Asymmetric effects of oil price shocks on the demand for money in Algeria by Amirouche, Chelghoum

“…This paper investigates the symmetric and asymmetric effects of real oil prices on real money demand in Algeria over the period 1999:Q1–2020:Q1. Using a linear autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL), and a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model (NARDL), we find no evidence of a long-term relationship among the variables. …”

Higher egg consumption associated with increased risk of diabetes in Chinese adults - China Health and Nutrition Survey. by Wang, Yue

“…Three trajectory groups of egg consumption were identified. Compared with group 1 (30·7 %, low baseline intake and slight increase), both group 2 (62·2 %, medium baseline intake and increase) and group 3 (7·1 %, high baseline intake and decrease) were associated with an increased OR for diabetes. …”

The status of forward osmosis technology implementation by Awad, Abdelrahman M.

“…Against this, FO can be energetically favoured if deployed: (a) without the DS recovery step, i.e. osmotic concentration (OC) or fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis (FDFO), (b) in competition with evaporative desalination processes, or (c) for combined desalination and wastewater purification, when a comparatively low salinity stream is available for providing osmotic dilution (OD) of the saline feed water. …”

Effects of Fine-Grained Particles' Migration and Clogging in Porous Media on Gas Production from Hydrate-Bearing Sediments by Jung, Jongwon

“…The results show that (1) the concentration of fine particles required to form clogging and/or bridging in pores decreased with the decrease in fine particle-pore throat size ratio, (2) the effects of ionic concentration of fluid on clogging behaviors depend on the types of fine particles, and (3) fine particles prefer to accumulate along the deionized water- (DW-) CO2 interface and migrate together, which in turn easily causes clogging in pores. …”

Pd nanocrystals encapsulated in MOF-derived Ni/N-doped hollow carbon nanosheets for efficient thermal CO oxidation: unveiling the effect of porosity by Ipadeola, Adewale K.

“…The obtained Pd/Ni-MOF-HNC possesses hollow carbon sheets with a great surface area (153.05 m2 g−1), pore volume (0.12 cm3 g−1), rich Pd/Ni-Nx active sites, Ni-metal defects, rich N-content (7.53 at%), mixed Pd/Ni-oxide phases, and uniformly distributed ultra-small Pd nanocrystals (7.03 ± 1.10 nm); meanwhile, Pd/Ni-MOF-NC formed without etching had no porosity and less Ni-metal defects. …”

Recycled Polypropylene Fibres for Reinforcing Cement Mortar under Arid Conditions by Bendjillali, Khadra

“…The obtained results showed a substantial increase in the flow time of about 53% in mortar reinforced by 1% of recycled polypropylene fibres (1RPFM). It is also shown that under arid conditions, the presence of 1% of recycled polypropylene fibres in cement mortar leads to a considerable decrease in total shrinkage of about 46% and an increase in the flexural and compressive strength of about 24% and 26%, respectively, compared to control mortar (CM) at the age of 194 days. …”
