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...

Entropy generation rate is directly related to exergy destruction and is therefore to useful energy. This study investigates temperature distribution and local and total entropy generation rates within a composite hollow cylinder with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and internal heat...

Precise prediction of thermal processes is one of the major concerns in the field of heat transfer and within energy research communities. It has been proven that using LTE (local thermal equilibrium) conditions within a porous medium may give researchers erroneous data. From another point of...

This paper establishes the performance characteristics of convective–radiative longitudinal fins of rectangular, trapezoidal and concave parabolic profiles with simultaneous variation of thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient and surface emissivity with temperature. The convection and...
