Upconversion Luminescence in a Photostable Ion-Paired Yb-Eu Heteronuclear Complex.

Lanthanide-based upconversion molecular complexes have potential application in diverse fields and attracted considerable research interest in recent years. However, the similar coordination reactivity of lanthanide ions has constrained the designability of target molecule with well-defined structure, and many attempts obtained statistical mixtures. Herein, an ion-paired Yb-Eu heteronuclear complex [Eu(TpPy)2][Yb(ND)4] (TpPy = tris[3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazolyl]hydroborate, ND = 3-cyano-2-methyl-1,5-naphthyridin-4-olate) was designed and synthesized. Thanks to the radius difference between Eu3+ (1.07 Å) and Yb3+ (0.98 Å) ions, the hexadentate TpPy ligand was selected to coordinate with Eu3+ and the Yb3+ with a smaller radius was chelated by bidentate ND ligand. As a result, the sites of Eu3+ and Yb3+ in the complex can be clarified by high-resolution mass spectrometry and single-crystal structure analysis. Upon the excitation of Yb3+ at 980 nm, the upconversion emission of Eu3+ was realized through a cooperative sensitization process. Furthermore, [Eu(TpPy)2][Yb(ND)4] demonstrated excellent photostability during continuous high-power density 980 nm laser irradiation, with a LT95 (the time to 95% of the initial emission intensity) of 420 minutes. This work provides the first example of a pure ion-paired Yb-Eu heteronuclear complex upconversion system and may bring insights into rational design of lanthanide-based upconversion molecular complexes.

The Factors Affecting the Impacts of Using the School Improvement Plan (SIP) on Students' Academic Achievement in Malaysia

While professional learning communities are hailed as the solution to raising teacher quality in Malaysia, other nations, such as the UK and Canada, have started to deprivatize teaching. This theory is predicated on the notion that teaching is a collaborative endeavor in which educators grow as individuals and professionals. Rather, it is a cooperative process in which teacher learning enhances student learning. Furthermore, the traditional classroom is rapidly changing to accommodate the needs of students in the twenty-first century while also encouraging the deprivatizing teaching approach. Consequently, this study presents a curriculum-change implementation strategy one school uses to meet Malaysia's evolving understanding of learning in and for the twenty-first century. Narrating a series of anticipated strategic events clarifies the importance of using distributive leadership as an essential tool for supporting educational enhancement and highlights the benefits of consultative techniques. This study aims to determine the variables that influence how the School Improvement Plan (SIP) affects Malaysian students' academic performance. Using a Google Form approach, this study used a quantitative research design, an effective and systematic way to collect quantifiable data. According to this survey, teacher leadership factors have the most significant impact on students' academic success compared to the other two factors. The results of this study suggested a theoretical framework that forecasts the related factors—principal instructional leadership, teacher leadership, and conducive school environment—that influence the effects of implementing the School Improvement Plan (SIP) on students' academic achievement in Malaysia.

Fixed-Time Distributed Event-Triggered Cooperative Guidance Methods for Multiple Vehicles with Limited Communications to Achieve Simultaneous Arrival

Aiming at the salvo-attack problem of multiple missiles, a distributed cooperative guidance law based on the event-triggered mechanism is proposed, which enables missiles with large differences in spatial location and velocity to achieve simultaneous attacks with only a few dozen information exchanges. It effectively reduces the generation of control commands and communication frequency, thereby reducing channel load and improving communication efficiency and reliability. Compared to traditional periodic sampling communication, the number of communications has been reduced by over 90%. The guidance process is divided into two stages. The first stage is the cooperative guidance stage, where missiles achieve consensus of the time-to-go estimates through information exchange. In this stage, each missile is designed with an event-triggered function based on its own state error, and the missile only updates and transmits its information in the communication network when the error meets the set threshold, effectively reducing the occupancy rate of missile-borne resources during the cooperation process. The second stage is the independent guidance stage, where missiles can hit the target simultaneously while keeping the communication network silent. This is achieved by ensuring that the time-to-go estimates of missiles can represent the real time-to-go after achieving consensus. By the design of the two-stage guidance law and the replacement of the event-triggered function, the cooperative guidance system can be ensured to remain stable in scenarios where the leader missile is present and destroyed, and this excludes Zeno behavior. The stability of the cooperative guidance law is rigorously proved by algebraic graph theory, matrix theory, and the Lyapunov method. Finally, the numerical simulation results demonstrate the validity of the algorithm and the correctness of the stability analysis.

