Abstract This paper seeks to contribute the existing business strategy and environment literature by examining effect of governance structures on environmental performance within a unique context improving governance, policies, regulations, management. Specifically, we investigate extent which corporate board gender diversity, including proportion, age, level education female directors, affects Chinese publicly listed corporations. Using one largest data sets date, consisting sample 383...

This paper provides a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) of existing international accounting and finance research on the structure, characteristics, diversity corporate boards (SCDBs), as well their effects corresponding outcomes. Emphasis is particularly placed synthesising expanding current knowledge from both theoretical (i.e., economic governance, regulatory, resource-oriented, psychological/sociological) empirical multi-level antecedents SCDBs various themes SCDB-related...

The rapid expansion of large-scale aquaculture has created a demand for more efficient and sustainable farming systems. Among these, land-based circular tank is emerging as key solution due to its high efficiency, scalability, effective waste management capabilities. Optimizing the hydrodynamic characteristics these tanks crucial improving water quality ensuring health cultured fish. This study investigates large tanks, focusing on effects pusher configurations presence fish flow dynamics...

Microcystis aeruginosa is the most common species responsible for toxic cyanobacterial blooms and considered a significant contributor to production of cyanotoxins, particularly potent liver toxins called microcystins. Numerous studies investigating spp. have revealed their deleterious effects in freshwater environments. However, available knowledge regarding global phosphoproteomics M. regulatory roles toxin generation limited. In this study, we conducted comparative phosphoproteomic...

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) is the largest water transfer project in world, and its purpose to relax constraints a region facing severe scarcity. Bacterial communities from these reservoirs are important human health, analyzing their diversity structure crucial safety. Here, we investigated dynamics of bacterial relationship with environmental parameters terminal reservoir (Miyun Reservoir) Middle Route SNWDP by high-throughput sequencing technology. Our results showed...

Abstract Background Grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ) is one of the most widely cultivated fishes in China. High stocking density can reportedly affect fish growth and immunity. Herein we performed PacBio long-read single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing Illumina RNA to evaluate effects high on grass transcriptome. Results SMRT led identification 33,773 genes (14,946 known 18,827 new genes). From structure analysis, 8,009 were detected with alternative splicing events, 10,219 showed...

Abstract This study examines the impact of online feedback on extent alternative startups' fundraising success or failure through reward‐based crowdfunding platforms. By drawing regulatory focus theory, we theorize that relating to products services is crucial in determining entrepreneurial projects. While employing a unique dataset 620 projects from renowned Chinese platform “Demohour” (a major pioneer platform), findings show significant effect campaigns. Our findings, which are robust...

Abstract Biofilter is the core unit of recirculating aquaculture system(RAS), which mainly to achieve in situ purification and restoration water pollutants by enriching microorganisms on biofilters form biofilms. To explore changes metabolic characteristics microbial communities process biofilm formation RAS under low-temperature environment, 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was applied analyze differences composition structural initiation group (I) group(B), PICRUSt functional gene...

Background: Despite much evidence showing the effectiveness of structured self-management education for diabetes, poor glycemic control remains a challenge among empty nest older adults. Objective: We explored effect health intervention based on PRECEDE-PROCEED model adults with type 2 diabetes in Lanzhou, China. Methods: conducted 2-armed, randomized controlled trial using multistage sampling method. A total 100 patients were randomly assigned to receive either community nurse–led or...

In this paper, a simple solution route was developed for the controllable synthesis of coordination polymer Mn2Mo(CN)8·xH2O micro/nano-crystals with unique and multiform morphologies. The syntheses involve precipitation Mn2+ Mo(CN)84− in aqueous polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as capping agent. By simply tuning experimental parameters such reaction temperature, concentration raw materials, feed ratio to PVP, anions used, various interesting morphologies including square plate-like, rice-like,...

This paper represents to propose an effective extraction procedure for traditional toxin determination techniques in urban lake.Efficiency of each solvent as well other key parameters affecting efficiency including ultrasonication time and pH were evaluated optimized.The present study results indicated that 40% acidified methanol (pH~3) with sonication 15~20minhas been shown be a rapid efficient method the routine analysis wide range microcystins water samples.Our also suggested analytical...

In this paper, a recirculating aquaculture purification system (RAPS) was designed to solve the problems of pollution and shortage freshwater resource according characteristic northern ponds China. The were arranged in series composed high density culture pond, deposit floating submerged plant ecological bed pond biofilm filtrate pond. At fish 20~30kg/m3 water quality parameters monitored seasonally. results indicated that removal rate total nitrogen, phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen nitrite...

Abstract By using a simple solution chemistry approach with polyvinyprrolidone (PVP) as capping agent, Mn 2 W(CN) 8 · x H O microcrystals unique morphologies including rice‐like, rod, octahedron, square platelet, and hollow‐core platelet have been successfully synthesized. The influence of experimental parameters such reaction temperature, feed ratio 2+ to PVP, time, reactant concentration on the morphology size were systematically investigated. temperature proved be key factor for...

The South-to-North water diversion impacts on microbial community niche were investigated in the receiving area.
