A dynamic evaporator model of air source heat pump (ASHP), considering the ratio of the latent heat to sensible heat of wet air, is presented to analyze the performance of ASHP under frosting. The performance parameters, such as the heating capacity, COP and the outlet temperature of compressor,...

Purpose In China, a major grain producer, rice losses during harvest cannot be ignored. The purpose of this paper is to assess the extent of rice harvest losses in major grain-producing areas in China by a sampling survey, and to further analyze the main factors influencing rice harvest losses...

This article describes how quickly picking up some valuable information from massive RFID event stream often faces with the problem of long detection time, high memory consumption and low detection efficiency due to its stream characteristics of volume, velocity, variety, value and veracity. Aim...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate farmers’ intentions to comply with pesticide application standards based on an extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Design/methodology/approach: Built on a TPB framework, it was examined how perceived behavioural control (PBC),...

Wind resource assessment in coastal areas is an important concern to develop offshore wind power. The high complexity of coastal environment entails the need for new tools that can describe the spatial variability of wind. In this paper, a distribution study of offshore wind power in China using...