High oxygen vacancy concentration and improved electrical conductivity in tetragonal LaNbO4 stabilized by Ga and Mo Co-doping on the Nb site

The LaNbO4-based materials were well documented to be good ionic conductors with the charge carriers of protons or interstitial oxygen ions. Herein, for the first time, we reported that the high oxide ion conduction, e.g. 3 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 900 °C, mediated by oxygen vacancies was achieved in LaNbO4 via equimolar Ga and Mo co-doping on the Nb site. Such a co-doping effectively stabilize the high temperature tetragonal structure of LaNbO4 to room temperature, and thus represents the first case of room temperature tetragonal LaNbO4 with high oxygen vacancy concentration, in contrast with the previously reported tetragonal LaNbO4 stabilized by isovalent doping free of oxygen vacancies or donor-doping with interstitial oxygen. The local structure and conducting mechanism of oxygen vacancy defects were thoroughly studied by computational simulations. The results revealed that the oxygen vacancy was accommodated by transforming two neighboring isolated NbO4 tetrahedrons into a corner-sharing Nb2O7 unit, and the oxygen ion migrated via a cooperative process involving the breaking and reforming of Nb2O7 units, assisted by synergic rotation and deformation of other neighboring NbO4 tetrahedra. These findings provided us a more comprehensive understanding for the LaNbO4-based materials and emphasized the possibility of developing LaNbO4 material as oxide-ion conductors mediated by high concentration of oxygen vacancies.

Cognitive evaluation based on regression and eye-tracking for layout on human–computer multi-interface

ABSTRACT The human–computer cooperation process guided by natural interaction, intelligent interaction, and human–computer integration is gradually becoming a new trend in human–computer interaction. Cooperative scenarios of human–computer interaction systems often contain multi-interface and multi-device results in edges often interrupt the cognitive ergonomics of interface layout. This research takes typical areas as an example to establish a stepwise regression model to predict reaction time at an arbitrary position on the left interface. It uses a foveal region to position the starting point of attention and a parafoveal region to calculate the radius of each objective area, and design 10 similar tasks to analyze eye-tracking indexes through physiological assessment. Unlike fixed thinking such as spatial proximity on multi-interfaces, this research summarises cognitive features of layout based on the positive and negative effects of edge impact through eye-tracking analysis. It analyzes cognition including input, process, and output in human–computer cooperation from human intelligence and artificial intelligence respectively, and visualises the mapping relationship between these indexes and specific stages of cognition. Besides, the quantitative evaluation of the regression equation and qualitative analysis of the eye-tracking indexes provide a reference for other interfaces around the front interface.

Solid-state reaction synthesis of LuPO4:Yb3+, Tb3+ phosphors and the ultraviolet/near-infrared responsive spectra performances

Yb3+/Tb3+ co-doped LuPO4 phosphors were prepared by solid-state reaction method. The effects of Yb3+/Tb3+ doping concentrations on the downshifting and upconversion spectral performances of the synthesized phosphors were investigated. Upon the ultraviolet light excitation, the phosphors show obvious visible light emission, which can be assigned to the 5D4→7FJ (J=6, 5, 4, and 3) transitions of Tb3+ ions respectively, the green light emission at 543 nm is dominant. Upon 980 nm excitation, the phosphors display intense green and blue light emission, and weak yellow and red light emission, which originates from the cooperative energy transfer process between Yb3+ and Tb3+ ions. The synthesized LuPO4:Yb3+, Tb3+ phosphors show good ultraviolet/near-infrared responsive spectra, color-tunable and thermal-stability performances and may have potential applications in the related fields.

