This is the first part of an effort to connect molecular dynamics to a well-established continuum theory, micromorphic theory. This effort includes two parts: mechanical variables and balance laws. In this paper, the physical picture of micromorphic theory is introduced. A geometric model of an...

In this paper, the time evolution laws for the averaged conserved dynamical variables are derived based on a molecular dynamic model. It is found that they follow exactly the balance laws in micromorphic continuum, derived by Eringen in a top-down approach. Since all the mechanical variables in...

We utilize data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) to study borrowing decisions and other factors related to the run-up in housing prices in 1999-2007, their precipitous decline in 2007-2009, and how they contributed to mortgage distress and foreclosures as of 2009-2011. Difficulties...

Research and development (R&D) cooperation between multinational corporations (MNCs) and Chinese universities becomes a prevailing phenomenon in China. Therefore, exploring its technology spillover channels is important in order to improve national innovation and the R&D strength of Chinese...

Buildings represent nearly 40 percent of total energy use in the U.S. and about 50 percent of this energy is used for heating, ventilating, and cooling the space. Conventional heating and cooling systems are having a great impact on security of energy supply and greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike...

Mobile recommender systems target on recommending the right product or information to the right mobile users at anytime and anywhere. It is well known that the contextual information is often the key for the performances of mobile recommendations. Therefore, in this paper, we provide a focused...
