When rolling aluminum (Al)/magnesium (Mg)/aluminum (Al) composite plates with large reduction, there are often differences in matrix structure and hard brittle properties of interfacial intermetallic compounds, which have a negative impact on the mechanical properties. Therefore, it is necessary...

We study the economic incentives behind the adoption of private pools. Validators may choose to not monitor private pools to preserve rents extracted from arbitrageurs, hence creating execution risk for users. Private pools neither eliminate frontrunning risk nor reduce transaction fees. The...

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have garnered significant attentions as an emerging digital asset class with unique properties that cannot be replicated. In this paper, we utilize decision tree and random forest regression methodologies to conduct an analysis of the factors that influence the pricing...

What should a distressed buyer’s sourcing strategy be? We find that this depends on the dynamics in a potential in-court bankruptcy. To establish causality, we use a novel sourcing data set in combination with a unique quasi-natural experimental setting provided by a regulatory shock that...

Prior literature has studied firm uniqueness and its implications for capital market participants by investigating earnings uniqueness. We recognize that cost and revenue uniqueness provide separate insights about firm uniqueness because different forces drive firm-specific revenues and costs....

It is highly desirable to discover MOFs matrix composites with controlled reduction selectivity in the general understanding of the CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) in electro- and photocatalytic process. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy to prepare metal organic framework hybrid...

The form and water uptake characteristics of the fine root system in a 5-year-old triploid Populus tomentosa plantation were investigated to make recommendations related to irrigation water management for P. tomentosa plantation. Fine roots for analysis were collected from 2106 soil cores taken...

Although evidence abounds that the development of rural non-farm activities have increased rural household income and contributed to rural development, the underlying structure and mechanism of the linkage between agricultural productivity and non-farm activities is poorly understood. Using a...
