The technological development of any of these processes is still at an early stage. For hydrate formation, for example, various rival operations have been proposed. However,many of them have never been subjected to actual tests for practical use. More efforts are required for examining the different hydrate-formation technologies and for rating them by comparison. The general design of the processing of the formed hydrate inevitably depends on both the hydrate-formation process and the storage/transportation process, hence it has a wide variability. The major uncertainty in the storage-process design lies in the as-yet unclarified utility of the "self-preservation" effect of the naturalgas hydrates. The process design as well as the relevant cost evaluation should strongly depend on whether the hydrates are well preserved at atmospheric pressure in large-scale storage facilities. The regasification process has been studied less extensively than the former processes. The state of the art of the technological development in each of the serial processes is reviewed, placing emphasis on the hydrate formation process.展开更多

The ...Anticancer targets of cryptotanshinone were evaluated and rapidly forecasted with PharmMapper, a reverse pharmacophore-based screening platform, as well as drug target databases, including PDTD, DrugBank and TTD. The pathway analyses for the collection of anticancer targets screened were carried out based on the KEGG pathway database, followed by the forecast of potential pharmacological activities and pathways of the effects of cryptotanshinone, and verification of some of the targets screened using whole cell tests. The results showed that a total of eight targets with anticancer potential were screened, including MAP2K1, RARα, RXRα, PDK1, CHK1, AR, Ang-1 R, and Kif11. These targets are mainly related to four aspects of the cancer growth: the cell cycle, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and androgen receptor. The cell tests showed that cryptotanshinone can inhibit the viability of human hepatoma cells SMMC-7721, which is related to the reduction of expression of MAP2K1 mRNA. This method provides a strong clue for the study of the anticancer effects and mechanisms of action of cryptotanshinone in the future.展开更多

文摘Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS)is a dynamic progression during growth,which requires long-term collaborations and efforts from clinicians,patients and their families.It would be beneficial to have a precise intervention based on cross-scale understandings of the etiology,real-time sensing and actuating to enable early detection,screening and personalized treatment.We argue that merging computational intelligence and wearable technologies can bridge the gap between the current trajectory of the techniques applied to AIS and this vision.Wearable technologies such as inertial measurement units(IMUs)and surface electromyography(sEMG)have shown great potential in monitoring spinal curvature and muscle activity in real-time.For instance,IMUs can track the kinematics of the spine during daily activities,while sEMG can detect asymmetric muscle activation patterns that may contribute to scoliosis progression.Computational intelligence,particularly deep learning algorithms,can process these multi-modal data streams to identify early signs of scoliosis and adapt treatment strategies dynamically.By using their combination,we can find potential solutions for a better understanding of the disease,a more effective and intelligent way for treatment and rehabilitation.

文摘Green development and the low-carbon economy in China have operated as parallel,distinct systems,with interactions limited to energy,industry,and technology.Guided by the concept of high-quality growth,green development—centered on sustainability principles and green targets—has focused on green living,production,industrial optimization,system-building,land-use planning,and global ecological objectives,thereby forming a uniquely Chinese green development framework.Similarly,the low-carbon economy,structured around carbon emission goals,development drivers,models of growth,management mechanisms,and international carbon responsibilities,has also developed a distinct framework.Introducing digital intelligence as a new dimension can serve as a coupling point to foster interactive mechanisms between green development and the low-carbon economy.These interactive mechanisms are reflected through smart green cloud collaboration systems and intelligent low-carbon governance platforms,using digital intelligence technology to enhance the synergy between green and low-carbon efforts in energy,carbon management,technology,innovation,governance,and the economy.Through analyzing these mechanisms,and returning to sustainability principles while responding to China's modern development philosophy,a uniquely Chinese theory and framework for green and low-carbon development can be constructed.

文摘Road infrastructure is facing significant digitalization challenges within the context of new infrastructure construction in China and worldwide.Among the advanced digital technologies,digital twin(DT)has gained prominence across various engineering sectors,including the manufacturing and construction industries.Specifically,road engineering has demonstrated a growing interest in DT and has achieved promising results in DT-related applications over the past several years.This paper systematically introduces the development of DT and examines its current state in road engineering by reviewing research articles on DT-enabling technologies,such as model creation,condition sensing,data processing,and interaction,as well as its applications throughout the lifecycle of road infrastructure.The findings indicate that research has primarily focused on data perception and virtual model creation,while realtime data processing and interaction between physical and virtual models remain underexplored.DT in road engineering has been predominantly applied during the operation and maintenance phases,with limited attention given to the construction and demolition phases.Future efforts should focus on establishing uniform standards,developing innovative perception and data interaction techniques,optimizing development costs,and expanding the scope of lifecycle applications to facilitate the digital transformation of road engineering.This review provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art advancements in this field and paves the way for leveraging DT in road infrastructure lifecycle management.
