carbon; climate change; data collection; issues and policy; China
Abstract:
... To combat climate change and move towards carbon neutrality, China has implemented the low-carbon city pilot (LCCP) policy since 2010, with carrying out three batches of pilot cities so far. Despite the large-scale construction of low-carbon cities, we still know little about whether they could effectively improve carbon emission efficiency (CEE). Using a dataset of 285 cities in China spanning 20 ...

Abstract:
... Spatiotemporal image fusion is a potential way to resolve the constraint between the spatial and temporal resolutions of satellite images and has been developed rapidly in recent years. However, two key challenges related to fusion accuracy remain: a) reducing the uncertainty of image fusion caused by sensor differences and b) addressing strong temporal changes. To solve the above two issues, this ...

Abstract:
... Surface currents in the equatorial Pacific play a key role in determining thermohaline structures in the upper ocean, thus acting to modulate the tropical Pacific mean state and interannual variability. In turn, the thermohaline structure and its variability can also affect surface currents by changing ocean density and pressure gradients. Currently, the thermohaline effects on the surface current ...

Abstract:
... KCNQ1, a voltage-gated potassium ion channel, plays an important role in various physiological processes, including osteoblast differentiation in higher animals. However, its function in lower invertebrates such as marine shellfish remains poorly understood. Pearl oysters, such as P. fucata martensii, are ideal for studying biomineralisation. In this study, a full-length cDNA of KCNQ1 from P. fuca ...
