Energy is the lifeline of modern economy and industrial development. Promoting the high-quality development of regional energy is an important step to achieve high-quality economic and social development. This paper takes the energy policy of the Three-Year Action Plan for Winning the Blue Sky Defense Battle (the Blue Sky Defense Battle) in China as a quasi-natural experiment, and builds a two-way fixed effects difference-in-differences (DID) model to explore the impact of this policy on the high-quality development of regional energy based on the panel data of China's 31 provinces from 2015 to 2021. The results show that the Blue Sky Defense Battle has a significant positive effect on regional energy high-quality development, and this conclusion is robust under a series of robustness tests. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the Blue Sky Defense Battle has a more promote effect on the high-quality development of regional energy in the western and eastern region, as well as in the low and middle income provinces. Mechanism analysis reveals that the Blue Sky Defense Battle promotes the high-quality development of regional energy by improving the level of scientific and technological innovation. Nonlinear analysis verifies that there is a single threshold effect of the level of scientific and technological innovation, the influence of the Blue Sky Defense Battle on the regional energy high-quality development becomes stronger when the scientific and technological innovation level above the threshold. The study provides a reference for policy makers to support the implementation of energy policies such as the Blue Sky Defense Battle and enhance the high-quality development level of regional energy.

Graphene oxide-polydopamine loaded uniform fibrous membranes via robust multi-channel microfluidic-electrospinning method

The rapid development of modern industries has caused serious water pollution such as dyes wastewater, which brings environmental problems and threatens human health. Thus, methods allowing efficient dyes removal from wastewater are substantially desirable. In this work, we fabricated graphene oxide-polydopamine (GO-PDA) by microfluidics, which enables rapid synthesis of products with excellent uniformity due to the precise control of reaction conditions. In addition, the GO-PDA/ thermoplastic polyurethane (GO-PDA/TPU) composite fibrous membrane was prepared in a high-efficiency manner by microfluidic electrospinning with a four-channel chip. Interestingly, GO-PDA not only improves the mechanical strength and hydrophilicity of the composite fibrous membrane, but also endows the membrane with efficient dye adsorption and separation capacity both for single and mixed dyes. It has been proved that the GO-PDA/TPU composite fibrous membrane exhibits selectivity towards cationic dyes, where the removal efficiency is up to 99 wt%. Moreover, the fibrous membrane could be utilized in a continuous and cyclic manner, which still maintains a high adsorption rate (>95 wt%) after 5 recycling, illustrating outstanding durability and reusability. This work proposes an efficient GO-PDA/TPU composite fibrous membrane towards selective adsorption of cationic dyes, which is of great significance in wastewater purification.

Facing Heavy Metal Stress, What Are the Positive Responses of Melatonin in Plants: A Review

With the growth of the population and the development of modern industry and the economy, the problem of heavy metal pollution in cultivated soil has become increasingly prominent. Moreover, heavy metal poses a serious threat to plant growth due to its characteristics of difficult degradation, high mobility, easy enrichment, and potential toxicity and has become a social topic. Melatonin is a new type of plant hormone widely present in animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria, and its biological role has begun investigated in the last dozen years. Facing heavy metal stress, melatonin can play a pleiotropic role in the physiological processes of plants, such as stress resistance and growth regulation, mitigate the damage caused by stress on plants, and provide a new research idea for alleviating heavy metal stress in plants. From the aspects of the plant phenotype, physiology, element absorption, and molecular structure, this paper, therefore, mainly reviews the effects of melatonin on plants subjected to heavy metal stress and the mechanism of melatonin alleviating heavy metal stress and then puts forward future research directions. This information may be of great significance to the normal growth of crops under heavy metal stress and will provide an important theoretical basis for the genetic improvement of crop resistance in the future.

