A controlled study was conducted to test the effect of land application with oxidation pond treatment sugar beet rinse water (SBRW) on soil chemical properties and on corn (Zea mays L.) growth and yield. Samples were collected from each plot: pre-irrigation (provided reference “background”...

This study focuses on how information acquisition and communication influence new product development through organizational capability. Our empirical results, based on sample data from 607 Chinese firms, show that external information acquisition has a positive effect on proactiveness...

Research into two important control mechanisms for managing the supply chain relationship - contracts and trust - is on the rise. However, our understanding of how they influence innovation in a firm remains rather unclear. Thus, the primary objective of this study is to examine the individual...

There is a dilemma for rapid industrializing China to balance economic growth and low carbonization. Industrial symbiosis (IS) provides a system innovation to utilize the industry to fight climate change and pursue sustainable urban development, while few attentions are paid in literatures....

The tip leakage flow not only is responsible for a significant amount of aerodynamic losses in a turbine stage, but also leads to high heat-loads on the tip region. The paper presents a numerical investigation of influences of tip injection on aero-thermal performance of the tip leakage flow for...

This paper analyzes the approximation of a general long-memory ARFIMA (p,d,q) process by a short-memory ARMA(1, 1) process. To validate this approximation, a mean square error forecast criterion is considered, and the calculation of the mean square error between the observation Xt+l of an ARFIMA...

The flow in turbomachinery is inherently unsteady, and the understanding of the flow interaction in the casing endwall region of shrouded turbine stages is a key requirement in achieving further improvements in performances. Thus, comparative numerical investigations of casing endwall flow...

<Para ID="Par1">Injection wells have been used for disposal of fluids for nearly 100 years. Design of injection well systems have advanced over the years, but environmental concerns due to the potential for migration of injected fluids remain. Fluids range from hazardous materials, to mining waste to treated...</para>

We propose a scheme, through detecting non-ideal large detuned optical cavity decay, to perform quantum teleportation for atomic inherent states. Our scheme has intrinsic robustness beyond Lamb–Dicke limit, and also has ultra-high fidelity even with practical noises which only affect the...

The establishment of evaluation index system is the key to the evaluation of intensive land use. On the basis of expounding connotation, characteristics and the principle of establishing evaluation index system, and as for the problems existing in Evaluation Regulation (Trial) of Intensive Land...
