The use of hydrogen as a reductant in the smelting industry
Both the smelting of chromite and manganese (Mn) ores consume a significant amount of carbon (C) and electrical energy. The smelting processes contribute to the elevation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere as stable metal oxides are reduced to their metallic states via the removal of oxide atoms via a carbothermic reaction.

Demand Shocks, Export Diversification, and Firm Performance During the Great Trade Collapse
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the impact of external demand shocks from the 2008 to 2009 Great Trade Collapse on the performance of Chinese exporters and examines how export diversification mitigates these effects. Using Chinese Customs data merged with financial data from all listed Chinese firms, we construct firm‐specific demand shocks based on pre ...

Possibilities of the smelting reduction processes (SRP) optimization
With the appearance now of the fi rst real commercial aggregates, SRP will pay an ever-increasing role as the world’s hot metal supplier. Having the corresponding mathematical models and computer programs, it is possible with sufficient trustworthiness to forecast technical and economic parameters of diverse versions of SRP.

Altered photoperiod affects behaviour in a key fish grazer, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada
Abstract The aim of this study is to address experimentally the immediate impacts of an alteration of the photoperiod, simulating an extreme artificial light pollution, on the behaviour and stress of a key grazer fish common in temperate coastal ecosystems in Europe, the thinlip grey mullet, Chelon ramada.

Abstract Successfully overcoming lateral barriers in rivers is crucial for longitudinal fish migration and is influenced mainly by fishway design, environmental variability and/or individual behavioural traits. Although behavioural traits are well studied in many contexts, their role in predicting fishway passage success in the wild remains poorly ...

Abstract In the San Francisco Estuary, non‐native Wakasagi Hypomesus nipponensis hybridize with endemic and endangered Delta Smelt H. transpacificus, and all wild‐caught hybrids have a maternal Wakasagi parent. However, the mechanisms that facilitate or impede hybridization and explain sex‐biased hybrid asymmetry between these two species remain ...

Abstract Drawing on agglomeration theory, embeddedness theory, and the community assembly metaphor, this study examines how regional industrial ecosystems (RIEs) shape firm performance in China's manufacturing sector. Using longitudinal data on 1012 listed manufacturing firms across China between 2008 and 2019, we combine input–output analysis with ...
