This paper examines the impact of media communication on the stock market in the context of the digital age, particularly its role in stock price volatility. With the significant increase in the speed, breadth and depth of media communication, the efficiency of stock market information transmission has been dramatically improved, significantly impacting stock price volatility. The article first explores the specific impact of media coverage characteristics and methods on stock price volatility by quantitatively analyzing media coverage’s breadth, manner and content. Then, the article utilizes multiple linear regression models to deeply explore the impact of various news texts on stock price volatility in different reporting modes (e.g., live reporting, television, and text reporting) in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. The findings show a significant association between the breadth of media coverage and stock prices at the 1% significance level. In addition, the regression coefficients of content and manner of coverage on stock price changes are 0.096 and 0.229, respectively, which are both significant at the 5% significance level. The research results of this paper not only reveal the close relationship between media communication and stock market volatility and provide theoretical support for predicting dramatic stock market volatility, which helps to promote the construction of a healthy and orderly capital market order.

The robot-based automatic power grid defect elimination device represents the future direction of power grid inspection and defect elimination devices. However, the presence of strong electromagnetic interference in the vicinity of power grids poses potential risks to the application of automatic defect elimination devices. This study initially conducts theoretical analysis and calculations to analyse the spatial distribution of electromagnetic fields around 220kV 100MW high-voltage lines in a power grid. The results indicate that electric field intensity can exceed 70kV/m in areas near these high-voltage lines. Subsequently, electromagnetic fields within the operational range of the elimination device are simulated and analysed, leading to selection and optimization of shielding materials and structures. When non-metallic insulating materials are used, equipment is fully exposed to the power grid’s electromagnetic field, making internal devices susceptible to interference; however, employing metal aluminum materials achieves better shielding effects. A continuous metal shielding layer effectively shields against electric fields, while openings or gaps in the shell lead to deteriorated shielding performance. These findings demonstrate that appropriate selection of shielding materials and suitable structural design are crucial factors for achieving excellent shielding effects. To ensure both safety and efficient electromagnetic shielding, a multi-layer composite shielding structure is necessary for power grid elimination devices. Overall, these analysis results provide valuable guidance for designing, operating, and maintaining such devices.

