    As the environmental problem becomes more and more serious in the development of society, it has drawn a lot of attentions from every government. Industry prompts the development of economy at the same time produces a lot of pollutions, such as smoke pollution and waste. Evaluating the efficiency of the departments of industry benefits district government to decide which departments should be developed in priority. In this study, the new ratio model in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is proposed and applied for evaluating the industrial departments of Chongqing City of China. Moreover, some suggestions are given. 漏 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER

    ABSTRACTNeutralizing antibodies are a key component in protective humoral immunity against SARS-CoV-2. Currently, available technologies cannot track epitope-specific antibodies in global antibody repertoires. Thus, the comprehensive repertoire of spike-specific neutralizing antibodies elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection is not fully understood. We therefore combined high-throughput immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) repertoire sequencing, and structural and bioinformatics analysis to establish an antibodyomics pipeline, which enables tracking spike-specific antibody lineages that target certain neutralizing epitopes. We mapped the neutralizing epitopes on the spike and determined the epitope-preferential antibody lineages. This analysis also revealed numerous overlaps between immunodominant neutralizing antibody-binding sites and mutation hotspots on spikes as observed so far in SARS-CoV-2 variants. By clustering 2677 spike-specific antibodies with 360 million IgH sequences that we sequenced, a total of 329 shared spike-specific antibody clonotypes were identified from 33 COVID-19 convalescents and 24 SARS-CoV-2-naïve individuals. Epitope mapping showed that the shared antibody responses target not only neutralizing epitopes on RBD and NTD but also non-neutralizing epitopes on S2. The immunodominance of neutralizing antibody response is determined by the occurrence of specific precursors in human naïve B-cell repertoires. We identified that only 28 out of the 329 shared spike-specific antibody clonotypes persisted for at least 12 months. Among them, long-lived IGHV3-53 antibodies are likely to evolve cross-reactivity to Omicron variants through accumulating somatic hypermutations. Altogether, we created a comprehensive atlas of spike-targeting antibody lineages in COVID-19 convalescents and antibody precursors in human naïve B cell repertoires, providing a valuable reference for future vaccine design and evaluation
