This study proposes and investigates a novel VCES (Vehicle power and cooling/heating Cogeneration Energy System), including a topping vehicle engine subsystem, and a bottoming waste-heat recovery subsystem which uses the zeotropic working fluid. The various grade exhaust and coolant waste-heat...

This study analyses the integrated characteristics of a CPS (combined power system) consisting of a topping diesel engine and a bottoming ORC (organic Rankine cycle). Two models (an integrated and a cascaded CPS model) for the same CPS have been developed based on the experimental data. The...

Air-cooled power plants have been extensively applied in the dry areas with the ACSC (air-cooled steam condensers) to reject the waste heat from the turbine exhaust. However, the performance of the relevant condensers is sensitive to the meteorological conditions due to its exposing in the...

Poisson regression is important in the analysis of longitudinal count data. However, the variance of responses is often much greater than the sample mean in practice, contradicting the Poisson model. To solve this overdispersion problem, negative binomial regression model was introduced by...

China's National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee have not yet passed a national wetland protection law, nor has the State Council passed national regulations on wetland protection. The lack of national law on this subject matter poses great challenges to “effectively regulate...

Purpose: Previous studies examined the effect of inter-organizational collaboration relationships on organizational innovation. However, most focused on the configuration of the network from the static network perspective, and few examined the influence of network structure stability on an...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of two dimensions of relational risks, namely, opportunism behavior and interest conflict, on knowledge flow and to explore the moderating effect of network power among these untested relationships and to examine the positive...

Purpose: Collaborative projects are useful tools for learning and innovation. However, there is an associated cost – knowledge leakage, which is theoretically linked to challenging organizational competitiveness. The purpose of this study is to examine whether knowledge-oriented human...
