For this study, the researchers conducted a systematic literature review to answer complex questions about the field of blockchain technology. We used an unbiased systematic review process to find works on blockchain-based applications and developed a Python code that searched various online databases. This paper provides an overview of the characteristics, mode of operation, and applications of blockchains in various domains such as transportation, commerce and industry, privacy and security, the financial sector, government, education, healthcare, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The aim was to identify the key research themes addressed in existing articles within each application domain and suggest future research directions for these domains. We analyzed a set of 750 articles published between 2015 and 2021 that dealt with blockchain applications. We found that financial management and security issues have been the main research focus since 2015. However, the use of blockchain in education has become a central research theme in 2021. Healthcare, IoT, and government applications have also grown in popularity. We furthermore analyzed some of the implementations of privacy mechanisms, as well as the challenges and future directions that need to be addressed for effective blockchain deployment. This study contributes to existing research by providing a comprehensive overview of blockchain application themes and their emerging areas for stakeholders in diverse sectors.

“…Additionally, the temperature is expected to rise to 1.5˚C by 2050 with the current rate of change that is occurring (Arora, 2019;Taskinsoy, 2019). Increases in temperature and precipitation have caused an increase in extreme events such as oods, droughts, irregular patterns of precipitation, heat waves etc.…”

The potential impacts of climate change and sugar cane production is well documented in the literature but majority of the studies have focused on models that look at national level impacts. This paper presents a global impact model on sugar cane production due to variations in temperature and rainfall with the intention to observe the collective challenges that sugar cane production is facing with across the world. The study conducted a trend analysis with time series data for sugar cane production, productivity per hectare of sugar cane lands, annual temperature and annual rainfall recorded for the top sugar cane exporters across the world. The study also developed a panel regression model to empirically establish the relationship between production levels and temperature and rainfall. The findings of the study showed that production levels are increasing in some countries while declining in others. Cyclical patterns of production was also observed that seem to vary with cyclical patterns of rainfall. The regression model showed a positive relationship between production and rainfall and a negative relationship between production and temperature. The main conclusion drawn is that as global temperatures continue to increase, then there will be a global decline in the sugarcane industry. This global model for sugar cane and climate change is geared towards showing the collective impacts of climate change experienced by different countries and to encourage from an empirical standpoint, more collective policy actions to protect the industry as a global market.

“…Among HFC refrigerants, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, also known as R-134a (CH 2 FCF 3 ), has been extensively used in mobile air-conditioning because of its desirable thermodynamic and transport properties, for example, suitable boiling temperature, low critical temperature and pressure, low viscosity and surface tension, and compatibility with lubricants. However, R-134a was identified as a controlled greenhouse gas according to the Kyoto protocol because of its high GWP (100-year) of 1450 relative to CO 2 (GWP = 1). − …”

To support the phaseout of high global warming potential working fluids commonly used in air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, detailed knowledge about the thermodynamic and transport properties of replacements, for example, hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), in lubricant oils is required. In this context, isothermal experimental vapor–liquid equilibrium (PTx) and diffusivity measurements for 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf) and trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze (E)) in a synthetic polyol ester lubricant (ISO VG 32) were performed using a gravimetric microbalance over a temperature range from 248.15 to 348.15 K and pressures of up to 0.6 MPa. A nonrandom two liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model was applied to correlate the measured solubility for each HFO/lubricant mixture. The diffusivities of R-1234yf and R-1234ze (E) in ISO VG 32 oil were determined from time-dependent absorption data based on a one-dimensional diffusion equation. The calculated diffusivities ranged from 10–12 to 10–10 m2·s–1 and were dependent on temperature and refrigerant composition.
