The increased demand for energy in China has generated concomitant increase of carbon emissions, which poses an unprecedented challenge to China's, and even global, sustainable development. In this paper, from the perspective of provincial carbon emissions, we analyze China's carbon emissions...

In China, Rapid economic growth has stimulated fast urban expansion and rural household income and consumption expenditure. In current paper, an input-output method is used to determine the impact of China's increased urban and rural household consumption on carbon emissions. The results shows...

Based on product differentiation, this paper researches the innovation of agricultural biotechnology. In the duopoly structure, the company's investment in innovation is affected by the product differentiation, and the greater the difference, the greater the willingness to increase investment...

This paper studies the potential effects of agricultural enterprise’s vertical integration and reverse engineering on downstream firms. Suppliers who invest reverse engineering technology can exploit customer’s information. An integrated supplier can obtain at no cost the...

Chronic exposure to hexavalent chromium compounds [Cr(VI)] is associated with an increased risk of cancers, but the molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, we found that CXCL5 levels in peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) and plasma from workers with occupational exposure to...

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal oxides (TMOs) are widely applied in various research fields. A reliable, general, and facile synthetic protocol applicable for a large variety of 2D TMOs is in emergent demand. S-S/Se-Se bonds widely exist in various metal sulfide/selenide layered crystals....

In this paper, micro harmonic vibration was applied to the typical titanium alloys at different frequencies to clarify their damping performance at cryogenic temperatures. The effects of vibration modulus at different frequencies were elaborately analyzed, and the crack propagation mechanism was...

Most of China’s CO2 emissions are related to energy consumption in its cities. Thus, cities are critical for implementing China’s carbon emissions mitigation policies. In this study, we employ an input-output model to calculate consumption-based CO2 emissions for thirteen Chinese cities and...

Only four states used auction in Phase Ⅰ (2005-2007) of the European Union Emission Trading System, of which four used a uniform-price sealed auction format. Here we discuss whether the auction should adopt a uniform-price or discriminatory-price format using an agent-based carbon allowances...
