We prepared gradated nano-transient layers at different interfaces between deposited film and substrates by high-intensity pulsed ion beam (HIPIB) irradiation. The deposited film was (Al–Si) alloy and substrates were Ni and Ti, respectively. The gradated nano-transient layers at different...

An experiment system made up of a membrane absorption unit and a membrane vacuum regeneration unit was set up. Ionic liquids (ILs), 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]) and 1-(3-aminopropyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([apmim][BF4]) as two absorbents for CO2...

We propose an explanatory and computational theory of transformative discoveries in science. The theory is derived from a recurring theme found in a diverse range of scientific change, scientific discovery, and knowledge diffusion theories in philosophy of science, sociology of science, social...

Through the overview of main problems existing in chives production, its current situation and history, the thesis puts forward countermeasures for developing chives industrialization in Xiaogang Town, Xiaogan City.

Visual sensitivity decreases with age, and this presumably has an impact on face recognition. However, the relationship between aging in basic visual processing and in the sensory and cognitive mechanisms mediating face recognition is not well understood. Face detection, a foundational step in...

China’s urban agricultural development takes on stage evolution, and functional structure, customer structure, industrial organization, innovation activity, spatial form and industrial value of each stage has significant difference. Using the system variable analysis method, this paper...

Information technology range (IT range), or the strategic information flow regarding a manufacturing firm's products, production, logistics and suppliers, has long been recognised as a key determinant of a firm's competitive advantage. Various studies also show that flexible suppliers,...

This research explores the mechanism through which IT infrastructure enables superior firm performance by empirically examining the links among IT-enabled sharing capability, supply chain flexibilities (as measured by a manufacturing firm׳s product development flexibility, production...
