文摘Quantifying material use in infrastructure development and analyzing its relationship with economic growth is essential for enhancing resource efficiency and steering regional resource management toward sustainable development.This study systematically assessed infrastructure related material use in 30 provinces,autonomous regions,and municipalities in China during 1978-2022.The result indicated that material stock has experienced significant growth,increasing from 16.91×10^(9)t in 1978 to 103.60×10^(9)t in 2022,with an average annual growth rate of 4.20%.However,from 1978 to 2015,material input followed a strong upward trend but saturated after 2015.At the national level,material input peaked in 2015,after which it began to decline.The central region reached its peak earlier in 2013,while the eastern and western regions peaked in 2015.Using a decoupling analysis framework,this study revealed that nationally,the elasticity value between material stock and gross domestic product(GDP)remained near or above 1.0,reflecting continued reliance on stock accumulation.Regionally,the elasticity value between material stock and GDP has increased in the central and western regions during 1978-2022,whereas elasticity value between material stock and GDP in the eastern region showed a slower growth rate but still struggled to achieve absolute decoupling.Moreover,the elasticity value between material input and GDP has declined at the national level,presenting a relative decoupling,with some regions already achieving absolute decoupling.The eastern region was closer to absolute decoupling,while the central and western regions,though still intensive in material input,exhibited faster declines in elasticity.Accelerating the transition from linear to circular economy is an essential step for China to achieve absolute decoupling and long-term sustainability.Finally,this research recommends promoting the adoption of renewable energy,driving industrial upgrading,implementing compact urban design,and extending the lifespan of infrastructure to reduce material dependency and achieve sustainable infrastructure transformation at the national level.

文摘Single-molecule junctions are building blocks for constructing molecular devices.However,intermolecular interactions like winding bring additional interference among the surrounding molecules,which inhibits the intrinsic coherent transport through single-molecule junctions.Here,we employed a nanocavity(dimethoxypillar[5]arene,DMP[5]),which is analogous to electric cables,to confine the conformation of flexible chains(1,8-diaminooctane,DAO)via host-vip interaction.Single-molecule conductance measurements indicate that the conductance of DAO encapsulated with DMP[5]is as high as that of pure DAO,as reproduced by theoretical simulations.Intriguingly,the molecular lengths of the DAO encapsulated with DMP[5]increase from 1.13 nm to 1.46 nm compared with the pure DAO,indicating that DMP[5]keeps DAO upright-standing via the confinement effect.This work provides a new strategy to decouple the intermolecular interaction by employing an insulating sheath,enabling the high-density integration of single-molecule devices.
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Combining water electrolysis and rechargeable battery technologies into a single system holds great promise for the co-production of hydrogen (H_(2)) and electricity.However,the design and development of such systems is still in its infancy.Herein,an integrated hydrogen-oxygen (O_(2))-electricity co-production system featuring a bipolar membrane-assisted decoupled electrolyzer and a Na-Zn ion battery was established with sodium nickelhexacyanoferrate (NaNiHCF) and Zn^(2+)/Zn as dual redox electrodes.The decoupled electrolyzer enables to produce H_(2)and O_(2)in different time and space with almost 100%Faradaic efficiency at 100 mA cm^(-2).Then,the charged NaNiHCF and Zn electrodes after the electrolysis processes formed a Na-Zn ion battery,which can generate electricity with an average cell voltage of 1.75 V at 10 m A cm^(-2).By connecting Si photovoltaics with the modular electrochemical device,a well-matched solar driven system was built to convert the intermittent solar energy into hydrogen and electric energy with a solar to hydrogen-electricity efficiency of 16.7%,demonstrating the flexible storage and conversion of renewables.

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With the increasingly stringent national environmental protection policies,the ultra-low emission transformation of industrial coal-fired grate boilers and the highly efficient utilization of biomass resources or wastes are becoming increasingly urgent in China.This study first proposes a novel and simple configuration for industrial grate boilers to integrate the decoupling combustion and flue gas recirculation or co-firing technologies,so as to reduce pollutant emission but improve thermal efficiency.Burning coal briquettes in the novel grate boiler,the original NO_(x) emissions can be remarkably decreased to as low as 56 mg· m^(-3),corresponding to the reduction efficiency of 82.8% in comparison with the average value in traditional coal-fired grate boilers.Co-firing coal briquettes with straw pellets in the novel grate boiler,the strongest synergistic effect of NO_(x) reduction is observed at the blending mass fraction of 50%,in which the NOxemissions can be further mitigated by at most 16.0% on top of the already reduced amount by decoupling combustion to reach less than about 165 mg· m^(-3).The novel grate boiler allows co-firing Chinese medicine residue with high water content at the blending mass fraction of up to 30% on the premise of low NO_(x) and CO emissions.All experimental results in this study demonstrated the obvious superiorities of the novel grate boiler in reducing NO_(x) and CO emissions and mitigating both slagging tendency and slag carbon content,which can be attributed to either the cumulative effects of decoupling combustion with flue gas recirculation or the synergistic effects of cofiring coal-biomass blends.The newly-developed travelling-grate decoupling combustion technology can be expected to provide an economical and convenient measure for the ultra-low NO_(x) emission transformation of industrial coal-fired grate boilers as well as the clean and highly efficient consumption of biomass wastes with high water content or difficulty to burn in China.

文摘Research indicates that microbe activity within the human body significantly influences health by being closely linked to various diseases.Accurately predicting microbe-disease interactions(MDIs)offers critical insights for disease intervention and pharmaceutical research.Current advanced AI-based technologies automatically generate robust representations of microbes and diseases,enabling effective MDI predictions.However,these models continue to face significant challenges.A major issue is their reliance on complex feature extractors and classifiers,which substantially diminishes the models’generalizability.To address this,we introduce a novel graph autoencoder framework that utilizes decoupled representation learning and multi-scale information fusion strategies to efficiently infer potential MDIs.Initially,we randomly mask portions of the input microbe-disease graph based on Bernoulli distribution to boost self-supervised training and minimize noise-related performance degradation.Secondly,we employ decoupled representation learning technology,compelling the graph neural network(GNN)to independently learn the weights for each feature subspace,thus enhancing its expressive power.Finally,we implement multi-scale information fusion technology to amalgamate the multi-layer outputs of GNN,reducing information loss due to occlusion.Extensive experiments on public datasets demonstrate that our model significantly surpasses existing top MDI prediction models.This indicates that our model can accurately predict unknown MDIs and is likely to aid in disease discovery and precision pharmaceutical research.Code and data are accessible at:https://github.com/shmildsj/MDI-IFDRL.

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In weak field limits,we compute the deflection angle of a gravitational decoupling extended black hole(BH)solution.We obtained the Gaussian optical curvature by examining the null geodesic equations with the help of Gauss-Bonnet theorem(GBT).We also looked into the deflection angle of light by a black hole in weak field limits with the use of the Gibbons-Werner method.We verify the graphical behavior of the black hole after determining the deflection angle of light.Additionally,in the presence of the plasma medium,we also determine the deflection angle of the light and examine its graphical behavior.Furthermore,we compute the Einstein ring via gravitational decoupling extended black hole solution.We also compute the quasi-periodic oscillations and discuss their graphical behavior.
