I use ADRs to examine if the equity markets of Argentina, Chile, and Mexico have become internationally integrated in the post-liberalization period and, if not, whether direct and/or indirect barriers are the cause of segmentation. In addition, I assess the evolution of the level of integration over time to determine if these markets are converging to or diverging from integration. I find that...

 As the number of independent countries increases and their economies become more integrated, we would expect to observe more multi-country currency :::union:::s. This paper explores the pros and cons for different countries to adopt as an anchor the US Dollar, the Euro or the Yen. In addition, it addresses the question of how co-movement of outputs and prices would respond to the formation of ...

H-ZSM5, Zn/H-ZSM5, and Co/H-ZSM5 catalyze thiophene desulfurization with high H2S selectivity using propane as the exclusive hydrogen source. Desulfurization rates and selectivities were much higher than at the H2 concentrations present during propane reactions. Zn+2 and Co+2 cations at exchange sites increased desulfurization rates. On H-ZSM5, desulfurization rates and selectivities with propa...

BACKGROUND Syngas fermentation, the bioconversion of CO, CO2, and H2 to biofuels and chemicals, has undergone considerable optimization for industrial applications. Even more, full-scale plants for ethanol production from syngas fermentation by pure cultures are being built worldwide. The composition of syngas depends on the feedstock gasified and the gasification conditions. However, it remain...

The photochemical reaction of Ru2(S2C3H6)(CO)4(PCy3)2 (1) and H2 gives the dihydride Ru2(S2C3H6)(mu-H)(H)(CO)3(PCy3)2 (2). NMR and crystallographic studies reveal mutually trans basal phosphine ligands and both bridging and terminal hydrides. Ru2(S2C2H4)(CO)4(PCy3)2 behaves similarly. Other HX substrates undergo photoaddition to 1, affording Ru2(S2C3H6)(mu-H)(X)(CO)3(PCy3)2 for X = OTs (3a), Cl...

As information integration based on multiple modal has to problems like complexity calculation process and low classification accuracy towards network video classification algorithm, came up with a network video online semi-supervised classification algorithm based on multiple view co-training. According to extract the features in text view and visual view, to the feature vector in each view, u...

In design of anaerobic bioreactor, rate equation is commonly used. Mathematical model was developed at steady state condition, to project concentration of gaseous substrate and product in biological oxidation of carbon monoxide with water to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The concept of bioconversion was based on transport of CO from gas phase to liquid phase, as the CO consumption was in...

On reaction of IrI(CO)(PPh3)21 with para-hydrogen (p-H2), Ir(H)2I(CO)(PPh3)22 is formed which exhibits strongly enhanced 1H NMR signals for its hydride resonances. Complex 2 also shows similar enhancement of its NMR spectra when it is irradiated under p-H2. We report the use of this photochemical reactivity to measure the kinetics of H2 addition by laser-synchronized reactions in conjunction wi...
