Optimal placement of viscous dampers in high-rise buildings using the target-oriented krill herd algorithm with a dynamic search mechanism

Optimal placement of viscous dampers is essential for enhancing the seismic performance of high-rise buildings. In this study, we propose a target-oriented krill herd algorithm with a dynamic search mechanism (DTOKH) to optimize the placement of viscous dampers in high-rise build...

Borrowed size, city functional division, and total factor productivity of firms: a study based on city clusters in China

Research indicates that a city’s total factor productivity (TFP) correlates with its size, with larger cities exhibiting higher TFP. However, some smaller cities can achieve high TFP by borrowing their size from surrounding cities, achieving the size necessary to support the bene...

Soil Carbon Recovery and Hydrological Buffering in Mongolian Rangelands: Local Benefits and Limits of Earth-System Connectivity

Soil organic carbon (SOC) restoration in degraded drylands is increasingly promoted for climate mitigation and hydrological co-benefits, yet the scale at which these benefits remain detectable remains uncertain. We therefore evaluate SOC recovery and its hydrological effects acro...
