This research focused on the feasibility and stability of applying the forward and reverse combustion approach to the in situ gasification of lignite and bituminous coal with oxygen or oxygen–steam mixtures as gasification agents, especially reverse combustion gasification. A high-quality...

Third party punishment is regarded as an essential to the maintenance of social norms. We examine the economic logic underlined third party punishment in a Dictator Game within a real effort context in which dictators(first parties) distribute the outputs of both first parties and second...

It is a common sense that an individual would feel disappointed when his work results overpass other team members while his final reward is determined by the poorest performance of the group. One question is raised: How people decide the level of their working effort in the next period while...

Satellite data reveal that China has significantly increased its vegetation cover since 2000, and vegetation will maintain the increasing trend in the foreseeable future for becoming carbon neutral. However, limited work has examined the environmental impacts of vegetation greening because...

Comprehending the response of microbial communities in rivers along urbanization gradients to hydrologic characteristics and pollution sources is critical for effective watershed management. However, the effects of complex factors on riverine microbial communities remain poorly understood. Thus,...

In this paper, the gasification conditions, the gasifier structure, the measuring system and the gasification rationale of a pilot project experiment of underground coal gasification (UCG) in the Liuzhuang Colliery, Tangshan, are illustrated. The technique of two-phase underground coal...

The purpose of this paper is to survey the state of case study research in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) literature. Thus, it is an original attempt at presenting the current state and review of the case method in M&A research, provided no earlier study claims this. The stylized review reveals...
