The impact of government behavior under a fiscal decentralization system on the interplay between the digital economy and both the quality and efficiency of green innovation poses an intriguing question. To address this, the present study employs two-way fixed-effects models, instrumental variables, and spatial econometric techniques, using data from 30 provinces and cities in China spanning 2004 to 2019. The findings reveal that the advancement of the digital economy significantly enhances the quality and efficiency of green innovation. In the context of China's fiscal decentralization, local governments frequently employ a "race to the top" strategy, amplifying the digital economy's beneficial impact on green innovation. This effect is particularly pronounced in economically prosperous regions that prioritize environmental assessments. Additionally, the study identifies a spatial demonstration effect, indicating that fiscal decentralization bolsters the digital economy's influence in adjacent regions. Consequently, policy recommendations include deepening the digital economy, advocating for increased fiscal autonomy for local governments, refining the performance appraisal systems for local officials, and establishing a well-calibrated environmental transfer mechanism. Further, leveraging the positive spatial correlations among local governments can foster a competitive yet collaborative landscape for green innovation.

Analysing samples in their original form is increasingly crucial in analytical chemistry due to the need for efficient and sustainable practices. Analytical chemists face the dual challenge of achieving accuracy while detecting minute analyte quantities in complex matrices, often requiring sample pretreatment. This necessitates the use of advanced techniques with low detection limits, but the emphasis on sensitivity can conflict with efforts to simplify procedures and reduce solvent use.

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) is a near-infrared fluorescent dye widely used for intraoperative navigation during liver surgeries because of its non-radioactive nature, high safety, and minimal impact on liver function. However, variability in its dosage and concentration and its low imaging success rates have limited its widespread application. To address these issues, we developed a novel ICG-human serum albumin (ICG-HSA) complex to enhance fluorescence visualization during laparoscopic anatomical liver resection.

Background: Safflower thrives in dry environments but faces difficulties with flowering in wet and rainy summers. Flavonoids play a role in flower development and can potentially alleviate these challenges. Furthermore, the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) family of phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) genes play a crucial role in the photoperiodic flowering pathway.

The processing techniques of camellia oil, containing freshly squeezed (FSCO), refined (DFCO), cold-pressed (OFCO), and hot-pressed (RFCO), significantly influence flavor compounds and organoleptic properties. In this study, the preference for FSCO and RFCO was revealed by sensory evaluation due to the "fruity" and "roasted" flavors, respectively. Flavor differences among oils were accurately distinguished by the E-nose.
