Achieving energy efficiency in data centers with a performance-guaranteed power aware routing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Nowadays, data centers are designed to offer the highest performance in case of high traffic load and peak utilisation of the network. However, in a realistic data center environment, the peak capacity of the network is ...
Plasmolysis-Inspired Nanoengineering of Functional Yolk-Shell Microspheres with Magnetic Core and Mesoporous Silica Shell
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
Yolk-shell nanomaterials with a rattle-like structure have been considered ideal carriers and nanoreactors. Traditional methods to constructing yolk-shell nanostructures mainly rely on multistep sacrificial template strategy. ...
Adherence to evidence-based pressure injury prevention guidelines in routine clinical practice: a longitudinal study.
(
Wiley
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this longitudinal study was to describe adherence to evidence-based pressure injury (PI) prevention guidelines in routine clinical practice in Australian hospitals. Data were analysed from four control sites of ...
Supplier selection for a sustainable supply chain: Triple bottom line (3BL) and analytic network process approach
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to integrate the "triple bottom line (3BL)" approach in the supplier selection decision. It also aims to consider the feedback effect of the decision on strategic factors that determine ...
The Determinants of Bond Market Development: Further Evidence from Emerging and Developed Countries
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The objective of this paper is to empirically investigate the structural, financial, developmental, institutional, and macroeconomic determinants of bond market development for a sample of 22 emerging and developing countries ...
Heterogeneous growth mechanism of ZnO nanostructures and the effects of their morphology on optical and photocatalytic properties
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoflowers have huge potential for various applications. However, the growth mechanism of ZnO nanoflowers is still under debate despite various growth mechanisms having been proposed. The aim of this study ...
Highly active, durable and pH-universal hybrid oxide nanocrystals for efficient oxygen evolution
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
The development of an active, durable, and low-cost catalyst remains hitherto a grand challenge in energy conversion technologies. Herein, hybrid Ptx-NiMnO3 nanocrystals (NCs) (x = 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mM) were synthesized ...
