This paper introduces the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model into the comprehensive economic loss assessment due to rainstorm, using Beijing as an example. The article has constructed a regional storm disaster CGE model to measure the impacts made by rainstorm occurence on sectors and...

The Performance Management (PM) is one of the important approaches to improve the benefit achievements of power industry; however, the PM of electric power industry in China is still in the initial stage, under which it should be concerned as one of the most popular issues of electric power...

This study presents a model-based optimization strategy for an actual chiller driven dehumidifier of liquid desiccant dehumidification system operating with lithium chloride solution. By analyzing the characteristics of the components, energy predictive models for the components in the...

In this paper we analyse aggregate and firm level systemic risk for US and European banks from 2004 to 2012. We observe that common systemic risk indicators are primarily driven by firm size which implies an overriding concern for “too-big-to-fail” institutions. However, smaller banks may...

With the rapid development of the national economy of China, an increasing need for transportation facilities is becoming a serious challenge that the existing traffic system has to meet. Thus, the highway transportation capacity development level assessment has important significance in theory...

This paper describes the development of a combined ejector-vapor compression cycle (EVCC) that uses working fluid R134a and air-cooled condensers for both sub-cycles. A large amount of experiments have been conducted to test the influence of the evaporating, generating and condensing...

This paper presents a model-based optimization strategy for vapor compression refrigeration cycle. Through analyzing each component characteristics and interactions within the cycle, the optimization problem is formulated as minimizing the total operating cost of the energy consuming devices...

This paper studies dynamic behaviour and control design of a hydrogen membrane reforming (HMR) power cycle based on economic measures. The HMR power cycle is a novel pre-combustion capture power cycle for electrical power production which incurs less of an energy penalty than current post...

The circulation pump in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) increases the pressure of the liquid working fluid from low condensing pressure to high evaporating pressure, and the expander utilizes the pressure difference to generate work. A portion of the expander output power is used to offset the...

Perceived organizational support (POS) is viewed as an important explanatory framework for understanding the relationship between employees and the workplace, and is regarded by some researchers as central in understanding job-related attitudes and behaviors of employees. However, less research...
