[Purpose/Significance] In the era of knowledge economy, knowledge has become an important social resource. Effective knowledge transfer will promote the exchange and sharing of knowledge, and play an irreplaceable role in improving organizational knowledge applications and innovation capabilities. Research in the field of knowledge transfer has produced rich results. However, the research review of knowledge transfer from various perspectives in China needs to be improved. [Method/Process] This paper selects CiteSpace software and adopts the bibliometric method to present visualization analysis of 2,854 journal papers related to knowledge transfer from core journals, CSSCI, and CSCD in the CNKI database. The analysis includes the core authors, academic institutions, and keyword data of the sample literature, and draws a keyword knowledge map that reflects the dynamics of the research topics. [Results/Conclusions] Through the analysis of the emergent time series, co-occurrence and clustering maps, and timeline maps, the research constructs a knowledge transfer research system from four aspects: research object, principle analysis, process path and research method, and predicts the future research directions of knowledge transfer from the perspective of enterprises, libraries and innovation: enterprise knowledge transfer research will focus on emerging companies; library knowledge transfer research will gradually increase the intermediary effect; innovation knowledge transfer will introduce topics related to knowledge, technology, and information transfer to achieve interdisciplinary research and innovation.

Agricultural heritage includes both material and immaterial vestiges of past agricultural practices that are directly tied to human agriculture. It holds great ecological, cultural, commercial, and tourism value. There are not many historical sites available for developing agricultural heritage tourism right now, and no experience is ideal. This study used sophisticated PLS-SEM techniques and SmartPLS 3.3.9 software to carefully examine data, examine measurement and structural models, rigorously test hypotheses, determine the validity and reliability of the findings, and investigate potential moderating effects. To address the critical issue of brand loyalty in agricultural heritage tourism, this study developed and tested a comprehensive impact route, which was supported by an examination of 427 visitors' cultural memories and brand experiences, demonstrating their critical role in influencing brand loyalty. The findings show the importance of cultural memory in shaping travelers' brand experiences and loyalty. Furthermore, due to their unique characteristics, various groups react differently to each phase of the brand loyalty effect route. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The establishment of a new type of natural protected area system with national parks as the main body is an inevitable trend of current development, and it is also an important ways to build a more beautiful China. During tourist visits, the national park will promote a variety of ways to enhance the ecological values of tourists. Ecological values can strengthen tourists' sense of identity, but their impact on tourists' pro-environmental behavior is not discussed. Based on this, Wuyishan National Park, a world natural and cultural heritage, is selected as the case site, and the PLS-SEM analysis method is used. An empirical test was conducted on 358 valid samples collected in the field. The results show the following: (1) tourists' ecological values and place identity can positively affect their pro-environmental behaviors; (2) place identity plays a mediating role between ecological values and tourists' pro-environmental behavior; (3) place dependence and place identity play a chain mediating role between ecological values and tourists' pro-environmental behavior; (4) according to the PLS-MGA test, gender and age can play a moderating role on the influence of ecological values on pro-environmental behavior. Therefore, the managers of national parks should pay attention to the cultivation of ecological values and consider tourist attraction, as well as formulating marketing strategies and other policy suggestions according to the different characteristics of tourists. The findings of this study offer both practical guidance and a theoretical underpinning for advancing ecological tourism within the framework of natural protected areas, with national parks playing a central role.

The CuGaTe 2 thermoelectric material has garnered widespread attention as an inexpensive and nontoxic material for mid-temperature thermoelectric applications. However, its development has been hindered by its low intrinsic carrier concentration and high thermal conductivity. This study investigates the band structure and thermoelectric properties of (CuGaTe 2 ) 1- x (ZnSe) x ( x = 0, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%). The research revealed that the incorporation of Zn and Se atoms enhanced the level of band degeneracy and electron density of states near Fermi level, significantly raising carrier concentration through the formation of Zn Ga - point defects. Simultaneously, when the doping content reached 1.5%, the ZnTe second phase emerged, collaborating with point defects and high-density dislocations, effectively scattering phonons and substantially reducing lattice thermal conductivity. Therefore, introducing ZnSe can simultaneously optimize the material's electrical and thermal transport properties. The (CuGaTe 2 ) 0.985 (ZnSe) 0.015 sample reaches peak ZT of 1.32 at 823 K, representing a 159% increase compared to pure CuGaTe 2 .

Objective: The objective of this experiment was to investigate the relationship between the circadian rhythm of blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with hypertension., Methods: A total of 500 hypertension patients with documented circadian rhythm of blood pressure were selected for this study. The researchers collected general patient data and fasting blood samples. The following parameters were measured within subgroups of hypertensive patients: age, sex ratio, BMI, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, HDL-C, LDL-C, duration of hypertension, antihypertensive drug usage, and statin intake., Results: The results of the study showed that LVH hypertension had a significantly higher proportion of grade 3 hypertension compared to non-LVH hypertension (P < .001). Additionally, LVH hypertension displayed higher mean systolic blood pressure levels over a 24-hour period (P = .002), during daytime (P = .029), and during nighttime (P < .001). The 24-hour pulse pressure (P < .001) and pulse pressure index (P = 0.001) were also significantly higher in patients with LVH hypertension. Furthermore, the rate of blood pressure decline at night was significantly lower in the LVH hypertension group compared to the control group (P < .001). B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels (P = .034) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (P < .001) were significantly higher in patients with LVH hypertension compared to non-LVH patients., Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest a close association between hypertensive LVH and the weakening or disappearance of the circadian rhythm of blood pressure. It was also observed that the level of blood pressure classification and plasma BNP levels were increased in patients with LVH hypertension.

Vacancy defects are inherent point defects in materials. In this study, we investigate the role of Fe vacancy (V Fe ) and S vacancy (V S ) in the interaction (adsorption, dissociation, and diffusion) between H 2 S and the FeS(001) surface using the dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D2) method. V Fe promotes the dissociation of H 2 S but slightly hinders the dissociation of HS. Compared with the perfect surface (2.08 and 1.15 eV), the dissociation energy barrier of H 2 S is reduced to 1.56 eV, and HS is increased to 1.25 eV. Meanwhile, S vacancy (V S ) significantly facilitates the adsorption and dissociation of H 2 S, which not only reduces the dissociation energy barriers of H 2 S and HS to 0.07 and 0.11 eV, respectively, but also changes the dissociation process of H 2 S from an endothermic process to a spontaneous exothermic one. Furthermore, V Fe can promote the hydrogen (H) diffusion process from the surface into the matrix and reduce the energy barrier of the rate-limiting step from 1.12 to 0.26 eV. But it is very hard for H atoms gathered around V S to diffuse into the matrix, especially the energy barrier of the rate-limiting step increases to 1.89 eV. Finally, we propose that V S on the FeS(001) surface is intensely difficult to form and exist in the actual environment through the calculation results., Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing financial interest., (© 2021 The Authors.
