The prolonged debate on the effect of monetary reward on creative performance is still ongoing. Research has shown monetary rewards to have both positive and negative effects on creative performance. We contend that a person's motivational orientation moderates the effect of monetary rewards on...

We exploit the shift from frequent batch auctions to continuous trading at the Taiwan Stock Exchange to show that liquidity deteriorated in large-cap and efficiency significantly improved in mid-cap and small-cap after trading became continuous. Our results reveal that the migration to the...

In this paper, we show that fear can propagate across international financial markets. Investors become more concerned about the local market tail risks when they see that the U.S. economy steps into contractions. Consistent with the rare disaster theory, risk-averse investors would require...

Organic phase-change materials (PCMs) suffer from problems such as easy leakage from the matrix and low thermal conductivity in the molten state. Encapsulating PCMs in the form of microcapsules is an effective method of addressing these issues. In this study, modified phase-change microcapsules...

The disc-type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) encapsulated by yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) superconducting material has broad application prospects in the current limiting field. However, the difficulty to recover quickly and safely after quench remains the bottleneck of the...

Cobalt-based catalysts have been widely explored in the degradation of organic pollutants based on peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Herein, we report an MXene nano-Co3O4 co-catalyst enriched with oxygen vacancies (Ov) and steadily fixed in nickel foam (NF) plates, which is used as an...

Photocatalytic degradation is a promising means to restore the ever-growing pharmacological active compounds (PHACs) contamination in the water environment. Herein, the oxygen vacancies (OVs) modulated Z-scheme CuWO4/CuBi2O4 hybrid systems were fabricated at thermal treatment by in-situ loading...
