Environmental regulation as a determinant of trade: an empirical investigation of the "Pollution Haven Hypothesis" in the context of international trade by Ellis Brown, Rupert

“…These results conform to predictions made under the "Pollution Haven Hypothesis" and the notion of "Carbon Leakage", reiterating the importance of incorporating these issues to some extent in the formulation of future trade and climate policy.…”

Numerical simulation of the plastics injection moulding process by De Kock, Willem Johan

“…The following conclusions were made as a consequence of this study: Numerical models to simulate the injection moulding process can be simplified and the computer time required to solve these models can be reduced by using the Hele-Shaw formulation instead of solving the full Navier-Stokes equations. …”

Characterization of palm olein (oil) as base oil for biolubricant production by Ugye, Rachel Serumun

“…Comparison of the crude palm oil and the bleached samples with the conventional lubricants Mobil Super SAE20W40 and Mobil gear oil SAE75W90 was made. Finally, it was observed that the crude palm oil and the bleached sample exhibit good lubricating characteristics to be used as base oils for formulation of bio-lubricants. …”

Elastic Mesh Deformation for Internal Flows with Moving Boundaries by Mohammed, Ali Alaa Abdelkareem Awad

“…As such a tank with a flexible internal beam serves as the tested case employed in this work. As such a computer code was developed and the elastic deformation was implemented via the Finite Element Galerkin method with two methods to control the element's distortion near the moving boundaries, Jacobian-based stiffening modification and the distance criterion method. …”
