文摘Against the backdrop of accelerated development of new forms of trade,the question of whether rapid expansion of cross-border e-commerce(CBEC)can help to reduce carbon emissions among Chinese enterprises is of great significance for seizing new opportunities in foreign trade,and advancing firms’green and low-carbon transformation.This study treats the creation of CBEC pilot zones as a quasi-natural experiment,employing panel data from Chinese A-share listed companies matched with city-level information from 2006 to 2021.We construct a multi-period difference-in-differences model to identify the impact of CBEC pilot zone policy on corporate carbon emissions.Our findings indicate the construction of these pilot zones significantly reduces firms’carbon emissions intensity,and the results are robust across multiple tests.We show the pilot zone initiative contributes to emission reductions by enhancing the adoption of digital infrastructure,promoting green technological innovation,and increasing environmental awareness among enterprises.Quantile regressions reveal pilot zones exert a more pronounced carbon-reduction effect on firms characterized by high carbon emissions intensity and advanced levels of digital transformation.Moreover,the policy effect is especially significant in heavily polluting industries,and regions with weaker governmental environmental regulations or lower public environmental concerns.This study makes an innovative contribution to the literature by empirically verifying the environmental governance effect of establishing CBEC pilot zones,and offers practical guidance for governments in formulating cross-border e-commerce policies and for enterprises pursuing low carbon development.

文摘Cross-border data flows not only involve cross-border trade issues,but also severely challenge personal information protection,national data security,and the jurisdiction of justice and enforcement.As the current digital trade negotiations could not accommodate these challenges,China has initiated the concept of secure cross-border data flow and has launched a dual-track multi-level regulatory system,including control system for overseas transfer of important data,system of crossborder provision of personal information,and system of cross-border data request for justice and enforcement.To explore a global regulatory framework for cross-border data flows,legitimate and controllable cross-border data flows should be promoted,supervision should be categorized based on risk concerned,and the rule of law should be coordinated at home and abroad to promote system compatibility.To this end,the key is to build a compatible regulatory framework,which includes clarifying the scope of important data to define the“Negative List”for preventing national security risks,improving the cross-border accountability for protecting personal information rights and interests to ease pre-supervision pressure,and focusing on data access rights instead of data localization for upholding the jurisdiction of justice and enforcement.

文摘Earthquakes are highly destructive spatio-temporal phenomena whose analysis is essential for disaster preparedness and risk mitigation.Modern seismological research produces vast volumes of heterogeneous data from seismic networks,satellite observations,and geospatial repositories,creating the need for scalable infrastructures capable of integrating and analyzing such data to support intelligent decision-making.Data warehousing technologies provide a robust foundation for this purpose;however,existing earthquake-oriented data warehouses remain limited,often relying on simplified schemas,domain-specific analytics,or cataloguing efforts.This paper presents the design and implementation of a spatio-temporal data warehouse for seismic activity.The framework integrates spatial and temporal dimensions in a unified schema and introduces a novel array-based approach for managing many-to-many relationships between facts and dimensions without intermediate bridge tables.A comparative evaluation against a conventional bridge-table schema demonstrates that the array-based design improves fact-centric query performance,while the bridge-table schema remains advantageous for dimension-centric queries.To reconcile these trade-offs,a hybrid schema is proposed that retains both representations,ensuring balanced efficiency across heterogeneous workloads.The proposed framework demonstrates how spatio-temporal data warehousing can address schema complexity,improve query performance,and support multidimensional visualization.In doing so,it provides a foundation for integrating seismic analysis into broader big data-driven intelligent decision systems for disaster resilience,risk mitigation,and emergency management.

文摘This work contributes to the theoretical foundation for pricing in data markets and offers practical insights for managing digital data exchanges in the era of big data.We propose a structured pricing model for data exchanges transitioning from quasi-public to marketoriented operations.To address the complex dynamics among data exchanges,suppliers,and consumers,the authors develop a threestage Stackelberg game framework.In this model,the data exchange acts as a leader setting transaction commission rates,suppliers are intermediate leaders determining unit prices,and consumers are followers making purchasing decisions.Two pricing strategies are examined:the Independent Pricing Approach(IPA)and the novel Perfectly Competitive Pricing Approach(PCPA),which accounts for competition among data providers.Using backward induction,the study derives subgame-perfect equilibria and proves the existence and uniqueness of Stackelberg equilibria under both approaches.Extensive numerical simulations are carried out in the model,demonstrating that PCPA enhances data demander utility,encourages supplier competition,increases transaction volume,and improves the overall profitability and sustainability of data exchanges.Social welfare analysis further confirms PCPA’s superiority in promoting efficient and fair data markets.