Research on the experience and lessons of ethnic and religious governance in the EU under the rise of populism

As a community of multicultural and religions, the effective governance of ethnic and religious affairs is of great significance for maintaining the stability within the EU and promoting the harmony and cooperation among member states. The EU has strengthened ethnic and religious governance by promoting multicultural policies, implementing regional policies, establishing conflict prevention and mediation mechanisms, promoting cross-border cooperation and integration process, focusing on protecting the rights and freedom of citizens, establishing a legal and policy framework, and strengthening dialogue. However, under the rise of populism, the EU is severely challenged, including the intensification of immigration and refugee problems, the insufficient response to religious extremism and terrorist threats and the lack of coherence and consistency of policies, the lack of effective communication and dialogue mechanisms, and insufficient regulation.The article suggests vigilance the dangers of populism, strengthening the rule of law, focusing on education and publicity, preventing and responding to extremism, and promoting the integration of economic development and society. The EU has taken measures, such as promoting legal policy making, strengthening dialogue mechanisms and the governance of migrants, but it still needs to focus on social integration to maintain stability and solidarity. Other countries can learn from the EU experience and develop religious governance strategies adapted to their own situation.

Visible light induced cooperative catalysis by 4CzIPN and Mg(NO3)2·6H2O to furnish C-P functionalization of alkenes and indoles

Carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond formation from simple substrates using photoredox-Lewis acid dual catalytic systems is an intriguing area of research. Herein, an expedient photocatalytic strategy for selective C-P bond formation by employing 4CzIPN-Mg(NO3)2·6H2O mediated cooperative catalysis is reported. Following this versatile protocol, various organo-phosphorus compounds like phosphorylated oxindoles, malononitriles, malonates, coumarin esters, and indoles were effectively synthesized. This visible-light-promoted transition-metal-free method originated from the synergistic interaction of 4CzIPN-Mg(NO3)2·6H2O and substrates. Control experiments and other mechanistic studies were carried out to understand this cooperative photocatalytic process.

Integrated regulations for medical and nursing care in long-term care: qualitative results of the process evaluation: Innovative form of care in long-term care

Integrated regulations for medical and nursing care in long-term care: qualitative results of the process evaluation: Innovative form of care in long-term care Abstract: Background: Long-term care patients, most of whom suffer from multimorbidity, are dependent on appropriate medical and nursing care. Inadequate interdisciplinary cooperation structures and processes pose a challenge for nursing care when residents' conditions deteriorate and can lead to hospital admissions that could potentially be avoided. Objective: Structures and processes of interdisciplinary cooperation were developed and implemented as part of the SaarPHIR innovation fund project "Saarländische PflegeHeim Versorgung Integriert Regelhaft". The aims of the qualitative part of the process evaluation were the subjective assessment of the structural and process level of the complex intervention across all project phases from the perspective of the participants as well as an analysis of the context factors. Method: Qualitative interviews were conducted with all participating facilities and the medical care communities formed as part of the project in order to record the subjective experiences gained in the implementation and impact of the complex intervention. The data analysis was carried out using qualitative content analysis. Results: Both professional groups perceive a structural organizational change that has a positive effect on interdisciplinary cooperation. The benefits in terms of care are rated as high. Conclusion: Various measures (e.g. pre-weekend ward rounds, extended on-call duty) at the structural and process level should be retained when transferring to standard care.

No observable non-thermal effect of microwave radiation on the growth of microtubules

Despite widespread public interest in the health impact of exposure to microwave radiation, studies of the influence of microwave radiation on biological samples are often inconclusive or contradictory. Here we examine the influence of microwave radiation of frequencies 3.5 GHz, 20 GHz and 29 GHz on the growth of microtubules, which are biological nanotubes that perform diverse functions in eukaryotic cells. Since microtubules are highly polar and can extend several micrometres in length, they are predicted to be sensitive to non-ionizing radiation. Moreover, it has been speculated that tubulin dimers within microtubules might rapidly toggle between different conformations, potentially participating in computational or other cooperative processes. Our data show that exposure to microwave radiation yields a microtubule growth curve that is distorted relative to control studies utilizing a homogeneous temperature jump. However, this apparent effect of non-ionizing radiation is reproduced by control experiments using an infrared laser or hot air to heat the sample and thereby mimic the thermal history of samples exposed to microwaves. As such, no non-thermal effects of microwave radiation on microtubule growth can be assigned. Our results highlight the need for appropriate control experiments in biophysical studies that may impact on the sphere of public interest.

