Regional economic power and local environmental policies have a substantial impact on pollution reduction in urban agglomerations (UAs); however, whether megacities in UAs exert spillover effects of pollution reduction on surrounding cities remains unknown. This study presents a causal analytic...

The effects of cold rolling and subsequent annealing on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Fe 40 Mn 20 Cr 20 Ni 20 high-entropy alloys (HEAs) were investigated. The Cr-rich secondary phases with a tetragonal structure (sigma phase) in the Fe 40 Mn 20 Cr 20 Ni 20 HEA were...

This study focuses on the evaluation of CSR performance by reviewing and comparing several major Measurements of Social Performances (MSPs) in developed countries and mainland China based on their merits and concerns. Most importantly, this study advocates the use of a quantitative measurement...

Forecasting network data traffic is an important part of the function of planning and managing information systems. However, the contents of network data are so stochastic and complex that it is very difficult to establish stable functions to describe the mapping relationship between data flows...

This paper investigates strategic interactions between a private highway operator anda private transit operator who uses the same highway for its services. Heterogeneity oftravellers is taken into account by considering a continuous distribution of values of time.Demand elasticity arises from...
