In this study, a PbO2 plate electrode was synthesized and optimized for the electrochemical treatment application of waste activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment . The sludge dewaterability and mass reduction with different electrolysis time and voltage were quantified to...

Background: Routinely collected health data are increasingly used for clinical or epidemiological research. However, no study has systematically reviewed the temporal trends of the number of publications, databases, characteristics of study cohorts, methodology, outcomes, data governance,...

This paper studies how investing in venture capital (VC) affects the entrepreneurial outcomes of individual limited partners (LPs). Using comprehensive administrative data on entrepreneurial activities and VC fundraising and investments in China, we first document that individual LPs, on...

Hydrogen as a future energy carrier can be used for grid power peak shaving and valley filling and has thus attracted widespread attention. However, how to provide high-temperature heat for water electrolysis is an urgent challenge that needs to be overcome. This paper adopts two gas-solid...

In this paper, we construct an intermediate distribution linking the Gaussian and the Cauchy distribution. We provide the probability density function and the corresponding characteristic function of the intermediate distribution. Because many kinds of distributions have no moment, we introduce...

"We study the capital structure decisions of listed firms in China between 1992 and 2001. The Chinese market exhibits high information asymmetry, phenomenal growth, highly concentrated ownership, and a lack of external market for corporate control. We find that Chinese firms use little long-term...
