    Abstract With the rapid development of technologies such as cloud computing and big data, various levels of government departments in the country have successively introduced digital subsidy policies to promote enterprises' digital transformation. However, the effectiveness of these policies and their ability to truly achieve policy objectives have become pressing concerns across society. Against this backdrop, this paper employs a moderated mediation effects model to empirically analyze the incentive effects of financial subsidies on the digital transformation of A-share listed manufacturing companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets from 2013 to 2022. The research findings indicate a significant promotion effect of financial subsidies on the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises, especially demonstrating a notable incentive impact on the digital transformation of large enterprises, non-asset-intensive enterprises, technology-intensive enterprises, and non-labor-intensive enterprises. However, the incentive effect on the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), asset-intensive enterprises, non-technology-intensive enterprises, and labor-intensive enterprises is not significant. Notably, the expansion of financial subsidies positively influences the augmentation of R&D investment within manufacturing enterprises, subsequently providing indirect encouragement for their digital transformation. Additionally, the incorporation of the degree of marketization implies its potential to moderate both the direct and indirect impacts of financial subsidies on enterprise digital transformation. This study enriches the research on the mechanism of the role of financial subsidies in digital transformation and provides empirical evidence on how market participation influences the effects of financial subsidies, thereby assisting policymakers in comprehensively understanding the impact of financial subsidy policies on different types of enterprises.

    Abstract Biochar is an economical and environmentally friendly “green material” with potential benefits in greenhouse gas emission reduction, soil performance improvement, and environmental restoration. Mixing biochar with clay and using it as a landfill cover can effectively reduce the escape of greenhouse gases into the air, which is important for environmental protection. It is suggested that biochar should be mixed with clay and used as a landfill covering layer. In this study, the shear strength was obtained by direct shear test, and the shear strength characteristics of biochar–clay mixture under the influence of different dry and wet cycles, biochar contents, and moisture conditions were studied. The results show that the shear strength of the biochar–clay mixture in the saturated state decreases with increasing wet and dry cycles, with shear strength decreases ranging from 6% to 19%. The cohesion and internal friction angles of the clays and mixtures show a decreasing trend under wet and dry cycles, with the cohesion and internal friction angles decreasing in the range of 2% to 16%. The shear stress–shear displacement curve for the biochar–clay mixture in the saturated state shows strain hardening after wet and dry cycles; the curve in the dry state shows strain softening with a distinct peak and a platform at the front end of the curve. The shear strength of clay in a dry state is larger than that of biochar–clay mixture and always larger than that of clay in a saturated state. The shear strength difference of the mixture between dry and saturated states is obviously smaller than that of pure clay. This paper, therefore, provides theoretical guidance for the application of biochar–clay mixtures to landfill covers.

    Abstract The landfill barriers effectively prevented the migration of high-concentration pollutants, such as NH 4 + and Na + , from the landfills to the surrounding environment. However, due to the high hydraulic head inside the landfill compared to the surrounding environment, NH 4 + and Na + can migrate towards the outside of the landfill barrier with the infiltrating solution, potentially causing harm to the surrounding environment. To address this, saturated mixed soil column samples made of bentonite and Shanghai clay, with bentonite contents of 3% and 10%, were used in this study. Permeability coefficients of the column samples in solutions are obtained by using permeation tests, and using NaCl and NH 4 Cl solutions with concentrations of 37.4 mmol/L and 74.8 mmol/L, respectively. The concentration-depth result of the column samples after permeation tests was determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Ion Chromatography (ICS-1100). Numerical simulations are used to investigate the effect of downstream solute concentration of the barriers on upstream solute concentration, dry density, and bentonite content of the barriers. The results indicate that the permeability coefficient of the soil column samples exposed to NH 4 Cl solution is greater than that of samples exposed to NaCl solution. This can be attributed to the stronger cation exchange of montmorillonite for NH 4 + , resulting in less swelling of the bentonite and more micro-pores, leading to an increase in the permeability coefficient. The concentration of Na + is higher than that of NH 4 + at the same depth of the column samples, indicating that Na + has a higher migration rate in the column sample. This could be attributed to the relatively fast diffusion of Na + on the surface of the bentonite and larger hydration radius of Na + . According to the simulation results, the recommended values for the bentonite clay mixed-soil barrier wall are as follows in this study: a thickness of 43 cm, a dry density of 1.5 g/cm ...

    Abstract In this work, a magnetic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) named Fe3O4@TpBD was rapidly synthesized by an ultrasonic method, which reduced the synthesis time to 1.5 h. Fe3O4@TpBD was used as a magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) adsorbent for the extraction and enrichment of five common sulfonamides, and there were different enrichment multiples ranging from 5 to 30. The limits of detection (LODs) of this method were 0.31–0.73 ng mL−1, the limits of quantitation were 1.03–2.44 ng mL−1, and the intraday and interday relative standard deviations (RSDs) were <9.72 % and <6.89 %, respectively. Moreover, the MSPE method was successfully applied for the determination of sulfonamides in shrimp samples.

