The fundamental diagram, as the graphical representation of the relationships among traffic flow, speed, and density, has been the foundation of traffic flow theory and transportation engineering. Seventy-five years after the seminal Greenshields model, a variety of models have been proposed to...

As metropolitan area governments and others promote density-promoting “smart growth” policies, finer analysis is needed to quantify the impact of such policies on households transportation and housing costs. Existing research suggests that households in urban areas trade-off between housing...

This study experimentally examines consumers’ reactions to culturally incongruent images in advertising, which are characterized by a mix of global and local cultural elements and symbols featured in product advertisements. Drawing on the persuasion knowledge perspective, the authors argue how...

Based on the transposon-mutagenized library of Pantoea agglomerans BH18, mutant screens were conducted to obtain the strain with the highest Fe (III) reduction and hydrogen production. Of these transposon-mutagenized mutants, the mutant strain TB230 was screened for high Fe (III)-reducing...

BP neural network with optimum hidden layer nodes were used to evaluate the power environmental issues in China. Furthermore, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method is used to optimise the number of hidden layer nodes of BP neural network. The evaluation...

We provide estimates of expenditure and price elasticities of the demand for imported milk in Spain using a dynamic Linear Approximate of the Almost Ideal Demand System (LA-AIDS). We also provide evidence of structural change in the demand for imported milk in Spain due to the dairy program...

Based on survey data of current situations of new generation migrant workers’ vocational education and its influence on social mobility in Shijiazhuang City, the author believes that there are many drawbacks in vocational education of new generation migrant workers, including low...

In light of increasing globalization of the world economy, effective entry and expansion of multinational corporations (MNCs) in the global market have been of considerable interest to researchers. This study adopts the evolutionary perspective in analyzing MNCs' entry and expansion in the...
