Do we need ramsey taxation? Our existing taxes are largely corrective by Yan, Eric, Feng, Qu, Ng, Yew-Kwang

“…Due to the importance of environmental disruption (both in production and consumption), relative competition between individuals (including conspicuous consumption and keeping up with the Joneses), the diamond effect, excessive consumerism or the materialist bias, most taxes in most countries, though mainly designed for revenue collection, are largely corrective than distortive. …”

Self-consistent learning of neural dynamical systems from noisy time series by Wang, Zhe, Guet, Claude

“…On a chaotic time series masked by additive Gaussian noise, we demonstrate that the denoising ability and the predictive power of the proposed method are mainly due to the self-consistency, insensitive to methods used for the state space reconstruction.…”

Electronic reconstruction and surface two-dimensional electron gas in a polarized heterostructure with a hole-doped single copper-oxygen plane by Yang, Xiaoping, Su, Haibin

“…The stable antiferromagnetic insulating bulk state up to 8% doping in this disorder-free structure is remarkable; moreover, this antiferromagnetic state coexists with two-dimensional electron gas on the top surface of LaAlO3, which originates from out-of-plane charge transfer mainly between the La-d3z2−1 state at the surface and Cu-eg states in the CuO2 plane. …”

Ag3XO4 (X = P, As, V)电子结构及光催化性质的第一性原理计算 = First-principles study on the electronic and photocatalytic properties of Ag3XO4 (X = P, As, V) by 李蛟 Li Jiao, 陈忠 Chen Zhong

“…In comparison to Ag3PO4, Ag3VO4 shows better photocatalytic stability, mainly due to the enhanced Ag―O bonds and improved Ag ion stability, but poorer photocatalytic activity in the visible light region mainly due to the presence of d orbital character at the conduction band minimum (CBM) and lower valence band maximum (VBM) potentials (2.335 V, vs NHE). …”
