Purpose: This paper aims to evaluate the relationship between financial inclusion and economic development in Pakistan based on available sources of detailed data and assess its outcome of financial inclusion on basic standards of life, then accord relevant recommendations to prompt economic...

Hydrogen production from ethanol by non-thermal arc discharge was investigated in a novel miniaturized plasma reactor. It is observed that ethanol–water mixture was converted into hydrogen, carbon monoxide and other products. The V–I characteristic was recorded by an oscilloscope to study...

The influence of fractal heterogeneity on a spiral wave in an excitable system is numerically studied based on the Barkley model. The heterogeneity is implemented by letting the diffusive coefficient in the heterogeneous area be different from the other area. The results show that fruitful...

MXenes with outstanding electric conductivity and surface chemistry are promising materials for future energy storage. However, processing MXenes into free-standing films can lead to restacking and aggregation of the 2D nanosheets, which limits the ionic kinetics within materials. Current...

The Young's moduli of electrodeposited Ni with different dimensions were measured carefully in this paper. The dimensions of tensile specimens were 200, 35, or 5 μm thick and 2400, 200 or 50 μm wide. These specimens were measured with three different approaches. The measured Young's moduli of...
