    Abstract Against the background of carbon emission reduction, green finance (GF) has become a crucial financial instrument that promotes industrial transformation and low-carbon development. Although some scholars have explored the driving factors affecting the carbon emission intensity (CEI), there is a dearth of literature on the mediation and threshold effects of GF on CEI. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China during the period of 2004~2019, this study examined the direct, indirect, and threshold effects of GF on CEI by adopting the panel ordinary least squares, mediation effect, and threshold regression models, respectively. This study draws the following conclusions: GF can directly reduce the CEI. In addition, the scale economics effect and green technology innovation caused by GF have an inhibiting effect on the CEI. However, GF can promote the CEI through structural transformation. What’s more, this study interestingly found that the effect of GF reducing CEI is dynamic and nonlinear. These findings can provide references for policy-makers who hope to accelerate carbon emission reduction and achieve low-carbon development.

    Abstract Real-time imaging of free-radical formation is important in physical chemistry, biochemistry, and radiobiology, especially for the study of radiation dose-rate effects. Herein, we show for the first time that the formation of free radicals during the time course of a chemical reaction can be imaged through NMR relaxation measurements of water protons in the Earth's magnetic field, in an open-coil spectrometer. The relaxation rate constants of water magnetisation are enhanced as reactions leading to the formation of hydroxyl radicals and oxygen proceed on the timescale of tens of minutes. The reaction rate of iodide-catalysed H

    Abstract The decoupling relationship between carbon emissions and the economic development in the service sector is conducive to promoting sustainable development. Taking 30 provinces of China as case studies, this study not only examined the decoupling relationship between carbon emissions and economic development in the service sector by adopting Tapio decoupling elasticity model but it also explored the driving factors affecting the changes of carbon emissions of the service sector at different stages by using the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index. The main results are as follows. First, the rapid development of the service sector inevitably consumed a large number of energies, thus generating a deal of carbon emissions in China. Second, the majority of provinces have achieved a weak decoupling relationship between carbon emissions and economic development in the service sector during the four Five-Year Plans. Third, although the inhibiting effect of energy efficiency and energy structure saw a fluctuant growth trend, the provincial average accumulative reduction of carbon emissions was still smaller than that of the industry scale.

    Abstract Imaging the molecular kinetics of antioxidants by magnetic resonance can contribute to the mechanistic understanding of therapeutic approaches. Magnetic resonance detection of the response to flashes of oxidative stress requires sequential spectroscopy on the same time scale on which reactive oxygen species are generated. To this effect, we propose a single-polarization multiple-detection stroboscopic experiment. We demonstrate this experiment for the follow-up of glutathione oxidation kinetics. On-the-fly stroboscopic detection minimizes the durations necessary for single acquisitions yet necessitates sustaining of magnetization lifetimes. Long-lived proton spin states (LLS) in the cysteine and glycine residues of glutathione with

    Abstract Romanian policy makers have to perceive that human intervention on river basins land cover is influencing rainfall-runoff relation and the used methodology cannot accurately estimate watershed surface flow transformations. Global water cycles and energy fluxes understanding is leading to better predictions of land atmosphere interaction and local hydro-climates evolution. The water transfer time determination from rainfall to runoff needs accurate measurements of river basins hydrological parameters. Here, we analyzed and compared the lag time value results of two different methodologies (curve number and rational methodology) used for 54 Romanian small catchment areas study. The focus of this paper is the lag time evaluation and interpretation for an effective implementation of the best methodology approach in the Romanian geographical space. Our research in small river basins was developed using remote sensing technology maps, GIS and environmental datasets in combination with field work on every drainage basin in order to assess the specific morphological features and validate the land cover typology. We found that Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number (SCS-CN) method is widely used according to USA landscape features classification, but not necessarily applicable to Romanian river basins characteristics. Our results show how the official Romanian rational methodology national standard (RNS) can be improved and the limits of SCS-CN method.

    Abstract As one of the main factors in any tourist destination, residents' perception of the impacts of ecological resettlement has a substantial influence on the sustainable development of any world heritage site. Our research takes the residents of three different resettlement locations in the Wulingyuan scenic area, a world heritage site, as the object of our survey. Based on questionnaire investigations in 2010 and 2016, this article analyzes the residents' diachronic perception of the impacts of ecological resettlement. Independent sample

    Abstract Romanian Wild Carpathia constitutes the ultimate pristine wilderness of the old European continent. Carpathian Mountains landscape experiences and outdoor recreation represents quite unique cultural ecosystem services. The new annotations to the Forest Law are restricting any public access in the woods without authorities’ pre-approval for organised sport, leisure and tourism activities. However, off road vehicle (ORV) recreation is a popular activity and a growing transparency concern of National Forest Administration Authorities that is not managed accordingly. Here we show that our ORV recreation frame model can securely allow public access and protect all Romanian mountains. Our results demonstrate how growing ORV recreation popularity can be used in an honest and open way if it is well organized and controlled. We anticipate our assay to be a starting point for a regional and national forest administration sustainable development plan. Furthermore, stopping illegal forest activities is a major target of the anti-logging movement. A well-defined assay for the ORV recreation frame model will be relevant for such developments.
