Global outsourcing of carbon emissions 1995–2009: A reassessment
(2019)Environmental Science & PolicyIncreasing global production fragmentation allows for outsourcing of emissions, which may undermine national climate policies. Researchers focusing on the gap between consumption-based and production-based emissions have concluded that developed countries are systematically outsourcing emissions to developing countries. However, asymmetries in emissions embodied in trade may emerge due to differences in carbon intensity of energy and ...Journal Article -
The Nobel Memorial Prize for William D. Nordhaus
(2019)The Scandinavian Journal of EconomicsWilliam D. Nordhaus and Paul M. Romer received the 2018 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. This paper surveys Nordhaus’ contributions on “integrating climate change into long-run macroeconomic analysis”, for which he was recognized with this Prize.Journal Article -
OCTP: A Tool for On-the-Fly Calculation of Transport Properties of Fluids with the Order-n Algorithm in LAMMPS
(2019)Journal of Chemical Information and ModelingWe present a new plugin for LAMMPS for on-the-fly computation of transport properties (OCTP) in equilibrium molecular dynamics. OCTP computes the self- and Maxwell–Stefan diffusivities, bulk and shear viscosities, and thermal conductivities of pure fluids and mixtures in a single simulation. OCTP is the first implementation in LAMMPS that uses the Einstein relations combined with the order-n algorithm for the efficient sampling of dynamic ...Journal Article -
Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8 in south-west France 2016–2017: A modeling study of control strategies
(2019)EpidemicsIn the winter 2016–2017 the largest epidemic of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) ever recorded in the European Union spread to all 28 member states. France was hit particularly hard and reported a total of 484 infected premises (IPs) by March 2017. We developed a mathematical model to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of the epidemic and evaluate the impact of control strategies. We estimated that farms rearing ducks were on ...Journal Article -
Robust estimations of the region of attraction using invariant sets
(2019)Journal of the Franklin InstituteThe Region of Attraction of an equilibrium point is the set of initial conditions whose trajectories converge to it asymptotically. This article, building on a recent work on positively invariant sets, deals with inner estimates of the ROA of polynomial nonlinear dynamics. The problem is solved numerically by means of Sum Of Squares relaxations, which allow set containment conditions to be enforced. Numerical issues related to the ensuing ...Journal Article -

Criteria for effective zero-deforestation commitments
(2019)Global Environmental ChangeZero-deforestation commitments are a type of voluntary sustainability initiative that companies adopt to signal their intention to reduce or eliminate deforestation associated with commodities that they produce, trade, and/or sell. Because each company defines its own zero-deforestation commitment goals and implementation mechanisms, commitment content varies widely. This creates challenges for the assessment of commitment implementation ...Journal Article -

Re-education of Tumor-Associated Macrophages by CXCR2 Blockade Drives Senescence and Tumor Inhibition in Advanced Prostate Cancer
(2019)Cell ReportsTumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) represent a major component of the tumor microenvironment supporting tumorigenesis. TAMs re-education has been proposed as a strategy to promote tumor inhibition. However, whether this approach may work in prostate cancer is unknown. Here we find that Pten-null prostate tumors are strongly infiltrated by TAMs expressing C-X-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CXCR2), and activation of this receptor through ...Journal Article -
Thumbs up: Imagined hand movements counteract the adverse effects of post-surgical hand immobilization
(2019)NeuroImage: ClinicalMotor imagery (M.I.) training has been widely used to enhance motor behavior. To characterize the neural foundations of its rehabilitative effects in a pathological population we studied twenty-two patients with rhizarthrosis, a chronic degenerative articular disease in which thumb-to-fingers opposition becomes difficult due to increasing pain while the brain is typically intact. Before and after surgery, patients underwent behavioral ...Journal Article