Performance and mechanism of chitosan-modified La-based MOF nanocomposites for high-efficiency adsorption of azo anion dye Congo red

The impact of organic dye wastewater discharge on the environment cannot be ignored following the development of modern industry. The adsorption method is widely used in wastewater treatment owing to its low cost and environmental friendliness. Improving the application performance of adsorption materials is the key to technical optimization. Herein, a lanthanum-based metal organic framework (La-BDC) and its derivative loaded with chitosan (La-MOF@CS) were synthesized with the solvothermal method, and the adsorption behavior and mechanism of anionic dye Congo red (CR) were studied. The experimental adsorption capacities of La-BDC and La-BDC@CS for 100 mg·L-1 CR at 25 ℃ were 260.46 and 227.82 mg·g−1, respectively, and maintained stable in a wide pH range and under different water quality conditions. The results of adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm showed that the adsorption process conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir model. The saturated adsorption capacities of the two materials were as high as 2249.56 and 2041.07 mg·g−1, respectively. La-BDC@CS maintained more than 95 % of the original adsorption capacity after ten cycles, which has practical application potential. Mechanism experiments show the adsorption of CR by La-BDC@CS is synergistically caused by various chemical mechanisms, such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, and π-π coordination.

Insight into microstructure evolution of in-situ ZrB2np/AA6111 composites with both excellent room and high temperature properties

With rapid development of aerospace and automobile, the service condition of structural components becomes increasingly harsh, diverse and high mechanical properties are urgently needed. In this work, an advanced in-situ ZrB2np/AA6111 composite with excellent room and high-temperature properties was prepared via Al-Zr-B reaction system. The microstructure revealed that ZrB2 nanoparticles with regular polygonal shapes ranged from 10 to 150 nm approximately, and a good α-Al/ZrB2 interface bonding was confirmed. The agglomeration of ZrB2 particles was significantly weakened during hot extrusion. Due to the inhibiting effect on dislocation motion and pinning effect on grain boundaries induced by ZrB2 particles, fine recrystallized grains were obtained in ZrB2/AA6111 composites after extrusion. Compared with AA6111 matrix alloy, the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation of AA6111-3ZrB2 composites at room temperature and 300 °C were increased by 18.9 %, 12.7 %, 50.0 % and 34.1 %, 22.4 %, 42.4 %, respectively. An excellent room and high-temperature strengthening effect was simultaneously achieved assisted by ZrB2 particles. The improvement of room-temperature properties was mainly owed to the Grain refinement and Orowan bypassing strengthening mechanisms. The good high-temperature properties mainly relied on the superior coarsening resistance of ZrB2 particles which could fully played the Orowan strengthening effect and well protected the grain boundaries at high temperature. This work provides a feasible approach to design high-performance aluminum alloys and is beneficial for the further development of modern industries.

Three-Dimensional Obstacle Avoidance Harvesting Path Planning Method for Apple-Harvesting Robot Based on Improved Ant Colony Algorithm

The cultivation model for spindle-shaped apple trees is widely used in modern standard apple orchards worldwide and represents the direction of modern apple industry development. However, without an effective obstacle avoidance path, the robotic arm is prone to collision with obstacles such as fruit tree branches during the picking process, which may damage fruits and branches and even affect the healthy growth of fruit trees. To address the above issues, a three-dimensional path -planning algorithm for full-field fruit obstacle avoidance harvesting for spindle-shaped fruit trees, which are widely planted in modern apple orchards, is proposed in this study. Firstly, based on three typical tree structures of spindle-shaped apple trees (free spindle, high spindle, and slender spindle), a three-dimensional spatial model of fruit tree branches was established. Secondly, based on the grid environment representation method, an obstacle map of the apple tree model was established. Then, the initial pheromones were improved by non-uniform distribution on the basis of the original ant colony algorithm. Furthermore, the updating rules of pheromones were improved, and a biomimetic optimization mechanism was integrated with the beetle antenna algorithm to improve the speed and stability of path searching. Finally, the planned path was smoothed using a cubic B-spline curve to make the path smoother and avoid unnecessary pauses or turns during the harvesting process of the robotic arm. Based on the proposed improved ACO algorithm (ant colony optimization algorithm), obstacle avoidance 3D path planning simulation experiments were conducted for three types of spindle-shaped apple trees. The results showed that the success rates of obstacle avoidance path planning were higher than 96%, 86%, and 92% for free-spindle-shaped, high-spindle-shaped, and slender-spindle-shaped trees, respectively. Compared with traditional ant colony algorithms, the average planning time was decreased by 49.38%, 46.33%, and 51.03%, respectively. The proposed improved algorithm can effectively achieve three-dimensional path planning for obstacle avoidance picking, thereby providing technical support for the development of intelligent apple picking robots.

