We present a numerical study based on a Monte Carlo algorithm of the magnetic properties of a mixed Ising ferrimagnetic model on a cubic lattice where spins s AE1=2 and spins S 0; AE1 are in alternating sites on the lattice. We carried out exact ground state calculations and employ a Monte Carlo sim

Abstract
Landโuse restrictions are frequently applied to separate nonโpolluting from polluting activities. In contrast to the existing literature, we simultaneously incorporate spatial and intertemporal aspects of the problem and endogenously determine the border of the zones. Intensityโorientated instruments alone, such as a spatially differentiated tax on inputs or outputs, are not able to support the socially optimal outcome and need to be complemented by instruments that affect choices at the extensive margin such as positive or negative landโuse taxes or land zoning. The necessary changes required to transform a spatially optimal, yet static, environmental policy into an intertemporally and spatially optimal environmental policy are presented and discussed.

Stalking (deer hunting) is an important land use and activity in the Scottish Highlands, and deer managers have traditionally maintained large numbers of female deer in order to supply a guaranteed number of stags for stalking. Unfortunately, grazing by large numbers of deer conflicts with environme

Those who advocate such an approach recognize that the world is truly multiperiod and approximately infinite, but find that a single pe
