Perovskite oxides are promising catalysts in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for wastewater treatment, attributed to their flexible structures. In this study, halogen anion (F− or Cl− ) was doped in La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (LSCF) for PMS activation, showing that appropriate anion doping...

The explosion characteristics of nitromethane-epoxypropane-aluminum powder and nitromethane-n-pentane-aluminum powder fuel were studied in a 20 L explosion vessel under low-temperature, low pressure and high relative humidity conditions. The promotion of nitromethane on these solid-liquid fuel...

To further investigate the promoting effect of soybean protein and peptides on L. rhamnosus Lra05, the overall changes of gene expression of it was investigated through transcriptome analysis treated with dPEP and dSPI1. The results showed that there were 890, 113 and 1073 differentially...

This paper studies the optimal trade policy in the presence of international knowledge diffusion. Since importing from more productive foreign exporters facilitates knowledge diffusion, countries have strong incentives to treat their trade partners differently in trade policy. I quantitatively...

Technology acquirers face significant information asymmetry when identifying appropriate acquisition targets. Employing plausibly exogenous variation in technological information gathering costs caused by staggered openings of patent libraries, we find that firms become more active in...

We evaluate the impact of the 2003 SARS-CoV-1 epidemic on inbound cross-border M&As in China. Provinces that experienced high level of SARS infection rates, also suffered a significant decline in cross-border M&A activity, both in terms of the number of transactions and the overall dollar...

In this paper, we use an analyst’s coverage portfolio as the unit of analysis and argue that the linkage among the portfolio firms can provide useful information for analyst forecasts at the portfolio level. In particular, the geographic overlap in the portfolio firms’ global sales network...

Using Regulation SHO as natural experiment, we find that work-related injury and illness rates increase significantly at treated firms relative to the control group. The effect is more pronounced for firms in more competitive industries, firms in which labor has low negotiating power with...
