable leading twist power suppressed correction. The complete corrections have been implemented into a Monte Carlo integration program to evaluate structure functions and/or integrated cross sections. As applications, we compare the operator approach with the collinear approximation numerically and we investigate the NLO and mass corrections to observables that are related to the extraction of the weak mixing angle from a Paschos-Wolfenstein-like relation in neutrino-iron scattering. We expect that the interpretation of neutrino scattering events in terms of oscillation physics and electroweak precision physics will benefit from our results.

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: High-order plasma shaping (mainly elongation and shift, as opposed to low-order toroidicity) is shown, under certain conditions, to open gaps in the coupled shear-Alfvén and acoustic continua at frequencies significantly above the values predicted by previous theories. Global eigenmodes in these gaps, which lie between those of geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) and toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes (TAEs), are found unstable to hot-ion populations typical of tokamak operation, whilst their fundamental resonances with circulating particles are shown to take place at velocities near the geometric mean of the Alfvén and sound speeds. Therefore, such eigenmodes are expected to be observed near the predicted frequencies at operating tokamaks, playing a still unexplored role in magnetohydrodynamic spectroscopy as well as in the stability of next-step fusion experiments.

description: Recent data on the Nachtmann moments of the unpolarized proton structure function F2p, obtained at low momentum transfer with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab, are interpreted in terms of the dominance of the elastic coupling of the virtual photon with extended substructures inside the proton. The CLAS data exhibit a new type of scaling behavior and the resulting scaling function can be interpreted as a constituent form factor consistent with the elastic nucleon data. A constituent size of ~ 0.2 - 0.3 fm is obtained.

description: Movement within the Earth’s upper crust is commonly accommodated by faults or shear zones, ranging in scale from micro-displacements to regional tectonic lineaments. Since faults are active on different time scales and can be repeatedly reactivated, their displacement chronology is difficult to reconstruct. This study represents a multi-geochronological approach to unravel the evolution of an intracontinental fault zone locality along the Danube Fault, central Europe. At the investigated fault locality, ancient motion has produced a cataclastic deformation zone in which the cataclastic material was subjected to hydrothermal alteration and K-feldspar was almost completely replaced by illite and other phyllosilicates. Five different geochronological techniques (zircon Pb-evaporation, K–Ar and Rb–Sr illite, apatite fission track and fluorite (U-Th)/He) have been applied to explore the temporal fault activity. The upper time limit for initiation of faulting is constrained by the crystallization age of the primary rock type (known as “Kristallgranit”) at 325 ± 7 Ma, whereas the K–Ar and Rb–Sr ages of two illite fractions <2 μm (266–255 Ma) are interpreted to date fluid infiltration events during the final stage of the cataclastic deformation period. During this time, the “Kristallgranit” was already at or near the Earth’s surface as indicated by the sedimentary record and thermal modelling results of apatite fission track data. (U–Th)/He thermochronology of two single fluorite grains from a fluorite–quartz vein within the fault zone yield Cretaceous ages that clearly postdate their Late-Variscan mineralization age. We propose that later reactivation of the fault caused loss of helium in the fluorites. This assertion is supported by geological evidence, i.e. offsets of Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments along the fault and apatite fission track thermal modelling results are consistent with the prevalence of elevated temperatures (50–80°C) in the fault zone during the Cretaceous.
The effect of air pollution on stone decay: the decay of the Drachenfels trachyte in industrial, urban, and rural environments—a case study of the Cologne, Altenberg and Xanten cathedrals

description: Severe stone deterioration is evident at the Cologne cathedral. In particular, the “Drachenfels” trachyte, which was the building material of the medieval construction period, shows significant structural deterioration as well as massive formation of gypsum crusts. The present article investigates crust formation on limestone, sandstone, and volcanic rock from the Cologne cathedral as well as from the Xanten and Altenberg cathedrals. These three buildings, showing varying degrees of deterioration, are located in different areas and exposed to varying industrial, urban, and rural pollution. Thin laminar and black framboidal crusts form on calcareous as well as silicate stone. The lack of a significant intrinsic calcium and sulfur source for the formation of the gypsum crusts on the Drachenfels trachyte indicates major extrinsic environmental impact: a sufficient offer of SOx from pollutant fluxes as well as external calcium sources (e.g., pollution, mortars, neighboring calcite stones). Chemical analyses reveal strong gypsum enrichment within the crusts as well as higher concentrations of lead and other pollutants (arsenic, antimony, bismuth, tin, etc.), which generally can be linked to traffic and industry. The formation of weathering crusts in an industrial environment is clearly distinguishable from that in rural areas. Scanning electron microscopy observations confirm that the total amount of pollution is less at the Altenberg cathedral than at the Cologne and Xanten cathedrals. XRF analyses show that the formation of gypsum occurs in lower amounts at Altenberg. This correlates well with the measured SO2 content and the intensity of the decay at the different locations. Furthermore, the different types of crusts, e.g., framboidal and laminar, can be differentiated and assigned to the different locations. The black weathering crusts on the silicate Drachenfels trachyte contribute to the degradation of the historic building material. They enhance mechanical moisture-related deterioration processes and the decay by chemical corrosion of rock-forming minerals. Although SO2 concentrations in air have shown a strong decrease over the past 30 years, degradation in connection with weathering crusts is still observed. This indicates that not only contemporary or recent emissions, but also past pollutant concentrations have to be considered.
Growth of Sibony metric and Bergman kernel for domains with low regularity

