As part of a comprehensive regional or global maritime trade modeling framework, it is often necessary to determine the modal share of commodity flow between countries. Typically, this is resolved by either using a constant empirical value (such as the commodity value-weight ratio) or applying...

<title>Abstract</title> Malaysia is one of the few countries in the world that provides a fuel subsidy to consumers. Due to the recent economic crisis, the Malaysian Government decided to revise its fuel subsidization policy from a fixed price subsidy to a floating price subsidy dependent on global oil demand....

Hot dry rock geothermal energy is almost inexhaustible green energy. However, it makes slow progress in practice due to slow theory development. In this study, a three dimension thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled model of fractured media was established to simulate the extraction of HDR (Hot dry...

Borehole stability at high temperature and high in-situ stresses is the key to Hot Dry Rock geothermal energy extraction. Upon drilling completion, borehole stability, its deformation and failure critical condition will be significant in deep HDR engineering design and construction. Using high...

The goal of present study was to translate and validate the Social Well-being Scale (SWBS) with a Chinese sample, first developed by (Keyes in Social Psychology Quarterly 61(2):121–140, 1998). We examined the internal consistency, convergent validity and the measurement invariance across...

The Chinese government has been exploring various paths to find a direction that better suits China's national conditions during the past 60 years. Meanwhile, a series of political and economic events and policy transformations have had different effects on the port industry. This article...

This study presents the auxiliary damping control with the reactive power loop on the rotor-side converter of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms to depress the sub-synchronous resonance oscillations in nearby turbogenerators. These generators are connected to a series...

The core is a vital concept in cooperative game theory and has been widely used in analyzing alliance’s stability. It is especially interesting to apply core theory in liner shipping market due to the latter’s exceptional characteristic of non-homogeneous cost curves as well as divisible and...

Traffic from land transport is one of the largest sources of negative externalities in most urban environments. High economic growth rates and rising urban incomes have led to high ownership of motor vehicles, particularly the automobile. The inability of governments to demand-manage the growth,...

In recent years the logistic needs have created tremendous pressure on the ‘hard’ transport infrastructure. Logistics and the harness of information technology are the key facilitators of mobility. The Chinese logistics market is still in its infancy and creates tremendous opportunities for...