Enhanced Stability and Detection Range of Microbial Electrochemical Biotoxicity Sensor by Polydopamine Encapsulation.

With the rapid development of modern industry, it is urgently needed to measure the biotoxicity of complex chemicals. Microbial electrochemical biotoxicity sensors are an attractive technology; however, their application is usually limited by their stability and reusability after measurements. Here, we improve their performance by encapsulating the electroactive biofilm with polydopamine (PDA), and we evaluate the improvement by different concentrations of heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Ag+, and Fe3+) in terms of inhibition ratio (IR) and durability. Results indicate that the PDA-encapsulated sensor exhibits a more significant detection concentration than the control group, with a 3-fold increase for Cu2+ and a 1.5-fold increase for Ag+. Moreover, it achieves 15 more continuous toxicity tests than the control group, maintaining high electrochemical activity even after continuous toxicity impacts. Images from a confocal laser scanning microscope reveal that the PDA encapsulation protects the activity of the electroactive biofilm. The study, thus, demonstrates that PDA encapsulation is efficacious in improving the performance of microbial electrochemical biotoxicity sensors, which can extend its application to more complex media.

In these chapters, membrane technology is briefly introduced, followed by the situation and progress of synergistic application with adsorption technology. Then, the article compares and elaborates on the advantages and disadvantages of the above technologies, and finally summarizes and looks forward to these technologies being used to solve the difficulties and challenges in industrial application.

Boronate-modified electro-spun Fe doped carbon nanofibrous membrane for selective dye adsorption, catalytic degradation, and bacterial inhibition in treatment of water

Recently, dye and microorganism have become the main sources of water pollution due to the rapid development of modern industries and wantonly draining of living sewage. Therefore, the efficient removal of dye and microorganism from the wastewater have attracted considerable attentions of the scientists and engineers around the world. In this regard, a novel phenyl boronic acid (PBA) modified electro-spun Fe doped carbon nanofibrous membrane, C/Fe@PBA, was fabricated in this study for simultaneously selective removal of dye and efficient inhibition of bacteria in water. Firstly, the C/Fe@PBA displayed selective adsorption towards Congo Red (CR) among other dyes by the adsorption order of CR>Methyl Orange (MO) > Neutral Red (NR) > Methylene Blue (MB) > Malachite Green (MG) > Rhodamine B (RhB) with adsorption ability at 25.75, 8.41, 7.11, 7.02, 5.41, and 3.13 mg·g−1. The pseudo first order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model is calculated to better match the adsorption process of the as prepared membrane towards CR. After 7 rounds of adsorption desorption or 5 degradation cycles, the carbon membrane showed a removal efficiency of 62.2 % or 57.4 %, respectively. Furthermore, the C/Fe@PBA can be employed as effective catalyst to degrade CR in presence of H2O2 under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation by the photothermal effect, and the possible catalytic mechanisms and degradation pathway were proposed. Moreover, the as prepared membrane exhibited high bactericidal rate of 99.94 % and 97.44 % against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), respectively. In conclusion, the as prepared carbon membrane with ability of selective adsorption, catalytic degradation, and bacterial inhiation is a promising candidate of filtration membrane in practical sewage management.

