摘要:
This paper constructs a comparative analysis framework on how the input-output (IO) model with technical differences affects the calculation of the pollution terms of trade (PTT) and the tests of the pollution haven hypothesis. Specifically, the CO2 terms of trade (CTT) of the world's major economies are calculated based on five IO models, and chain additive structure decomposition analysis (SDA) is conducted to examine the roles of different factors in the changes in CTT. The economic phenomena reflected by the CTT measured by these IO models are found to be different, and a comparative analysis shows that different IO models are suitable for studying different economic problems. Suggestions are provided on the application of different IO models in the calculation of economic indicators and the study of economic issues. Policy makers need to be cautious about policy recommendations based on the results obtained from different IO models.

摘要:
In this study, we present a nickel-catalyzed reductive C(sp3)–Sb coupling of unactivated alkyl chlorides with chlorostibines. This approach is highly versatile, tolerating various functional groups such as acetal, alkene, nitrile, amine, ester, silyl ether, thioether, and various heterocyclic compounds. Notably, the late-stage modification of bioactive molecules and the satisfactory anticancer activity against cancerous MDA-MB-231 also demonstrate the potential application.

Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase (COI) sequences of the new species were newly obtained and a molecular species delimitation analysis of 12 species of Synergus performed using the ASAP method recovered 16 molecular operational taxonomic units, providing support for recognition of the new species. The results also highlight a few conflicts between morphological and molecular species delimitations in Synergus.
摘要:
Improving the adsorption performance of wetland fillers is of great significance for enhancing pollutant removal in constructed wetlands. Currently, limited by complex preparation processes and high costs, large numbers of high adsorption fillers studied in lab are difficult to be applied in practical engineering. In this study, a newly low-cost and efficient phosphorus removal composite wetland filler (CFB) is prepared by using industrial and agriculture waste (steel slag and oyster shells) and natural ore (volcanic rock) as raw materials. The results show that phosphorus removal efficiency was largely enhanced by synergistic effects of steel slag, oyster shells, and volcanic rock, and it was mainly influenced by the proportion of each component of CFB. Based on the fitting of the classical isothermal equation, the adsorption capacity of CFB is 18.339 mg/g. The adsorption of phosphorus by CFB is endothermic and spontaneous, and there are heterogeneous surfaces and multi-layer adsorption processes, as well as pH value and temperature, are free from the influence on CFB phosphorus removal. During the practical wastewater application experiments, the phosphorus removal rate of the CFB-filled constructed wetland apparatus (CW-A) can reach 94.89% and is free from the influence on the removal of other pollutants (COD, TN, and NH(3)-N) by the system. Overall, the prepared CFB is of excellent decontamination effect, an extremely simple preparation process, low cost, and sound practical engineering application potential, providing new ideas and approaches for enhancing the phosphorus removal capacity and waste resource utilization of constructed wetland systems.
摘要:
Camellia oleifera is intensively cultivated in subtropical areas of China, exposing soils to various threats. However, the effect of long-term cultivation of Camellia oleifera on soil properties remains unclear and needs to be elucidated to improve soil and Camelia oleifera sustainable management. This study collected soil samples from different Camellia oleifera planting ages (2, 10, and 40 years) and performed aggregate fractionation and various analyses including physico-chemical, soil organic matter chemical composition analyses and a semi-quantitative analysis of organic carbon functional groups to investigate the effect of long-term cultivation of Camellia oleifera on soil macroaggregates (< 2 mm), mesoaggregates (2-0.25 mm) and microaggregates (< 0.25 mm) formation, soil organic matter (SOM), available nitrogen (AN), available phosphorus (AP), and available potassium (AK). The aggregate particles increased with increasing Camellia oleifera planting ages. Camellia oleifera long-term cultivation did not affected the soil pH in the aggregates, but significantly (P < 0.05) increased SOM concentration with the decrease in soil aggregate size. Similarly, Phenolics-C, ketones-C, lignins-C, and alkenes-C increased in soil aggregates with increasing cultivation time and are mainly distributed in < 0.25 mm fraction. The aromatics-C, carboxylic-C, aliphatic-C, and polysaccharides-C declined with increasing cultivation time and were mainly distributed in 2-0.25 mm and < 2 mm fraction. AN is abundantly distributed in 2-0.25 mm and its abundance increases with Camellia oleifera long-term cultivation. All soils were poor in AP and AK. Our study indicated that long-term cultivation of Camellia oleifera promoted soil aggregate formation, increased available nitrogen (AN), soil organic matter (SOM) and controlled the change of SOM chemical composition. However, our study recommended providing available phosphorus (AP) and available potassium (AK) in soil with Camellia oleifera cultivation for sustainable management.

