文摘This paper investigates ruin,capital injection,and dividends for a two-dimensional risk model.The model posits that surplus levels of insurance companies are governed by a perturbed composite Poisson risk model.This model introduces a dependence between the two surplus levels,present in both the associated perturbations and the claims resulting from common shocks.Critical levels of capital injection and dividends are established for each of the two risks.The surplus levels are observed discretely at fixed intervals,guiding decisions on capital injection,dividends,and ruin at these junctures.This study employs a two-dimensional Fourier cosine series expansion method to approximate the finite time expected discounted operating cost until ruin.The ensuing approximation error is also quantified.The validity and accuracy of the method are corroborated through numerical examples.Furthermore,the research delves into the optimal capital allocation problem.

文摘Human skin exhibits a remarkable capability to perceive contact forces and environmental temperatures,providing complex information that is essential for its subtle control.Despite recent advancements in soft tactile sensors,accurately decoupling signals—specifically separating forces from directional orientation and temperature—remains a challenge thus resulting in failure to meet the advanced application requirements of robots.This study proposes,F3T,a multilayer soft sensor unit designed to achieve isolated measurements and mathematical decoupling of normal pressure,omnidirectional tangential forces,and temperature.We developed a circular coaxial magnetic film featuring a floating mount multilayer capacitor that facilitated the physical decoupling of normal and tangential forces in all directions.Additionally,we incorporated an ion gel-based temperature-sensing film into the tactile sensor.The proposed sensor was resilient to external pressures and deformations,and could measure temperature and significantly eliminate capacitor errors induced by environmental temperature changes.In conclusion,our novel design allowed for the decoupled measurement of multiple signals,laying the foundation for advancements in high-level robotic motion control,autonomous decision-making,and task planning.

文摘Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries with high energy density and capacity have garnered significant research attention among various energy storage devices.However,the shuttle effect of polysulfides(LiPSs)remains a major challenge for their practical application.The design of battery separators has become a key aspect in addressing the challenge.MXenes,a promising two-dimensional(2D)material,offer exceptional conductivity,large surface area,high mechanical strength,and active sites for surface reactions.When assembled into layered films,MXenes form highly tunable two-dimensional channels ranging from a few angstroms to over 1 nm.These nanoconfined channels are instrumental in facilitating lithium-ion transport while effectively impeding the shuttle effect of LiPSs,which are essential for improving the specific capacity and cyclic stability of Li-S batteries.Substantial progress has been made in developing MXenes-based separators for Li-S batteries,yet there remains a research gap in summarizing advancements from the perspective of interlayer engineering.This entails maintaining the 2D nanochannels of layered MXenes-based separators while modulating the physicochemical environment within the MXenes interlayers through targeted modifications.This review highlights advancements in in situ modification of MXenes and their integration with 0D,1D,and 2D materials to construct laminated nanocomposite separators for Li-S batteries.The future development directions of MXenes-based materials in Li-S energy storage devices are also outlined,to drive further advancements in MXenes for Li-S battery separators.
文摘The elimination of the vertical tail in tailless aircraft results in a significant decrease in heading static stability,causing substantial coupling among the three control channels.In addition,in specific operational scenarios,the tailless aircraft is prone to electromagnetic interference,leading to the generation of high-frequency noise and consequently compromising their control performance.To address these issues,a decoupling control method based on a fractional-order error extended state observer(FOEESO)is proposed.A nonlinear model of a tailless aircraft with thrust vectoring capabilities is first developed.The decoupling control design for the three control channels is then implemented using FOEESO,with the asymptotic convergence conditions outlined.The proposed method is evaluated through simulations and compared to coupled control and linear extended state observer(LESO)techniques.Numerical simulations demonstrate that the FOEESO-based control methodology achieves effective decoupling,exhibiting 6.9%and 11.7%reductions in integral absolute error(IAE)relative to LESO under nominal operational conditions and critical fault scenarios,respectively.These improvements thereby highlight FOEESO’s capability to enhance closed-loop stability and tracking precision in tailless aircraft control systems.

