Purpose–The ramp-up in humanitarian logistics operations is a stage when the demand surges, often at the start of an emergency. In response, agility is a key strategy used by the humanitarian organizations (HOs). However, the HOs are constrained by their existing resources and have to respond...

We report the effect of A-site disorder σ2 on the structural, dielectric, ferroelectric (FE) and electrocaloric (EC) properties of lead-free Ba1-x-ySrxCayTiO3 (0.025≤x≤0.3, 0.275≤y≤0.113) perovskites. We have synthesized a series of samples with the same A-site cationic mean radius but...

Photo-Fenton reaction combining the photocatalytic and Fenton reactions showed excellent degradation performance. However, it highly demanded the catalysts to display outstanding activity in these two reactions. Herein, Fe-doped carbon nitride/MXenes-derived C-TiO2/Ti3C2 (Fe-C3N4/Ti3C2/C-TiO2)...

This article presents a trade based theory of casino taxation along with empirical evidence found from Macao as a typical tourism resort. We prove that there is aunique optimum gaming tax in a particular market for casino gambling, argue that any change in this tax is engendered by external...
