Summary: China has a complete industrial system that leads to massive natural resource consumption. This study analyzes the utilization of natural resources in China from 2002 to 2017, finding that the additional consumption of natural resources for treating environmental pollutants is almost as significant as the consumption of natural resources itself. The majority of natural resources come from intermediate inputs. Factors such as economic scale, labor efficiency, and fixed asset investment intensity positively affect resource consumption, while factors such as final use level, fixed asset investment efficiency, and natural resource intensity negatively affect resource consumption.

Summary: A novel dual-band microwave sensor is proposed for noninvasive detection of glucose concentration. The sensor utilizes an open-loop resonator coupled with modified split-ring resonators (SRRs) for dual-band operation. The embedded resonator structure enables miniaturization of the overall size. Experimental results demonstrate high sensitivity of the sensor to glucose concentration.

Summary: This paper investigates the decoupling between economic growth and energy consumption in various sectors of the Chinese economy from 1995 to 2015. It found that China experienced weak decoupling followed by strong decoupling in its sectors, with changes mainly occurring due to financial crises, international trade growth, and less energy consumption. The production effect was identified as a positive driving factor for decoupling, while the energy intensity effect played a negative role.

Summary: This paper presents the experimental characterization of the viscoelastic properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) samples through creep experiments. The results show that the temperature dependency of creep parameters is well described in Arrhenius plots. Two prototype material responses were observed in terms of water content and accurately modeled using fractional-type models. The Scott Blair element seems to be more appropriate for describing the quasi-instantaneous rearrangement of polymer network chains, while the Lomnitz element is associated with the secondary viscoelastic mechanism of hydrogen bond breakage and rearrangement at higher temperatures and/or higher water contents.

Summary: Tourism is a significant contributor to anthropogenic climate change, but there is limited information on its total greenhouse gas emissions, particularly at the sub-national level. This study estimates the carbon footprint of inbound and domestic tourism in Wales using an environmentally extended input-output approach. The results show that in 2019, tourism accounted for around 3.4 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions, representing 8.7% of the region's total emissions. Comparison with 2007 estimates suggests a modest reduction in emissions, but data issues limit comparability. The slow progress in decarbonization, coupled with an increase in intercontinental visits, indicates that the tourism industry in Wales has yet to undergo a climate-responsible transformation.

Summary: This paper examines the influence of Demand-pull (DP) and Technology-push (TP) on growth, innovation, and factor bias of technological change. By studying a two-layer network of input-output (market) and patent citation (innovation) links among 307 6-digit US manufacturing industries from 1977 to 2012, two types of DP and TP are distinguished. The results support the existence of between-and within-layer TP, with innovation spillovers from upstream industries driving market growth and innovation. DP is not supported, but a factor bias favoring labor is observed, while TP leads to an increase in non-production work. The findings are most significant after the 2000s and shed light on the drivers of recent technological change and its factor bias.

Summary: This paper presents a general equilibrium sectoral model to analyze the short-term impact of different emission taxes schemes in production networks, specifically focusing on two types of energy sectors. The model uses input-output matrix to calibrate to the Spanish economy at the industry level and considers the actual cost of emissions associated with energy use in each industry. The study finds that an increase in emission allowances price leads to a cumulative decline in Spanish GDP after three years, with varying effects on different industries depending on their exposure to the ETS and network ETS exposure.

Summary: This paper investigates the possibility of countries reorienting their production capacity to become more environmentally friendly and inclusive. Using a standard Input-Output modeling framework and data from 141 countries and regions, the authors construct a new global dataset on employment, value-added, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and air pollution. The findings suggest that while traditional sectors in agriculture and industry have large employment multipliers, they also generate higher emissions. However, there is heterogeneity in outcomes, with other sectors having high employment multipliers and low emissions, including sectors that are more conducive to female employment. Furthermore, the study highlights the correlation between industries generating GHG emissions and those generating air pollution, suggesting potential for policies that provide both climate benefits and immediate health improvements.

Summary: The study analyzed the regional and sectoral structure of the Chinese economy using province-sector multi-regional input-output tables from 2007 and 2012. The results showed that inter-province activities increased with the rapid growth of the national economy, but not as fast as intra-province economic activities. Regional community structures were deeply associated with geographical factors, with high community heterogeneity across regions and an increase in regional fragmentation during the study period.

Summary: In our study of how circadian clocks integrate multiple signals, we found that there are diverse and complex modes of integration. The responses are often non-linear and cannot be predicted from the individual signal response. We also observed that some signals have dominance in resetting the clock phase and that the clock is sensitive to relative levels of the signal. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the functioning and resetting mechanisms of circadian clocks.

Summary: Hormones in humans exhibit seasonal patterns, with peak levels in winter-spring and a delay in pituitary hormones peaking in summer. The delays and amplitudes are explained by a proposed mechanism for the circannual clock, indicating coordinated seasonal set-points in growth, stress, metabolism, and reproduction axes.

Summary: Treating thyroid disorders involves a delay in which it takes several weeks for TSH concentration to normalize after thyroid hormones return to normal. A feedback mechanism involving peripheral thyroid hormones and TSH controls the growth of the thyroid and pituitary glands, leading to this delay.

Summary: Genetically identical cells in the same stressful condition die at different times. The origin of this stochasticity is unclear; it may arise from different initial conditions that affect the time of demise, or from a stochastic damage accumulation mechanism that erases the initial conditions and instead amplifies noise to generate different lifespans. To understand why genetically identical cells die at different times, the authors measured damage dynamics in individual cells. They report lifespan variation comes not from initial conditions but from stochastic accumulation of damage that saturates repair systems.
