文摘The Gannan Yellow River source area(YRSA)is a typical ecological fragile region.Assessing the temporal and spatial patterns of resource and environmental carrying capacity(RECC)is crucial for both ecological security and sustainable development of the Yellow River Basin and the YRSA.Based on RECC theory,this study developed a novel index system focused on human-livestock-grassland relationships to accurately capture resource and environmental carrying characteristics in pastoral regions.By establishing region-specific evaluation thresholds and using a comprehensive index approach,we analyzed spatial and temporal patterns of resource carrying capacity(RCC),environmental carrying capacity(ECC),and resource and environmental carrying capacity(RECC)in the Gannan region from 2005 to 2020.The results indicate that:1)The RECC followed an increasing–decreasing–increasing trajectory from 2005 to 2020,with values ranging from 0.30 to 0.69.The RECC in pastoral areas was not only higher but also exhibited greater variability compared to that in agricultural areas.2)The RCC remained at a low level,with values between 0.06 to 0.098.The index of water consumption per ten thousand Yuan of GDP increased significantly,suggesting that improvements in water use efficiency contributed to the enhancement of RCC.3)The ECC increased notably,shifting from the middle to a very high level,with values ranging from 0.233 to 0.611.ECC emerged as a key determinant of RECC,exhibiting a temporal trend closely aligned with that of RECC.Changes in ECC were primarily driven by factors such as overgrazing rates,the extent of grassland rodent control,and the area of grassland for reseeding and improvement.Based on these findings,future priorities should include the adoption of efficient water-saving irrigation technologies,the promotion of rotational grazing practices,and the optimization of land management strategies.
文摘The intersection of economic development,energy dynamics,environmental policy,and environmental sustainability presents complex challenges for European Union(EU)countries.This study investigatedthe impact of environmental taxes,hydroelectricity consumption,economic globalization,and gross domestic product(GDP)on the load capacity factor(LCF)in the 10 EU member countries(including Austria,Finland,France,Germany,Italy,Poland,Portugal,Slovakia,Spain,and Sweden)using data from 1995 to 2020.To ensure the reliability and validity of the data,this study applied several advanced econometric tests,including the Pesaran and Yamagata slopeheterogeneitytest,Pesaran cross-sectional dependence(CSD)test,second-generation unit root test,and Westerlund cointegration test.The data showed important statistical issues such as slope heterogeneityacross panels,CSD,mixed-orderunit root structures,and long-run associations between variables.To address these issues,we applied an augmented mean group(AMG)model as the main regression approach,andusedthe pooled mean group-autoregressive distributed lag(PMG-ARDL)method to check the robustness.Specifically,the AMG results indicate that a 1.000%rise in hydroelectricity consumptionresults in a 0.048% rise in the LCF,while a 1.000% increase in environmental taxes leads toa 0.175% increase in the LCF.Contrary to this,a 1.000% increase in economic globalization results in a 0.370% decrease in the LCF,and a 1.000% increase in GDP leads toa 0.850% decrease in the LCF.Environmental taxes have a more beneficial impact on the environment,and GDP has the most detrimental effect.The findings provide empirical evidence on the role of environmental taxes,hydroelectricity consumption,economic globalization,and GDP in driving the LCF.Additionally,the findings provide valuable information to policy-makers,academicians,and stakeholders shaping energy and environmental policies in the 10 EU member countries.

文摘Background:The trajectory of intrinsic capacity(IC)among the older population is characterized by its diversity and is predictive of adverse health outcomes such as disability,nursing home admission,decline in quality of life,and mortality.Gaining an understanding of the trajectory of IC and the factors that influence it is of paramount importance for fostering healthy aging.This research is focused on exploring the trajectory of IC among older adults in China and examining the factors that influence it.Methods:This observational longitudinal cohort study leveraged data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS),which was conducted in the years 2011,2013,and 2015.For the purpose of this analysis,a total of 2,233 participants who were aged 60 and over were included.A Growth Mixture Model(GMM)was utilized to define trajectory categories for IC.Influential factors were ascertained based on the health ecology model,and binary logistic regression analysis was utilized to investigate the factors linked with the different trajectory categories.Results:Two distinct trajectory classes of IC were identified:Class 1,the normal-stable group,encompassed 90.4%of the elderly population,while Class 2,the declining group,made up 9.6%.Advanced age and a history of stroke were found to be significantly associated with Class 2.High scores in activities of daily living(ADL),employment status,receiving primary or junior high school education,and residence in the East or Central regions of China were significantly linked with Class 1.Conclusion:The trajectory of IC among older Chinese adults is marked by its heterogeneity.Advanced age and a history of stroke are significant risk factors for a declining IC trajectory,while higher ADL scores,being employed,receiving primary or junior high school education,and residing in the East or Central regions of China are protective factors associated with a stable IC trajectory.Healthcare institutions must closely monitor IC levels and understand these trajectory patterns to implement personalized and targeted interventions promptly to maintain IC at a healthy level and advocate for healthy aging.

