A comprehensive review of the evolving and cumulative nature of eco-innovation in the chemical industry
Abstract Different bodies of literature have attempted to explain what factors and events drive industries throughout processes of environmental change. The latter is a gradual, historical process of evolution from lower to higher degrees of...

Rapid solubility and mineral storage of CO2 in basalt
Abstract The long-term security of geologic carbon storage is critical to its success and public acceptance. Much of the security risk associated with geological carbon storage stems from its buoyancy. Gaseous and supercritical CO2 are less dense...

Classification of remote sensed data using Artificial Bee Colony algorithm
Abstract The present study employs the traditional swarm intelligence technique in the classification of satellite data since the traditional statistical classification technique shows limited success in classifying remote sensing data. The...

Ambient pressure photoemission spectroscopy of metal surfaces
Abstract We describe a novel photoemission technique utilizing a traditional Kelvin probe as a detector of electrons/atmospheric ions ejected from metallic surfaces (Au, Ag, Cu, Fe, Ni, Ti, Zn, Al) illuminated by a deep ultra-violet (DUV) source...

Characterization of submicron aerosols and effect on visibility during a severe haze-fog episode in Yangtze River Delta, China
Abstract Particle size, composition and optical properties were measured at a regional atmosphere background station in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) to understand the formation and evolution of haze-fog episodes in Jan. 2013. The peak of particle...

Zircon U–Pb age, geochemical, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic constraints on the origin of mafic dykes in the Shaanxi Province, North China Craton, China
Abstract Mafic dolerite dykes form a series of swarms that are widespread across the North China Craton (NCC). We present U–Pb zircon ages, geochemical data, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic data for representative samples of the Shaanxi dolerite dykes in the...

Cash flow forecast for South African firms
Abstract This paper applies models in the extant literature that have been used to forecast operating cash flows to predict the cash flows of South African firms listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Out-of-sample performance is examined for...

A model for the propagation of uncertainty from continuous estimates of tree cover to categorical forest cover and change
Abstract Rigorous monitoring of Earth's terrestrial surface requires mapping estimates of land cover and of their errors in space and time. Estimation of error in land-cover change detection currently relies heavily on external, post hoc...
