Organic alkalis as potential additives in hot water flooding for enhancing heavy oil recovery
Abstract Alkali–surfactant–polymer (ASP) flooding is a chemical enhanced oil recovery method; its working mechanisms include mobility control, wettability alteration, and in‐situ emulsification. However, conventional alkalis used in the ASP flooding could cause some serious issues, including scaling, formation damage, and pipe corrosion. In this study,

Common Trends, Common Cycles, and Price Relationships in the International Fiber Market - Evidence from a Seemingly Unrelated Structural Time Series [PDF]
This study shows that the stochastic process that governs price fluctuations in the international fiber market has transitory and permanent components. The results also indicate structural relationships between cotton price and wool price, wool price and

Analytical Study of Lanolin as Potential Biomarker of Prehistoric Sheep‐Shearing Practice
Lanolin, a complex wax found on sheep wool, accumulates on shearing tools, such as flint and obsidian blades, used since the Neolithic. This study explores lanolin's degradation patterns as a potential biomarker for prehistoric sheep‐shearing practices, employing micro‐Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, and gas ...

Technical Efficiency of Australian Wool Production: Point and Confidence Interval Estimates [PDF]
A balanced panel of data is used to estimate technical efficiency, employing a fixed-effects stochastic frontier specification for wool producers in Australia. Both point estimates and confidence intervals for technical efficiency are reported.

Metamer Mismatching Predicts Color Difference Ellipsoids
ABSTRACT It is well known that color‐discrimination thresholds vary throughout color space, as is easily observed from the familiar MacAdam ellipses plotted in chromaticity space. But why is this the case? Existing formulations of uniform color spaces (e.g., CIELAB, CIECAM02, CAM16‐UCS) and their associated color‐difference DE metrics are all models ...

Support preparation can significantly impact the conversion in plasma catalytic experiments. Herein, two different discharges are studied: a dielectric barrier discharge and a nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharge, with different supports: alumina beads and laboratory‐made alumina monoliths, both loaded with silver.

The synthesis of chemically recyclable polyhexahydrotriazine (PHT) aerogels, using N,N‐dimethyl lactamide, a nontoxic, label‐free solvent, is presented. The PHT aerogels exhibit low bulk density, high porosity, excellent thermal insulation, pronounced thermal stability, and enhanced mechanical performance. Furthermore, PHT aerogels can be depolymerized
