An innovative direct vapor generation (DVG) power system using cascade steam-organic Rankine cycle (SORC) and two-stage accumulators is proposed. It offers a significantly enlarged storage capacity due to a unique discharge operation mode. Synthetic oil Therminol® VP-1 is used as the heat...

In this study, the application of laser processing technology to produce the wedge surface and its internal structure in one-step way will be introduced, and the function of wedge surface and internal structure coupling on liquid’s movement and controlling will be studied. Inspired by the...

In Faraday supercapacitors, battery-type materials despite their high theoretical capacity have not shown prospect yet in application primarily due to their especially low cycling stability (< 10,000 cycles), sharp contrast to the carbon materials in electrical double layer capacitors (> 100,000 cycles). The so far materials structure-stabilizing strategies, established on the acknowledged...</10,000>

This paper generalizes a market-based indicator for financial sector surveillance using a multifactor latent structure in the determination of the default probabilities of an nth-todefault credit default swap (CDS) basket of large complex financial institutions (LCFIs). To estimate the...

Based on the introduction of modern agriculture, relationship between land circulation and modern agriculture is discussed. This relationship is reflected mainly in two aspects. Firstly, land circulation is a necessary requirement for the development of modern agriculture, which can speed up the...

In this study, we discuss the development of an instrument to examine subjects' awareness of and intentions to behave in accordance with what has become known as the 'green movement'. Environmental friendliness and sustainability are the major concerns of green products, green manufacturing and...