文摘Planar positioning systems are widely utilized in micro and nano applications.The challenges in modeling and control of XYΘflexure-based mechanisms include hysteresis of the piezoelectric actuators,couplings among the input axes,and coupled linear and angular motions of the end effector.This paper presents an inverse hysteresis-coupling hybrid model to account for such hysteresis and couplings.First,a specially designed kinematic chain is adopted to transfer the pose of the end effector into the linear motions at three prismatic joints.Second,an inverse hysteresis-coupling hybrid model is developed to linearize and decouple the system via a multilayer feedforward neural network.A fractional-order PID controller is also integrated to improve the motion accuracy of the overall system.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately control the motion of the end effector with improved accuracy and robustness.

文摘Dynamical decoupling(DD),usually implemented by sophisticated sequences of instantaneous control pulses,is a well-established quantum control technique for quantum information and quantum sensing.In practice,the pulses are inevitably imperfect with many systematic errors that may influence the performances of DD.In particular,Rabi error and detuning are primary systemic errors arising from finite pulse duration,incorrect time control,and frequency instability.Here,we propose a phase-modulated DD with staggered global phases for the basic units of the pulse sequences to suppress these systemic errors.By varying the global phases appended to the pulses in the dynamical decoupling unit alternatively with 0 orπ,our protocol can significantly reduce the influences of Rabi error and detuning.Our protocol is general and can be combined with the most existing DD sequences such as universal DD,knill DD,XY,etc.As an example,we further apply our method to quantum lock-in detection for measuring time-dependent alternating signals.Our study paves the way for a simple and feasible way to realize robust dynamical decoupling sequences,which can be applicable for various quantum sensing scenarios.

文摘Exploring the factors driving the decoupling of China’s sulfur dioxide(SO_(2))emissions from economic growth(DEI)is crucial for achieving sustainable development.By analyzing the decoupling indicators and driving factors at both the generation and treatment stages of SO_(2),more effective targeted mitigation strategies can be developed.We employ the Tapio decoupling model and propose a two-stage method to examine the decoupling issues related to SO_(2).Our findings indicate that:①DEI shows a steady and significant improvement,with SO_(2)emission intensity identified as the primary driver.②for the decoupling of economic growth and SO_(2)generation,energy scale serves as the largest stimulator,while the effect of energy intensity changes from negative to positive,and pollution intensity is first positive and then negative.③For the decoupling of SO_(2)generation and SO_(2)removal,treatment efficiency leads as the largest promoter,followed by treatment intensity.Based on these results,this study recommends that China focuses more on enhancing clean energy utilization and the effectiveness of treatment processes.

文摘Titanium dioxide(TiO_(2))has been an important protective ingredient in mineral-based sunscreens since the 1990s.However,traditional TiO_(2)nanoparticle formulations have seen little improvement over the past decades and continue to face persistent challenges related to light transmission,biosafety,and visual appearance.Here,we report the discovery of two-dimensional(2D)TiO_(2),characterized by a micro-sized lateral dimension(~1.6μm)and atomic-scale thickness,which fundamentally resolves these long-standing issues.The 2D structure enables exceptional light management,achieving 80%visible light transparency—rendering it nearly invisible on the skin—while maintaining UV-blocking performance comparable to unmodified rutile TiO_(2)nanoparticles.Its larger lateral size results in a two-orders-of-magnitude reduction in skin penetration(0.96 w/w%),significantly enhancing biosafety.Moreover,the unique layered architecture inherently suppresses the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)under sunlight exposure,reducing the ROS generation rate by 50-fold compared to traditional TiO_(2)nanoparticles.Through precise metal element modulation,we further developed the first customizable sunscreen material capable of tuning UV protection ranges and automatically matching diverse skin tones.The 2D TiO_(2)offers a potentially transformative approach to modern sunscreen formulation,combining superior UV protection,enhanced safety and a natural appearance.

