Purpose: The paper investigates the effect of winning performance streaks (the hot hand) and losing performance streaks (the cold hand) on future performance. Performance streaks have many implications in business settings, such as selecting stocks, hedge fund performance, employee performance,...

Collecting ideas through crowdsourcing has become a common practice for companies to benefit from external ideas and innovate. It is desirable that crowd members build on each other's ideas to achieve synergy. This study proposes and verifies a new method for idea combination which can result in...

Influence of the uncertainty of ionization chamber sensitivity on the core power control system of small PWR is studied. Firstly, the model of each link in the core power control system is established. Then, a fuzzy PID controller with simulated annealing algorithm is designed to control small...

The influence of refractory additions on tensile deformation behavior has been studied at an intermediate temperature (760°C) using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Tensile experiments revealed that elemental additions of tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), and rhenium (Re) could improve...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are unstable substances that are essential for the proper functioning of life. The negative impact of inflammation on human health is severe, with sites of inflammation often associated with hypoxia and high-ROS, so how ROS is regulated is important for controlling...
