The Taylor vortex flow in the plain model with a constant temperature gradient effect was studied by experimental measurement, and the preliminary features of Taylor vortex flow affected by heat transfer process were obtained. This flow field in the plain model was also studied by numerical...

Due to the increasing high rate of economic development and population, groundwater resources of Jiansanjiang in China are affected by both anthropogenic and natural factors. In order to achieve optimal local allocation of water resources and promotion of local economic development, a suitable...

Due to the interconnection and active management of Distributed Generation (DG) and Energy Storage Systems (ESSs), the traditional electrical distribution network has become an Active Distribution Network (ADN), posing challenges to the operation optimization of the network. The power supply and...

A fuzzy overlapping community is an important kind of overlapping community in which each node belongs to each community to different extents. It exists in many real networks but how to identify a fuzzy overlapping community is still a challenging task. In this work, the concept of local random...

We consider the low temperature regime of the mesoscopic Kondo problem, and in particular the relevance of a Fermi-liquid description of this regime. Mesoscopic fluctuations of both the quasiparticle energy levels and the corresponding wavefunctions are large in this case. These mesoscopic...

Nitrogen (N) is the limiting factor for current biofuel production. Enormous quantities of waste N from agricultural, industrial and domestic use have been lost to the environment resulting in serious negative consequences. In this study, we discuss biofuel production using waste N (BPWN) on...

Quantitative understanding of human movement behaviors would provide helpful insights into the mechanisms of many socioeconomic phenomena. In this paper, we investigate human mobility patterns through analyzing taxi-trace datasets collected from five metropolitan cities in two countries. We...

In recent studies of the complex network, most of the community detection methods only consider the network topological structure without background information. This leads to a relatively low accuracy. In this paper, a novel semi-supervised community detection algorithm is proposed based on the...

We present a psychological safety model of organizational politics to account for the effects that exposure to organizational politics has on voice behavior. In particular, we hypothesize that psychological safety mediates the negative relation between organizational politics, as perceived by...

In our model of the deregulated airline industry, consumers care not only about price but also about service convenience, measured by system coverage and connection. We find that the service-enhancing effects of employing large-scale hub-and-spoke networks have outweighed the price-increasing...
