Purpose – This paper aims to refine cross-organizational knowledge creation theory by exploring the knowledge conversion process of University-Industry (U-I) collaboration in Chinese aerospace industry. An ancient Chinese philosophy named I-Ching is also introduced to illustrate dynamics of...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to establish the key predictors of Master of Business Administration (MBA) students' performance, considering the interaction between personality type, learning approaches and educational achievement. A structural equation model is formulated to check out...

This paper investigates the mechanism analysis and the experimental validation of employing superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) to enhance power system stability. The models of the SMES device and the single-machine infinite-bus (SMIB) system with SMES are deduced. Based on the model...

The low grade heat utilization is not only an inevitable option to solve the energy and environment problems, but also a critical issue for many remote power applications and planetary explorations. In this study, a novel design called a heat engine aerobot which can convert planetary...

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate reconfigurable technology using robotic technology for folding carton in confectionery industry. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the analysis of common motion and manipulation, modules such as robotic fingers and robotic folders are explored...

In this paper, an M–EEMD–ELM model (modified ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD)-based extreme learning machine (ELM) ensemble learning paradigm) is proposed for landslide displacement prediction. The nonlinear original surface displacement deformation monitoring time series of...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study whether, of China's food and agriculture (agri-food) export, the trade relationships along the extensive margin can transform into short-term ones, and further convert into long-term ones along the intensive margin with survival and maintenance,...

Government and nonprofit innovation intermediaries that work to enable the innovativeness of firms include R&D performers such as government research institutes, property-based enablers such as science parks and business incubators, technology transfer offices, economic development...

As a new strategy to combat global climate change and achieve sustainable development, a marine low-carbon economy has gradually gained attention in recent years. A variety of reasons are fueling the creation of a marine low-carbon economy. The digital economy (DE) has demonstrated a significant...
