Abstract The long‐term and frequent sampling of groundwater monitoring networks is common practice for monitoring the concentrations of constituents of potential concern (CoPC) over space and time. Sampling can be a costly and time‐intensive process that also incurs health and safety risks. A redundancy‐based ranking of candidate sampling locations can

Impacts of a global energy crisis on supply chain performance, ripple effects, and viability
Abstract We simulate impacts of a global energy crisis on supply chains (SCs). First, we articulate the specific features that frame a global energy crisis as a unique type of SC large‐scale systemic shocks characterized by a long‐term disruption existence, disruption propagations (i.e., the ripple effect), a combination of immediate and delayed ...

Downsizing and turbocharging is today considered an effective way to get reduced CO2 emissions of automotive gasoline engines. An important aspect to take into account is the turbocharger behaviour under the strong unsteady flow conditions occurring in ...

Estimating National and Foreign Trade Elasticities Using Generalized Transport Costs
ABSTRACT We introduce the definition of two distinct trade elasticities corresponding to imports from regions located in the same country (national elasticities) and foreign regions located in other countries (foreign elasticities). We resort to a three‐tier nested CES utility structure to derive the corresponding demand gravity equations.

The Impact of Autonomous Truck Technology on US Interstate Trade
ABSTRACT Recent advances in autonomous and semi‐autonomous vehicle technologies promise substantial cost savings for goods shipped by truck. In this study, we quantify the impacts of these transport cost reductions on the US interstate trade using a structural gravity model of domestic trade. Based on projected cost savings from the widespread adoption

The U.S. ethanol industry [PDF]
Ethanol is vital to achieving greater American energy independence. It is today's only viable and available fuel that can be substituted for gasoline. Unlike oil, ethanol is renewable-it will never run out.

Study of fuel injection and mixture formation for a gasoline direct injection engine
Future requirements for lower automotive emissions have lead to the development of new internal combustion (IC) engine technologies. Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI), for example, is one of these promising new IC engine concepts.
