China has been undergoing an industrial transformation, shifting from energy-intensive growth pattern. As the most developed region in China, Yangtze River Delta (YRD) city cluster is leading transformation. However, impact of transformation on carbon footprints YRD cities unclear. By a city-level environmentally extended input-output model, we quantify footprint 41 for 2012 and 2015 capture so...

Abstract This study investigates Japan’s energy transitions in 2005–2015, which involved massive economic disruptions due to the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and Recession. A hybrid input-output (IO) table that conforms conservation condition was newly compiled by integrating Japanese energy-balance linked-IO tables. employed conduct a structural decomposition analysis (SDA), attributes cha...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have grown in popularity as a network method. However, owing to the broadcast communication method and unsupervised deployment nature of WSNs, Sensor Nodes (SN) often becomes targets attackers. Due few processing energy resources, basic data aggregation methods such averaging are required. While it may prevent sensitive from being hacked, requires regular message...

Visible/Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (Vis/NIRS) was applied to variety discrimination of juicy peach. A total of 75 samples were investigated for Vis/NIRS using a field spectroradiometer. Chemometrics was used to build the relationship between the absorbance spectra and varieties. Principle component analysis (PCA) was executed to reduce numerous wavebands into 8 principle components ...

A new class of computational methods, referred to as decomposition methods, has been developed for predicting failure probability of structural and mechanical systems subject to random loads, material properties, and geometry. The methods involve a novel function decomposition that facilitates univariate and bivariate approximations of a general multivariate function, response surface generatio...

ÐAn important trend of current GIS development is to provide easy and effective access to spatial analysis functionalities for supporting decision making based on geo-referenced data. Within the framework of the ongoing SQL standards for spatial extensions, a spatial query language, called SQL/SDA, has been designed to meet such a requirement. Since the language needs to incorporate the importa...

The templated zeolite-analogue GaPO-34 (CHA structure type) crystallises from a gel precursor Ga2O3 : 2H3PO4 : 1HF : 1.7SDA : 70H2O (where SDA = structure directing agent), treated hydrothermally for 24 hours at 170 °C using either pyridine or 1-methylimizadole as SDA and one of either poorly crystalline ε-Ga2O3 or γ-Ga2O3 as gallium precursor. If the same gels are stirred for periods shorter t...

E nergy consumption has increased significantly in Iran during the recent decades. In this study, an inter-industrial model has been improved to investigate the sources of the changes in the energy consumption of the country. The input-output tables of Iran for the years 1988 and 2001 have been employed as the database of the model. The innovation of this research allows the researchers to stud...
