The high toxicity and complex fabrication process of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) membranes limit their wide application in water treatment. Herein, we reported a new route to fabricate a green RGO composite membrane. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were reduced by alkali lignin (AL),...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential economic impacts of China’s insect-resistant GM maize and provide new evidence for decision making concerning its commercialization. Design/methodology/approach This study uses data drawn from the production trials of...

Prognostics and remaining useful life (RUL) estimation for lithium-ion batteries play an important role in intelligent battery management systems (BMS). The capacity is often used as the fade indicator for estimating the remaining cycle life of a lithium-ion battery. For spacecraft requiring...

For a repairable k-out-of-n:G system consisting of line-replaceable units, its operational availability depends on component reliability, its redundancy level, and spare parts availability. As a result, it is important to consider redundancy allocation and spare parts provisioning simultaneously...

Purpose – “China phenomena” is changing the knowledge balance of the world. Many countries, in particular, Western countries, are carefully following the development and change of China's technology system and innovation policy. After turning itself into the world's manufacturing...

Purpose – This paper aims to consolidate prior research from policy and management domains to identify stages in China's technological learning within the imitation paradigm during 1949‐2001, focusing on changes in the government's strategic priorities and policies and the nature, mode and...
