The recent advances in bioanalytical technology have accelerated the analysis of complex protein glycosylation, which is beneficial to understanding glycosylation in drug discovery and disease diagnosis. Due to its biological uniqueness in the course of disease occurrence and development,...

Solar water splitting is an eco-friendly technology to produce clean energy, but the water oxidation half reaction hinders the overall water splitting due to four electron transfer processes. Z-Scheme photocatalytic system could effectively promote the separation of photogenerated carriers and...

V o (oxygen vacancy)-Ce-CuO nanosheet catalysts were studied for degrading niflumic acid (NFA) by the heterogeneous Fenton-like process (HFLP). Synergetic effects of triple reaction centers with electron-rich V o and single Ce atom have demonstrated for generating hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by H...

Cyanide (CN - ) is one of the strongest and fastest-acting toxic substances, and its excessive presence will cause great harm to the environment, food and human health. Although several fluorescent probes that recognize CN - have been extensively reported, developing the fluorescent probe with...

Hollow anammox granules have been concerned in the field of anammox granular sludge technology. So far, little information is available about the effect of shear stress on hollow anammox granules. The evolution of hollow granular sludge at three shear stresses (τ = 0.014, 0.041, and 0.075 Pa)...

Despite heavy research, the efficiencies of blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs) lag behind those of their green and red cousins. One of the most critical problems is the lack of technology to obtain both high blue emission and spectral stability of perovskite in thin films. Herein, we...

We examine the effect of insider share pledges on corporate fraud. We find a positive, causal relation between share pledges by controlling shareholders and detected corporate fraud. Firms whose controlling shareholders pledge have longer fraud detection cycles and receive lighter punishments....

This paper studies a multi-product newsvendor problem with customer-driven demand substitution, where each product, once run out of stock, can be proportionally substituted by the others. This problem has been widely studied in the literature, however, due to nonconvexity and intractability,...

In most countries, Parliamentary immunity protects lawmakers from civil or criminal charges while in office, and it shields them from prosecution for their political speech or political actions. This paper presents the first empirical analysis in the literature of the impact of Parliamentary...

Coordinating the efforts of contractual parties in information security outsourcing is challenging given that a managed security service provider (MSSP) and its contractual partners cannot perfectly observe or verify each other's investment. This study examines the use of multilateral contracts...