摘要:
A novel AIEgen molecular probe (N-3QL) with typical AIE effects, good biocompatibility, lysosome targeting, pH activation, excellent photostability, and high brightness was synthesized using two simple synthetic steps. Spectroscopic and cytotoxicity experiments indicate that N-3QL can not only be used for the dynamic monitoring of cancer cell lysosomes, but also for photodynamic therapy (PDT) ablation of cancer cells. A pH-activated AIE molecular probe (N-3QL) was synthesized for the purpose of lysosome fluorescence tracking and PDT ablation of cancer cells.
摘要:
Antimicrobial resistance is a global health security issue of widespread concern. Recent studies have unveiled the potential contribution of non-antibiotics to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. This study investigated the effect of carbamazepine, a non-antibiotic pharmaceutical, on the fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results, as revealed by both metagenomic sequencing and absolute quantification, demonstrated that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of ARGs hosts by 1.2-2.1 times. Carbamazepine facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication by upregulating functional genes associated with two-component systems, quorum sensing and type IV secretion systems, thereby increasing the frequency of ARGs conjugation. Furthermore, carbamazepine induced the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated the overall pathogenic abundance. This study revealed the mechanisms of microbial self-regulation and ARGs transmission under carbamazepine stress, highlighting the potential health risks posed by non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals during the safe disposal of sludge.
摘要:
The humidity stability and phase transition mechanism of the all-inorganic perovskite CsPbI2Br based on an optimized dual-source co-evaporation preparation process are investigated at the film interface level. It is found that the CsPbI2Br films annealed at 300(degrees)C for several minutes exhibit a best crystallinity and photoelectric properties. The as-grown CsPbI2Br film is confirmed to be a alpha phase with a dark brown cubic crystal structure and an average visible transparency of 35.9%. But it will be transformed into its delta phase with a transparent orthorhombic crystal structure and an average visible transparency of 80.3% after a certain amount of moisture exposure. Compared with the alpha phase film, the electronic structure of the delta phase has also changed significantly with a VBM shift of about 0.32 eV to high binding energy. The results of AR-XPS show that the water molecules in perovskite CsPbI2Br after a moisture exposure only adsorb on the surface rather than penetrate the interior of the lattice. When water molecules adsorb on the lattice surface, halide ions should migrate towards the lattice surface due to their high hydration enthalpy, resulting in halide vacancies within the lattice and causing the reduction of energy barrier for phase transition from alpha phase to delta phase. So the CsPbI2Br film will transform from its alpha phase to delta phase induced by water vapor, and this phase transition will be reversed to some extent after another annealing.

摘要:
Energy security is affected by extreme natural, human, domestic political, geopolitical, and fossil energy price shocks/events and green energy policies. The degree of persistence in energy security determines the magnitudes of social, economic, and environmental outcomes of the shocks/policies. In this paper, we examined the degree of persistence in energy security of G7 countries using a new proxy namely the energy security risk index, and a novel second-generation panel quantile unit root test over the period 1980-2018. In addition, we applied the sequential panel selection method (SPSM), to identify the stationary members within each quantile. Our results indicated the stochastic properties of the energy security risk indexes vary across the quantile and the countries. Among the G7 countries, the energy security risk index of the US displays unit root process within all quantiles. While the energy security risk indexes of other countries display stationary processes, especially within high quantiles. Our results have important policy implications regarding the effectiveness of green policies in improving the energy security of the G7 countries and the disturbance effects of anti-energy security shocks. According to our findings, the US has to constantly pursue the risks that threaten the country's energy system while other G7 countries likely do not have such severe concerns about shocks affecting energy security, and these shocks have a short-term effect on their energy security.

摘要:
The immunity of topological states against backscattering and structural defects provides them with a unique advantage in the exploration and design of high-precision low-loss optical devices. However, the operating bandwidth of the topological states in certain photonic structures is difficult to actively tune and flexibly reconfigure. In this study, we propose a valley topological photonic crystal (TPC) comprising two inverse honeycomb photonic crystals, consisting of hexagonal silicon and Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) rods. When GST transitions from the amorphous phase to the crystalline phase, the edge band of the TPC appears as a significant redshift and is inversed from a"∪"to an"∩"shape with topological phase transition, which enables active tuning of the operating bandwidth and propagation direction of topological edge states. Both the topological edge and corner states in a triangular structure constructed using TPCs can be simultaneously adjusted and reconfigured via GST phase transition, along with a change in the group number of corner states. Using the adjustability of topological edge states and electromagnetic coupling between two different topological bearded interfaces, we develop a multichannel optical router with a high tuning degree of freedom, where channels can be actively reconfigured and their on/off states can be freely switched. Our study provides a strategy for the active regulation of topological states and may be beneficial for the development of reconfigurable topological optical devices.

摘要:
Effective resource scheduling methods in certain scenarios of Industrial Internet of Things are pivotal. In time-sensitive scenarios, Age of Information is a critical indicator for measuring the freshness of data. This paper considers a densely deployed time-sensitive Industrial Internet of Things scenario. The industrial wireless device transmits data packets to the base station with limited channel resources under the constraints of Age of Information. It is assumed that each device has the capacity to store the packets it generates. The device will discard the data to alleviate the data queue backlog when the Age of Information of the data packet exceeds the threshold. We developed a new system utility equation to represent the scheduling problem and the problem is expressed as a trade-off between minimizing the average Age of Information and maximizing network throughput. Inspired by the success of reinforcement learning in decision-processing problems, we attempt to obtain an optimal scheduling strategy via deep reinforcement learning. In addition, a reward function is constructed to enable the agent to achieve improved convergence results. Compared with the baseline, our proposed algorithm can achieve better system utility and lower Age of Information violation rate.
摘要:
The use of renewable materials as structural components for constructing superhydrophobic coatings is an important direction for future development. Here, a robust and photothermal superhydrophobic coating (with a water contact angle of 166.1 +/- 0.8 degrees and a sliding angle of 2.8 +/- 0.1 degrees) is fabricated using dual-size lignin micro-nanospheres (LMNSs), comprising lignin microspheres (m-LMNSs) and nanospheres (n-LMNSs), which successively settle on the substrate surface under the effect of gravity. The microstructure armor formed by the combination of m-LMNSs and epoxy resin endows the coating with excellent abrasion resistance and bonding strength. Moreover, the presence of n-LMNSs within the cavities provides water repellency. The coating maintains superhydrophobicity even after the abrasion distance exceeds 320 cm or after 210 tape peeling cycles. The coating also exhibits robustness under various forms of mechanical and chemical damage. Furthermore, the photothermal effect of the coating enables rapid heating of its surface temperature from similar to 13 to 112 degrees C in only 60 s under laser irradiation. This innovative structural regulation approach enhances the durability and photothermal performance of lignin-based superhydrophobic coatings, demonstrating the practical applicability of the approach.