Sulfonate-bridged semi-biopolyamide for Pb(II) electrochemical probing and dye adsorption

With the continuous development of modern industry, environmental problems accompanied by heavy metal Pb(II) and organic dyes become increasingly apparent, and the development of associated detection/removal materials has important practical significance thus. In this work, a novel biomass (diphenolic acid and furfurylamine)-based, polyamide-sulfonate cross-linked polymer (PA-df-OBSC) was successfully constructed. Further characterization of PA-df-OBSC indicated that the chemical structure of PA-df-OBSC consists of multiple N/O/S-containing molecular fragments as amide, tertiary amine, carboxylic acid, sulfonate ester and sulfonate acid. Such structural characteristic endows PA-df-OBSC dual functional application prospect. PA-df-OBSC can be applied as an enrichment-type Pb(II) electrochemical probe due to its specific complexation for Pb(II). The modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with PA-df-OBSC as active modifier presented a wide detection range (0.1–30 μmol/L) and low detection limit (1.31 × 10−8 M) for Pb(II). Besides, PA-df-OBSC also showed selective adsorption for cationic dye methylene blue (MB), with the maximum adsorption capacity up to 521.72 mg/g.

Industrial proportion, per capita GDP, import and export amount of goods, investment in fixed assets of the whole society, and science and technology input positively affected the development of regional logistics industries. The regression coefficient of the energy structure in the logistics industry was negative but not significant. The research results have important decision-making reference values in promoting the regional advantages of modern logistics industries, promoting the convenience of logistics trade, improving the scientific and technological level of the logistics industry, and using other exogenous policy variables to boost the high-quality development of modern logistics industries under the background of the “Belt & Road Initiative”.

Bearings remaining useful life prediction across equipment-operating conditions based on multisource-multitarget domain adaptation

Transfer learning has been extensively used to build bearings remaining useful life prediction models under multi-operating conditions. However, most models only consider single-target domain, the generalization of the model under across equipment-operating conditions cannot reach the development of modern industry. Therefore, this study proposes a multisource-multitarget domain adaption transfer learning network (MSMTDATLN) hoping to solve across equipment-operating conditions prediction. Constructing a one-total and multi-branch network in MSMTDATLN to extract domain-invariant and domain-specific features from multisource-multitarget domains, adaptively eliminating the differences between domain-specific features, enhancing adaptive regression capabilities by aligning output decision boundaries. Improving model generalization in multitarget domains by the above methods, while enabling end-to-end training and inference. Experimental results on across equipment-operating conditions datasets validate the proposed method reduces RMSE index by 7% compared with other advanced algorithms while providing better model generalization, which can provide theoretical foundation and technical support for the bearing prediction tasks across equipment-operating conditions.

Principle of the electromagnetic testing based on the varied frequency domain and its realization

With the development of modern industry, the types and quantities of industrial equipment are increasing. In the long-term production process, various failure modes such as corrosion and cracks will occur, therefore the workload of inspection will increase dramatically. It is extremely urgent to study the combined non-destructive testing (NDT) technology and develop corresponding multi-functional instruments to achieve rapid inspection. In this paper, an electromagnetic testing principle based on the varied frequency domain is proposed. In the first place, spatial uniformity and spatial periodic static fields are generated by the arrangement of the permanent magnetizers, these static fields are fields with different spatial frequencies. In the second place, dynamic fields with different frequencies are generated by different frequencies excitations. Under the time-space electromagnetic field coupling, a new combined electromagnetic testing principle of magnetic flux leakage (MFL), guided wave (GW) and electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) is proposed. The MFL testing method can be realized based on the uniform static field, GW based on the interaction of spatial periodic static field and low frequency dynamic field, while EMAT based on the combination of uniform static field and high frequency dynamic field. According to the above principle, a multi-functional instrument is developed, which includes a medium-low frequency excitation unit for GW, a high frequency excitation unit for EMAT, corresponding receiving amplifiers for GW/EMAT/MFL, and USB-based data transmitters. Finally, the relevant performance tests are carried out, which laid the foundation for field application.

