An extension of the Pólya-Szegö operator inequality
No full textWe extend an operator Pólya-Szegö type inequality involving the operator geometric mean to any arbitrary operator mean under some mild conditions. Utilizing the Mond-Pečarić method, we present some other related operator inequalities as well.Fil: Hoa, Dinh Trung. Duy Tan University; VietnamFil: Moslehian, Mohammad Sal.

Large-scale ecosystem carbon stocks and their driving factors across Loess Plateau
No full textAbstract The large-scale vegetation restoration project on the Loess Plateau increased the ecosystem carbon (C) stocks and affected C budget in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The specific details affecting the C stocks, their distribution, and dependence on land use and climate were never presented and generalized. We assessed the effects of climate factors and soil properties on ecosystem C stocks through field investigation across the Loess Plateau. The total C stocks in the four ecosystems: forestlands [0.36], shrublands [0.24], grasslands [1.18], and farmlands [1.05] was 2.84 Pg (1 Pg = 10 15 g), among which 30% were stored in topsoil (0–20 cm), 53% in above-ground biomass, and 17% in roots. The total ecosystem C density decreased according to the climate from the southeast (warm dry) to the northwest (cold moist) of the Loess Plateau. The ecosystem C density decreased with increasing temperature (from 5 to 15 °C), but increased with precipitation (from 200 to 700 mm). Variation partitioning analysis and structural equation models indicated that ecosystem C density was more explained by climate compared with soil properties. This supports the theory and empirical findings that large scale pattern of ecosystem C density is predominantly regulated by climate on the Loess Plateau. Our results highlight that grasslands are more predestined to store C compared with the other ecosystems, and the C stored in roots is substantial and should be considered when assessing C stocks and strongly contributes to soil organic matter formation. We suggest that investing in roots can be an effective strategy for meeting part of Loess Plateau C reduction goals to mitigate climate change, which is necessary for validating and parameterizing C models worldwide.the National Natural Sciences Foundation of China 501100001809Shanghai Jiao Tong University 50110000492
Does Fertilizer Education Program Increase the Technical Efficiency of Chemical Fertilizer Use? Evidence from Wheat Production in China
No full textFarmers in China and many other developing countries suffer from low technical efficiency of chemical fertilizer use, which leads to excessive nutrient runoff and other environmental problems. A major cause of the low efficiency is lack of science-based information and recommendations for nutrient application. In response, the Chinese government launched an ambitious nationwide program called the “Soil Testing and Fertilizer Recommendation Project” (STFRP) in 2005 to increase the efficiency of chemical fertilizer use. However, there has been no systematic evaluation of this program. Using data from a nationally representative household survey, and using wheat as an example, this paper first quantifies the technical efficiency of chemical fertilizer use (TEFU) by conducting stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), then evaluates the impact of STFRP on the TEFU using a generalized difference-in-difference approach. We found that STFRP, on average, increased TEFU in wheat production by about 4%, which was robust across various robustness checks. The lessons learned from STFRP will be valuable for China’s future outreach efforts, as well as for other countries considering similar nutrient management policies.This article is published as Wang, Pingping, Wendong Zhang, Minghao Li, and Yijun Han.

A Regularly Channeled Lamellar Membrane for Unparalleled Water and Organics Permeation
No full textLamellar membranes show exceptional molecular permeation properties of key importance for many applications. However, their design and development need the construction of regular and straight interlayer channels and the establishment of corresponding transport rate equation. The fabrication of a uniformly lamellar membrane is reported using double-layered Ti3 C2 Tx MXenes as rigid building blocks. This membrane possesses ordered and straight 2 nm channels formed via a direct self-stacking, in contrast to the conventional irregular ones from flexible sheets. Such channels permit precise molecular rejection and unparalleled molecular permeation. The permeance of water and organics by this membrane reached 2300 and 5000 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 , respectively. The molecular transfer mechanism in confined nanochannels, and the corresponding model equation are established, paving a way to nanoscale design of highly efficient channeled membranes for transport and separation applications.Jingtao Wang, Pingping Chen, Benbing Shi, Weiwei Guo, Mietek Jaroniec, Shi‐Zhang Qia
