Shocks and Household Debt in South Africa: A Variance Decomposition and GIRF Analysis

Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences, 2013
A crucial boost in the household debt to income ratio was experienced among South African households since the incident of the 2007-2008 US subprime mortgage crisis which later plummeted into the 2008-2009 financial crisis. The key focus of this paper is to investigate how the South African household debt might respond to shocks over a significant time

Feasibility and Limitations of the Advanced Replica Process for Bioactive Glasses

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Periodic 3D‐printed Kelvin‐cell templates enable a controlled advanced replica process for fabricating highly porous glass lattices. Across P45K9, 45S5, and 13–93, material‐dependent differences in coating, burnout, and shrinkage lead to distinct strut morphologies, while comparable final porosities of 83%–88% are retained.

Employee ownership and firm performance: A variance decomposition analysis of European firms

Journal of Business Research, 2017
Abstract Employee ownership is of increasing interest to researchers, policymakers, and firms. Findings on the influence of employee ownership on performance, however, remain mixed, possibly due to differences in institutional/cultural factors, period-effects, between-industry differences, and firm-specific heterogeneity.

Investigating the Low‐Temperature Phase Stability of the Binary Ta–W System

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Atomistic simulations show that the binary Ta–W system forms ordered intermetallic phases, B2‐TaW and D03‐TaW3, as 0 K ground states. Configurational entropy, however, lowers the free energy of the disordered bcc solid solution, which becomes the stable phase above about 400 K.

Cryogenic Deformation Behavior of TiAl and Insights Into Embrittlement After High‐Temperature Exposure Combined With Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy of Near Surface Chemistry

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Near‐surface deuterium enrichment profiles for different microstructural types of TiAl after exposure at 700 °C in a heavy water‐containing environment. The deuterium levels are significantly higher than expected from natural occurrence, indicating that the heavy water dissociated during the exposure treatment and entered the specimens.

The Role of Ultra‐Thin Passive Films and Organic Adsorbates on Aluminum Chips for a Friction‐Induced Solid‐State Recycling Process

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Despite benefits to storage stability and handleability of aluminum scrap, octadecyl phosphonic acid (ODPA) SAMs reduce the tensile strength of wires produced using friction‐induced recycling. Etching and methyl diphosphonic acid (MDPA) coatings, however, have little effect.
