La gobernanza regional compleja del comercio electrónico latinoamericano: una perspectiva comparada de la Alianza del Pacífico, la Comunidad Andina y el Mercosur by Julissa Castro-Silva

“…Conclusions: The analysis shows that, within systems characterized by growing institutional density and diversity—such as the Latin American e-commerce environment—regional cooperation can be facilitated when regional trade agreements are embedded in a broader trade regime, where there is a clear sequencing among different agreements, and when orchestrators and policy networks are present. In contrast, their absence leads to ineffective agreement implementation and increased regional fragmentation. …”

Opportunities and Challenges for Pastoral Beef Cattle Production in Ethiopia by Belete Kuraz Abebe, Mulugeta Tesfaye Alemayehu, Sharew Mekonnen Haile

“…The potential for pastoral beef cattle producers in Ethiopia included population growth, urbanization, literacy, and family income, as well as high demand for beef animals in domestic and foreign markets. In contrast, problems with beef cattle production systems, diseases, shortages of feed and water, lack of veterinary services, droughts, lack of market access and infrastructure, illegal animal trades, and poor genetic potential of indigenous cattle are among the limiting factors that hamper efficient beef production in the country. …”

Comparative Investigation on the Properties and Molecular Mechanisms of Natural Phenolic Compounds and Rubber Polymers to Inhibit Oxidative Aging of Asphalt Binders by Fenghua Yang, Zhuang Hu, Hongyi Xi

“…Specifically, catechins block asphalt aging at the chemical level by providing active H atoms to react with O2 and free radicals, thus preventing them from oxidizing asphalt molecules. In contrast, crumb rubber exerts its antiaging properties mainly in physical aspects, firstly by limiting the movement of asphalt molecules to reduce the contact and reaction of asphalt with O2 and secondly by counteracting the aging-induced asphalt hardening through its own degradation, thus partially restoring the mechanical properties of aged asphalt. …”

The relevance of the Dead Sea Scrolls for New Testament interpretation with a bibliographical appendix by J. Frey

“…The interpretative value of Qumran is then demonstrated by two examples: John the Baptist can be interpreted more precisely in contrast with the purification rites and Scripture interpretation of Qumran, and some of the Pauline anthropological terms, especially the notion of sinful flesh, can be seen as influenced by Palestinian Jewish Wisdom traditions. …”

Coherent all Optical Reservoir Computing for Equalization of Impairments in Coherent Fiber Optic Communication Systems by Shiva Kumar, Mahmoud M. T. Maghrabi, Mohamed H. Bakr, Toshihiko Hirooka, Masataka Nakazawa

“…For a dispersion managed long haul FO system in which the nonlinear penalty is dominant, we find that the SESAM outperforms the HNLW due to its larger nonlinear memory. In contrast, for the equalization of dispersive impairments in a short haul FO system such as data center networks, we find that the HNLW has a much superior performance due to its larger linear memory.…”

Theoretical investigation of carbon monoxide oxidation on two-dimensional aluminum carbide by Fatemeh Mamusi, Zahra Zarifnia, Davood Farmanzadeh

“…Adsorption energy analysis revealed that AlC-B exhibits the strongest O2 adsorption energy (–2.633 eV), while AlC-P shows a high affinity for CO2, maintaining an O-C-O angle of 180° post-adsorption. In contrast, pristine AlC demonstrated moderate adsorption energy values, ensuring effective molecular interaction and desorption dynamics. …”

Praising God or singing of love? From theological to erotic allegorisation in the interpretation of Canticles by H. Ausloos

“…Alongside a literal reading of the text, there is also the possibility of an allegorical interpretation, which was often, consciously or otherwise, a reaction against a literal reading of the Bible. Although this contrast between the terms ‘literal’ and ‘allegorical’ appears frequently in the literature on Canticles, the present article argues that this terminology seems to be inadequate for Canticles at any rate: reading Canticles either ‘literally’ or ‘allegorically’ is an expression of a false dilemma with respect to this book. …”
