    Abstract Urbanization results in drastic land use/cover change (LUCC) and ecological resilience (ER) issues, which has become an important and urgent question of regional sustainability. This study applied the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) to represent the ER, and further combined ordinary least squares (OLS), and the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform to analyze the spatiotemporal variations of ER and LUCC at the regional and city scales from 1990 to 2020 in Hangzhou Bay Metropolitan Area (HBMA), explore the relationship between ER and LUCC, and apply for urban resilience management zoning. The results demonstrated that the ER in HBMA showed a characteristic of “slightly worse overall and improved locally”, the mean value of which decreased from 0.508 in 1990 to 0.502 in 2020. Specifically, the ER in Shanghai, Shaoxing, and Ningbo increased, and others decreased. ER exhibited a very obvious spatial aggregation feature of “high value in the southwest and low value in the northeast”. The spatiotemporal dynamic feature of LUCC from 1990 to 2020 depicted that the expansion of construction land was at the expense of occupying cropland. The LUCC degree and population have significant negative effects on the ER. The ER management zoning of HBMA could be divided into five zones, namely the ecological core protection area, ecological monitoring area, ecological optimization area, ecological restoration area, and ecological potential governance area. Results of this study could provide a more comprehensive understanding of ER change in metropolitan areas and the implication of resilience management was provided to improve the adaptation and sustainable development of the coastal urban area.

    Abstract Although ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation reaching the ground represents a tiny fraction of the total solar radiant energy, it significantly affects human health and global ecosystems. Therefore, erythemal UV-B monitoring has recently attracted significant attention. However, traditional UV-B retrieval methods rely on empirical modeling and handcrafted features, which require expertise and fail to generalize to new environments. Furthermore, most traditional products have low spatial resolution. To address this, we propose a deep learning framework for retrieving all-sky, kilometer-level erythemal UV-B from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. We designed a deep neural network with a residual structure to cascade high-level representations from raw MODIS inputs, eliminating handcrafted features. We used an external random forest classifier to perform the final prediction based on refined deep features extracted from the residual network. Compared with basic parameters, extracted deep features more accurately bridge the semantic gap between the raw MODIS inputs, improving retrieval accuracy. We established a dataset from 7 Surface Radiation Budget Network (SURFRAD) stations and 1 from 30 UV-B Monitoring and Research Program (UVMRP) stations with MODIS top-of-atmosphere reflectance, solar and view zenith angle, surface reflectance, altitude, and ozone observations. A partial SURFRAD dataset from 2007–2016 trained the model, achieving an <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>R</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></semantics></math> of 0.9887, a mean bias error ( <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>M</mi><mi>B</mi><mi>E</mi></mrow></semantics></math> ) of 0.19 mW/m <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" ...<br />

    Abstract To explore the clinical efficacy of microneedle injection combined with blood transfusion in the treatment of severe anemia complicated with vitiligo based on regenerative medical technology and provide the theoretical basis for the adoption of microneedle technology, 60 patients with severe anemia complicated with vitiligo were selected as research objects. With 15 patients in each group, they were randomly assigned to the control group (calcipotriol ointment external application), observation group A (external application of moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO), observation group B (external application of MEBO combined with blood transfusion), and observation group C (microneedle injection of MEBO combined with blood transfusion). Blood indexes and plaque recovery of patients in different periods were detected. The total protein (TP) content in group C (62.3±3.3 g/L and 64.3±2.88 g/L) was remarkably higher than that in the control group (51.3±3.17 g/L and 52.4±3.17 g/L) and group A (52.6±2.91 g/L and 51.8±2.98 g/L)) at the 5th and 7th weeks after the treatment (P<0.05). The albumin (ALB) content in group C (42.9±3.28 g/L and 45.3±3.1 g/L) was signally higher than that in the control group (41.8±3.44 g/L and 41.9±3.23 g/L) and group A (41.3±2.91 g/L and 42.1±3.02 g/L) at the 5th and 7th weeks after the treatment, and the content was markedly higher than that in group B at 5th week (P<0.05). The wound healing rates of group C at the 3rd, 5th, and 7th weeks after the treatment (38.44%, 56.6%, and 90.23%) were greatly higher than those of the control group, group A, and group B (P<0.05). Besides, the wound healing rate of group B was higher than that of the control group and group A (40.3% and 75.8%) at the 5th and 7th weeks after the treatment (P<0.05). To sum up, based on regenerative medical technology, microneedle injection (microneedling is a derma roller process that pricks the skin with minuscule needles. The goal of the treatment is to develop new collagen and skin tissue, resulting in skin that ...

