In Canada...Traffic intersections are incredibly dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. Statistics from both Canada and the U.S. show a high number of fatalities and serious injuries related to crashes at intersections. In Canada, during 2019, the National Collision Database shows that 28% of traffic fatalities and 42% of serious injuries occurred at intersections. Likewise, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) found that about 40% of the estimated 5,811,000 accidents in the U.S. during the year studied were intersection-related crashes. In fact, a major survey by the car insurance industry found that nearly 85% of drivers could not identify the correct action to take when approaching a yellow traffic light at an intersection. One major reason for these accidents is the “yellow light dilemma,” the ambiguous situation where a driver should stop or proceed forward when unexpectedly faced with a yellow light. This situation is even further exacerbated by the tendency of aggressive drivers to inappropriately speed up on the yellow just to get through the traffic light. A survey of Canadian drivers conducted by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation found that 9% of drivers admitted to speeding up to get through a traffic light. Another reason for these accidents is the increased danger of making a left-hand turn on yellow. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), left turns occur in approximately 22.2% of collisions—as opposed to just 1.2% for right turns. Moreover, a study by CNN found left turns are three times as likely to kill pedestrians than right turns. The reason left turns are so much more likely to cause an accident is because they take a driver against traffic and in the path of oncoming cars. Additionally, most of these left turns occur at the driver’s discretion—as opposed to the distressingly brief left-hand arrow at busy intersections. Drive Safe Now proposes a workable solution for reducing the number of accidents occurring during a yellow light at intersections. We believe this fairly simple solution will save lives, prevent injuries, reduce damage to public and private property, and decrease insurance costs.展开更多

文摘Chronic diabetic wounds,a common and severe complication of diabetes,are characterized by their inability to heal due to impaired blood and oxygen supply.In addition to glycemic control,various clinical treatments such as wound dressings,hyperbaric oxygen therapy,and phototherapy have been employed to manage these wounds.Low-level light therapy has emerged as an effective,noninvasive,and painless therapeutic approach for wound management.However,the bulkiness of traditional light sources and the need for frequent clinic visits have limited its widespread adoption.We have developed a wearable,flexible light-emitting bandage with cyanobacterial impregnation(LEB@Cyan).The bioactive bandage is designed to provide sustained oxygen generation and robust photobiomodulation,promoting keratinocyte migration,fibroblast proliferation,and angiogenesis.This addresses the hypoxic conditions and enhances bioenergetic supply to accelerate the healing process of diabetic wounds.In detail,the wound area of diabetic rats treated with LEB@Cyan showed significant reductions of 74.76%and 96.32%compared with that of LEB-treated diabetic rats and untreated diabetic rats,respectively.Such self-oxygenated wearable light-emitting fabric holds great promise for future clinical and commercial applications,potentially revolutionizing the management of chronic diabetic wounds.

文摘Traffic intersections are incredibly dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. Statistics from both Canada and the U.S. show a high number of fatalities and serious injuries related to crashes at intersections. In Canada, during 2019, the National Collision Database shows that 28% of traffic fatalities and 42% of serious injuries occurred at intersections. Likewise, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) found that about 40% of the estimated 5,811,000 accidents in the U.S. during the year studied were intersection-related crashes. In fact, a major survey by the car insurance industry found that nearly 85% of drivers could not identify the correct action to take when approaching a yellow traffic light at an intersection. One major reason for these accidents is the “yellow light dilemma,” the ambiguous situation where a driver should stop or proceed forward when unexpectedly faced with a yellow light. This situation is even further exacerbated by the tendency of aggressive drivers to inappropriately speed up on the yellow just to get through the traffic light. A survey of Canadian drivers conducted by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation found that 9% of drivers admitted to speeding up to get through a traffic light. Another reason for these accidents is the increased danger of making a left-hand turn on yellow. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), left turns occur in approximately 22.2% of collisions—as opposed to just 1.2% for right turns. Moreover, a study by CNN found left turns are three times as likely to kill pedestrians than right turns. The reason left turns are so much more likely to cause an accident is because they take a driver against traffic and in the path of oncoming cars. Additionally, most of these left turns occur at the driver’s discretion—as opposed to the distressingly brief left-hand arrow at busy intersections. Drive Safe Now proposes a workable solution for reducing the number of accidents occurring during a yellow light at intersections. We believe this fairly simple solution will save lives, prevent injuries, reduce damage to public and private property, and decrease insurance costs.