文摘Background:Intrinsic capacity reflects the overall health status of older adults and decline in intrinsic abilities can lead to adverse health outcomes.However,empirical studies examining the association between digital health literacy,health-promoting lifestyles and intrinsic capacity are scarce.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Using convenience sampling method,371 older adults were recruited from communities.Multidimensional intrinsic capacity,digital health literacy,health promoting lifestyle and sociodemographic information were measured.Results:The intrinsic capacity of older adults scored 3.75±1.10.The prevalences of declined cognitive capacity,psychological capacity,sensory capacity,vitality,and locomotor capacity were 13.7%,24.3%,19.1%,14.8%,53.1%,respectively.The multiple regression analysis revealed that age(β=−0.253),only living with children and/or grandchildren(β=0.249),current working status(β=−0.132),number of chronic diseases(β=−0.149),frequency of Internet usage(β=0.193),the domain of ability to acquire and evaluate digital health information(β=0.197)in digital health literacy,and the domain of nutrition(β=0.171)in health-promoting lifestyle were the significant factors influencing intrinsic capacity,explaining 27.1%of the variance.Conclusion:Digital health literacy and health-promoting lifestyle have a significant impact on intrinsic capacity.Enhancing digital health literacy and advocating a health-promoting lifestyle are critical to promoting intrinsic capacity for community-dwelling older adults.
文摘Research on high-speed railways is a relatively new yet highly significant field in Vietnam.Among its key components,train control signaling plays a critical role,as it directly affects various interconnected systems,including infrastructure,traction power supply,operational planning,and overall railway safety.This article focuses on evaluating the capacity of the line based on the types of signals suitable for high-speed railways that have been effectively implemented in several European countries and successfully adapted in China.The research and simulation are conducted using MATLAB software,a reliable and widely adopted tool in the scientific community.The findings demonstrate that under normal conditions,the European Railway Traffic Management System/European Train Control System(ERTMS/ETCS)Level 2 signaling can support up to 23.7485 trains/hour/direction.Meanwhile,ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with full moving block can accommodate up to 30.8735 trains/hour/direction,and ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with fixed virtual blocks up to 29.4694 trains/hour/direction.In emergency scenarios,ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with full moving block reduces headway by 33.27%compared to CTCS Level 3,while ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 with fixed virtual blocks achieves a 28.78%reduction.Overall,the ERTMS/ETCS Level 3 emerges as a state-of-the-art signaling technology offering high capacity and operational efficiency,and is recommended as a forward-looking solution for future implementation in Vietnam.

文摘Although wind energy is volatile,the output of a wind-storage plant is partially dispatchable,making it a promising paradigm on the generation side.A grid-friendly wind-storage plant ought to be able to continuously output the desired power over a certain period of time.This paper proposes a dependable dynamic capacity provision scheme of a wind-storage plant over a daily horizon.It stipulates a minimum number of periods during which the committed capacity must be fulfilled and a maximum mismatch during the remaining periods when the desired power output is not achievable.In the general case,the day-ahead piecewise constant capacity provision results in a two-stage stochastic program formulated as a mixed-integer linear program.Specifically,for constant capacity provision,a decomposition algorithm is developed to determine the global optimal solution,and the complexity grows linearly with the number of scenarios.Given the committed capacity trajectory,the real-time operation problem is modeled as a four-state stochastic dynamic program.The discrete state-action values are derived recursively via the principle of optimality.Real-time dispatch actions are generated by using the action-value tabular leveraging inexact ultra-short-term forecasts.Numerical tests over one year demonstrate that the proposed method successfully fulfills reliable operation on 355 days and achieve an optimality gap of 9.47%compared with the ex-post optimum,which is comparable to model predictive control using exact 2–3-hour-ahead wind power forecasts.

