文摘The evolution of cities into digitally managed environments requires computational systems that can operate in real time while supporting predictive and adaptive infrastructure management.Earlier approaches have often advanced one dimension—such as Internet of Things(IoT)-based data acquisition,Artificial Intelligence(AI)-driven analytics,or digital twin visualization—without fully integrating these strands into a single operational loop.As a result,many existing solutions encounter bottlenecks in responsiveness,interoperability,and scalability,while also leaving concerns about data privacy unresolved.This research introduces a hybrid AI–IoT–Digital Twin framework that combines continuous sensing,distributed intelligence,and simulation-based decision support.The design incorporates multi-source sensor data,lightweight edge inference through Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)and Long ShortTerm Memory(LSTM)models,and federated learning enhanced with secure aggregation and differential privacy to maintain confidentiality.A digital twin layer extends these capabilities by simulating city assets such as traffic flows and water networks,generating what-if scenarios,and issuing actionable control signals.Complementary modules,including model compression and synchronization protocols,are embedded to ensure reliability in bandwidth-constrained and heterogeneous urban environments.The framework is validated in two urban domains:traffic management,where it adapts signal cycles based on real-time congestion patterns,and pipeline monitoring,where it anticipates leaks through pressure and vibration data.Experimental results show a 28%reduction in response time,a 35%decrease in maintenance costs,and a marked reduction in false positives relative to conventional baselines.The architecture also demonstrates stability across 50+edge devices under federated training and resilience to uneven node participation.The proposed system provides a scalable and privacy-aware foundation for predictive urban infrastructure management.By closing the loop between sensing,learning,and control,it reduces operator dependence,enhances resource efficiency,and supports transparent governance models for emerging smart cities.

文摘Digital transformation,as a recent trend in socioeconomic development,is considered as a critical pathway for urban carbon reduction because of its potential to increase productivity and energy efficiency.However,few studies have explored the relationship between urban digitalization and carbon emissions(CE).Therefore,this study systematically analyzed the spatiotemporal distribution and interaction mechanism between digitalization and CE in the Yangtze River Delta(YRD)urban agglomerations of China during 2006-2020 based on a multidimensional indicator system,including digitalization industry level,digitalization application level,and urban green digitalization willingness.The findings revealed that both digitalization and CE in the YRD exhibit a significant and synchronously evolving“core-periphery”spatial pattern.Core cities generated substantial positive spillover effect on periphery cities through technology diffusion and policy demonstration,advancing both regional digitalization and the collaborative governance of CE.However,digitalization had dual impact on CE.On the one hand,it promoted the reduction of CE by enhancing energy efficiency,optimizing industrial structures,and promoting the application of green technologies.On the other hand,the expansion of digital infrastructure introduced a potential risk of increased energy consumption.Therefore,targeted policy recommendations are proposed to facilitate the coordination of environmental sustainability and digitalization in the YRD.This study provides empirical support and policy insights for advancing the coordinated development of regional digital transformation and green low-carbon initiatives.

文摘Digital rural governance is a micro-level governance practice within the broader framework of building a Digital China.It involves the integration of digital technology into rural governance to drive the digital transformation of rural governance.In recognition of the varied development stages of digital rural governance,the concept of“digital context”provides an analytical lens for exploring the differences in practical models of digital rural governance.By examining the contextual characteristics and differential mechanisms of digital rural governance,this paper delves into its social foundation and technological adaptation.The research finds that the context of digital rural governance primarily encompasses three dimensions:contextual foundation,contextual logic,and contextual optimization.First,the contextual foundation of digital rural governance manifests as the social basis,comprising the social structure of villages,the type of village development,and the age structure of villagers,which constitute the social stratification forms underlying digital rural governance.Second,the contextual logic of digital rural governance focuses on the adaptation of digital technology to rural governance,promoting the adaptation of digital technology to the rural governance foundation,village governance scenarios,and villagers’digital capabilities.Third,the contextual optimization of digital rural governance emphasizes integrating digital technology with both administrative and livelihood-oriented governance affairs at the village level.This approach leverages the governance value and functional potential of digital technology to streamline digital governance processes and enhance digital governance capabilities.As a developmental direction for the transformation of rural governance,digital rural governance must not only highlight the governance advantages of digital technology but also prioritize the inherent context of rural governance.It aims to enhance the effectiveness of rural governance through digital technology and advance high-quality digital village development tailored to local conditions.