Co-wetting behavior of molten slag and iron on carbon materials in blast furnace

The interaction between molten slag, liquid iron, and carbon is one of the most typical and complex multiphase flow behaviors in the high-temperature zone of blast furnace. The wetting behavior among these phases is the most fundamental characteristic that determines their interactions. This research focuses on the co-wetting behavior of molten slag and iron on graphite, using high-temperature experiments and atomistic simulations. The results revealed that the multiphase cooperative reaction wetting process is influenced by multiple factors. The wettability of molten iron is mainly affected by its initial carbon content, while the wettability of slag is influenced by both the initial carbon content of the molten iron and its own compositional changes. The initial carbon content in molten iron affects the carburizing reaction, which in turn influences the wetting mechanism between molten iron and graphite. Additionally, it alters the reaction of FeO in the slag, thereby modifying the properties of the slag-carbon interface and affecting the overall co-wetting process. Meta-dynamic calculations showed that the reduction of molten iron oxide by dissolved carbon is significantly more effective than that by solid graphite carbon, demonstrating that the behavior of carbon between iron and slag is a key factor in the multiphase cooperative reaction process.

Dynamic Optimization of a Supply Chain Operation Model with Multiple Products

Determination of the optimal operational policy for an automotive supply chain is explored under a centralized management approach using dynamic programming. A deterministic optimal control model is proposed to meet multi-product demand over a period while minimizing a cost performance index for a five-echelon network. The production-inventory levels are the state variables and the raw material acquisition rates are the control variables to be decided in the problem. The novelties include parts mixing operations, assembly requirements, and a push–pull chain operation strategy. The continuous model is solved using Iterative Dynamic Programming, an algorithm with successful applications in chemical engineering problems. Its implementation here is the first in supply chain (SC) management models. The results demonstrate that the proposal is suitable to represent the dynamic behavior of the SC and provides useful information to outline a cooperative decision-making process. Managerial insights are derived to improve the resilience and efficiency of the chain.

Degradation of handmade paper: Exploration of water adsorption behavior and estimation of lifespan based on time-temperature-humidity superposition

Traditional handmade papers, as the carriers of paper-based cultural relics, inevitably undergo various deteriorations during long-term preservation. Establishing a reasonable degradation kinetic model of handmade paper under the synergistic action of multiple factors is the crucial to evaluate paper aging and lifespan of paper. This study explores the moisture content and diffusion behavior of water molecules in traditional handmade paper to identify the interaction between fibers and water molecules at the accessible sites by two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-COS). Additionally, the optimized second-order kinetic models for the degradation of three types of Kaihua handmade papers was presented based on the time-temperature-humidity superposition method. A time-temperature-humidity translation factor is incorporated into the dynamic model to quantitatively analyze the synergistic effect of temperature and humidity on the degradation rate of handmade paper. The degradation rates of handmade paper with different raw materials and handcraft processes demonstrated significant effects of the cooking and bleaching processes on the aging degradation process and the durability of the paper. The improved second-order degradation kinetic model, considering the cooperation process with multi-factors and mechanisms, enables the extrapolation of paper aging properties at arbitrary temperature and humidity effectively, which provides a more reasonable estimation of handmade paper's lifespan.

Effect of Q-learning on the evolution of cooperation behavior in collective motion: An improved Vicsek model

There have been numerous studies on collective behavior, among which communication between agents can have a great impact on both the payoff and the cost of making decisions. Research usually focuses on how to improve the collective synchronization rate or accelerate the process of cooperation under given communication cost constraints. In this context, evolutionary game theory (EGT) and reinforcement learning (RL) arise as essential frameworks for tackling this intricate problem. In this study, an adapted Vicsek model is introduced, wherein agents exhibit varying movement patterns contingent on their chosen strategies. Each agent gains a payoff determined by the advantages of collective motion juxtaposed with the cost of communicating with neighboring agents. Individuals choose the objective agents based on the Q-learning strategy and then adapt their strategies following the Fermi rule. The research reveals that the utmost level of cooperation and synchronization can be attained at an optimal communication radius after applying Q-learning. Similar conclusions have been drawn from research on the influence of random noise and relative cost. Different cost functions were considered in the study to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed model and conclusions under a wide range of conditions.

