Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the interaction effect of moral identity and construal level on consumer green consumption and the mediating role of pro-environmental self-accountability. Design/methodology/approach: The authors examined the hypotheses in two experiment...

Using the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we investigate the more d-electrons doping effects on the electronic structure and magnetism of the parent inverse Heusler alloy Ti<Subscript>2</Subscript>CoAl by the substitution of Nb and V atoms for Ti(A) and Ti(B) atoms locating at the two...</subscript>

Modeling land-use change is a prerequisite to understanding the complexity of land-use-change patterns. This paper presents a novel method to model urban land-use change using support-vector machines (SVMs), a new generation of machine learning algorithms used in classification and regression...

The systematic, transparent and accurate on-line energy information of the production process is quite the basis of mill energy management and conservation. An Energy Management System (EMS) was built according to the characteristics of the energy usage in a typical newsprint paper mill. The EMS...

Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold and [mu] the distribution of the diffusion process generated by where Z is a C1-vector field. When is bounded below and Z has, for instance, linear growth, the transportation-cost inequality with respect to the uniform distance is established for [mu] on...

We propose a reinforcement learning (RL) approach to solve the continuous-time mean-variance portfolio selection problem in a regime-switching market, where the market regime is unobservable. To encourage exploration for learning, we formulate an exploratory stochastic control problem with an...
