In real life, garbage has caused great pollution to the environment. A garbage classification system is an effective way to manage this issue, and is an innovation in Shanghai, China. Innovation diffusion is the topic of this paper. This study uses a...
Lumped hydrological modeling approaches based on the Rational Method (RM) continue to be used in engineering practice despite the advent of various sophisticated hydrological modeling tools in the past decades. While the simplicity, low data requirem...
Industrial symbiosis network (ISN) is crucial to improving resource utilization efficiency and promoting sustainable development. In order to mitigate the damage caused to symbiotic systems by risk propagation, this paper constructs a directed weight...
We have developed a set of DNA circuits that execute during gel electrophoresis to yield immobile, fluorescent features in the gel. The parallel execution of orthogonal circuits led to the simultaneous production of different fluorescent lines at dif...
Organization of rural tourism resources is important for optimizing rural land use based on rational resource classification. Quantitative analysis was performed to evaluate the resource control ability of rural tourism networks. This was achieved by...
Irrational transfer of carbon emissions in the supply chain refers to the phenomenon that after the transfer of carbon emissions occurs, the profits of any party in the supply chain are reduced compared to before the transfer. Identifying and optimiz...
Reservoir engineering plays a critical role in achieving rational water resource allocation, providing ecological services, and promoting regional development. However, in the formulation of water allocation plans, there is often a tendency to priori...
Heparin mimetics are synthetic and semi-synthetic compounds that are highly sulfated, structurally distinct analogues of glycosaminoglycans. These mimetics are often rationally designed to increase potency and binding selectivity towards specific pro...
