The influence of Japanese colonial architecture on the development of the city of Shenyang in the first half of the 20th century by Ekaterina A. Pugacheva, Anton A. Kim

“…The research question of this work is devoted to the analysis of the main stages of the urban planning structure development and to the city development analysis in the context of political regime changes and the application of various approaches to urban design of various architectural schools. Classical methods of urban analysis (compositional, morphological) were applied, aimed at identifying the main patterns of urban development of the city, which, coupled with the hypothetical-deductive method and mapping, made it possible to create a theoretical model of city development.…”

Biodiesel production from Sesamum indicum L. seed oil: An optimization study by F.A. Dawodu, O.O. Ayodele, T. Bolanle-Ojo

“…Transesterification of Sesamum indicum L. oil was carried with methanol in the presence of sodium methoxide and the parameters affecting the reaction; vegetable oil/methanol molar ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature and time were fully optimized by employing Central Composite Design method (CCD). A quadratic polynomial was developed to predict the response as a function of independent variables and their interactions and only the significant factors affecting the yield were fitted to a second-order response surface reduced 2FI model. …”
