It was found that environmental variables-including temperature, light, and moisture-elicit directional shifts in static traits ( e.g. , chemical composition, morphological architecture, and leaf tissue structure) toward enhanced environmental adaptation, characterized by graduality, juvenility, similarity, and correlativity. Upon alterations in ambient conditions, flue-cured tobacco modulates its static traits through integrated physical, chemical, and biological-genetic mechanisms, aiming to optimize resource utilization, mitigate environmental constraints, and preserve internal homeostasis alongside metabolic balance. The investigation further reveals that the adaptive scope of flue-cured tobacco to field environments is malleable and can be extended and elevated via adaptive conditioning commencing at the juvenile stage. In addition, the adaptive alignment between static traits and environmental parameters exerts a substantial impact on the plant s growth dynamics, yield performance, and quality attributes. Beyond its relevance to flue-cured tobacco, the proposed theory offers a meaningful framework for elucidating the pervasive adaptive strategies employed by plants and broader biological systems in response to environmental contingencies.展开更多

文摘Porous hydrogel sensors have attracted significant attention in fields such as smart wearables and medical monitoring due to their high sensitivity.However,existing fabrication methods typically degrade the surface smoothness of hydrogels when introducing porous structures and face significant challenges in removing fillers completely.To address these challenges,we herein introduce a novel one-step,thermosensitive spray-coating technique for the preparation of aircell hydrogel(ACH).This method leverages the rapid cooling of a thermoresponsive gelatin methacryloyl solution through atomization,enabling rapid cross-linking within seconds and air bubbles encapsulated in situ.Additionally,the transient flow of the pre-gel facilitates the repair of voids formed by ruptured surface bubbles,leading to the creation of the ACH with uniformly distributed inner air bubbles and a smooth outer surface.The mold-free fabrication method is independent of substrate surface properties,enabling the creation of a porous hydrogel film with a thickness as thin as 163 µm.Furthermore,the dual-crosslinked network endows the ACH with excellent anti-swelling properties,and the physical crosslinking between gelatin molecules allows the ACH to self-heal.The ACH exhibits excellent sensitivity in deformation sensing and can even successfully track minor external forces,which enables it to effectively complete various tasks such as facial expression recognition,pitch differentiation,and motion detection.By integrating the ACH into a sensing glove,we also demonstrate the significant potential of the ACH for applications in human-machine interaction and tactile sensing.Ultimately,the ACH sensors are also applied to motion mapping and machine tactile feedback,indicating their promising potential in human-machine interaction.

文摘The accelerating impacts of climate change,rising temperatures,extreme weather events,and biodiversity loss underscore the urgent need for widespread public awareness.This research explores why climate change awareness is not just beneficial but essential for effective environmental stewardship and the long-term health of our planet.The research proffers informed communities,encouraging sustainable practices,and driving policy advocacy,awareness serves as a model for collective action.This call to consciousness challenges individuals,institutions,and nations to recognize their role in shaping a resilient,sustainable future for the Earth.Methodology adopted in this research is a mixed-method design,involving both qualitative and quasi-experimental designs,which engages the use of focus group discussions and oral interviews to explore deeper insights into perceptions,biodiversity loss consciousness,and environmental depletion challenges.Also,applicable under the qualitative method is the secondary data collection mode,namely,reports from IPCC,government policy documents,and existing literature related to the context of the research.The empirical and scientific data analysis was presented from the data collected and was coded and subjected to analysis using a paired samples t-test.The study is grounded on the theory of“Value-Belief-Norm”(VBN)developed by Stern et al.The VBN theory posits that individuals are more likely to engage in pro-environmental behaviour when their values(especially biosphere and altruistic),beliefs(about environmental consequences),and norms(personal responsibility to act)align.The findings of this study underscore the critical role of climate change awareness in fostering environmental and earth stewardship.The paper recommends that Governments of the country(State and federal)should take urgent steps in sensitising the general public on the causes and impact of climate change.

文摘Starting from the foundational static traits underlying the growth and development of flue-cured tobacco, this research conducts a systematic examination of the phenomena and theoretical principles associated with environment-driven adaptive changes during its cultivation. It was found that environmental variables-including temperature, light, and moisture-elicit directional shifts in static traits ( e.g. , chemical composition, morphological architecture, and leaf tissue structure) toward enhanced environmental adaptation, characterized by graduality, juvenility, similarity, and correlativity. Upon alterations in ambient conditions, flue-cured tobacco modulates its static traits through integrated physical, chemical, and biological-genetic mechanisms, aiming to optimize resource utilization, mitigate environmental constraints, and preserve internal homeostasis alongside metabolic balance. The investigation further reveals that the adaptive scope of flue-cured tobacco to field environments is malleable and can be extended and elevated via adaptive conditioning commencing at the juvenile stage. In addition, the adaptive alignment between static traits and environmental parameters exerts a substantial impact on the plant s growth dynamics, yield performance, and quality attributes. Beyond its relevance to flue-cured tobacco, the proposed theory offers a meaningful framework for elucidating the pervasive adaptive strategies employed by plants and broader biological systems in response to environmental contingencies.

