A Farewell to King Coal: Geopolitics, Energy Security, and the Transition to Oil, 1898–1917
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2019)
Interest in energy transitions has accelerated in recent years due to rising concerns about global warming and resource scarcity but the drivers of these phenomena are not well understood. To date scholars have primarily ...
Civilizational futures: Clashes or alternative visions in the age of globalization?
(Elsevier Science, 2010)
This article underlines the existing similarities between Samuel Huntington's civilizational approach hypothesis and the fundamentals of political Islam. The similarity pertains to the argument related to the gradual ...
Particle Size Effect on the Film-Forming Process of PS/PBA Composite Latexes
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2010)
In this work the effect of hard particle size and blend ratio on the film formation behavior of hard polystyrene (PS) and soft poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PBA) latex blends was studied by means of steady-state fluorescence and ...
Comparison of cation effects on phase transitions of kappa and iota carrageenan
(European Polymer Federation, 2010)
Phase transitions of kappa and iota carrageenan in KCl NaCl and CaCl2 solutions were separately studied during heating and cooling processes by using fluorescence technique. Scattered light I-SC and fluorescence intensity ...
Maximally random discrete-spin systems with symmetric and asymmetric interactions and maximally degenerate ordering
(Amer Physical Soc., 2018)
Discrete-spin systems with maximally random nearest-neighbor interactions that can be symmetric or asymmetric ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic including off-diagonal disorder are studied for the number of states q = 34 ...
Film Formation of Nano-Sized Hard Latex (PS) in Soft Polymer Matrix (PBA): An Excimer Study
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2010)
This work reports steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique for studying film formation from pyrene (P)labeled nano-sized polystyrene (PS) and poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PBA) hard/soft latex blends. Blend films were prepared ...
Working-Class Hero: Michael Moore's Authorial Voice and Persona
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
[Abstract Not Available]
Super-orthogonal trellis-coded spatial modulation
(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2012)
Spatial modulation (SM) which employs the indices of multiple transmit antennas to transmit information in addition to the conventional M-ary signal constellations is a novel transmission technique that has been proposed ...
Dirty White Candles: Ernest Hemingway's Encounter with the east
(Univ Texas Press, 2012)

Fractal Features and Structural Morphological Optical Characteristics of Sol-Gel Derived Silica Nanoparticled Thin Films
(Polish Acad Sciences Inst Physics, 2018)
Nanostructured silica films using a simple and effective sol-gel spin coating technique were synthesized and the influence of ammonia/sol ratios on the particle size and thickness of this film was investigated. In addition ...
