1. Effect of soil management on soil erosion on sloping farmland during crop growth stages under a large-scale rainfall simulation experiment

Author: Wang, Linhua, Wang, Yafeng, Saskia, Keesstra, Artemi, Cerdà, Ma, Bo, and Wu, Faqi
Abstract: Soil erosion on farmland is a critical environmental issue and the main source of sediment in the Yellow River, China. Thus, great efforts have been made to reduce runoff and soil loss by restoring vegetation on abandoned farmland. However, few studies have investigated runoff and soil loss from sloping farmland during crop growth season. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of soil management on runoff and soil loss on sloping farmland during crop growth season. We tested different soybean growth stages (i.e., seedling stage (R1), initial blossoming stage (R2), full flowering stage (R3), pod bearing stage (R4), and initial filling stage (R5)) and soil management practice (one plot applied hoeing tillage (HT) before each rainfall event, whereas the other received no treatment (NH)) by applying simulated rainfall at an intensity of 80 mm/h. Results showed that runoff and soil loss both decreased and infiltration amount increased in successive soybean growth stages under both treatments. Compared with NH plot, there was less runoff and higher infiltration amount from HT plot. However, soil loss from HT plot was larger than that from NH plot in R1–R3, but lower in R4 and R5. In the early growth stages, hoeing tillage was effective for reducing runoff and enhancing rainfall infiltration. By contrast, hoeing tillage enhanced soil and water conservation during the late growth stages. The total soil loss from HT plot (509.0 g/m2) was 11.1% higher than that from NH plot (457.9 g/m2) in R1–R5. However, the infiltration amount from HT plot (313.9 mm) was 18.4% higher than that from NH plot (265.0 mm) and the total runoff volume from HT plot was 49.7% less than that from NH plot. These results indicated that crop vegetation can also act as a type of vegetation cover and play an important role on sloping farmland. Thus, adopting rational soil management in crop planting on sloping farmland can effectively reduce runoff and soil loss, as well as maximize rainwater infiltration during crop growth period.

2. Chaos synchronization with dual-channel time-delayed couplings

Author: Fan, HuaWei, Wang, YaFeng, Chen, MengJiao, and Wang, XinGang
Abstract: While the significance of oscillator dynamics and coupling structure to synchronization behaviors has been well addressed in the literature, little attention has been paid to the possible influence of coupling functions. In the present paper, adopting the scheme of dual-channel time-delayed couplings, we investigate how the synchronization behaviors of networked chaotic oscillators are influenced by parameters in the coupling functions. It is found that, with the introduction of the second coupling channel, the synchronization region, as calculated according to the method of master stability function (MSF), can be largely modified. In particular, by a slight change of the time delay, it is found that the synchronization region can be significantly adjusted, or even switched from non-existing to existing. We demonstrate this interesting phenomenon for both situations of processing and propagation induced time delays, as well as for different coupling functions. Our studies shed new light on the mechanism of chaos synchronization, and may potentially be used for the control of complex network dynamics.

3. Form-finding and evaluation of spherical tensegrity towards applying in locomotive robots

Author: Wang, Meijia, Wang, Yafeng, and Xu, Xian
Abstract: A tensegrity-based robot is a locomotive robot that operates on the principle of tensegrity, allowing it to change its shape by adjusting its internal prestress. Tensegrity-based robots can be categorized into different types based on their shape, with the spherical tensegrity-based robot garnering the most attention. However, existing designs for spherical tensegrity-based robots tend to be relatively simple and lack standardized criteria for evaluating their performance. This paper proposes an optimization approach using the force density method to design new spherical regular tensegrity configurations. This is achieved by parameterizing the topology and configuration of the structure, taking into account structural symmetry and the even distribution of internal forces. The proposed approach not only generates classical tensegrities but also novel configurations suitable for locomotive robots. To preliminary evaluate the suitability of classical tensegrities and novel tensegrities to be used as a rolling robot, a set of performance indexes including inner space, compactability, prestress evenness, gait repeatability, tilt stability ratio, stride length, and path efficiency are proposed. The proposed indexes can be quickly determined based on the geometry of the tensegrity and thus are useful in the conceptual selection of the spherical tensegrities for rolling robots. They are used to evaluate a set of six spherical tensegrities. Numerical simulations are carried out to verify the feasibility of geometry-based approximating the gait-dependent indexes. Through the evaluation, a novel spherical tensegrity consisting of 15 struts and 60 tendons is identified as a promising candidate for rolling robots.

5. Climate change reductions in lake ice cover duration and thickness help regulate the carbon sink potential of plateau type lakes

Author: Shen, Di, Wang, Yafeng, Jia, Junjie, Wang, Shuoyue, Sun, Kun, Gao, Yang, Shen, Di, Wang, Yafeng, Jia, Junjie, Wang, Shuoyue, Sun, Kun, and Gao, Yang
Abstract: Lake ice changes in winter under the influence of global climate change, but how lake ice changes will regulate water gross primary productivity (GPP) and carbon sequestration capacity is still unclear. Here, we evaluated and analyzed the geographic spatial pattern and dynamic changes of lake ice and GPP on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) in the past 20 years. Results show that lake ice duration on the QTP is 123.36±2.43 d on average, although longer for lakes at higher altitudes, of moderate size, and with shallower depths. Lake ice thickness is between 55–66 cm on average, and its GPP on the QTP is between 0.17–3.35 g C m−2d−1. In the context of global climate change, reductions in lake ice cover duration and changes in ice thickness on the QTP increased phytoplankton GPP during the winter freeze period while decreasing Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions during the melting period.

