As China’s urbanization process gradually slows down and the concept of carbon neutrality takes center stage, a notable shift is emerging in urban development – a shift towards utilising existing regenerative resources rather than pursuing conventional incremental growth. Consequently, the effective regeneration of existing architectural spaces becomes pivotal for ensuring cities’ sustainable development, particularly in the context of achieving global carbon neutrality goals. Among various aspects of popular urban renewing activities, architectural exhibitions stands out as a prime example of wastefulness. The tradition display technologies cost huge substantial one-time waste production. This make urban exhibitions has environmental disadvantages outweigh the advantages in terms of social benefits. This paper will discuss a innovated urban display system in carbon neutral context. Such system aim to reduce the material abandons on urban display activities, at the same time, enhancing the interactivity between urban interfaces and the users. While the urban surface achieving self renewal, it will reduce the cities management costs and carbon emissions from it could be control. Those exhibitions focusing on display, therefore will better match the context on sustainable urban development. The study introduces an renewable urban exhibition system, conceptualized and fabricated with modular uniformity. And Carbon emissions profiling reveals that the system substantially advancing urban ecological stewardship, architectural innovation, and administrative oversight in city planning.

Glutamic acid is widely recognized as safe and has various applications in the medical and food industries. This study demonstrated its significant inhibition of tyrosinase, acting as a mixed-type inhibitor according to enzymatic kinetic analysis. Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis and investigation of tyrosinase activity under different pH confirmed that glutamic acid induced changes in the protein structure of tyrosinase, leading to its reduced activity through acidification and binding effects. Additionally, glutamic acid was found to inhibit L-DOPA auto-oxidation, thereby preventing further formation of dopachrome. The IC50 values for glutamic acid inhibiting tyrosinase activity and L-DOPA auto-oxidation were detected to be 4.69 mM and 0.72 mM, respectively. Glutamic acid had a better inhibitory effect on L-DOPA autooxidation than tyrosinase activity. The L-DOPA auto-oxidation process can also lead to the formation of melanin, and its inhibition by glutamic acid further supported its potential in controlling melanin synthesis. Moreover, glutamic acid demonstrated a dose-dependent decrease in melanin production in B16 cells while maintaining cell viability. Western blot analysis revealed decreased protein expression of TYR and TRP-1, both of which are involved in melanin production, with increasing concentrations of glutamic acid. Molecular docking analysis suggested a potential mechanism involving the disruption of copper binding sites on tyrosinase. These findings underscore the potential of glutamic acid as a promising agent for controlling melanin production and associated disorders.

Currently, gaseous molecular contaminants (acetic acid) is one of the main factors that cause defects in semiconductors and wafers, reduce product yields in high-tech process plants. Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ethyl Ether Acetate (PGMEA) is a versatile solvent with many applications. Solvents used in the solder mask process in the manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs). The diluent in photoresist and edge bead removers used in semiconductor and wafer fabrication is PGMEA, which forms acetate contaminants through an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction. The concentration standard of acetic acid pollutants in clean rooms is 1ppb.In order to protect the expensive optical components, the acetic acid generated by PGMEA needs to be controlled.For this purpose, the activated carbon filter in the intake filter prevents acetic acid from contaminating the components and corroding the material. In this study, we used the commercially available activated carbon fabricated filter to adsorption of acetic acid. The effect of adsorption under different face velocity (0.03/0.06/0.09 m/s) and initial acetic acid concentrations (4/6/8/10 ppm) were measured according to the principle of ASHRAE 145.1standard. The experimental data are also evaluated for adsorption performance, adsorption capacity, kinetic model of acetic acid adsorption process, and isothermal model of acetic acid adsorption process.The results of the acetic acid adsorption experiment show that MM3000 activated carbon has the highest adsorption capacity and the longest adsorption saturation time than KPL activated carbon. The higher the inlet acetic acid concentration at a fixed wind speed, the shorter the saturation time and the higher the adsorption capacity; the faster the wind speed at a fixed acetic acid concentration, the shorter the saturation time and the higher the adsorption capacity.The Langmuir (R2) of the MM3000 sample is higher than the Freundlich’s coefficient of determination (R2), which indicates that the adsorption phenomenon of the MM3000 sample is more suitable to be described by the Langmuir isothermal adsorption mode, which is the adsorption of a single molecular layer on a homogeneous surface. The Freundlich R2 of the KPL sample is higher than the Langmuir’s coefficient of determination (R2), which means that the adsorption phenomenon of this KPL sample is more suitable to be described by the Freundlich isothermal adsorption mode, and it is a case of adsorption of multiple layers on an inhomogeneous surface. The adsorption of MM3000 activated carbon and KPL activated carbon is more suitable to be described by the proposed second-order adsorption kinetic model, which is a phenomenon of chemisorption.

