The laminar flame speeds of CH4/O2/CO2 mixtures in atmospheric conditions (300 K and 1 atm) were studied using a Bunsen burner. The surface area methodology based on images of flame was performed to obtain the laminar flame speeds for a range of equivalence ratios (from 0.6 to 1.4, step 0.1),...

Nowadays, land reclamation by dredger fill has become one of the effective ways to solve the increasing land demand in coastal areas. However, the artificial dredger fill could not only produce large deformation after it was deposited, but also further the permeability and consolidation of the...

This study examines the role of reputation on decision making under ambiguity. Drawing on social cognition and behavioral theories, we propose that a firm's reputation exerts dual pressures on its decision making under ambiguity. On the one hand, reputation increases firm aspirations for future...
