Vitrimers are a novel generation of spacecraft materials. However, how to improve the atomic oxygen (AO) resistance of vitrimers remains un-explored, although it is critical for extending the lifetime of spacecraft at low earth orbit. Herein, we fabricate a series of AO resistance epoxy...

To estimate Brillouin frequency shift with high accuracy and less computational burden, the mixed moment is used to estimate it for the distributed optical fiber sensor. Its computational burden is much less than that of the typical algorithms. Meanwhile, it is free of curve fitting and...

Copper sulfides (Cu x S) have been considered as candidates for sodium ion battery (SIB) anodes because they are environmentally friendly and have large theoretical capacity. Whereas, the cycle stability and capacity of Cu x S are still challenge for their practical applications. Here,...

This paper seeks to quantify existing financial barriers among East African Community (EAC) member countries based on analysis of each member country’s foreign exchange market. The primary contribution of this paper is the generation of an aggregate measure of financial barriers for the three...

The rapid and widespread development of innovations in mobile services is changing societies and improving lives around the world. Due to lagging adoption, many of these new innovations have yet failed to generate revenue that was expected by mobile network operators, application and content...

This study examines the effects of reputation in the nascent but rapidly growing online labor markets. In these markets contract winners (vendors) provide clients with customized products such as computer software, business plans and artistic designs. The products are used primarily for business...

Organizations employ various risk-mitigation strategies to cope with the uncertainty in marketing new products. In the motion picture industry, an important strategy is to cast star actors and actresses in movies. The ultimate box office success, however, depends on multiple stakeholders...

Third-party product reviews (TPRs) have become ubiquitous in many industries. Aided by communication technologies, particularly on the Internet, TPRs are widely available to consumers, managers, and investors. The authors examine whether and how TPRs of new products influence the financial value...
