Analysis of Fouling Pattern of Tunnel Drainage Pipe in Karst Areas by Jianbing Lv, Hao Wu, Jia Li, Xiaodong Wan, Helin Fu

“…In this paper, we consider the force situation of crystalline solids in the pipe by water flow, analyze the related theories, comprehensively study the migration and deposition law of crystalline particles in the drainage pipe, and establish a numerical simulation model of the pipe crystallization rate considering temperature, flow velocity and concentration of sediment particles based on ANSYS FLUENT software, and refine and analyze several parameters in the model, so that it can provide a theoretical analysis framework for the tunnel drainage pipe blockage in karst areas by providing a theoretical analysis framework.…”

How does agricultural insurance influence grain production scale? An income-mediated perspective by Dainan Hou, Xin Wang, Xin Wang

“…This study applies the von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility model, coupled with theories on economies of scale, technology diffusion, and rational choice, to examine the theoretical links between agricultural insurance, farmers’ income, and grain production scale.ResultsUsing panel data from 27 Chinese provinces between 2011 and 2021, analyzed through fixed-effects and mediation models, the study finds that agricultural insurance positively, albeit moderately, impacts the scale of grain production, with farmers’ income serving as a partial mediating factor.DiscussionBased on these findings, we recommend expanding agricultural insurance coverage, developing a multi-level insurance framework, and enhancing insurance protection levels to bolster sustainable agricultural development and food security in China.…”

Path Optimization of Enterprise Network Innovation Performance Management Based on Deep Learning and Internet of Things by Peiran Xiong

“…The main contents of this study include the following. (1) Through the collation and review of the related theories of network relationship strength, technological learning cost and technological innovation performance, and the existing research results, the theoretical model of this study is established, and the theoretical assumptions of this study are put forward. (2) A presurvey is carried out first, and the data collected from the presurvey are used to test the reliability and validity of the scale of this study, and the appropriate measurement scales for the strength of network relationship, technology learning cost, and technology innovation performance are determined. (3) Adopt the method of regression analysis combined with the SME method, to verify this paper builds the theoretical model, and further clarify the network relation intensity, technology acquisition cost, and cost of technological learning all dimensions and performance of technological innovation and network strength, technological learning mechanism between cost, and performance of technological innovation.…”