文摘In the context of the revolution in new technologies,a key question is whether the rapid growth of the digital economy,driven by digital technologies,has improved regional innovation performance.Using inter-provincial panel data from China(2012–2022)and adopting a business environment perspective,this study applies a Panel Extended Regression Model(PERM),a Panel Simultaneous Equation Model(PSEM),and a Tobit-IV model to analyze how the development of the digital economy influences regional innovation.The results reveal a pronounced U-shaped relationship between the digital economy and the regional innovation performance at the provincial level in China,with the business environment serving as a significant mediator in this relationship.Moreover,regional innovation performance in China exhibits a“ratchet effect,”with the impact of the digital economy varying markedly across regions.While the eastern and western regions have entered an upward phase,whereby the digital economy boosts innovation,the central region displays a weaker effect.Further analysis indicates that the synergy between the business environment and the digital economy in driving innovation remains suboptimal.These findings were supported by robust checks.This study offers theoretical insights and empirical evidence that support the coordinated development of digital government and the digital factor market,as well as business environment reforms that are in alignment with the innovation demands of the digital era.

文摘Anammox bacteria in constructed wetlands(CWs)play pivotal role in sustainable nitrogen transformation,yet existing studies lack comprehensive analysis of environmental gradients and microbial interactions,both key factors in anammox bacteria enrichment.This study investigated the mechanisms driving anammox bacteria enrichment in lab-scale simulated CWs treating high-nitrogen wastewater,focusing on bacterial community re-sponses across wetland layers with various strategies,including continuous up-flow influent,nitrogen loading increase,effluent recirculation,intermittent influent,and anammox bacteria inoculation.Results showed that total relative and absolute abundances of anammox bacteria ranged from 0.77%to 12.50%and from 0.13 to 6.46×10^(7) copies/g,respectively.Dissolved oxygen and pH had significant positive correlations with the absolute abundance of anammox bacteria,while organic matter and nitrate negatively impacted their relative abundance.Permutational multivariate analysis of variance indicated that spatial heterogeneity explained more variation in anammox bacteria abundance(43.44%)compared to operational strategies(8.58%).In terms of microbial interactions,60 dominant species exhibited potential correlations with anammox bacteria,comprising 170 interactions(105 positive and 65 negative),which suggested that anammox bacteria generally foster cooperative relationships with dominant bacteria.Notably,significant interspecies interactions were observed between Candidatus Kuenenia(dominant anammox bacteria in CWs)and species within the genera Chitinivibrio-nia and Anaerolineaceae,suggesting that microbial interactions primarily manifest as indirect facilitative effects rather than direct mutualistic relationships.Given that the Normalized Stochasticity Ratio in CWs were<50%,this study inferred that environmental gradients have greater influence on anammox bacteria than microbial interactions.

文摘In fire rescue scenarios,traditional manual operations are highly dangerous,as dense smoke,low visibility,extreme heat,and toxic gases not only hinder rescue efficiency but also endanger firefighters’safety.Although intelligent rescue robots can enter hazardous environments in place of humans,smoke poses major challenges for human detection algorithms.These challenges include the attenuation of visible and infrared signals,complex thermal fields,and interference frombackground objects,all ofwhichmake it difficult to accurately identify trapped individuals.To address this problem,we propose VIF-YOLO,a visible–infrared fusion model for real-time human detection in dense smoke environments.The framework introduces a lightweight multimodal fusion(LMF)module based on learnable low-rank representation blocks to end-to-end integrate visible and infrared images,preserving fine details while enhancing salient features.In addition,an efficient multiscale attention(EMA)mechanism is incorporated into the YOLOv10n backbone to improve feature representation under low-light conditions.Extensive experiments on our newly constructedmultimodal smoke human detection(MSHD)dataset demonstrate thatVIF-YOLOachievesmAP50 of 99.5%,precision of 99.2%,and recall of 99.3%,outperforming YOLOv10n by a clear margin.Furthermore,when deployed on the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX,VIF-YOLO attains 40.6 FPS with an average inference latency of 24.6 ms,validating its real-time capability on edge-computing platforms.These results confirm that VIF-YOLO provides accurate,robust,and fast detection across complex backgrounds and diverse smoke conditions,ensuring reliable and rapid localization of individuals in need of rescue.

