Molecularly imprinted membranes (MIMs) are promising in water treatment because of its predetermined selectivity, but the limitations of trade-off relationship between permeability and selectivity, as well as membrane failure hinder their wider applications. Herein, we report a visible light...

Purpose - This paper aims to examine how multinational corporations respond to environmental turbulence by adopting a flexible supply chain (SC). Design/methodology/approach - This study adopts a case study in the medical industry to identify effective strategic approaches by taking advantage of...

The study of evapotranspiration (ET) is of great theoretical and practical significance for understanding the regional ecological and environmental problems and hydrological cycle processes. The Grain for Green Project (GFGP) in the Chinese Loess Plateau was used as the study area. Based on...

This study examines the psychological effect of public opinion on extreme environmental events. Using the sandstorm that hit China in the spring of 2021 as a natural experiment, we measure public opinion based on daily microblogs related to the environment published on Sina Weibo and show that...

In power systems, although the inertia energy in power sources can partly cover power unbalances caused by load disturbance or renewable energy fluctuation, it is still hard to maintain the frequency deviation within acceptable ranges. However, with the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technique, electric...

In this study we examine the impact of entrepreneur personal values on the organizational structure of small business. The leadership imperative theory suggests that entrepreneur's personal traits will have an impact on his or her style of management. We propose that the way a small business is...

Copulas have become a popular tool in multivariate modeling successfully applied in many fields. A good open-source implementation of copulas is much needed for more practitioners to enjoy the joy of copulas. This article presents the design, features, and some implementation details of the R...

This paper describes the core features of the R package geepack, which implements the generalized estimating equations (GEE) approach for fitting marginal generalized linear models to clustered data. Clustered data arise in many applications such as longitudinal data and repeated measures. The...
