High-Temperature Performance Enhancement of Bitumen by Waste PET-Derived Polyurethane
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 Bitumen performance enhancement through modification by reactive polymers gained significant attention in the road construction industry. Polymeric bitumen additives, such as polyurethane, improve bitumen properties at low and high in-service ...

Impacts of coal smoke on infant mortality: Evidence from industrializing Japan
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the health consequences of coal smoke during Japan's early industrialization. Using fixed‐effects models and a prefecture‐level panel dataset on actual coal consumption and infant mortality from 1899 to 1910, this study finds that higher coal consumption was positively associated with infant mortality.

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fatigue cracking is a major distress limiting asphalt pavement service life, and Paris law–based fracture mechanics offers a more mechanistic understanding than conventional fatigue testing. However, systematic characterization across diverse modifiers, dosages, notch depths, and temperatures remains limited.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although the global expansion of oxygen‐depleted marine environments during the Early Toarcian Jenkyns Event (or Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event) is primarily inferred from successions in the NW European epicontinental basins, the timing of the expansion of anoxia in Tethyan basins, where hydrography potentially played a minor role, is poorly ...

Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Thin, discontinuous, organic‐rich oil shale beds in the siliciclastic‐evaporitic Salt Range Formation (SRF) of Pakistan are of approximate Neoproterozoic to Cambrian age based on stratigraphic constraints. The beds are enriched (26–43 wt.% total organic carbon, TOC) in aliphatic organic matter (OM) of low thermal maturity despite their ...

Influence of rejuvenators on bitumen ageing in hot recycled asphalt mixtures
Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2018 The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new hot mix asphalt (HMA) by means of hot recycling techniques generates the advantage linked to the exploitation of both lytic and bituminous component, consequently leading to the decrease of both virgin ...
