Rural farmland transfer is a key factor in the successful implementation of targeted poverty alleviation strategies in China. In this paper, a multidimensional index system with 15 indicators from five dimensions, namely, natural, human, physical, financial, and social capital was established. It analyzed the effect of farmland transfer on poverty alleviation under four typical poverty alleviation models implemented in a karst area in China by using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and Difference-in-Difference (DID) to analyze 467 rural households questionnaire responses from five representative villages in Guizhou Province. The results show that different models had different effects on poverty reduction. In the model of "three changes" + relocation for poverty alleviation + rural tourism + poor households, farmland transfer was the most effective in poverty alleviation, as attested by its average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) value of 0.44. Rural households' nonfarm income increased significantly to develop rural tourism after relocation from inhospitable areas. In the model of "farmland lease/shareholding" +cooperative + enterprise + poor households, farmland transfer had a moderate effect on poverty alleviation, with an ATT value of 0.06. Its effect on the total income of rural households was the lowest among the four models. This study's results can provide a theoretical reference for solidifying the benefits of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization strategies in karst areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To address the problem of damage to adjacent buildings (structures) caused by bench blasting construction, blasting in a sand and gravel mine in Guizhou Province was used as the background. Through on-site monitoring and numerical simulation, the blasting vibration propagation law and dynamic effect characteristics under the joint action of different bench heights and horizontal distances were studied. The regression model was established. The results show that: the peak vibration speed in all three directions with the increase in the horizontal distance of the burst center is a decaying trend, and the field measurements are basically consistent with the safe vibration speed and do not exceed 1.5 cm/s, so the house is in a safe state; shear stress with the increase in the horizontal distance of the burst center strictly decays, so the source of the shear stress and vibration speed decay faster in the near zone, with the slow decay in the far zone; analysis found that the shear stress and vibration speed are quadratic and exponential. Through the analysis of the regression model, it is obtained that there is no co-linearity among the influencing factors, which has a significant effect on the regression equation and regression coefficient, and so the multiple linear regression equation fits well. The model can predict the blast vibration intensity, which can be used as a safety criterion for buildings under the action of blasting, and provides a reference for blast vibration control, hole network parameters, and the design index.
