Li, Y. (author), Tao, Y. (author), Qian, QK (author), Mlecnik, E. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Resident participation is essential for neighborhood rehabilitation. It requires the active involvement of residents and efficient management by organizers. To improve the effectiveness of resident participation, it is necessary to understand the critical success factors (CSFs) underlying it. However, previous research has examined the critical...journal article 2024

Chang, Guobin (author), Qian, N. (author), Bian, Shaofeng (author)Point-mass inversion is widely employed in GRACE level-2 data processing. Conventionally, the spherical harmonic (SH) coefficients are used indirectly: a set of pseudo measurements is generated first using the SH coefficients through SH synthesis; then the point-mass inversion is done with these pseudo measurements. To be statistically optimal,...journal article 2023
