Forest certification as a typical green trade measure has been gradually adopted by developed countries. Although it can promote the upgrading of forest products’ trade structure, it also threatens the stability of export growth. However, most...
With the reduction of traditional tariff and non-tariff trade barriers, trade facilitation measures, such as improved port efficiency and the customs environment, have become increasingly important for improving the structure of export growth and exp...
Based on global bilateral six-digit HS code trade data of wood forest products from 2000 to 2022, we constructed a three-dimensional panel dataset combining year, importing country, and exporting country, and used a staggered difference-in-difference...
In this article, we propose a dual-gate dielectric face tunnel field-effect transistor (DGDFTFET) that can exhibit three different output voltage states. Meanwhile, according to the requirements of the ternary operation in the ternary inverter, four...
As two influential countries in the global grain production and marketing system, China and Russia have increasingly strengthened their agricultural, economic, and trade cooperation. There are few papers that have considered trade relations from the...
The export expansion of wood forest products (WFPs) generates substantial socio-economic benefits. Unfortunately, the WFP manufacturing industry frequently experiences challenges in accessing finance and high financing costs. Since profit scramble be...
Ternary complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology has been spotlighted as a promising system to replace conventional binary complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) with supply voltage (VDD) and power scaling limitations. Recently, waf...
To reduce the proliferation of greenhouse gases in the construction industry, ternary blended concrete comprising fly ash (FA) powder, waste glass (WG) powder, and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was developed such that the WG to total binder varied f...
This study aimed to investigate the strength and permeability properties of binary and ternary systems for producing concrete mixes with a cure time of 7, 28, 90, and 180 days under high ambient temperatures (about 35–45 °C). The key variab...
The twin parametric-margin support vector machine (TPMSVM) is an excellent kernel-based nonparallel classifier. However, TPMSVM was originally designed for binary classification, which is unsuitable for real-world multiclass applications. Therefore,...
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA), derived from renewable resources, plays a significant role in the global biodegradable plastic market. However, its widespread adoption faces challenges, including high brittleness, hydrophobicity, limited biodegradability, a...
Composition-dependent interdiffusion coefficients are key parameters in many physical processes. However, finding such coefficients for a system with few components is challenging due to the underdetermination of the governing diffusion equations, th...
The geochemical investigation of shales from the Early to Middle Cretaceous Chichali Formation in the Hazara Basin was conducted to determine the origin, tectonic setting and evolution, paleo-weathering conditions, and paleo-oceanographic reconstruct...
Composite membranes with a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) selective layer composed of well-dispersed hydrophilic kaolinite particles coated on a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) support were developed. They were applied to the pervaporation dehydration of the...
The leaching of chemicals by materials has been integrated into risk management procedures of many sectors where hygiene and safety are important, including food, medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological applications. The approaches focus on dir...
This contribution concerns the development of generic methods and tools for robust optimal control of high-pressure liquid chromatographic separation processes. The proposed methodology exploits a deterministic robust formulation, that employs a line...
The Cretaceous sandstones of the Bredasdorp Basin were investigated to recognize their composition, provenance, and tectonic setting. Ninety-two samples of sandstones from exploration wells E-AH1, E-AJ1, E-BA1, E-BB1, and E-D3 were investigated using...
A mixed-metal ternary chalcogenide, cobalt molybdenum telluride (CMT), has been identified as an efficient tri-functional electrocatalyst for seawater splitting, leading to enhanced oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER),...
Unlike its aerial parts, the underground parts of Mentha have so far been studied only marginally. By examining the polyphenolic fingerprint, the antioxidant efficacy and the mutual antioxidant behaviour of mixtures of mint rhizomes, our study presen...
Occurrence of mycotoxins in staple foods is a major threat to attaining food safety in developing countries. The study investigated multi-mycotoxin contamination for the first time in Nepalese maize along with the incidence of molds in 45 samples of...
The sedimentary rocks of the Madzaringwe Formation in the Tuli Basin have been investigated using geochemical and petrographic methods to reveal their source area composition, tectonic setting, provenance and paleoweathering conditions. The petrograp...
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction into hydrocarbon fuels is one of the most efficient processes since it serves as a renewable energy source while also lowering atmospheric CO2 levels. The development of appropriate materials and technology to attain grea...
An integrated statistical–graphical framework is introduced for designing sustainable cement grout mixes that incorporate polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) for semi-flexible pavement applicat...
Rare earth elements (REEs) and trace elements, due to their relative stability during sedimentary processes, are effective geochemical proxies for sediment provenance. In the Dongdaohaizi Depression of the eastern Junggar Basin, the provenance of the...
Diffusiophoresis is the migration of a colloidal particle in water driven by concentration gradients of cosolutes such as salts. We have experimentally characterized the diffusiophoresis of tyloxapol micelles in the presence of MgSO4, a strong saltin...
Four quaternary Zintl phase thermoelectric (TE) materials belonging to the Ba1-xEuxZn2Sb2 (x = 0.02(1), 0.04(1), 0.08(1), 0.15(1)) system were successfully synthesized using the molten Pb-flux or the conventional high-temperature reaction methods. Th...
Volcanic Scoria Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (VSLAC) has been identified as a material with considerable potential for use in carbon-neutral construction; however, its application is often hindered by two main issues. Firstly, the low density of sc...
