Using a high-resolution UAV with a 20 MP (MegaPixels) sensor, four images of a brick wall test field were captured and processed in Agisoft Metashape, with resolutions compared against Leica T2002 theodolite measurements (1.0 mm accuracy). Advanced statistical methods (ANOVA (analysis of variance), Tukey tests, Monte Carlo simulations) and ground control points validated the results. Accuracy improved from 25 mm at 50 PPI to 5 mm at 150 PPI (p < 0.01), plateauing at 4 mm beyond 200 PPI, while 150 PPI reduced processing time by 62% compared to 300 PPI. Unlike prior studies, this research uniquely isolates resolution effects in a controlled civil engineering context, offering a novel 150 PPI threshold that balances precision and efficiency. This threshold supports Saudi Vision 2030’s smart infrastructure goals for megaprojects like NEOM, providing a scalable framework for global applications. Future research should leverage deep learning to optimize resolutions in dynamic environments.展开更多

文摘Considering the special features of dynamic environment economic dispatch of power systems with high dimensionality,strong coupling,nonlinearity,and non-convexity,a GA-DE multi-objective optimization algorithm based on dual-population pseudo-parallel genetic algorithm-differential evolution is proposed in this paper.The algorithm is based on external elite archive and Pareto dominance,and it adopts the cooperative co-evolution mechanism of differential evolution and genetic algorithm.Average entropy and cubic chaoticmapping initialization strategies are proposed to increase population diversity.In the proposed method,we analyze the distribution of neighboring solutions and apply a new Pareto solution set pruning approach.Unlike traditional models,this work takes the transmission losses as an optimization target and overcomes complex model constraints through a dynamic relaxation constraint approach.To solve the uncertainty caused by integrating wind and photovoltaic energy in power system scheduling,a multi-objective dynamic environment economical dispatch model is set up that takes the system spinning reserve and network highest losses into account.In this paper,the DE algorithm is improved to form the DGAGE algorithm for the objective optimization of the overall power system,The DE algorithm part of DGAGE is combined with the JAYA algorithm to form the system scheduling HDJ algorithm for multiple energy sources connected to the grid.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using CEC2022 and CEC2005 test functions,showing robust optimization performance.Validation on a classical 10-unit system confirms the feasibility of the proposed algorithm in addressing power system scheduling issues.This approach provides a novel solution for dynamic power dispatch systems.
文摘This study provides the first systematic evaluation of image resolution’s effect (50-300 PPI, pixels per inch) on UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)-based digital close-range photogrammetry accuracy in civil engineering applications, such as infrastructure monitoring and heritage preservation. Using a high-resolution UAV with a 20 MP (MegaPixels) sensor, four images of a brick wall test field were captured and processed in Agisoft Metashape, with resolutions compared against Leica T2002 theodolite measurements (1.0 mm accuracy). Advanced statistical methods (ANOVA (analysis of variance), Tukey tests, Monte Carlo simulations) and ground control points validated the results. Accuracy improved from 25 mm at 50 PPI to 5 mm at 150 PPI (p < 0.01), plateauing at 4 mm beyond 200 PPI, while 150 PPI reduced processing time by 62% compared to 300 PPI. Unlike prior studies, this research uniquely isolates resolution effects in a controlled civil engineering context, offering a novel 150 PPI threshold that balances precision and efficiency. This threshold supports Saudi Vision 2030’s smart infrastructure goals for megaprojects like NEOM, providing a scalable framework for global applications. Future research should leverage deep learning to optimize resolutions in dynamic environments.
文摘Mining activities are often associated with significant environmental degradation,particularly due to the accumulation of mine tailings(MTs).These waste materials are frequently stored in dams or open ponds without adequate treatment,posing serious risk of heavy metals(HMs)contamination to surrounding ecosystems.Given these challenges,restoration of MTs to mitigate their negative impacts has become highly important.This study attempts to compile different types of MTs,their characteristics,and associated issues such as acid mine drainage(AMD)and HMs contamination,along with other environmental impacts.It also explores the fundamentals of phytoremediation,highlighting key processes,recent advancements,benefits,limitations,and strategies for post-harvest management.The findings indicate that MTs are a major source of HM pollution and contribute significantly to environmental deterioration.Phytoremediation has emerged as a promising,cost-effective,and eco-friendly solution for MT restoration.In addition to mitigating contamination,phytoremediation enhances soil quality,prevents erosion,reduces HM leaching into groundwater,and improves the visual appeal of degraded sites.Research suggests that revegetating MT-contaminated soils with specific plant species can effectively remediate these areas,reducing HM leaching risks while improving soil properties.This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers working on MT restoration,offering insights into the latest advancements in phytoremediation technology and its potential to address the environmental challenges posed by MTs.

