How to Improve Regional Innovation Quality From the Perspective of Green Development? Findings From Entropy Weight Method and Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Innovation is increasingly becoming the most crucial and effective way to tackle climate change and environmental pollution. Recently, innovation quality has received continuous attention from scholars, entrepreneurs and policymakers. It is necessary to measure innovation quality from the perspective of green development. Based on the statistics data of 30 provincial-level innovation systems in China, this study comprehensively evaluates regional innovation quality and identifies the configuration of factors which could lead to high regional innovation quality. Firstly, this study establishes an indicator system of measuring regional innovation quality which includes seven indicators from three aspects of technological, economic and ecological benefit of innovative activities, and entropy weight method is used to comprehensively evaluate regional innovation quality. The result reveals there are big differences between different regions in China in innovation quality. In terms of three economic regions in China, innovation quality in the eastern region is the highest, followed by the central region and the lowest in the western region. Then, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis method is applied, which uncovers three configurations of factors that could lead to high regional innovation quality. Finally, the conclusion of this study provides policy pathways for improving regional innovation quality.

Ex-ante adaptation strategies for climate challenges in sub-Saharan Africa: Macro and micro perspectives

Farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are facing serious consequences from climate change, which pose obstacles to meeting UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as zero hunger, ending poverty, ensuring healthy lives, and promoting wellbeing. In light of these growing challenges, we used data collected in 2018 from farm households in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique to investigate the climate threats encountered by farmers and the ex-ante climate risk adaptation strategies they adopted. Drought, floods, hailstorms, and crop pests and diseases were the most common climate threats in these countries. Unlike previous studies, we also assessed the adaptive capacity at the macro level by using secondary data. We reviewed the factors that affect the adaptive capacity of each nation to address climate risks. At the micro-level, we assessed the factors influencing the choice of ex-ante adaptation measures by using primary data collected from 4351 farm households. Micro-level data also include the variables that indicate the adaptive capacity of farm households, such as asset ownership, demographic characteristics, and participation in local institutions. Results showed five major ex-ante climate risk adaptation strategies – change in farming practice, sustainable land management, seek alternative livelihood, saving, and other unspecified strategies – are prevalent in the region. We used a multivariate probit model to investigate the factors explaining the choice of ex-ante climate risk adaptation strategy. Results showed that female-headed households and households with married heads were more likely than male-headed households to change farming practices to adapt to climate risk. Surprisingly, land ownership was found to be insignificant in all cases. Relatively rich families tended to apply either change in farming practice or saving as a measure to adapt to climate risks. Training on climate-smart agriculture was found to enhance the adoption of sustainable land management as adaptation strategies by farm households. Our findings exhibit substantial differences within and among countries regarding the adoption of ex-ante climate adaptation strategies by farm households. In comparison to farmers in Mozambique's northern region, farmers in all other locations were more likely to apply agricultural measures such as change in farming practice and sustainable land management, while they were more likely to apply non-agricultural measures to adapt to risk. Macro-level indicators show that national adaptive capacity is substantially low in all countries, but considerably varies across them.

Urban Walking: Configuring the Modern City as Cultural and Spatial Practice

This dissertation explores the aesthetics of spatial politics and the politics of spatial aesthetics in urban literature and culture from the early twentieth century to the post-industrial era. It develops a theoretical framework on urban walking by intersecting, among other theories, Walter Benjamin's concept of flânerie as a form of perambulating social criticism; Guy Debord's idea of the drive as the drifting journey without an official map; Michel de Certeau's city walking as a rhetorical tactic for creative resistance; as well as the theories of walking by New Urbanists and theories of digital flnerie performing urban walking through virtual windows. The dissertation considers urban walking as both a theoretical method and cultural practice to contend that the experience of the city on foot not only replicates but profoundly shapes social relations and identities, helping with the progressive transformation of space and society. This argument is explored with the help of diverse corpus including urban literature, paintings, and artistic self-performances. The dissertation includes the following thematic foci and works: embodiment in Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie and James Joyce's Ulysses; gender in the body sculptures and poetry by Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven and oil paintings by Florine Stettheimer; temporal shifts in Djuna Barne's Nightwood and Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City; and ethnic and cultural alterity in the post-9/11 fiction of Joseph ONeill and Teju Cole. The dissertation is framed by the authors' personal and photographic evocations of walking as a practice of acculturation to Toronto over more than a decade. Ultimately, by pivoting between theory and practice, text and visual, the study advances the field of urban walking as a dynamic and underexplored scholarly space for politically engaged interventions responding to the economic, gender, racial, and ecological urgencies of our era.

