Climate change poses great risks for China, which makes adaptation an essential response. However, adaptation planning and implementation are still at a preliminary stage with respect to the theoretical framework and methodology. This article focuses on the status, problems and basic needs as...

Hydropower is a clean and renewable energy source. Considering the economic, technical and environmental benefits of hydropower, most countries give priority to its development. China has the richest hydro resources on the planet with a total theoretical hydropower potential of 694 GW....

According to the demand of exchanging texts between Chinese and German government, Chinese experts commenced the demonstration study of "urban energy supplying project based on the environmental demand and sustainable development" with the technology support of the experts of German technology...

This paper proposes a new four-dimensional continuous autonomous hyperchaotic system, which is constructed based on a modified Lü system by introducing a nonlinear state feedback controller. The detailed dynamical behaviors of this hyperchaotic system are further investigated, including...

The relationship between investment in R&D and productivity growth have been well documented in the literature. So far little research has been done on this topic for China, in part due to data limitations. Using the perpetual inventory method (PIM), this paper first estimates the R&D stock in...

Linear mixed effects model (LMEM) is efficient in modeling repeated measures longitudinal data. However, little research has been done in developing goodness-of-fit measures that can evaluate the models, particularly those that can be interpreted in an absolute sense without referencing a null...

The application of wind energy in electric power systems is growing rapidly due to enhanced public concerns to adverse environmental impacts and escalation in energy costs associated with the use of conventional energy sources. Electric power from wind energy is quite different from that of...

In this work, a convenient and efficient procedure to control the morphologies of Au nanocrystals has been reported. The Au nanospheres are generated in polyvinyl-pyrrolidone/ethanol glycol system through a thermal chemical method. However, by adding a small amount of K2CO3 which influences the...
