This study investigates the impact of the Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G) scores on abnormal returns (AR) and cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) of energy companies issuing green and conventional bonds in China and Japan. The bond and returns related data for each company was...

This article describes how a baseline shift is a slow change in the orientation of the baseline over time. It often exists in the process of signals sampling, e g. ECG, TLC and so on. In order to filter the baseline shift, a combination method of wavelet transform and an adaptive filter is...

A HFPE (hydraulic free-piston engine) has been proposed by the SKLE (State Key Library of Engines) in Tianjin University as a mean to significantly improving the IC (Internal Combustion) engines' cycle thermal efficiency and lowering exhaust emissions. As the piston dynamic and the cylinder...

An opposed hydraulic free piston engine is under design at the Tianjin University in China because of the advantages of this engine compared to the conventional engine. The main challenges presented by such engines are the control of the piston motion and synchronization. This study investigates...