文摘Background:Telehealth has emerged as a powerful tool for managing chronic diseases and mental health conditions,offering increased access to care and improved patient outcomes.However,inequities in digital connectivity and technological resources have created significant disparities in access to these potentially life-changing services,disproportionately impacting marginalized and minoritized communities across the globe.Methods:Data on 473,716 telehealth encounters occurring between January 1,2022,and June 30,2023 were retrieved from the electronic health records(EHR)system used by University Hospitals.These encounters were classified into three groups:attended,canceled,and no-show.Relative risk was calculated based on age,sex,and race,and a multivariate linear regression was performed with age,sex,and race as inputs,to determine their effect on the encounter outcome.Results:Our analysis identified significant differences in relative risk between demographic groups.Patients 20-39 years of age had a high relative risk of cancellation and no-show,and Black patients demonstrated the highest relative risk for cancellation and no-show.The regression analysis illustrated a statistically significant link between no-shows and patients with a cellular plan with no other internet subscription(p<0.001),smartphone ownership(p<0.001),and not having a computer(p<0.05).Conclusions:This study highlights the clinical repercussions of the digital divide,as patients relying on a mobile phone and data plan to attend telehealth visits were more likely to no-show.Current disparities in digital connectivity for historically marginalized populations heightens the risk of creating a digital underclass.There is evidence this study may be applicable in multiple countries across the world.Further research on the causes of the observed no-shows is necessary to ensure equitable delivery of digital healthcare services.

文摘Ultrasensitive detection of nucleic acids is of great significance for precision medicine.Digital polymerase chain reaction(dPCR)is the most sensitive method but requires sophisticated and expensive instruments and a long reaction time.Digital PCR-free technologies,which mean the digital assay not relying on thermal cycling to amplify the signal for quantitative detection of nucleic acids at the singlemolecule level,include the digital isothermal amplification techniques(d IATs)and the digital clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)technologies.They combine the advantages of d PCR and IATs,which could be fast and simple,enabling absolute quantification of nucleic acids at a single-molecule level with minimum instrument,representing the next-generation molecular diagnostic technology.Herein,we systematically summarized the strategies and applications of various dIATs,including the digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification(dLAMP),the digital recombinase polymerase amplification(dRPA),the digital rolling circle amplification(dRCA),the digital nucleic acid sequencebased amplification(d NASBA)and the digital multiple displacement amplification(d MDA),and evaluated the pros and cons of each method.The emerging digital CRISPR technologies,including the detection mechanism of CRISPR and the various strategies for signal amplification,are also introduced comprehensively in this review.The current challenges as well as the future perspectives of the digital PCR-free technology were discussed.

文摘As the most important large-scale communication infrastructure in the world today,submarine cable can profoundly reflect the global Internet communication pattern,and is of great significance for understanding the global digital divide.We used multi-scale and network analysis methods to depict the distribution pattern,network structure and spatio-temporal evolution of global submarine cables at the national and landing point scales,in order to analyze the current situation,challenges and main directions of global digital divide governance.Results show that:(1)spatial distribution of global submarine cables is unbalanced,the United States and Europe are the concentrated distribution areas of submarine cables and global information flow centers;(2)core connections of the global submarine cable network are only composed of a tiny minority of countries or regions or landing points,and have strong geographical proximity and clustered-type characteristic,noting that multitudinous landing points of developed countries are at the semi-periphery or even periphery of the network;(3)submarine cables can alleviate the global digital divide through the three paths of infrastructure universalization,digital ecosystem reconstruction and economic empowerment,and the global digital divide governance still faces the dilemma of the differences in digital strategy development and the lack of a governance system.However,due to the increasingly important position of cities in developing countries in the international communication pattern,the global digital divide problem is being alleviated.
