The occurrence of 'black swan' and 'grey rhino' events is creating new risks for communities, and building resilient communities has become a global consensus. Using the Bibliometrix tool, we collected 3146 articles published from 2000 to 2022 to explore research hotspots, change trends and future directions in community resilience. The results show that community resilience study exhibited an exponential development pattern, with periods of sluggish rise (2000–2009) and rapid growth (2010–2019). From 2020 to 2022, the average annual number of articles spiked to 484 due to the outbreak of COVID‐19. Scholars from the United States, China and the United Kingdom are the main contributors in this field, but the research locations are gradually shifting from the United States to the European and Asian countries. Hot topics related to community resilience include conceptual discernment, assessment frameworks, influencing factors and enhancement strategies. In the future, more attention should be given to the localization of theories, soft power elements and special groups. We developed a community resilience cycle framework that integrates the latest conceptual statement of community resilience and the evolution of trajectories of system disturbance stages.

Target strength (TS) is an acoustic property of individual marine organisms and a critical factor in acoustic resource assessments. However, previous studies have primarily focused on measuring TS at narrowband, typical frequencies, which cannot meet the requirements of broadband acoustic technology research. Additionally, for marine fish, conducting in situ TS measurements is challenging due to environmental constraints. Rapidly freezing and preserving fish samples for transfer to the laboratory is a common method currently used. However, the impact of freezing preservation during transportation on the swimbladder morphology and TS of swimbladder-bearing fish remains unclear. This study investigated the differences in swimbladder morphology and TS of Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) before and after freezing. Then, we compared different TS measurement methods through ex situ TS measurements (45–90 kHz, 160–260 kHz) and the Kirchhoff-ray mode model (KRM) simulations (1–300 kHz) and studied the broadband scattering characteristics of Chub mackerel based on the KRM model. The results showed that the morphology of the swimbladder was reduced after freezing, with significant changes in swimbladder height and volume. However, the trends of TS were not consistent and the changes were small. The difference between the KRM model and ex situ measurements was −0.38 ± 1.84 dB, indicating good applicability of the KRM. Based on the KRM results, the TS exhibited significant directivity, with fluctuations gradually decreasing and stabilizing as frequency increased. In the broadband mode, the relationship between TS and body length (L) of Chub mackerel was TS = 20log(L) − 66.76 (30 > L/λ >10). This study could provide a reference for acoustic resource estimation and species identification of Chub mackerel in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Collichthys lucidus is an important small-scale economic fish species in the Yangtze River Estuary. To improve the accuracy of acoustic stock assessments for C. lucidus, it is necessary to accurately measure its target strength (TS). This study obtained precise morphological parameters of C. lucidus through X-ray scanning and established a Kirchhoff ray mode (KRM) model to simulate the changes in TS of the fish body and swimbladder at different acoustic frequencies and pitch angles. At the same time, the TS was measured using the tethered method to analyze and compare the broadband scattering characteristics obtained from both methods. An empirical formula of C. lucidus relating TS to body length at two conventional frequencies was established using the least squares method. The results show that the C. lucidus TS changes, with body length ranging from 10.91 to 16.61 cm, are significantly influenced by the pitch angle at 70 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies, and the fluctuation of TS for both the fish body and swimbladder increases with the rise in frequency. The broadband TS values estimated by the KRM model and measured by the tethered method fluctuate within in the ranges from −45 dB to −55 dB and −40 dB to −55 dB, respectively. The TS of C. lucidus tends to increase with the increase in swimbladder length. When the probability density function of the pitch angle is N(−5°, 15°), the b 20 measured by the KRM and the tethered method at 70 kHz are −71.94 dB and −69.21 dB, respectively, while at 200 kHz they are −72.58 dB and −70.55 dB. This study provides a scientific basis for future acoustic target discrimination and stock assessment of C. lucidus in the Yangtze River Estuary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Context: With escalating global climate change, regional flood disasters have become increasingly prevalent. Precipitation, as a primary influencing factor, has garnered significant attention. Aims: This study is based on precipitation data to investigate the spatiotemporal characteristics of precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River Basin (MLYB), trying to explore more concise methods for precipitation forecasting. Methods: Statistical methods were employed to analyse historical precipitation patterns, followed by forecasting future trends using statistical time series models. Key results: Precipitation in the MLYB exhibited a decreasing trend during 1961–2010, which shifted to an increasing trend after 2011, becoming more pronounced since 2017. Precipitation patterns in the MLYB were clearly increasing in the east and decreasing in the west, with the Taihu Basin showing the greatest rise. The ARIMA model predicted a significant increase in precipitation after 2022. Conclusions: In recent years, precipitation in the MLYB has significantly increased, especially in downstream areas. Although the ARIMA model offers an effective and reasonably simple method for short-term forecast, it struggles with complex