An ultra-longer fiber cantilever taper for simultaneous measurement of the temperature and relative humidity (RH) with high sensitivities was proposed. The structure was fabricated by using the simple and cost-effective method only including fiber cleaving, splicing, and tapering. The length of the cantilever taper is about 1.5 mm. The dip A and dip B were measured simultaneously, owing to the ultra-long length and super-fine size, the temperature sensitivities of the dip A and dip B reached as high as 127.3 pm/°C and 0 pm/°C between 25 °C and 50 °C, and the RH sensitivities are –31.2 pm/% RH and –29.2 pm/% RH with a broad RH interval ranging from 20% RH to 70% RH. Besides, the proposed structure showed good linearity in the sensing process and small temperature crosstalk. It will be found in wide applications in environmental monitoring, food processing, and industries.

Highly accurate theoretical study on spectroscopic properties of SH including spin–orbit coupling* *Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 11874177), the Postdoctoral Scientific Research Developmental Fund of Heilongjiang Province, China (Grant No. LBH-Q20189), the Natural Science Research Project of the Education Department of Anhui Province, China (Grant Nos. KJ2020A0544 and KJ2018A0335), and the Excellent Youth

The multi-reference configuration interaction method plus Davidson correction (MRCI+Q) are adopted to study the low-lying states of SH with consideration of scalar relativistic effect, core-valence (CV) electron correlation, and spin–orbit coupling (SOC) effect. The SOC effect on the low-lying states is considered by utilizing the full Breit–Pauli operator. The potential energy curves (PECs) of 10 Λ–S states and 18 Ω states are calculated. The dipole moments of 10 Λ–S states are calculated, and the variation along the internuclear distance is explained by the electronic configurations. With the help of calculated SO matrix elements, the possible predissociation channels of A2Σ+, c4Σ− and F2Σ− are discussed. The Franck–Condon factors of A2Σ+–X2Π, F2Σ−–X2Π and E2Σ+–X2Π transitions are determined, and the radiative lifetimes of A2Σ+ and F2Σ− states are evaluated, which are in good agreement with previous experimental results.

The decision making of scientific research direction of construction enterprise

The determination of research direction is a complicated process, especially in the case of architectural research projects. General research projects, especially engineering projects, usually have several characteristics: first, large amount of capital. Second, the work cycle is long. Third, the return is unknown. Therefore, it is particularly important to establish an evaluation system for engineering research projects. This paper analyzes the literature on the civil engineering. The original index factors were extracted and the final index was determined by expert group discussion. Analytic hierarchical analysis (AHP), computer calculation (MATLAB) and hand calculation are used to determine the weight factor. In this paper, real cases are introduced to help leaders of Z enterprise to make decisions on scientific research projects. Based on this case, it can provide reference for other civil engineering research projects

Artemisinin selectively induces ferroptosis and reverses the immunosuppressive state of MDSCs in T cell lymphoma

Abstract The malaria drug artemisinin has previously been identified as a potent anti-lymphoma drug to treat B-cell lymphoma and myeloid leukemia, but treatment of T lymphoma is rarely reported. In this study, we found that artemisinin can not only cause ferroptosis by up-regulating ROS levels and increasing misfolded protein in T cell lymphoma via down-regulating ERK pathway, but also reduce the accumulation of MDSCs, relieve the immunosuppressive effect of MDSCs on effector T cells, induce anti-tumor immune reactivation, and inhibit tumor growth in tumor bearing mice.

Relationship between infertility-related stress and resilience with posttraumatic growth in infertile couples: gender differences and dyadic interaction.

