High‐Speed Rail and Spatial Equity: Unpacking the Sustainability Paradox of Land Use and Fiscal Pressure in County‐Level Cities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infrastructure‐led development in rapidly urbanizing economies often generates accessibility gains that fail to translate into balanced urban outcomes, particularly when local fiscal institutions redirect those gains toward revenue‐generating land uses. Filling this gap, especially in fiscally constrained county‐level cities where land finance

Optimizing Eco‐Industrial Park Site Selection for Circular Supply Chains: A Novel Hybrid Decision‐Making Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐Industrial Parks (EIPs) are critical infrastructure for transitioning to sustainable production and consumption patterns, enabling resource efficiency through industrial symbiosis. However, the success of these circular ecosystems depends heavily on strategic location planning that balances conflicting economic, environmental, and social ...

Study on the activity of the Cuona-Woka Fault Zone, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and geological safety risks and prevention methods

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  The Plateau Railway, constructed along the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, crosses the active Cuona-Woka Fault Zone. Coseismic surface rupture caused by the active fault leads to engineering breaks, tunnel deformation,

A Technology‐First Framework for SDG Implementation in Carbon‐Based Economies: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only 17% of Sustainable Development Goal indicators are globally on track, yet the structural conditions explaining this failure remain inadequately theorised for fossil‐fuel‐dependent economies. This study develops and empirically tests a four‐layer loop framework of Technology, Well‐being, Social Equity, and Sustainability closing through ...

The influence of structural response on ballast performance on a high speed railway

, 2014
Track for modern ballasted high speed railway lines typically uses continuous welded rail with continuous ballast. Continuous ballast is often specified over features involving discontinuity of track support including structural movement or expansion ...

Efficient Harvesting of Irregular and Low‐Frequency Mechanical Energy via Hybridized Electromagnetic‐Triboelectric Systems

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics necessitates sustainable power sources to replace the limited electrochemical battery. While mechanical energy harvesting offers a promising solution, traditional harvesters face challenges of irregular and low−frequency environmental sources. This review presents the

Do Product Market Reforms Work? Assessing Regulatory Changes Impacting Competition

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We create a new dataset that characterizes studies of product market reforms implemented from 1932 to 2011. We examine the size and origins of differences in estimated impacts based on an OECD classification scheme for potentially competitive restrictions of regulation. The median impact from switching to a pro‐competitive environment is a 19%