terrain influences. Implications: These findings provide a theoretical basis for flood prevention in the MLYB, as well as a reference for precipitation prediction simulations in data-limited regions. Exploring trends in rainfall across the middle and lower Yangtze River Basin from 1961 to 2022, this study showed a shift from reduced fluctuations to increased precipitation c. 2011, becoming notably pronounced after 2017. Utilising ARIMA models and expert techniques, it forecast future trends, aiding flood management and climate adaptation strategies, with implications for advanced climate modelling and data analytics. This article belongs to the collection Ecological monitoring and assessment of freshwater ecosystems: new trends and future challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) in Northwest Pacific Ocean holds significant economic value. It is important to better manage its resources by understanding its suitable habitat distribution. This study transformed acoustic data collected from the high seas fishery survey during the summer of 2021 into acoustic index suitable for habitat modeling. By integrating satellite remote sensing data on sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity (SSS), sea surface height (SSH), and chlorophyll a mass concentration (Chl. a), this study analyzed the relationship between suitable habitat and marine environmental factors. The ranges of environmental factors corresponding to suitable habitat were analyzed. Habitat suitability index models were established using both arithmetic mean method and geometric mean method. Their performance was compared through 500 iterations of cross-validation, and the suitable habitat distribution map was developed. The results indicated that the suitable ranges for SST, SSS, SSH, and Chl. a were respectively 22.51-25.09 °C, 34.09-34.65, 0.48-1.14 m, and 0.13-0.23 mg/m³. The model developed using the arithmetic mean method performed superiorly in terms of regression slope, R² and AIC, proving more appropriate for modeling suitable habitat for Chub mackerel. Suitable habitat was primarily concentrated south of 38 N, near the Kuroshio current. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Industrial parks are important drivers of economic growth and development. In an increasingly globalized economy, inefficient park development hinders high-quality, sustainable regional and national growth. The transformation and upgrading of industrial parks requires an understanding of the influence mechanism of industrial park efficiency. This study provided a theoretical analysis of the impact of land supply and price, park type, management level, and economic location on industrial parks, and clarified the effect of these factors on industrial park efficiency. Using the case study of Jiangxi Province, a typical underdeveloped area in China, we measured the comprehensive efficiency (CE) of 36 industrial parks from 2010 to 2018 employing data envelopment analysis (DEA). Our study's findings show that the average CE of industrial parks in Jiangxi Province is low, as most of the parks are inefficient and technical efficiency is a shortcoming. The efficiency of national industrial parks (0.785) is generally higher than that of provincial industrial parks (0.516), whereas the efficiency of the high-tech development zones (0.673) is generally higher than that of the economic–technological development zones (0.603). Industrial parks in prefecture-level cities with superior economic locations are more efficient. Among the 36 industrial parks studied, 14 demonstrated inefficient use of funds, and 10 were provincial industrial parks. We found that the supply of low-priced land affects firms' investment behavior through the effect of price distortion, which leads to inefficiency. Our study's findings have implications for policy, practice, theory, and subsequent research for the improvement of industrial park efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, due to the large‐scale construction of wind power and shore power projects, the amount of submarine high‐voltage AC cables has been increasing year by year, and they often form a "common corridor" in parallel with adjacent submarine pipelines, resulting in AC interference on pipelines. A lot of research has been carried out on the AC interference law of buried pipelines onshore. However, there is a lack of discussion on the AC interference suffered by submarine pipelines from high‐voltage AC cables. How to understand the AC interference law of high‐voltage AC cables to submarine pipelines and determining the safe distance has become an urgent demand in practical production. Based on this, this paper established a calculation model for AC interference suffered by submarine pipelines from high‐voltage AC cables on through CDGES software. Through simulation calculation, the influence laws of many factors such as parallel distance between AC cables and pipelines, parallel length, cable load current, anticorrosive coating resistivity, and longitudinal pipeline resistance per unit length on AC interference parameters of pipelines were investigated. It was found that the degree of AC interference increases with the increase of the anticorrosive coating resistivity, the load current, and the longitudinal pipeline resistance per unit length, as well as the decrease of the parallel interval. However, with the increase of the parallel length, the AC interference voltage and current density of the pipeline increase firstly, then decrease, and at the end remains unchanged, and it was found that there existed the parallel length with the maximum AC interference and the saturation parallel length with unchanged AC interference. Based on the principles of electromagnetic induction and AC circuits, the main reasons for the parallel length with maximum AC interference and the saturation parallel length were analyzed in this paper. The safe distances avoiding AC corrosion under different parallel lengths and load currents were discussed, which can provide a reference for the evaluation of AC interference of submarine pipelines and the selection of submarine routing.

