This paper examines the long-term equilibrium between South Africa’s stock index and selected macroeconomic variables using vector error-correction models (VECM). Upon testing for co-integration, long run structural equation ...

This study examined the influence of pyrolysis temperature on biochar characteristics and evaluated its suitability for carbon capture and energy production. Biochar was produced from corn stover using slow pyrolysis at ...

Numerical analysis of hot stamping process is very complex mainly due to thermomechanical processes involved. Many variables such as heat transfer coefficient, density, young modulus and other thermal parameters are ...

Transesterification of waste chicken fat oil into biodiesel using a batch microwave system was investigated in this study. A response surface methodology (RSM) was used to analyze the influence of the process variables in ...

Yaw stability control system plays a significant role in vehicle lateral dynamics in order to improve the vehicle handling and stability performances. However, not many researches have been focused on the transient ...

End milling is a multipoint cutting process in which material is removed from a workpiece by a rotating tool. It is widely used in cutting 2.5D profiles such as point-to-point, contouring, and pocketing operations. 2.5D ...

Many studies investigated cultural differences in values, most notably by Hofstede and Schwarz. Relatively few have focused on virtues, a related and important concept in contemporary social science. The present paper ...

This paper describes the mathematical modeling and control of a nonlinear active suspension system for ride comfort and road handling performance by using multi-body dynamics software so-called CarSim. For ride quality and ...

In the recent years, researchers are focusing to improve the accuracy of speech emotion recognition. Generally, high emotion recognition accuracies were obtained for two-class emotion recognition, but multi-class emotion ...
