Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted increasing interest in large-scale energy storage systems due to their low cost, high safety, and high volumetric energy density. Manganese-based materials are one of most promising aqueous zinc-ion battery cathode materials but...

BiFeO 3 is the most essential single-phase multiferroic material at room temperature. In this work, the crystal structure, dielectric, ferroelectric and magnetic properties of CaTiO 3 and Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 co-substituted BiFeO 3 ceramics prepared by standard solid-state reaction method were...

Brand names and brand equity are recognized as important intangible assets among firm managers in the global food supply chain. This analysis investigates the long-run potential of brand equity among food processors to actually create real options for a firm's management. The empirical analysis...

We in this paper argue that the Chinese official poverty line substantially misestimates theactual rural poverty situations. We recalculate the rural poverty lines following Ravallion (1994) with rural household survey data of China¡¯s two provinces, Hubei and Inner Mongolia. The results...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to yield more plausible rural poverty lines for China and then assess the determinants of rural poverty using these newly revised rural poverty lines. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper it is argued that the Chinese official poverty line...

This paper measures rural poverty in Hubei Province and Inner Mongolia in China. The poverty lines we derived by Ravallion's method differ from the official Chinese poverty lines. The official pan-country poverty line underestimates rural poverty in Hubei Province and overestimates rural poverty...

Purpose This paper aims to analyze and model consumer behavior on hotel online search interest in the USA. Design/methodology/approach Discrete Fourier transform was used to analyze the periodicity of hotel search behavior in the USA by using Google Trends data. Based on the obtained frequency...