6. Determinants of COVID-19 vaccination status and hesitancy among older adults in China

Author: Wang, Gewei, Yao, Yao, Wang, Yafeng, Gong, Jinquan, Meng, Qinqin, Wang, Hui, Wang, Wenjin, Chen, Xinxin, and Zhao, Yaohui
Abstract: Vaccination is the primary defense against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, especially among older adults and those with chronic conditions. Using a nationally representative sample of 12,900 participants from the fifth wave (2021–2022) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we examined the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination status and the determinants of vaccination hesitancy in Chinese adults aged 52 and older. By July/August 2022, 92.3% of the Chinese population aged 60 years and older had received at least one COVID-19 vaccination, 88.6% had completed the primary series and 72.4% had received a booster. Those aged 80 years and older had lower vaccination rates, with 71.9% and 46.7% completing the primary series and booster shots, respectively. These statistics represent the situation before China ended the Zero-COVID policy in November 2022 because vaccination stagnated between July/August and November 2022. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that belonging to the oldest age groups (individuals aged 70 years and older and especially those aged 80 years and older) as well as being female and unmarried, residing in urban areas, being functionally dependent and having chronic conditions meant that these individuals were less likely to receive COVID-19 vaccines. Our regression analysis results were corroborated by self-reported reasons for nonvaccination. Vaccination hesitancy probably contributed to excessive mortality among vulnerable populations after China ceased its Zero-COVID policy. Our study provides important lessons on how to balance containment efforts with vaccination and treatment measures, as well as highlighting the need to clarify the side effects and contraindications of vaccines early on.

7. Deep Learning-Based Multipath DoAs Estimation Method for mmWave Massive MIMO Systems in Low SNR

Author: Yu, Jiarun and Wang, Yafeng
Abstract: To realize the direction-of-arrivals (DoAs) estimation without the prior information about the multipath number, a novel method using the deep learning is introduced for the millimeter (mmWave) massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In particular, the DoAs estimation is decomposed into three sub-problems, which are solved by the corresponding convolutional neural network (CNN), respectively. The estimation of multipath number is achieved by a multi-label classification model using the proposed CNN-I. Then, the proposed CNN-II is introduced for the DoA estimation of the line-of-sight (LOS) path. Based on the predicted multipath number obtained by the CNN-I, a regression model using the proposed CNN-III is applied for the DoAs estimation of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths. The proposed DoAs estimation method is implemented by learning the non-linear relationship between the sample covariance matrix of the received signal and the angles, thus reconstructing the mapping model. A series of results validate the superiority of the proposed DoAs estimation method in low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) regimes. The CNN-I is capable of achieving the good multipath number estimation performance across a range of SNRs. The classification model based on the proposed CNN-II and the regression model using the proposed CNN-III achieve the lower DoAs estimation root mean square error (RMSE) compared with some deep learning-based methods, estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT) and Root-MUltiple SIgnal Classification (Root-MUSIC) methods. Remarkably, the proposed method using the CNN-II exhibits the good robustness in the DoA estimation of the LOS path. Furthermore, the low DoAs estimation RMSE is also achieved in the uniform planar array.

8. DDPG-Based Joint Resource Management for Latency Minimization in NOMA-MEC Networks

Author: Wang, Jiayin, Wang, Yafeng, Cheng, Peng, Yu, Kan, and Xiang, Wei
Abstract: In this letter, we consider the latency minimization problem in NOMA-MEC networks. Each user offloads partial tasks to the MEC server for remote execution and processes the remaining tasks locally. An iterative two-user NOMA scheme is proposed for task offloading. Obviously, users’ tasks partition ratios and offloading power impose a great effect on system performance, which can be further optimized based on the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) method. Specifically, we derive an upper bound for users’ offloading power, and all the power variables can be normalized to fall between zero and one. In this way, the ratio and power variables lie in the same range, which can be obtained via a single DDPG actor network. Moreover, the optimization objective and constraints are both incorporated into the design of the reward function, which assists DDPG to learn desired strategies. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the task processing latency.

9. The current and future of terrestrial carbon balance over the Tibetan Plateau

Author: Wang, Tao, Wang, Xiaoyi, Liu, Dan, Lv, Guanting, Ren, Shuai, Ding, Jinzhi, Chen, Baozhang, Qu, Jiansheng, Wang, Yafeng, Piao, Shilong, and Chen, Fahu
Abstract: The contemporary carbon balance over the Tibetan Plateau is highly uncertain with a ten-fold difference between various estimates. In a warming world, the potential exists for a large carbon release from its permafrost which could compromise China’s 2060 carbon-neutral goal. Here, we used a satellite- and inventory-based approach, ecosystem models, and atmospheric inversions to estimate that the carbon sink was 33.12–37.84 TgC yr−1during 2000–2015. The carbon sink induced by climate change and increasing CO2levels largely overcompensated for a livestock grazing-induced carbon source of 0.38 TgC yr−1. By 2060, the carbon sink is projected to increase by 38.3–74.5% under moderate to high emissions scenarios, with the enhanced vegetation carbon uptake outweighing the warming-induced permafrost carbon release. The restoration of degraded grassland could sequestrate an additional 9.06 TgC yr−1, leading to a total carbon sink of 57.78–70.52 TgC yr−1. We conclude that the Tibetan Plateau’s ecosystems absorbed two-and-a-half times the amount of its cumulative fossil CO2emissions during 2000–2015 and that their carbon sinks will almost double in strength in the future, helping to achieve China’s pledge to become carbon neutral by 2060.

12. Friction properties of bulk isotropic pyrocarbon materials based on different composite microstructures

Author: Wang, Yafeng, Fan, Zheqiong, Zhou, Xunpeng, Zeng, Chen, Xu, Ping, Xie, Xiangmin, Wang, Xiaodong, Zhang, Mingyu, Su, Zhean, and Huang, Qizhong
Abstract: The isotropic pyrocarbon bulk materials were prepared by the fixed-bed chemical vapor deposition method, and the internal structure was composed of ribbon-like structure and spherical structure together. The friction behaviors of isotropic pyrocarbon at room temperature were studied by characterizing the microstructure and friction morphology. The frictional properties of isotropic pyrocarbon are greatly influenced by internal ribbon-like pyrocarbon. With a higher content of ribbon-like pyrocarbon, the material produces a moderately rough friction film, which improves the stability of the friction coefficient. Meanwhile, ribbon-like pyrocarbon increases the hardness of the material and reduces its wear rate. In addition, external stress can impact the friction behavior of the material. Increasing the external load causes the friction film to become more continuous and uniform, reducing the overall friction coefficient of the material. When the load is low (50 N and 100 N), the friction coefficient tends to stabilize more quickly. Nevertheless, an excessive load (200 N) will result in the creation of grooves, making it difficult to stabilize the friction coefficient of the material.

