The mixture of ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, bmimBF4) and water (2.5%, molar fraction) under isothermal conditions at 80 degrees C was investigated by FTIR spectroscopy and two-dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR) methods. Three regions were focused: the OH stretching band of water (3755-3300 cm (-1)), the stretching band of CH on the imidazole ri...

High-resolution 1.10, 2.05, 2.12, and 2.15 km imaging of the gravitationally lensed system FSC 10214]4724 are presented. These data extend Hubble Space T elescope (HST ) observations of the lens system to redder wavelengths, thus providing the highest resolution images to date of the rest-frame optical and narrow-line (i.e., Ha ] [N II]) regions of the background quasar. The length of the arc i...

Over the last decade, scholars have developed a complexities of place (COP) approach to the study of place and health. According to COP, the problem with conventional research is that it lacks effective theories and methods to model the complexities of communities and so forth, given that places exhibit nine essential ”complex system” characteristics: they are (1) causally complex, (2) self-org...

Abstract Grouped data in the form of income shares have conventionally been used to estimate inequality due lack individual records. We present a systematic evaluation performance parametric distributions and non-parametric techniques economic using more than 3300 sets. also provide guidance on choice between these two approaches their estimation, for which we develop GB2group R package. Our re...

This paper estimates the impact of labor market rigidities on misallocation. To this end, we use a recent policy change in Belgium, leading to an increase employment protection for blue-collar workers and decrease white-collar workers. The wedge between marginal product cost - gap is used as measure Using rich data set universe Belgian firms, evidence shows that firm with 90% experienced after ...
