With rapid economic growth, China is facing tremendous pressures of emission–reduction and serious income inequality issues. The existing research is concerned with the relationships between income inequality and CO2 emissions in recent years, but little attention has been paid to the regional...

In this paper, a hierarchical coordinated charging framework for PEVs across multiple aggregators is proposed. First, each aggregator computes its aggregate charging load boundaries based on customer charging requirements and local transformer capacity limits. With the load boundaries of...

During anaerobic fermentation of waste activated sludge (WAS), the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially propionic acid which is considered as the most preferred carbon source for enhanced biological phosphorus removal, can be improved by controlling the suitable mass ratio...

High-performance TiO2–polythiophene hybrid solar cells are reported. Metal-free organic dye (D102) is employed to modify the TiO2/polythiophene interface. Results indicate that interfacial engineering and dye engineering are crucial for device performance.

The oxygen enriched combustion of diesel engines can reduce smoke emission and increase engine thermal efficiency; however it can also lead to an increase of NO emission. In this paper, experiment was conducted on a turbocharged direct injection diesel engine, and oxygen-enriched and EGR...
