文摘This article presents a new synergistic extraction system composed of Cyanex 272(C272,bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid)and iso-octanol for Sc_(3+) separation.The proposed synergistic system possessed an Sc^(3+) extraction efficiency of 93.5%and a back-extraction efficiency of 82.7%,with selectivity coefficients of β_(Sc/Fe)=459 and β_(Sc/Al)=4241,which are considerably higher as compared to the current extraction systems.The extraction mechanism was studied and interpreted.The enhanced extraction efficiency is attributed to the increased hydrophobicity of the ternary complex,whereas the back-extraction efficiency can be ascribed to the attenuated stability of the complex.C272 and C272–iso-octanol systems also possess considerable surface activity,which is beneficial for the phase separation in solvent extraction.Based on the solvent extraction results,a preliminary study was conducted on polymer inclusion membranes(PIMs)using the binary system for Sc^(3+) separation to avoid the formation of the third phase,achieving an optimal initial flux of PIM of 6.71×10^(−4)mol·m^(−2)·h^(−1).Our results provide valuable information on highly efficient Sc^(3+) separation,and the study on PIM extraction has shown a green alternative to solvent extraction.

文摘Deep learning has made significant progress in the field of oriented object detection for remote sensing images.However,existing methods still face challenges when dealing with difficult tasks such as multi-scale targets,complex backgrounds,and small objects in remote sensing.Maintaining model lightweight to address resource constraints in remote sensing scenarios while improving task completion for remote sensing tasks remains a research hotspot.Therefore,we propose an enhanced multi-scale feature extraction lightweight network EM-YOLO based on the YOLOv8s architecture,specifically optimized for the characteristics of large target scale variations,diverse orientations,and numerous small objects in remote sensing images.Our innovations lie in two main aspects:First,a dynamic snake convolution(DSC)is introduced into the backbone network to enhance the model’s feature extraction capability for oriented targets.Second,an innovative focusing-diffusion module is designed in the feature fusion neck to effectively integrate multi-scale feature information.Finally,we introduce Layer-Adaptive Sparsity for magnitude-based Pruning(LASP)method to perform lightweight network pruning to better complete tasks in resource-constrained scenarios.Experimental results on the lightweight platform Orin demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the original YOLOv8s model in oriented remote sensing object detection tasks,and achieves comparable or superior performance to state-of-the-art methods on three authoritative remote sensing datasets(DOTA v1.0,DOTA v1.5,and HRSC2016).

文摘The extraction of uranium from seawater via membrane adsorption is a promising strategy for ensuring a long-term supply of uranium and the sustainability of nuclear energy.However,this approach has been hindered by the longstanding challenge of identifying sustainable membrane materials.In response,we propose a prototypal hybridization strategy to design a novel series of aminated conjugated microporous polymer(CMPN)@collagen fiber membrane(COLM).These sustainable and low-cost membrane materials allow a rapid and high-affinity kinetic to capture 90%of the uranium in just 30 min from 50 ppm with a high selectivity of Kd>105 mL·g^(−1).They also afford a robustly reusable adsorption capacity as high as 345 mg·g^(−1)that could harvest 1.61 mg·g^(−1)of uranium in a short 7-day real marine engineering in Fujian Province,even though suffered from very low uranium concentration of 3.29μg·L^(−1)and tough influence of salts such as 10.77 g·L^(−1)of Na^(+),1.75μg·L^(−1)of VO_(3)^(−)etc.in the rough seas.The structural evidence from both experimental and theoretical studies confirmed the formation of favorable chelating motifs from the amino group on CMPN-COLM,and the intensification by the synergistic effect from the size-sieving action of CMPN and the capillary inflow effect of COLM.

文摘To ease the scarcity of lithium(Li)resource and cut down on environmental pollution,an efficient,selective,inexpensive and sustainable Li recycling process from waste batteries is needed,which is yet to be achieved.Here,we report a low-potential photoelectrochemical(PEC)system that selectively and efficiently extracts Li metals from multi-cation electrolytes under 1 sun illumination.Based on the difference of redox potential,we can get rid of the disturbance of other cations(i.e.,Fe,Co and Ni ions)by a bias-free PEC device to realize the extraction of high-purity Li metals on a coplanar Si-based photocathode-TiO_(2) photoanode tandem device at 2 V of applied bias(far less than the redox potentials of Li^(+)/Li).In such system,the extraction rate of Li metals(purity>99.5%)exceeds 1.35 g h^(-1)m^(-2)with 90%of Faradaic efficiency.Long-term experiments,different electrode/electrolyte tests,and various price assessments further demonstrate the stability,compatibility and economy of PEC extraction system,enabling a solar-driven pathway for the recycling of critical metal resources.