description: It is shown that even a weak multidimensional Suita conjecture fails for any bounded non-pseudoconvex domain with $\mathcal C^1$ boundary: the product of the Bergman kernel by the volume of the indicatrix of the Azukawa metric is not bounded below. This is obtained by finding a direction along which the Sibony metric tends to infinity as the base point tends to the boundary. The analogous statement fails for a Lipschitz boundary. For a general $\mathcal C^1$ boundary, we give estimates for the Sibony metric in terms of some directional distance functions. For bounded pseudoconvex domains, the Blocki-Zwonek Suita-type theorem implies growth to infinity of the Bergman kernel; the fact that the Bergman kernel grows as the square of the reciprocal of the distance to the boundary, proved by S. Fu in the $\mathcal C^2$ case, is extended to bounded pseudoconvex domains with Lipschitz boundaries.

The vertical structure of T Tauri accretion discs IV. Self-irradiation of the disc in the FU Orionis outburst phase

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: I investigate the self-irradiation of intensively accreting circumstellar discs (backwarmed discs). It is modelled using the two-layer disc approach by Lachaume et al. (2003) that includes heating by viscous dissipation and by an external source of radiation. The disc is made of a surface layer directly heated by the viscous luminosity of the central parts of the disc, and of an interior heated by viscosity as well as by reprocessed radiation from the surface. This model convincingly accounts for the infrared excess of some FU Orionis objects in the range 1-200 microns and supports the backwarmed disc hypothesis sometimes invoked to explain the mid- and far-infrared excesses whose origins are still under debate. Detailed simulation of the vertical radiative transfert in the presence of backwarming is still needed to corroborate these results and spectroscopically constrain the properties of intensively accreting discs.

description: The old mining city of Guanajuato in middle Mexico preserves one of the most important historical legacies in colonial buildings, the UNESCO declared the city World Heritage Site in 1988. Practically all the colonial constructions were built with natural stones from the neighbourhood, of which stands a greenish to reddish vulcanite, called Loseros Tuff. Although the Loseros Tuff is widely used in historical buildings in the city. It shows significant deterioration and weathering effects, principally in the parts where the tuff shows a coarse grain size. The petrographic, petrophysical, mineralogical and geochemical properties of the Loseros Tuff were analysed in order to determine the causes, effects, behaviour and response to deterioration of this volcanic rock. The results of the investigations suggest that in addition to the parameters like the grain size and the porosity properties, the pore radii distribution is decisive for the effectiveness of porosity and the water transport into the rock. It is recognized that once the liquid water invades the rock the dissolution of the matrix occurs, which is accompanied by a sudden moisture expansion favoured by the newly formed secondary porosity and the high content of expandable clay minerals.

description: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have shown remarkable success in producing realistic-looking images in the computer vision area. Recently, GAN-based techniques are shown to be promising for spatio-temporal-based applications such as trajectory prediction, events generation and time-series data imputation. While several reviews for GANs in computer vision have been presented, no one has considered addressing the practical applications and challenges relevant to spatio-temporal data. In this paper, we have conducted a comprehensive review of the recent developments of GANs for spatio-temporal data. We summarise the application of popular GAN architectures for spatio-temporal data and the common practices for evaluating the performance of spatio-temporal applications with GANs. Finally, we point out future research directions to benefit researchers in this area.

