A firm׳s investment in corporate social responsibility (CSR) builds a positive image of caring for social good and imposes additional costs on executives׳ informed trading, which is widely perceived self-serving. We thus expect executives of CSR-conscious firms to be more likely to refrain...

Many networks of interest in the science, including social networks, computer networks and the World Wide Web, are found to be divided naturally into communities or groups. The problem of detecting communities is one of the outstanding issues in the study of network systems. Based on the...

Extension multi-factorial evaluation method was used in water quality early-earning in Yincungang River based on MATLAB. The results showed that water quality in summer was safe, while that in other three seasons were in pre-warning state with the order of winter>spring>autumn.

A new process to generate multiple thermal fluids by supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) was proposed to enhance oil recovery. An inner preheating transpiring wall reactor for SCWO was designed and tested to avoid plugging in the preheating section. Hot water (400–600°C) was used as...

This paper compares the relevance of subjective age as a criterion to segment the fashion market in four countries: China, South Korea, France and USA.Following the validation of a new invariant scale between cultures, the effects of subjective age on innovativeness and consumer media habits are...

This study investigated which age measures, independent or interdependent, were better for cross-cultural consumer research. Specifically, it assessed the fit between the “actual” and “ideal” self-concept model within the framework of self-construal theory by examining the actual and...

Understanding the link between greenspace patterns and land surface temperature is very important for mitigating the urban heat island (UHI) effect and is also useful for planners and decision-makers for providing a sustainable design for urban greenspace. Although coupling remote sensing data...

CANDLE (<strong>C</strong>onstant <strong>A</strong>xial shape of <strong>N</strong>eutron flux, nuclide number densities and power shape <strong>D</strong>uring <strong>L</strong>ife of <strong>E</strong>nergy producing reactor) reactors have been intensively researched in the last decades [1–6]. Research shows that this kind of reactor is highly economical, safe and efficiently saves...