文摘As a key low-carbon energy source,nuclear power plays a vital role in the global transition toward sustainable energy.Photocatalytic uranium extraction from seawater(UES)offers a promising solution to ensure long-term uranium supply but is challenged by ultra-low uranium concentrations and ion interference.To overcome these issues,we design three diketopyrrolopyrrole-based covalent organic frameworks(COFs)via a synergisticπ-extended lock and carboxyl-functionalized anchor molecular engineering strategy.Among them,TPy-DPP-COF features a covalently lockedπ-conjugated structure that enhances planarity,optimizes energy alignment,and minimizes exciton binding energy,thereby promoting charge transfer and suppressing recombination.Concurrently,carboxyl groups enable uranyl-specific coordination and create local electric fields to facilitate charge separation.These features contribute to the outstanding performance of TPy-DPP-COF,which achieves a high uranium adsorption capacity of 16.33 mg g−1 in natural seawater under irradiation,with only 29.3%capacity loss after 10 cycles,surpassing industrial benchmarks.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations and experimental studies reveal a synergistic photocatalysis-adsorption pathway,with DPP units acting as active sites for uranium reduction.This work highlights a molecular design strategy for developing efficient COF-based photocatalysts for practical marine uranium recovery.
文摘AIM:To investigate the long-term outcomes in acute primary angle closure(APAC)patients treated with lens extraction(LE)surgery and to identify risk factors for glaucomatous optic neuropathy(GON).METHODS:In this longitudinal observational study,detailed medical histories of APAC patients and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations at final followup were collected.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of blindness.Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to determine risk factors associated with visual outcomes.RESULTS:This study included 39 affected eyes of 31 subjects(26 females)with an average age of 74.1±8.0y.At 6.7±4.2y after APAC attack,2(5.7%)eyes had bestcorrected visual acuity(VA)worse than 3/60.Advanced glaucomatous visual field loss was observed in 15(39.5%)affected eyes and 5(25.0%)fellow eyes.Nine affected eyes(23.7%)had GON,and 11(28.9%)were blind.Six(15.4%)affected eyes and 2(9.1%)fellow eyes had suspicious progression.A significantly higher blindness rate in factory workers compared to office workers.Logistic regression identified that worse VA at attack(OR 10.568,95%CI 1.288-86.695;P=0.028)and worse early postoperative VA(OR 13.214,95%CI 1.157-150.881;P=0.038)were risk factors for blindness.Multivariate regression showed that longer duration of elevated intraocular pressure(P=0.004)and worse early postoperative VA(P=0.009)were associated with worse visual outcomes.CONCLUSION:Despite LE surgery,some APAC patients experience continued visual function deterioration.Lifelong monitoring is necessary.Target pressure and progression rates should be re-evaluated during follow-up.
文摘Since Google introduced the concept of Knowledge Graphs(KGs)in 2012,their construction technologies have evolved into a comprehensive methodological framework encompassing knowledge acquisition,extraction,representation,modeling,fusion,computation,and storage.Within this framework,knowledge extraction,as the core component,directly determines KG quality.In military domains,traditional manual curation models face efficiency constraints due to data fragmentation,complex knowledge architectures,and confidentiality protocols.Meanwhile,crowdsourced ontology construction approaches from general domains prove non-transferable,while human-crafted ontologies struggle with generalization deficiencies.To address these challenges,this study proposes an OntologyAware LLM Methodology for Military Domain Knowledge Extraction(LLM-KE).This approach leverages the deep semantic comprehension capabilities of Large Language Models(LLMs)to simulate human experts’cognitive processes in crowdsourced ontology construction,enabling automated extraction of military textual knowledge.It concurrently enhances knowledge processing efficiency and improves KG completeness.Empirical analysis demonstrates that this method effectively resolves scalability and dynamic adaptation challenges in military KG construction,establishing a novel technological pathway for advancing military intelligence development.

