Respiratory infectious diseases (RID) are the major form of infectious diseases in China, and are highly susceptible to climatic conditions. Current research mainly focuses on the impact of weather on RID, but there is a lack of research on the effect of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on RID. Therefore, this paper uses the system generalized method of moments (SYS-GMM) and the data of 31 provinces in China from 2007 to 2018 to construct a dynamic panel model to empirically test the causality between ENSO and RID morbidity. Moreover, this paper considers the moderating effects of per capita disposable income and average years of education on this causality. The results show that ENSO can positively and significantly impact RID morbidity, which is 5.842% higher during El Niño years than normal years. In addition, per capita disposable income and average years of education can effectively weaken the relationship between ENSO and RID morbidity. Thus, this paper is of great significance for improving the RID early climate warning system in China and effectively controlling the spread of RID.
Internet of Things(IoT)/edge intrusion-detection systems operate on distributed traffic and system-state data whose distributions vary across gateways, services, and attack conditions. We study a server-assisted federated setting in which a teacher reference is fitted from a permitted server-accessible training pool and explicitly distinguish this simulation assumption from fully decentralized deployment. The proposed framework evaluates progressive local training through boundary stabilization, confidence-weighted decision distillation, representation alignment, and validation-quality-aware aggregation. The evaluation uses a leakage-controlled protocol: server and client validation subsets are held out before federated training, update quality and early stopping use validation data only, and the final-test split is evaluated once. Results on NSL-KDD, CIC-IDS2017, Edge-IIoTset, and the ToN-IoT network dataset show competitive primary performance and stronger robustness in several severe label-skew settings. On the Telemetry of Things(ToN-IoT) with Dirichlet alpha = 0.1, the proposed method achieves 91.46 ± 5.54 F1, compared with 53.73 ± 49.00 for FedAvg and 53.77 ± 48.92 for FedProx. The results do not establish universal superiority or a universally optimal stage order: competing methods remain stronger in selected stable and attack-shift settings. The framework is therefore presented as a bounded, server-assisted robustness-oriented training strategy for heterogeneous IoT/edge intrusion detection.
High electricity prices remain a substantial barrier to electric vehicle (EV) diffusion. To address this challenge, we propose a bundled sales model that integrates EVs with distributed, operationally off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems for self-consumption. Using a sequential game-theoretic framework and scenario analysis calibrated to U.S. and German data, we show that, within the calibrated scenarios and declared system boundaries, bundling accelerates EV adoption and reduces modeled oil dependency, measured as the physical volume of fossil fuel displaced by the bundled fleet. In Germany, bundling increases oil-dependency reduction by 7.8 percentage points, to 34.5%, relative to the traditional unbundled model. The bundled model also delivers stronger decarbonization, yielding incremental lifecycle emission reductions of 11% in the U.S. and 29% in Germany under the declared system boundary. Three insights follow. First, bundling is especially advantageous in markets with high grid tariffs, strong solar irradiance, or falling PV costs. Second, decoupling EV charging from carbon-intensive grids promotes household energy self-sufficiency and helps households become more resilient energy prosumers. Third, the threshold analysis indicates that the model is already viable in high-tariff markets such as Germany, while declining battery costs are likely to trigger a tipping point in lower-tariff markets such as the U.S., supporting a gradual diffusion pattern from suburbs to cities. These findings identify a viable pathway for low-carbon transport transitions through synergistic EV–solar integration.
