This research focuses on developing a comprehensive understanding of plant dust retention resilience in older residential neighborhoods, emphasizing protection, recovery, and sustainability. Plant ...dust retention resilience encompasses the ability of plant combinations to respond to emergencies, cooperate with emergency service systems, adapt effectively, recover swiftly from disasters, and enhance future sustainability. Key quantitative indicators include the scale of green space and the structure of plant arrangements, with a focus on types and factors affecting plant arrangement structure. Data processing involves the selection of relevant indicators, the Delphi Method for indicator screening, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process for indicator weight determination. Data sources include environmental reports, government websites, measurements, and satellite images. The research establishes a comprehensive evaluation indicator system for plant dust retention resilience and a resilience capacity model for plants in old residential areas. The results suggest that the best plant configuration model for dust retention resilience capacity includes a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs with a significant grass component.
This paper delves into the convergence of plant physiology and landscape architecture, with the overarching objective of establishing a comprehensive framework for the creation of sustainable garden ...designs. The fusion of these disciplines allows landscape architects to harness a profound understanding of the intricate needs and intrinsic characteristics of plants. In doing so, they can craft gardens that not only exhibit resilience but also harmonize with the environment, all while appealing to the senses. This exploration encompasses a broad spectrum of plant physiological aspects, embracing themes like water and nutrient uptake, the intricate process of photosynthesis, and the complex responses plants exhibit when subjected to stressors. Furthermore, this paper extends its purview to practical applications of this botanical knowledge in the realm of garden design. It underscores the pivotal role played by plant physiology in guiding decisions regarding plant selection, the thoughtful arrangement of garden elements, and the implementation of maintenance practices. The ultimate aspiration is to underscore the significance of adopting a scientifically informed approach within landscape architecture—a mindset that can pave the way toward the creation of healthier, more sustainable, and aesthetically captivating outdoor spaces. Through this holistic integration of plant physiology and landscape architecture, we embark on a journey towards the conception of gardens that are not just visually appealing but also ecologically meaningful and enduring.

With the continuous increase in fossil fuels consumption and the rapid growth of atmospheric CO2 concentration, the harmonious state between human and nature faces severe challenges. Exploring green ...and sustainable energy resources and devising efficient methods for CO2 capture, sequestration and utilization are urgently required. Converting CO2 into fuels/chemicals/materials as an indispensable element for CO2 capture, sequestration and utilization may offer a win-win strategy to both decrease the CO2 concentration and achieve the efficient exploitation of carbon resources. Among the current major methods (including chemical, photochemical, electrochemical and enzymatic methods), the enzymatic method, which is inspired by the CO2 metabolic process in cells, offers a green and potent alternative for efficient CO2 conversion due to its superior stereo-specificity and region/chemo-selectivity. Thus, in this tutorial review, we firstly provide a brief background about enzymatic conversion for CO2 capture, sequestration and utilization. Next, we depict six major routes of the CO2 metabolic process in cells, which are taken as the inspiration source for the construction of enzymatic systems in vitro. Next, we focus on the state-of-the-art routes for the catalytic conversion of CO2 by a single enzyme system and by a multienzyme system. Some emerging approaches and materials utilized for constructing single-enzyme/multienzyme systems to enhance the catalytic activity/stability will be highlighted. Finally, a summary about the current advances and the future perspectives of the enzymatic conversion of CO2 will be presented.
Plant resistance genes typically encode proteins with nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat (NLR) domains. Here we show that Ptr is an atypical resistance gene encoding a protein with four ...Armadillo repeats. Ptr is required for broad-spectrum blast resistance mediated by the NLR R gene Pi-ta and by the associated R gene Pi-ta2. Ptr is expressed constitutively and encodes two isoforms that are mainly localized in the cytoplasm. A two base pair deletion within the Ptr coding region in the fast neutron-generated mutant line M2354 creates a truncated protein, resulting in susceptibility to M. oryzae. Targeted mutation of Ptr in a resistant cultivar using CRISPR/Cas9 leads to blast susceptibility, further confirming its resistance function. The cloning of Ptr may aid in the development of broad spectrum blast resistant rice.
With the development of economic globalization, the problem of unequal distribution of globalization dividends among and within countries has become increasingly serious, and reverse globalization ...has a great impact on the national economy and export trade. This paper uses the KOF Globalization Index and the world input-output tables in World Input-Output Database (WIOD), and empirically studies the transformation of a country’s export trade and export structure in the context of reverse globalization from the perspectives of world, country, industry, subdivided manufacturing and service industry. The results show that reverse globalization has a significant non-linear negative effect on economic development and export trade. Compared with developed and European Union (EU) countries, the exports of developing and non-EU countries are more affected by reverse globalization shocks. Reverse globalization has the greatest inhibition on the secondary industry exports, followed by the tertiary industry. The suppressive effects on the exports of 12 subdivided manufacturing and 14 subdivided service in China are significantly greater than that of the United States, but most of sub-industry exports in the United States are more sensitive. Besides, China’s exports of high-product-complexity industry such as metal products, medicinal chemicals, electrical and optical products and mechanical equipments are greatly affected by reverse globalization, while the exports of water transportation, construction, land transportation are relatively less restrained.
The room temperature gas sensing properties of the Co3O4 intercalated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) based thick film semiconductor sensors were investigated. The Co3O4–rGO composite based sensors ...showed a much higher response to NO2 at room temperature compared to the rGO based sensors. However, with an increase in the rGO concentration from 5wt% to 30wt%, the response showed a decreasing tendency. The sensor response to NO2 was not fully recovered within the measurement time (∼20min) due to the much strong adsorption of NO2 at the defective sites of rGO. In contrast, the sensors using rGO showed a fast response and full recovery to methanol. This has been proposed to be exclusively due to the interaction of methanol with the sp2 bonding of the carbon. Similarly, with Co3O4 intercalated rGO, the response was significantly enhanced and the response/recovery time was within 1–2min. Two possible reasons have been discussed including the increased surface area of the rGO thick film by the intercalation of Co3O4 nanocrystals and the Co3+-carbon coupling effect for the rapid response.
