Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Tradable permits have been proposed as an alternative to the tax. There are two main possibilities :(i) estimating "reasonable" emissions country by country and establishing commensurate quotas or(ii) distributing tradable rights in accordance with some "equitably" criterion, such as equal emissions per capita(a possibility that has actually been discussed). Depending on how restrictive the aggregate of such tradable emission rights might be, the latter is tantamount to distributing trillions of dollars in discounted value and making, for a country like Nigeria, the outcome of its population census the country's major economic policy. If, instead, quotas are negotiated to correspond to every country's currently "reasonable" emissions level, they will surely be renegotiated every 5 or 10 years, and selling an emissions right will be perceived as evidence that a quota was initially too generous. It is unlikely that governments will engage in trades that acknowledge excessive initial quotas. 1, record 2, English, - tradable%20emission%20rights

In order to model the progress of an epidemic in a large population, the population diversity must be reduced to a few key characteristics which are relevant to the infection under consideration. For example, for most common childhood diseases that confer long-lasting immunity, it makes sense to divide the population into those who are susceptible to the disease, those who are infected and those who have recovered and are immune. These subdivisions of the population are called compartments... The SIR model labels these three compartments S=number susceptible, I=number infectious, and R=number recovered(immune). This is a good and simple model for many infectious diseases including measles, mumps and rubella. 4, record 3, English, - susceptible%2Dinfected%2Drecovered%20model

[The Kermack-McKendrick model] was proposed to explain the rapid rise and fall in the number of infected patients observed in epidemics such as the plague(London 1665-1666, Bombay 1906) and cholera(London 1865). It assumes that the population size is fixed(i. e., no births, deaths due to disease, or deaths by natural causes), incubation period of the infectious agent is instantaneous, and duration of infectivity is same as length of the disease. It also assumes a completely homogeneous population with no age, spatial, or social structure. 3, record 3, English, - susceptible%2Dinfected%2Drecovered%20model

Un modèle épidémiologique est formé de deux parties : compartiments et règles. Les compartiments divisent la population dans les différents états possibles par rapport à la maladie [...] Les règles spécifient la proportion des individus passant d'une classe à une autre. Ainsi, dans un cas à deux compartiments, il existe une proportion p(S → I) d'individus sains devenant infectés et, selon les maladies, il peut aussi exister une proportion p(I → S) d'individus infectieux étant guéris. L'acronyme utilisé pour un modèle est généralement fondé sur l'ordre de ses règles. Dans le modèle SIS, un individu est initialement sain (S), peut devenir infecté (I) puis être guéri (S) [...] Dans le cas d'un modèle SIR, un individu commence sain, peut devenir infecté puis se remettre de sa maladie avec une immunisation. 3, record 3, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20SIR
