Female corporate leadership has drawn increasing attention from academia and practitioners. We contribute to the literature by examining impact of CEO succession with gender change—i.e., a male succeeded female or vice versa. propose that due differences in executive positions, change may amplify disruption process thus adversely affect post-succession firm performance increase likelihood successor early departure. Using data 3,320 successions companies listed China's Shanghai Shenzhen Stock...

Recent developments in technologies such as MEC and AI contribute significantly accelerating the deployment of VCPS. Techniques dynamic content caching, efficient resource allocation, data sharing play a crucial role enhancing service quality user driving experience. Meanwhile, leakage VCPS can lead to physical consequences endangering passenger safety privacy, causing severe property loss for providers. The increasing volume data, network topology, availability limited resources make an...

The communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonizing the roots Bothriochloa pertusa, Cajanus cajan and Heteropogon contortus in a fallow land (FL) an undisturbed (UL) were characterized. large subunit rDNA genes AMF from amplified cloned. A total 2353 clones screened by restriction fragment length polymorphism, 428 subsequently sequenced. 393 sequences, which grouped into 100 operational taxonomic units, obtained. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that sequences belonged to Glomus,...

We present electronically controlled field emission characteristics of arrays individually ballasted carbon nanotubes synthesized by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on silicon-on-insulator substrates. By adjusting the source-drain potential we have demonstrated ability to controllable limit current density more than 1 order magnitude. Dynamic control over both turn-on electric and enhancement factor been noted. A hot electron model is presented. The are populated with electrons due...

Abstract We investigated the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization and spore density in cropped land, fallow an undisturbed savanna ecosystem under hot arid climatic conditions a valley of southwest China. Plants surveyed three land‐use types showed heavy colonization, indicating high dependency plants this environment. One‐way analysis variance (ANOVA) that different AM structures varied greatly among plant species both within between types. The were higher than or land. No significant...

Guided by post-structural perspectives of identities as processes becoming and transculturation transnationalism, this study explores how multilingual students in a Mandarin–English bilingual programme form their sense dynamic process. Multiple forms data are collected, including observations, interviews documents. The findings indicate that mobile, namely, they move across linguistic, cultural ethnic spaces interaction. In addition, challenge the dominant discourse any fixed hyphenated...

Abstract In the field of tourism development, decision‐makers are often confronted with multiple goals regarding economy, environment and society. Taking Tibet (China) as a case study, current paper proposes an innovative methodology for quantifying trade‐off between various development goals, drawing on Delphi method goal programing. Our results indicate that Tibet's sustainable mainly consist 10 subgoals depend nine decision‐making variables. Depending whether greatest priority is given to...

Abstract In the post‐reform era, China achieved poverty reduction that was unprecedented in human history This accompanied by fast growth and worsening income distribution. The present paper examines poverty–growth–inequality triangle by: (i) providing growth, inequality profiles at national provincial levels; (ii) uncovering contributions of changes to reduction; and, finally, (iii) drawing lessons for other developing countries. Based on World Bank's definition line, has already eliminated...

A novel image recognition method based on fluorescence staining was proposed for the batch analysis of microplastics (MPs), and impact MPs soil physicochemical properties analyzed evaluated.

This essay critically examines Building for Oil, a comprehensive study of the Daqing Oil Field and its role in evolution China’s socialist state. It acknowledges narrative’s intricate exploration Daqing’s early-stage industrialization, highlighting unique approach to urbanization worker-peasant village formation, symbolic significance reflecting Communist ideals Mao Zedong’s revolutionary ethos. However, this also identifies critical gaps book’s narrative, notably absence pronounced...

Sustainable development is a shared responsibility. Accelerating sustainability of water–energy–people nexus and building common awareness issues pertaining to sustainable are essential for any sort success in this direction. Hydropower has been useful energy development, yet highly controversial. This paper reviews the overall situation hydropower China’s reforms policies, accompanied with case study Lancang River by HydroLancang, aiming illustrate two opposite sides development—economy...

Four peptide amphiphiles (PA1-4) with different degrees of polymerization (DP = 40, 15, 10, and 6) were synthesized by Fuchs-Farthing ring-opening followed post-polymerization modification, as fully characterized 1H NMR, FT-IR, gel permeation chromatography, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. It was found that PAs could self-assemble to form regular spherical micelles in low-concentration (about 1 mg/mL) aqueous solution, which had contents secondary structures mainly adopted random coil...

The future of human civilisation is dependent upon linking the prosperity people and planet. This paper provides a balanced survey relevant studies on social-ecological systems (SES) integration, organised in analytical structure institutionalised governance process enduring cooperation shared common resources environment. It takes critical look at emerging SES literature complexity uncertainty that attempts to capture dynamics change over time across scale. final section looks into some...

Groundwater is critical to human survival, however, it has constantly been overexploited around the world. Despite hydrological causes and effects of global climate change, groundwater governance an essential role play in causing or preventing such overexploitation. This paper presented a case Lijiang, renowned for its natural beauty exotic cultures, located northwest Yunnan, China. Since being designated as UNESCO World Heritage site 1990s, Lijiang experienced dramatic tourism development,...
