The rank list model is a general non-parametric choice model that provides an intuitive and flexible framework to capture rational consumers' preferences. The rank list model assumes that each customer has a fixed and consistent preference ranking over all products and chooses the product that...

In this work, [P(W 3 O 10 ) 4 ]-g-C 3 N 4 composite catalyst is prepared from phosphotungstic acid and thin-layer carbon nitride at high temperature, which can efficiently remove Rhodamine B (RhB) organic wastewater by photocatalysis. The results of UV-vis, TPC, PL and EIS tests show that the...

A major challenge concerning a mixed traffic flow system, composed of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and human driven vehicles (HDVs), is how to improve overall efficiency and safety by assigning appropriate control strategies to CAVs. Multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) is a...

The relationship between Mn-Co-Ni-O ceramic slurry formulations and their volatility, rheology and stability, as well as the electrical properties of free-standing ultrathin sheets made from slurries were systematically investigated. The ceramic slurry with high solid content of 60%, viscosity...

With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, fast charging and fast discharging are gradually popularized, which puts forward higher requirements for power battery thermal management. In this paper, a novel power battery thermal management system (BTM) with emulsion as coolant and...

This study investigates whether and how a firm’s greenwashing — the gap between its “green talk” and “green walk” — affects bond pricing. Using 3,810 public bonds issued by U.S. firms, we find a positive relationship between greenwashing and the cost of bonds. We identify the...

We propose a method of measuring the comparability of reported accounting numbers from the perspective of creditors. Our measure reflects the relationship between market variables related to default probabilities and key accounting numbers of interest to lenders. We demonstrate that this measure...
