AI Article Synopsis
- Industrial development is fueling economic growth but also creating significant environmental issues and health risks, especially due to pollution from international trade.
- A new input-output model distinguishes between processing and normal exports to accurately assess industrial emissions associated with China's trade activities.
- The findings reveal that processing exports lessen domestic pollution through imported inputs, while normal exports increase it, with trade with the US and Japan being particularly harmful to China's environment; however, advancements in technology and changes in trade practices are helping mitigate these impacts.
Article Abstract
While promoting economic growth, industrial development is causing serious environmental problems and threatening human health. Studies on pollution transfer through international trade often over-estimate the actual embodied emissions in exports and ignore the industrial pollutants. By designing a non-competitive input-output model which differentiates between processing exports and normal exports, we calculate the embodied domestic and imported industrial emissions in China's processing and normal exports and imports. We also calculate the balance of embodied emission in trade () and the pollution terms of trade (), as well as the decomposition of scale, structural, and technical effects on embodied emission in international trade. The results demonstrate that processing exports reduce domestic pollution by importing intermediate inputs; normal exports, on the other hand, have a considerable impact on domestic pollution. Bilateral trade between China and the US has the most detrimental impact on China's local environment, followed by trade between China and Japan. China's exports to Japan are more polluting per unit than those to the US and Germany. Technological upgradations and transformation of trade structure have helped to reduce the negative environmental consequences of China-US and China-Japan bilateral trade. Investment in technology and trade policy can lead to a cleaner production ecosystem.

Background And Purpose: The main features of the dynamics of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) have been known for 50 years: 1) in the absence of glucocorticoid (G), the receptor is localized entirely in the cytoplasm; 2) upon G binding, GR is converted into a tightly bound G form and is rapidly imported into the nucleus where it can bind DNA and modulate transcription; 3) nuclear export of GR is very slow; and 4) the nuclear form of GR can recycle through an unbound form, back to the bound transcription modulating form without leaving the nucleus.
Experimental Approach: A kinetic model that captures these features is presented, a set of model parameters for dexamethasone is derived, and the clinical implication for the commonly used glucocorticoids is discussed.
Key Results: At the high concentrations normally used to describe G pharmacodynamics, the model reduces to the standard Michaelis-Menten equation with a that is a function of 4 model parameters.

Sugar transport plays a pivotal role in determining the productivity of plants and their capacity to act as carbon sinks. In the major fruit crop grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), the transporter gene Vitis vinifera Sugars Will Eventually be Exported Transporter 15 (VvSWEET15)is strongly expressed during berry ripening.

Cuticular waxes synthesised in the endoplasmic reticulum of epidermal cells must be exported to the outer surface of the epidermis to fulfil their barrier function. Beyond transmembrane trafficking mediated by ABC transporters, little is known about the movement of wax molecules. In this study, we characterise a mutant named sugar-associated vitrified 1 (sav1), which exhibits a vitrified phenotype and displays a reduced root length when cultivated on sugar-free medium.
