- It is of importance for restaurants to identify their competitors to gain competitiveness. Meanwhile, opinion-rich resources like online reviews sites can be used to understand others opinion toward restaurant services. We thus propose a novel model to extract comparative relations from online reviews, and then construct three types of comparison relation networks, enabling competitiveness analysis for three tasks. The first network help restaurants analyze market structure for their positioning. The second network enables to identify top competitors using competitive index and dissimilarity index. The third network help restaurants identify strengths and weaknesses through aspects-comparison relation mining. Finally, the market environment is illustrated in a visual way according to the three types of networks. Experimental results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed competitiveness analysis using text analytics, which can identify top competitors and evaluate the market environment, as well as help the focal restaurant effectively develop a service improvement strategy.

- Air conditioning system (AC) contributes significantly to the energy consumption of underground metros. In China, most metro stations are designed with water-cooling centralized air conditioning (WC-AC) system, it has been found that several serious problems are brought by this conventional system, such as large space occupying, water leaking, cooling tower noise and low system efficiency. In order to solve these problems, a novel energy-efficient AC system incorporating an independent evaporative condenser (EC) has been proposed and installed at Futong metro station in Beijing, China. A series of pilot measurements were conducted to analyze the cooling performance and energy consumption of this novel EC-AC system. During the testing period, the average refrigeration efficiency of COP, SCOP and ACOP in A and B side is up to 3.8/3.9, 3.4/3.4 and 2.5/2.3. At the same time, some operation problems such as unbalanced working condition have been identified during measurement. The research indicates that such EC-AC system could be a feasible solution to enhance the energy efficiency and reduce the operational costs and carbon emission in metro stations.

- Species that undertake altitudinal migrations are exposed to a considerable seasonal variationin oxygen levels and temperature. How they cope with this was studied in a population of greattit (Parus major) that breeds at high elevations and winters at lower elevations in the easternHimalayas. Comparison of population genomics of high altitudinal great tits and those living inlowlands revealed an accelerated genetic selection for carbohydrate energy metabolism (aminosugar, nucleotide sugar metabolism and insulin signaling pathways) and hypoxia response (PI3K-akt,mTOR and MAPK signaling pathways) in the high altitudinal population. The PI3K-akt, mTOR andMAPK pathways modulate the hypoxia-inducible factors, HIF-1α and VEGF protein expression thusindirectly regulate hypoxia induced angiogenesis, erythropoiesis and vasodilatation. The strategiesobserved in high altitudinal great tits differ from those described in a closely related species onthe Tibetan Plateau, the sedentary ground tit (Parus humilis). This species has enhanced selectionin lipid-specific metabolic pathways and hypoxia-inducible factor pathway (HIF-1). Comparativepopulation genomics also revealed selection for larger body size in high altitudinal great tits.
