    Abstract China is a major livestock producer confronting the dual challenges of rising demand for animal-based food consumption and decreasing carbon emissions. To effectively address these issues, it is crucial to understand the trends of carbon emissions from animal husbandry and the competitive advantages of carbon emission reduction in different regions. This study uses panel data from 31 provinces from 2004 to 2020 to investigate the contributing factors to carbon emissions and explore ways to reduce carbon intensity in animal husbandry. The analysis employs spatial shift-share analysis and the spatial Durbin model. Our findings indicate that life-cycle carbon emissions associated with animal husbandry in China decreased from 572.411 Mt CO

    Abstract Achieving coordination between grassland ecological conservation and livestock production is a global concern. Based on the survey data for 818 herders in China, we empirically analyzed grassland rental’s (GR) impact on herders’ technical efficiency (TE) and overgrazing under a unified framework. Results indicate that GR offers concurrent benefits of improving TE and reducing overgrazing; it helps to achieve a win-win situation between livestock production and grassland conservation. However, GR does little to promote TE by reducing overgrazing. Further analysis reveals that GR’s promotion effect on TE and the inhibition effect on overgrazing are heterogeneous among different income groups and grassland types. GR plays a stronger role in improving TE and reducing overgrazing by low-income herders, which is conducive in narrowing the animal husbandry development gap between rich and poor. The key policy implication is that GR should be encouraged under the condition of strengthening supervision.

    Abstract Background: Dwarf rootstocks have important practical significance for high-density planting in pear orchards. The shoots of 'Cuiguan' grafted onto the dwarf rootstock were shorter than those grafted onto the vigorous rootstock. However, the mechanism of shorter shoot formation is not clear.
    Results: In this study, the current-year shoot transcriptomes and phytohormone contents of 'CG‒QA' ('Cuiguan' was grafted onto 'Quince A', and 'Hardy' was used as interstock) and 'CG‒DL' ('Cuiguan' was grafted onto 'Duli', and 'Hardy' was used as interstock) were compared. The transcriptome results showed that a total of 452 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 248 downregulated genes and 204 upregulated genes; the plant hormone signal transduction and zeatin biosynthesis pathways were significantly enriched in the top 20 KEGG enrichment terms. Abscisic acid (ABA) was the most abundant hormone in 'CG‒QA' and 'CG‒DL'; auxin and cytokinin (CTK) were the most diverse hormones; additionally, the contents of ABA, auxin, and CTK in 'CG‒DL' were higher than those in 'CG‒QA', while the fresh shoot of 'CG‒QA' accumulated more gibberellin (GA) and salicylic acid (SA). Metabolome and transcriptome co-analysis identified three key hormone-related DEGs, of which two (Aldehyde dehydrogenase gene ALDH3F1 and YUCCA2) were upregulated and one (Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase gene CKX3) was downregulated.
    Conclusions: Based on the results of transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis, we found that auxin and CTK mainly regulated the shoot differences of 'CG-QA' and 'CG-DL', and other hormones such as ABA, GA, and SA synergistically regulated this process. Three hormone-related genes ALDH3F1, YUCCA2, and CKX3 were the key genes contributing to the difference in shoot growth between 'CG-QA' and 'CG-DL' pear. This research provides new insight into the molecular mechanism underlying shoot shortening after grafted onto dwarf rootstocks.

    Abstract Agricultural productive service plays an important role in China's modernization of agricultural production, and its development is closely related to urbanization. However, its effect on agricultural carbon efficiency has seldom been discussed at different stages of urbanization level. Thus, the paper investigated the relationship between agricultural productive service and agricultural carbon efficiency considering the change in urbanization level, using panel data of China's 31 provinces from 2010 to 2020. We find that agricultural productive service can promote agricultural carbon efficiency, and its promotion effect of agricultural productive service will become more powerful with the increase of urbanization level. In addition, its promotion effect is relatively powerful in China's eastern provinces, while relatively weak in central and western provinces characterized by low urbanization levels. According to the paper's findings, we propose that we should strengthen the development of agricultural productive service in breadbasket provinces and focus on the coordinated development between agricultural productive service and urbanization.