Analysis of Cell Configuration Effects on Nuclear Characteristics in a Lead-Bismuth Cooled Core for TRU Incineration

Abstract Sensitivity of the core characteristics to the fuel pin cell parameters change is analyzed for a lead-bismuth cooled reactor to incinerate transuranic nuclides. The pitch-to-diameter ratio is changed for a parametric study to investigate the effects of the coolant-to-fuel ratio. Not only the Zr-based fuel of TRU+Zr but also the Th-based fuel of TRU+Th+Zr is considered in order to investigate the sensitivity of nuclear characteristics of the fuel pin cell to neutron energy spectrum as well as effects of the fuel type on the core performance. For the sensitivity analyses, the neutron spectrum, the criticality performance parameters, and the non-fissile actinides destruction factor are evaluated. The obtained results clarify the unique property of nuclear characteristics of the fuel pin cell and give some useful information for design optimization of a lead-bismuth cooled reactor for TRU transmutation.

Rhodium-Prussian Blue modified carbon paste electrode (Rh-PBMCPE) for amperometric detection of hydrogen peroxide

Prussian Blue was deposited at carbon paste electrode surface from a solution containing 2.0 x 10-3 mol L-1 K3[Fe(CN)6], 3.0 x 10-3 mol L-1 FeCl3 and 1.0 x 10-2 mol L-1 HCl using two controlled potentials. To improve the stability of the modified electrode it was 50 times cycled in a solution containing 1.0 x 10-3 mol L-1 RhCl3, 0.50 mol L-1 KCl and 0.010 mol L-1 HCl in the potential range from - 0.40 V to 0.60 V at 60 mV s-1. The Rh - Prussian Blue carbon paste modified electrode (Rh-PBMCPE) showed good stability during amperometric catalytic determination of H2O2 at 0.040 V, without ascorbic and uric acids interferences. The current changed linearly with H2O2 concentrations in the range of 5.0 x 10-5 - 8.6 x 10-4 mol L-1. The estimated detection limit was 2.8 x 10-5 mol L-1 with sensibility changing from 1.32 to 0.96 A mol-1 L cm-2 along five days (180 determinations).

Long-term non-pharmacological weight loss interventions for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Weight loss strategies using dietary, physical activity, or behavioral interventions produced small between-group improvements in weight. These results were minimized by weight loss in the comparison group, however, and examination of individual study arms revealed that multicomponent interventions including very low calorie diets or low calorie diets may hold promise for achieving weight loss in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Gods in the Bazaar: The Economies of Indian Calendar Art

Gods in the Bazaar is a fascinating account of the printed images known in India as "calendar art" or "bazaar art," the color-saturated, mass-produced pictures often used on calendars and in advertisements, featuring deities and other religious themes as well as nationalist leaders, alluring women, movie stars, chubby babies, and landscapes. Calendar art appears in all manner of contexts in India: in chic elite living rooms, middle-class kitchens, urban slums, village huts; hung on walls, stuck on scooters and computers, propped up on machines, affixed to dashboards, tucked into wallets and lockets. In this beautifully illustrated book, Kajri Jain examines the power that calendar art wields in Indian mass culture, arguing that its meanings derive as much from the production and circulation of the images as from their visual features.Jain draws on interviews with artists, printers, publishers, and consumers as well as analyses of the prints themselves to trace the economies-of art, commerce, religion, and desire-within which calendar images and ideas about them are formulated. For Jain, an analysis of the bazaar, or vernacular commercial arena, is crucial to understanding not only the calendar art that circulates within the bazaar but also India's postcolonial modernity and the ways that its mass culture has developed in close connection with a religiously inflected nationalism. The bazaar is characterized by the coexistence of seemingly incompatible elements: bourgeois-liberal and neoliberal modernism on the one hand, and vernacular discourses and practices on the other. Jain argues that from the colonial era to the present, capitalist expansion has depended on the maintenance of these multiple coexisting realms: the sacred, the commercial, and the artistic; the official and the vernacular

New findings regarding light intensity and its effects as a zeitgeber in the Sprague-Dawley rat.

