The political origins of platform economy regulations. Understanding variations in governing Airbnb and Uber across cities in Switzerland

open access: yesPolicy &Internet, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 736-754, December 2022., 2022
Abstract In the past decade, digital platforms have entrenched themselves within key urban sectors, opening the way for radical changes in traditional industries. Along with new opportunities for city residents, globally operating platforms such as Airbnb and Uber also raised specific challenges, sparking calls for adequate responses by city ...

A counterfactual approach to measure the impact of wet grassland conservation on U.K. breeding bird populations

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1575-1585, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Wet grassland populations of wading birds in the United Kingdom have declined severely since 1990. To help mitigate these declines, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has restored and managed lowland wet grassland nature reserves to benefit these and other species.

Trends in seabird breeding populations across the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 846-858, June 2021., 2021
Abstract The Great Barrier Reef is an iconic ecosystem, known globally for its rich marine biodiversity that includes many thousands of tropical breeding seabirds. Despite indications of localized declines in some seabird species from as early as the mid‐1990s, trends in seabird populations across the reef have never been quantified.

Key n‐Gram Extractions and Analyses of Different Registers Based on Attention Network

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Key n -gram extraction can be seen as extracting n‐grams which can distinguish different registers. Keyword (as n = 1, 1‐gram is the keyword) extraction models are generally carried out from two aspects, the feature extraction and the model design.

Assessing Closed Hydroponic Subsystems for Batavia Lettuce Growth Under Different Planting Densities

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 427-438, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Hydroponic systems have the potential to be sustainable and alternative methods for food production that confer advantages of high production and better control of growth. However, only a few studies have focused on leafy vegetable growth in different subsystems and environmental variables.

Combating infections under siege: Healthcare challenges amidst the military assault in Gaza

open access: yesWorld Medical &Health Policy, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 188-213, March 2025.
Abstract The ongoing Israeli military assault on Gaza has caused a devastating collapse of healthcare infrastructure, resulting in an unprecedented surge in infectious diseases. The destruction of sanitation systems, restrictions on medical supplies, and displacement of civilians have created an environment conducive to the rapid spread of waterborne ...

Prospects for conserving freshwater fish biodiversity in the Anthropocene: A view from Southern China 人类世下淡水鱼类生物多样性保护的前景:以中国南方为视角

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 294-311, December 2024.
Freshwater biodiversity in China is threatened by multiple anthropogenic factors, and while there are some reasons to suppose it may be possible to bend the curve of biodiversity loss, the variety of threats and their likely interactions with ongoing climate change provide little basis for optimism. For example, the historic overexploitation of Yangtze

Experimentally testing animal responses to prescribed fire size and severity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Deserts are often highly biodiverse and provide important habitats for many threatened species. Fire is a dominant disturbance in deserts, and prescribed burning is increasingly being used by conservation managers and Indigenous peoples to mitigate the damaging effects of climate change, invasive plants, and land‐use change. The size, severity,

土地利用变化对产流和产沙的影响分析

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2004
LUCC(土地利用覆盖变化)对径流的影响研究主要集中在对年径流量的影响,选用基于ArcviewGIS的SWAT模型,利用情景模拟来分析土地利用变化对产流量和产沙量的影响,并重点探讨森林对产流的影响。以黄河下游支流洛河上游卢氏水文站以上流域为研究区域,选取了1992~2000年24个雨量站的雨量资料和同期的气象资料,采用土壤类型图(1∶4000000)以及设定的不同土地利用情景,作为模型的输入,进行土地利用变化的产流量和产沙量的情景模拟。模拟表明:森林的存在增加了径流量,减少了产沙量;草地也能减少产沙量 ...

径流冲刷条件下冻融坡面产沙时空分布

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2017
为确定冲刷条件下冻融坡面侵蚀产沙时空分布特征,利用稀土元素(REE)示踪技术,采用2个坡度(10°,15°),4个初始解冻深度(2,5,10,15 cm),4个流量(4.5,6.5,8.5,10.5 L/min)进行径流小区冲刷试验,分析冻融坡面侵蚀产沙时空变化规律。结果表明:相同初始解冻深度条件下土壤侵蚀产沙量随着坡度和流量的增大而增大,坡面第1坡段发生侵蚀最大,占总产沙量的68.24%,第3坡段产沙量一直趋于平稳状态;坡度相同时,侵蚀产沙量随着起始解冻深度和流量的增大而增大 ...