The United Nations points out that extreme climate events are frequent and widespread in the 21st century and have become a global security issue. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have attracted much attention in environmental applications. This study aims at applying machine learning (ML) to rice disaster prediction, and uses SPSS to analyze environmental impact factors. After model training and evaluation, four models are provided, among which short-term prediction results show high accuracy on a single event, which are suitable for water damage, cold damage, and plant diseases and insect pests respectively. In terms of longterm prediction, using future meteorological prediction values to predict potential rice losses is better, especially within a specific time period. Ultimately, relevant units such as the Council of Agriculture or the AgriFood and Food Administration can choose a suitable model based on different purposes (short-term or long-term forecasting).

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric technique for determining the efficiency of a homogeneous set of decision-making units (DMUs). There are two common problems with traditional DEA. First, traditional DEA fails to adequately distinguish the efficiency DMUs. Second, the DMUs within the same industry are non-homogeneous. This study aims to develop a system-ranking-efficiency model to solve the problems of non-homogeneity and efficiency ranking for DMUs in the same group. The proposed system-rankingefficiency model is based on the concept of boundary change and considers the efficiency DMUs with the greatest influence on the boundary as the most important and, thus, as the ones that should have the highest efficiency ranking. The model is applied in the Taiwan securities industry, in which it was found to successfully rank all the DMUs.

Perovskite quantum dots have been widely used in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) because of their adjustable color, high quantum yield and easy solution processing. Furthermore, matching energy levels of device plays a profound role in the resultant LEDs. In this study, a polymeric material, namely poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-co-(4,4’-(N-(pbutylphenyl))diphenylamine)] (TFB), is introduced between the quantum dot emission layer and the hole injection layer PEDOT:PSS, which not only prevents the fluorescence quenching caused by the direct contact between the perovskite layer and the hole injection layer, but also reduces hole injection barrier, both being beneficial to the device performance. The optimal thickness of TFB has been obtained by adjusting the rotational speed and precursor solution concentration during spin coating. The optimized quantum dots LED has a switching on voltage of about 2.2 V, a maximum brightness of 4300 cd/m2, a maximum external quantum efficiency of 0.15%, and a maximum current density of 0.54 cd/A.

Metal halide perovskites have received much attention for their application in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells in the past several years. Among them, 2D and quasi-2D perovskite with organic long-chain cations introduced have drawn significant attention. However, while improving wet and thermal stability, as the grain size becomes smaller, more defects introduced at the grain boundary and surface, resulting in the increase of non-radiative recombination is becoming the main problem which should be faced by 2D/quasi-2D perovskite materials. Here, we report a new strategy employing ionic liquid named 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide(EMB).By adding a small amount of ionic liquid to the precursor, the defect was effectively passivated and the photoluminescence intensity was increased by 11 times and the fluorescent lifetime was increased by about 1.5 times. The flatness of the prepared perovskite thin films has also been effectively improved.

The bolt anchorage performance with shear force has been analysed by analytical method in this paper. By coding in Matlab, the loop and the judgment statement can be used to control the displacement angle. The force-displacement curve of the analysis model from the beginning of loading to the failure of the bolt under a certain displacement loading angle is obtained. In the test and field, the values of displacement and force before failure and the load-displacement curves before the peak value can be obtained by using the program with the parameters. The bolt deformation in different strength surrounding rock mass and the anchoring influence of the rock bolt with different diameters have been studied. The resultant displacement increases linearly with the increase of the bolt, and the resultant force increases exponentially with the increase of the bolt.

