"Currently, different technologies are being employed to remove CO2 and H2S from the natural gas. Based on chemical phenomenon, the absorption using alkanolamines is probably the most extended process for the acid gas re...

"Process modeling forms a core activity in many organizations in which different entities and stakeholders interact for smooth operation and management of enterprises. There have been few work on semantically labeling ...

In an earlier attempt to explain the observed excess in the IR flux of Be stars, we have analyzed the dielectronic recombination (DR) of Mg II in stellar envelopes and the influence of this atomic process on the stellar ...

This work proposal, addresses the problem of the limited capacity of local governments and corporations to generate value and improve their competitiveness through sustainable innovation. This is due to a lack of strateg...

The recent proliferation of scholarship on collective action frames and framing processes in relation to social movements indicates that framing processes have come to be regarded, alongside resource mobilization and pol...

We propose a distributed solution for the group mutual exclusion problem based on priorities, in a network with no share memory whose members only communicate by messages. The proposed algorithm is composed by two player...

The thermodynamic functions Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy for the dissolution and mixing processes of triclosan (TS) in water are presented. These quantities were calculated by means of the van't Hoff and Gibbs equa...

Knowledge is a broad and abstract notion that has defined epistemological debate in western philosophy since the classical Greek era. In the past few years, however, there has been a growing interest in treating knowledg...

Past work has documented and described major patterns of adaptive and maladaptive behavior: the mastery-oriented and the helpless patterns. In this article, we present a research-based model that accounts for these patte...

Traditional econometric models assume a constant one-period forecast variance. To generalize this implausible assumption, a new class of stochastic processes called autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (ARCH) proce...

At high concentrations, free radicals and radical-derived, nonradical reactive species are hazardous for living organisms and damage all major cellular constituents. At moderate concentrations, however, nitric oxide (NO)...

How people intentionally change addictive behaviors with and without treatment is not well understood by behavioral scientists. This article summarizes research on self-initiated and professionally facilitated change of ...

BACKGROUND: Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses are highly valuable in deciphering and understanding the intricate organisation of cellular functions. Nevertheless, the majority of available protein-protei...
