The construction industry, being responsible for a large share of global carbon emissions, needs to reduce its high carbon output to meet carbon reduction goals. Artificial intelligence can provide efficient support for carbon emission calculation and prediction. Here, we review the use of artificial intelligence techniques in forecasting, management and real-time monitoring of carbon emissions, focusing on how they are applie...

In Zhejiang province, large yellow croakers are primarily cultured in net cages, facing significant challenges during the overwintering period such as susceptibility to cold and starvation stress. Notably, the observable sexual dimorphism in the large yellow croaker hints at the likelihood of gender differences in their responses to these environmental stresses. However, the potential sex-specific adaptive changes during overw...

The building sector is significantly contributing to climate change, pollution, and energy crises, thus requiring a rapid shift to more sustainable construction practices. Here, we review the emerging practices of integrating renewable energies in the construction sector, with a focus on energy types, policies, innovations, and perspectives. The energy sources include solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass fuels. Case studies in...

In this study, twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci were screened to evaluate the genetic diversity of five yellow drum (Nibea albiflora) populations in the Zhoushan Sea region of the East China Sea, including one wild population (WP), one artificially propagated population (common population, CP), and three breeding populations (parent population, F4; all-female population, AF; and neo-male population, NeoG). The results of...

Production of sterile mono-sex fish is of great significance for sustainable aquaculture as well as germ cell transplantation. In this study, we aimed to produce mono-sex triploid yellow drum, including genotypic females (XXX female) and sex-reversed phenotypic males (XXX male). Firstly, the mono-female triploids were produced through cold-shock treatment on eggs fertilized with sperm from neo-males. Then, the mono-male triplo...