    Abstract Actual evapotranspiration (ET) is a key variable controlling the exchange of energy and water in terrestrial ecosystems. The spatial heterogeneity of ET patterns poses a great challenge for regional ET estimation over heterogeneous landscapes. In this study, we proposed a framework for estimating ET through interactive detector for spatial associations (IDSA)-based machine learning (ML) approaches by combining data from remote sensing and four flux towers distributed in the Hai River Basin. The IDSA model was applied to explore individual and interactive determinants of ET over the Hai River Basin. In addition, the geographical regions of ET were determined according to the spatial heterogeneity. Then we simulated ET in each geographical region separately using three ML models, including random forest, gradient boosting decision tree, and Cubist. General ML models without considering spatial heterogeneity were used for comparison, and evaluations were conducted with the eddy covariance flux tower observations at the site scale, also with water balance ET at the basin scale. The results demonstrated that the spatial patterns of ET were difficult to be explained by individual environmental variables (64.9 %). The maximum interpretability was improved by about 11.2 % through the interaction of air temperature (T) and normalized different vegetation index (NDVI). The framework developed in this study had excellent performance with coefficient of determination (R2) ranging from 0.807 to 0.811, root mean square error (RMSE) ranging from 0.654 mm/day to 0.661 mm/day, and mean absolute error (MAE) ranging from 0.470 mm/day to 0.485 mm/day. It was superior to general ML models at the site and basin scales. Additionally, the ET simulated by IDSA-based ML models were in good agreement with the reference product, further illustrating its reliability. The proposed framework provides a theoretical basis for in-depth understanding of spatial heterogeneity of ET and a new perspective for ET prediction over large scales.

    Abstract With the establishment of the action plan for the goal of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality”, how to achieve high-quality agricultural development, help implement the construction of the green Longjiang River, reduce agricultural carbon emissions, and increase the level of agricultural carbon sink is a key problem that must be solved for Heilongjiang Province to achieve the goal of “double carbon”. This article uses the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method to estimate the carbon emissions of animal husbandry in Heilongjiang Province and 13 cities from 2000 to 2020. By constructing the Tapio decoupling model, Kaya identity, and the LMDI model, the relationship between animal husbandry economy and carbon emissions in Heilongjiang Province and the driving factors affecting animal husbandry carbon emissions are explored. The results indicate that: (1) From 2000 to 2020, the carbon emissions of animal husbandry in Heilongjiang Province showed an overall slightly upward trend. From the perspective of various emission links, the highest carbon emissions are from the gastrointestinal fermentation environment (42.49%), with beef cattle, cows, and live pigs being the main livestock and poultry in Heilongjiang Province with carbon emissions. (2) The Tapio decoupling model results indicated that from 2000 to 2020, the relationship between the economic development of animal husbandry in Heilongjiang Province and carbon emissions was mainly characterized by weak decoupling. (3) The main driving force behind the continuous increase in carbon emissions from animal husbandry in Heilongjiang Province is the changing factors of agricultural population returns and changes in the production structure of animal husbandry; The driving factors that suppress the increase in carbon emissions from animal husbandry in Heilongjiang Province are changes in animal husbandry production efficiency, population and urban development levels, and population mobility factors. Finally, based on the decoupling effect status and driving factors of ...

