This paper aims to analyze the effect of human capital on economic growth. Linear regression models with ordinary least squares method have been used for the analysis in which the dependent variable of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita growth is decided according to real price and independent variables for human capital are enrollment rate in different education levels and also literacy r...

A significant contribution to displacement of fossil petroleum utilization can be made through the use of renewable waste and byproduct material for commodity chemical production. One such opportunity is lactose recovered from cheese whey. Several routes for use have been considered. A process involving catalytic hydrolysis of the lactose, catalytic hydrogenation to produce the sugar alcohols, ...

Pipelines carry different types of petroleum products from production areas to long-distance terminals. This paper introduces a novel Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) based on a continuous time representation for scheduling a multi-product pipeline system connecting a unique refinery to several distribution centers where the mid-terminals are able to both inject product into the pipeline...

The title compound, C(10)H(8)BrN, was obtained by slow addition of sodium azide to 8-bromo-1-naphthoic acid, followed by addition of aqueous ammonia. The crude product was crystallized from petroleum ether to give pink crystals. Compared to other 1,8-disubstituted naphthalene compounds, this compound exhibits less strain between the 1 and 8 substituents. Additionally, the NH protons form both i...