文摘This study comprehensively investigates the degradation performance and mechanism of environmental persistent pollutants(EPs)by combining experimental and theoretical calculations with dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)plasma synergized with persulfate.The findings demonstrated that DBD plasma could generate reactive radicals,including·OH,^(1)O_(2) and·O_(2)^(-),which primarily activate persulfate through OH and·O_(2)^(-)to produce the potent oxidizing radical SO_4^(-).This process facilitated enhanced degradation and mineralization of MeP wastewater.The performance of DBD/persulfute(PS)in degrading MeP was evaluated by kinetics,energy efficiency,and co-factor calculations,combined with degradation under different influencing factors.The actives in the system were analyzed by free radical scavenging assays and UV spectrophotometric testing to determine their effects.The findings indicated that persulfate was effectively activated by DBD plasma and that·O_(2)^(-)played a significant role.The presence of persulfate elevated the levels of H_(2)O_(2) and O_(3) in the solution.The intermediates formed during the degradation of MeP were detected using LC-MS and then analyzed alongside density-functional theory(DFT)chemical predictions to anticipate the reactive sites and deduce the potential degradation pathways of methylparaben(MeP).Toxicity evaluation software confirmed that the PS/DBD system reduces acute and developmental toxicity in the water column.The study showed that DBD plasma-activated persulfate was successful in addre ssing newly identified contaminants.
文摘Photocatalytic hydrogen(H_(2))production using solar energy is a cutting-edge green technology that holds great potential for addressing the urgent fuel and environmental crises[1–3].To achieve high-efficiency H_(2) production,cocatalyst modification is commonly employed to provide active sites for the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)[4,5].In this context,the kinetics of hydrogen adsorption and desorption at these active sites play a crucial role in enhancing overall photocatalytic H_(2) production efficiency.However,the H adsorption/desorption kinetics often exhibit a trade-off,presenting a significant challenge in achieving an optimal equilibrium between Hads and Hdes in many cocatalyst systems.Therefore,fine-tuning the active sites to optimize the H_(2) evolution kinetics is essential for improving photocatalytic activity[6].
文摘This comprehensive review synthesizes findings from the studies conducted for more than two decades to assess en-vironmental and human health impacts near Spain's first hazardous waste incinerator(HWI)located in Constantí(Tarra-gona,Catalonia).Through integrated analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans(PCDD/Fs)and metals across soil,vegetation,human tissues,and dietary matrices,the studies have shown:(1)PCDD/F concentrations decreased 75-96%in biological samples and dietary intake over 20 years,aligning with global emission reductions rather than HWI-4 operations;(2)metal trajectories showed arsenic intermittently exceeding carcinogenic thresholds in soils(1.1×10^(-4) risk index)and chromium accumulating in autopsy tissues(+16% in kidney),although without HWI-specific spatial gradi-ents;(3)systemic biomarkers revealed policy-driven declines—blood lead dropped 70% post-EU regulations,while mer-cury became undetectable in tissues post-2010.Health risk assessments confirmed that PCDD/F intake(0.122 pg WHO-TEQ/kg/day)remained still below WHO thresholds,with no attributable cancer risks for metals except legacy arsenic.The studies included in the program of surveillance show that PCDD/Fs and metals emissions by the HWI have meant a rather low contribution to population exposure to metals and PCDD/Fs compared to dietary and historical sources.How-ever,residual risks warrant attention.It mainly concerns chromium speciation and arsenic in soils,as well as the effects on vulnerable subpopulations and the synergistic effects among toxicants.Epidemiological studies are also required.

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.