文摘The progress from intelligent interactions requires electronic skin(E-skin)to shift from single-functional perception to multisensory capabilities.However,the intuitive and interference-free reading of multiple sensory signals without involving complex algorithms is a critical challenge.Herein,we propose a flexible multisensory E-skin by developing a highly homogeneous dispersion of BaTiO_(3)nanoparticles in polydimethylsiloxane dielectric layer.The E-skin is sensitive to externally applied pressure as well as temperature and can distinguish dual synergetic stimuli by the time decoupling effect.The pressure and temperature perception was achieved in an individual device,which greatly reduced the structural complexity compared with multifunctional integrated devices.The sensitivity of E-skin for pressure detection is as high as 0.0724 kPa^(−1)and the detection range reaches as wide as 15.625-10 MPa.The sensitivity to temperature detection is as high as−1.34℃^(−1)and the detection range reaches 20-200℃.More importantly,by equipping with a multilayer neural network,the evolution from tactile perception to advanced intelligent tactile cognition is demonstrated.

文摘Owing to their rolling friction,two-dimensional piston pumps are highly suitable as power components for electro-hydrostatic actuators(EHAs).These pumps are particularly advantageous for applications requiring high efficiency and reliability.However,the ambiguity surrounding the output flow characteristics of individual two-dimensional pumps poses a significant challenge in achieving precise closed-loop control of the EHA positions.To address this issue,this study established a comprehensive numerical model that included gap leakage to analyze the impact of leakage on the output flow characteristics of a two-dimensional piston pump.The validity of the numerical analysis was indirectly confirmed through meticulous measurements of the leakage and volumetric efficiency,ensuring robust results.The research findings indicated that,at lower pump speeds,leakage significantly affected the output flow rate,leading to potential inefficiencies in the system.Conversely,at higher rotational speeds,the impact of leakage was less pronounced,implying that the influence of leakage on the pump outlet flow must be carefully considered and managed for EHAs to perform position servo control.Additionally,the research demonstrates that two-dimensional motion does not have a unique or additional effect on pump leakage,thus simplifying the design considerations.Finally,the study concluded that maintaining an oil-filled leakage environment is beneficial because it helps reduce the impact of leakage and enhances the overall volumetric efficiency of the pump system.

文摘Against the backdrop of regional coordinated development and China’s“dual carbon”strategic objectives,the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei(BTH)region faces an urgent need to transition fromits traditional economic growth model,which is heavily reliant on resource consumption.This study investigates the decoupling dynamics among economic growth,energy consumption,and carbon emissions in the BTH region,along with the underlying driving forces,aiming to provide valuable insights for achieving the“dual carbon”targets and fostering high-quality regional development.First,the Tapio decoupling model is employed to analyze the decoupling relationships between economic growth,energy consumption,and carbon emissions in the BTH region from 2000 to 2021.Second,the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index decomposition method is applied to identify the key driving factors of carbon emission reduction and quantify their respective contributions.Finally,targeted policy recommendations are proposed based on the empirical findings to support regional coordinated development.The results indicate that(1)all three sub-regions within the BTH region have demonstrated consistent improvements in energy utilization efficiency and a gradual decline in carbon emission intensity,although the degree of progress varies across regions;(2)differentiated decoupling states exist between carbon emissions and both economic growth and energy consumption,with Beijing showing significant decoupling,while Tianjin and Hebei Province experience a“rebound”phenomenon following a phase of decoupling;(3)energy consumption intensity and industrial structure optimization have notably positive effects on carbon emission reduction,whereas other factors contribute to varying degrees to the exacerbation of carbon emissions;(4)the impacts of driving factors on carbon emissions exhibit significant spatio-temporal disparities.Based on these findings,the study recommends enhancing fiscal incentives,optimizing industrial structures,improving energy efficiency,and establishing a coordinated regional governance framework to facilitate the BTH region’s low-carbon transition and sustainable development.

文摘Environmental catalysis has been considered one of the important research topics.Some technologies(e.g.,photocatalysis and electrocatalysis)have been intensively developed with the advance of synthetic technologies of catalytical materials.In 2019,we discussed the development trend of this field,and wrote a roadmap on this topic in Chinese Chemical Letters(30(2019)2065-2088).Nowadays,we discuss it again from a new viewpoint along this road.In this paper,several subtopics are discussed,e.g.,photocatalysis based on titanium dioxide,violet phosphorus,graphitic carbon and covalent organic frameworks,electrocatalysts based on carbon,metal-and covalent-organic framework.Finally,we hope that this roadmap can enrich the development of two-dimensional materials in environmental catalysis with novel understanding,and give useful inspiration to explore new catalysts for practical applications.
