Structural safety assessment procedure of plastic single-span greenhouses considering semi-rigid clamp joints by Byung-Hun Seo, Sangik Lee, Do-Kyung Kim, Jong-Hyuk Lee, Dong-Su Kim, Dong-Woo Kim, Yerim Jo, Won Choi

“…The nonlinear finite element method (FEM) results identified side rafter pipes as the most vulnerable members due to excessive stress redistributed from semi-rigid joints, while the columns were found to contribute minimally to structural performance. FS values were consistently lower under snow loads than wind loads, with nonlinear FEM showing an average FS reduction of 7.8 % and 4.7 % compared to linear FEM, respectively. …”

The influence of digital village construction on agricultural green development-based on the mediate role of industrial structure upgrading by Zhaoguang Li, Kai Hu, Qinying Shi

“…The role and mechanism of China's digital rural construction in promoting the green development of the whole process of agricultural production needs further analysis.MethodsBased on the panel data of prefecture-level cities in Henan Province from 2013 to 2022, we used the entropy topsis model, the fixed effect model, the Tobit regression model, the intermediate effect model, and the threshold effect model, aiming to explore the effects of digital village construction on agricultural green development and their regional differences, impacts paths and non-linear effects.ResultsThe study found the following: (1) The level of agricultural green development and the digital village construction have increased in Henan province, with the latter exhibiting a spatial clustering phenomena. (2) Digital village construction has a significant positive effect on green agricultural development, but this effect does not exist in mountainous areas. (3) The digital village construction can impact green agricultural development through the updating of agricultural structures. (4) The positive influence of digital village construction on green agricultural development is non-linear, with a single-threshold and increasing marginal effects.DiscussionThese findings provide references for other countries to use digital elements to promote green and sustainable development of agriculture. …”
