Plasmonic CO2 methanation using γ-Al2O3-supported Ru nanorods was carried out under continuous-flow conditions without conventional heating, mildly concentrated sunlight as the sole and sustainable energy source (AM 1.5, irradiance 5.5–14.4 kW·m−2 = suns). Under 12.5 suns, a conversion exceeding 97% achieved with complete selectivity towards CH4 stable production rate (261.9 mmol·gRu−1·h−1) for...

Frame erasure (FE) robustness is an important quality measure for voice over IP networks (VoIP). Recovery of the erased frames from the received information is crucial to realize this robustness. We allow the lost frames to be recovered from both the “previous” and “next” good frames. We first give quantitative distortion comparisons between predictive and interpolative frame recovery. Then we ...

postcolonial feminism is an exploration into the interactions of colonialism with gender, nation, class, race, and sexualities in different contexts of women’s lives. postcolonial feminism or the ‘third world feminism’ originated as a critique of mainstreams in the western feminist theorists, investigating the portrayal of women in the literature and society of the colonized countries as margin...

Need for designing certain important structures to resist blast loads is increasing in the recent past years, due to the enhanced terrorist operations. A bomb explosion can cause very serious damage on the building's external and internal structural frames. Collapse of one structural member in the vicinity of the source of explosion, may then create critical stress redistributions and lead to c...

this paper is a continuation of [uniformities and covering properties for partial frames (i)], in which we make use of the notion of a partial frame, which is a meet-semilattice in which certain designated subsets are required to have joins, and finite meets distribute over these. after presenting there our axiomatization of partial frames, which we call $sels$-frames, we added structure, in th...
