To measure the propulsive performance of a high-frequency PDRE (pulse detonation rocket engine), an experimental facility was established. Utilizing the valveless mode, the PDRE was operated without the purge process at a maximum operating frequency of 110 Hz successfully. In this study,...

This paper uses a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), a method to estimate the adjustment speed of variables toward their long-run relationship in the short run, to investigate the dynamic relationship between the prices of EUA, coal, natural gas and electricity futures. It finds that there is...

In this comparative study, we conduct an empirical analysis on entrepreneurial intentions of college students in China and Pakistan based upon Shapero's entrepreneurial event model. Based on our empirical results, we suggest constructing a holistic policy with active cooperation from the...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the value relevance of intangible assets, including goodwill and other types of intangibles in the pre- and post-adoption periods of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Most importantly, this paper investigates whether the value...

In traditional PDRE (pulse detonation rocket engines), mechanical valves are used for periodic supply control and a purge process is widely used to form a buffer zone to prevent fresh fuel-oxidizer mixture from pre-ignition. However, both of them increase hardware complexity and limit increase...

This paper reviews the historical development of accounting regulation in Iraq and analyzes, from an institutional perspective, both the decision to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and the factors likely to impact the expansion of IFRS application beyond listed...
