CATALYTIC EFFECTS OF FERROCENE ON BONDING, OPTICAL AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON FILMS DEPOSITED BY MICROWAVE SURFACE-WAVE PLASMA CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION

ADHIKARI, SUDIP; ADHIKARY, SUNIL; UCHIDA, HIDEO; UMENO, … - In: Surface Review and Letters (SRL) 13 (2006) 06, pp. 789-793

This paper reports catalytic effects of ferrocene on bonding, optical and structural properties of diamond-like carbon … films were measured both with and without using ferrocene as a catalyst. The ferrocene content in the DLC was confirmed by X …-ray spectroscopy (XPS) measurement. The optical band gap decreased from 2.7 eV (without ferrocene) to 1.6 eV (with ferrocene). Raman …

Extending the environmental benefits of ethanol–diesel blends through DGE incorporation

Herreros, J.M.; Schroer, K.; Sukjit, E.; Tsolakis, A. - In: Applied Energy 146 (2015) C, pp. 335-343

The research focuses on the potential use of DGE (diethylene glycol diethyl ether), as a high-cetane number oxygenated additive to diesel-like fuels. Apart from evaluating its individual effects an investigation of how DGE can facilitate the use of bio-ethanol in diesel engines was conducted;...

The Effects of New High-Occupancy Vehicle Lanes on Travel and Emissions

Johnston, Robert; Ceerla, Raju - Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS), University … - 1996

Many urban regions in the U.S. are planning to build extensive networks of new high-occupancy 3ehicle (HOV) freeway lanes. Past modelling efforts are reviewed and travel demand simulations by the authors are used to demonstrate that new HOV lanes may increase travel (vehicle-miles) and increase...

World emissions and economic growth: application of non-parametric methods

Tsurumi, Tetsuya; Managi, Shunsuke - In: International Journal of Global Environmental Issues 9 (2009) 1/2, pp. 69-83

The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesises an inverse U-shaped relationship between a measure of environmental pollution and per capita income levels. In this study, we apply non-parametric estimation of local polynomial regression (local quadratic fitting) to allow more flexibility in...
