Land marketization, fiscal decentralization and carbon emissions

During China’s period of economic transition, its policy of fiscal decentralization (FD) has vigorously promoted China’s economic development, but it has brought about a mass of carbon emissions (CE) from its urban and industrial development. To solve environmental problems, the...

Balancing Microplastic Retention and Wetland Sustainability: A Salinity-Dependent LBM Transport Model

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are widely used as an ecological technology for wastewater treatment. However, the accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in their substrates may impair long-term performance and threaten the operational sustainability of these nature-based treatment syste...

Experimental study and model prediction of acoustic wave dispersion and attenuation in medium-coarse sandy sediments

A comparable joint dataset of compressional-wave (P-wave) and shear-wave (S-wave) speed and attenuation for saturated Ottawa sand under consistent sample conditions was obtained, using a dual-probe acoustic measurement method (DPAMM) for P-waves (20–150 kHz) and bender element (B...

Effectiveness of Microbial Composite Strains in Reducing River Sediment

The accumulation of sediment in rivers and lakes can elevate riverbeds, leading to a reduction in river channel flood-carrying capacity, impairment of water conservancy project benefits, and destruction of aquatic ecosystems. Systematic dredging projects are required in the routi...

Multi-objective optimization for backpressure forming of thin-walled complex scrolls via a hybrid PSO-BPNN, NSGA-III, and TOPSIS framework

Backpressure forming is essential for precision forming of thin-walled complex scrolls by applying a controllable counter-pressure to regulate inhomogeneous material flow. However, the process involves strong thermo-mechanical coupling effects, and there exists a highly nonlinear...

AI-supported cognitive load detection: experimental insights using wearable workload and stress data for enhanced well-being interventions

Rising occupational and academic cognitive demands make real-time monitoring of mental workload a critical priority for occupational health and educational technology. Consumer-grade wearable devices offer a scalable and non-intrusive pathway to operationalize cognitive load (CL)...

Numerical Investigation on Water Hammer Pressure in Long-Distance and Large-Diameter Gravity Flow Water Pipelines in Hilly Areas

Abstract The closure strategy of the downstream end valve is one of the important factors affecting the safety of long-distance, large-diameter gravity flow water supply pipelines. This paper takes the large-diameter gravity flow water supply pipeline of the Siqiao Reservoir Irri...

A mechanistic model integrating multi‐source data for operational prediction of rice sheath blight at regional scale

Abstract BACKGROUND Rice sheath blight (RSB) is a destructive disease that causes significant yield losses globally. Accurate regional prediction is critical for sustainable disease management; however, existing models suffer from poor generalizability and limited operational app...
