Ground state degeneracy of the Ising cage-net model

The Ising cage-net model, first proposed in Phys. Rev. X 9, 021010 (2019), is a representative type I fracton model with nontrivial non-abelian features. In this paper, we calculate the ground state degeneracy of this model and find that, even though it follows a similar coupled layer structure as the X-cube model, the Ising cage-net model cannot be "foliated" in the same sense as X-cube as defined in Phys. Rev. X 8, 031051 (2018). A more generalized notion of "foliation'' is hence needed to understand the renormalization group transformation of the Ising cage-net model. The calculation is done using an operator algebra approach that we develop in this paper, and we demonstrate its validity through a series of examples

Spatiotemporal Evolution and Influencing Factors of Ecological Civilization Construction in China

The construction of an ecological civilization is a strategic idea proposed based on the conditions of different countries and the laws governing social development. It is a new way to promote harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Therefore, exploring the evolution characteristics and influence of ecological civilization in China is helpful for the country’s future development. This study uses the pentagon model, panel threshold regression model, and spatial analysis tool to explore the law of space-time differentiation and analyze regional coordination and ecological civilization construction in 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in China from 2000 to 2018. During the study period, the construction of ecological civilization in China generally fluctuated; the spatial differentiation pattern of the eastern region was more developed than that of the central region, which was more developed than that of the western region. The regional coordination degree decreased in the order of east >central >northeast >west, and the degree of coordination in provinces and cities gradually shifted and finally accumulated to be reflected in the economy and environment in 2018. The most important factor affecting the development of ecological civilization was determined to be scientific research, followed by air quality and government information disclosure

Table1_Association between CILP and IL-1α polymorphisms and phenotype-dependent intervertebral disc degeneration susceptibility: A meta-analysis.DOCX

Background: The relationship between CILP (1184T>C) and IL-1α(+889C/T) polymorphisms and intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) have been explored in several studies but the results were conflicting. The aim of the study was to evaluate and synthesize the currently available data on the association between CILP (1184T>C) and IL-1α(+889C/T) polymorphisms and susceptibility of phenotype-dependent radiologic IDD (RIDD) and symptomatic intervertebral disk herniation (SIDH).Methods: A computerized literature search was in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, and Web of Science. The pooled results were presented as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Moreover, the false-positive report probability (FPRP) test and trial sequential analysis (TSA) were applied to estimate the significant results.Results: Our evidence demonstrated that IL-1α(+889C/T) was significant associated with RIDD (allele model: OR = 1.34, 95%CI 1.03–1.74, p = 0.029) and SIDH (allele model: OR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.03–1.60, p = 0.028). However, the results were not noteworthy under the FPRP test and TSA analysis. Additionally, CILP (1184T>C) polymorphism was significantly associated with RIDD with adequate evidence (allele model: OR = 1.27, 95% CI 1.09–1.48, p = 0.002) instead of SIDH.Conclusion: The current meta-analysis illustrated firm evidence that CILP (1184T>C) polymorphism was significantly associated with the susceptibility of RIDD. However, the significant associations between IL-1α(+889C/T) and RIDD and SIDH were less credible. Thus, more multi-center studies with diverse populations were required to verify the results.</p