    Abstract Environmental issues such as industrial pollution, excessive packaging, light pollution, and rubbish pollution in households are all growing at an alarming rate with the rapid expansion of the economy. It is necessary for government departments and the judiciary to work together to resolve issues that are brought on by the environment. There has been a progressive development of a variety of mechanisms for the resolution of environmental conflicts; nevertheless, these mechanisms are still unable to fulfill all of the requirements that the public has for the resolution of environmental disputes, and a significant percentage of disputes cannot be resolved on time. The Chinese government has investigated alternative dispute resolution (ADR), established professional mediation institutions and social organizations as neutral third parties to intervene in environmental disputes, and provided reasonable solutions based on local policies and specific disputes through full understanding of issues. As a result, the Chinese government has achieved remarkable results. This article examines the pros and cons of using third-party mediation in the process of resolving environmental disputes and makes comparisons between the traditional method of resolving environmental disputes and third-party mediation as a method for resolving environmental disputes. The article uses statistical correlation methods to analyze the role of third-party mediation in natural environmental pollution control issues in various countries. Based on the analysis results, suggestions are put forward to improve the third-party mediation system of environmental disputes in our country. Experimental results show that the mediation system can promote information sharing, strengthen social cooperation and encourage all parties to take more coordinated actions in environmental protection, thereby promoting sustainable development and the realization of an ecological balance.

    Abstract Study objective: This meta-analysis aimed to assess whether continuous intravenous administration of DEX during surgery can be part of the measures to prevent the onset of postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly individuals following regional anesthesia.
    Methods: We searched the databases of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (by June 1, 2023) for all available randomized controlled trials assessing whether intravenous application of dexmedetomidine can help with postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction in the elderly with regional anesthesia. Subsequently, we carried out statistical analysis and graphing using Review Manager software (RevMan version 5.4.1) and STATA software (Version 12.0).
    Main results: Within the scope of this meta-analysis, a total of 18 randomized controlled trials were included. Among them, 10 trials aimed to assess the incidence of postoperative delirium as the primary outcome, while the primary focus of the other 8 trials was on the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. The collective evidence from these 10 studies consistently supports a positive relationship between the intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine and a decreased risk of postoperative delirium (RR: 0.48; 95%CI: 0.37 to 0.63, p < 0.00001, I
    Conclusion: Administering dexmedetomidine intravenously during surgery can potentially play a significant role in preventing postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients older than 60 years with regional anesthesia according to this meta-analysis.

    Abstract Ni(OH)2 has been extensively studied as a promising electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, enhancing its OER properties is still required and challenging. Here we reported that the OER activity of Ni(OH)2 can be improved with the structure modulation by glutamic acid (GA) through a simple co-electrodeposition process. The coordination effect of GA leads to the reduction of Ni2+ ions and enhances the generation of NiOOH sites during the activation process by cyclic voltammetry. The Ni(OH)2-GA anode shows remarkably enhanced OER activity than pristine Ni(OH)2 in alkaline media. Additionally, Fe-doping realizes further improvement in the OER activity of Ni(OH)2-GA, suggesting the possibility of achieving highly efficient electrocatalysts with cheap materials and an easy fabrication process.

    Abstract Electromechanical components (EMCs) such as relays and contactors have been used extensively in industrial and military areas. The storage reliability of these EMCs has a direct impact on the reliability of the system that contains them. However, during the design phase, it is difficult to predict the storage reliability of EMCs because of few failure rate data of parts, as well as limited testing time and budgets. To address these problems, a virtual Manufacturing and testing method is proposed in this paper, so as to simulate the storage degradation process of batch EMCs. By considering the influence of the quality screening process in the manufacturing process, as well as the unit-to-unit variability of EMCs on the storage degradation paths and the overall life distribution of batch products, the storage failure distribution function is obtained, based on Wiener process. At the same time, the distribution of the diffusion coefficient in the degradation model and the failure distribution model is quantified by introducing testing data of related products as priori information, so as to reflect the uncertainty of the storage degradation process of EMCs. A case study of an electromagnetic relay is carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
