Regional differences and distributional dynamic evolution of science and technology innovation driven green development efficiency in Chinese agriculture by Lingling Wang, Min Li, Panpan Zhang

“…There is a clear trend of multi-polarization in the kernel density curve, influenced by spatial agglomeration effects and green infrastructure investments; the spatial Markov transformation highlights path dependence and neighborhood effects, emphasizing the role of cross-regional technology diffusion. The integrated approach validates consistency with empirical realities and provides targeted insights for optimizing synergies between ASTI and agriculture, bridging regional gaps, and promoting a spatially coordinated green transition.…”

Seepage Migration Process of Soluble Contaminants in Porous Medium considering Adsorption History by Wenya Cai, Guoqiang Zhang, Pengyuan Zhang, Siyang Zhang, Weixi Li, Zeyang Meng, Shunli You

“…In the case of horizontal seepage water, a pollution point source tends to migrate along the direction of water flow and has less ability to diffuse in the vertical direction. Compared with the adsorption history model, the linear model has a stronger blocking ability for pollutant migration, and the longer the time, the greater the gap between the two models. …”

Numerical simulation of snow deposition around structural snow fences by K. Yu. Litvintsev, A. A. Gavrilov, A. A. Dekterev, Yu. N. Zaharinsky, A. A. Minakov, S. A. Filimonov, K. A. Finnikov

“…Analysis of the calculation results shows that the width of the plates, as well as their spatial orientation, have insignificant effect on the snow-holding capacity of fences. The size of the gaps between the rails and the height of the lower gap exerts the greatest influence on the distribution of the intensity of snow deposition, both on the leeward and windward sides of the fence. …”
