This paper aims to analyse the competitive equilibrium of Hong Kong international port after the cooperation among terminal operators. To achieve our research objective, a comprehensive analysis framework is proposed. We assume that the port services provided by Shenzhen and Hong Kong have...

The choice of port is one of the topics that most interest researchers. Port selection behaviour may vary depending on port user perspectives. Prior studies have attempted to determine user preferences for certain port choice factors, but there are only few studies in developing countries, such...

Purpose: This study aims to investigate how market orientation (MO) motivates firms to develop business model innovation and how such effects are moderated by strategic flexibility. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, a questionnaire-based survey was undertaken to test the proposed...

Hot dry rock geothermal energy is almost inexhaustible green energy. However, it makes slow progress in practice due to slow theory development. In this study, a three dimension thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled model of fractured media was established to simulate the extraction of HDR (Hot dry...

Borehole stability at high temperature and high in-situ stresses is the key to Hot Dry Rock geothermal energy extraction. Upon drilling completion, borehole stability, its deformation and failure critical condition will be significant in deep HDR engineering design and construction. Using high...

The goal of present study was to translate and validate the Social Well-being Scale (SWBS) with a Chinese sample, first developed by (Keyes in Social Psychology Quarterly 61(2):121–140, 1998). We examined the internal consistency, convergent validity and the measurement invariance across...

The Chinese government has been exploring various paths to find a direction that better suits China's national conditions during the past 60 years. Meanwhile, a series of political and economic events and policy transformations have had different effects on the port industry. This article...

This study presents the auxiliary damping control with the reactive power loop on the rotor-side converter of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms to depress the sub-synchronous resonance oscillations in nearby turbogenerators. These generators are connected to a series...

The core is a vital concept in cooperative game theory and has been widely used in analyzing alliance’s stability. It is especially interesting to apply core theory in liner shipping market due to the latter’s exceptional characteristic of non-homogeneous cost curves as well as divisible and...
