Following the substantial damage from the financial crisis in 2008, can China's auto industry successfully take up new challenges and grasp the opportunities ahead? First and foremost, this paper summarises the ways that the financial crisis has impacted upon China's economy. By analysing the...

Gene co-expression networks are increasingly used to explore the system-level functionality of genes. The network construction is conceptually straightforward: nodes represent genes and nodes are connected if the corresponding genes are significantly co-expressed across appropriately chosen...

Index decomposition analysis (IDA) is a popular tool for studying changes in energy consumption over time in a country or region. This specific application of IDA, which may be called temporal decomposition analysis, has been extended by researchers and analysts to study variations in energy...

The only comprehensive study comparing structural decomposition analysis (SDA) and index decomposition analysis (IDA) was conducted around 2000. There have since been new developments in both techniques in energy and emission studies. These developments have been studied systematically for IDA...

The Fisher index and its extensions have been used in multiplicative decomposition analysis applied to energy and emissions. In this study, we extend the concept of “additive decomposition of the Fisher index” in the national accounts and propose an attribution analysis of the generalized...

Energy flow diagrams in the form of Sankey diagrams have been identified as a useful tool in energy management and performance improvement. However there is a lack of understanding on how such diagrams should be designed and developed for different applications and objectives. At the national...