description: An attractor $Λ$ for a 3-vector field $X$ is singular-hyperbolic if all its singularities are hyperbolic and it is partially hyperbolic with volume expanding central direction. We prove that $C^{1+α}$ singular-hyperbolic attractors, for some $α>0$, always have zero volume, thus extending an analogous result for uniformly hyperbolic attractors. The same result holds for a class of higher dimensional singular attractors. Moreover, we prove that if $Λ$ is a singular-hyperbolic attractor for $X$ then either it has zero volume or $X$ is an Anosov flow. We also present examples of $C^1$ singular-hyperbolic attractors with positive volume. In addition, we show that $C^1$ generically we have volume zero for $C^1$ robust classes of singular-hyperbolic attractors.

title: A national method for predicting environmental pollution
Creators: name: Baverstock, Suzie Jane
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1989

description: Area based prediction methods are developed for the noise indices LAeq, LA10 and LA90 and winter and annual measures of sulphur dioxide air pollution concentrations. The research examines the relationships between these pollutant variables and a number of key demographic predictor variables. The demographic variables considered include:

- traffic density

- road network density and

- land use

for predicting noise and

- land use and,

- whether an area is subject to smoke control

for predicting sulphur dioxide concentrations.

Data from the National Survey of Smoke and Sulphur Dioxide, a noise survey of Milton Keynes, Bexley and the West Midland regions and noise data supplied by Open University undergraduate students studying the course T234 'Environmental Control and Public Health' have been used to calibrate and test the proposed theoretical prediction models partially. Two forms of prediction model are presented namely prediction matrices and linear multivariate regression models.

The main findings of the research are:

1. That LAeq, LA10 and LA90 can be predicted using industrial land use and traffic density but there are regional differences in noise which are unaccounted for by these variables.

2. That the variability of noise (LA10 - LA90) is related to traffic density.

3. Measures of sulphur dioxide are related to both land use and whether an area is subject to a smoke control order and there are no significant regional differences unaccounted for by these predictor variables (East Anglia excluded). Regression equations are presented which predict sulphur dioxide concentrations with accuracies of between ±1.84 µg/m3 and ±4.36 µg/m3. However, the results from the detailed study of the Midland, North East and North West regions indicate that there is an interaction between the region and smoke control variables.

4. The ratio of Smoke/SO2 is related to whether of not an area is subject to smoke control.
Non-intrusive double-greedy parametric model reduction by interpolation of frequency-domain rational surrogates

description: We propose a model order reduction approach for non-intrusive surrogate modeling of parametric dynamical systems. The reduced model over the whole parameter space is built by combining surrogates in frequency only, built at few selected values of the parameters. This, in particular, requires matching the respective poles by solving an optimization problem. If the frequency surrogates are constructed by a suitable rational interpolation strategy, frequency and parameters can both be sampled in an adaptive fashion. This, in general, yields frequency surrogates with different numbers of poles, a situation addressed by our proposed algorithm. Moreover, we explain how our method can be applied even in high-dimensional settings, by employing locally-refined sparse grids in parameter space to weaken the curse of dimensionality. Numerical examples are used to showcase the effectiveness of the method, and to highlight some of its limitations in dealing with unbalanced pole matching, as well as with a large number of parameters.

description: We analyse the CP asymmetry of the B -> phi K_S and B -> eta' K_S processes in general supersymmetric models. We show that chromomagnetic type of operator may play an important role in accounting for the deviation of the mixing CP asymmetry between B -> phi K_S and B -> J/psi K_S processes observed by Belle and BABAR experiments. We also show that due to the different parity in the final states of these processes, their supersymmetric contributions from the R-sector have an opposite sign, which naturally explain the large deviation between their asymmetries.

description: Electron transfer (ET) in biological molecules such as peptides and proteins consists of electrons moving between well defined localized states (donors to acceptors) through a tunneling process. Here we present an analytical model for ET by tunneling in DNA, in the presence of Spin-Orbit (SO) interaction, to produce a strong spin asymmetry with the intrinsic atomic SO strength in meV range. We obtain a Hamiltonian consistent with charge transport through $π$ orbitals on the DNA bases and derive the behavior of ET as a function of the injection state momentum, the spin-orbit coupling and barrier length and strength. A highly consistent scenario arises where two concomitant mechanisms for spin selection arises; spin interference and differential spin amplitude decay. High spin filtering can take place at the cost of reduced amplitude transmission assuming realistic values for the spin-orbit coupling. The spin filtering scenario is completed by addressing the spin dependent torque under the barrier, with a consistent conserved definition for the spin current.
Toxicological and chemotherapeutic effects of oral cesium chloride in PC-3 and LNCaP prostate Cancer human xenografts