文摘Ovarian cancer(OC)is one of the leading causes of death related to gynecological cancer,with the main difficulty of its early diagnosis and a heterogeneous nature of tumor biomarkers.Machine learning(ML)has the potential to process complex datasets and support decision-making in OC diagnosis.Nevertheless,traditional ML models tend to be biased,overfitting,noisy,and less generalized.Moreover,their black-box nature reduces interpretability and limits their practical clinical applicability.In this study,we introduce an explainable ensemble learning(EL)model,TreeX-Stack,based on a stacking architecture that employs tree-based learners such as Decision Tree(DT),Random Forest(RF),Gradient Boosting(GB),and Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost)as base learners,and Logistic Regression(LR)as the meta-learner to enhance ovarian cancer(OC)diagnosis.Local Interpretable ModelAgnostic Explanations(LIME)are used to explain individual predictions,making the model outputs more clinically interpretable and applicable.The model is trained on the dataset that includes demographic information,blood test,general chemistry,and tumor markers.Extensive preprocessing includes handling missing data using iterative imputation with Bayesian Ridge and addressing multicollinearity by removing features with correlation coefficients above 0.7.Relevant features are then selected using the Boruta feature selection method.To obtain robust and unbiased performance estimates during hyperparameter tuning,nested cross-validation(CV)with grid search is employed,and all experiments are repeated five times to ensure statistical reliability.TreeX-Stack demonstrates excellent diagnostic performance,achieving an accuracy of 0.9027,a precision of 0.8673,a recall of 0.9391,and an F1-score of 0.9012.Feature-importance analyses using LIME and permutation importance highlight Human Epididymis Protein 4(HE4)as the most significant biomarker for OC.The combination of high predictive performance and interpretability makes TreeX-Stack a reliable tool for clinical decision support in OC diagnosis.

文摘Accurately assessing the relationship between tree growth and climatic factors is of great importance in dendrochronology.This study evaluated the consistency between alternative climate datasets(including station and gridded data)and actual climate data(fixed-point observations near the sampling sites),in northeastern China’s warm temperate zone and analyzed differences in their correlations with tree-ring width index.The results were:(1)Gridded temperature data,as well as precipitation and relative humidity data from the Huailai meteorological station,was more consistent with the actual climate data;in contrast,gridded soil moisture content data showed significant discrepancies.(2)Horizontal distance had a greater impact on the representativeness of actual climate conditions than vertical elevation differences.(3)Differences in consistency between alternative and actual climate data also affected their correlations with tree-ring width indices.In some growing season months,correlation coefficients,both in magnitude and sign,differed significantly from those based on actual data.The selection of different alternative climate datasets can lead to biased results in assessing forest responses to climate change,which is detrimental to the management of forest ecosystems in harsh environments.Therefore,the scientific and rational selection of alternative climate data is essential for dendroecological and climatological research.
文摘To address the severe challenges of PM_(2.5) and ozone co-control during the"14^(th) Five-Year Plan"period and to enhance the precision and intelligence level of air environment governance,it is imperative to build an efficient comprehensive management platform for regional air quality.In this paper,the specific practice in Zibo City,Shandong Province is as an example to systematically analyze the top-level design,technical implementation,and innovative application of a comprehensive management platform for regional air quality integrating"perception monitoring,data fusion,research judgment of early warnings,analysis of sources,collaborative dispatching,and evaluation assessment".Through the construction of an"sky-air-ground"integrated three-dimensional monitoring network,the platform integrates multi-source heterogeneous environmental data,and employs big data,cloud computing,artificial intelligence,CALPUFF/CMAQ,and other numerical model technologies to achieve comprehensive perception,precise prediction,intelligent source tracing,and closed-loop management of air pollution.The platform innovatively establishes a full-process closed-loop management mechanism of"data-early warning-disposition-evaluation",and achieves a fundamental transformation from passive response to active anticipation and from experience-based judgment to data driving in environmental supervision.The application results show that this platform significantly improves the scientific decision-making ability and collaborative execution efficiency of air pollution governance in Zibo City,providing a replicable and scalable comprehensive solution for similar industrial cities to achieve the continuous improvement of air quality.
