The first aspect is the problem of how to gain a better understanding of the distribution and abundance of gas hydrates in continental slope sediments at the present day. Mark Maslin (University College London) and Nick Langhorne (Office of Naval Research, USA) both emphasized that while the potential distribution of hydrates can be defined, based on the pressure and temperature limits of their...

China has become an increasingly important actor in the Black Sea Region (BSR), and this looks set to continue future. Beijing actively engaged with all of states looked invest largely, but not exclusively, ports infrastructure projects as part its Belt Road Initiative (BRI). This article examines Beijing’s growing influence explores effect will have on region. It be argued that China’s engagem...

The hydrocarbon-based economy is moving at a large pace to decarbonized sustainable bioeconomy based on biorefining all types of secondary carbohydrate-based raw materials. In this work, 50 g L?1 in COD mixture food waste, brine and wastewater derived from biodiesel production facility were used produce organic acids, important building-blocks for biobased industry. High salinity (12–18 L?1), d...

Abstract This special issue of Business Systems Research (SI the BSR) highlights past, current and future perspectives digitalization in teaching economic disciplines. The emphasis has been put on digital competencies, quality e-learning, e-exams, tools, gamification, mobile technologies used process field economics. main focus groups research are teachers students from education at both univer...

This study documents the preferred location and diurnal cycle of extreme convective storms that occur in the tropical band containing the east Pacific Ocean, Central and South America, the Atlantic Ocean, and northern Africa. Data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar show three types of convective-stratiform structures that constitute extreme convective events...

We study the fine-grained complexity of Leader Contributor Reachability (LCR) and Bounded-Stage Reachability (BSR), two variants of the safety verification problem for shared memory concurrent programs. For both problems, the memory is a single variable over a finite data domain. We contribute new verification algorithms and lower bounds based on the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) and kernel...

The present research investigates the associations between holding favorable views of potential Democratic or Republican candidates for the US presidency 2016 and seeing profoundness in bullshit statements. In this contribution, bullshit is used as a technical term which is defined as communicative expression that lacks content, logic, or truth from the perspective of natural science. We used t...
