A global modeling method is developed to describe the relationship between multi-type parameters and fuel cell performance, which significantly contributes to efficient performance prediction of fuel cell system. The multi-type parameters include operating parameters, geometric parameters of the...

Accurate crop growth and radiation use efficiency (RUE) measurements under optimal growth conditions are required to predict grain yield near the genetic growth potential and estimate climate change effects on crop production. Research was conducted to quantify RUE of maize during the whole...

Straw returning has been widely used as nitrogen (N) reduction measure in the North China Plain in recent years. But, little is known of the optimal plant density and N application rate of cotton under straw returning by now. In the present study, a short season cotton SCRC66 was used to study...

Micro-ductile fracture mechanism of a newly-produced meta-steel with a distinct auxetic effect is investigated mainly by performing in-situ X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) experiments. Conventional Q235 steel is chosen as a reference. The newly-produced meta-steel demonstrates a...

In recent years, the emergence of Y-series non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) has received extensive attention in the field of organic solar cells (OSCs). Among various structural features, the side chains play a key role in fine-tuning the molecular properties of Y-series NFAs that can affect the...
