FeS2 was applied as an activator and reductant in nano calcium peroxide (nCP) based Fenton-like system to degrade naphthalene (NAP). The results indicated that 96.9% of NAP was removed within 180 min at optimal dosages in the nCP/FeS2 system and the NAP degradation efficiency was influenced by...

We report international, style, and subperiod evidence for the other January effect (OJE) documented in Cooper et al. [2006. The other January effect. Journal of Financial Economics 82, 315-341]. When examining the OJE in 22 countries starting as early as 1801, we find that the spread between...

Direct liquid-immersion cooling of solar cells using dimethyl silicon oil is proposed as a heat dissipation solution for linear CPV (concentrating photovoltaic) systems. To reduce the liquid holdup, a narrow rectangular channel receiver was designed and its heat transfer performance was...

Motivated by increment process modeling for two correlated random and non-random systems from a discrete-time asset pricing with both risk free asset and risky security, we propose a class of semiparametric regressions for a combination of a non-random and a random system. Unlike classical...

For multivariate nonparametric regression models, existing variable selection methods with penalization require high-dimensional nonparametric approximations in objective functions. When the dimension is high, none of methods with penalization in the literature are readily available. Also,...