The dispersive, reusable catalyst and convenient separation is still a key factor for water treatment. Herein, the Fe0/Fe3O4/Fe3C@ hydrophilic carbon composite catalyst was obtained through thermal reduction, in which Fe0 is generated by in‐situ carbothermal reduction of the rationally designed gel precursor. The FTIR, SEM‐EDX and the XPS analysis revealed that the major hydrophilic functional groups and elements were well‐dispersed on the entire surface of the catalyst. Through batch control experiments, it is shown that the synthetic catalyst can significantly accelerate the catalysis of Methylene blue under the radiation of 30 W LED lamp. The Electron Spin Resonance test further confirms that catalyst could be successfully trap ⋅OH radicals. With the increase of radiation time, such energy changes affect the coupling effect of spin‐orbital motion is stronger leading to changes in the g‐anisotropy. Organic pollution can be degraded by the porous catalyst in a photo‐Fenton reaction with the degradation efficiency rate approaching nearly 100 % when the concentration of H2O2 is 7 mm. The reusability was demonstrated by five consecutive reaction cycles at continuously good performance. This work provides a highly promising and facile strategy for many wastewater treatments, especially in the field of photo‐Fenton like reaction to environmental modification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Panjia polymetallic deposit, located in the northwestern region of Zhejiang Province, is a newly discovered medium‐ to large‐sized W–Mo–Cu ore deposit belonging to the northern part of the Qinzhou Bay–Hangzhou Bay metallogenic belt. Through investigation in the field and under the microscope, the hydrothermal activity of this deposit can be divided into four stages: pre‐ore stage, silicate oxidation stage, quartz sulfide stage, and post‐ore stage. The Datongkeng pluton, outcroping in Panjia deposit, is one S‐type intrusive rock and characterised by concentrations of SiO2, K2O and Na2O ranging from 67.03 to 71.09%, 3.03 to 4.89%, and 0.24 to 3.37%, respectively. The major elements display peraluminous, high‐K, calc‐alkaline features. Their A/CNK(A/CNK = n (Al2O3)/ [n (CaO) + n (Na2O) + n(K2O)]) ratios, δEu values, and δCe values vary from 0.93 to 1.98, 0.45 to 0.91, and 0.93 to 1.07, respectively. These rocks are enriched in light rare earth elements (all record values of (La/Yb)N <10, except for one) whereas are depleted in Sr, Ba, Nb, P, Eu, and Ti. The end‐member study of the Pb and S isotopes shows that the mantle material plays an important role in the ore‐forming. Zircon U–Pb dating indicates that the second part of the multiperiod magmatism (154–150 Ma) of Datongkeng pluton is the relevant crystallisation age, and the study of metallogenic stage manifests that the molybdenite is formed at the third stage of the mineralisation sequence considered as the main period of mineralisation, subsequent to the mineralogenetic epoch of scheelite. The petrogenesis is related to the materials in the crust and a small amount of materials in the mantle. While the low degree of mantle source and the Proterozoic basement contribute to the Mo, Cu ore‐forming materials. Finally, two types of metallogenic assemblage are formed, including the W‐Mo polymetallic deposit in the Datongkeng pluton and the W‐Cu‐Pb‐Zn‐Ag polymetallic deposit in the veins in the Lantian Formation.
