China has been experiencing urbanization at an unprecedented rate over the last two decades. This study analyzes the impact of urbanization on land occupation. Cities are clustered by their functions and development stages, which is illustrated by a cluster tree, a dynamic tree that depicts the...

In recent years, inhibition of photoinduced electron and hole recombination is considered as a breakthrough to improve the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. In this study, we successfully loaded ZnFe 2 O 4 (ZFO) microsphere onto BiFeO 3 (BFO) microcubes by a simple hydrothermal method....

Thermochemical energy storage is a promising approach in thermal energy storage because of its advantages in high heat storage density, low heat loss and long period stability. The hydrated salt is a commonly used material in low temperature heat storage. In this study, the preparation of MgCl2...

In this study, a triangular honeycomb reactor using zeolite 13X-H 2 O working pairs is developed to investigate the reactor thermal performance. Also, a three-dimensional transient heat and mass transfer model has been used to predict the adsorption and desorption processes occurring in the open...

Reference control points (RCPs) used in establishing the regression model in the registration or geometric correction of remote sensing images are generally assumed to be ?perfect?. That is, the RCPs, as explanatory variables in the regression equation, are accurate and the coordinates of their...

The emergence of the sharing economy has affected consumers and traditional manufacturers. We focus on product sharing and analyze its impacts on the manufacturer that offers sequential innovation products. We develop a two-period model in which a monopoly manufacturer sells an old product and...

An aggressively scaled triple self-aligned split-gate floating-gate (FG) NOR-type dual-bit/cell (NORD) flash cell with a common select-gate (SG) was fabricated at 55-nm node technology. Both FG- and SG-length, for the first time, were scaled down to sub-80 nm and sub-60 nm in our NORD flash,...

Electric unmanned vessels (EUVs) are a necessary part of a zero-carbon future of marine transport. There is significant knowledge of driverless technology on the one hand and on electric power on the other. However, less is known of dynamic evolution of core technologies of EUVs and future...
