China’s forest cover has been increasing in the past three decades, which is in sharp contrast to rapid declines in other natural resources. Understanding the mechanisms of forest recovery and their effects is essential for sustaining forests in China and elsewhere. Some studies suggest that...

Nitrogen gas crossover (NGC) and nitrogen accumulation at the anode of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are ineluctable and it would lead to inferior performance and even irreversible damage to functional components. To mitigate this issue, multiphysics numerical models (MNMs) are...

In this paper, we studied the research areas of Chinese natural science basic research from a point view of complex network. Two research areas are considered to be connected if they appear in one fund proposal. The explicit network of such connections using data from 1999 to 2004 is...

Effect of iron promoter on the microstructures of CuMnZnO catalysts was investigated by N2 physical adsorption (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and temperature-programmed reduction of hydrogen (H2-TPR). Higher alcohols synthesis (HAS) was performed in a fixed bed reactor. The characterization...
