In this paper, we use the improved Diebold & Yilmaz method based on TVP-VAR-SV model to analyze dynamic connectedness between energy, precious metal, industrial metal, agriculture and livestock commodity markets. The results show that the energy, industrial metal, and precious metal commodity...

With the portable Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), the reflectance spectra of soil samples with different moisture content are measured in laboratory for expounding the characteristic of radiation in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum with different soil moisture content. A...

Microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of extruded Mg- x Gd sheets (x =1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 wt%) were discussed, and microstructural evolution of an Mg-1.0Gd alloy during extrusion were investigated. The extrudedMg- x Gd sheets presented a fully recrystallized microstructure. The...
