This work presents a simple and effective strategy to prepare zeolite encapsulated Pt nanoparticles at high crystallization temperature. The encapsulation Pt cation within ZSM-48 simplifies the preparation method of catalyst through one-pot method. Pt@ZSM-48 combines the advantages of both...

The effect of tropical cyclones on the turbulent flow over 2D continuous rolling hills was numerically investigated based on a field test analysis of the coastal region of Southeast China. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was first developed and verified using previously published...

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the smart load control on an Upwind/NREL 5 MW reference wind turbine under the IEC extreme wind shear (EWS) condition utilizing newly developed aero-servo-elastic platform. The control action was implemented through the local perturbation of a...

This study proposes a policy evaluation model from the perspective of government and investors. The proposed model, which integrates American option method and two-factor learning curve method, can be used to evaluate the unit decision value and save-path rate for renewable energy development...

This paper presents a numerical study on the parametric effect of deformable trailing edge flap (DTEF) on the fatigue load of a large-scale wind turbine blade. Investigations were conducted within the operation regions II and III of the turbine, respectively. Results showed that, compared with...

We argue that the extent to which a firm faces takeover threats affects its knowledge structure. In particular, takeover threats may lead to managers' reluctance to adopt a strategy toward firm-specific knowledge accumulation, because implementing this strategy requires them to acquire...

We consider boards as human groups in the uppermost echelon of corporations and examine how an informal hierarchy that tacitly forms among a firm's directors affects firm financial performance. This informal hierarchy is based on directors' deference for one another. We argue that the clarity of...

The resource-based view of the firm emphasizes the role of firm-specific resources, especially firm-specific knowledge resources, for enabling a firm to gain and sustain competitive advantage. However, since the deployment of firm-specific knowledge frequently requires key employees to make...
