Climate change poses huge challenges to the sustainable development of human society. As a major CO2 emission source, decarbonization of power sector is fundamental for CO2 emission abatement. Therefore, considering the “carbon lock-in” effects, it’s critical to formulate an appropriate...

It is very important for electric utility to determine dominant sectors which have more impacts on electricity consumption in national economy system. In this paper, an input-output perspective and methodology is proposed to handle this issue. The input-output table of electricity demand (IOTED)...

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most serious injuries, which will cause severe sensory and motor obstacles. The current effective treatment methods remain a worldwide challenge for both clinic and research. The lack of electrical signal conduction and cell growth...

With global climate changing, urban microclimate is deteriorating at a faster rate than before in many cities. In this paper, the significant effect of the deterioration of urban microclimate on air-conditioning energy consumption (ACEC) is studied. Cumulative effect (CE) has enormous influence...

Levy processes have gained great success in pricing single asset options. In this thesis, we introduce a methodology enabling us to extend the single asset pricing technique based on Levyprocesses to multiasset cases.In our method, we assume the log-return of each asset as a linear sum of...