文摘With the increasing emphasis on personal information protection,encryption through security protocols has emerged as a critical requirement in data transmission and reception processes.Nevertheless,IoT ecosystems comprise heterogeneous networks where outdated systems coexist with the latest devices,spanning a range of devices from non-encrypted ones to fully encrypted ones.Given the limited visibility into payloads in this context,this study investigates AI-based attack detection methods that leverage encrypted traffic metadata,eliminating the need for decryption and minimizing system performance degradation—especially in light of these heterogeneous devices.Using the UNSW-NB15 and CICIoT-2023 dataset,encrypted and unencrypted traffic were categorized according to security protocol,and AI-based intrusion detection experiments were conducted for each traffic type based on metadata.To mitigate the problem of class imbalance,eight different data sampling techniques were applied.The effectiveness of these sampling techniques was then comparatively analyzed using two ensemble models and three Deep Learning(DL)models from various perspectives.The experimental results confirmed that metadata-based attack detection is feasible using only encrypted traffic.In the UNSW-NB15 dataset,the f1-score of encrypted traffic was approximately 0.98,which is 4.3%higher than that of unencrypted traffic(approximately 0.94).In addition,analysis of the encrypted traffic in the CICIoT-2023 dataset using the same method showed a significantly lower f1-score of roughly 0.43,indicating that the quality of the dataset and the preprocessing approach have a substantial impact on detection performance.Furthermore,when data sampling techniques were applied to encrypted traffic,the recall in the UNSWNB15(Encrypted)dataset improved by up to 23.0%,and in the CICIoT-2023(Encrypted)dataset by 20.26%,showing a similar level of improvement.Notably,in CICIoT-2023,f1-score and Receiver Operation Characteristic-Area Under the Curve(ROC-AUC)increased by 59.0%and 55.94%,respectively.These results suggest that data sampling can have a positive effect even in encrypted environments.However,the extent of the improvement may vary depending on data quality,model architecture,and sampling strategy.

文摘Prussian blue analogs(PBAs)are considered one of the excellent cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their low cost and high theoretical specific capacity,especially sodium-rich iron-based PBAs(FeHCF)can provide higher energy density.FeHCF has a poor charge/discharge platform stability at high voltages(FeC_(6)moiety),which is mainly affected by its coordination environment.In this research,Cu^(+)(six-coordinated),which is close to the ionic radius of Fe^(2+),was used for substitution,the FeC_(6)vacancies of FeHCF were reduced,and the coordination environment was optimized.The low Cu^(+)-substituted FeHCF(Cu^(+)0.625)has an optimal electrochemical performance at 8.5 mA/g with a reversible specific capacity of 142 mA h/g and FeC_(6)moiety contribution of more than 68 mA h/g,which is superior to that of unmodified and other Cu^(2+)-substituted FeHCFs.In situ tests demonstrate the reversible structural stability of the Cu^(+)0.625,supporting the stability of their high-voltage platform capacity.This Cu^(+)substitution strategy further enriches the approach to optimize the coordination environment of sodium-rich FeHCF.

