Catalytic Oxidative Coupling of Methane: Heterogeneous or Homogeneous Reaction?

Direct valorization of methane via oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is an encouraging alternative to conventional oil-based processes for the production of light hydrocarbons (ethane and ethylene). Abundant, inexpensive simple oxides such as MgO and La₂O₃ possess the ability to selectively activate methane. However,...

Geographical spatial analysis and risk prediction based on machine learning for maritime traffic accidents: A case study of Fujian sea area

Safety analysis according to the spatial distribution characteristics of maritime traffic accidents is critical to maritime traffic safety management. An accident analysis framework based on the geographic information system (GIS) is proposed to characterize the spatial distribution of maritime traffic accidents occurring in the Fujian sea area...

Driving factors of land surface temperature in urban agglomerations: A case study in the pearl river delta, china

Land surface temperature (LST) in urban agglomerations plays an important role for policymakers in urban planning. The Pearl River Delta (PRD) is one of the regions with the highest urban densities in the world. This study aims to explore the spatial patterns and the dominant drivers of LST in the PRD. MODIS LST (MYD11A2) data from 2005 and...
