The Regional Cambridge Multisectoral Dynamic Model of the UK Economy

A model was developed to simulate tuber yield and water use of a potato crop by modifying and extending an existing water-use model. Empirical validation of the model was carried out with data from 37 crop-years of experiments on a wide range of cultivars at five sites within the UK (viz Silsoe, Gleadthorpe, Rothamsted, Woburn and Dundee). The study confirmed the validity of the model over a range of yields from 1·67 to 73·7 t/ha and under conditions from severely droughted to fully irrigated.

Abstract This paper studies individual and social motives in tax evasion. We build a simple dynamic model that incorporates these motives and their interaction. The social motives underpin the role of norms and is the source of the dynamics that we study. Our empirical analysis exploits the adoption in 1990 of a poll tax to fund local government in the UK, which led to widespread evasion. The evidence is consistent with the model's main predictions on the dynamics of evasion.

Thermodynamic Framework

Volume is a highly regulated property of cells, because it critically affects intracellular concentration. In the present chapter, we focus on the short-term volume regulation in yeast as a consequence of a shift in extracellular osmotic conditions. We review a basic thermodynamic framework to model volume and solute flows. In addition, we try to select a model for turgor, which is an important hydrodynamic property, especially in walled cells. Finally, we demonstrate the validity of the presented approach by fitting the dynamic model to a time course of volume change upon osmotic shock in yeast.
