The Crude Oil Price Influence on the Brazilian Industrial Production
(Scientific Research, 2017-04)
The oil price is a relevant variable for economic policy makers in countries
where this commodity is the main energy source as well as in other countries
where crude oil is not the only energy source. The sudden variations ...
Thermodynamics of CO2 Adsorption on Polyethyleneimine Mesoporous Silica and Activated Carbon
(2017-03)
A thermodynamic study of the enthalpies of adsorption of CO2 was conducted on polyethyleneimine 10k/ mesoporous silica (PEI-10k/MPS) and activated carbon (AC). These materials were chosen because of their high CO2 sorption ...
The Interaction between Public Sector Wage, Inflation and Exchange Rate Volatility in Ghana
(Scientific Research, 2017-03)
Continuous depreciation of the cedi has been in the orbit of concern of policy
makers for time immemorial. This is because, in spite of many policy actions
to restore the continuous depreciation of the cedi amidst wage ...
Integrating Characterization of Smallholders’ Feeding Practices with On-Farm Feeding Trials to Improve Utilization of Crop Residues on Smallholder Farms
(Hindawi, 2017-02)
This study characterized wheat straw feeding practices in smallholder farms using cross sectional survey and the results informed
the design of an experiment to improve the nutritive value ofwheat straw with urea and yeast ...
Strategic Choice of Market Instrument
(Scientific Research, 2017-06)
This paper proposes a model where both regulator and industry behave strategically
to endogenously choose the optimal market instrument. The regulator
payoff function includes political gains from investment in abatement ...
Development of a Qualitative near Infrared Screening Method for Quality Consistency Assessment of Virgin Sunflower Oil
(Scientific Research, 2017-07)
Near infrared spectroscopy offers advantages in the analysis of vegetable oils
such as rapidity, relative cost-effectiveness, and usually no need for sample preparation.
Virgin Sunflower oils were used as reference ...
Left Ventricular Reconstruction and Mitral Valve Annuloplasty Combined with Papillary Muscle Relocation for Severe Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation
(Scientific Research, 2017-12)
A 46-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to severe ischemic mitral
regurgitation with severe bileaflet tethering and a dilated left ventricle. We
performed left ventricular reconstruction and mitral valve ...
Correlation Between Oxidant Concentration and Morphological Properties of Silicon Nanowires Obtained by Silver-Assist Electroless Etching
(2017-03)
In this work, a correlation between oxidant concentration and the morphological changes of silicon nanowires formed by a two-step silver-assist electroless etching method is established. It reveals that a textured silicon ...
Energy Transfer in Triple Semiconductor-Organic Hybrid Structures
(Scientific Research, 2017-01)
With aim to increase set of modern commercial optoelectronic devices we investigate
the optical properties of new triple semiconductor-organics-semiconductor
nanostructure having two semiconductor layers with organic ...
The Impacts of Joint Energy and Output Prices Uncertainties in a Mean-Variance Framework
(Scientific Research, 2017-08)
In this paper, we analyze the impacts of joint energy and output prices uncertainties
on the inputs demands in a mean-variance framework. We find that
the concepts of elasticities and variance vulnerability play important ...
