Prior research shows that financial reporting quality (FRQ) is positively related to investment efficiency for large U.S. publicly traded companies. We examine the role of FRQ in private firms from emerging markets, a setting in which extant research suggests that FRQ would be less conducive to...

An in-depth comprehension of special heat transfer(HT) properties of supercritical CO 2 in microchannels is a key point to achieve compactness and miniaturization of microchannel heat sinks for small electronic devices. Based on theoretical analysis and simulation verification, this paper...

This research proposes an Activity Pattern embedded Air Pollution Exposure Model (AP2EM), based on survey data of when, where, and how people spend their time and indoor/outdoor ratios for microenvironments. AP2EM integrates random forest and agent-based approaches to simulate the stochastic...

BiOBr/FeWO 4 with p-n heterostructure were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method, and cooperated with K 2 S 2 O 8 to perform ultrasonic degradation of Tetracycline (TC). The experiment was performed for analytical characterization by X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), X-ray diffraction...

Rapid phase change of hydrate with high gas storage capacity is very important for the application of natural gas hydrates technology. Three pieces of open-cell copper foam (CF) with different pore densities (or pores per inch, PPI) herein were immersed in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution...

Electric power grids are changing from traditional power systems to modern smart integrated power systems. The microgrid (MG) plays a vital role in this process through the integration of distributed renewable energy resources (RESs) and energy storage systems (ESSs). However, wind and solar...

The present study provides a comprehensive comparative investigation on feedstock pyrolysis and char gasification performance of typical forestry biomass obtained from Northeast Asia. Firstly, the physicochemical properties were tested and compared in detail. Then, the pyrolysis experiments were...
