Spatial-temporal pattern of cultivated land productivity based on net primary productivity and analysis of influencing factors in the Songhua River basin by Yang, Shiliang

“…The results showed that: (1) the area of cultivated land in SRB decreased, but NPP of cultivated land area increased, during 2000-2020; (2) spatially, NPP was relatively low in the middle of the basin and gradually increased towards the periphery; (3) The main positive factors were the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), slope, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and total nitrogen, while the main negative factors were temperature, Ratio Vegetation Index, and total phosphorus. …”

Locations of Temporary Distribution Facilities for Emergency Response Planning by Pradhananga, Rojee

“…In such a case, distribution of resources through a number of temporary facilities, located near the demand centers can significantly improve the distribution process thereby decreasing the supply response time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a network flow model for emergency response planning which provides location and allocation plans of temporary distribution facilities for short distribution periods in the planning horizon. …”

Synthesis of silica supported ni and cu catalyst for carbon dioxide methanation reaction by Aheed, Ahmed

“…In addition, the used catalysts after the reaction were characterized using similar techniques to evaluate the effect of reaction conditions on active phase and SiO2 support. The 1%Ni on SiO2 catalyst shows good activity for CO2 conversion to CH4 till 450ºC, thereafter CH4 formation decreased and CO increased and remains the only product at 650ºC. …”