Circadian rhythmicities are oscillations of physiological cycles designed to create temporal organization. Circadian rhythms ensure that physiological mechanisms are expressed in proper relationship to each other and the 24 hour day. Light is the main zeitgeber ("time giver") for biological clocks. The daily variations in light intensity from dawn to dusk, and seasonally due to the rotation of the earth, act upon organisms to give them photoperiodic information. This entrainment allows them to vary biologically to prepare for reproduction, hibernation, migration and the daily adaptations necessary for survival. In most mammals, the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus has been implicated as the central diving mechanism of circadian rhythmicity. The photic input from the retina, via the retino-hypothalamic tract, and modulation from the pineal gland help regulate the clock. In this study we investigated the effects of low light intensity on the circadian system of the Sprague-Dawley rat. A series of light intensity experiments were conducted to determine if a light level of 0.1 Lux will maintain entrained circadian rhythms of feeding, drinking, and locomotor activity.

On the Chromosomes of the Ring Dove, Streptopelia Risoria.

The chromosome number of the ring dove has been reported by Guyer (19o2) and Hance (1932).Guyer found that the diploid number in the spermatogonium was 16, while Hance recently reported that the number in pigeons and doves was probably 50 or more, and that the sex mechanism was essentially as represented by Oguma, the sex chromosome being the largest in the complex.Oguma (1927) reported on the chromosomes of the pigeon, Columba livia, which is in close relation with the ring dove, and elucidated that (I) the diploid number of chromosomes was 6z in the male and 61 in the female and (z) as to the sex chromosomes the male was X X and the female XO.According to the studies on the sex-linked inheritance in the ring dove made by the senior author (Tange, 1934) the male was recognized to be homozygous in sex and the female heterozygous.The present studies were made to determine the chromosome number in the testes Qf the ring dove, the technical procedure being carried out by the junior author.The testes were taken from the birds reared at the authors' Laboratory, and the fixatives used were as follows :Flemming's strong solution without acetic acid, (ii) the same fluid diluted to i/z or 1/3 of its strength, (iii) Champy's solution, and (iv) the same fluid diluted to I/2. or 1/3 of its strength.Of these the Flemming's strong solution without acetic acid diluted to 1/3 of its strength seemed to be the best.Chura's picro-glacial acetic acid bath (Chura, 1925) modified or more strongly concentrated and used by Minouchi (1927) was employed to remove the cellular inclusion as well as to intensify the staining capacity of the chromatin.The sections were stained with Heidenhain's iron-alum-haematoxylin. 66 chromosomes were seen in the spermatogonia.1 metaphase as shown in Figs.i and z.They consisted of 4 large V-shaped, 2 long rod-like, o medium sized V-shaped or rod-like, 4 shorter rod-like, and 46 dot-like

Phase behavior and minimum miscibility pressures for nitrogen miscible displacement: Topical report

The phase behavior and minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) for nitrogen with light oils were studied. The phase behavior studies were performed on N/sub 2/ + hydrocarbon mixtures as well as N/sub 2/ + recombined oil systems at high pressures (above 4,000 psia). The synthetic oil system of N/sub 2/ + C/sub 1/ + C/sub 4/ + C/sub 10/ was studied to approximate the phase behavior of crude oils with nitrogen and to investigate the effect of the presence of methane on phase behavior and N/sub 2/ MMP values. The phase behavior data are used in a computer simulator to match the slim tube displacement behavior and to provide an estimate of the MMP. The N/sub 2/ + recombined oil studies provide the complex behavior of multicomponent systems. Adjustment of parameters to predict the phase envelope has been made in order to use these parameters in equations-of-state (EOS) for predictions at various reservoir conditions. This provides a cross-check of the conditions of miscibility achieved during the slim tube experiments. Experimental runs were performed in a slim tube apparatus to determine the MMP of stock-tank oils with nitrogen, recombined oils, and synthetic oils at pressures up to 10,000 psia and temperatures frommore » 200 to 300 F. These experiments were performed using stock-tank oils with API gravities of 50.8/sup 0/ and 61.5/sup 0/, recombined at different gas-oil ratios (GOR). The experimental results indicate the important contribution of light and intermediate components of crude oil in decreasing the MMP and show the variation in oil recovery as a function of temperature. Similar N/sub 2/ MMP tests were performed on two synthetic mixtures containing C/sub 1/, C/sub 2/, C/sub 3/, C/sub 4/, C/sub 5/, C/sub 6/, C/sub 7/, C/sub 8/, C/sub 9/, C/sub 10/, and C/sub 12/. These studies will provide useful information for the implementation of the N/sub 2/ miscible displacement process. 26 refs., 28 figs., 7 tabs.« less
