TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used MCM-41 calcined at the lowest temperature (550°C) to obtain a styrene oxide with moderate enantioselectivity, in the range of 55-62% e.g.
Abstract: Ti sites grafted on MCM-41, pretreated at different temperatures, have been modified with chiral tartrates, leading to different species. Those solids are active catalyst for the epoxidation of styrene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide, although their efficiency is not optimal, mainly due to the subsequent epoxide rearrangement to phenyl acetaldehyde and further oxidation of it. Styrene oxide is obtained with moderate enantioselectivity, in the range of 55–62% e.e., and the best overall results correspond to the use of MCM-41 calcined at the lowest temperature (550 °C). These results are much better with regard to styrene oxide selectivity than those obtained in homogeneous phase under the same conditions, whereas enantioselectivity is similar. The heterogeneous catalysts are recoverable, but only partially due to a loss in activity, although enantioselectivity is kept at similar levels, demonstrating the stability of the supported Ti-tartrate species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the competitive conditions and the market power of the conventional and Islamic banks during the period 2004-2009 in MENA and Southeast Asia region, using a variety of structural and non-structural measures related to the traditional approach and the new empirical approach of the industrial organization.
Abstract: Purpose – The expansion of the Islamic banking industry seems to accentuate the banking competition in MENA and Southeast Asia where conventional and Islamic banks coexist. In this context, the research aims\ to examine the competitive conditions and the market power of the conventional and Islamic banks during the period 2004-2009 in MENA and Southeast Asia region. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use a variety of structural and non-structural measures related to the traditional approach and the new empirical approach of the industrial organization. The methodology is based on set of measures of the competition and market power. The first measure is a set of concentration ratios (C3, C5) and Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI). The second measures are the Panzar and Ross H statistic and the Lerner index based on econometric estimations with the aim of evaluating the structure of market and measuring its power in terms of price setting. Findings – The results indicate that under the HHI index, both ...

TL;DR: In this article, a new approach for current sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives is presented, which does not need any information about the PMSM or inverter models and involves low tuning efforts, that make it suitable for real-time implementation with good reliability.
Abstract: A new approach for current sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives is presented. Contrary to the classical approaches for sensors fault diagnosis, based on residual generation through observers or parity equations, the proposed technique uses the average normalised machine-phase currents. The main advantages of this approach are that it does not need any information about the PMSM or inverter models, and it involves low tuning efforts, that make it suitable for real-time implementation with good reliability. The good performance and the robustness of the proposed FDI approach are illustrated through experimental results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the power law properties of 11 US credit and stock markets at the industry level were examined using MF-DFA and multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis to evaluate the mutual interdependence between CDS-equity market pairs.
Abstract: This study examines the power law properties of 11 US credit and stock markets at the industry level. We use multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) and multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MF-DXA) to first investigate the relative efficiency of credit and stock markets and then evaluate the mutual interdependence between CDS-equity market pairs. The scaling exponents of the MF-DFA approach suggest that CDS markets are relatively more inefficient than their equity counterparts. However, Banks and Financial credit markets are relatively more efficient. Basic Materials (both CDS and equity indices) is the most inefficient sector of the US economy. The cross-correlation exponents obtained through MF-DXA also suggest that the relationship of the CDS and equity sectors within and across markets is multifractal for all pairs. Within the CDS market, Basic Materials is the most dependent sector, whereas equity market sectors can be divided into two distinct groups based on interdependence. The pair-wise dependence between Basic Materials sector CDSs and the equity index is also the highest. The degree of cross-correlation shows that the sectoral pairs of CDS and equity markets belong to a persistent cross-correlated series within selected time intervals.