文摘The removal of ammonia nitrogen(NH_(4)^(+)-N)and bacteria from aquaculture wastewater holds paramount ecological and production significance.In this study,Pt/RuO_(2)/g-C_(3)N_(4)photocatalysts were prepared by depositing Pt and RuO_(2)particles onto g-C_(3)N_(4).The physicochemical properties of photocatalysts were explored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrometer(UV–vis DRS).The photocatalysts were then applied to the removal of both NH_(4)^(+)-N and bacteria from simulated mariculture wastewater.The results clarified that the removals of both NH_(4)^(+)-N and bacteria were in the sequence of g-C_(3)N_(4)<RuO_(2)/g-C_(3)N_(4)<Pt/g-C_(3)N_(4)<Pt/RuO_(2)/g-C_(3)N_(4).This magnificent photocatalytic ability of Pt/RuO_(2)/g-C_(3)N_(4)can be interpreted by the transfer of holes from g-C_(3)N_(4)to RuO_(2)to facilitate the in situ generation of HClO from Cl^(−)in wastewater,while Pt extracts photogenerated electrons for H_(2)formation to enhance the reaction.The removal of NH_(4)^(+)-N and disinfection effect were more pronounced in simulated seawater than in purewater.The removal efficiency ofNH_(4)^(+)-N increases with an increase in pH of wastewater,while the bactericidal effect was more significant under a lower pH in a pH range of 6–9.In actual seawater aquaculture wastewater,Pt/RuO_(2)/g-C_(3)N_(4)still exhibits effective removal efficiency of NH_(4)^(+)-N and bactericidal performance under sunlight.This study provides an alternative avenue for removement of NH_(4)^(+)-N and bacteria from saline waters under sunlight.

文摘In low-light environments,captured images often exhibit issues such as insufficient clarity and detail loss,which significantly degrade the accuracy of subsequent target recognition tasks.To tackle these challenges,this study presents a novel low-light image enhancement algorithm that leverages virtual hazy image generation through dehazing models based on statistical analysis.The proposed algorithm initiates the enhancement process by transforming the low-light image into a virtual hazy image,followed by image segmentation using a quadtree method.To improve the accuracy and robustness of atmospheric light estimation,the algorithm incorporates a genetic algorithm to optimize the quadtree-based estimation of atmospheric light regions.Additionally,this method employs an adaptive window adjustment mechanism to derive the dark channel prior image,which is subsequently refined using morphological operations and guided filtering.The final enhanced image is reconstructed through the hazy image degradation model.Extensive experimental evaluations across multiple datasets verify the superiority of the designed framework,achieving a peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)of 17.09 and a structural similarity index(SSIM)of 0.74.These results indicate that the proposed algorithm not only effectively enhances image contrast and brightness but also outperforms traditional methods in terms of subjective and objective evaluation metrics.

文摘Using natural minerals to eliminate harmful Cr(Ⅵ)under sustainable sunshine has significant potential.Herein,Palygorskite nanorods were utilized as carriers for the in-situ synthesis of CaIn_(2)S_(4) photocatalysts through a simple one-pot thermal process,enabling the efficient reduction of Cr(Ⅵ).With a Palygorskite to CaIn_(2)S_(4) mass ratio of 5%,the conversion rate of Cr(Ⅵ)reached 98%after 60min of visible-light exposure,with a remarkable reaction rate of 0.0633 min^(-1).The effective integration of CaIn_(2)S_(4) with Palygorskite led to a more uniform dispersion of CaIn_(2)S_(4),exposing more reactive sites.Moreover,the establishment of a heterojunction between CaIn_(2)S_(4) and Palygorskite facilitated the transport of photogenerated electrons from CaIn_(2)S_(4),enhancing the efficiency of charge separation.These factors contribute to the improved photocatalytic performance.Additionally,the developed composite photocatalysts demonstrated excellent stability under light exposure and could be reused efficiently.Trapping tests on active substances revealed that e-played key roles in the Cr(Ⅵ)reduction.This research suggests the potential of using natural minerals to fabricate composite photocatalysts capable of effectively removing pollutants from the environment using solar energy.
