Coupling Coordination between Technology Transfer in Universities and High-Tech Industries Development in China by Haining Fang, Qing Yang, Jinmei Wang, Xingxing Liu

“…The coupling coordination index (CCI) and productivity index (PI) are introduced to derive the spatiotemporal characteristics of the coupling and coordination of TTU and HTID from 2010 to 2019 in China and analyze its influence factors by System-Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM). The results show the following: (1) the overall national TTU-HTID CCI shows a gradual upward trend and large regional differences; (2) CCI of most provinces is increasing, but the differences are widening; (3) the national TTU PI is in a state of volatility and decline, but the ability of TTU is still much higher than the level of HTID; (4) technological innovation in high-tech industries, high-tech industry technology absorption capacity, high-tech industry development level, industry-university cooperation, and technological finance development have significant roles in promoting the coupling coordination of TTU-HTID. …”

Spatial analysis of teen births near the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site by Nicole V DeVille, Carolina Villanueva, Susan A Korrick, Verónica M Vieira

“…We examined associations between teen births (age < 20 years) from 1993–2009 and maternal residence at time of birth among mothers living in towns adjacent to the NBH Superfund site. We used generalized additive models with a smooth of residential location to predict teen birth risk among 29 472 births, adjusted for maternal race/ethnicity, birth country, and source of payment for prenatal care. …”
