Although efficiency analysis could reflect the state and quality of tourism's economic development, no research has been conducted investigating the spatiotemporal evolution and mechanisms of county-level tourism efficiency. We quantified tourism efficiency and its decomposition in 63 counties of Zhejiang, employing the bootstrap data envelopment analysis (DEA), hot spot analysis, and quantile regression to explore the spatiotemporal evolution and influencing factors of tourism efficiency, and examine its driving and constraining mechanisms. The results uncovered obvious upward trends in the tourism efficiency of Zhejiang's counties, with the mean value increasing from 0.285 to 0.688. Compared with scale efficiency, the influence of technological efficiency on the growth of comprehensive efficiency increased remarkably. Significant differences were evident in the spatial distributions of the identified hot and cold spots of comprehensive efficiency, which were respectively distributed in northern and southern Zhejiang. The distributions of decomposition efficiency were found to be spatially dependent. The driving mechanism of tourism efficiency involve two driving influences and two constraining influences, including economy and resource driving, market and traffic driving, industry and traffic constraining, and market and industry constraining. The findings of this study contribute to understanding of tourism efficiency growth in regional destinations and provide insights for strategic policymaking in various counties of Zhejiang.

Heat waves (HW) are projected to become more frequent and intense with climate change, potentially enhancing the invasiveness of certain plant species. This study aims to compare the physiological and photosynthetic responses of the invasive and its native congener under simulated heat wave conditions (40.1 °C, derived from local historical data).

Aneurysm modeling and simulation play an important role in many specialist areas in the field of medicine such as surgical education and training, clinical diagnosis and prediction, and treatment planning. Despite the considerable effort invested in developing computational fluid dynamics so far, visual simulation of blood flow dynamics in aneurysms, especially the under-explored aspect of bifurcation aneurysms, remains a challenging issue. To alleviate the situation, this study introduces a novel Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)-based method to model and visually simulate blood flow, bifurcation progression, and fluid-structure interaction.

We have developed a novel S-scheme mechanism to expand the photoresponse range of BiSiO. This study reports the successful creation of a CN/BS heterojunction photocatalyst, which is composed of g-CN and BiSiO. The synthesis was achieved through a simple two-step procedure, involving hydrothermal treatment and subsequent calcination.

This study evaluates the efficiency of public hospitals in Greece during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Faced with unprecedented pressure from increased demand for medical services, these hospitals had to adapt quickly while playing a crucial role in supporting local economies, similar to the effect of tourism on rural economies. This study reveals that, despite average efficiency scores of 83% for result-oriented models (BCC) and 65% for constant return models (CCR), inefficiencies of scale emerged under the pressures of the pandemic.

Ecological footprint (EF) is a useful tool for benchmarking environmental performance and monitoring progress toward a sustainable future. The influence of economic, developmental, and governance factors on EF poses a significant threat to ecological balance. However, existing studies have largely overlooked the interactive relationships among these factors and their impacts on the EF across different regions.
