Some research indicates that since the 1980s human demands on the biosphere have exceeded its regen-errative capacity. One way to solve this problem is to minimize the inappropriate ex-ploitation from environment. This essay wil focus on energy self-sustained project, which is a specific way to reduce energy requirements. Energy self-sustained project refers to that energy production is equal to the amount consumed. Three concepts are quoted in the fol-lowing to assess whether the project achieve zero-energy or not. First, ecological footprint, which provides an indication of the human load on the biosphere, is uti-lized to measure the inputs and outputs of the bioregion, which is also beneficial for defining the potential energy. Another one is life cycle assessment, which evaluates environmental load that relates to the entire life periodic system of a product, is helpful to measure the products used in the energy self sustained project. In addi-tion, net energy, and gross resource abundance, definitions for selection, or hierar-chy of different energy resources, can evaluate the new energy resources in project. Geos Neighbourhood, located in colorado, was planned as the largest net-zero energy neighbourhood in the United States. To meet the energy self sustainability, earth and sun power completely sustain the community＇s energy needs, and re-place al fossil fuels. Compared with the traditional communities, Geos Neighbour-hood minimize the adverse impact on the environment. As tools for assessment, ecological footprint, life circle assessment, and net energy, are al used to analyse the planning and design principles in the neighbourhood. By the research, the de-sign principles and energy use in Geos Neighbourhood wil be re-examined that whether the zero energy project achieves the reduction of ecological footprint, and energy self sustainability. In addition, life circle assessment wil re-examine the ma-terials used in the community also. Final y, the concept of ＇net energy＇ wil test solar energy and earth power which is the major energy used in Geos Neighbour-hood.展开更多

A 46-year-old man presented with protruded sharp swelling left side of neck, X-rays and CT scan of the neck showed a needle migrating from the pyriform fossa to the skin. Carotid angiography was also done to see the relations of foreign body with great vessels. Transcutaneous removal of foreign body was done under general anesthesia. The migrated foreign body was a sewing needle which patient unknowingly swallowed two days back. Migrated ingested foreign bodies from the upper digestive tract have the potential to cause life-threatening complications. Cases of spontaneous expulsion of ingested foreign bodies to the skin of the neck are quite rare.展开更多

It is seen that this method increases the binding force between LSR and PBT. The surfaces coated with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Cr, Ni, etc. have excellent peeling with plastic and such surfaces are compared with those treated with hot forging die and micro blasting without coating. When peeling tests are performed at the specified polymerization temperature and molding time after LSR molding on these surfaces of hot working die molds without coating, these surfaces show excellent peeling of molds and LSR products. In particular, they show better peeling after micro blasting than surfaces with Cr and Ni coating as well as surfaces without coating, and the peeling strength also decreases. The results of contact angle and XPS analysis indicate that the LSR binding force is enhanced as an effect of catalysts, though it is not found by SEM. According to the XPS analysis, the structures of the surfaces are close to methyl and vinyl materials that are produced while LSR molding.展开更多

High‐entropy energy, such as micro‐wind, vibrations, water motion, and human activity, is widely available but difficult to harness due to its low density, randomness, and spatiotemporal fragmentation. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), with high efficiency to low‐frequency and irregular mechanical stimuli, offer a promising solution for efficient energy harvesting, driving the advancement of SPSs with high‐entropy distribution. This review outlines the basic concepts and recent developments of TENG‐driven SPSs, focusing on strategies for energy harvesting, power management, and system integration. It highlights structural optimization and performance enhancement under typical highentropy scenarios and analyzes key challenges in energy conversion, power regulation, and load management. Finally, the potential applications of TENG‐driven SPSs are discussed in emerging smart fields such as infrastructure monitoring, lowaltitude economy, mobile intelligent devices, and ocean sensing networks.展开更多

文摘In order to identify the tilt direction of the self-mixing signals under weak feedback regime interfered by noise,a deep learning method is proposed.The one-dimensional U-Net(1D U-Net)neural network can identify the direction of the self-mixing fringes accurately and quickly.In the process of measurement,the measurement signal can be normalized and then the neural network can be used to discriminate the direction.Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method is suitable for self-mixing interference signals with noise in the whole weak feedback regime,and can maintain a high discrimination accuracy for signals interfered by 5 dB large noise.Combined with fringe counting method,accurate and rapid displacement reconstruction can be realized.
