Cryogenic generation is one of the most important ways to utilize cold energy during LNG (liquefied natural gas) regasification. This paper fundamentally investigates LNG cryogenic generation with the Stirling cycle method based on previous studies. A basic process of LNG cryogenic generation...

Two models based on Li et al. (2011) are developed for general application in estimating the monthly average daily diffuse solar radiation in China. The validation of these models is performed by comparing with four existing empirical models against the measured data. It is found that the...

Eight models using only the sunshine duration for estimating the global solar radiation on a horizontal surface are evaluated at Changdu, Geer, Lasa and Naqu stations in Tibet, China against the measured meteorological data during 1994–2008. Based on statistical error tests, results show that...

Through the calculation and analysis of the tourism economic spatial relation, it found that Liaoning central urban agglomeration tourism economic spatial relation has many problems, such as the central city is insufficient, and the low degree of spatial relations. Therefore, this article puts...

This article firstly measures the tourism economy relations in Shenyang Economic Zone, and summarizes the spatial structure of tourism economy in Shenyang Economic Zone. The results show that Shenyang is in the central position and its tourism resource has obvious advantages. Finally, this paper...

We select 149 rural recreational tourism destinations in Liaoning Province as the samples, and use geographical mathematical method to analyze the travel spatial structure of rural recreational tourism destinations from aggregation degree of spatial distribution, the balance of spatial...

How do macroeconomic variables affect housing prices? In this paper we apply a non-linear modeling approach, the Nonlinear Auto Regressive Moving Average with eXogenous inputs (NARMAX), to investigate determinants of housing prices in China over the period 1999:01 to 2010:06. The NARMAX...

Purpose: Despite the growing research exploring the possibility and feasibility of financing socially oriented projects through crowdfunding, relatively little research examines which crowdfunding model is better to serve such purpose. The purpose of this paper is to offer novel insights to...

Purpose: Building trust is critical in reverse mergers and acquisitions (M&As), attributed to the divergence of governance and culture between the East and the West. This paper aims to explore the barriers and trust-building practices of Chinese managers in reverse M&As in developed countries....

In this article, the authors design two metric sets considering Richness and Correctness based on a quasi-formal conceptual representation. They also design a novel metric set on overlapped instances of different KBs to make the metric results comparable. Finally, they use random sampling...