13. Enhancing Electrochemical Performance of CoF2–Li Batteries via Honeycombed Nanocomposite Cathode

Author: Wang, Yujie, Zhang, Mingyu, Zhang, Yuxuan, Wang, Yafeng, Liu, Wenxin, Yang, Chujie, Kondratiev, Veniamin, and Wu, Feixiang
Abstract: Metal fluoride–lithium batteries have been viewed as very promising candidates for next-generation rechargeable batteries with higher energy densities. However, the intrinsic insulating properties of metal fluoride cathode lead to the poor reaction kinetics and unsatisfactory electrochemical performance. Herein, a honeycombed CoF2@C nanocomposite with a high specific surface area up to 180.4 m2g–1, in which the nanosized CoF2particles with size of 5–25 nm are evenly embedded in the honeycombed carbon framework, is prepared by the low-temperature fluorination of honeycombed Co@C nanocomposite precursor. As expected, the as-produced CoF2@C nanocomposite can deliver a high-capacity utilization of 365 mAh g–1and an average capacity retention of 81.9% over 300 cycles at a current density of 110 mA g–1, as well as a reasonable capacity of 205 mAh g–1at 1100 mA g–1. Such excellent electrochemical performance is due to the unique configuration that achieves the nanoconfinement of conversion reaction in the metal fluoride cathode. To be specific, on the one hand, the honeycombed structure provides uniformly isolated nanospace to inhibit the volume expansion and product agglomeration in the conversion reaction. On the other hand, the excellent reaction kinetics is attributed to the three-dimensional electron and ion conduction pathway, that is, the electrons are conducted through the honeycombed carbon walls, while Li+are transferred via the interconnected honeycomb channels, facilitating the high-capacity utilization.

15. A Novel Two-Step Tensegrity Topology-Finding Method Based on Mixed Integer Programming and Nonlinear Programming

Author: Xu, Xian, Huang, Shaoxiong, Shu, Tingting, Wang, Yafeng, and Luo, Yaozhi
Abstract: A two-step topology-finding method based on mixed integer programming and nonlinear programming is proposed for tensegrity structures. In the first step, feasible and symmetric strut connectivities are obtained through a ground structure method combined with mixed integer programming; in the second step, the cable connectivities are optimized through nonlinear programming to obtain a feasible tensegrity structure. The same ground structure used in the first step is adopted in the second step, which is beneficial to find a more symmetric cable layout. The independent continuous mapping method is used in the second step to convert the 0–1 binary variables of cable connectivities to continuous variables to transform the combinatorial optimization problem into a nonlinear programming problem. The number of strut lengths is adopted as a control parameter and a symmetry objective function is proposed to generate a variety of regular and symmetric tensegrity structures. A multi-stage computation scheme is proposed to improve the computational efficiency. Typical examples are carried out to validate the proposed method. The computational efficiency of the method is benchmarked with existing methods fully based on mixed integer programming. Results demonstrate that the computational efficiency of the proposed method is significantly improved compared to the existing methods.

16. The Effect of Ionic Strength on the Electrochemiluminescence Generation by Tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)/Tri-n-propylamine

Author: Hu, Shifan, Wang, Yafeng, and Su, Bin
Abstract: Electrochemiluminescence(ECL) is a powerful transduction technique used in biosensing and in vitrodiagnosis, while the mechanism of ECL generation is complicated and affected by various factors. Herein the effect of ionic strength on ECL generation by the classical tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)[Ru(bpy)32+]/tri-n-propylamine(TPrA) system was investigated. It is clear that the ECL intensity decreases significantly with the increase of ionic strength, most likely arising from the reduced deprotonation rate of TPrA+·. We further combined microtube electrode(MTE) with ECL microscopy to unravel the evolution of ECL layer with the variation of ionic strength. At a low concentration of Ru(bpy)32+, the thickness of ECL layer(TEL) nearly kept unchanged with the ionic strength, indicating the surface-confined ECL generation is dominated by the oxidative-reduction route. While at a high concentration of Ru(bpy)32+, ECL generation is dominated by the catalytic route and TEL increases remarkably with the increase of ionic strength, because of the extended diffusion length of Ru(bpy)33+at a reduced concentration of TPrA·.

17. Criteria of success for engineering accident investigations: a question-centered account

Author: Wang, Yafeng
Abstract: Engineering accident investigations are systematic inquiries into the facts and causes of engineering accidents. The aims of an engineering accident investigation include identifying significant truths about an accident, learning lessons to prevent similar future accidents, and authoritatively communicating the investigative results to the stakeholders. An important normative dimension along which an engineering accident investigation can be evaluated is its degree of success in fulfilling these aims. In this paper, I propose criteria for evaluating the degree of success of an engineering accident investigation using a question-centered framework, and then argue for the relevance of this proposal to the actual engineering practice. The basic idea of my proposal is that an engineering accident investigation is successful to the extent that (1) questions that should arise in the investigation do arise, and (2) questions that arise—especially the more significant ones—are resolved satisfactorily by the end of the investigation. The first part of this paper unpacks my proposal by analyzing the following three concepts and illustrating them using examples from the TWA Flight 800 accident investigation: The (satisfactory) resolution of questions, the significance of questions, and the arising of questions. The second part of this paper argues for the relevance of my proposal to the practitioners and stakeholders of engineering accident investigations. First, I argue that my proposal is sensitive to the aims of the investigators and stakeholders regarding engineering accident investigations, and that it helps them navigate competing and conflicting aims. Second, I go beyond the TWA 800 case study and argue that my proposal explains the strengths and limitations of different types of accident causation models used in investigations.