文摘To achieve the goals of sustainable development of the energy system and the construction of a lowcarbon society,this study proposes a multi-energy storage collaborative optimization strategy for industrial park that integrates the laddered carbon trading mechanism with demand response.Firstly,a dual dimensional DR model is constructed based on the characteristics of load elasticity.The alternativeDRenables flexible substitution of energy loads through complementary conversion of electricity/heat/cold multi-energy sources,while the price DR relies on timeof-use electricity price signals to guide load spatiotemporal migration;Secondly,the LCT mechanism is introduced to achieve optimal carbon emission costs through a tiered carbon quota allocation mechanism.On this basis,an optimization decision model is established with the core objective of maximizing the annual net profit of the park.The objective function takes into account energy sales revenue,generator unit costs,and investment and operation costs of multiple types of energy storage facilities.Themodel constraint system covers three key dimensions:dynamic operation constraints of power generation units,including unit output limits,ramping capability,and minimum start-stop time;the physical boundary of an electric/hot/cold multi-energy storage system involves energy storage capacity and charge/discharge efficiency;The multi-energy network coupling balance equation ensures that the energy conversion and transmission process satisfies the law of conservation of energy.Using CPLEX mathematical programming solver for simulation verification,construct an energy storage capacity configuration decision process that includes LCT-DR synergistic effect.The research results show that compared with the traditional single energy storage configuration mode,this strategy effectively enhances the economic feasibility and engineering practicality of industrial park operation by coordinating demand side resource scheduling and finely controlling carbon costs,while maintaining stable system operation.Its methodological framework provides a technical path that combines theoretical rigor and practical operability for the low-carbon transformation of regional integrated energy systems.

文摘Objective:To explore the application effect of combined exercise intervention based on the hospital-community-family model on intrinsic capacity in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by chronic kidney disease.Methods:Using convenience sampling,100 elderly patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by chronic kidney disease who received treatment in the endocrinology department of a tertiary A-level hospital from May 2024 to May 2025 were selected as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into an experimental group(50 cases)and a control group(50 cases)using a random number table method.The control group received routine health education and telephone follow-up,while the experimental group,in addition to the control group’s interventions,underwent combined exercise intervention based on the hospital-community-family model.Remote medical guidance was utilized to monitor and study the application effect of exercise intervention on intrinsic capacity in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by chronic kidney disease.Fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose,glomerular filtration rate,6-minute walk distance,and scores in five dimensions of intrinsic capacity(exercise,cognition,psychology,vitality,and sensation)were measured before the intervention,at 4 weeks of intervention,and at 12 weeks of intervention for both groups.Results:Before the exercise intervention,there were no statistically significant differences(p>0.05)between the two groups in terms of fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose,glomerular filtration rate,6-minute walk distance,and scores across five dimensions of intrinsic capacity:mobility,cognition,psychology,vitality,and sensation.After 12 weeks of intervention,the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher scores than the control group in glomerular filtration rate,6-minute walk distance,and the dimensions of mobility,cognition,and vitality within intrinsic capacity,with all differences being statistically significant(p<0.05).Conversely,the experimental group showed significantly lower scores than the control group in fasting blood glucose,2-hour postprandial blood glucose,and the psychological dimension of intrinsic capacity,with these differences also being statistically significant(p<0.05).Conclusion:Continuous nursing care utilizing telemedicine based on a hospital-community-family model combined with exercise intervention can effectively enhance exercise tolerance and intrinsic capacity in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by chronic kidney disease,thereby improving their quality of life.The effectiveness of the intervention is positively correlated with the duration of the intervention.

文摘Antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs) are recognized as a primary threat to the sustainability of environment and human health in the 21^(st) century.Nanomaterials(NMs) have attracted substantial attention due to their unique dimensions and structures.Unfortunately,emerging evidence suggests that NMs may facilitate the transmission of ARGs.It is crucial to elucidate how NMs affect the evolution and dissemination of ARGs.The current review comprehensively examines the role of NMs in the widespread transmission of ARGs in aquatic environments and the underlying mechanisms involved in the process.It aims to clarify the effects and mechanisms of NMs on the horizontal gene transfer processes that are associated with ARGs,including the enhancement of cell membrane permeability,the formation of nanopores on membranes,promotion of mutagenesis,and the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROSs).Furthermore,the trade-off between the removal of ARGs and horizontal transfer has been elucidated.The review aspires to guide future research directions,advance knowledge on the implications of NMs in the field of ARGs' transmission,and provide a theoretical foundation for the development of safer and more effective applications of NMs.

