The relationship between sponge and water environment management in sponge city construction
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020 Abstract Water resources are indispensable and substitute important ecological environmental resources in the process of sustainable development of human economy and society. At present, the shortage of water resources has gradually become an important bottleneck restricting the rapid and healthy development of our society and economy ...

Review on sponge city construction for flood management
Sustainability, Agri, Food and Environmental Research-DISCONTINUED, 2023 Due to the global climate change and the rapid progress of urbanization, the frequent occurrence of flooding disasters and severe pollution seriously threaten the sustainable development of modern cities. To solve these problems, China first started the construction of the ‘Sponge City’.

A combination of transcriptional and microRNA regulation improves the stability of the relative concentrations of target genes [PDF]
, 2013 It is well known that, under suitable conditions, microRNAs are able to fine tune the relative concentration of their targets to any desired value. We show that this function is particularly effective when one of the targets is a Transcription Factor (TF)