文摘Nuclear energy is critical not only to sustainable economic development but also to achieving peaking carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality[1].China is expected to host the world’s largest number of nuclear power plants in a few years.Uranium-235 serves as the primary fissile material for the fabrication of nuclear fuel.However,there are only about 6.14 million tons of uranium resources on land,which can sustain~70 years of operation for global nuclear power plants.Thereby,the recovery of uranium from spent fuel,radioactive waste solutions,seawater,and salt lakes is crucial for the healthy development of nuclear power utilization[2-4].
文摘As Satellite Frequency and Orbit(SFO)constitute scarce natural resources,constructing a Satellite Frequency and Orbit Knowledge Graph(SFO-KG)becomes crucial for optimizing their utilization.In the process of building the SFO-KG from Chinese unstructured data,extracting Chinese entity relations is the fundamental step.Although Relation Extraction(RE)methods in the English field have been extensively studied and developed earlier than their Chinese counterparts,their direct application to Chinese texts faces significant challenges due to linguistic distinctions such as unique grammar,pictographic characters,and prevalent polysemy.The absence of comprehensive reviews on Chinese RE research progress necessitates a systematic investigation.A thorough review of Chinese RE has been conducted from four methodological approaches:pipeline RE,joint entityrelation extraction,open domain RE,and multimodal RE techniques.In addition,we further analyze the essential research infrastructure,including specialized datasets,evaluation benchmarks,and competitions within Chinese RE research.Finally,the current research challenges and development trends in the field of Chinese RE were summarized and analyzed from the perspectives of ecological construction methods for datasets,open domain RE,N-ary RE,and RE based on large language models.This comprehensive review aims to facilitate SFO-KG construction and its practical applications in SFO resource management.

文摘In recent years,with the rapid development of deep learning technology,relational triplet extraction techniques have also achieved groundbreaking progress.Traditional pipeline models have certain limitations due to error propagation.To overcome the limitations of traditional pipeline models,recent research has focused on jointly modeling the two key subtasks-named entity recognition and relation extraction-within a unified framework.To support future research,this paper provides a comprehensive review of recently published studies in the field of relational triplet extraction.The review examines commonly used public datasets for relational triplet extraction techniques and systematically reviews current mainstream joint extraction methods,including joint decoding methods and parameter sharing methods,with joint decoding methods further divided into table filling,tagging,and sequence-to-sequence approaches.In addition,this paper also conducts small-scale replication experiments on models that have performed well in recent years for each method to verify the reproducibility of the code and to compare the performance of different models under uniform conditions.Each method has its own advantages in terms of model design,task handling,and application scenarios,but also faces challenges such as processing complex sentence structures,cross-sentence relation extraction,and adaptability in low-resource environments.Finally,this paper systematically summarizes each method and discusses the future development prospects of joint extraction of relational triples.

文摘Information extraction(IE)aims to automatically identify and extract information about specific interests from raw texts.Despite the abundance of solutions based on fine-tuning pretrained language models,IE in the context of fewshot and zero-shot scenarios remains highly challenging due to the scarcity of training data.Large language models(LLMs),on the other hand,can generalize well to unseen tasks with few-shot demonstrations or even zero-shot instructions and have demonstrated impressive ability for a wide range of natural language understanding or generation tasks.Nevertheless,it is unclear,whether such effectiveness can be replicated in the task of IE,where the target tasks involve specialized schema and quite abstractive entity or relation concepts.In this paper,we first examine the validity of LLMs in executing IE tasks with an established prompting strategy and further propose multiple types of augmented prompting methods,including the structured fundamental prompt(SFP),the structured interactive reasoning prompt(SIRP),and the voting-enabled structured interactive reasoning prompt(VESIRP).The experimental results demonstrate that while directly promotes inferior performance,the proposed augmented prompt methods significantly improve the extraction accuracy,achieving comparable or even better performance(e.g.,zero-shot FewNERD,FewNERD-INTRA)than state-of-theart methods that require large-scale training samples.This study represents a systematic exploration of employing instruction-following LLM for the task of IE.It not only establishes a performance benchmark for this novel paradigm but,more importantly,validates a practical technical pathway through the proposed prompt enhancement method,offering a viable solution for efficient IE in low-resource settings.

