Long-term impacts of exposure to high temperatures on human capital and economic productivity

Weather anomalies have a range of adverse contemporaneous impacts on health and socio-economic outcomes. This paper tests if temperature anomalies around the time of birth can have long-term impacts on individuals' economic productivity. Using unique data sets on historical weather and earnings, place and date of birth of all 1.5 million formal employees in Ecuador, we find that individuals who have experienced in-utero temperatures that are 1 °C above average are less educated and earn about 0.7% less as adults. Results are robust to alternative specifications and falsification tests and suggest that warming may have already caused adverse long-term economic impacts.     

基于AVR单片机的Internet联网安防报警主机设计

介绍了一种基于AVR单片机的一种Internet联网智能安防报警主机的硬件及软件设计。安防报警主机以AVR系列的ATmega16单片机为控制核心,以ENC28J60作为Internet接口的以太网控制器控制芯片,当布防区域有警情或报警主机有异常发生时,可以即时通过Internet对预先设定报警服务主机进行报警。通过Internet,用户可以随时随地通过PC控制主机对远端报警主机进行布防、撤防及查询状态等控制。本报警主机具有组网方便、监测范围广、报警可靠性高等特点。

Infant health impacts of freshwater algal blooms: Evidence from an invasive species natural experiment

Economists are increasingly interested in causally interpretable estimates of environmental health externalities, particularly on infant health. This paper focuses on a specific case by investigating microcystin, a toxin produced by freshwater blue-green algal blooms. We exploit a natural experiment caused by a zebra mussel die-off in a large lake located in the state of Michigan, USA to identify changes in microcystin-related infant outcomes surrounding the lake. Using both the synthetic control method and a difference-in-differences strategy, we find that instances of low birth weight around the lake fell by 1.4 percentage points after lake water quality improved. Along the intensive margin, birth weight and length of gestation increased by 17.1 g and 0.47 weeks, respectively. Improvements to low birth weight result in $768,500 in average annual hospitalization cost savings. Many robustness and falsification tests are performed including using both annual and monthly data and accounting for possible weather confounders and seasonality. Results suggest that microcystin can affect infant health at levels below current water advisory guidelines.

镰刀菌HJ01对苯酚的降解性能

为了研究真菌对苯酚的降解能力,采用本实验室分离的一株镰刀菌HJ01,考察了外加碳源、降解体系初始pH、温度对HJ01菌体生长量和苯酚降解效果的影响,初步探讨了镰刀菌降解苯酚的动力学与机理。实验结果表明,该菌能以苯酚为惟一碳源生长,添加适量的蔗糖可促进HJ01菌体的生长及苯酚的降解。在蔗糖加入量为3g／L、降解体系初始pH为6．0、温度为30℃的最佳条件下,经HJ01菌处理4d后的质量浓度为420mg／L苯酚废水中的苯酚完全降解。镰刀菌的生长和苯酚降解动力学符合Andrews模型。

Economic implications of long distance commuting in the Chilean mining industry

More than 10% of the labor force that works in Antofagasta lives in other regions, commuting on average more than 800 km in a shift system that allows working several days in a row followed by several days off. The mining industry is the main contractor of such workers and the impact of the process spreads through the rest of the Chilean territory.Using an input-output approach, this paper shows that a significant amount of resources generated by the mining industries in the Region of Antofagasta goes to other regions in wages earned by commuters who have decided to work in this region but live in another. The commuting process seems to be driven by centripetal forces that support centralization, thus arguing for regional policies to promote the attractiveness of the peripheral regions.
