This thesis develops a new Bayesian approach to structural break modeling. The focuses of the approach are the modeling of in-sample structural breaks and forecasting time series allowing out-of-sample breaks. Our model has some desirable features. First, the number of regimes is not fixed and...

Non-fullerene small molecule acceptor (NF-SMAs) such as Y6 derivatives were the current working horse for the top performing polymer solar cells (PSCs). For this reason, numerous chemical modifications have been explored for establishing structural-property-performance relationship for Y6-based...

Agricultural environmental pollution emergencies have become a hot research topic because of the high incidence and influence depth. This paper introduces classification and features of agricultural environmental pollution emergencies: by pollutant type, it falls into organic pollution...

We apply a two-wave nationwide correspondence experiment to assess the effects of the two-child and three-child policies on employment discrimination against women in China’s labor market. Using 13,751 observations collected through this experiment, we find that the announcement of the...

Natural siderite (FeCO3 ), simulated synthetic siderite and nZVI/FeCO3 composite were used as green and easily available iron-based catalysts in peroxydisulfate activation for remediating 2-chlorophenol as the target contaminated and this technique can effectively degrade organic pollutants in...

Petrochemical wastewater contains inhibitory compounds such as aromatics that are toxic to microorganisms during biological treatment. The compact and layered structure and the high amount of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) can contribute to protecting...
