This article suggests a detailed comparison of 7 working pairs intended for use in solar adsorption cooling systems. The performance analysis was based on two indicators: adsorption capacity and solar coefficient of performance. Based on a reformed form of the Dubinin–Astakhov equation, a 3D...

This paper proposes a novel, model-based control strategy for absorption cooling systems. First, a small-scale absorption chiller was modelled using artificial neural networks (ANNs). This model takes into account inlet and outlet temperatures as well as the flow rates of the external water...

The paper investigates the linkages between customer service, customer satisfaction, and firm performance in the US airline industry. In particular, the moderating effects of market concentration and firm dominance on the service–satisfaction–performance relationship are examined. Our major...

A current approach to the empirical study of the relationship between affect and the performance of athletes before and during a competition is idiographic in nature. Affect-performance zones are estimated for each athlete based on a sufficient number of paired affect and performance...

A critical concern for firms pursuing global expansion strategies involves facility site evaluation and selection. For expansion to be successful, corporations must identify countries and facility sites that offer a good fit with the firm′s overall corporate strategy. Unfortunately, little has...
