文摘3D printing,as a versatile additive manufacturing technique,offers high design flexibility,rapid prototyping,minimal material waste,and the capability to fabricate complex,customized geometries.These attributes make it particularly well-suited for low-temperature hydrogen electrochemical conversion devices—specifically,proton exchange membrane fuel cells,proton exchange membrane electrolyzer cells,anion exchange membrane electrolyzer cells,and alkaline electrolyzers—which demand finely structured components such as catalyst layers,gas diffusion layers,electrodes,porous transport layers,and bipolar plates.This review provides a focused and critical summary of the current progress in applying 3D printing technologies to these key components.It begins with a concise introduction to the principles and classifications of mainstream 3D printing methods relevant to the hydrogen energy sector and proceeds to analyze their specific applications and performance impacts across different device architectures.Finally,the review identifies existing technical challenges and outlines future research directions to accelerate the integration of 3D printing in nextgeneration low-temperature hydrogen energy systems.
文摘Sally Rooney,a young Irish writer,has been dubbed“the first great novelist of the millennial generation”.Conversations with Friends,her first work,demonstrates amazing insight and subtle expression as she explores a wide range of realistic issues such as modern intimacy,class injustice,and politics,all while depicting the complex interaction between two college girls and a celebrity couple from Dublin.This paper will use psychoanalytic viewpoints from scholars such as Freud,Garland,and Kaufman to examine the trauma and shame experienced by the heroine Frances,as well as the possibilities and ways in which adults can heal the trauma.Rooney completes the trauma narrative of modern people by portraying the life and feelings of Frances,a normal modern youth.

文摘Although generative conversational artificial intelligence(AI)can answer questions well and hold conversations as a person,the semantic ambiguity inherent in text-based communication poses challenges to effective use.Effective use reflects the users’utilization of generative conversational AI to achieve their goals,which has not been previously studied.Drawing on the media naturalness theory,we examined how generative conversational AI’s content and style naturalness affect effective use.A two-wave survey was conducted to collect data from 565 users of generative conversational AI.Two techniques were used in this study.Initially,partial least squares structural equation modeling(PLS-SEM)was applied to determine the variables that significantly affected the mechanisms(i.e.,cognitive effort and communication ambiguity)and effective use.Secondly,an artificial neural network model was used to evaluate the relative importance of the significant predictors of mechanisms and effective use identified from the PLS-SEM analysis.The results revealed that the naturalness of content and style differed in their effects on cognitive effort and communication ambiguity.Additionally,cognitive effort and communication ambiguity negatively affected effective use.This study advances the literature on effective use by uncovering the psychological mechanisms underlying effective use and their antecedents.In addition,this study offers insights into the design of generative conversational AI.
基金Survey on the Use of Discourse Markers by Teachers and Students in Foreign Language Classrooms:Taking Teaching Stages and Contexts as Examples(Project No.:20240847)Ideological and Political Teaching Practice of Linguistics Course Under New Liberal Arts(Project No.:JG2023074)。
文摘Based on conversation analysis theory,this study explored how teachers and students used discourse markers in foreign language classrooms and how these markers affect classroom interaction.The results showed that teachers use different discourse markers in different teaching stages such as lead-in,presentation,practice and summary to make their teaching more organized and clearer.However,students used these markers less often,and their expressions are often less coherent.Based on these findings,the study suggests teaching strategies for teachers and learning strategies for students to improve how they use discourse markers.This can help make foreign language teaching more effective and interactive.
文摘In the context of globalization and digitalization,English has emerged as the primary language for international communication,making fluent conversational English skills essential for personal and professional growth.The advent of We-Media,encompassing various online platforms,such as social media,blogs,and video content,has revolutionized the way English learners acquire and practice conversational skills.This paper explores the effective utilization of We-Media to enhance English conversational abilities,proposing practical strategies for both learners and educators.By integrating theories,such as second language acquisition,communicative language teaching,and media richness theory,the study highlights the strengths and challenges of We-Media in English learning.Through case studies and empirical analysis,the paper demonstrates the positive impact of We-Media on learners’speaking skills,emphasizing the importance of self-management,goal-setting,and consistent practice.The findings suggest that We-Media offers a flexible and diverse learning environment,but its effectiveness depends on learners’ability to self-regulate and employ effective learning strategies.The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and practical suggestions for educators and learners to maximize the benefits of We-Media in English education.
