“…The intra-regional result for the MW region seems to be related to the importance of agri-business to the region [39]. As was observed by Giuliani and Bell [40], with regard to the knowledge and technology network connected with wine production in Chile, which has little connectivity on a local or regional scale, i.e., it is an isolated network concentrated within the wine-producing companies or those that connect with agents outside the "natural" proximity zone (in other regions of Chile), this same process may be occurring with air traffic in the MW region, reflecting the stagnation or degradation of connections in the MW.…”

Passenger flows among cities, at both the domestic and international levels and in different countries and regions, have been studied for forecasting purposes. This paper seeks not a forecasting mechanism, but to understand, by analyzing passenger origins and destinations by Brazilian sub-region, how Brazil’s domestic air passenger network links have evolved. Using income, population, and fare price as inputs, and seats sold as output, air link performance is examined by data envelopment analysis to discuss the regional link of domestic passenger traffic in Brazil and its dynamics, considering two specific years. The findings indicate that, although the highest passenger flow density is concentrated in Brazil’s Southeast region, performance by emerging origins and destinations (O-Ds), such as those connecting the Northeast, display more substantial strength indices and advances (Malmquist analysis). The analysis of specific links was also important, which showed that important Brazilian airports are not necessarily more competent in generating trips. The Catch-Up indicator for innovation reveals the weak point in Brazil’s air transport network. Although some airports enjoy strong networkability, they do not correspond in passenger origin or destination strength.

“…Foreign planting industry mainly manages agricultural machinery [65][66][67], photovoltaic greenhouses [68][69][70][71][72], irrigation [73][74][75][76][77][78][79] to save energy and reducing emissions [80][81][82]. In the analysis of planting agriculture in China, the logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) method and data envelopment analysis (DEA) model are widely used to study the effect of energy consumption on environmental factors.…”

Petroleum agriculture, characterized by mechanization and chemistry, is developing rapidly in China. However, petroleum agriculture has not only brought food safety problems, but also caused great obstacles to the sustainable development of society. In view of the disadvantages of oil agriculture, we provide an upgrading plan for energy systems in agriculture. This work can help reduce carbon emissions and improve food security. We introduce the most advanced technologies in Chinese agricultural development and the technical scope includes new agricultural energy power generation, agricultural energy use and the safe operation of agricultural energy systems. We describe the detailed data of agricultural bioenvironmental and energy engineering to clarify the level of agricultural energy efficiency in China. The overall conclusion of this paper is that the deep integration of agriculture and energy internet has become the development trend of agricultural energy systems.

“…In order to strengthen the use of organic matters, either enhance the productivity of biogas or increase the use of organic fertilizers. 32 In other words, the rational development of fermentation residues for solid and liquid organic fertilizers may improve the material conversion efficiency of resources, and it also decrease environmental pollution.…”
