A novel approach of gravity strength centrality (GSC) model is proposed to identify the influential risk spreaders in Chinese financial networks. We also measure the systemic risk contribution of financial institutions via ∆CoVaR and detect the relationship between the risk spreading ability...

This paper studies the risk spreading ability of cryptocurrencies and their contribution to the systemic risk during the period from 2018 to 2022. Three different network centrality approaches are employed to measure the risk spreading ability of cryptocurrencies both in breadth and depth, and...

Background Foodborne disease is a great concern to low- and middle-income countries. To prevent illness and death, intervention strategies need to be implemented across the food safety system and should include promoting the adoption of safe food handling practices. The positive association...

Appropriately integration of encapsulating plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) in functionalized nanoshells to enable the monitoring of free and complexed heavy metals with enhanced sensitivity and stability is desired and challenging. In this study, we reported arc-produced few-layered graphite...

Agricultural food production in China is deeply vulnerable to extreme droughts. Although there are many studies to evaluate this issue from different aspects, comprehensive assessments with full consideration of climate change, crop rotations, irrigation effects, and socioeconomic factors in...

The information provided by blockchains of cryptocurrencies is immense and diverse. Blockchain information are represented by networks, the transaction network and the user network, approximated by the entity network. We review heuristics for constructing the entity network out of the...

Solar-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting for hydrogen generation is regarded as a sustainable strategy to relieve fossil resource issue. However, its PEC conversion efficiency still suffers from the low light absorption and high electron-hole recombination. Herein, we report 1D/2D...
