Structure and surface modification of electrocatalysts demonstrates a promising lead for achieving excellent electrocatalytic activity efficiency. Among various strategies, nonthermal plasma technique possesses an irreplaceable role due to the merits simple but controllable operation procedure, low pollution, cost, easy scale‐up practical applications. Nonthermal treatment, as powerful tool mat...

Employee portals are systems that provide employees with the timely and relevant information that they need to perform their duties and to make efficient business decisions. Although their use is widespread, the question on how benefits of these portals are materialized for their users has not been fully answered yet. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to gain a better understanding of the util...

The feasibility of using railroad flatcars (RRFCs) as the superstructure for bridges on lowvolume roads has been investigated in two previous research projects at Iowa State University. The results of these projects verified that RRFCs are efficient and economical alternatives for low-volume road bridges. Two county engineers involved with the RRFC project cited cost as the main factor for choo...

This paper builds a structural VARMA (SVARMA) model for investigating Canadian monetary policy. Despite the support for a VARMA model for monetary policy analysis, the traditional VAR and SVAR models have predominantly been used in the literature mainly due to difficulties associated with the identification and estimation of such a model. Using the scalar component model (SCM) proposed by Athan...
