Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of a Letter of Map Amendment on Floodplain Property ValueJames E. LarsenSubstantial empirical evidence indicates properties across the United States that are located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) sell at a discount compared to similar properties otherwise located. This result is also true in our sample. Researchers have suggested the price discount equals a combination of the present value of the required flood insurance premiums and the value of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 14 Aug 2012 · 6,894 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Bio-Oil: A By-Product from Slow Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesK. H. Khor, K. O. Lim, Z. A. ZainalProblem statement: Oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are abundant biomass in Malaysia. Studies about production of biofuels using slow pyrolysis of EFB are still lacking. So, this study was aimed to understand the physical and chemical properties of the bio-oil and its simple blends. Approach: EFB was slow pyrolysed with internal heating at terminal temperature of 600°C in a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVolume 3: SGAMR is Always on Track!Chiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Flavio StochinoThe year 2019 represents a new growing step for SGAMR, that starts to publish “continuously” all the accepted papers, once they are subjected to positive, blinded peer-review process. This is a further effort to improve the service for the contributors and for the readers, given that the efficiency of the journal to share knowledge can be maximized.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Temperature Dependency of Laminated Glass Subjected to Blast Load – A Numerical StudyMatthias FörchThe behavior of laminated glass has strong time-temperature dependency. Viscoelastic material models are often employed to define mechanical properties of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB), the most common interlayer for structural glass applications. However, it is an apparent notion to simplify the high complexity of such material models, as only specific software is capable of considering this behavior. Most studies in blast … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2020 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Changes in Opened Sufu Bottles During Storage with Mathematical ModelJingJing Liang, Dawei Li, Ruiqin Shi et al.Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a type of nonlinear empirical model, which can clarify the complex relation between the inputs and outputs that allows it to approximate any nonlinear function for making predictions. The objective of this study is to monitor the Biogenic Amines (BAs) content and selected physicochemical properties of sufu (a traditional Chinese fermented soybean product) along time. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 12 Dec 2018 · 9,353 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractNew Opportunities for Fullerenes and for GrapheneClive DelmonteThis is a conjecture which defines a new class of electrically conducting polymer that chemically confines metals, ions or clusters within an electric potential constraining them to react in ways novel to chemistry. The polymers are planar on a planar surface and adhere as a П-bonded electron sheet to planar, electron-delocalized surfaces as in Fullerenes, graphene (both sides) and graphite. … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 1 Jan 2016 · 13,958 accessesView PDFCite
