Based on CO2 acceptor gasification technology, a biomass anaerobic gasification technology for H2 production was proposed. Utilizing thermodynamic equilibrium calculation software FactSage 5.2, the rules of biomass/CaO/H2O and C/CaCO3/air reaction system involved in this H2 production technology...

The prediction of high extremes in sustained water level is very important for coastal engineering design and planning. The recorded historical water level datasets in Colombo, Sri Lanka, are not long enough for the traditional frequency analysis in predicting extreme water levels, such as 50-,...

Based on the Partial Distribution [F. Dai, 2001] and the theory of Development Power [F. Dai, 2004], this paper discusses the power model of relation between development power (DP) and productivity. The power model also supports the hypothesis [F. Dai, 2005] that there are three kinds of energy...

Traveling salesman problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization model studied in the operations research community for nearly half a century, yet there is surprisingly little literature that addresses uncertainty and multiple objectives in it. A novel TSP variation, called uncertain...

Taking the grape theme sightseeing garden of Hebei Academy of Forestry Sciences for example, this article discusses the suitable edible and wine making cultivation varieties, vineyard frame and cultivation techniques in the grape theme sightseeing garden, from the perspective of planning and...

Cycle-by-cycle variations in some parameters of the combustion and performance during a dual-fuel premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combustion process were investigated on a modified direct injection diesel engine with dimethyl ether (DME) as premixing fuel. Experiments were conducted...

In this study, effects of DME (dimethyl ether) pre-mixing ratio and cooled external EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) rate on combustion, performance and emission characteristics of a DME-diesel dual fuel PCCI (premixed charge compression ignition) engine were investigated in a 2105 engine. PCCI...

This paper attempts to explore the effectiveness of the seller reputation mechanism by an empirical study using online sales data collected from TaoBao.com. A comparison analysis of seller reputation metrics of TaoBao, Amazon, and jd are carried out before the selection of the seller reputation...

Irrigation water availability is a main driver which determines cropping patterns for an irrigation area. Irrigation water availability will potentially reduce due to changes in climate and irrigation extraction limits. Cropping patterns should be adjusted to meet this challenge. This study...