Subjects: SILICON carbide, CATALYSTS, SUBLIMATION (Chemistry), NANODIAMONDS, TEMPERATURE control, TRANSMISSION electron microscopy, DISCONTINUOUS precipitation, DECOMPOSITION method
Abstract: Nanodiamonds (NDs) were prepared under ambient pressure by sublimation decomposition of silicon carbide in an intermediate frequency furnace for only 8 min. The synthesis proceeded in the temperature range of 2600-2800 °C without any catalyst or highly active gas components (such as H 2 , alkane, and halogen). The conversion began at 2600 °C and produced NDs with particle sizes in the range of 1-5 nm with a uniform particle shape and excellent dispersion. The linear reaction kinetics allowed for rapid transformation to any depth with reasonable control of the temperature. The linear rate constant (K l) for the reaction at 2800 °C was 37.5 mm/h, which is 31.2 times that of the reaction at 2600 °C. The SiC sublimation decomposition produced carbon atoms that filled the SiC lattice vacancies or were combined with the suspended carbon chain bonds to form sp3 carbon, while the diffusion of amorphous carbon atoms promoted nucleation and growth of diamond. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated that the NDs were separated from the SiC matrix by break-off due to propagation of the reaction front. This SiC sublimation decomposition method is considered simple, fast, environmentally friendly and promising for industrial-scale production. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

19. Relationship of microRNA locus with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a case–control study

Author: Huang, Qiuyu, Chen, Hanshen, Xu, Fan, Liu, Chao, Wang, Yafeng, Tang, Weifeng, and Chen, Liangwan
Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered as a metabolic disease with hyperglycemia. Accumulating investigations have explored the important role of hereditary factors for T2DM occurrence. Some functional microRNA (miR) polymorphisms may affect their interactions with target mRNAs and result in an aberrant expression. Thus, miR variants might be considered as a biomarker of the susceptibility of T2DM. In this study, we recruited 502 T2DM cases and 782 healthy subjects. We selected miR-146a rs2910164 C>G, miR-196a2 rs11614913 T>C and miR-499 rs3746444 A>G loci and carried out an investigation to identify whether these miR loci could influence T2DM occurrence. In this investigation, a Bonferroni correction was harnessed. After adjustment, we found that rs2910164 SNP was a protective factor for T2DM (GG vs CC/CG: adjusted P= 0.010), especially in never drinking (GG vs CC/CG: adjusted P= 0.001) and BMI ≥24 kg/m2(GG vs CC/CG: adjusted P= 0.002) subgroups. We also identified that rs11614913 SNP was a protective factor for T2DM in smoking subjects (CC/TC vs TT: adjusted P= 0.002). When we analyzed an interaction of SNP–SNP with the susceptibility tof T2DM, rs11614913/rs3746444, rs2910164/rs3746444 and rs11614913/rs2910164 combinations were not associated with the risk of T2DM. In summary, this study highlights that rs2910164 SNP decreases the susceptibility of T2DM, especially in BMI ≥24 kg/m2and never drinking subgroups. In addition, we also identify that rs11614913 C allele decreases the susceptibility of T2DM significantly in smoking subgroup.

21. An Arcless Step Voltage Regulator Based on Series-Connected Converter for Branch Current Suppression

Author: Wang, Yafeng, Zhao, Tiefu, Rashidi, Mohammad, Schaar, Jonathan, and Trujillo, Antonio
Abstract: With more distributed power generation and renewable energy penetration, voltage fluctuation and power generation variation can be observed more frequently in the modern power distribution network. More tap change operations are required for the step voltage regulator (SVR) to regulate the line voltage. However, the tap changing mechanism of the conventional SVR always generates an electric arc when tap changes, which imposes constraints on conventional SVRs, such as lifetime and maintenance period. This article proposed a new topology of arcless step voltage regulator based on a series-connected converter for current suppression. The system efficiency is the same as the conventional SVR in the normal operation, while the converter power rating is only 0.3% of the total system power. A scaled-down prototype of the arcless SVR is developed to verify the proposed arcless tap changing method. The hardware test results verified that the proposed arcless step voltage regulator can eliminate arcing during the tap change and reduce the contact erosion rate by over 10000 times the conventional arcing SVR. Other advantages of the novel method over the conventional SVR, such as advanced load voltage regulation and volt/var control, are also verified.

22. Numerical simulation of a UAV impacting engine fan blades

Author: YU, Jingyu, LI, Bingjin, LIU, Jun, HOU, Naidan, ZHANG, Yingchun, WANG, Yafeng, and LI, Yulong
Abstract: A 3D digital model of a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is obtained by using the method of scanning reverse modeling and joint mapping. A numerical simulation of a small UAV strikes on rotary engine blades, presented in this paper, was performed with a Transient Nonlinear Finite Element code PAM-CRASH software. A test of motor strike on plate was developed and the dynamic response of the plate were obtained to validate the numerical simulation method of a UAV strike on blades. Based on this, dynamic damage response caused by UAV on the engine blades were studied. It is indicated that the impact process between the UAV and a single blade can be divided into two typical stages: cutting and impact. Cutting mainly leads to the failure of the leading edge material, and impact mainly leads to the plastic deformation of the blade. At the same time, it is compared with the damage impacted by bird with the same mass. For the same mass of bird and UAV, the damage caused by UAV striking fan blade is more serious, and 1.345 kg UAV striking fan blade of typical civil aviation engine is enough to cause damage to flight safety.

23. Luminal polyethylene glycol solution delays the onset of preservation injury in the human intestine

Author: Søfteland, John M., Bagge, Jasmine, Padma, Arvind M., Casselbrant, Anna, Zhu, Changlian, Wang, Yafeng, Hellström, Mats, Olausson, Michael, and Oltean, Mihai
Abstract: The organ damage incurred during the cold storage (CS) of intestinal grafts has short and long‐term consequences. Animal studies suggest that additional luminal preservation (LP) with polyethylene glycol (PEG) may alleviate this damage. This study aims to validate these findings using human intestines. Ileal segments, perfused intravascularly with IGL‐1 solution, were procured from 32 multiorgan donors and divided into two parts: one containing a PEG 3350‐based solution introduced luminally (LP group) and another one without luminal treatment (control). Sampling was performed after 4 h, 8 h, 14 h, and 24 h of CS. Histology was assessed using the Chiu/Park score. Tight junctions (TJ), several inflammatory markers, and transcription factors were examined by immunofluorescence, ddPCR, and western blot. Tissue water content (edema) was also measured. Apoptotic activity was assessed with caspase ‐2, ‐3, and ‐9 assays. LP significantly lowered mucosal injury at all time points. Redistribution of TJ proteins occurred earlier and more severely in the control group. After 24 h of CS, LP intestines showed an emerging unfolding protein response. Increased caspase‐3 and −9 activity was found in the control group. The current results indicate that luminal PEG is safe and effective in reducing damage to the intestinal epithelium during CS. A simple, widely available polyethylene glycol solution introduced into the small intestine during organ procurement significantly improves mucosal histology and alleviates the preservation injury after transplantation.

