While low-cost natural gas remains abundant, the energy content of this fuel can be utilized without greenhouse emissions through production molecular hydrogen and solid carbon via methane pyrolysis. In absence a tax, pyrolysis is not economically competitive with current methods unless byproducts valorized. work, we assess viability byproduct produced from in molten salts as high-value-added a...

A novel MILP model for plantwide multiperiod optimization of byproduct gas supply system in the ironand steel-making process is proposed. Compared with the previous optimization model, proposed approach simultaneously optimizes the byproduct gasholder levels and gas distribution among con icting objectives. Both integer and continuous variables are used in determining the optimal fuel load cha...

UNTIL RECENTLY, EXPERIMENTS ON PERSON PERCEPTION HAD LED TO TWO UNWELCOME CONCLUSIONS: (1) people encode the race of each individual they encounter, and (2) race encoding is caused by computational mechanisms whose operation is automatic and mandatory. Evolutionary analyses rule out the hypothesis that the brain mechanisms that cause race encoding evolved for that purpose. Consequently, race en...

Byproduct utilization is an important consideration in the development of sustainable processes. Whey protein isolate (WPI), a byproduct of the cheese industry, and gelatin, a byproduct of the leather industry, were reacted individually and in blends with microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) at pH 7.5 and 45 degrees C. When a WPI (10% w/w) solution was treated with mTGase (10 U/g) under reducing...

Research indicates that moral violations are judged less wrong when the violation results from omission as opposed to commission, and when the violation is a byproduct as opposed to a means to an end. Previous work examined these effects mainly for violent offenses such as killing. Here we investigate the generality of these effects across a range of moral violations including sexuality, food, ...