文摘This study details a comprehensive approach focusing on the effective separation of light rare earth elements(REEs)via solvent extraction technique.A stock solution containing lanthanum,cerium,neodymium,praseodymium,and samarium was prepared by dissolving their pure mixed oxide(reclaimed from spent Ni-MH batteries)in a diluted HCl solution.Key extractants,including bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid(Cyanex 272),Cyanex 572,trialkylphosphine oxide(Cyanex 923),and 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester(PC 88A),along with tributyl phosphate(TBP)as a phase modifier,were utilized to form organic systems.The extraction behavior and separability of these systems at various pH levels as well as their extraction mechanisms were investigated.The results demonstrated a direct relationship between the extraction trend and the experimental pH value,with enhanced selectivity when TBP was added.Notably,Nd and Pr exhibited similar extraction behaviors,with minor deviations from Ce,making their separation difficult to achieve.Sm extraction followed a distinct trend,allowing for its separation from other elements at pH≤2.In contrast,La exhibited a low affinity for coordination with extractants when pH was≤3.5,facilitating the separation of other elements from La,which could then be isolated in the raffinate.Among the studied organic systems,combinations of Cyanex 572 and PC 88A with TBP demonstrated superior performance in element separation.Optimum separation factors were calculated withβ_(Ce/La)=12,βNd/La=87,β_(Pr/La)=127,andβ_(Sm/La)=3191 for the former,andβ_(Sm/Ce)=54,β_(Sm/Nd)=20,andβ_(Sm/Pr)=14 for the latter.These findings provide valuable insights for selecting extraction systems and designing experiments for the effective solvent extraction separation of light REEs from their mixture.

文摘Simultaneous recovery of Ni and Co from Fe(Ⅲ)and AI is a critical challenge in hydrometallurgical processes.Recognized solvent extraction systems often struggle with selectivity and effective performance in mixed metal ion environments.Herein,a new synergistic solvent extraction(SSX)system comprised of a novel pyridine analog,N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)dodecan-1-amine(BPMDA),and dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid(DNNSA)with tributyl phosphate as phase modifier is introduced.The SSX system demonstrates high extraction performance achieving>90%for Ni and>97%for Co in a singlestage extraction process,with high selectivity.Under optimal conditions,the selectivity sequence is observed as Co^(2+)(>97%)>Ni^(2+)(>90%)>Mn^(2+)(<20%)>Fe^(3+)(<10%)>Mg^(2+)(<5%)>Al^(3+)(<2%)>Ca^(2+)(<1%).Spectroscopic analysis evidences the preferential binding of BPMDA with Ni and Co in the presence of DNNSA,concurrently achieving a significant reduction in the co-extraction of Fe(Ⅲ)and Al.The selective complexation of Ni and Co using the SSX system offers a highly efficient and selective approach for their extraction,with promising potential for applications in recovery-based processes.
文摘Elemental doping of BiVO_(4) crystal lattices effectively enhances carrier separation,thereby facilitating efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting.However,the positive effect of elementally induced lattice distortions on hole extraction has been neglected.Herein,the crystal lattice of BiVO_(4) is distorted by doping with an inexpensive Cs metal;then,CoFe_(2)O_(4) is used as an efficient hole-extraction layer to further modify the surface of the doped photoanode.Benefiting from the above design,the newly prepared CoFe_(2)O_(4)-Cs-BiVO_(4) photoanode achieved a photocurrent density of 5.66 mA cm^(–2) at 1.23 V vs.a reversible hydrogen electrode,indicating a 3.9-fold improvement in photocurrent density.Detailed physicochemical characterization and density functional theory calculations showed that the lattice distortion induced by Cs doping promoted the directional migration of BiVO_(4) bulk-phase holes to the CoFe_(2)O_(4) layer.Additionally,the coupled CoFe_(2)O_(4) can be used as a hole extraction layer to further enhance the interfacial migration of carriers.The synergistic effect of the two effectively promotes the directional migration of photogenerated carriers from the BiVO_(4) bulk phase to the active sites of the oxygen evolution reaction,thereby effectively inhibiting carrier recombination.This study revealed the positive effect of the dual-hole extraction strategy on solar energy conversion,thereby opening new avenues for the rational design of photoanodes.
