SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007 From 2004 to 2006, the FOMC raised the target federal funds rate by 4.25 percentage points, yet long-maturity yields and forward rates fell. We consider several possible explanations for this "conundrum." The most likely, in our view, is a fall in the term premium, probably associated with some combination of diminished macroeconomic uncertainty and ...

Methane Cracking for Hydrogen Production: A Review of Catalytic and Molten Media Pyrolysis
Energies, 2021 Currently, hydrogen is mainly generated by steam methane reforming, with significant CO2 emissions, thus exacerbating the greenhouse effect. This environmental concern promotes methane cracking, which represents one of the most promising alternatives for

Fate of Electromagnetic Field on the Cracking of PSR J1614-2230 in Quadratic Regime [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper, we study the cracking of compact object PSR J1614-2230 in quadratic regime with electromagnetic field. For this purpose, we develop a general formalism to determine the cracking of charged compact objects.

Multi-cracks Modeling in Reflective Cracking [PDF]
, 2012 Reflective cracking is a major concern for engineers facing the problem of road maintenance and rehabilitation. The problem appears due to the presence of cracks in the old pavement layers that propagate into the pavement overlay layer when traffic load passes over the cracks and due to the temperature variation. The stress concentration in the overlay

Early-Age Cracking in Concrete: Causes, Consequences, Remedial Measures, and Recommendations
Applied Sciences, 2018 Cracking is a common problem in concrete structures in real-life service conditions. In fact, crack-free concrete structures are very rare to find in real world.
