Recently, concerned with enhancing our supervision of self- employed youth, we investigated the situation of small businesses run by self-employed youth in Wuxi City. We have had extensive meetings with all levels of business associations, self-employed workers' associations (SEWAs), tax and...

The thermal performance of a solar thermosyphon system for water heating depends on its design characteristics and manufacturing quality. For product improvement and quality control purposes, standardized tests are performed and system characteristic parameters are determined through statistical...

As natural gas becomes increasingly important in our daily life, studies have been carried out on trace elements such as mercury and arsenic within it. Other than those, the existence of radioactive gaseous radon from the combustion of natural gas indoors can cause severe diseases and damages to...

The development mode of mid-small cities in northern Jiangsu is analyzed on the Growth Pole theory. Depending on scales, endowment of resources, geographical positions, and industrial advantages of mil-small cities, we can divide the development mode of those mid-small cities within this context...

Based on the status quo of rural informatization and information service, this article conducts analysis and discussion of problems in rural informatization and urban-rural information fusion, using statistics. And corresponding countermeasures are put forward as follows: building rural...

This paper aims to solve two fundamental problems on finite or infinite horizon dynamic games with perfect or almost perfect information. Under some mild conditions, we prove (1) the existence of subgame-perfect equilibria in general dynamic games with almost perfect information, and (2) the...

This paper aims to present an investigation into the operational performance of a novel heat pump assisted solar façade loop-heat-pipe (LHP) water heating system using both theoretical and experimental methods. This involved (1) development of a computer numerical model; (2) simulation of the...

China's outward foreign direct investment (FDI) is steadily increasing. The United States is now a key target for China's outward FDI, and the response by the American public tends to fall at opposite ends of the spectrum: fever or fear. Chinese FDI in the United States faces challenges posed by...

This paper aims to solve two fundamental problems on finite or infinite horizon dynamic games with perfect or almost perfect information. Under some mild conditions, we prove (1) the existence of subgame-perfect equilibria in general dynamic games with almost perfect information, and (2) the...

This paper presents an experimental and analytical study on incorporation of thermoelectric modules with glass evacuated-tube heat-pipe solar collectors. The integrated solar heat-pipe/thermoelectric module (SHP-TE) can be used for combined water heating and electricity generation. The...
