Carbon capture and storage (CCS) in China is currently discussed extensively but few in-depth analyses focusing on economics are observed. In this study, we answer two related questions about the development of CCS and power generation technologies in China: (1) what is the breakeven...

The probability of two nodes to be linked is related to their similarities in the network. Based on statistical inference, a network-structure similarity index, therefore, is proposed to find the potential links. This index quantifies the effects of the node communities on these links. And an...

Information sharing and the conformity of information systems in China's hospitals have drawn attention due to the rapid development of the medicine industry and medical information systems. The paper proposes a game theory-based model for information sharing in hospitals by analyzing the...

The subject of this paper is the capacity of minor-street traffic movements across major divided four-lane roadways (and other roads with two separate carriageways) at unsignalized intersections. The center of the intersection, corresponding to the width of the median, often provides room for...

Most of the capacity calculation procedures for two-way stop-controlled (TWSC) intersections are based on gap acceptance models. Critical gap is one of the major parameters for gap acceptance models. The accuracy of capacity estimation is mainly determined by the accuracy of the critical gap....

The computational procedures used to analyze two-way stop-controlled intersections were extended in the National Cooperative Highway Research Project 3-46 to account for a number of effects commonly observed at actual unsignalized intersections. This paper presents theoretical extensions that...

This paper introduces a universal procedure for calculating the capacity at unsignalized (priority-controlled) intersections. This procedure can handle all possible stream and lane configurations (e.g., number of lanes and ranks of streams, etc.) at unsignalized intersections. For the simplest...

The calculation procedures in recent highway capacity manuals do not treat shared/short lanes at unsignalized intersections in an exact manner. The capacity of individual streams (left turn, through and right turn) are calculated separately. If the streams share a common traffic lane, the...

In this study, we create a set of network DEA models that can be used to divide efficiency scores into two subunits, thus providing more accurate results. This approach can help open the “black box” of efficiency measurement and help determine the advantages and disadvantages of various...
