Interplay Between Green Investment and Market Price Premia in Global Shipping

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Existing research emphasises that the driver of green investment is its future profitability. This paper shows that other investors' decisions also influence green investment. We take the example of scrubber installation in shipping, which is optional by regulation but has an established market for trading its underlying asset.

Seismic response of mitigation of sand liquefaction beneath existing buildings using microbial induced desaturation

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a geological disaster that caused extensive damage to buildings, railways, dams. Due to the construction techniques and economic conditions, the subsurface layers of some buildings must be reinforced to resist seismic ...

Effect of in situ amylase and fermented maize starch on texture and after‐cooking storability of lafun dough

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lafun is made by fermenting and drying cassava chunks, which are then milled into flour and cooked into dough. Its quality characteristics are variety‐dependent, while it may become too soft or even liquefy during storage, leading to rejection by end‐users.

Photoresponsive Metallo‐Supramolecular Systems Constructed From a Bidentate Ligand

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Metallosupramolecular polymer organogels based on dynamic metal–ligand (ML) cross‐links are rendered optically responsive by incorporating a photoacid generator. Exposing these systems to UV light releases an acid that protonates the ligands, causing network disassembly and thereby softening.

Hollow cylindrical torsional shear test simulating stress history of sand compaction pile work history

Soils and Foundations
The Sand Compaction Pile (SCP) method is a widely utilized ground improvement technology that enhances the density of the ground by constructing sand piles through penetration and repeated withdrawal/re-driving of a casing pipe.

Elastoplasticity Informed Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks Using Chebyshev Polynomials

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks are predominantly used to develop data‐driven constitutive models for granular materials. They offer a compelling alternative to traditional physics‐based constitutive models in predicting non‐linear responses of these materials, for example, elastoplasticity, under various loading conditions. To attain the

The gas chain: influence of its specificities on the liberalisation process. NBB Working Papers. No. 122, 16 November 2007 [PDF]

, 2007
Like other network industries, the European gas supply industry has been liberalised, along the lines of what has been done in the United Kingdom and the United States, by opening up to competition the upstream and downstream segments of essential ...
