Driven by unprecedented economic development, China has experienced a rapid urbanization for more than four decades. Such a record speed and scale of China’s urbanization has posed significant challenges to urban sustainability, which are especially critical for ecological fragile cities in...

This paper proposes a general method to extend a standard input-output (IO) table to incorporate firm heterogeneity when portraying the domestic segment of global value chains in a country. We develop a quadratic optimization model to estimate an extended IO table that reports inter-sector...

This study uses an agent-based model (ABM), called KohTaoSim, to represent the complex dynamics of a dive-tourism related social ecological system (SES), using the island of Koh Tao, Thailand as a case study. The results of testing KohTaoSim under different environmental and management scenarios...

To effectively restore the groundwater environment of the Shiping Mine (SPM) area, which is contaminated by acid mine drainage (AMD), a hydrogeochemical conceptual model was constructed based on groundwater chemistry and environmental stable isotopes. The contribution rate of various pollution...

Borate-based bioglass has attract more interest as a bone repair material due to its good machinability and degradability, but the quick release of boron produce cytotoxicity is a question need be taken into consideration. In this paper, borate-based bioglass scaffolds substituted by 0-9 mol%...