Are there any gender differences and dyadic interactions in the associations between infertility-related stress and resilience and posttraumatic growth in infertile couples? Husbands' posttraumatic growth was only impacted by their own infertility-related stress and resilience, whereas wives' posttraumatic growth was influenced by their own resilience and their spouses' resilience. Posttraumatic growth may play a significant role in protecting the infertile couples' psychological well-being and contribute to positive pregnancy outcomes. The reciprocal influence on each other within the infertile couple in terms of relationships between infertility-related stress and resilience and posttraumatic growth has been largely overlooked. This cross-sectional study included 170 couples who were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between September 2019 and January 2020. The Fertility Problem Inventory, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10, and Post-traumatic Growth Inventory were used to measure infertility-related stress, resilience, and posttraumatic growth. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model was used to analyze the effects of infertility-related stress and resilience on the couple's own posttraumatic growth (actor effect) as well as on their partner's posttraumatic growth (partner effect). Husbands had higher levels of resilience than wives, while no significant gender differences were found in the levels of infertility-related stress and posttraumatic growth. Posttraumatic growth correlated with each other among infertile couples. Husbands' infertility-related stress had actor effects on their own posttraumatic growth, while wives' infertility-related stress had no effect on their own or their spouses' posttraumatic growth. Husbands' resilience had actor and partner effects on their own and their wives' posttraumatic growth, while wives' resilience only had an actor effect on their own posttraumatic growth. First, our sample was limited to infertile Chinese couples seeking clinical treatment. Second, sociodemographic and psychological measures were self-reported. Third, as the current study is a cross-sectional study, the dynamic process of posttraumatic growth is unknown. Infertile couples should be considered as a whole in studies on infertility. Couple-based psychological interventions are critical and more effective in improving mental health among individuals with infertility. Elevating the level of resilience may contribute to improving posttraumatic growth for both husbands and wives. Moreover, enhancing the ability to cope with infertility-related stress might be useful for husbands and indirectly contribute to wives' posttraumatic growth.

Influence of sulfur doping on the molecular fluorophore and synergistic effect for citric acid carbon dots* *Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 51571085) and the Key Scientific Research Projects of Colleges and Universities in Henan Province, China (Grant No. 20A430015).

In citric acid-based carbon dots, molecular fluorophore contributes greatly to the fluorescence emission. In this paper, the nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon dots (N,S-CDs) were prepared, and an independent sulfur source is selected to achieve the doping controllability. The influence of sulfur doping on the molecular fluorophore was systematically studied. The introduction of sulfur atoms may promote the formation of molecular fluorophore due to the increased nitrogen content in CDs. The addition surface states containing sulfur were produced, and S element exists as –SO3, and –SO4 groups. Appreciate ratio of nitrogen and sulfur sources can improve the fluorescence emission. The photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) is increased from 56.4% of the single N-doping CDs to 63.4% of double-doping CDs, which ascribes to the synergistic effect of molecular fluorophores and surface states. The sensitivity of fluorescence to pH response and various metal ions was also explored.

Advancing sea turtle conservation in the South China Sea via U.S.‐China diplomacy

AbstractThe South China Sea is an important oceanic habitat for endangered sea turtles, which are facing anthropogenic pressures from the illegal wildlife trade, fisheries by‐catch, debris pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. Compounding these threats are international disputes over territorial claims in the South China Sea, exerting a general disinclination toward regional collaborations to solve environmental issues. Since sea turtles are migratory animals that move through aquatic and terrestrial habitats, feeding in waters, and nesting on beaches under the jurisdiction of multiple countries, the species is an ideal ambassador to raise public support for international collaborations. Transnational communications to coordinate conservation efforts across borders provide a positive agenda of cooperation to build trust, creating a politically neutral platform to facilitate opportunities for diplomacy to reset and improve foreign relations, underscoring the value of sea turtles as a flagship species to reduce international tensions and bring nations together. For this reason, the U.S.‐China EcoPartnership between Sea Turtles 911 and Hainan Normal University was formed to empower local communities to protect the ocean through sea turtle rescue, public education, and scientific research projects. Genetic research determined the geographic origins of illegally traded sea turtles, validating the uniqueness of the Paracel (Xisha) Islands rookery, and urging policymakers to establish a large‐scale sea turtle nature reserve in the South China Sea. To define boundaries of the proposed marine protected area, sea turtles were tracked with satellite telemetry delineating their migratory routes and habitats across multiple countries, underscoring the importance of international collaborations. Debris pollution survey at a major turtle nesting beach in the Paracel Islands demonstrated that pollution is negatively impacting newborn turtle hatchlings and that regional cooperation in the South China Sea should promote the reduction and cleanup of marine debris. Laparoscopic surgery was performed on sea turtles for the first time in China to assess the gender ratio of the local population, which revealed a female biased ratio, indicative of the effects of climate change. A sea turtle rescue center was jointly established in which more than 100 sea turtles were successfully rescued and released by the international and local community, including students who won national awards for their volunteer service. Implementing grassroots initiatives for sea turtle conservation have become an ideal diplomatic channel to strengthen U.S.‐China relations as several diplomats, including U.S. Ambassador Max Baucus, have engaged in people‐to‐people exchanges during public educational events. This international partnership serves as a case example in which current political disputes can be set aside to prepare future generations for the existential threat of biodiversity loss and climate change, while increasing peace, stability, and turtles in the region.

