In this paper, we consider the harmonic measure on the unit sphere Sn−1 on Rn (n≥2) and offer a two-sided estimate of precise order on the Sobolev constant with exponent p∈(1,2). As special cases for p=1 and p tending to 2, our estimates recover those in Barthe et al. (2104) for n≥3...

For an exchangeable sequence of random variables taking values in a Polish space, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the large deviation principles with respect to the [tau]-topology of the occupation measure and of the process-level empirical measures.

For stochastic differential equations with jumps, we prove that W1H transportation inequalities hold for their invariant probability measures and for their process-level laws on the right-continuous path space w.r.t. the L1-metric and uniform metric, under dissipative conditions, via Malliavin...

Governing the simultaneous propagation of N fields in optical fibers and plasmas, the inhomogeneous N-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations are, with symbolic computation, analytically investigated in this paper. As one of the important integrable properties, the explicit one- and...

The thermal management systems using EG-based phase change materials (PCMs) can provide power batteries with a proper operating temperature, slow temperature rise rate and uniform temperature distribution. In this study, a systematical investigation on the effects of thermo-physical properties...

A LiNO3/KCl-expanded graphite (EG) composite phase change material (PCM) was prepared for solar thermal energy storage application at high temperature (∼200°C). In such composite material, eutectic system LiNO3/KCl is characterized by high phase change latent heat and EG serves as the heat...

Improper operating temperature will degrade the performances of electronic components, Li-ion batteries and photovoltaic (PV) cells, which calls for a good thermal management system. In this paper, specific attention is paid to the thermal management systems based on the phase change materials...

This book focuses on experiences with the Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) of 2007 in China. It uses carefully-chosen case studies to examine how the competition authorities in China discuss cases and how they use economic reasoning in their decision-making process.

An opposed-piston hydraulic free piston engine operating with homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion, has been proposed by State Key Laboratory of Engines as a means of significantly improving the IC engine’s cycle thermal efficiency and lowering exhaust emissions. Single and...

Knocking combustion in spark-ignition (SI) engines is an abnormal combustion phenomenon which can constrain the engine performance and thermal efficiency. It can also result in severe permanent engine damage under certain operating conditions. This paper systematically reviews the engine knock...