Organization of Effective Interaction Between the Employer and the Educational Organization in the Professional Training of Engineers

The development of modern industry actualizes the issues of organizing interaction with educational organizations that conduct professional training of engineers, because the "personnel shortage" is obvious. On the other hand, educational organizations cannot carry out professional training without focusing on the requirements of industry, and without fulfilling the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard 3++ in terms of practical training.

Efficient extraction of gold from model and real leach solutions using guanidinium ionic liquids

With the rapid development of modern industry, it is necessary to effectively recycle precious metals such as gold and palladium from e-waste. IL (ionic liquid) is an efficient extractant with high boiling points, non-flammability, and high thermal stability. The properties of IL can be improved by modifying the n-substituted groups of their cations, enhancing the separation efficiency of noble metals. Thus, two guanidinium ILs, with the substituents of -R and -OR, were synthesized to extract Au(III) from a HCl medium. These ILs exhibited excellent extraction properties, including high selectivities, rapid kinetics, and significant extraction capacities. The maximum extraction capacities of Au(III) by [diMTMG][Tf2N] and [diPTMG][Tf2N] were 519.4 mg/g and 427.9 mg/g, respectively, achieving rapid extraction equilibrium within 30 s. The introduction of O-containing functional atoms enhanced extraction capacity and selectivity. The extraction selectivity of the two ILs for real e-waste leachate was investigated in pure-ILs and diluent-involved systems, respectively. The results indicated that [diPTMG][Tf2N] showed excellent extraction of Au(III) from e-waste in both conditions.

Origami metamaterials for ultra-wideband and large-depth reflection modulation

The dynamic control of electromagnetic waves is a persistent pursuit in modern industrial development. The state-of-the-art dynamic devices suffer from limitations such as narrow bandwidth, limited modulation range, and expensive features. To address these issues, we fuse origami techniques with metamaterial design to achieve ultra-wideband and large-depth reflection modulation. Through a folding process, our proposed metamaterial achieves over 10-dB modulation depth over 4.96 – 38.8 GHz, with a fractional bandwidth of 155% and tolerance to incident angles and polarizations. Its ultra-wideband and large-depth reflection modulation performance is verified through experiments and analyzed through multipole decomposition theory. To enhance its practical applicability, transparent conductive films are introduced to the metamaterial, achieving high optical transparency (>87%) from visible to near-infrared light while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Benefiting from lightweight, foldability, and low-cost properties, our design shows promise for extensive satellite communication and optical window mobile communication management.

Environmentally Friendly Photothermal Membranes for Halite Recovery from Reverse Osmosis Brine via Solar-Driven Membrane Crystallization.

Modern society and industrial development rely heavily on the availability of freshwater and minerals. Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) has been widely adopted for freshwater supply, although many questions have arisen about its environmental sustainability owing to the disposal of hypersaline rejected solutions (brine). This scenario has accelerated significant developments towards the hybridization of SWRO with membrane distillation-crystallization (MD-MCr), which can extract water and minerals from spent brine. Nevertheless, the substantial specific energy consumption associated with MD-MCr remains a significant limitation. In this work, energy harvesting was secured from renewables by hotspots embodied in the membranes, implementing the revolutionary approach of brine mining via photothermal membrane crystallization (PhMCr). This method employs self-heating nanostructured interfaces under solar radiation to enhance water evaporation, creating a carefully controlled supersaturated environment responsible for the extraction of minerals. Photothermal mixed matrix photothermal membranes (MMMs) were developed by incorporating graphene oxide (GO) or carbon black (CB) into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) solubilized in an eco-friendly solvent (i.e., triethyl phosphate (TEP)). MMMs were prepared using non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS). The effect of GO or GB on the morphology of MMMs and the photothermal behavior was examined. Light-to-heat conversion was used in PhMCr experiments to facilitate the evaporation of water from the SWRO brine to supersaturation, leading to sodium chloride (NaCl) nucleation and crystallization. Overall, the results indicate exciting perspectives of PhMCr in brine valorization for a sustainable desalination industry.