Development and Verification of an Enhanced Equation of State in TOUGH2

Abstract A reservoir-geomechanics coupled simulation tool is required in the interpretation and prediction of stimulation and production performance of unconventional reservoirs in a physically rigorous manner. One such a coupled simulation tool developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), TOUGH2-FLAC3D, has been extensively adopted in many scientific research and practical application projects in last two decades. In TOUGH2's most often used equation of state (EOS), EOS4, the vapor pressure is used as a primary variable, however, the vapor pressure lowering effect is not the primary interest in a typical reservoir flow simulation. Instead, the temperature should be a natural and physically correct primary variable, considering the convenience of model input, and the understanding and interpretation of simulation results. In this work, the vapor pressure is replaced by temperature in the EOS implementation. To be consistent with the change of primary variable, the Jacobian matrix is modified correspondingly and illustrated using a case of two-phase flow in one grid block. The development work was verified in three well-defined problems that are related to fluid diffusion, thermal conduction, thermal fluid conduction and convection, respectively, through comparing the modeling results with the corresponding analytical solutions.

German Seismic and Infrasound Networks Contributing to the European Integrated Data Archive (EIDA)

Abstract Germany has a long history in seismic instrumentation. The installation of the first station sites was initiated in those regions with seismic activity. Later on, with an increasing need for seismic hazard assessment, seismological state services were established over the course of several decades, using heterogeneous technology. In parallel, scientific research and international cooperation projects triggered the establishment of institutional and nationwide networks and arrays also focusing on topics other than monitoring local or regional areas, such as recording global seismicity or verification of the compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. At each of the observatories and data centers, an extensive analysis of the recordings is performed providing high-level data products, for example, earthquake catalogs, as a base for supporting state or federal authorities, to inform the public on topics related to seismology, and for information transfer to international institutions. These data products are usually also accessible at websites of the responsible organizations. The establishment of the European Integrated Data Archive (EIDA) led to a consolidation of existing waveform data exchange mechanisms and their definition as standards in Europe, along with a harmonization of the applied data quality assurance procedures. In Germany, the German Regional Seismic Network as national backbone network and the state networks of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, and Bavaria spearheaded the national contributions to EIDA. The benefits of EIDA are attracting additional state and university networks, which are about to join the EIDA community now.

A complete overview of the holding time, and the bearable laser’s intensity of the electron density structure of the plasma waveguide, is obtained. In addition, the holding time of the slow wave structure of the plasma waveguide is also controlled by adjusting the frequency of the array laser beam. Finally, effects due to ion motion are discussed in detail.

Design of a district heating roadmap for Hamburg

This paper presents a methodology for the development of a transformation strategy for large-scale district heating systems (DHSs). Using this methodology, a roadmap for Hamburg’s municipal DHS is derived with an exemplary scenario for a climate-neutral heat supply in 2050. The city of Hamburg is currently in the process of transforming its municipal DHS towards climate-neutrality until 2050. So far, a blueprint for the development of such a long-term strategy does not exist. The presented scenario is based on an analysis of the future heat demand and of the regional renewable heat potentials. In the resulting generation mix, the expected heat demand in 2050 can mainly be supplied by industrial surplus heat, large heat pumps and biomass. To meet the city’s climate goals, fossil fuels will have to phase out and even waste incineration needs to be reduced drastically. After the application to the DHS of Hamburg, the methodology and results are transformed into a general approach for municipal heat planning that can support the transfer to other cities. Most importantly, strategic heat planning should be integrated into municipal administration to guarantee a flexible planning process. The paper also reveals shortcomings of currently available methodologies and tools for strategic heat planning, such as spatially resolved forecasts of the heat demand and regional potentials for renewable heat sources, which should be tackled in future scientific research projects.

Advances in Forest Robotics: A State-of-the-Art Survey

The development of robotic systems to operate in forest environments is of great relevance for the public and private sectors. In this sense, this article reviews several scientific papers, research projects and commercial products related to robotic applications for environmental preservation, monitoring, wildfire firefighting, inventory operations, planting, pruning and harvesting. After conducting critical analysis, the main characteristics observed were: (a) the locomotion system is directly affected by the type of environmental monitoring to be performed; (b) different reasons for pruning result in different locomotion and cutting systems; (c) each type of forest, in each season and each type of soil can directly interfere with the navigation technique used; and (d) the integration of the concept of swarm of robots with robots of different types of locomotion systems (land, air or sea) can compensate for the time of executing tasks in unstructured environments. Two major areas are proposed for future research works: Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart forest and navigation systems. It is expected that, with the various characteristics exposed in this paper, the current robotic forest systems will be improved, so that forest exploitation becomes more efficient and sustainable.