Practical Research on the Comprehensive Quality of School-Enterprise Joint Precision Training of Higher Vocational Pharmacy Professionals

With the deepening of China's higher vocational education reform, the innovation of talent training mode has become the key to improve the quality of education and adapt to the needs of society. Especially in the field of pharmacy, the comprehensive requirements for the quality of professional and technical personnel are increasing day by day. Centering on the precise training mode of school-enterprise cooperation, this paper conducts practical research on the comprehensive quality training of pharmacy professionals in higher vocational colleges, aiming to explore and optimize the talent training program, in order to better adapt to the diversified needs of the development of enterprises in the industry. The research adopts the method of combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative research, and many representative pharmaceutical enterprises were selected to carry out research together with five higher vocational colleges in the province. Through in-depth interviews with 100 students and 40 corporate instructors, as well as tracking the student internship and project cooperation process, multi-dimensional data including internship effectiveness, skill mastery level, job adaptability and innovative thinking ability were collected. The research results show that the precise training mode of school-enterprise cooperation has significantly improved students' professional skills and practical ability, and the employment rate of students has increased by 15% compared with the traditional mode. However, the survey also found that this model is insufficient in terms of students' independent learning ability and the depth of theoretical knowledge. To this end, the research puts forward targeted improvement measures, such as increasing case teaching, simulation experiment and enterprise internal training, to strengthen students' self-study ability and innovative thinking. The conclusions and suggestions of this study provide a reference for the school-enterprise cooperation mode in other professional fields, and have certain guiding significance and practical value for the development of local higher vocational education.

Reactive Carbon Capture: Cooperative and Bifunctional Adsorbent-Catalyst Materials and Process Integration for a New Carbon Economy.

ConspectusTo say the least, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere is reaping undue environmental consequences given the ever-present increase in severe global weather events over the past five years. However, it can be argued that-at least in the confines of current technological capabilities-the atmospheric release of CO2 is somewhat unavoidable given that even shifting toward clean energy sources-such as solar, nuclear, wind, battery, or H2 power-incurs an initial carbon requirement by way of manufacturing the very production abilities through which "clean" energy is generated. Even years from now, experts agree that energy production will be diversified and-as the global population continues to drive the growth of global energy consumption-thermal power derived from carbon combustion is likely to remain one intrinsic energetic source, of which CO2 will always be a byproduct. In this context, it is the responsibility of the scientific community to devise improved pathways of carbon management such that (i) the consequences of combustion on the global environment are reduced and (ii) carbon fuels can be leveraged in a sustainable fashion.In this Account, we discuss a pivotal perspective shift on CO2 emissions derived from a considerable breakthrough in material science from our work at Missouri University of Science and Technology. This account details the development of materials which no longer vilify CO2 emissions as a valueless combustion byproduct, instead providing a path for them to become a potential feedstock. In more specific terms, this work details the development of structured, cooperative "bifunctional" materials (BFMs) comprised of (i) a high-temperature adsorbent and (ii) a heterogeneous catalyst that enable single-bed CO2 capture and utilization in oxidative ethane dehydrogenation (ODHE), oxidative propane dehydrogenation (ODHP), and dry methane reforming (DMR) processes. This Account begins with the conceptual development of the BFMs in the powdered state, followed by detailing the first-ever reports of structuring the materials into facile honeycomb contactors by 3D printing. The Account then summarizes the impressive performance of the 3D-printed BFMs, specifically focusing on how their catalysts (metal oxides and perovskites) influence their reactive CO2 capture performances in ODHE, ODHP, and DMR processes. Such promise of CO2-as-fuel offers a glimpse into the future of a diversified energy economy, in which CO2/fuel looping can play an important role. A major factor in achieving this future is, of course, developing an appropriately active catalyst; an account of whose first breakthroughs in material science are detailed herein.
