Pine wilt disease (PWD) is one of the most destructive infectious disease affecting coniferous forests. This research proposes a detection method based on deep learning combined with Balance Mixup. At the beginning, regions of interest (ROIs) on multispectral images are automatically generated...

This paper explains how and why the stock market, which is regarded as the embodiment of capitalism, has been allowed to develop and gain a prominent place among China's financial markets. That development has been consistent with the changing vested interests of the central government in its...

For most of the post-war period developing countries have been told that relying on licensing for technology transfer is likely to yield disappointing results. However, this view of licensing has come a full circle as technology services trade has boomed since the 1990s. We outline the main...

The atom refining strategy is used for the design of COP-X (X = S, N, O) as the efficient photocatalysts for CO2 conversion. Both photoelectrochemical experiments and computational explorations demonstrate that the electron delocalization and reaction barrier can be well regulated by single atom...

Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to C2 products provides a promising approach for controlling the global carbon balance and restoring renewable surplus electricity, while the low CO 2 activation property and slow OC-CO coupling rate lead to unfavorable performance on Cu-based catalysts. Here we...

Instead of focusing on the conflict of interests between North and South, the author studies the conflict of interests among southern countries and provides an alternative answer to the question: why do southern countries have little incentive to protect northern intellectual property rights?...
