Drought-wildfire synergy drives carbon-source transition and amplifies carbon budget uncertainty of boreal forests in Northeast China
Droughts are increasing in frequency and intensity, reducing photosynthesis and causing widespread tree mortality, thereby weakening the boreal forest’s ability to act as a carbon sink. They also indirectly amplify the frequency and severity of wildfires, further affecting the carbon dynamics of boreal forests. We developed a model-coupling framework integrating species-specific drought sensitivity, wildfire dynamics, and forest succession to sim…

Assessing the Suitability of Fractal Dimension for Measuring Graphic Complexity Change in Schematic Metro Networks
Schematization is a process of generating schematic network maps (e.g., metro network maps), where the graphic complexity of networks is usually reduced. In the past two decades, various automated schematization methods have been developed. A quantitative and accurate description of the complexity variation in the schematization is critical to evaluate the usability of schematization methods. It is noticed that fractal dimension (F) has been wide…
An Improved ANN-Based Label Placement Method Considering Surrounding Features for Schematic Metro Maps
On schematic metro maps, high-quality label placement is helpful to passengers performing route planning and orientation tasks. It has been reported that the artificial neural network (ANN) has the potential to place labels with learned labeling knowledge. However, the previous ANN-based method only considered the effects of station points and their connected edges. Indeed, unconnected but surrounding features (points, edges, and labels) also sig…
Regional patterns and trends of compound hot extremes in mainland China: A new objective approach
Compound hot extremes (CHEs) are receiving increasing attention due to their significant impacts on human health, ecosystems, and society compared to individual hot days or nights. While previous studies have focused on the characteristics of CHEs at individual points or stations, assessments of features for regional CHEs (RCHEs), which have a specific impact area and duration, are still lacking. This study aimed to investigate the climatic chara…
Influence of Baduanjin on cardiopulmonary function in long-term practitioners and beginners
Objective Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese exercise for health enhancement and chronic disease prevention, has been practiced for millennia. However, studies on the exercise intensity of Baduanjin are limited. Most existing studies focus on its general health benefits rather than quantifying its specific intensity levels. This study aims to measure and compare the exercise intensity indices of long-term Baduanjin practitioners and beginners, prov…
The Impact of Digital Finance on Income Gap: An Empirical Investigation from the Perspective of Banking Digitalization
This study investigates the heterogenous effect of digital finance on narrowing income gap. It is found that Internet digital finance and digital finance in banking both help narrow income gap and a U-shaped relation is found between digital finance development and income gap. Internet digital finance alleviates information constraints, while digital finance in banking alleviates credit constraints in narrowing income gap. The two forms of digita…

Geochemical Characteristics of Rare-Metal, Rare-Dispersed, and Rare-Earth Elements and Depositional Environments in the Shanxi Formation Coal, Huainan Coalfield, Anhui, China
Coal, being one of the major energy sources for power generation, contains several critical trace elements. There is a growing scarcity and expense of these critical elements as a result of the increased demand and limitation of mining sources. To explore the geochemical characteristics of the rare-metal, rare-dispersed (scattered), and rare-earth elements (TREs) in coal, 25 coal seam samples of the Shanxi Formation in the Huainan coalfield were …
Promoting seasonal prediction capability of the early autumn tropical cyclone formation frequency over the western North Pacific: Effect of Arctic sea ice
Seasonal prediction of tropical cyclone (TC) activity has been a hot research theme in the past decades. Usually, the tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) provide considerable predictability sources for the western North Pacific (WNP) TC activity. Here, we emphasized that the Chukchi-Beaufort (C-B) and Greenland (GL) sea ice variability is closely linked to the year-to-year variations of the early autumn WNP TC formation frequency (TCF). Obse…

‘You are missing a note’: English-medium instruction in music master classes
A growing number of countries internationalise their curriculum by switching to English-medium Instruction (EMI). This strategy is particularly popular in China, where more and more universities offer English-medium courses to raise their international profile (Macaro et al., 2018). Sociolinguistic accounts have been reported on how EMI is perceived and enacted in China as a whole (Hu & Lei, 2014; Fang, 2018), or in particular disciplines, such a…

A Head/Tail Breaks-Based Method for Efficiently Estimating the Absolute Boltzmann Entropy of Numerical Raster Data
Shannon entropy is the most popular method for quantifying information in a system. However, Shannon entropy is considered incapable of quantifying spatial data, such as raster data, hence it has not been applied to such datasets. Recently, a method for calculating the Boltzmann entropy of numerical raster data was proposed, but it is not efficient as it involves a series of numerical processes. We aimed to improve the computational efficiency of…

Mapping the changing Internet attention to the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 in China
The incessant spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a great threat to human health. By 17 March 2020, the number of laboratory-confirmed cases had exceeded 179,000, with more than 7000 deaths across at least 150 countries. Due to the extremely contagious nature of COVID-19, the Chinese government has made broad and aggressive responses to restrict movement, transportation, and business for six to eleven weeks. Wuhan, a city i…
The Effect of Types of Dictionary Presentation on the Retention of Metaphorical Collocations: Involvement Load Hypothesis vs. Cognitive Load Theory
Although conceptual metaphor boxes were introduced in Macmillan English Dictionary over a decade ago, the effect of this innovative presentation on the retention of metaphorical collocations remains unclear. To fill this gap, this paper reports on a study involving 70 Chinese EFL learners, who were randomly assigned into three groups. They were exposed to three types of collocation presentation, varying in terms of availability and salience of co…
