What to Make and How to Make It: Combining Machine Learning and Statistical Learning to Design New Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Combining machine learning and probabilistic statistical learning is a powerful way to discover and design new materials. A variety of machine learning approaches can be used to identify promising candidates for target applications, and causal inference can help identify potential ways to make them a reality.

Exergy and Economic Analysis of Hybrid Mechanical Vapor Compression and Membrane Distillation

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybridization of two or more desalination processes has been identified as an attractive option for improved energy efficiency and recovery rate. To appropriately assess the performance enhancement of hybrid desalination systems, an integrated approach for energy, exergy, economic, and environmental investigations should be adopted. This study

Energy‐Efficient and Sustainable Design Optimization for Ternary Mixture Separation: A Comparative Analysis of Sequential Iterative Optimization and Non‐Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of two optimization approaches: Sequential Iterative Optimization (SIO) and Non‐dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA‐II) applied to the separation of ternary mixtures (1‐butanol, isobutanol, and 2‐butanol) using Dual‐Column Distillation (DCD) and Dividing‐Wall Column (DWC) processes. Through a

The Welfare Implications of Growth Regressions [PDF]

open access: yes
Regressions relating the growth rate in income to initial income have been the source of much recent debate in growth economics. Recent research has emphasised the importance of allowing for non- linearities in these models when explaining the evolution ...

Sustainable and cost‐effective process design for energy‐self‐sufficient ethyl lactate production from sugar mill feedstocks: a techno‐economic approach

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Bio‐based ethyl lactate (EL) can replace several fossil‐derived products owing to its low toxicity, high solvent functionality, and environmental advantages. This study assesses the techno‐economic viability and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction potential of producing EL from sugarcane A‐molasses and lignocelluloses in an energy self‐sufficient ...

Market potential of biobased chemicals: a qualitative network analysis of adoption dynamics in South Africa’s bioeconomy

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The premise of a bioeconomy is the replacement of nonrenewable and unsustainable fossil‐derived resources and associated technologies with more sustainable alternatives. The adoption of biobased chemicals contributes toward the growth of a bioeconomy and is dependent on market and industry requirements.

CONVERGENCE THEORY AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A "THIRD WAY"

open access: yesActa Economica, 2010
The twentieth century is characterized by competition between two economic and political systems: the capitalist and socialist. It is not difficult to conclude that both systems have as their good, and bad sides.