24. Association of Physical Activity Intensity With Mortality: A National Cohort Study of 403 681 US Adults

Author: Wang, Yafeng, Nie, Jing, Ferrari, Gerson, Rey-Lopez, Juan Pablo, and Rezende, Leandro F. M.
Abstract: IMPORTANCE: It is unclear whether, for the same amount of total physical activity, a higher proportion of vigorous physical activity (VPA) to total physical activity is associated with a greater reduction in mortality. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of the proportion of VPA to total physical activity (defined as moderate to vigorous physical activity [MVPA]) with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality, and cancer mortality. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This cohort study included 403 681 adults from the National Health Interview Survey 1997-2013 who provided data on self-reported physical activity and were linked to the National Death Index records through December 31, 2015. Statistical analysis was performed from May 15, 2018, to August 15, 2020. EXPOSURES: Proportion of VPA to total physical activity among participants performing any MVPA. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: All-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality, and cancer mortality. Cox proportional hazards regression models were performed to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs, adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle risk factors, and total physical activity. RESULT: Among the 403 681 individuals (225 569 women [51.7%]; mean [SD] age, 42.8 [16.3] years) in the study, during a median 10.1 years (interquartile range, 5.4-14.6 years) of follow-up (407.3 million person-years), 36 861 deaths occurred. Mutually adjusted models considering the recommendations of moderate physical activity (MPA; 150-299 vs 0 minutes per week) and VPA (≥75-149 vs 0 minutes per week) showed similar associations for all-cause mortality (MPA: HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.80-0.87; and VPA: HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.76-0.84) and cardiovascular disease mortality (MPA: HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.68-0.83; and VPA: HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.70-0.91). For the same contrasts, VPA (HR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.80-0.99) showed a stronger inverse association with cancer mortality compared with MPA (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.86-1.02). Among participants performing any MVPA, a higher proportion of VPA to total physical activity was associated with lower all-cause mortality but not with cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality. For instance, compared with participants with 0% of VPA (no vigorous activity), participants performing greater than 50% to 75% of VPA to total physical activity had a 17% lower all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.78-0.88), independent of total MVPA. The inverse association between proportion of VPA to total physical activity and all-cause mortality was consistent across sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle risk factors, and chronic conditions at baseline. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This study suggests that, for the same volume of MVPA, a higher proportion of VPA to total physical activity was associated with lower all-cause mortality. Clinicians and public health interventions should recommend 150 minutes or more per week of MVPA but also advise on the potential benefits associated with VPA to maximize population health.

25. Chemical Composition Changes during the Commercial Entrained-Flow General Electric and Gaskombinat Schwarze Pumpe Coal Gasification Processes

Author: Wang, Yafeng, Tang, Yuegang, Huan, Binbin, Guo, Xin, and Finkelman, Robert B.
Abstract: The chemistry of the feed coals and coal gasification residues derived from the commercial entrained-flow General Electric (GE) and Gaskombinat Schwarze Pumpe (GSP) coal gasification plants in China was investigated by proximate and ultimate and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer analyses. The chemical compositions of the feed coals and gasification residues derived from the commercial GE and GSP coal gasification plants provided an understanding of the behaviors of the chemical components during entrained-flow coal gasification. The fate of chemical compositions during the commercial entrained-flow coal gasification was evaluated through systematic sampling and chemical analyses. Although the feed coals used in the GE and GSP coal gasification plants were generally similar in properties, the coal gasification residue ashes derived from the GSP gasification were more heterogeneous than those from the GE gasification. However, more proportions of carbon in the feed coal were converted during the GSP coal gasification according to the unreacted carbon contents in the gasification residues indicated by the loss on ignition value. Si and Al were stable in both the GE and GSP gasification processes, while Mg, Na, and P tended to be more volatile. However, the ashes of the GE coal gasification residues and GSP coal gasification residues were respectively ferricalsialic and calsialic, as was mainly determined by the properties of the feed coals instead of the gasification technology. A comparison to previous research showed that the GE and GSP coal gasification residues have a potential for carbon recovery and being used as the raw materials of inorganic materials such as geopolymers.

26. Dimeric lipo-α/sulfono-γ-AA hybrid peptides as broad-spectrum antibiotic agentsElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/d0bm01955k

Author: Wei, Lulu, Gao, Ruixuan, Wang, Minghui, Wang, Yafeng, Shi, Yan, Gu, Meng, and Cai, Jianfeng
Abstract: There is an urgent need to develop novel antibiotic agents that can combat emerging drug resistance. Herein, we report the design and investigation of a class of short dimeric antimicrobial lipo-α/sulfono-γ-AA hybrid peptides. Some of these peptides exhibit potent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity toward both clinically related Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The TEM study suggests that these hybrid peptides can compromise bacterial membranes and lead to bacterial death. Membrane depolarization and fluorescence microscopy studies also indicate that the mechanism of action is analogous to host-defense peptides (HDPs). Furthermore, the lead compound shows the ability to effectively inhibit biofilms formed from MRSA and E. coli. Further development of the short dimeric lipo-α/sulfono-γ-AA hybrid peptides may lead to a new generation of antimicrobial biomaterials to combat drug resistance.

Abstract: Rigorous analysis of levels and trends in exposure to leading risk factors and quantification of their effect on human health are important to identify where public health is making progress and in which cases current efforts are inadequate. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 provides a standardised and comprehensive assessment of the magnitude of risk factor exposure, relative risk, and attributable burden of disease.

Abstract: In an era of shifting global agendas and expanded emphasis on non-communicable diseases and injuries along with communicable diseases, sound evidence on trends by cause at the national level is essential. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment of published, publicly available, and contributed data on incidence, prevalence, and mortality for a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive list of diseases and injuries.

