Convective thermal cloaks with homogeneous and isotropic parameters and drag-free characteristics for viscous potential flows.

Although convective thermal cloaking has been advanced significantly, the majority of related researches have concentrated on creeping viscous potential flows. Here, we consider convective thermal cloaking works in non-creeping viscous potential flows, and propose a combination of the separation of variables method and the equivalent-medium integral method to analytically deduce the parameters of convective thermal cloaks with isotropic-homogeneous dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity. Through numerical simulation, we demonstrate the cloaks can hide the object from thermo-hydrodynamic fields.

The Source of SMEs' Competitive Performance in COVID-19: Matching Big Data Analytics Capability to Business Models.

Literature notes that firms are keen to develop big data analytics capability (BDAC, e.g. big data analytics (BDA) management and technology capability) to improve their competitive performance (e.

How consumers' perception and information processing affect their acceptance of genetically modified foods in China: A risk communication perspective.

This study aims to explore the roles of consumers' risk and benefit perception and food information processes in predicting their acceptance of genetically modified food. We integrate the protective action decision and heuristic systematic models to develop a conceptual model to predict customers' purchase intention. We conducted a survey questionnaire with measures adapted from existing Likert scales.

Public risk perception and willingness to mitigate climate change: city smog as an example.

Climate change harms people's health and ecosystems. Encouraging the public to adopt behaviors that help to combat climate change can, at the same time, contribute to efforts to control and solve related serious environmental problems. This study aims to ascertain the way in which the public perceives risks related to climate change and adopts behaviors to respond to the issue.