description: Purpose: High pH Therapy is an alternative cancer therapy involving the daily ingestion of concentrated dosages of cesium chloride (CsCl). Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of CsCl as a cancer treatment, individuals seeking this therapy need only search the internet to purchase CsCl solutions or tablets. Companies market these CsCl treatments by presenting the most recent CsCl cancer research, the majority of which is outdated and incomplete. The purpose of this study was to assess the therapeutic and toxicological effects of CsCl administration in mice bearing human prostate cancer tumors. Methods: Three CsCl dose titration studies were completed in tumor bearing and nontumor bearing athymic nude mice. All mice were administered either vehicle (controls), 150mg/kg, 300 mg/kg, 600 mg/kg, 800 mg/kg, 1000 mg/kg or 1200mg/kg of CsCl once daily by oral gavage for 30 consecutive days. Body mass was measured daily, food and water consumption were measured every two days, and tumor volume was measured twice weekly. Histopathological analysis was conducted on tissues collected from each of the studies. Serum AST, ALT and creatinine were also measured. Results: Chronic administration of 800mg/kg to 1200mg/kg CsCl significantly reduced PC-3 tumor growth but had no effect on LNCaP tumor growth. In addition, tumor bearing and non-tumor bearing animals receiving these concentrated CsCl dosages (800mg/kg-1200mg/kg) developed bladder crystals and showed an increase in water consumption. An observed loss in body mass and an increased prevalence of postmortem cardiac fibrin clots appeared to be dependent on the xenograft type and concentration of CsCl administered. CsCl did not affect serum AST, ALT and creatinine levels in any of the treatment groups. Conclusions: Although CsCl appears to have some therapeutic benefit in treating the PC-3 prostate cancer model, a number of toxicological effects were also observed linked to its administration, including loss of body mass, increase of water consumption, fibrin clot formation and bladder crystal formation.

description: We introduce a theoretical framework for resource-efficient characterization and control of non-Markovian open quantum systems, which naturally allows for the integration of given, experimentally motivated, control capabilities and constraints. This is achieved by developing a transfer filter-function formalism based on the general notion of a frame and by appropriately tying the choice of frame to the available control. While recovering the standard frequency-based filter-function formalism as a special instance, this control-adapted generalization affords intrinsic flexibility and, crucially, it permits an efficient representation of the relevant control matrix elements and dynamical integrals if an appropriate finite-size frame condition is obeyed. Our frame-based formulation overcomes important limitations of existing approaches. In particular, we show how to implement quantum noise spectroscopy in the presence of nonstationary noise sources, and how to effectively achieve control-driven model reduction for noise-optimized prediction and quantum gate design.

description: Integrating robotic systems in architectural and construction processes is of core interest to increase the efficiency of the building industry. Automated planning for such systems enables design analysis tools and facilitates faster design iteration cycles for designers and engineers. However, generic task-and-motion planning (TAMP) for long-horizon construction processes is beyond the capabilities of current approaches. In this paper, we develop a multi-agent TAMP framework for long horizon problems such as constructing a full-scale building. To this end we extend the Logic-Geometric Programming framework by sampling-based motion planning,a limited horizon approach, and a task-specific structural stability optimization that allow an effective decomposition of the task. We show that our framework is capable of constructing a large pavilion built from several hundred geometrically unique building elements from start to end autonomously.

description: This article identifies ethical perspectives in emotional labour against the context of Covid-19. It briefly outlines current ethical thinking in this space before focusing specifically on issues arising from vaccine development. The authors argue that the discourse needs to be extended, to include a broader range of ethical perspectives and move beyond the experiences of street level bureaucrats, vital though these are.

description: We study several statistical mechanical models on a general tree. Particular attention is devoted to the classical Heisenberg models, where the state space is the d-dimensional unit sphere and the interactions are proportional to the cosines of the angles between neighboring spins. The phenomenon of interest here is the classification of phase transition (non-uniqueness of the Gibbs state) according to whether it is robust. In many cases, including all of the Heisenberg and Potts models, occurrence of robust phase transition is determined by the geometry (branching number) of the tree in a way that parallels the situation with independent percolation and usual phase transition for the Ising model. The critical values for robust phase transition for the Heisenberg and Potts models are also calculated exactly. In some cases, such as the q>=3 Potts model, robust phase transition and usual phase transition do not coincide, while in other cases, such as the Heisenberg models, we conjecture that robust phase transition and usual phase transition are equivalent. In addition, we show that symmetry breaking is equivalent to the existence of a phase transition, a fact believed but not known for the rotor model on Z^2.

