We demonstrate a simple high-throughput single-cell approach that exploits the ultrahigh brightness and non-invasive nature of synchrotron infrared beam to characterize strains of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803 (S. 6803) constructed with altered metabolic traits affecting the acyl-CoA...

It is important to improve the heat utilization efficiency for the waste heat as well as the geothermal heat because both of them will exhaust to the environment or flow back to the ground directly after the energy was recovered. In order to achieve that, a novel cascading cycle driven by the...

In order to more truly reflect the change of livelihood diversity of peasants, hilly region of southwestern China with relatively remote location and backward economy is selected as the investigation region. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) is adopted to conduct field investigation in order...

Chinese Low-rent housing subsidy has been increasing year by year. However, it will be a very one-sided view if we only take the increasing number of subsidy into consideration when evaluating the effects of subsidy policy on low-rent housing lessees. Thus we studied on the impact of subsidy...

We consider a supply chain comprising a manufacturer and a retailer. The manufacturer supplies a product to the retailer, while the retailer sells the product bundled with after-sales service to consumers in a fully competitive market. The sales volume is affected by the retailer’s...

Exploitation of natural gas hydrate is expecting to be an important strategic way to solve the problem of energy depletion. Understanding the effectiveness of the well configuration plays a pivotal role in gas production from the hydrate reservoir. This study evaluates the methane hydrate...

As supply chain risks refer to the risks transmitted among supply chain members and supply chain management (SCM) is concerned with close collaboration among chain members to enhance the chain׳s overall performance, we argue that we need to use an SCM perspective in supply chain risk management...

The optimal layout problem of circle group in a circular container with performance constraints of equilibrium belongs to a class of NP-hard problem. The key obstacle of solving this problem is the lack of an effective global optimization method. We convert the circular packing problem with...

With a huge energy demand, the small hydropower (SHP) has undertaken a rapid development in the past six decades in China. Especially in the recent three decades, the increasing environmental pressure has promoted its development rate and the significance of its management and operation. The...
