Education for sustainable development has achieved a lot in the past decade. However, the extent to which sustainable development education can achieve sustainability is still unclear. This article uses the survey data of Chinese families and establishes an empirical analysis model. By using the transition of China's sustainable development education mode as a recognition strategy and using DID method to analyze this issue, we found out that the sustainable education in schools can only help families correctly understand the status quo of sustainable development, but it cannot improve the household sustainability. After implementing the education for sustainable development for all (ESDFA), the average monthly electricity use of the affected Chinese households has decreased by 79.6124 kWh, which is a drop of 41.56%; household carbon dioxide emissions has decreased by 123.8958 kg, which is a drop of 49.16%. Among them, households with their heads aged 40-55 were the most significant. The mechanism analysis shows that the greater the scope of the population covered by ESDFA, the more obvious the effect of reducing family resource use, and there may be a mechanism similar to the herding effect.

Through eigenanalysis of communication matrices, we develop a new objective function formulation for mapping tasks to parallel computers with cellular networks. This new formulation significantly speeds up the solution process through consideration of the symmetries in the supply matrix of a network and a transformation of the demand matrix of any application. The extent of the speedup is not easily obtainable through analytical means for most production networks. However, numerical experiments of mapping wave equations on 2D mesh onto 3D torus networks by simulated annealing demonstrate a far superior convergence rate and quicker escape from local minima with our new formulation than with the standard graph theory-based one.

Based on the monitoring data of ambient air quality and meteorological observation data, the characteristics and meteorological influencing factors of air pollution in Luojiang District of Deyang City from 2018 to 2022 were analyzed. The results show that from 2018 to 2022, the main air pollutants affecting the air quality of Luojiang District of Deyang City were PM2.5 and PM10, and the primary pollutant on heavy pollution days was basically PM2.5. PM2.5 and PM10 pollution showed obvious seasonal differences, and PM2S concentration exceeded the limit mainly in spring and winter, among which it was the most serious in early spring, especially in January and February, followed by December. PMW exceeding the standard had a high seasonal correlation with PM2S exceeding the standard, mainly in spring and winter, among which it was the most serious in winter, especially in December, followed by January. PM2.5 and PM1.0 pollution showed an overall weakening trend. PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentration were closely related to meteorological factors such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, precipitation and air pressure, and were mainly affected by rainfall.

The title compound, [Ni4(C15H12N2O4)4].4C3H7NO, is isostructural with its CoII and ZnII analogues. The compound contains N-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)- N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazine anions and NiII cations linked into a tetrameric complex about a position of point symmetry. Each NiII cation is pentacoordinate with a distorted square-based pyramidal geometry. The ligand exhibits an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The title compound, [Cr(CN)2(C12H8N2)2][Cr(N3)2(C18H12N4O2)]·H2O, contains [CrIII(CN)2(phen)2]+ cations (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) and [CrIII(N3)2(bpb)]− anions [bpb is 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzene or N, N′-( o-phenylene)bis(pyridine-2-carboxamide)]. In the cations, the CrIII atom is coordinated by two phen ligands and two cyanide ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the anions, the CrIII atom is coordinated by the tetradentate bpb ligand and two azide ions, forming a distorted octahedral geometry. There is one solvent water molecule per cation–anion pair, which forms hydrogen bonds to one carbonyl group of the bpb ligand and to the terminal N atom of one cyanide ligand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the title compound, [Co(C10H8N2)2(H2O)4](C7H3NO4)·4H2O, the CoII ion adopts a slightly distorted trans-CoN2O4 octahedral coordination, arising from two monodentate 4,4′-bipyridine molecules and four water molecules. The constituent species interact by way of an extensive network of O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds. The crystal studied was an inversion twin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A radical relay strategy is described to synthesize functionalized β-amino alcohols. This strategy is enabled by photoredox-catalyzed and nitrogen-centered radical-triggered cascade reactions of styrenes (or phenylacetylenes), enol derivatives, and O-acyl hydroxylamines in DMSO. The broad synthetic application of this method is demonstrated by the reaction of structurally diverse reaction components, including complex molecular scaffolds. Multiple functional groups of the resultant highly functionalized β-amino alcohol derivatives facilitate their further transformations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
