Fundamental understanding about carbon steam gasification at atomic scale plays a significant role in industry. The reaction mechanism of graphene sheets in a steam-rich environment is simulated at the atomic scale using molecular dynamics with reactive force field. The speed segmentation...

Based on the defects of biomass hydrochar and pyrochar, hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and pyrolysis were combined to prepare high-quality biochar. Maize straw (MS) was used as biomass raw material, hydrochar (HC), pyrochar (PC), hydrochar of PC (HPC) and pyrochar of HC （ PHC ） were...

To realize simultaneous and high percentage recovery of vanadium and titanium in the process of HIsmelt smelting vanadium titano-magnetite, the effect of slag and metal composition and temperature on the distribution behavior of V, Ti, and Si was calculated by thermodynamic methods, and the...

We look into determinants (volatility, crises, sentiment and the U.S. 'fear' index) of herding using BRICS as our sample. Investors herd selectively to crises and herding is a short-lived phenomenon. Herding was highest during the global financial crisis (only China was affected). There was no...

Structural–functional integrated materials are one of directions of rapid development for saving-energy materials. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are latent thermal storage materials possessing a large amount of heat energy stored during its phase change stage. Porous lightweight aggregate...

Much research has been conducted on the influence of rock burst mechanisms and temperature on the mechanical properties of hard rock while research on the effect of temperature on rock bursts is scarce. Therefore, this paper focuses on Rock Burst Proneness Index tests and acoustic emission (AE)...

This paper examines the information content of bank loan agreements. The authors differentiate borrowers according to financial analysts' percentage earnings forecast errors and most recent forecast revisions. The empirical results suggest that banks rely on other indicators as initial screening...
