Investigation of influence factors for sampling and quantification of organic emissions released from paving asphalt

During construction heating, asphalt releases significant emissions, posing risks to workers and the environment. There are various methods for sampling and analyzing asphalt emissions. However, the quantification results of asphalt emissions are affected by various factors, which is not well investigated. To fill this gap, asphalt emission samples collected under different conditions were dissolved in carbon disulfide and analyzed. Emissions, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzenes, and benzothiazoles from crumb rubber modified asphalt (CRMA) and base asphalt, were quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Based on the quantitative results under different influencing factors, a sampling procedure for asphalt emissions is recommended. The satisfactory spiked recovery rate of asphalt emission samples indicates the reliability of experimental results. Emission rates were comparable under different experimental conditions. This method can be used for further asphalt emissions reduction research, providing reliable data to support air quality improvement efforts.

An Intelligent Maneuver Decision-Making Approach for Air Combat Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning and Transformer Networks

The traditional maneuver decision-making approaches are highly dependent on accurate and complete situation information, and their decision-making quality becomes poor when opponent information is occasionally missing in complex electromagnetic environments. In order to solve this problem, an autonomous maneuver decision-making approach is developed based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) architecture. Meanwhile, a Transformer network is integrated into the actor and critic networks, which can find the potential dependency relationships among the time series trajectory data. By using these relationships, the information loss is partially compensated, which leads to maneuvering decisions being more accurate. The issues of limited experience samples, low sampling efficiency, and poor stability in the agent training state appear when the Transformer network is introduced into DRL. To address these issues, the measures of designing an effective decision-making reward, a prioritized sampling method, and a dynamic learning rate adjustment mechanism are proposed. Numerous simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms the traditional DRL algorithms, with a higher win rate in the case of opponent information loss.

The self-distancing perspective of daily customer mistreatment and employee service behaviors

Recent research has explored employees' functional and dysfunctional reactions to customer mistreatment, acknowledging the diverse impacts it can have. Drawing on self-distancing theory, this study offers a novel investigation into hospitality employees’ varied reactions to daily customer mistreatment and identifies the boundary conditions that influence these responses. Using an experience sampling method research design, we conducted a ten-day daily diary survey of 82 hotel employees. Our results reveal that when hospitality employees adopt a self-distanced perspective following daily customer mistreatment, they are more likely to engage in problem-solving pondering during the evening, which leads to enhanced next-day proactive customer service performance. In contrast, when they adopt a self-immersed perspective, they tend to engage in affective rumination during the evening, which increases next-day service sabotage. Additionally, daily coworker reframing strengthens the relationship between daily customer mistreatment and problem-solving pondering during the evening and enhances the mediating role of problem-solving pondering during the evening between daily customer mistreatment and next-day proactive customer service performance. Conversely, daily venting with coworkers reinforces the connection between daily customer mistreatment and affective rumination during the evening, and intensifies the mediating effect of affective rumination during the evening between daily customer mistreatment and next-day service sabotage.
