Current Status and Development Trend of Research on Polymer-Based Kinetic Inhibitors for Natural Gas Hydrates.

As the understanding of natural gas hydrates as a vast potential resource deepens, their importance as a future clean energy source becomes increasingly evident. However, natural gas hydrates trend towards secondary generation during extraction and transportation, leading to safety issues such as pipeline blockages. Consequently, developing new and efficient natural gas hydrate inhibitors has become a focal point in hydrate research. Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) offer an effective solution by disrupting the nucleation and growth processes of hydrates without altering their thermodynamic equilibrium conditions. This paper systematically reviews the latest research progress and development trends in KHIs for natural gas hydrates, covering their development history, classification, and inhibition mechanisms. It particularly focuses on the chemical properties, inhibition effects, and mechanisms of polymer inhibitors such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCap). Studies indicate that these polymer inhibitors provide an economical and efficient solution due to their low dosage and environmental friendliness. Additionally, this paper explores the environmental impact and biodegradability of these inhibitors, offering guidance for future research, including the development, optimization, and environmental assessment of new inhibitors. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing research, this work aims to provide a theoretical foundation and technical reference for the commercial development of natural gas hydrates, promoting their safe and efficient use as a clean energy resource.

Modelling future land use land cover changes and their impacts on urban heat island intensity in Guangzhou, China

During rapid urbanization in developing countries, changes in land use and land cover (LULC) can significantly alter urban land surface temperatures (LST), exacerbating the urban heat island (UHI) effect and degrading the outdoor environment. In this study, taking Guangzhou, China, as an example, we used Landsat series satellite data from 1992 to 2022, classified the LULC of the study area by the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method, estimated the LST of the area by the mono-window algorithm, and classified the LST of the study area into five UHI intensity classes based on the normalized values of the LST, and explored the influence of the LULC on the distribution of the UHI intensity. The CA-ANN (cellular automata-artificial neural network) model in QGIS software was employed to forecast the distribution of LULC and UHI intensity in Guangzhou for 2032. The findings reveal a strong correlation between UHI intensity and LULC, with water bodies and vegetation primarily exhibiting low and sub-low temperatures, while urban areas exhibit sub-high and high temperatures. The prediction results show that, according to the current development trend, compared with 1992, the water body and vegetation cover in 2032 will decrease by 46.97% and 34.24%, the building land will increase by 263.71%, and the sub-high and high temperature areas will increase by 127.76% and 375.92%. By analysing the spatial and temporal changes in LULC and its relationship with the distribution of UHI intensity during urbanization, this study assists government administrations and urban planners in devising sensible urban development strategies and implementing effective measures to plan LULC rationally. This approach aims to mitigate the impacts of the urban heat island and foster sustainable urbanization.

Intelligent Text Mining for Ontological Knowledge Graph Refinement and Patent Portfolio Analysis—Case Study of Net-Zero Data Center Innovation Management

Ontological knowledge graph (OKG) is a well-formed visual representation that depicts knowledge organization in formal elements (e.g., entities and attributes) and their interrelationships. OKG is crucial for innovation management analysis as it provides a clear boundary to understand complex knowledge domain in detail. In the patent analysis field, it facilitates the definition of a well-defined patent portfolio, aiming for accurate and complete patent retrievals and subsequent analyses. In recent decade, the rapid growth of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector has rendered data centers (DCs) indispensable for data processing, storage, and cloud computing, while ensuring security and privacy during DC operations. However, their energy-intensive operations pose challenges to global efforts toward achieving net-zero emissions goals. In response, this research develops a formal OKG refinement process and uses DC net-zero technology OKG as case study for in-depth OKG refinement and application in patent portfolio analysis. The net-zero DC domain covers five sub-technologies. Utilizing the proposed OKG refinement and patent portfolio analysis framework, the 1801 most recent decade’s patents related to relevant “DC net-zero technologies” are retrieved and analyzed. Particularly in this case, DC colocation and server-as-a-service perspectives are the newly discovered sub-domains for OKG refinement. Furthermore, the research also adopts the technology function matrix and technology maturity to assess current and future technology development trends, providing crucial insights supporting strategic innovation management.

CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS AND PRIORITIES OF SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES IN THE PROCESS OF POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION OF UKRAINE

The article discusses the proposals of urban and spatial planning experts on the postwar reconstruction of Ukrainian cities. Projects for the reconstruction of Mariupol, Kharkiv, and Irpin were reviewed. Foreign experts are involved in the postwar reconstruction of Ukrainian cities. Famous architects and urbanists are also studying the experience of post-war reconstruction of European cities after World War II and the war in the Balkans. These are not always successful examples given the Ukrainian context and current trends in urban development. Today, there is a clear recovery plan, strategies, and projects for the restoration of Ukrainian cities that have suffered the most from the hostilities. Ukraine's recovery plan, presented at the Lugano International Conference in July 2022, envisages attracting more than $750 billion for reconstruction and development over the next ten years. In the current realities of Ukraine, urbanists face complex problems of updating and developing new project documents for the spatial development of cities, communities, and regions. Scientific substantiation of design decisions is needed. Therefore, it is important to update the methodological platform of urban studies. Based on an analysis of many expert proposals, priorities in reconstruction strategies and projects, and a generalization of current global urban development concepts, we have compiled a methodological model of the conceptual framework on which spatial planning for urban development in the postwar recovery process should be based. The theoretical basis for the implementation of the main priorities of reconstruction is the scientific concepts of modern urbanism: compact city, creative city, green city, smart city, healthy city, as well as integrated development and typology of cities. These principles include the restoration of infrastructure, housing, design of barrier-free and inclusive spaces, digitalization in governance, and new standards for spatial planning of buildings for safety. The priority area of reconstruction is the restoration of city-forming industries and enterprises that form the economic basis of urban development. Only the accelerated development of industry can raise the level of Ukrainian science and education, and help restore jobs in cities, facilitating the return of Ukrainian citizens. The author emphasizes the need to update integrated concepts and strategies for the development of rear cities in line with current challenges. In the context of war and postwar reconstruction, these informal spatial planning documents need to be supplemented. The analytical base and clear short-term actions need to be supplemented in accordance with global concepts of urban development and security measures. We need to rethink cities and put people first - their lives, safety, and health. In this context, it is worth recalling the well-known urban concept of a "healthy city", which involves creating a healthy urban environment in which people are protected. In general, there is a lack of scientific justification for a holistic concept and principles of reconstruction, a vision of the future pace and prospects of Ukraine's urbanization, and the development of a network of small and medium-sized cities. In general, there is a need to supplement the methodological platform of Ukrainian urbanism and to develop new project documents on the spatial development of communities and cities in the process of postwar reconstruction based on scientific findings. Keywords: postwar reconstruction, spatial planning, urban development concepts, reconstruction projects

The dynamic duo: A narrative review on the synergy between stereotactic body radiotherapy and immunotherapy in lung cancer treatment (Review).

Immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), is undoubtedly one of the major breakthroughs in lung cancer research. Patient survival and prognosis have all been improved as a result, although numerous patients do not respond to immunotherapy due to various immune escape mechanisms of the tumor cells. Recent preclinical and clinical evidence has shown that stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), also known as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, has a prominent immune priming effect that could elicit antitumor immunity against specific tumor antigens and destroy distant tumor cells, thereby achieving the elusive abscopal effect, with the resulting immuno‑active tumor environment also being more conducive to ICIs. Some landmark trials have already demonstrated the survival benefit of the dynamic duo of SBRT plus immunotherapy in metastatic non‑small‑cell lung cancer, while others such as PEMBRO‑RT further suggest that the addition of SBRT to immunotherapy could expand the current indication to those who have historically responded poorly to ICIs. In the present review, the biological mechanisms that drive the synergistic effect of SBRT and immunotherapy were first briefly outlined; then, the current understanding from clinical trials was summarized and new insight into the evolving role of immunotherapy and SBRT synergy in lung cancer treatment was provided. Finally, novel avenues for discovery were highlighted. The innovation of the present review lies in the inclusion of non‑ICI immunotherapy in the discussion, which provides a more comprehensive view on the current development and future trend of SBRT + immunotherapy synergy.
