This study analyzes factors that influence carbon emissions due to fossil energy consumption in China to identify key factors for policies promoting carbon emission reductions. Carbon emissions for energy consumption are decomposed into energy structure, energy intensity, industry structure,...

Extrusion pretreatment was applied to enhance fermentative methane production from rice straw. The extrusion-pretreated rice straw (EPRS) showed significant particle size reduction, physical properties improvement and volume expansion, as compared to the milling-pretreatment rice straw (MPRS)...

This paper concerns the homogenization problem of a parabolic equation with large, time-dependent, random potentials in high dimensions d≥3. Depending on the competition between temporal and spatial mixing of the randomness, the homogenization procedure turns to be different. We characterize...

The essential drive of building a new countryside lies in scientific and technological innovation. Through expounding the scientific and technological demonstration benefits and roles of new countryside building in poverty-stricken mountainous area, the major problems and hardships of new...

<section xml:id="fut21653-sec-0001"> We develop the Nelson–Siegel model in the context of option‐implied volatility term structure and study the time series of volatility components. Three components, corresponding to the level, slope, and curvature of the volatility term structure, can be interpreted as the long‐,...</section>

This study presents the auxiliary damping control with the reactive power loop on the rotor-side converter of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms to depress the sub-synchronous resonance oscillations in nearby turbogenerators. These generators are connected to a series...

We examined the effect of different irrigation and nitrogen (N) fertilizer levels on Zea mays L. (maize) on nitrate-nitrogen (NO3−-N) leaching under lysimeter conditions. To do so, we used large lysimeters (2.5m×2.5m×2.0m deep) at the Maize Technological Innovation Center (MTIC) of the...

We develop the Nelson-Siegel model in the context of option-implied volatility term structure and study the time-series of three volatility components in the model. We show that these components, corresponding to the level, slope and curvature of the volatility term structure, can be interpreted...
