We use a semiparametric GARCH-in-Mean copula model to examine the price evolution and volatility dynamics of crude oil, natural gas, hydrocarbon gas liquids markets using data from January 2002 December 2021. find that uncertainty has positive statistically significant effect on returns oil but negative ethane returns. also Frank is best describe (bivariate) dependence structures between market...

In recent years, several specific imidazolium-based ionic liquids with halogen substituents on the imidazole ring as well as on the alkyl chains have been reported. In this work, noncovalent interactions in four halogenated ionic liquids, i.e. 2-bromo-/iodo- and 4,5-dibromo-/diiodo-1,3-dimethylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonates, were systematically investigated using density functional theo...

The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. We study possible quantum Uð1Þ spin liquids in three dimensions with time-reversal symmetry. We find a total of seven families of such Uð1Þ spin liquids, distinguished by the properties of their emergent electric or magnetic charges. We show how these spin liquids are related t...

Migration of chemicals from plastic containers into drinks and liquids containing them, is supposed to be a hazardous phenomenon and results in many health problems. Sample preparation is of great importance due to trace amounts analysis of these compounds. In this research, dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction is applied for the extraction and preconcentration of the migrated compounds pri...

This paper addresses the optimal design and planning of biomass-to-liquids (BTL) supply chains under economic and environmental criteria. The supply chain consists of multisite distributed-centralized BTL processing networks. The economic objective is measured by the total annualized cost, and the measure of environmental performance is the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. A bi-criterion, m...

The Luttinger model of the one-dimensional Fermi gas is the cornerstone of modern understanding of interacting electrons in one dimension. In fact, the enormous class of systems whose universal behavior is adiabatically connected to it are now deemed Luttinger liquids. Recently, it has been shown that metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes are almost perfectly described by the Luttinger Hamilt...

Bubble nucleation in weakly supersaturated solutions of carbon dioxide—such as champagne, sparkling wines and carbonated beers—is well understood. Bubbles grow and detach from nucleation sites: gas pockets trapped within hollow cellulose fibres. This mechanism appears not to be active in stout beers that are supersaturated solutions of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. In their canned forms these be...

Mixtures of ionic liquids with organic solvents exhibit a most interesting research area in thermodynamics. The increasing utilization of ionic liquids in chemical processes and separation processes requires reliable and systematic data of thermodynamic and thermophysical properties such as activity coefficients, VLE and LLE data, heats of mixing as well as gas solubility data, densities and tr...

Partition coefficients of 51 organic compounds in two ionic liquids (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide and trimethylhexylammonium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide, were measured using inverse gas chromatography from (322.5 to 352.5) K. These partition coefficients were converted into water-to-IL partition coefficients using the corresponding gas-to-water partition coefficients. Bo...