30. Difference between grid connections of large-scale wind power and conventional synchronous generation

Author: Li, Jie, Liu, Chao, Zhang, Pengfei, Wang, Yafeng, and Rong, Jun
Abstract: In China, regions with abundant wind energy resources are generally located at the end of power grids. The power grid architecture in these regions is typically not sufficiently strong, and the energy structure is relatively simple. Thus, connecting large-capacity wind power units complicates the peak load regulation and stable operation of the power grids in these regions. Most wind turbines use power electronic converter technology, which affects the safety and stability of the power grid differently compared with conventional synchronous generators. Furthermore, fluctuations in wind power cause fluctuations in the output of wind farms, making it difficult to create and implement suitable power generation plans for wind farms. The generation technology and grid connection scheme for wind power and conventional thermal power generation differ considerably. Moreover, the active and reactive power control abilities of wind turbines are weaker than those of thermal power units, necessitating additional equipment to control wind turbines. Hence, to address the aforementioned issues with large-scale wind power generation, this study analyzes the differences between the grid connection and collection strategies for wind power bases and thermal power plants. Based on this analysis, the differences in the power control modes of wind power and thermal power are further investigated. Finally, the stability of different control modes is analyzed through simulation. The findings can be beneficial for the planning and development of large-scale wind power generation farms.

Abstract: Across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), one in ten deaths in children younger than 5 years is attributable to diarrhoea. The substantial between-country variation in both diarrhoea incidence and mortality is attributable to interventions that protect children, prevent infection, and treat disease. Identifying subnational regions with the highest burden and mapping associated risk factors can aid in reducing preventable childhood diarrhoea.

32. Electrochemiluminescence Self-Interference Spectroscopy with Vertical Nanoscale Resolution

Author: Wang, Yafeng, Guo, Weiliang, Yang, Qian, and Su, Bin
Abstract: Here we report an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) self-interference spectroscopy technique (designated as ECLIS) with spatial resolution in the normal direction of the electrode surface. Self-interference principally originates from the superposition of ECL emitted directly by luminophores and that reflected from electrode surfaces, resulting in a spectrum consisting of orderly distributed peaks. On the basis of this spectrum and theoretical analysis by the matrix propagation model, the distance between luminophores and the electrode surface can be probed with a vertical resolution on the nanometer scale. We demonstrated first in this work that the height of ECL luminophores assembled on the electrode surface using different molecular linkers, such as double-stranded DNA, could be determined, as well as the possible conformation of linker molecules at the surface. Moreover, the thickness of the ECL emitting layer adjacent to the electrode surface was estimated for the classical coreactant ECL systems involving freely diffusing Ru(bpy)32+and tri-n-propylamine in solutions. The thickness was found to vary from ∼350 nm to nearly 1 μm depending on the concentration of Ru(bpy)32+. We believe that ECLIS with a high vertical resolution will provide an easy way to collect molecular conformation information and study ECL reaction mechanisms at electrode interfaces.

33. A decoding method based on RNN for OvTDM

Author: Hu, Yue, Wang, Yafeng, and Wang, Haocheng
Abstract: Overlapped X domain multiplexing (OvXDM) is a promising encoding technique to obtain high spectral efficiency by utilizing Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). However, the computational complexity of Maximum Likelihood Sequence Detection (MLSD) increases exponentially with the growth of spectral efficiency in OvXDM, which is unbearable for practical implementations. This paper proposes an OvTDM decoding method based on Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to realize fast decoding of OvTDM system, which has lower decoding complexity than the traditional fast decoding method. The paper derives the mathematical model of the OvTDM decoder based on RNN and constructs the decoder model. And we compare the performance of the proposed decoding method with the MLSD algorithm and the Fano algorithm. It's verified that the proposed decoding method exhibits a higher performance than the traditional fast decoding algorithm, especially for the scenarios of a high overlapped multiplexing coefficient.

34. Bidirectional Viterbi decoding algorithm for OvTDM

Author: Wang, Haocheng, Wang, Yafeng, and Hu, Yue
Abstract: Overlapped time domain multiplexing (OvTDM) is an innovative encoding scheme that can obtain high spectral efficiency. However, the intentional inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by OvTDM will make the decoding process more complex. The computational complexity of maximum likelihood sequence detection increases exponentially with the growth of spectral efficiency in OvTDM. As a consequence of high complexity, the decoding effort for a given spectral efficiency may occasionally exceed the physical limitations of the decoder, leading inevitably to buffer overflows and information erasures. In this paper, we propose a bidirectional Viterbi algorithm (BVA) based on the bidirectional sequence decoding for OvTDM. With the BVA, the decoding operation starts simultaneously from the both ends of the corresponding trellis and stops at the middle of trellis. The simulation results show that compared with Viterbi algorithm (VA), the decoding time of BVA can be reduced by about half. And the memory space of two decoders in BVA are about half of that in VA, which means that the BVA has lower memory requirements for decoder. And the decoding performance of BVA is almost the same as VA.

36. Evolution of microstructure and properties of CuCr50 alloy prepared by liquid phase sintering coupled with complementary copper infiltration

Author: He, Xiaorui, Han, Jin-ru, Li, Qiang, Zhou, Junqiang, Liu, Wei, Zhang, Hongjun, Yang, Weiwei, Wang, Yafeng, and Wang, Haihong
Abstract: CuCr alloy has become the preferred contact material in the field of environmental protection vacuum switches because of its good mechanical and electrical properties, and the development of preparation technology of highly dense and homogeneous CuCr alloy has become one of its research directions. In this paper, the concepts of liquid phase sintering and complementary copper infiltration are coupled to prepare CuCr50 alloys, which are subjected to secondary treatment using solid solution as well as aging heat treatments, to observe the evolution of the microstructure and properties of CuCr50 alloys. It is found that CuCr50 alloy can be prepared stably by liquid phase sintering coupled with complementary copper infiltration. The average particle size of the Cr-rich phase in CuCr50 alloy is 48.9 μm after liquid phase sintering, solid solution treatment and aging treatment, and the uniformity of the distribution of the Cr-rich phase is improved compared with the billet and sintered state. At this time, the density of the CuCr50 alloy is 7.94 g·cm−3, the electrical conductivity is 22.77 MS·m−1, and the hardness reaches 113.2 HB. Compared with the requirements in the national standard GB/T 26867-2011, the density, conductivity, and hardness are increased by 0.51%, 42.3%, and 41.5%, respectively. The peak of the density of states at energies around −5 eV on the total density of states diagram is contributed by the superposition of the 3d orbitals of Cu and the 3d orbitals of Cr, which is a reason for the stable existence of the CuCr50 alloy.

