We experimentally explore decision-making under uncertainty using a framework that decomposes uncertainty into three distinct layers: (1) physical uncertainty, entailing inherent randomness within a given probability model, (2) model uncertainty, entailing subjective uncertainty about the...

One of the challenges in managing the Earth’s common pool resources, such as a livable climate or the supply of safe drinking water, is to motivate successive generations to make the costly effort not to deplete them out of reasons including inter-generational beneficence. In the context of...

The controlled-release urea (CRU) can provide an effective technical approach to improve the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and reduce environmental risks by formulating them to synchronize nitrogen (N) release according to the N demand of crops over the entire growing period. The evaluation of...

Do physicians behave rationally when facing a new disease? This study assesses physicians’ ambiguity attitudes towards the COVID-19 pandemic at its early breakout and the stock market using a revealed preference approach. We find that physicians exhibit significant deviation from expected...

Coal-gas-SCR is a low cost and effective strategy to eliminate NOx emission for iron and steel industry. In this work, Cu-ZSM-5-IE+CP catalyst prepared by liquid ion exchange combined with coprecipitation was filtered out for NOx abatement with the coke-oven gas (H2, CH4, and CO). By means of...

It was a challenge to prepare nickel phyllosilicate with high catalytic activity using biomass-based silica as substrate due to the low Ni content. In order to efficiently utilize the abundant silanol group in silica-contained biomass, the acid-treated rice husk without calcination (P-R) was...

For preparing superhydrophobic-superoleophilic anisotropic polypropylene (iPP) microporous membranes, a modified method namely introduced a facile peeling procedure to a synergistic operation of micromolding and thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) was developed. This method mainly involves...

On the basis of brief description of current situation of old industrial bases and primary industry of Liaoning Province, the paper introduces the general situation of agriculture-ecological zoning plan in Liaoning Province. First, the ecological bases of agricultural zoning plan are introduced...
