China has set an ambitious target to increase its wind power capacity by 35 GW from 2007 to 2020. The country's hunger for clean power provides great opportunities for wind energy investors. However, risks from China's uncertain electricity market regulation and an uncertain energy policy...

This paper uses a real options approach (ROA) for analysing the effects of government climate policy uncertainty on private investors' decision-making in the power sector. It presents an analysis undertaken by the International Energy Agency (IEA) that implements ROA within a dynamic programming...

We propose a physical scheme for teleporting an unknown atomic state in cavity QED. Our scheme does not involve the Bell-state measurement. The most distinctive advantage of our scheme is that teleportation and distillation procedure can be realized simultaneously. In addition, the current...

In this paper, we propose two physical schemes, which can teleport unknown atomic state from user A (Alice) to user B (Bob) using the W class state as quantum channel. The two schemes are all based on Cavity QED techniques. The fidelity of the teleported state in the two schemes is equal to 1.0,...

In this paper, we propose a theoretical entanglement concentration protocol for unknown triparticle W class states, and then the physical implementation of this proposal has also been presented in cavity QED. The general protocol is mainly based on the appropriate Bell state measurements. In the...

In this paper a novel scheme is proposed where with the help of Victor (a state preparer) an unknown EPR pair is copied in a certain probability so that three parties of communication can obtain the EPR state, respectively. The first stage of this scheme is to teleport an unknown EPR state to...

Energy efficiency in industrial boiler steam systems can be very low due to old technologies, improper design and non-optimal operation of the steam systems. Solutions include efficiency assessments and investments in steam system optimizations, education and training for operators of the...

This paper first describes the state-of-the-art of compressed natural gas (CNG) technologies and evaluates the market prospects for CNG vehicles in Beijing. An analysis of the natural gas resource supply for fleet vehicles follows. The costs and benefits of establishing natural gas filling...
