Abstract China’s economic model involves regular and intensive government interventions in financial markets, while Western policymakers often refrain from substantial interventions outside crisis periods. We develop a theoretical framework to rationalize the approaches of both China and the West to managing the financial system as being optimal given the differences in their respective economies. In this framework, a government leans against trading of noise traders but at the expense of introducing policy noise to the market. Our welfare analysis shows that under certain underlying economic ...

The results suggest that in outcome-driven business units, the implementation of SMA practices may not be limited to the accounting function and managers in other functions may be motivated to implement SMA Practices even when management accountants are not part of the process.

Vector databases typically manage large collections of embedding vectors. As AI applications are growing rapidly, the number of embeddings that need to be stored and indexed is increasing. The Faiss library is dedicated to vector similarity search, a core functionality of vector databases. Faiss is a toolkit of indexing methods and related primitives used to search, cluster, compress and transform vectors. This paper describes the trade-offs in vector search and the design principles of Faiss in terms of structure, approach to optimization and interfacing. We benchmark key features of the libr...

Companies struggle to integrate sustainability into their corporate strategy and implement it in their business activities. To examine this issue, we develop an extended version of Gond et al.'s (2012) integration typology that considers all four of Simons's (1994, 1995) levers of control. We then present a longitudinal study of the efforts made by a multi-national industrial firm to align its management control system and sustainability control system in an integrated sustainability strategy. Our results provide three insights into control system integration for sustainability. First, intensi...

The resource management system is the central component of network computing systems. There have been many projects focused on network computing that have designed and implemented resource management systems with a variety of architectures and services. In this paper, we develop a comprehensive taxonomy for describing resource management architectures. We use this taxonomy in identifying approaches followed in the implementation of real resource management systems for large scale network computing systems known as Grids. We use the taxonomy and the survey results to identify architectural appr...

Abstract Management researchers rely frequently on theoretical perspectives originating in North American and European contexts. Given the influences context has on scholarship, the question becomes if using primarily Western theories provides researchers with the design insights needed to capture the robust context of the setting in which they conduct their studies. Herein, we seek to establish a foundation for developing fertile exchanges of ideas regarding contextualized management research. To do this, we examine some of the main theories in management studies through the heuristic lens of...

With the increasing number of open-source software projects, code plagiarism has become one of the threats to the software industry. However, current research on code copyright protection mostly focuses on the approach for code plagiarism detection, failing to fundamentally solve the problem of copyright confirmation and protection. This paper proposes a blockchain-based code copyright management system. Firstly, an Abstract Syntax Tree-based code originality verification model is constructed. The originality of the uploaded code is determined through its similarity to other original codes. Se...

A comprehensive review of MG elements, the different RE resources that comprise a hybrid system, and the various types of control, operating strategies, and goals in an EMS is presented.

Strategy scholars are increasingly attempting to tackle complex global social and environmental issues (i.e. wicked problems); yet, many strategy scholars approach these wicked problems in the same way they approach business problems—by building causal models that seek to optimize some form of organizational success. Strategy scholars seek to reduce complexity, focusing on the significant variables that explain the salient outcomes. This approach to wicked problems, ironically, divorces firms from the very social-ecological context that makes the problem “wicked.” In this essay, we argue that ...

Abstract Lithium-ion batteries have always been a focus of research on new energy vehicles, however, their internal reactions are complex, and problems such as battery aging and safety have not been fully understood. In view of the research and preliminary application of the digital twin in complex systems such as aerospace, we will have the opportunity to use the digital twin to solve the bottleneck of current battery research. Firstly, this paper arranges the development history, basic concepts and key technologies of the digital twin, and summarizes current research methods and challenges i...

Treatment for SLE usually includes an initial period of high-intensity immunosuppressive therapy to control disease activity, followed by a longer period of less intensive therapy to consolidate response and prevent relapses, including minimisation of glucocorticoid use.

Anti-interferon therapies (sifalimumab and anifrolumab) have shown beneficial results in phase II randomized control trials in adult SLE patients, as have some Janus kinase inhibitors, and these could be alternative treatments for pediatric patients with severe interferon-mediated inflammatory disease in the future.

A literature and policy analysis looks at the role of energy management system aggregators and the end-users participating in subsidiary systems within Smart Grid programmers and technologies.

Many countries around the world have strengthened of the environmental regulations on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, so battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to replace traditional fuel vehicles has become an inevitable trend in the automotive industry. The range, performance, the efficiency and lifespan of BEVs are closely related to thermal management system (TMS). At the same time, battery electric vehicles thermal management system (BEVTMS) is very sensitive to change of temperature. Most of the current research has been conducted on only one system or component of the BEVTMS, which not only le...

Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used battery type in commercial electric vehicles due to their high energy densities and ability to be repeatedly charged and discharged over many cycles. In order to maximize the efficiency of a li-ion battery pack, a stable temperature range between 15 °C to 35 °C must be maintained. As such, a reliable and robust battery thermal management system is needed to dissipate heat and regulate the li-ion battery pack’s temperature. This paper reviews how heat is generated across a li-ion cell as well as the current research work being done on the four ma...

Batteries are widely applied to the energy storage and power supply in portable electronics, transportation, power systems, communication networks, etc. They are particularly demanded in the emerging technologies of vehicle electrification and renewable energy integration for a green and sustainable society. To meet various voltage, power, and energy requirements in large-scale applications, multiple battery cells have to be connected in series and/or parallel. While battery technology has advanced significantly in the past decade, existing battery management systems (BMSs) mainly focus on sta...

This paper presents a fully functional power management system for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with the TENG as the only power source. TENG was developed for the objective to provide power to electronic devices and sensors without the need for a battery (the so-called self-powered systems). A unique feature of the TENG's electrical output is high pulsed voltage but low current capability, making TENGs unsuitable for direct use as a power source. To provide continuous and steady electrical voltage for conventional electronics, a power management system (PMS) is required. Existing PMS′ ...