Endometrium fibrosis is the leading cause of uterine infertility. Macrophages participated in the occurrence and development of endometrial fibrosis. We previously reported that human umbilical cord multipotent stromal cells (hUC-MSCs) exerted their therapeutic effect in a macrophage-dependent manner in endometrial fibrosis. However precise mechanisms by which hUC-MSCs may influence macrophages in endometrial fibrosis remain largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrated that abnormal iron and lipid metabolism occurred in patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and murine models. Ferroptosis has been proven to contribute to the progression of fibrotic diseases. Our results revealed that pharmacological activation of ferroptosis by Erastin aggravated endometrial fibrosis, while inhibition of ferroptosis by Ferrostatin-1 ameliorated endometrial fibrosis in vivo. Moreover, ferroptosis of macrophages was significantly upregulated in endometria of IUA murine models. Of note, transcriptome profiles revealed that CD36 gene expression was significantly increased in patients with IUA and immunofluorescence analysis showed CD36 protein was mainly located in macrophages. Silencing CD36 in macrophages could reverse cell ferroptosis. Dual luciferase reporter assay revealed that CD36 was the direct target of activation transcription factor 3 (ATF3). Furthermore, through establishing coculture system and IUA murine models, we found that hUC-MSCs had a protective role against macrophage ferroptosis and alleviated endometrial fibrosis related to decreased CD36 and ATF3. The effect of hUC-MSCs on macrophage ferroptosis was attributed to the upregulation of amphiregulin (AREG). Our data highlighted that macrophage ferroptosis occurred in endometrial fibrosis via the ATF3-CD36 pathway and hUC-MSCs protected against macrophage ferroptosis to alleviate endometrial fibrosis via secreting AREG. These findings provided a potential target for therapeutic implications of endometrial fibrosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pyrolysis is a promising disposal method for municipal solid waste (MSW) due to the high-value utilization of the organic components of MSW. Traditional indirect heating has low heat transfer efficiency and requires an increase in the heat exchange area. In this study, a refined numerical simulation model for the pyrolysis of four typical MSW components with high-temperature flue gas was established to study the influence of flue gas on the heat transfer and reaction characteristics of MSW. The temperature distribution and particle size change in different components were obtained, and the effects of flue gas temperature and velocity on the pyrolysis process were analyzed. It was found that the temperature difference of the four components along the bed height direction was about 1.36–1.81 K/mm, and the energy efficiency was about 55–61%. When the four components were uniformly mixed, the temperature increase rates of each component were similar during the pyrolysis process. As the flue gas temperature increased, the amount of gas consumption decreased and the energy efficiency increased. When the flue gas velocity increased, the flue gas consumption increased and the energy efficiency decreased. The research results are of great significance for the promotion and application of pyrolysis technology to MSW with high-temperature flue gas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The traditional RSA information encryption algorithm uses one-dimensional chaotic equations to generate pseudo-random sequences that meet the encryption requirements. This encryption method is too simple and the security performance is poor. A multi-level encryption algorithm for user-related information across social networks is proposed, and a user association model across social networks is constructed to obtain user-related information across social networks. This multi-level chaotic encryption algorithm based on neural network is used to select three different chaotic mapping models based on user-related information, and a multi-level chaotic encryption algorithm is designed. According to the characteristics of error sensitivity of chaotic system, the neural network is used to inversely propagate the error. A chaotic encryption algorithm that implements multi-level encryption of user-related information across social networks is optimized. The experimental results show that the average rate for which the proposed algorithm correctly identified the user-related information across social networks was 97.6%, the highest frequency of average character distribution probability in cipher text was 0.021, and the average time for encryption was 18.45 Mbps. The average time for decryption was 21.90Mbps.

In view of problems of redundant search point and poor real-time performance when encountering sudden threat existed in application of traditional algorithm in route planning of unmanned aerial vehicle in environment detection for post-disaster underground, a reverse variable weight sparse algorithm was proposed. According to performance constraint of unmanned aerial vehicle and threat model in post-disaster underground, global static route planning is carried out from target point to start point, so as to avoid a large number of invalid searches. Different weight coefficients are set according to mission requirement of unmanned aerial vehicle, so as to obtain route focuses on distance or safety. Only the path covered by sudden threat is corrected by introducing sub-target point strategy, so as to avoid sudden threat effectively in short time. The simulation results show that the algorithm used in route planning can save time of route planning and reduce threat to unmanned aerial vehicle, which can effectively guarantee real-time performance and safety of route planning.

The simulation results show that the algorithm reduces energy consumption of node in routing process and extends running time of the network.

Rational heterointerface engineering is crucial for superior and robust hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, a delicate organic‐inorganic hybrid heterojunction based on the assembly of oxalate with polyaniline (PANI) for HER at high‐current‐densities is envisioned. Strong π–d electron coupling is achieved between the delocalized π electrons of PANI and the localized d electrons of oxalate metal sites. The CoC2O4 nanosheets are grown on nickel foam (NF) with Ni2+ ions substitution by the precursor etching. By virtue of the synergy of hetero ions and π–d electron coupling, metal sites obtain sufficient exposure and electronic structure optimization. Surprisingly, the phase transition of oxalate during HER in the alkaline environment does not weaken the π–d electronic coupling of the organic‐inorganic hybrid interfaces. Inheritable interfacial electron interaction provides a reliable guarantee for robust stability at high‐current‐densities while endowing the hybrid materials with extremely low overpotentials. As expected, post‐phase reconstructed Co0.59Ni0.41(OH)2@PANI/NF displays impressive HER activity, with a low overpotential of 43 mV@−10 mA cm−2 and robust stability at −1000 mA cm−2 for 30 h in the alkaline environment. This study sheds light on the rational heterostructure interface design and promotes the architecture of an impressive electrocatalysts system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
