Public health events (PHEs) have emerged as significant threats to human life and health, as well as affecting economic growth. PHEs such as COVID-19 have led people to reflect on better regular prevention and control (RPC) for PHEs. Firstly, under the background of RPC for PHEs, a neoclassical...

The spatio-temporal evolution and the spatial effect analysis of land ecological efficiency (abbrev. eco-efficiency) are key to achieving high-quality economic, environmental and social development. It is also important to optimize territorial space layout and coordinate urbanization development...

Metal-Sulfur/Selenium batteries have become the focus of new-generation energy storage systems due to the advantages of low-cost and high energy density. However, it still suffers from the notorious shuttle of the polysulfides/polyselenides, poor electronic conductivity and tremendous volume...

Almost all types of steels are vulnerable when serving long-termly in a corrosive marine environment. Coating steels with titanium alloys is an effective way to improve the anti-corrosion performance. Herein, high-performance titanium alloy coatings were successfully prepared from Ti6Al4V powder...

Generalized iterative scaling (GIS) has become a popular method for getting the maximum likelihood estimates for log-linear models. It is basically a sequence of successive I-projections onto sets of probability vectors with some given linear combinations of probability vectors. However, when a...