37. Synergy of oxygen vacancies, Lewis acid sites, and interfacial chemical bonds on ZnSnO3/AgI for photodegradation of tetracycline

Author: Sun, Jing, Chang, Ting, Liu, Qian, Wang, Zhuoyue, Huo, Xiaoqi, Li, Meifeng, Wang, Yafeng, Zhao, Zhilei, Zhao, Xin, Wang, TingXin, and Liu, Jue
Abstract: Chemically bonded Z-scheme ZnSnO3/AgI composites rich in oxygen vacancies (OVs) and Lewis acid sites were prepared successfully and showed excellent photocatalytic activities. Especially, ZnAg-2 degraded 96.1% tetracycline under visible light irradiation for 15min. OVs contributed to Lewis acid sites production and interfacial chemical bonds formation through weakening the metal−O bonding. Lewis acid sites favored the adsorption of electron-rich tetracycline. Interfacial chemical bonds together with Z-scheme structure accelerated electron transfer and retained the high redox ability of ZnSnO3and AgI. OVs contributed to singlet oxygen (1O2) production through facilitating the energy transfer from triplet exciton to O2. ZnSnO3/AgI composites possess good reusability and show great practical application potential. Based on ROSs generation and photoreduction experiment, the photocatalytic mechanism of the ZnAg composites was proposed. The possible degradation pathway was deduced and the biological toxicity was evaluated based on detected degradation intermediates. This work highlights the significant roles of OVs, Lewis acid sites, and chemical bonding in improving the photocatalytic activity of Z-scheme composites and provides new insight into designing high efficient photocatalysts.

38. Electrochemical Lateral Flow Immunoassay with Built-In Electrodes for Ultrasensitive and Wireless Detection of Inflammatory Biomarkers

Author: Ying, Xudong, Fu, Wenxuan, Zhu, Lihang, Sun, Tao, Qi, Min, Zhou, Lin, Wang, Yafeng, Wang, Jing, Su, Bin, and Zhang, Jun
Abstract: Paper-based lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) are cost-effective, portable, and simple methods for detection of diverse analytes, which however only provide qualitative or semiquantitative results and lack sufficient sensitivity. A combination of LFIA and electrochemical detection, namely, electrochemical lateral flow immunoassay (eLFIA), enables quantitative detection of analytes with high sensitivity, but the integration of external electrodes makes the system relatively expensive and unstable. Herein, the working, counter, and reference electrodes were prepared directly on the nitrocellulose membrane using screen printing, which remarkably simplified the structure of eLFIA and decreased the cost. Moreover, a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based electrochemical signal amplification strategy was used for further increasing the analytical sensitivity. HRP captured on the working electrode can catalyze the oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to form the TMB-TMBoxprecipitate on the electrode surface, which as an electrochemically active product can output an amplified current for quantification. We demonstrated that the eLFIA could detect low-abundant inflammatory biomarkers in human plasma samples with limits of detection of 0.17 and 0.54 pg mL–1for interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein, respectively. Finally, a fully portable system was fabricated by integrating eLFIA with a flexible and wireless electrochemical workstation, realizing the point-of-care detection of interleukin-6.

Abstract: Since 2000, many countries have achieved considerable success in improving child survival, but localized progress remains unclear. To inform efforts towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3.2—to end preventable child deaths by 2030—we need consistently estimated data at the subnational level regarding child mortality rates and trends. Here we quantified, for the period 2000–2017, the subnational variation in mortality rates and number of deaths of neonates, infants and children under 5 years of age within 99 low- and middle-income countries using a geostatistical survival model. We estimated that 32% of children under 5 in these countries lived in districts that had attained rates of 25 or fewer child deaths per 1,000 live births by 2017, and that 58% of child deaths between 2000 and 2017 in these countries could have been averted in the absence of geographical inequality. This study enables the identification of high-mortality clusters, patterns of progress and geographical inequalities to inform appropriate investments and implementations that will help to improve the health of all populations.

40. Detection of engineered nanoparticles in aquatic environments: current status and challenges in enrichment, separation, and analysis

Author: Zhang, Ming, Yang, Junhan, Cai, Zhongxia, Feng, Yudong, Wang, Yafeng, Zhang, Daoyong, and Pan, Xiangliang
Abstract: There is an ever-increasing amount of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) released into aquatic environments due to human activities. The sophisticated and accurate detection of ENPs is imperative to assess the threat of ENPs to the environment and human health, as well as to establish the benchmarks for controlling ENP discharge. The present review aims at summarizing and evaluating the current situation of ENP detection in water systems. Attention has been focused on the development of ENP detection processes and technologies. Given their extremely small size, low mass concentration, high activities, and complex coexisting components in the environmental matrixes, the online or in situanalysis of aquatic ENPs is proposed to be achieved viaenrichment–separation–detection. Multiple ENP enrichment methods have been adopted, including coagulation, flotation, filtration (membrane processes), and extraction, followed by microfluidic separation and sorting. The enriched ENPs are then qualitatively and/or quantitatively measured under controlled conditions (by microfluidic devices) in terms of size (viananoparticle tracking analysis, NTA), concentration (viaNTA, inductively coupled plasma mass or Raman spectrometry), and species (viaelectrochemical and fluorogenic methods). In spite of the technical development, most of the research is carried out in a laboratory or on the bench scale. The lack of online and in situmeasurement systems, as well as the implementation in different worldwide regions, have led to the unavailability of a single database of aquatic ENPs.

Abstract: How long one lives, how many years of life are spent in good and poor health, and how the population's state of health and leading causes of disability change over time all have implications for policy, planning, and provision of services. We comparatively assessed the patterns and trends of healthy life expectancy (HALE), which quantifies the number of years of life expected to be lived in good health, and the complementary measure of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), a composite measure of disease burden capturing both premature mortality and prevalence and severity of ill health, for 359 diseases and injuries for 195 countries and territories over the past 28 years.

Abstract: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 (GBD 2017) includes a comprehensive assessment of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for 354 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2017. Previous GBD studies have shown how the decline of mortality rates from 1990 to 2016 has led to an increase in life expectancy, an ageing global population, and an expansion of the non-fatal burden of disease and injury. These studies have also shown how a substantial portion of the world's population experiences non-fatal health loss with considerable heterogeneity among different causes, locations, ages, and sexes. Ongoing objectives of the GBD study include increasing the level of estimation detail, improving analytical strategies, and increasing the amount of high-quality data.

