The aim of current study is to optimize the mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance of plasma-sprayed LaPO 4 /8YSZ coatings with thickness of 1mm based on a modified Vickers indentation method. As the LaPO 4 content increased from 1wt% to 30wt%, the increasing porosity of the...

We study the revenue-maximizing mechanism when a buyer’s value evolves endogenously because of learning-by-consuming. A seller sells one unit of a divisible good, while the buyer relies on his private, rough valuation to choose his first-stage consumption level. Consuming more leads to a more...

Photovoltaic (PV) semiconductor degrades in performance due to temperature rise. A super thin-conductive thermal absorber is therefore developed to regulate the PV working temperature by retrofitting the existing PV panel into the photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) panel. This article presented the...

The construction industry consumes a significant amount of resources. It is an urgent need to promote green building (GB) practices . Aimed at solving the problem of energy-saving, propaganda and government subsidy strategies in the green building supply chain (GBSC), a differential game model...
