Cyber insurance is a valuable approach to mitigate further the cyber risk and its loss in addition to the deployment of technological cyber defense solutions such as intrusion detection systems and firewalls. An effective cyber insurance policy can reduce the number of successful cyber attacks...

We study the assimilation of ethnic minority individuals to the native labor market and the impact of integration policies on assimilation. In our model, ethnic individuals choose between 1. entrepreneurship, 2. assimilating to the native labor market, and 3. being employed by co-ethnic...

China is embarking on the treatment of rural domestic wastewater, but little information on the characteristics of antibiotics in the rural domestic wastewater is available. Thus, the occurrence, elimination efficiency and ecological risk of antibiotics, as well as conventional wastewater...

Micro-ductile fracture mechanism of a newly-produced meta-steel with a distinct auxetic effect is investigated mainly by performing in-situ X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) experiments. Conventional Q235 steel is chosen as a reference. The newly-produced meta-steel demonstrates a...

Different heat treatments (solution temperatures: from 1100 °C to 1140 °C) were performed to improve the mechanical properties of wrought superalloy GH4151 in order to optimize the microstructures. The solution treatments essentially affected the fraction of γ′ precipitates and the grain...

A multi-scale implicit method for solving Boltzmann phenomenological model equation with translational, rotational and vibrational effects is presented. The correct ratio of thermal conductivity and viscosity are provided by introducing a orthogonal polynomials to construct a sequence of...
