How can the natural background and ecological & environment promote the green and sustainable development of Chinese tourist attractions? by Ning Yan, Jing Zhang, Bing Xia, Shihua Li, Wen Yang

“…The proportion of altitude and nature reserve area to the area under the jurisdiction, as well as the total investment in environmental pollution control, have a significant impact on eco-efficiency; The interaction between temperature, precipitation, and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and the proportion of nature reserves in the jurisdiction and the total investment in environmental pollution control, is significantly enhanced, indirectly affecting the eco-efficiency of Chinese tourist attractions. …”

Sample sizes for non-inferiority studies based on the difference between two proportions: a unified approach for difference, ratio and odds ratio models by Bruno Mario Cesana, Paolo Antonelli

“…Background: It is never easy to make sample size calculation for two-arm, non-inferiority studies with a primary proportion outcome not only because the different parameterisations involved in the difference, ratio, and odds ratio models lead to different non-inferiority margins and different sample size results, but also because of the different efficiency of the respective sample size formulae. …”

Contrasting Life-Form Influences Guam <i>Ficus</i> Foliar Nutrient Dynamics by Thomas E. Marler

“…These Guam results conformed to global trends indicating that seasonally deciduous plants are more acquisitive and exhibit greater nutrient resorption efficiency. The differences in how these two native trees influence the community food web and nutrient cycling lies mostly in the volume and synchronicity of pulsed <i>F. prolixa</i> litter inputs, and not in differences in litter quality. …”

Performance analysis of relay selection strategy with selective decode-and-forward protocol based on threshold decision by Jianwu ZHANG, Jing JIANG, Jianrong BAO, Bin JIANG

“…Cooperative transmission can effectively overcome performance degradation caused by channel fading and thus improve diversity effect.In order to improve the spectral efficiency of all-time cooperative,relay selection strategy with selective decode-and-forward protocol based on threshold decision was mainly investigated.The performance was also analysed and the approximate expression of the outage probability and the spectrum efficiency with high signal-to-noise（SNR）were derived.Simulation results show that under low-SNR and few relays circulations,the outage probability under different thresholds are very close.If the collaboration threshold increases by 0.09,the spectral efficiency improves by 0.12.Under high-SNR and many relays circulations,the spectral efficiency under different thresholds are similar.When the system outage probability is 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;,the collaboration threshold decreases by 0.9 and 1.1 dB SNR gain can be obtained.…”
