Adopting disruptive technologies for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industrial sectors requires experimentation through demonstration (pilot) projects. However, from an economic perspective, the potential long-term benefits and the difficulties in designing relevant public policies are not...

Heavily Er3+-doped TeO2–BaF2–La2O3–LaF3 (TBLL) glasses with low hydroxyl absorption (αOH−≈0.025cm−1 ) and high glass transition temperatures (Tg437℃) were prepared. The Raman spectra and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves were measured to characterize the structural...

Metallic glass composites (MGCs) inherit the high strength of their glassy matrix and exhibit remarkable plastic deformation, hence have great potential in engineering applications. However, their preparation often relays on arduous component exploration or involves elusive technological...

The influences of Ag and Co additions on the thermal stability and glass-forming abilities of twenty (Cu 46- x Zr 47 Al 7 Ag x ) 100 -y Co y ( x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and y = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5) alloys were systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimeter techniques....

Different concentrations of Ce3+ -doped TeO2-WO3-GeO2-Ce2O3 (TWGCe) glasses were prepared by melt-quenching method and characterized. The spectroscopic and luminescence properties were evaluated using room temperature absorption and emission spectra. The absence of sharp x-ray diffraction peaks...

Chalcogenide glasses containing light alkali and Group 11 (Cu, Ag) halides MY (Y = Cl, Br, I) exhibit high ionic conductivity while their heavy alkali counterparts show promising properties for optical applications. The structural role of metal halides in chalcogenide glass networks remains...

The present study reports the effect of substituting Zr with Sc on the glass forming ability (GFA) and mechanical properties of ZrCuNiAlTi bulk metallic glass (BMG). Results showed that Zr 57- x Cu 20 Ni 8 Al 10 Ti 5 Sc x ( x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 at. %) BMGs had the best GFA at x = 2, and the...

Scholars have attempted to explain geographic clustering in inventive activity by arguing that it is connected with clustering in production or new investment. They have offered three possible reasons for this link: because invention occurs as a result of learning by doing; because new...

"Based on a long-term study of the everyday postsocialist politics of labour in the wider context of intense socio-economic transformation in Bulgaria, this book tells the story of the flexibilization of production, the precaritization of work, shifting managerial practices, and ways in which...

Glass is present in a myriad of products used in both daily life and manufacturing, from beverage containers to windows to fiber optic cables. The demand for glass is projected to continue on an upward trajectory, along with growing pressure on the industry to further reduce energy use and...

In the present work, the release from 15 samples of crystalware was investigated with respect to migration of metals in different conditions from different samples. Three test regimes were compared. The first one, currently in use for ceramic, foresees the use of acetic acid 4% as simulant and...

In May 2013, the European Commission received a mandate from the European Council to “to present an analysis of the composition and drivers of energy prices and costs in Member States, with a particular focus on the impact on households, SMEs and energy intensive industries, and looking more...

This book analyzes of the surplus of production capacity in China. According to a government statement, there is a serious surplus of productive capacity in the steel, cement, glass, aluminum, and shipbuilding industries. There was no surplus of productive capacity in above industries between...

This paper asks whether the service - dominant logic is superior to the traditional goods - dominant logic for the use of licensing to commercialize new technologies internationally – and why so. To answer this question two case of licensing float glass, a float glass manufacturing technology...

The pressed and blown glass and glassware manufacturing industry is an important part of the history and economy of McKean County in Pennsylvania. The industry creates jobs and compensation for workers and generates tax revenues in the County
