From digitalization to green transformation: empirical evidence from RCEP’s industrial sectors by Lu Wan, Xiya Wan, Yanqi Fang, Guohua Huang

“…Our findings indicate that while the digitalization of services under the RCEP significantly propels the green technology development in China’s manufacturing, this beneficial effect is dampened by increasingly rigid regulations governing digital services trade. The operational proficiency and innovative capacity of the manufacturing sector emerge as pivotal mediators in this dynamic. …”

In Vitro Sustained Release Study of Gallic Acid Coated with Magnetite-PEG and Magnetite-PVA for Drug Delivery System by Dena Dorniani, Aminu Umar Kura, Samer Hasan Hussein-Al-Ali, Mohd Zobir Bin Hussein, Sharida Fakurazi, Abdul Halim Shaari, Zalinah Ahmad

“…Release behavior of gallic acid from two nanocomposites showed that FPEGG and FPVAG nanocomposites were found to be sustained and governed by pseudo-second-order kinetics. Anticancer activity of the two nanocomposites shows that the FPEGG demonstrated higher anticancer effect on the breast cancer cell lines in almost all concentrations tested compared to FPVAG.…”

Comparisons of Tensile Fracturing Behaviors of Hydraulic Fully Graded and Wet-Screened Concretes: A Mesoscale Study by Lei Xu, Yongmiao Jin, Shuaizhao Jing, Jie Liu, Yefei Huang, Changqiao Zhou

“…All the mean values of the macroscopic mechanical parameters related to tensile fracturing behaviors are found to show significant change in response to wet-screening, and the underlying differentiation mechanism and governing factor(s) are identified. Furthermore, it is shown that the randomness of the investigated parameters can be roughly described by the Gaussian distribution, and the dispersion of each of the investigated parameters of hydraulic fully graded concrete is higher than that of the corresponding wet-screened concrete.…”

Integrated Pest Management for Mosquito Reduction around Homes and Neighborhoods by C. Roxanne Rutledge Connelly, Elizabeth Bolles, D. Culbert, James DeValerio, Michael Donahoe, K. Gabel, R. Jordi, J. McLaughlin, Anita Neal, Sally Scalera, E. Toro, Joseph Walter

“… This 40-page publication describes how homeowners can use an integrated pest management (IPM) program to help decrease pesticide use, reduce the risk of contracting mosquito-borne diseases, and ease the financial burden on local governments responsible for area-wide control. Modern mosquito control emphasizes source reduction to eliminate areas where mosquitoes thrive; surveillance to determine whether pesticide applications are necessary; screening; sanitation; and other techniques described in this document. …”

Vibration of a Cylindrical Tunnel under a Centric Point-Source Explosion by Yuetang Zhao, Cheng Chu, Anastasios Vafeidis, Jie Li

“…In this paper, the dynamic response of a cylindrical tunnel to an ideal centric point explosion was treated as an axisymmetric 2-dimensional problem, in which the tunnel was modeled with a continuous anisotropic shell, while the ground medium’s effect was accounted for with linear elastic Winkler springs and the explosive loading described by a temporal and spatial function. The governing equation of the motion is a fourth-order partial differential equation, for which a numerical method combining finite difference with the implicit Newmark-β method was adopted. …”

Towards the decolonization of the extractive regime: Patterns and limits of judicialization in mining conflicts by María Ximena González-Serrano, Digno José Montalván-Zambrano, Lieselotte Viaene

“…In addition, we identify common patterns in the judicialization of mining conflicts at the domestic and inter-American levels and demonstrate their ineffectiveness in the modification of the regulations governing mining. We conclude with a reflection on new theoretical and methodological paths both in legal practice and in applied theoretical research, possible horizons for the decolonization of law and, in particular, mining law.…”
