The convergence of technological and marketing affordances makes creating products or services tailored to deep consumer insights faster and of better fit than was previously feasible. This rapid adaptability begs the question - is there a way to do better than traditional approaches to customer...

In order to accurately identify the geometric boundary, the radial integration boundary element method (RIBEM) combined with the modified LevenbergMarquardt (LM) algorithm is proposed for shape reconstruction in transient heat conduction problems. Compared with the finite element method (FEM),...

To analysis traffic in anonymity network, an active network flow watermark scheme, the ON/OFF watermarking, is proposed to embed timing information into the network flow. This scheme exploits a technique that drops packets at prescribed time intervals to create watermark sequence at the sending...

Understanding how the wind energy resources will change in a future climate under different greenhouse gas (GHG) emission scenarios is critical for global energy safety and economy. First, we evaluate the wind speed over the Northern Hemisphere in global climate models that participate in the...

To achieve a goal of reducing the emission intensity of carbon dioxide in 2020 by 40–45% relative to 2005 in China, the framework for a low-carbon scenario was developed on a small scale in Minhang District, Shanghai. The STIRPAT model was employed to reveal the factors that contribute to CO2...

Aiming at the recovery of exhaust energy for a diesel engine, a set of ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system is designed. The characteristics of the exhaust gas under various operating conditions are studied through experiment. Based on experimental results and theoretical calculation, effects of...
