This paper presents a study on the utilization of ocean thermal energy in Dalian. Coastal areas are ideal sites for the application of seawater-source heat pump technology (SWHP) to provide district cooling and heating. The technical requirements and the scheme design in the context of marine...

Due to the widespread application of rolling element bearings, it is necessary to effectively monitor their health status. The shock pulse method (SPM) has been widely used as a quantitative method for bearing condition monitoring. However, the shock value indicating the bearing condition may be...

Resource utilization efficiency is one of important factors influencing modern agricultural development. This paper evaluates agricultural resource utilization efficiency of Hebei Province in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period by dynamic comprehensive evaluation method. Evaluation results...

The utilization efficiency of resources is one of the important factors affecting the development of modern agriculture. Using production function method and ratio analysis method, we carry out the horizontal comparison of the utilization efficiency of major agricultural resources such as arable...

Calculated level spacing statistics in randomly shaped jellium metal clusters, with Coulomb and Breit interactions between the electrons, is found to differ qualitatively from the Wigner distribution and better correspond with the Poisson distribution. Prediction of significantly enhanced...

A data-adaptive multiscale spatial decomposition model is proposed to deal with skew-distributed data (eg, population or GDP). Relying on the filtering characteristics according to the bandwidth change of kernel smoothing, the parallel spatial kernel smoothing with different bandwidths is...

The Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) phase transition of 2D dilute generalized XY model on a triangular lattice is studied by a hybrid Monte Carlo (MC) method. The critical temperatures are obtained by several methods for dilute and non-dilute cases. It is found that the critical...

This paper examines whether equity market liberalization facilitates economic growth at the industry level. It also explores whether equity market liberalization reduces the cost of capital by scrutinizing a particular mechanism: that liberalization reduces the wedge between the costs of...

This paper is concerned with setting a predetermined number of bid levels in a Dutch auction to maximize the auctioneer's expected revenue. As a departure from the traditional methods used by applied economists and game-theorists, a novel approach is taken in this study to tackle the problem by...

In a deterministic project network, all the activity times are fixed values and the path float can be found by computing the difference between the project duration and the path length. This is not possible in its stochastic counterpart, where the path lengths and the project duration change...
