The Historical and Theoretical Rationale for Ecological Protection and Restoration: Experiences from China by Xiaotong Han, Zhengfu Bian, Haochen Yu, Shaogang Lei, Yibo Zhao, Yingjie Guo

“…Utilizing a literature review method, logical reasoning method, and inductive summarizing method, the historical and theoretical frameworks of territorial spatial ecological conservation and restoration are elucidated, leading to the following conclusions: (1) The ecological protection and restoration of national land space represents an advanced form of land remediation; however, they differ in terms of objects, principles, goals, and measures. (2) Territorial space ecological protection and restoration is historically unavoidable due to the current phase of societal development, driven by the natural environment and the necessity to establish an ecological civilization. (3) To implement territorial spatial ecological protection and restoration effectively and rationally, it is essential to comprehend its systematicity, territoriality, dynamics, and scientificity. …”

Evolutionary Game Simulation on Government Incentive Strategies of Prefabricated Construction: A System Dynamics Approach by Baoquan Cheng, Yuhu Wei, Wei Zhang, Xintao Zhou, Huihua Chen, Lipeng Huang, Jianling Huang, Xiaofang Kang

“…Results show that (1) the evolutionary stable strategy does not exist in static game process; (2) the rate of adopting prefabricated construction is affected by the level of penalties and subsidies; (3) dynamic incentive strategies can better improve the stability of the evolutionary game process; and (4) the rational range of incentive rate can be obtained. Findings of this study facilitate governments to formulate and improve the incentive strategies of prefabricated construction, thus boosting the development of construction industrialization.…”

Fuzzy Theory-Based Data Placement for Scientific Workflows in Hybrid Cloud Environments by Zheyi Chen, Xu Zhao, Bing Lin

“…To address this problem, we propose an adaptive discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm based on the fuzzy theory and genetic algorithm operators (DPSO-FGA) to minimize the fuzzy data transmission time of scientific workflows. The DPSO-FGA can rationally place the scientific workflow data while meeting the requirements of data privacy and the capacity limitations of data centers. …”
