Standardised packaging, minimum excise tax, and RYO focussed tax rise implications for UK tobacco pricing. by Rosemary Hiscock, Nicole H Augustin, J Robert Branston, Anna B Gilmore

“…Tax changes following the implementation of standardised packaging and the MET were more widely and quickly passed on to smokers in the form of higher prices than the tax change pre-implementation. The main limitations are first that because we do not know the exact mechanism by which Nielsen scales up sample data to provide UK estimates, we could only use data for a set three year period during which the same adjustments are made. …”

Le nivellement des aqueducs de Lyon et leurs aménagements de régulation et de ralentissement : analyse et mise en perspective by Laetitia Borau

“…In addition, a decision had to be made about the type of canal to be built, as this would affect the speed of construction and hence the overall cost of the project, but would also affect ease of maintenance: we can therefore distinguish between the simplest cases –slab-covered concrete canals– and conduits with masonry walls and a vaulted roof through which a maintenance man could walk.The objective here is to put into perspective, on the one hand, the means employed to guarantee a constant slope and to control the flows (regulation and maintenance structures), and on the other hand to overcome the obstacles, particularly the steep slopes (with chutes or dropshafts) and to compare them with other aqueducts in the Roman world, mainly in the western part.The examination of the four conduits demonstrated the small number of regulation and/or decantation structures found across the whole of the Lyon hydraulic network, with three exceptions. …”

Topographie et restitution du chantier de l’aqueduc d’Arles (Bouches-du-Rhône) by Robert Fabre, Philippe Leveau, Vincent Dumas

“…The most likely explanation for tapping into new sources lies either in an increase in the city’s needs or a drop in the flow of those captured by the southern branch.Financial conditions explain why different and sometimes more appropriate choices were not chosen. Overall, the main conclusion that emerges from this study is the primacy of the desire to secure the city’s water supply. …”
