In urban environments, the highly complex communication environment often leads to blockages in link between ground users (GUs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), resulting poor quality. Although traditional reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can improve wireless channel quality, they only provide reflection services have limited coverage. For this reason, we study a novel simultaneously transmitting reflecting surface (STAR–RIS)–assisted UAV–mobile edge computing (UAV–MEC)...

Energy transition is an important way to control air pollution, but it may conflict with the economic goal of alleviating regional inequality due its inherently different cost burdens. As one effective measures energy transition, this paper takes small coal-fired boiler (SCB) upgrading as example explore mismatch between costs and health benefits. Here, we construct a boiler-level inventory SCB upgrades for North China Plain (NCP) during 2013–2017 propose integrated modeling framework...

We present an empirical study to systemically estimate flooding impacts, linking across scales from individual firms through the macro levels in China. To this end, we combine a detailed firm-level econometric analysis of 399,356 with macroeconomic input-output model flood impacts on China’s manufacturing sector over period 2003–2010. find that large events average reduce firm outputs (measured by labor productivity) about 28.3% per year. Using analysis, potential impact be 12.3% annual loss...

BackgroundMetropolitan areas have complex trade linkages internally and externally. This complexity stimulates the unequal spatial transfer of environmental health consequences, economy, employment embodied in internal or with outside regions, resulting exchange. Existing research has rarely discussed this issue at a refined scale, hindering targeted inequity alleviation policies.MethodsWe conducted mixed-methods study, focusing on most polluted metropolitan area world, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei...

Abstract Situated at the intersection between environmental entrepreneurship and urban sustainability, our paper seeks to investigate links city-level green venture ecosystems ability of centres reduce air pollution. Using a large dataset 12,834 from around world their associated yearly average particulate matter (PM2.5), we show that an increase in cumulative number start-ups drives lowering PM2.5 levels. Looking closely subsectors drive results, observe which hosted increased numbers...

Abstract North China faces severe groundwater overdraft because of unsustainable use. However, consumers local have rarely been precisely delineated. As such, identifying external groundwater‐intensive products may promote targeted policies from the consumption side, especially for most water‐scarce Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei (BTH) metropolitan area, which has important links to food security and across China. In this study, we revealed prefecture city‐level virtual flows in BTH region for, our...

Since the late 1990s, Yangtze River Delta (YRD) has experienced profound growth in economic scales and urban size. However, it is still unclear how much energy consumed from both fossil fuel electricity usage for transportation sectors (TCO2). We take 10 sampled cities YRD as examples examine their city-level sustainable levels 1990 to 2018. Then, we observed that SHSN (Shanghai, Suzhou, Nanjing) are leading positions, followed by WCN (Wuxi, Changzhou, Ningbo) NXH (Nantong, Xuzhou, Hefei)....

Analysis of vulnerability to climate-related hazards, such as flooding, typically starts with the distribution people and economic assets in flood-prone locations. However, this approach provides limited information about severity disruption that may be caused extreme disastrous events, it does not fully account for social dependence on vulnerable assets. Infrastructure are particularly significant regard because very high these systems, which can extend far outside hazard zone. In paper, we...

CO 2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles are an important source of greenhouse gases in the transportation sector. However, there is a lack in-depth research on characteristics CO2 emission factors multiple types vehicles. The paper conducts study carbon dioxide multi-type vehicles, with focus tractors, trucks, and dump trucks. A method based C-WTVC for VSP-Bin interval division proposed to establish unified bin calculate different indicates that tractors mainly distributed suburb highway...
