Valorization of Refinery Sulfur in Asphalt and Its Environmental and Health Implications
Abstract With the spread of hydrodesulfurisation in petroleum refining and increasingly strict regulations on the sulphur content of transport fuel, especially marine fuel, a global surplus of elemental sulphur has gradually appeared. There is now a surplus that will be used to i...

A ParallelogramTetranickel Complex with a Short Ni–NiBond Supported by a Pentadentate N-Ligand
Abstract Metal–metal bonded complexes feature unique intermetallic synergy enabling small-molecule activation and organic transformations. Using a pentadentate N-ligand, a dinickel paddlewheel complex is obtained from NiCl2, while a tetranickel complex with a short Ni–Ni bond in...

Dynamic connectedness between commodity markets and investor sentiment in “ESG” labeled funds
Abstract This study explores the dynamic interactions between price shocks to commodity markets and investor demand, proxied by fund flows, in environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-labeled global equity and bond funds. By focusing on labeled funds, the analysis isolates the...

Generalizing reduced rank extrapolation to low-rank matrix sequences
Abstract Reduced rank extrapolation (RRE) is an acceleration method typically used to accelerate the iterative solution of nonlinear systems of equations using a fixed-point process. In this context, the iterates are vectors generated from a fixed-point mapping function. However,...
