Summary: In the context of economic transformation and ecological civilization construction, breaking financing constraints and carrying out green technology innovation has become an urgent task for enterprises to achieve green and sustainable development in China. This paper constructs an evolutionary game model between upstream and downstream enterprises to explore the interaction between credit sales and green technology innovation. The study finds that a virtuous circle mode of financing-income generation-benefit sharing can be achieved through the internal circulation of the supply chain, and factors such as profit distribution and supervision cost play a significant role in this process.

Summary: This paper conceptualizes the linkages between different categories of GSCM practices and business innovation, and verifies the hypotheses through a survey of Brazilian firms. The results show that the internal heterogeneity of GSCM practices has an impact on innovation. It is also suggested that interaction and mutual influence with external actors during the implementation of GSCM practices are crucial for achieving innovation. The practical contribution of this study is to prioritize certain types of GSCM practices to improve innovative processes and enhance organizational performance.

Summary: This study examines the impacts of cross-licensing in a supply chain and finds that the supplier tends to adopt cross-licensing after manufacturers' investments are sunk. Additionally, cross-licensing may increase innovation, the superior manufacturer's profit, and social welfare under certain conditions. For policy makers, encouraging cross-licensing with low effectiveness level when the superior manufacturer's innovation cost is either low or high may enhance societal welfare.

Summary: With the rapid development of the digital economy, promoting green innovation through digitalization has become crucial for manufacturing enterprises to enhance their core competitiveness. However, previous studies have primarily focused on enterprise green technology innovation rather than green innovation, and empirical tests mainly used regional-level data instead of enterprise-level data. This paper empirically investigates the impact and mechanism of digitalization on green innovation in Chinese manufacturing enterprises from 2013-2019. The findings indicate that digitalization significantly promotes the level of green innovation in manufacturing enterprises and exerts a greater influence on labor-intensive industries and manufacturing enterprises in central China compared to capital- or technology-intensive industries and enterprises in eastern China. Additionally, digitalization can influence green innovation in manufacturing enterprises through three intermediary channels: promoting enterprise value chain upgrading, empowering industrial structure optimization, and enhancing technological innovation.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.
