Poetry attention–adjusted endowment and tourism demand

This study examines how historical poetry heritage affects tourism demand when activated by contemporary cultural attention. We propose Poetry Attention-Adjusted Endowment (PAE), conceptualizing poetry heritage as a latent cultural asset whose economic relevance depends on time-v...

Multifunctional AgNPs@Chitosan-g-C3N4-OH Nanocomposite: Efficient Catalytic Reduction of Nitro Pollutants, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Applications

Abstract A ternary nanocomposite comprising silver nanoparticles anchored on glutaraldehyde-cross-linked chitosan supported on hydroxyl-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (AgNPs@CS-g-C3N4-OH) was synthesized via in situ reduction of silver in a stepwise method. Structural an...
