TL;DR: Sorption by the acclimatized biomass was found a suitable method for the removal of Endosulfan at a concentration of 24 mg/l and showed efficiency of 89.7% and after prior Acclimatisation showed 96% removal efficiency.
Abstract: Management of Endosulfan contaminated eluent (24 mg/l) resulting from a treatment process to remove Endosulfan from water with wood charcoal, was attempted using various methods viz. volatilisation, hydrolysis and sorption by viable cell bacteria with and without acclimatisation. Volatilisation failed in giving better result, as Endosulfan was not considerably volatile. It could achieve a removal efficiency of 1.4-2%. Hydrolysis resulted in 28.4% and 17.9% removal of Endosulfan in acidic and alkaline media, respectively. Viable cell bacteria (aerobic) without prior acclimatization showed efficiency of 89.7% and after prior acclimatisation showed 96% removal efficiency. Sorption by the acclimatized biomass was found a suitable method for the removal of Endosulfan at a concentration of 24 mg/l.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of recent inflation and financial shocks on the vulnerable, and explored policy design to reduce both future shocks and vulnerability to shocks, and drew together other policy measures to improve security for the old and keep them an active, vital part of the community.
Abstract: The paper examines the impact of recent inflation and financial shocks on the vulnerable, and explores policy design to reduce both future shocks and vulnerability to shocks. Inflation affects the typical savings cum pension portfolio and the specific consumption basket of the old, as prices of services rise compared to manufactured goods. Money illusion and habit, which tend to increase with age, aggravate the psychological trauma associated with inflation. The decline of traditional sources of social security marginalizes those without savings, in the context of sustained ruralurban and international migration. Trends determining inflationdomestic and global, institutional change, and greater openness explain why inflation has been moderate in India, compared to other emerging markets. Since the polity is averse to high inflation, and commodity price shocks are moderating, high inflation will not persist. But the shocks demonstrate the importance of food price inflation for aggregate inflation in populous South Asia. Therefore improvements in agricultural productivity, with supportive buffer stock, fiscal and monetary policy are critical to lower the level of chronic inflation. Regulatory changes to reduce excessive risktaking in financial markets and the aggravation of inflation from speculation are examined. Finally, other policy measures to improve security for the old and keep them an active, vital part of the community are drawn together.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed whether the combination of political delegation and sequential choice in tax competition would lead to higher taxation or not, and they showed that political delegation with leadership not only restricts race-to-the-bottom but also mitigates the possibility of over provision of public good.
Abstract: Leadership (sequential choice) and political delegation are two mechanisms suggested to restrict ‘race-to-the-bottom’ in tax competition. In this paper, we analyze whether these two mechanisms when combined together would lead to unilaterally higher taxation or not. We show that political delegation with leadership in tax competition not only restricts ‘race-to-the-bottom’ but also mitigates the possibility of over provision of public good. In sequential choice game, only the follower region delegates taxation power to the policy maker but not the leader region. This puts a check on intensity of tax competition and leads to optimal provision of public good.