description: Understanding the motion of particles on an air-liquid interface can impact a wide range of scientific fields and applications. Diamagnetic particles floating on an air-paramagnetic-liquid interface are previously known to have a repulsive motion from a magnet. Here, we show a motion mechanism where the diamagnetic particles floating on the air-paramagnetic-liquid interface are attracted and eventually trapped at an off-center distance from the magnet. The behavior of magnetic particles has been also studied and the motion mechanisms are theorized in a unified framework, revealing that the motion of particles on an air-paramagnetic-liquid interface is governed not only by magnetic energy, but as an interplay of the curvature of the interface deformation created by the nonuniform magnetic field, the gravitational potential, and the magnetic energy from the particle and the liquid. The attractive motion mechanism has been applied in directed self-assembly and robotic particle guiding.

description: We investigate how entanglement can be transferred between qubits and continuous variable (CV) systems. We find that one ebit borne in maximally entangled qubits can be fully transferred to two CV systems which are initially prepared in pure separable Gaussian field with high excitation. We show that it is possible, though not straightforward, to retrieve the entanglement back to qubits from the entangled CV systems. The possibility of deposition of multiple ebits from qubits to the initially unentangled CV systems is also pointed out.

title: Analysis of conversation: politeness, sequence and topic with special reference to troubles-talk in Turkish
Creators: name: Bayraktaroğlu, Arin
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1989

description: This thesis is concerned with the investigation of politeness in stretches of talk. and covers conversational components like adjacency pairs, sequences, topic, as well as turn internal features such as dispreference markers, and to some extent, mitigation techniques. Troubles-talk in naturally occurring Turkish conversations provides the necessary data. Politeness has so far been studied methodically in single utterances, but its presence in longer stretches of talk has not received a similar interest, nor, to the best of our knowledge, has any methodical work in this area been carried out. To provide a systematic approach to lengthy pieces of conversation, a new framework is developed in Chapter 1 from the well-known notions of politeness like 'face' (Goffman, 1971, 1972) and 'Face Threatening Acts' (FFAs - Brown and Levinson, 1978, 1987), while a combination of extracts from the literature of Conversational Analysis is used to flesh out the discussion. 'With the inclusion of Face Boosting Acts, which are thought to be the opposite of FTAs, the framework shows that in situations where 'positive face' is threatened or boosted, the change in the face values creates Interactional Imbalance, always to the disadvantage of one speaker, and the subsequent turn is commonly designed to put the balance right. Where imbalance is created unwillingly to the disadvantage of the recipient, or has to be ignored, speech is marked with dispreferred turn markers. Before looking for evidence of these points in responses to troubles-telling - a considerable threat to the teller's face - procedures of collection, selection and presentation of data are discussed in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 starts with the topic initiating characteristics of troubles-telling and goes on to explore the acknowledgement types that it gets, differentiated in terms of their capacity to encourage or discourage further talk. Despite different consequences for topic, all acknowledgements are found to be face boosters, and preferred turns. In comparison, Advice is explored in Chapter 4 as a dispreferred turn with further face damage for the teller. It is also found to extend the sequence on the one hand, but minimize the chances of having a proper closure for the talk, on the other. Troubles-telling responses, incorporating a varying degree of' disagreement, are examined in Chapter 5, where it is decided that disagreement is a face booster as long as it follows the recognizable patterns in the culture. The summary of these points in the Conclusion opens up the way to further theoretical issues like the relation of Interactional Imbalance to sequence types, Conditional Relevance, and topic, apart from pinpointing the predominance of face considerations in conversational practice in general.

description: This study evaluates and compares the trends in CO2 emissions for the manufacturing industries of three countries: two developed countries (Germany and Sweden) that have applied several measures to promote a shift towards a low-carbon economy and one developing country (Colombia) that has shown substantial improvements in the reduction of CO2 emissions. This analysis is conducted using panel data cointegration techniques to infer causality between CO2 emissions, production factors and energy sources. The results indicate a trend of producing more output with less pollution. The trends for these countries’ CO2 emissions depend on investment levels, energy sources and economic factors. Furthermore, the trends in CO2 emissions indicate that there are emission level differences between the two developed countries and the developing country. Moreover, the study confirms that it is possible to achieve economic growth and sustainable development while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as Germany and Sweden demonstrate. In the case of Colombia, it is important to encourage a reduction in CO2 emissions through policies that combine technical and economic instruments and incentivise the application of new technologies that promote clean and environmentally friendly processes.