    Abstract Adopting conservation tillage technology can promote sustainable agriculture development. There have been many studies on all farmers’ conservation tillage behaviors, but few studies are based on a farmer’s multidimensional heterogeneity perspective. Given the background, we conduct an empirical evaluation using micro survey data from 819 households in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin. This paper uses the entropy method to classify farm households into three types: economically dominant, resource dominant, and socially dominant. Furthermore, we use the Heckman sample selection model to discuss the factors that affect the adoption of conservation tillage technology by different types of farmers. The results show that land fragmentation degree can inhibit economically dominant farmers conservation tillage technology adoption behavior. Social relations can positively influence resource dominant farmers. The share of non-farm income will positively impact socially dominant farmers. This paper further proposes policy implications, based on the findings that different types of farmers have various factors influencing conservation tillage technology adoption behavior.

    Abstract Our Purpose is to study the effects of intraocular pressure (IOP) and aspheric transition zone (ATZ) on corneal biomechanics after pure hyperopia correction by using the finite element analysis (FEA). The values of IOP were changed, and 1-5# aspheric transition zones were designed in 1-5D hyperopia correction model. Simulate and calculate the wavefront aberration, stress and vertex displacement of cornea. The results show that with the increase of IOP and diopter, defocus increases positively and sphere increases negatively. Diopter and IOP have slight influence on coma. At 22mmHg, the maximum value of defocus was 1.367mm at 5D-1#, and the maximum value of sphere was -0.32mm at 5D-5#. IOP and diopter have great influence on the stress in the marginal region of the anterior corneal surface, and 1D-1 # has the maximum value at 22mmHg. With the increase of IOP and diopter, the vertex displacement of posterior corneal surface increased. The ATZ ablation profile has little effects on the wavefront aberration and displacement. We can draw a conclusion that refractive surgery destroys the physiological structure of cornea and has a great influence on the biomechanical properties of cornea. IOP plays an important role in maintaining the physiological structure of cornea.

    Abstract The three-dimensional finite element model of the postoperative whole human eye after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery and the axisymmetric air-puff model were established, the influencing factors in the Air-puff test were explored from the displacement nephogram on anterior corneal surface. Our results showed that the maximum depression displacement was positively correlated with the corrected diopter when the peak pressure of ejection and air-puff center location were constant, but the highest concavity radius of concave curvature was negatively correlated with the corrected diopter. At the same time, we also found that when the decentration of air-puff center position was 1mm, the maximum depression displacement of the anterior corneal surface was reduced by 8.3% under the condition of constant correction diopter and peak air-puff pressure, compared with the maximum depression displacement of the anterior corneal surface when the decentration of air-puff center position was 0 mm. In conclusion, the corrected diopter and decentration of air-puff position have an important effect on the results of air-puff test after SMILE.

    Abstract The three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of human eye was established, and the intraocular pressure (IOP) was loaded to simulate refractive surgery. The biomechanical properties of human cornea after SMILE and LASIK surgery were studied from the stress, strain and induced wavefront aberration. Our results showed that SMILE had less impact on the biomechanics, having less stress and strain changes than LASIK. However, the stress and strain of the cornea increased with the increase of the diopter and were concentrated in the central region. We also investigated the changes in wavefront aberrations of the cornea after surgery, and the results indicated that the defocus and vertical commotion were significantly affected by SMILE and LASIK surgery, while the remaining aberrations were approximately unchanged. In conclusion, both SMILE and LASIK sergury procedures changed the postoperative corneal biomechanics, but SMILE had less impact on the biomechanics of corneal.

    Abstract The finite element method is used to simulate the optical coherent elastic imaging in Agar. The shear wave velocity in Agar was measured by ARF-OCE system, and then the Agar model was established by finite element method, and then the shear wave velocity in Agar model was measured. The shear wave velocity in experiment and finite element simulation were compared and analyzed. The shear wave velocity obtained in the experiment is 2.50 m/s, and the range of shear wave velocity obtained in the finite element simulation is 2.4802m/s, and the average wave velocity is 2.5167m/s. The finite element method can express tissue elasticity directly and clearly, and it plays a great guiding role in corneal elastography.