文摘The coastal regions of southern China experience the country's most frequent convective weather.Accurately representing the low-level upstream atmospheric state over the data-sparse South China Sea(SCS)is crucial for reliable convection predictions in numerical models.Utilizing 10 years of radiosonde observations launched over the SCS,this study presents the upstream offshore convective environments and evaluates the global model data performance including NCEP FNL,ERA5,CRA-40,JRA-3Q,and MERRA-2.Results show that thermodynamic state variables such as temperature and humidity exhibit greater biases than kinetic variables,particularly at low levels.Deeper-layer parameters exhibit smaller uncertainties,especially wind-related variables,while moisture-related parameters have the largest uncertainties,compared to shallower-layer parameters.All model data tend to underestimate the conditional instability and equilibrium level,while overestimating the condensation level,storm relative helicity(SRH),with minimal bias in lapse rate,convective inhibition,vertical wind shear(VWS),and mean winds.These biases primarily arise from the model data's underestimation of temperature and moisture below 700 hPa and lower wind speeds below 950 hPa.Among the global models,CRA-40 performs best in dynamic parameters,with highest correlation and lowest mean absolute error in low-level winds,SRH,VWS,and mean winds.ERA5 excels in thermodynamic parameters.Additional convective-permitting numerical experiments indicate that minor initial condition errors over the upstream ocean significantly affect coastal rainfall production.The rainfall production on windward coasts is most sensitive to the low-level air temperature errors during nocturnal hours,while the rainfall over the PRD is most sensitive to the low-level wind errors.

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The development of infrared engineering technologies for extreme environments remains a formidable challenge due to the inherent trade-offs among optical performance,thermal stability,and mechanical integrity in thermal photonic metamaterials(TPMs).This work introduces a novel multi-obj ective design framework and demonstrates the design,fabrication,and validation of a TPM operating under extreme temperatures up to 1873 K.We have established a holistic design framework integrating temperaturedependent neural network and Pareto multi-obj ective optimization to co-optimize spectral response,component light-weighting,and structural efficiency.The framework achieves 100 times faster computation than genetic algorithms.The performance of the designed TPM was evaluated under various atmospheric models and detection distances.The TPM achieved a peak radiance suppression efficiency of 82%and a maximum attenuation of-7.4 dB at 1200-1500 K.Experimentally,we fabricated an all-dielectric TPM using a refractory TiO_(2)/BeO multilayer stack with only 5 layers and 2um total thickness.The optimized structure shows high reflectivity(0.62 at 3-5 um;0.48 at 8-14μm)for radiative suppression and high emissivity(0.87 at 5-8μm)for radiative cooling.The TPM withstands 1873 K for 12 h in air with less than 3%spectral drift,retaining excellent mechanical properties.On high-temperature components,it achieves 40-50%radiative suppression and 40-60 K(~10.1 kW m^(-2))radiative cooling at 1100 K,endures over 20 times thermal shock cycles(>150 K s^(-1),700-1500 K),and maintains stable performance over 5 cycles,with 78%visible and 98%microwave transmittance.This work establishes a new paradigm in the design and application of photonic materials for extreme environments.
文摘Driven by rapid advances in deep learning,object detection has been widely adopted across diverse application scenarios.However,in low-light conditions,critical visual cues of target objects are severely degraded,posing a significant challenge for accurate low-light object detection.Existing methods struggle to preserve discriminative features while maintaining semantic consistency between low-light and normal-light images.For this purpose,this study proposes a DL-YOLO model specially tailored for low-light detection.To mitigate target feature attenuation introduced by repeated downsampling,we design aMulti-Scale FeatureConvolution(MSF-Conv)module that captures rich,multi-level details via multi-scale feature learning,thereby reducing model complexity and computational cost.For feature fusion,we integrated the C3k2-DWRmodule by embedding the Dilation-wise Residual(DWR)mechanism into the 2-core optimized Cross Stage Partial(C3)framework,achieving efficient feature integration.In addition,we replace conventional localization losses with WIoU(Weighted Intersection over Union),which dynamically adjusts gradient gain according to sample quality,thereby improving localization robustness and precision.Experiments on the ExDark dataset demonstrate that DL-YOLO delivers strong low-light detection performance.The relevant code is published at https://github.com/cym0997/DL-YOLO.

