Due to the increasing size and flexibility of large wind turbine blades, accurate and reliable aeroelastic modelling is playing an important role for the design of large wind turbines. Most existing aeroelastic models are linear models based on assumption of small blade deflections. This...

In a gas/particle two-phase testing facility with the use of a three-component particle-dynamics anemometer, we determine the influence of secondary air mass flow rates on gas/particle flow characteristics in the near-burner region of a centrally fuel-rich swirl coal combustion burner....

A complex ad hoc network model with accelerated growth is proposed in this paper. In the evolving process of the model, at each time step with the addition probability c1, a new vertex with m(t) edges is added into the model, which new adding edges are connected with the old vertices according...

The risk management of New Zealand's foreign exchange reserves is discussed.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to quantify how the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) export volume affects the anti-dumping (AD) petitions filed by its major trading partners against the country. Design/methodology/approach – Focusing on the AD petitions at the Harmonized System...

Purpose The paper aims to reduce the low-frequency resonance and residual vibration of the robot during the operation, improve the working accuracy and efficiency. A reduced weight and large load-to-weight ratio can improve the practical application of a collaborative robot. However, flexibility...

Purpose The conditions that domain analysis becomes an academic school of information science (IS) are mature. Domain analysis is one of the most important foundations of IS. The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss metatheoretical and theoretical issues in the domain analytic...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate a new and practical decision support model of the coordinated replenishment and delivery (CRD) problem with multi-warehouse (M-CRD) to improve the performance of a supply chain. Two algorithms, tabu search-RAND (TS-RAND) and adaptive hybrid...

Foreign direct investment (FDI) can benefit domestic firms in the host country. Using firm-level data for China, we find statistically positive vertical spillover effects of multinational enterprises on the performance of domestic firms through backward and forward supplier–customer...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the antecedents of manager voice in Chinese business from the theory of plan behavior perspective. The paper focuses on how antecedents including organization‐based self‐esteem, psychological ownership, and supervisor‐subordinate...
