Thermodynamic analysis of solar-driven chemical looping steam methane reforming over Cr2O3/Cr redox pair by Bhosale, Rahul

“…The total solar energy required to drive the CS process (Q-solar-CS) rises by 1498.8 kW as the CH4/Cr2O3 molar ratio upsurges from 0.5 to 3. In case of the CSH process, when the TL increases from 500 to 1400 K, the Q solar CSH decreases by 54.5 kW and further surge in the TL from 1400 to 2050 K yields into upturn in the Q-solar-CSH by 108.5 kW. …”

Concrete Pavement Truck Equivalence Factors For Upgrades by Razouki, Sabah Said

“…Presented in this paper are the upgrade truck equivalence factors for single unit trucks of type, 1.2 and 1.22 which are not covered by AASHTO. The equivalency factors for front and rear axles of single unit trucks were developed using AASHO Road Test equation after considering the decrease in front axle load and the increase in rear axle load due to the axle load redistribution on upgrades. …”

Effects of financial turmoil on financial integration and risk premia in emerging markets by Boubakri, Salem

“…The aim of this article is to analyze how financial crises affect the dynamics of international financial integration and of the risk premia in emerging markets. Accordingly, we estimate a variant of the International Asset Pricing Model developed by Carrieri et al. (2007), allowing for time-varying stock market integration, in which we include the foreign currency risk. …”

The response of culturally important plants to experimental warming and clipping in Pakistan Himalayas by Karimi, Saira

“…The relative effects of climate warming with grazing on medicinally important plants are not fully understood in Hindukush-Himalaya (HKH) region. Therefore, we combined the indigenous knowledge about culturally important therapeutic plants and climate change with experimental warming (open-top chambers) and manual clipping (simulated grazing effect) and compared the relative difference on aboveground biomass and percent cover of plant species at five alpine meadow sites on an elevation gradient (4696 m-3346 m) from 2016- 2018. …”
