Abstract
Purpose
For high torque-density permanent magnet synchronous in-wheel motor, service life and electromagnetic performance are related directly to winding temperature. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the equivalent stator slot model to calculate the temperature of winding accurately.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper analyzes the the law of heat flux transfer in slot, which points the main influence factors of equivalent stator slot model. Thermal network model is used to investigate the drawbacks of conventional equivalent model. Based on the law of heat transfer in stator slot, a new layered winding model is put forward. According to winding type and property of impregnations, detailed method and equivalent principle of the new model are presented. The accuracy of this new method has been verified experimentally.
Findings
An accurate equivalent stator slot model should be built according to the low of heat transfer. According to theory analysis, the drawbacks of conventional equivalent stator slot model are pointed: it cannot reflect the temperature gradient of winding; the maximum and the average temperature of winding are much higher than actual value. For the new layered model, equivalent principle is related to winding type and property of impregnations, which makes the new model widely used.
Originality/value
This paper presents a new layered model, and shows detailed method, which is more meaningful for designers. The new layered model takes winding type and property of impregnations into account, which makes the new model widely used. It is verified experimentally that layered model is applicable to not only steady-state temperature field but also transient temperature field.

Abstract
Purpose
WeChat official account (WCOA) is an emerging and important platform for academic library services, which greatly accelerates the development of this field. This article aims to identify key evaluation indicators for users' satisfaction of the Academic Library WeChat Official Account (ALWCOA) as a reference for future improvements.
Design/methodology/approach
Based on the updated DeLone and McLean (D&M)’s model and Delphi method, an evaluation system of ALWCOA satisfaction was constructed. Then 212 university students were recruited to fill out a questionnaire on evaluation indicators. The grey relational analysis (GRA) and Pareto's principle were employed to analyze the questionnaire and select key evaluation indicators.
Findings
An ALWCOA service satisfaction evaluation system with three evaluation dimensions and 15 evaluation indicators was constructed, and three key evaluation indicators were identified, including service responsiveness, information timeliness and system security.
Practical implications
This article provides a strategy for assessing ALWCOA service satisfaction, as well as insights for improving of ALWCOA service. Specifically, academic libraries should pay more attention to improving service responsiveness, information timeliness and system security.
Originality/value
This article innovatively applied the updated D&M model in academic library service. Additionally, it facilitates the development of research fields, such as academic library services, microservices and user service evaluation, and provides a case study to better understand the WCOA.

Abstract
Purpose
Many firms have attempted to adopt e‐commerce to upgrade their formidable competitive capabilities and thereby build their own competitive advantages. However, some firms have achieved great performance, whereas others have failed in competitive outcomes. How can the differences in firms' e‐commerce adoption be explained? This question remains largely unanswered. The purpose of this paper is to help fill this literature gap by developing a framework that incorporates factors determining firms' adoption of e‐commerce.
Design/methodology/approach
Through literature review, this paper summarizes ten factors which determine firms' adoption of e‐commerce.
Findings
The paper summarizes ten factors which determine firms' adoption of e‐commerce and four significant factors are especially highlighted, including managerial attitudes, corporate strategies, external pressures and firms' technology strengths.
Originality/value
The framework developed by this article provides a conceptual basis for further quantitative analysis. It can also guide firms' implementation of e‐commerce strategy. Moreover, this paper should be of great value to the policy makers who encourage firms to build up their competitiveness through e‐commerce adoption.
