Fischer-Tropsch Diesel Production in a WTW Chain Perspective

We calculated carbon and energy flows in 11 models of FT plants. While uncertainties are substantial, our best- guess estimates indicate that FT diesel is economically competitive, with fuel costs comparable to fossil diesel derived from oil at 34 $/bbl fo ...

Revocation Games in Ephemeral Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi, Maxime Raya

A frequently proposed solution to node misbehavior in mobile ad hoc networks is to use reputation systems. But in ephemeral networks - a new breed of mobile networks where contact times between nodes are short and neighbors change frequently - reputations ...