文摘The atmospheric corrosion behavior of 510L low alloy steel subjected to acid-cleaned surface(ACS)and eco-pickled surface(EPS)treatments is systematically examined.After 1 year of atmospheric exposure,both ACS-and EPS-treated samples demonstrate protective ability index values exceeding 2,indicating robust protective properties of the developed rust layers.The corrosion rates of ACS-and EPS-treated samples are similar.During the initial corrosion stage,γ-FeOOH emerges as the dominant corrosion product.With the prolonged atmospheric exposure,γ-FeOOH content progressively decreases through phase transformation into thermodynamically stableα-FeOOH and densely structured Fe_(3)O_(4),which markedly suppresses the corrosion of the steel.Notably,the corrosion rate of the coated EPS sample is obviously lower than that of the coated ACS counterpart,which is ascribed to the distinctive micro-roughness of EPS-treated surfaces that promote mechanical interlocking with protective coatings.

文摘In real-world autonomous driving tests,unexpected events such as pedestrians or wild animals suddenly entering the driving path can occur.Conducting actual test drives under various weather conditions may also lead to dangerous situations.Furthermore,autonomous vehicles may operate abnormally in bad weather due to limitations of their sensors and GPS.Driving simulators,which replicate driving conditions nearly identical to those in the real world,can drastically reduce the time and cost required for market entry validation;consequently,they have become widely used.In this paper,we design a virtual driving test environment capable of collecting and verifying SiLS data under adverse weather conditions using multi-source images.The proposed method generates a virtual testing environment that incorporates various events,including weather,time of day,and moving objects,that cannot be easily verified in real-world autonomous driving tests.By setting up scenario-based virtual environment events,multi-source image analysis and verification using real-world DCUs(Data Concentrator Units)with V2X-Car edge cloud can effectively address risk factors that may arise in real-world situations.We tested and validated the proposed method with scenarios employing V2X communication and multi-source image analysis.

文摘Micro-sized anatase TiO_(2) displays inferior capacity as cathode material for magnesium ion batteries because of the higher diffusion energy barrier of Mg^(2+)in anatase TiO_(2) lattice.Herein,we report that nanosized anatase TiO_(2) exposed(001)facet doubles the capacity compared to the micro-sized sample ascribed to the interfacial Mg^(2+)ion storage.First-principles calculations reveal that the diffusion energy barrier of Mg^(2+)on the(001)facet is significantly lower than those in the bulk phase and on(100)facet,and the adsorption energy of Mg^(2+)on the(001)facet is also considerably lower than that on(100)facet,which guarantees superior interfacial Mg^(2+)storage of(001)facet.Moreover,anatase TiO_(2) exposed(001)facet displays a significantly higher capacity of 312.9 mAh g^(−1) in Mg-Li dual-salt electrolyte compared to 234.3 mAh g^(−1) in Li salt electrolyte.The adsorption energies of Mg^(2+)on(001)facet are much lower than the adsorption energies of Li+on(001)facet,implying that the Mg^(2+)ion interfacial storage is more favorable.These results highlight that controlling the crystal facet of the nanocrystals effectively enhances the interfacial storage of multivalent ions.This work offers valuable guidance for the rational design of high-capacity storage systems.

文摘Oxygen vacancy(Vo)engineering has been recognized as one of the most effective strategies for enhancing the photocatalytic CO_(2) conversion performance of metal oxides,as it can simultaneously facilitate photogenerated charge carrier separation efficiency and provide additional surface reaction sites.However,the wide application of Vo engineering in photocatalysis are limited by its poor stability,owing to the easy recovery of these vacancy defects by atmospheric oxygen.Herein,we develop an indium(In)doping strategy to regulate the coordination environment in CeO_(2) with abundant Vo(CeO_(2-x)),thereby enhance its stability during photocatalytic CO_(2) conversion.Confirmed by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy(PALS),In dopants combine with Vo by substituting for part of Ce^(4+),forming In^(3+)-Vo complexes that effectively inhibit the formation of unstable va-cancy clusters.Such In^(3+)-Vo complexes can also reduce the energy required for formation of the CO products.Therefore,the optimized In-doped CeO_(2-x) exhibits excellent photocatalytic CO_(2) conversion performance,with a CO yield of 301.6μmol⋅g^(-1) after 5 h of light irradiation,and maintain high activity after four cycles of experiments.Comprehensive experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the introduction of In doping not only significantly improves the stability of Vo in CeO_(2-x),but also reconstruct the reaction kinetics of the CO_(2) conversion by forming In^(3+)-Vo complexes thus facilitating the overall reaction.
