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...
