Developing an all-biomass feedstock, simple process and low-cost way to achieve cotton fabric flame retardation is of great significance in civil, military and industrial fields. Herein, making use of layer-by-layer coating of protein extracted from fishery waste fish scales and phytic acid (PA)...

Oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of carbon materials can promote the adsorption capacity of radioactive thorium ions (Th(IV)), but their effect on the adsorption of Th(IV) has not been systematically revealed. Herein, to elucidate the nature of oxygen-containing group-mediated...

Developing novel absorbing material with excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties is an optimal solution to deal with increasingly serious electromagnetic radiation and pollution. Herein, the SiCNWS@NiCo2O4@PANI 1D hierarchical nanocomposites were successfully constructed through...

This article investigates how two dimensions of psychological distance (i.e., temporal distance and social distance) jointly affect consumers' evaluations of products. Drawing on the properties of psychological distance and diminishing sensitivity to the increase in distance, we show an...

This paper investigates the impact of environmental regulation on firms’ position and production stages along global value chains. By combining rich data sources including customs trade data, industrial firm data, Chinese Input-Output table, and pollution data, we exploit a...

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) is a promising technology being applied to treat industry wastewater, while the commonly coexistent heavy metals and salinity usually become the challenging issue to be addressed. In this study, the responses of anammox sludge to the combined stress of...

People are said to be loss averse when their pain of losing something exceeds their joy of gaining it. This research proposes and tests a new moderator of loss aversion: the type of relationship norms salient at the time the loss or the gain is experienced. We suggest that mere salience of the...
