Abstract In attempting to address the problems about low solar light utilization and easy compounding of photo-generated electrons-hole of the commonly used single transition metal oxide photocatalysts, this paper uses MXene ( Ti 3 C 2 ) with excellent wave absorption performance as a...

Inspired by the structure of peony flower, a nanostructured peony-like ZnO was bionically designed. This bionic structure has larger specific surface area and lamellar spacing, provides more active sites for ion storage, and the combination with natural biomass rice husk carbon can effectively...

We propose a new method for fitting proportional hazards models with error-prone covariates. Regression coefficients are estimated by solving an estimating equation that is the average of the partial likelihood scores based on imputed true covariates. For the purpose of imputation, a linear...

Public health concerns over the occurrence of birth defects and developmental abnormalities that may occur as a result of prenatal exposure to drugs, chemicals and other environmental factors has led to an increasing number of developmental toxicity studies. Because fetal pups are commonly...

In this paper, we present a simple stock market model (the market game) which incorporates, as ab initio dynamics delayed majority dynamics, according to which agents (with heterogeneous strategies and price expectations) are rewarded if their actions at time t are the actions of the majority of...

China faces growing environmental problems as rapid economic growth comes at the cost of excessive resource consumption. Sustainable development can only be realized by reducing energy intensity. Although some general factors that influence energy intensity have been described, less information...
