Modelling to generate alternatives with an energy system optimization model
ENVIRONMENTAL MODELLING & SOFTWARE, 79, 300–310.
author keywords: Mathematical modeling; Energy systems; Optimization; Uncertainty
TL;DR:
This paper employs an existing optimization technique called modeling to generate alternatives (MGA), which involves a change in the model structure in order to systematically explore the near-optimal decision space, to explore different cost- and CO2-constrained futures.

Sharing the Roles: An Assessment of Japanese Medaka Estrogen Receptors in Vitellogenin Induction
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 50(16), 8886–8895.
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Assay; Estradiol / metabolism; Estrogens / metabolism; Gene Expression / drug effects; Oryzias / metabolism; Receptors, Estrogen / metabolism; Up-Regulation / drug effects; Vitellogenins / metabolism
TL;DR:
Investigation of putative roles of three ER subtypes in Japanese medaka shows that all three medaka ERs are capable of initiating transactivation of both VTG I and II, and suggests that preferential ligand/receptor/promoter interactions may have direct implications for VTG gene expression and other ER-mediated regulatory functions that are relevant to the risk assessment of estrogenic compounds.
