In order to foster a modern economic system and facilitate high-quality economic development, it is crucial to establish a conducive business environment. Undoubtedly, the evaluation of the business environment for enterprises constitutes a prominent area of research. Nevertheless, ensuring the authenticity and security of the raw data sources provided by participating enterprises poses a challenge, thereby compromising the accuracy of the evaluation. To tackle this issue, an enterprise composite blockchain construction method for business environment is proposed in this paper, which stores the raw data of enterprises by the means of hybrid on-chain and off-chain. Initially, the enhanced hash function SHA256 is introduced to encrypt the raw data of enterprises. The encrypted data is subsequently stored in an off-chain Level DB database, which is based on non-volatile memory. This approach effectively alleviates the burden on communication and storage. Secondly, a composite storage strategy on-chain is adopted: the key values from the Level DB are stored in the DAG-based Conflux public blockchain, while the enterprise state data is stored in the consortium blockchain, so as to provide trusted evidence of business environment evaluation data. Finally, it is demonstrated through a large number of experimental comparisons that the enterprise composite blockchain construction method proposed in this paper exhibits better read and write performance, lower storage efficiency and storage overhead, and outperforms both the before-improved Level DB database and existing blockchain storage models.

With the rapid development of tourism, the concentration of visitor flows poses significant challenges for public safety management, especially in low-light and highly occluded environments, where existing pedestrian detection technologies often struggle to achieve satisfactory accuracy. Although infrared images perform well under low-light conditions, they lack color and detail, making them susceptible to background noise interference, particularly in complex outdoor environments where the similarity between heat sources and pedestrian features further reduces detection accuracy. To address these issues, this paper proposes the FusionU10 model, which combines information from both infrared and visible light images.

Digital transformation (DT) has become vital for companies trying to remain competitive in the recent ever-changing technological environment. DT is the integration of digital technologies into all disciplines of business from regular activities to strategic decision making. Risk management planning requires projects to assess possible risks that may negatively or positively affect a DT project.

Understanding the distribution of breeding populations of migratory animals in the non-breeding period (migratory connectivity) is important for understanding their response to environmental change. High connectivity (low non-breeding population dispersion) may lower resilience to climate change and increase vulnerability to habitat loss within their range. Very high levels of connectivity are reportedly rare, but this conclusion may be limited by methodology.

Oxidative stress, caused by excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of various diseases. Monascin can scavenge ROS and alleviate oxidative stress but with a low fermentation rate and bioavailability. Here, we optimized the fermentation process to increase the production of monascin (508.