In this study, a tour recommendation system based on social media photos is proposed. The proposed recommendation system can generate trip tours considering both the user’s current location and interests. First, we exploited the geotagged photo dataset from social media websites, which includes photo related information such as user ID numbers, timestamps, hashtags, and GPS coordinates. With this information, the second step is to group photos and identify those places that could be considered relevant for travellers using clustering algorithms. The third step characterizes the resulting clusters by grouping them into different categories using latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modelling approach. The last step is the generation of tours using a long-short term memory neural network (LSTM). The experiments show that the proposed system can be efficient to advise future travellers about the places they would be more likely to visit and arrange trips for them.

In recent years, many major manufacturers have been incorporating Industry 4.0 technologies such as preventive fault detection, automated scheduling algorithms, and component management to increase productivity and reduce production costs. Achieving this objective requires a substantial amount of working capital to acquire large quantities of new machinery, equipment to extract data from the machinery, and high-priced big data analysis software. However, most factories in the world are small-or medium-sized companies and have not enough capital to replace their machinery or purchase big data analysis software. It is therefore almost impossible for these factories to reach the goal of Industry 4.0. Furthermore, most of the conventional automated production scheduling methods only consider a single criterion in scheduling, which is not applicable for actual situations. This study therefore proposed a multi-tasking multi-machine scheduling system for multi-stage multi-criteria production to address various shortcomings in existing methods. To achieve this goal, we proposed a novel concept based on skyline queries to assist in the scheduling process. Also, a data structure of "heap" is applied in this work to accelerate the scheduling process. The experimental results demonstrated the validity of the proposed approach.

This work proposed a clustering scheme for Point Of Interests’ (POIs’) geo data sharing in Vehicular Social Network (VSN). In the proposed scheme, some vehicles can form a cluster to downloaded POIs’ geo data when they are approaching to a new set of POIs. One vehicle is chosen as the cluster head to download POIs’ geo data using its cellular network and shares the downloaded POIs’ geo data to its cluster members using IEEE 802.11p network. This work (1) uses GPS to get vehicles’ locations to calculate the timing of triggering the clustering process, and (2) proposes a clustering method to organize a group of vehicles that are proximate with each other for a while during their touring to become a cluster. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can have higher available distance and higher successful ratio of the complete sharing of downloaded POIs’ geo data.

It has often been claimed that concrete overlays are a cost effective, low maintenance preservation tool used to extend pavement life. However, there has been relatively little data to confirm this. The State of Iowa has a long history of using concrete overlays as a means of extending the life of all types of roadways and as such provides an interesting opportunity to examine their performance over time. The work described in this paper summarizes the activities and findings of a study conducted for the Iowa Highway Research Board. Existing databases operated by the Department of Transportation and Iowa State University were analyzed to assess the performance of overlays. Pavement condition data such as IRI, transverse cracking, longitudinal cracking, D-cracking, spalled joints and faulting were compared with design details of the overlays such as bond type, thickness and joint spacing. The data indicate that in general overlay performance is very good in that about 90% of 3100 km of overlays are still in acceptable condition at ages up to 35 years. The paper discusses the details behind this finding.

Thermostable enzymes have the potential as the biocatalyst for industrial applications. To compare the relationship of enzymatic thermostability, the moderately thermophilic and mesophilic bacteria were utilized to explore the properties of esterases. By using the shotgun libraries of mesophilic Thalassomonas agarivorans, and Aeromonas sp., and moderately thermophilic Ralstonia sp., esterases-encoding Lip20, Lip4 and LipRT for α/β-hydrolase fold were cloned, sequenced, and characterized. According to the recombinant proteins overexpressed by Escherichia coli, these results indicated that Lip20, Lip4 and LipRT preferred to hydrolyze short-length p-nitrophenyl (p-NP) esters. The optimal temperature required for the activity of Lip20, Lip4 and LipRT was 30, 40 and 60°C, respectively, corresponding to the trend of bacterial growth temperature. Even at low temperature, cold-adapted Lip4 from Aeromonas sp. revealed well enzymatic activity. In addition, after 60 min incubation between 40-60°C, over 92% residual activity can be retained by the thermostable analysis of LipRT from Ralstonia sp.. Inspecting the predicted structures and amino acid composition, we found that the high helix content was exhibited in LipRT. Also, high frequency residues of Val, Phe and Arg for increasing hydrophobic and salt-bridge interactions were observed. These factors could improve LipRT thermal stabilization and lead to become more rigid.

