Resource-based cities were once the backbone of Chinese economy for decades. When natural resources were depleted, however, these cities become negative assets of China and urgently need sustainable transition. Given the vast number of resource-exhausted cities in China, their success...

Manganese nitride films have been successfully fabricated by the technique of plasma enhance atomic layer deposition (PEALD). The process employs bis( N , N' -di- tert -butylacetamidinate)manganese (Mn(amd) 2 ) as manganese precursor, and ammonia plasma as a coreactant. With a typical PEALD...

The development of functionalized polymer-based filament enables the fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D-printed materials or structures with a wide range of unique functions. This work explores the use of MAPbX 3 (MA = CH 3 NH 3 , X = Cl, Br, I or mixture of them) perovskite quantum dots (PQDs)...

A heterogeneous expectations model is provided, where private agents facing policy ignorance have to learn about the underlying fundamentals via a signal extraction problem. The model is estimated on a U.S. data set using Bayesian approach. The empirical results imply that the improvement in...

Traffic emission problems and emerging electric vehicle technologies attract researchers’ attention. In order to manage traffic emissions and efficiency associated with different power source vehicles, this study investigates the optimal design of charging stations and low emission zone (LEZ)...

Polluted stormwater (PSW) treatment is increasingly urgent with the existence of multiple pollutants from non-point-pollution sites. In this work, alfalfa biochar (AF) loaded with Mg/Fe layered double hydroxide (Mg/Fe-LDH) was successfully synthesized to remove trace metal(loid)s from...
