Heat exchanger is an indispensable part in many fields such as aeronautic, astronautic, electronic device, energy and chemical industry. Due to the increasing heat flux, latticework channel featured with higher heat transfer rate is introduced and investigated. According to our best knowledge,...

This paper introduces functional data analysis to continuously investigate the dynamic impact of carbon disclosure on corporate value. First, we construct a carbon disclosure evaluation index based on functional entropy weight. Second, we employ functional regression to quantify and visualize...

There is a long-running debate on whether and how hot temperatures fuel conflicts. We focus on an important yet overlooked conflict type, labor unrest, and provide evidence from China. We show that extreme heat raises the probability of labor unrest by 15.7%, leading to a two-fold increase in...

We study the psychological bias underlying the decision to become an entrepreneur in the online business context. Using entrepreneurs affiliated with Taobao Marketplace, the world’s largest online shopping platform, as our sample, we find that people who observe the emergence of successful...

The orange-emitting Ca5-x(PO4)2SiO4:xSm3+ (C5PSO:Sm3+) phosphor was prepared via a simple solid-state method, and the charge compensators A+ (A = Li, Na and K) was codoped into C5PSO:Sm3+ for improving the luminescence performance. The influences of Sm3+/A+ codoping as well as Sm3+ doping on the...

In this paper, we develop Bayesian hierarchical distributed lag models for estimating associations between daily variations in summer ozone levels and daily variations in cardiovascular and respiratory (CVDRESP) mortality counts for 19 U.S. large cities included in the National Morbidity...