Recently, studies on the dynamic responses of cracked beams are quite worthy of being conferred. The theoretical dynamic properties of cracked beams previously obtained by La-DQM method were utilized to evaluate the maximum amplitudes of cracked beams. A comparatively new concept which utilized the controller gain to suppress the transverse vibration response of cracked beams in the perspective of proportional control scheme was proposed. A simulation study which applied an active control strategy to suppress the amplitude of vibration on the cracked beams with MATLAB SIMULINK software has been successfully accomplished. The maximum dynamic response of cracked beams is found to be inversely proportional to controller gain. Increasing the controller gain properly to control the vibration of the cracked beams is suggested in this study.

The most important parameter of piezoelectric materials is piezoelectric coefficient (d33). In this study, the piezoelectric ZnO thin films were deposited on the SiNx/Si substrate. The 4 inches substrate is diced into 8 cm× 8 cm piece. During the deposition process, a zinc target (99.999 wt%) of 2 inches diameter was used. The vertical distance between the target and the substrate holder was fixed at 5 cm. The piezoelectric response of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were obtained by using a direct measurement system. The system adopts a mini impact tip to generate an impulsive force and read out the piezoelectric signals immediately. Experimentally, a servo motor is used to produce a fixed quantity of force, for giving an impact against to the piezoelectric film. The ZnO thin films were deposited using the reactive radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. The electric charges should be generated because of the material’s extrusion. This phenomenon was investigated through the oscilloscope by one shot trigger. It was apparent that all ZnO films exhibit piezoelectric responses evaluated by our measurement system, however, its exhibit a significant discrepancy. The piezoelectric responses of ZnO thin film at various deposition positions were measured and the crystal structures of the sputtering pressure were also discussed. The crystalline characteristics of ZnO thin films are investigated through the XRD and SEM. The results show the ZnO thin film exhibits good crystalline pattern and surface morphology with controlled sputtering condition. The ZnO thin films sputtered using 2 inches target present various piezoelectric responses. With the exactly related position, a best piezoelectric response of ZnO thin film can be achieved.

Then, the simulation results at the setting conditions are presented. Finally, the sensitivity of the design parameters is analyzed, including adjusting the braking torque and the dimensions of the gear sets in the differential. According to these results, the characteristics of the new TVD system can be derived in order to develop the whole system with vehicle dynamic model in the next stage.

Urban flooding and thermal stress have become key issues for many cities around the world. With the continuing effects of climate change, these two issues will become more acute and will add to the serious problems already experienced in dense urban areas. Therefore, the sectors of public health and disaster management are in the need of tools that can assess the vulnerability to floods and thermal stress. The present paper deals with the combination of innovative tools to address this challenge. Three cities in different climatic regions with various urban contexts have been selected as the pilot areas to demonstrate these tools. These cities are Tainan (Taiwan), Ayutthaya (Thailand) and Groningen (Netherlands). For these cities, flood maps and heat stress maps were developed and used for the comparison analysis. The flood maps produced indicate vulnerable low-lying areas, whereas thermal stress maps indicate open, unshaded areas where high Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) values (thermal comfort) can be expected. The work to date indicates the potential of combining two different kinds of maps to identify and analyse the problem areas. These maps could be further improved and used by urban planners and other stakeholders to assess the resilience and well-being of cities. The work presented shows that the combined analysis of such maps also has a strong potential to be used for the analysis of other challenges in urban dense areas such as air and water pollution, immobility and noise disturbance.

Multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become common in recent years, but non-rotor UAVs are still relatively rare. This study used an aerodynamic model to replace the multi-rotor design concept and examine load bearing capabilities, specifically for delivery of medical goods by non-rotor UAV. We use static structural simulations for static analysis and fatigue analysis to investigate the capabilities of different structural materials. The simulation results combined fatigue strength verifications, structural safety factor calculations, and finite element analyses to calculate parameters like total deformation, stress ratios, and strain magnitudes to analyze structural fatigue life. The analyses indicated that the factors of safety and fatigue lifetimes of two structural materials far exceeded standard values. They can be used to optimize designs that prevent plastic deformation and breakage. Time and money are saved in the research and development process by carrying out these calculations and static analyses of physical properties before prototypes are actually built.

Furthermore, KDD99 data set is also utilized to test the said method, and the experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper possesses higher detection rate and lower false alarm rate.

Under ideal condition, there are lots of Shortest Path Algorithms such as Dijkstra, Floyd, Johnson algorithms. However, putting these algorithms into use is not as we expected. The reasons cause the problem may be in the Returning Problem mentioned in the following paper. Shortest Path Algorithms only focus on the shortest path between the points, without paying attention to figure out the direct solution from the Starting Point to the Passing Points and finally to the Starting Point. A Shortest Path Algorithm applied in actual practice will be introduced in here, then another case will be introduced and analyzed to explain the following Algorithm: Under the Constraints of time and limit of Loading capacity, figure out the Shortest Path Algorithm through the Starting Point to the Passing Points and back to the Starting Point. At last , the algorithm is of feasibility and practicability.

This method has a high technical advantages and practical value. Two capacitance sensors Cb, Ca measurement spacing 4mm install at the same axis which constitutes the size condition for measuring thickness. The static capacity of Ca and Cb is a constant value. The capacity of Cb and Ca will change when the silicon wafer is involved. This change is checked by the CAV424 capacitive sensor which has better linearity and higher thickness resolution.

In this paper, nanoimprint lithography was used to create a photonic crystals structure film in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) component, and then compare the efficiency of components whether with nanostructure or not. By using two different kinds of mold, such as silicon mold and PDMS mold, the nano structures in PMMA (molecular weight of 350K) were fabricated. Nanostructures in period of 403.53nm with silicon mold and nano structures in period of 385.64nm with PDMS mold as photonic crystal films were fabricated and were integrated into OLED. In experimental results, the OLED without photonic crystal films (with packing) behaves 193.3cd/m2 for luminous intensity, 3.481cd/A for lightening efficiency (ηL) and 0.781 lm/W for lightening power (ηP) where V is 14V and I is 5.5537mA; the OLED with photonic crystal films (with packing) behaves 241.6cd/m2 for luminous intensity, 4.173cd/A for lightening efficiency (ηL) and 0.936 lm/W for lightening power (ηP) where voltage of 14V and current (I) of 5.7891mA, which shows that the latter perform is well.

Tandis que la popularité de la musique China Wind (zhongguofeng ...) connaît un déclin relatif depuis son apogée dans les années 2000, la notion de sinité dans la musique populaire nécessite d'être reconfigurée. Dans le monde de la musique populaire, les flux culturels, financiers et migratoires transnationaux ont créé de nombreuses formes de sinité aux fonctions différentes. Cet article étudie deux manières par lesquelles la perception de la sinité fonctionne dans l'industrie musicale, à savoir comme une sinité recentrée dans les secteurs de la création et une sinité conçue comme projet de mondialisation. Pour cela, l'article examinera un concours musical télévisé dont la formule a fait le tour du monde, The Voice of China, et les productions récentes de deux artistes réputés pour leurs chansons China Wind, Jay Chou et Wang Leehom. À travers l'analyse textuelle de chansons et de contenus médiatiques, ainsi que d'entretiens avec des professionnels du secteur, cet article avance que la sinité à l'œuvre dans la musique populaire chinoise actuelle est souvent façonnée par les marchés, les pratiques industrielles, la censure des médias, les politiques gouvernementales et la convergence intersectorielle. Dans ce contexte, le talent artistique des musiciens joue un rôle croissant dans la formation et l'autorisation des représentations de la sinité dans la musique populaire chinoise contemporaine.
