The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...

Novel organic solvents with an unmodified carbohydrate core were synthesised both from D‐xylose and directly from biomass and were successfully used as reaction media for lipase biocatalysts to synthesise aliphatic and aromatic polyesters. Abstract The use of organic solvents in academic research and industry applications is facing increasing ...

A Comparison of Alternative Functional Forms For Parametric Estimation of the Lorenz Curve [PDF]
Using U.S. income data, we evaluate several functional forms for the Lorenz curve. On the basis of the goodness of fit, estimated income shares and Gini coefficients, the form proposed by Kakwani (1980) is found to be overall superior to the other forms ...

Isoelectronic Alloying in Zintl Phases Mediated the Avoided Crossing and Phonon Softening
A small amount of Hf doping endows Zr3Ni3Sb4‐Zintl with an unusually low thermal conductivity far exceeding that of similar systems. Two unique phonon mechanisms—avoided crossing and phonon softening—significantly suppress the lattice thermal conductivity. The average thermoelectric figure of merit is improved by 21%.

Consistent Nonparametric Tests for Lorenz Dominance [PDF]
This paper proposes a test for Lorenz dominance. Given independent samples of income or other welfare related variable, we propose a test of the null hypothesis that the Lorenz curve for one population is dominated by the Lorenz curve for a second ...

Under the stepwise optimization strategy, (Sn, Te) co‐alloying functions as the primary initiative to enhance the power factor (PF), while the subsequent incorporation of AgCuTe operates as a synergistic maneuver to suppress lattice thermal conductivity (κlat), thereby concomitantly boosting the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT).

The Impact of Implementing Support Programs on Equitable Income Distribution Among Buffalo Milk Producers in Iraq [PDF]
This study examined the impact of technologies from the United Nations-supported project "Restoring and Strengthening the Resilience of Food Systems" on the equitable distribution of production and income among milk buffalo owners in Iraq. The Lorenz and
