Many countries have achieved moderate to dramatic growth during the last few decades, and the world-widely continued economic growth results in increased wealth and deteriorated environment. The relationship between economic growth and environmental quality has received great attention in...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential for emissions control policy using the example of the power generation sector in China. Design/methodology/approach – The analytical model is developed using a joint production function, where carbon emissions and electricity...

Purpose: Previous researchers have studied push and pull contracts in the single product scenario, although in practice, supply chains often produce and sell multiple products. In a multiproduct scenario, the sales of a product will be influenced by its complements or substitutes, which...

The piston motion of HFPE (hydraulic free-piston engine) was determined by the forces acting on the mover rather than on the crankshaft. This makes the complex interaction coupling between the piston motions and the combustion process. These factors lead to the combustion in the HFPE unstable...

Purpose – Wheel‐terrain interaction has hardly been taken into consideration in the process of conventional mobile robot design, but its importance has been reflected increasingly towards these categories of mobile robots in rough sandy terrain or obstacle‐dense ground, as the first...

While social capital is becoming mainstreamed in social science, much remains to be done to better understand its' nature. This is especially true for "What motivates the investment in social capital, and what affects the level of social capital?" An earlier paper by Robison, Schmid and Siles (...
