Summary: This paper investigates the allocation of carbon emission quotas for 18 railway bureaus in China, proposing a model based on equity and efficiency principles. Through econometric and scenario analysis, the study predicts carbon emissions from 2021 to 2030 and suggests using a combination of principles to promote railway industry development. The results indicate regional disparities in carbon emission quotas, with implications for emission reduction coordination and market construction in the railway transport sector.

Summary: This paper proposes an optimization allocation plan for China's coal production capacity using the zero-sum gain data envelopment analysis (ZSG-DEA) model, providing a theoretical basis for ensuring energy security. The optimal plan adjusts production capacity, increasing coal output, income, and profit for provincial mines while reducing wages.

Summary: In order to balance China's socio-economic development and emission reduction goals, a fair and effective provincial carbon emission allowance (CEA) allocation is necessary. This study designed a dynamic multi-criteria CEA allocation model based on four criteria and evaluated the efficiency and fairness of the CEA scheme through various methods. The national overall CEA is expected to peak during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, with different regions facing varying levels of emission reduction pressure.

Summary: Under the premise of establishing the total emissions of PM in air pollution, allocating PM emission rights in various provinces of China is found to be an effective way to govern haze. A DEA model that considers efficiency and equity objectives is constructed to evaluate performance and propose allocation steps. The results show that using the DEA model for allocation leads to lower cost, less fluctuation in distribution, and higher national performance. The study also indicates a fairer distribution of PM emission rights among provinces.

Summary: This paper aims to fill the gap in existing research on the internal causes of inter-regional differences in carbon emission efficiency. By accurately measuring China's dynamic carbon emission efficiency of industrial energy, the study found that the efficiency is increasing and overall energy efficiency is at a high level. Long-term gaps are mainly attributed to regional differences and transvariation intensity. The study also highlights the importance of efficiency change and technological change in improving carbon emission efficiency.

Summary: To achieve national emission reduction, carbon peak and carbon neutralization goals, provinces in China are facing limited and strict carbon emission space. Allocating these limited carbon emission spaces is not only crucial for achieving emission reduction targets, but also for the development of the social economy. This study selects various indicators, including population size, GDP value, historical cumulative carbon emissions, and carbon emission efficiency, to allocate carbon quotas in each province based on the simulated carbon-neutral path. The results show that well-developed and populous provinces have an advantage in distribution, while underdeveloped regions and high emission provinces have lower carbon quotas.

Summary: Subnational climate actors will have an increasingly important role in global climate actions. However, there is a trade-off between equity and efficiency when distributing nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to subnational actions. In this study, a two-staged carbon quota allocation method is proposed, considering both equity and efficiency principles. Using China as a case study, the allocation method significantly improves provincial carbon emission efficiency without compromising equity. The approach shows promising application potential in breaking down NDCs into subnational shares.

Summary: This study applies an improved dynamic undesirable zero-sum-gains slacks-based-measure model to evaluate the CO2 emission reduction scenarios and energy allocation in different provinces of China. It also calculates the optimal allocation values of carbon emission allowances for each province in 2030. The findings show that China's allocation efficiency values for energy consumption exhibited mixed trends during 2015-2019, and most input-output term efficiency values had room for improvement. After four adjustment iterations, the modeled China achieved optimal carbon emission efficiency. The research results can help regulators establish fairer and more effective policy solutions to promote regional synergistic emission reduction and achieve the national goal of peak total carbon emissions.

Summary: Previous research indicates that technological disparities have increased in Chinese provinces over time, reducing the overall contribution of technological progress in addressing environmental issues. The main factors contributing to technology inequality are cross-group inequality and within-group efficiency Gini coefficient, explaining the growing disparities across Chinese regions.

Summary: This study investigated the load transfer mechanism of Geogrid-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankments subjected to cyclic loading and unloading. The results showed that cyclic loading increased settlement and decreased load-carrying efficiency of the piles, while unloading caused partial rebound in settlement and load-carrying efficiency. Parametric studies also revealed that the rebound phenomenon was most apparent with variations in vehicle wheel load and h/s ratio.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the tensile membrane effect in a geogrid reinforced piled embankment under dynamic loading. The results show that the maximum sag of the geogrid is at the center of two adjacent piles, with tensile force localized at the corners of the pile caps. Under dynamic loading, an increase in sag and strain of the geogrid is mainly due to the degradation of soil arching effect. The tensile force in the geogrid increases with embankment height, pile spacing, and geogrid stiffness, but decreases with friction angle of the embankment fill.

Summary: Soft tissue myoepitheliomas (STM) are benign neoplasms that usually occur in the subcutaneous and deep soft tissues. In this case report, a rare intravascular location of STM in the right index finger was observed. The novel IRF2BP2::CDX2 fusion was identified and confirmed. The overall features were considered diagnostic of STM, with no evidence of tumor elsewhere.

Summary: This paper aims to investigate the displacement of adjacent tunnels caused by excavation by using finite element models. The results show that the displacement of the tunnel mainly occurs during excavation and pouring of floor slabs, and becomes stable after the construction of inclined steel struts. Factors such as excavation width, depth, distance between excavation and tunnel, and distance between tunnel centerline and excavation significantly affect the displacement of the adjacent tunnel. The maximum vertical displacement ranges from 2.0 mm to 12.6 mm, and the maximum lateral displacement ranges from 2.6 mm to 19.2 mm. A simplified analytical method is proposed and validated by three field cases for rapid prediction of maximum vertical displacement of existing adjacent tunnels caused by excavation.
