A considerable fraction of college students and bachelor's degree recipients enroll in multiple postsecondary institutions. Despite this fact, there is scant research that examines the nature of the paths - both the number and types of institutions - that students take to obtain a bachelor's...

This study examines whether a host country's industry-specific technology advantage increases the propensity of emerging market multinational enterprises (EMNEs) to invest in the host country. The study further explores whether inward FDI in EMNEs' home markets, by generating knowledge...

In this paper, we build on a rational expectation model to study the economic consequences of a firm's choice of disclosure audience in a market with heterogenous traders in terms of information processing abilities. Through costly expertise acquisition, some traders become sophisticated and can...

The enforcement of social norms is considered as a main motivation for third-party intervention. We provide direct evidence for this theory in a cross-country experimental trust game with a sender, a receiver, and a third party who can punish or reward the receiver at own cost. As a novelty we...

Studying the interrelation of soil water and plant water is essential for an in-depth understanding of eco-hydrological processes. However, water use relationships and comparative studies between shrubs and alpine grassland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau remain poorly understand. In this study, we...

The two-electron water oxidation reaction (2e-WOR) is an eco-friendly process to produce H2O2, which attracts much attention due to its low cost and high safety. CaSnO3 is a potential industrial catalyst for 2e-WOR reaction with high performance. However, the surface structure and active site of...

Black phosphorus (BP), one rising star of two-dimensional (2D) materials, has showcased a huge capability for ppb-level NO 2 detection. However, sluggish reaction kinetics and fragile stability frustrate its further application. In this regard, for the first time we prepared Ag nanoparticles...

Dynamic behavior of miscible CO2-oil mixtures in nanopores is the heart of CO2-EOR and CO2 storage in shale reservoirs. However, the underlying physics resulting from scale effects remains unclear due to the lack of in-depth mechanisms analysis and powerful theoretical models. In this work, a...

Here, a Fe3(PO4)2 encapsulated N,P,S-doped hollow dual shell structured carbon-based nanocomposite (H-PZS-Fe-850), with fully open super-macropores, was developed via a simple but efficient coating-activation synthesis strategy. The incorporation of Fe3(PO4)2 in the nanoshell of the composite...
