Three kinds of macro-encapsulated phase change materials (MacroPCMs) were fabricated, i.e., MacroPCMs with a single core–shell structure, MacroPCMs containing microencapsulated phase change materials (MicroPCMs), and composite macrocapsules of MicroPCMs/expanded graphite prepared by...

Macro-capsules containing shape-stabilize phase change materials (SSPCM) which have 50 wt% of n-octadecane (OD) and 50 wt% of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were prepared by using a traditional coating pan with calcium alginate (CA) as the shell material. The surface morphologies and...

Although it had a a lower income level than India in 1980, China's 2006 per capita gross domestic product stands more than twice that of India's. This paper investigates the role of the business environment in explaining China's productivity advantage using recent firm-level survey data. The...

Cobalt-based catalysts have been widely explored in the degradation of organic pollutants based on peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Herein, we report an MXene nano-Co3O4 co-catalyst enriched with oxygen vacancies (Ov) and steadily fixed in nickel foam (NF) plates, which is used as an...

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine whether the three principles in the SysTrust ® service converge on a single construct to measure potential users' trust in the reliability of a system, and whether trust in the reliability of a system, as defined by the three SysTrust...
