China has taken a foreign direct investment-based approach toward increasing its capital and knowledge base, and developing into an innovative economy. However, little quantitative evidence exists about the factors that drive innovations of foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) there. This paper uses survey data from high-technology firms in Shanghai to discuss factors affecting their innovativen...

This study examined the source of Ca mobilized by phorbol esters and its requirement for phorbol-induced contraction of smooth muscle cells isolated from the circular and longitudinal layers of guinea pig intestine. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate caused rapid, sustained, concentration-dependent muscle contraction and increase in cystolic free [Ca]i in muscle cells from both layers. Maximal con...

Reducing land fragmentation can theoretically curb cropland abandonment, thus ensuring food security. However, few studies have quantified this relationship using large-scale survey data at the household level. This study adopts a two-way fixed-effects (TWFE) model to examine effect of on abandonment nationally representative panel from China Rural Household Panel Survey (CRHPS). The set contai...

Conclusions: It is impossible to make a diagnosis of temporal giant cell granuloma (GCG) before operation because of nonspecific clinical and imaging feature. Surgery is the first-line choice of treatment. Objective: To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of temporal GCG. Methods: Eight patients with GCG receiving treatment in the Chinese PLA General Hospital between 2001 and 2010 were recruit...

Different regions, with different contexts and values, will follow sustainability transformation pathways, giving rise to tensions opportunities as the outcomes of regional pathways interact. To navigate these changes, we need a better understanding how interact produce for people nature. Creating sustainable just future require major shift in humans live in, with, Earth system one another.1Lea...

The importance of conservation is matched by its potential to provoke contention, especially for rewilding. Treating rural peoples as biodiversity “problems” has given way viewing them “solutions,” but most needed a turn toward democracy, resolving conflicts and balancing rural-urban interests despite knowledge value disagreements. According the 2019 Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on...

Climate change and socio-economic dynamics are driving rapid agricultural expansion in boreal Arctic regions, referred to as northern frontiers, this has large potential environmental human implications. Conceptualizing frontiers resource building on lessons from the tropics could help guide research governance of these emerging landscapes. Boreal regions—the circumpolar vegetation belt high la...

Striving to feed a population set reach almost 10 billion people by 2050 in sustainable way is high on the research and policy agendas. Further intensification expansion of agricultural lands would be major concern for environment biodiversity. There is, therefore, need understand better impacts biodiversity from global food system. Since underpins functions services that are essential agricult...

Maintaining or restoring connectivity among wildlife populations is a primary strategy to overcome the negative impacts of habitat fragmentation. Yet, current planning efforts typically assess landscape resistance, ability organisms cross various biophysical elements in landscape, while overlooking ways which human behaviors influence connectivity. Here, we introduce concept “anthropogenic resi...
