Information Linkage between Carbon and Energy Markets: Multiplex Recurrence Network Approach by Hua Xu, Minggang Wang, Weiguo Yang

“…We first construct a multilayer recurrence network of energy and carbon markets, and we define the information linkage coefficient to measure the linkage relationship between the network layers based on the network microstructure. To measure the mutual leading relationship between carbon and energy markets, we construct a time-delay multilayer recurrence network and introduce the time-delay information linkage coefficient to measure the intersystem interaction. …”

Mechanical Characteristics of Hardened Concrete with Different Mineral Admixtures: A Review by Tehmina Ayub, Sadaqat Ullah Khan, Fareed Ahmed Memon

“…The available literature identifies that the addition of mineral admixture as partial replacement of cement improves the microstructure of the concrete (i.e., porosity and pore size distribution) as well as increasing the mechanical characteristics such as drying shrinkage and creep, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity; however, no single document is available in which review and comparison of the influence of the addition of these mineral admixtures on the mechanical characteristics of the hardened pozzolanic concretes are presented. …”

Experimental Study on the Effect of Supercritical CO2 on Mechanical Properties and Fracture Characteristics of Longmaxi Shale by Ran Zhang, Hao Yan, Lin Yang, Kun Liao, Lei Tao

“…The results show that: (1) scCO2 effectively reduced compressive strength of the shale and weakened the anisotropy of shale; (2) scCO2 caused the content of dolomite, calcite, and illite to decrease by 4.7%∼13.5%, respectively; (3) scCO2 produced micropores and microfractures 10 times larger than the original size in the microstructure. These microstructures can help improve the seepage and gathering of shale gas, leading to enhanced shale gas recovery and CO2 storage.…”
