The development of high-performance magnetocaloric material is one of the keys to actualize the room-temperature magnetic refrigeration technology. Here the effects and mechanisms of solidification behaviors and microstructures on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of AlFe 2 B 2 intermetallics are...

Based on the analysis of fatigue accumulation damage, the mechanism of fatigue accumulation damage on the loss of energy of non-magnetic steel plates is revealed. The results show that the fatigue accumulation effect of non-magnetic steel plates does not depend on the appearance of structural...

The lack of solution processability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been a major obstacle to hamper their practical applications. At present, a common belief is that the solution processability of MOFs can only be improved by functionalized with extra additives. In this work, we have...

Chromium content of vanadium slag considerably affects its phase composition, micromorphology, elements distribution, and further vanadium extraction by calcification roasting–acid leaching. In this work, remelting and crystallization were used to prepare vanadium slag with different Cr2O3...

We argue that inter-jurisdictional competition in a regionally decentralized authoritarian regime distorts local politicians' incentives in resource allocation among firms from their own city and a competing city. We develop a tournament model of project selection that captures the driving...

We investigate the relationship between the verifiability of statements and effective persuasion when there are multiple experts. We extend the model of Wolinsky (2002) and show that it is possible for experts to fully reveal information to the decision maker when the verifiability goes in the...