Abstract: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 comparative risk assessment (CRA) is a comprehensive approach to risk factor quantification that offers a useful tool for synthesising evidence on risks and risk–outcome associations. With each annual GBD study, we update the GBD CRA to incorporate improved methods, new risks and risk–outcome pairs, and new data on risk exposure levels and risk–outcome associations.

45. Silica-Nanochannel-Based Interferometric Sensor for Selective Detection of Polar and Aromatic Volatile Organic Compounds

Author: Wang, Yafeng, Yang, Qian, Zhao, Meijiao, Wu, Jianmin, and Su, Bin
Abstract: Public awareness of the toxicity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has led to increased requirements for direct measurement of these substances. This work reports the sensitive detection of VOCs at the ppb level by an interferometric sensor based on the multilayer silica-nanochannel membrane (MSNM). The MSNM is fabricated by layer-by-layer stacking of a free-standing ultrathin SNM composed of regularly ordered channels with an ultrasmall diameter of about 2.3 nm and an ultrahigh density of about 4 × 1012cm–2. Light reflected from parallel interfaces of the MSNM gives rise to the interferometric pattern with constructive and destructive fringes. The adsorption of VOCs to a highly porous MSNM varies the refractive index of the MSNM, resulting in the shift of the reflectometric interference spectrum (RIS) and thus yielding highly sensitive responses with a limit of detection (LOD) at the ppb level. Moreover, the sensor selectively responds to polar ethanol and acetone, as well as aromatic benzene, toluene, and chlorobenzene, but is insensitive to nonpolar ethane or hexane. The selectivity most likely arises from hydrogen bonding and dipole interaction of VOCs with silica surface.

46. Effects of the antiretroviral drug 2'-deoxy-2'-β-fluoro-4'-azidocytidine (FNC) on P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP expressions and functions

Author: Liu, Yixian, Wang, Yafeng, Peng, Youmei, Liu, Bingjie, Ma, Fang, Jiang, Jinhua, Wang, Qingduan, and Chang, Junbiao
Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to dig into recent studies designed to characterize the impacts of 2'-deoxy-2'-β-fluoro-4'-azidocytidine (FNC) on P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Specifically, the modulation effects of FNC on P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP protein expressions were assessed by western blot methods. 5 (and 6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichloroflourescein (CDF) and BODIPY-prazosin were used to provide indications of alterations of MRP2 and BCRP activities. The effects of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP on FNC were evaluated in thein situ single-pass intestinal perfusion model. The results showed that FNC at higher concentrations and with longer incubation times can upregulate the protein expression of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP in Caco-2 cells. The upregulated proteins were also functionally active, as revealed by a lower degree of CDF and BODIPY-prazosin uptake by the cell monolayers. The intestinal absorptive coefficient (Peff) was observed to significantly increase with the inhibitors of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP. These results suggested that FNC could modulate the expressions and functions of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP, while P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP were involved in the efflux transport of FNC. The inductive effects of FNC on P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP suggested the possibility of FNC to contribute to the inter- and intra-individual variability of itself, as well as to alter the absorption of other drugs that may be administered concomitantly.

Abstract: A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality health care. Examining where gains have occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries is crucial to guiding decisions and strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) to assess personal health-care access and quality with the Healthcare Access and Quality (HAQ) Index for 195 countries and territories, as well as subnational locations in seven countries, from 1990 to 2016.

48. Multi-bit sliding stack decoding algorithm for OVXDM

Author: Lin, Peng, Wang, Yafeng, and Li, Daoben
Abstract: Overlapped x domain multiplexing (OVXDM) is a promising encoding technique to obtain high spectral efficiency by utilizing inter-symbol interference (ISI) intelligently. However, the computational complexity of maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD) increases exponentially with the growth of spectral efficiency in OVXDM, which is unbearable for practical implementations. In this paper, based on a novel path metric associating adjacent symbols, we propose a multi-bit sliding stack decoding (Multi-Bit SSD) algorithm to achieve multiple-bit decoding simultaneously in OVXDM. Theoretical analysis is provided for the algorithm, which indicates the relationship between the performance and parameters including multiplexing waveform, overlapping fold and sliding window size. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve better decoding performance and higher spectral efficiency than conventional fast decoding algorithms.

49. Leachability of Hazardous Trace Elements from Entrained-Flow Coal Gasification Residues in Ningdong, China

Author: Tang, Yuegang, Wang, Yafeng, Huan, Binbin, Guo, Xin, and Finkelman, Robert B.
Abstract: Based on the Solid Waste-Extraction Procedure for Leaching Toxicity (Chinese method HJ/T299-2007), the mobility of hazardous trace elements Be, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Sb, Ba, Tl, Pb, U, and Hg in coal gasification residues and feed coal collected from a coal gasification plant in Ningdong, China, was evaluated to assess the potential hazard of these solid wastes when disposed. The major and trace element contents of the coal gasification residues and feed coals and the trace element concentrations of leachates were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence, atomic fluorescence spectrometry, and inductively couple plasma mass spectrometry. The volatile trace elements As, Se, Cd, Sb, Tl, and Pb tend to be enriched in fine residues with a smaller particle size and larger specific surface areas. Except for Hg, the other 15 hazardous trace elements are mobile to some extent in leaching solutions of pH 3.2 and 7.1. Because of the fixation by the glassy matrix and low liquid–solid ratio, the hazardous trace elements in the coal gasification residues have low extracted fractions. The leached Ba concentration is the highest, with a maximum leached concentration at 150 μg/L. Molybdenum is the most mobile of all 16 elements with 27.35% leached. Governed by geochemical properties and modes of occurrence for the elements in the residues, the concentration trends of As, Mo, Cd, Sb, Co, and Tl in the leachates are consistent, and their leached concentrations are in line with their concentration in the residues. The coal gasification residue samples generally do not present a leaching toxicity hazard. However, in some cases, the leached concentrations of Be, Mo, and Ba exceed the limitation of the secondary groundwater standards in China, and the leached Sb and Tl exceed the maximum contaminant level of primary drinking water in the U.S. However, the Sb concentration in the pH 3.2 leachate is 3 orders of magnitude higher than its general level in groundwater.