    Abstract This study investigated the adaptive fault-tolerant control (FTC) for a flexible variable structure spacecraft in the presence of external disturbance, multiple actuator faults, and saturation. The attitude system model of a variable structure spacecraft and actuator fault model are first given. A sliding mode-based fault detection observer and a radial basis function-based fault estimation observer were designed to detect the time of actuator fault occurrence and estimate the amplitude of an unknown fault, respectively. Then, the adaptive FTC with variable structure harmonic functions was proposed to automatically repair multiple actuator faults, which first guaranteed that the state trajectory of attitude systems without actuator saturation converges to a neighborhood of the origin. Then, another improved adaptive FTC scheme was further proposed in the actuator saturation constraint case, ensuring that all the closed-loop signals are finite-time convergence. Finally, simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    Abstract Employees, as the most valuable assets and critical sources of competitive advantage in enterprises, are among the important stakeholders in enterprises. Employee social responsibility (ESR) has been a continually important research interest in the field of enterprise social responsibility. However, in the literature, few studies explore how personal features affect employee social responsibility. Thus, sampling China’s listed companies from 2006 to 2019, we investigate how the home bias of senior executives influences enterprises’ employee social responsibility. We identify home bias based on whether a chairperson’s or CEO’s hometown matches the firm’s registration place. Three main results are obtained. First, the home bias of both CEOs and chairpersons can improve the corporate fulfillment of employee social responsibility. Second, further cost-benefit analysis shows that this result is due to not only identification but also benefit exchange. Although senior executives’ home bias significantly decreases employee turnover rate, enterprises absorb more employment, which significantly increases their redundant personnel costs. Therefore, firms should balance the potential benefits and costs incurred by home bias via trade-off. Third, in firms facing less market competition, firms with more governmental subsidies or state-owned firms, senior executives’ home bias has a more significant promoting effect on the fulfillment of ESR, supporting the view of benefit exchange. Accordingly, by extending theories on the effects of senior executives’ home bias and enriching the ESR literature, this paper has important practical value, our findings can guide and promote firms to perform ESR while actively complying with a national policy for stabilizing employment and ensuring people’s well-being.

    Abstract Drug resistance is one of the main challenges in cancer treatment. Long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a complex and precise regulatory role in regulating drug resistance of cancer. The common ways of lncRNA regulating drug resistance of cancer involve ATP binding transporter overexpression, abnormal DNA damage response, tumor cell apoptosis, accumulation of epithelial mesenchymal transformation and cancer stem cell formation. Moreover, studies on exosomal lncRNAs regulating cancer drug resistance are developed in recent years. Further study on the role and mechanism of lncRNAs drug resistance in cancer will help clinical cancer treatment program and explore new treatment methods. This paper reviews recent advances in lncRNAs regulating drug resistance of cancer, especially the role of exosomal lncRNAs.

    Abstract This study was designed to systematically elucidate the immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects of three polysaccharide fractions (ACP60, ACP80, and ACPt2) from Abrus cantoniensis on cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppressive mice. The experimental mice were divided into 12 groups, then modeled and administrated with different doses of three polysaccharides (50, 150, 300 mg/kg/day) by gavage. The results showed that ACP could markedly recover the CTX-induced decline in immune organ and hemocytes indexes and promote proliferation of splenocytes, earlap swelling rate, secretion of cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6), and immunoglobulin (Ig-M and Ig-G). Additionally, ACP improved the enzymatic activities of T-SOD and GSH-PX greatly, while the level of MDA was significantly decreased in the liver. In particular, ACPt2 had higher immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities than ACP60 and ACP80. Based on the present findings, ACP could be utilized as an efficacious candidate for immunomodulators and antioxidants, which provide a new application prospect in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

    Abstract An experimental model of a corner-injected flow is built to investigate the turbulent flow behavior by employing the PIV technique. The influences of the ideal tangential circle, the additive particles and the initial gas mass flux on the corner-injected flow are analyzed systematically. To be specific, the flow deviation, the velocity profile, the vortex evolution and the turbulent flow development are discussed quantitatively. The influences of the increasing ideal tangential circle on the turbulent jet deviation are shortened gradually, and the impinging circles are obviously narrowed with the injection of particles. The gas-particle corner-injected flow can obtain a good rotation when the ideal tangential circle is 0.25 times the width of the impinging chamber. The momentum decay of the corner-injected flow diminishes with the increasing ideal tangential circle and the decreasing initial gas velocity. The rotation strength of the vortex is more affected by the injection of laden particles, while the angular distortion enhances when increasing the ideal tangential circle. The increasing initial gas mass flux plays a dominant role in the development of the corner-injected flow, secondly the increasing ideal tangential circle, and last the injection of particles. All these findings can provide theoretical support in the design of a corner-fired furnace.

    Abstract Plant rhizosphere soil contains a large number of plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria, which can not only resist the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms and protect plants from damage, but also promote the growth and development of plants. In this study, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain YY322, isolated and screened from the rhizosphere soil of saffron ( Crocus sativus L.), was found through a plate confrontation experiment to show highly effectual and obvious antagonistic activity against the pathogens of saffron, including Fusarium oxysporum , Fusarium solani , Penicillium citreosulfuratum , Penicillium citrinum and Stromatinia gladioli . In addition, the volatile organic compounds of strain YY322 had great antagonistic activity against these pathogens. Observation under a scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope reflected that strain YY322 had a significant effect on the hyphae and conidia of F. oxysporum and F. solani . Through the detection of degrading enzymes, it was found that P. aeruginosa can secrete protease and glucanase. The plant growth promoting performance was evaluated, finding that strain YY322 had the functions of dissolving phosphorus, fixing nitrogen, producing siderophore and producing NH 3 . In addition, whole genome sequencing analysis indicated that the YY322 genome is comprised of a 6,382,345-bp circular chromosome, containing 5809 protein-coding genes and 151 RNA genes. The P. aeruginosa YY322 genome encodes genes related to phenazine ( phzABDEFGIMRS ), hydrogen cyanide(HCN) ( hcnABC ), surfactin ( srfAA ), salicylate ( pchA ), biofilm formation ( flgBCDEFGHIJKL , motAB , efp , hfq ), and colonization ( minCDE , yjbB , lysC ). These results collectively indicated the role of P. aeruginosa YY322 in plant growth enhancement and biocontrol mechanisms. All in all, this study provides a theoretical basis for P. aeruginosa as the PGPR of saffron, paving the way for the subsequent development and utilization of microbial fertilizer.
