Motivated by the phenomenon that some retailers with high-end brand images, such as Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, prefer to hinder consumers from sharing information through online reviews, we study an online retailer's strategy of hindering or facilitating consumer information sharing in...

Urea oxidation reaction (UOR) has emerged as a competitive approach for many energy-related technologies due to the low overpotential and fast reaction dynamics. The main challenge lies in fabricating high-efficient catalysts with optimized electronic structure and understanding the intrinsic...

This paper addresses model predictive control (MPC) of highly-coupled clusters of sea wave energy converters (WECs). Since each WEC is not only a wave absorber but also a wave generator, the motion of each WEC can be affected by the waves generated by its adjacent WECs when they are close to...

We demonstrate that deterministic sea wave prediction (DSWP) combined with constrained optimal control can dramatically improve the efficiency of sea wave energy converters (WECs), while maintaining their safe operation. We focus on a point absorber WEC employing a hydraulic/electric power...

In accordance with population development of Guizhou Province in 1977-2007, this paper adopts natural growth method, model prediction method and gray system GM (1, 1) model prediction method to predict population of Guizhou Province in 2020. On the basis of overall consideration of many factors...