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Objectives This study aimed to explore and clarify the concept of reflective supervision as a professional self-care strategy to create a positive Intensive Care Unit(ICU)practice environment.Methods Walker and Avant’s eight-step concept analysis approach was utilized to identify and define the attributes,antecedents,and consequences of reflective supervision in the ICU.An extensive literature search was conducted across various databases,including Google Scholar,CINAHL,PubMed.Articles published from 2005 to 2025 were identified.We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses(PRISMA)2020 statement to indicate the included articles and extract related data based on relevance.Results Forty articles were included in the analysis.The identified attributes included the supervisor-supervisee relationship,effective communication,teamwork,collaborations,reflection,competencies,feedback,continuous support,and autonomous choice.The identified antecedents included participation,supportive supervision,flexibility,open-door policy,training,and motivation.Consequences impacting the success of reflective supervision were identified as promotion of resiliency,autonomy,work-life balance,self-awareness,increased self-esteem,professional development,critical thinking,increased job satisfaction,and enhanced commitment.Conclusions Reflective supervision is a complex professional self-care strategy that enhances ICU practice,by promoting nurses’well-being,self-awareness,therapeutic skills,and professional development.
文摘In modern industrial production,foreign object detection in complex environments is crucial to ensure product quality and production safety.Detection systems based on deep-learning image processing algorithms often face challenges with handling high-resolution images and achieving accurate detection against complex backgrounds.To address these issues,this study employs the PatchCore unsupervised anomaly detection algorithm combined with data augmentation techniques to enhance the system’s generalization capability across varying lighting conditions,viewing angles,and object scales.The proposed method is evaluated in a complex industrial detection scenario involving the bogie of an electric multiple unit(EMU).A dataset consisting of complex backgrounds,diverse lighting conditions,and multiple viewing angles is constructed to validate the performance of the detection system in real industrial environments.Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves an average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC)of 0.92 and an average F1 score of 0.85.Combined with data augmentation,the proposed model exhibits improvements in AUROC by 0.06 and F1 score by 0.03,demonstrating enhanced accuracy and robustness for foreign object detection in complex industrial settings.In addition,the effects of key factors on detection performance are systematically analyzed,providing practical guidance for parameter selection in real industrial applications.

文摘Understanding the impacts of human activities on the plateau’s living environment is essential for advancing modernization pathways that promote harmony between humanity and nature.However,studies on the dynamic interactions between human activities and the living environment on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau(QXP)remain limited,with a paucity of quantitative relationship analyses.This study established an assessment framework to evaluate human influences on the living environment in QXP,using data on typical human activities,ecological conditions,and human settlements.Within this framework,the spatial analysis methods and the coupling coordination model were used to examine the spatio-temporal characteristics and relationship of human activities and living environment on the QXP from 2000 to 2020.The geographical detector model was then applied to identify the key factors influencing the plateau’s human living environment.Subsequently,the four-quadrant analysis model was adopted to assess human influences on the living environment.The results indicate that the human activity intensity(HAI)on the QXP remained relatively low yet increased by 15.41%from 2000 to 2020.Spatially,the human living environment quality(LEQ)improved from northwest to southeast,with 61.14%of the areas remaining stable and 18.47%experiencing slight improvement.The analysis of coupling coordination revealed a continuous improvement between the HAI and LEQ,with the areas of high and relatively high coordinated types increasing by more than 9%.Precipitation and urban-rural construction were identified as the primary factors influencing changes in the LEQ.The interaction between the HAI and LEQ was strengthening,with 40.44%classified as coordinated development type and 38.35%as development-environment conflict type.These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing the resilience of human settlements and promoting green development across the plateau.

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 Qingtongxia Irrigation District in Ningxia is an important hydrological and ecological region.To assess its ecological environment quality from 2001 to 2021 across multiple scales and identify driving factors,a modified remote sensing ecological index(MRSEI)was developed by incorporating evapotranspiration.Spatial and temporal patterns were analyzed using the coefficient of variation,spatial autocorrelation,and semi-variogram methods,while influencing factors were explored via the optimal parameter geographical detector model.The MRSEI’s first principal component loadings and rankings aligned with those of RSEI(average contribution:81.31%),effectively reflecting spatiotemporal variations.At sub-irrigation district and landscape scales,ecological quality was slightly lower than at the district level but remained stable.Moderate and good ecological grades accounted for 36.28%and 33.38%of the area,respectively,at the district scale,and the moderate grade reached 70.48%on smaller scales.Spatial heterogeneity intensified with decreasing scale,and human activity lost explanatory power below a 5 km range.Human factors mainly drove ecological differentiation at the district scale,while natural factors dominated at finer scales.The MRSEI offers a novel tool for ecological assessment in arid/semi-arid areas and supports scale-adapted ecological protection strategies.

文摘With the rapid development of artificial intelligence,intelligent air combat maneuver decision-making(ACMD)has garnered global attention.Although deep reinforcement learning provides a promising approach to ACMD,existing methods often suffer from rigid reward functions and limited adaptability to evolving adversarial strategies.Moreover,most research assumes open airspace,overlooking the influence of potential obstacles.In this paper,we address one-on-one within-visual-range ACMD in obstructed environments,and propose an improved Soft Actor-Critic(SAC)algorithm trained under a curriculum self-play framework.A maneuver strategy mirroring inference module is integrated to estimate each other's likely positions when visual obstruction occurs.By leveraging curriculum learning to guide progressive experience accumulation and self-play for adversarial evolution,our method enhances both training efficiency and tactical diversity.We further integrate an attention mechanism that dynamically adjusts the weights of sub-rewards,enabling the learned policy to adapt to rapidly changing air combat situations.Numerical simulations demonstrate that our enhanced SAC converges more quickly and achieves higher win rates than other baseline methods.An animation is available at bilibili.com/video/BV1BHVszHE98 for better illustration.

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.