文摘PM_(1.0),particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 1.0μm,can adversely affect human health.However,fewer stations are capable of measuring PM_(1.0) concentrations than PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in real time(i.e.,only 9 locations for PM_(1.0) vs.623 locations for PM2.5 or PM10)in South Korea,making it impossible to conduct a nationwide health risk analysis of PM_(1.0).Thus,this study aimed to develop a PM_(1.0) prediction model using a random forest algorithm based on PM_(1.0) data from the nine measurement stations and various environmental input factors.Cross validation,in which the model was trained in eight stations and tested in the remaining station,achieved an average R^(2) of 0.913.The high R^(2) value achieved undermutually exclusive training and test locations in the cross validation can be ascribed to the fact that all the locations had similar relationships between PM_(1.0) and the input factors,which were captured by our model.Moreover,results of feature importance analysis showed that PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations were the two most important input features in predicting PM_(1.0) concentration.Finally,the model was used to estimate the PM_(1.0) concentrations in 623 locations,where input factors such as PM2.5 and PM10 can be obtained.Based on the augmented profile,we identified Seoul and Ansan to be PM_(1.0) concentration hotspots.These regions are large cities or the center of anthropogenic and industrial activities.The proposed model and the augmented PM_(1.0) profiles can be used for large epidemiological studies to understand the health impacts of PM_(1.0).
文摘The development of solid frustrated Lewis pairs(FLPs)catalysts with porous structures is a promising strategy for advancing green hydrogenation technologies and has garnered significant attention.Leveraging the diverse oxidation states and structural tunability of cerium-based metal-organic frameworks(Ce-MOFs),this study employed a competitive coordination strategy utilizing a single carboxylate functional group ligand to construct a series of MOF-808-X(X=-NH_(2),-OH,-Br,and-NO_(2))featuring rich solid-state FLPs for hydrogenation of unsaturated olefins.The-X functional group serves as a microenvironment,enhancing hydrogenation activity by modulating the electronic properties and acid-base characteristics of the FLP sites.The unique redox properties of elemental cerium facilitate the exposure of unsaturated Ce sites(Ce-CUS,Lewis acid(LA))and adjacent Ce-OH(Lewis base(LB))sites within the MOFs,generating abundant solid-state FLP(Ce-CUS/Ce-OH)sites.Experimental results demonstrate that Ce-CUS and Ce-OH interact with theσandσ^(*)orbitals of H-H,and this"push-pull"synergy promotes heterolytic cleavage of the H-H bond.The lone pair electrons of the electron-donating functional group are transmitted through the molecular backbone to the LB site,thereby increasing its strength and reducing the activation energy required for H_(2)heterolytic cleavage.Notably,at 100℃and 2 MPa H_(2),MOF-808-NH_(2)achieves complete conversion of styrene and dicyclopentadiene,significantly outperforming MOF-808.Based on in-situ analysis and density functional theory calculations,a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.This research enriches the theoretical framework for unsaturated olefin hydrogenation catalysts and contributes to the development of efficient catalytic systems.

文摘Given the urgency of organic pollutant removal and the low efficiency of advanced oxidation processes(AOPs),a novel Bi-ZFO/BMO-Vo photocatalyst was fabricated via the solvothermal method.A coupling system was constructed to combine photocatalysis with peroxymonosulfate(PMS)oxidation processes,which synergistically degrade organic pollutants.Bi-ZFO/BMO-Vo exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance,which could remove 100%RhB in 110 min and degrade 100%MG in 70 min,and 88%H-TC in 50 min.The excellent catalytic performance of Bi-ZFO/BMO-Vo was not only attributed to the synergistic effect of PMS activation and photocatalysis,but also attributed to the SPR effect of Bi nanoparticles,electron capture of oxygen vacancies,and intense contact of Bi-ZFO/BMO-Vo heterojunctions.The active species capture experiments and EPR tests indicated that1 O_(2),SO_(4)^(-)·,·OH,and O_(2)^(-)·worked together for the RhB removal.The degradation intermediates of RhB were identified by LC-MS.Based on the experimental results,the band structure and Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism were proposed.Toxicity evaluation indicated that Bi-ZFO/BMO-Vo-Vis/PMS could significantly reduce RhB toxicity.This efficient and stable catalyst is expected to be used in organic wastewater degradation and practical applications.

文摘Most studies have shown that oxygen vacancies on Ce_(x)Zr_(1-x)O_(2) solid solution are important for enhancing the catalytic oxidation performance.However,a handful of studies investigated the different roles of surface and subsurface oxygen vacancies on the performance and mechanisms of catalysts.Herein,a series of zirconium doping on CeO_(2) samples(CeO_(2),Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2),and Ce_(0.8)5Zr_(0.15)O_(2))with various surface-to-subsurface oxygen vacancies ratios have been synthesized and applied in toluene catalytic oxidation.The obtained Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2) exhibits an excellent catalytic performance with a 90%toluene conversion at 295℃,which is 68℃lower than that of CeO_(2).Additionally,the obtained Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2)catalyst also exhibited good catalytic stability and water resistance.The XRD and HRTEM results show that Zr ions are incorporated into CeO_(2) lattice,forming Ce_(x)Zr_(1-x)O_(2) solid solution.Temperature-programmed experiments reveal that Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2) shows excellent lowtemperature reducibility and abundant surface oxygen species.In-situ DRIFTS tests were used to probe the reaction mechanism,and the function of Zr doping in promoting the activation of oxygen was further determined.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations indicate that the vacancy formation energy and O_(2) adsorption energy are both lower on Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2),confirming the reason for its superior catalytic performance.
文摘This study explores,for the first time,the influence of various C1 gases,such as methane(CH_(4)),carbon dioxide(CO_(2)),and biogas(CH4+CO_(2)),on catalytic pyrolysis of plastic waste(polypropylene)to evaluate their potential in producing aromatic hydrocarbons.Also,this study used the 0.5 wt%,1 wt%,3 wt%,and 5 wt%Ga-modified ZSM-5 catalyst and its reduction-oxidation processed catalysts owing to their promising catalytic properties.According to the results,the highest yield(39.5 wt%)of BTEX(benzene,toluene,xylene,and ethylbenzene)was achieved under CH4 over RO-GHZ(1)catalyst among all tested conditions.The reduction-oxidation process not only promotes a significant reduction of the Ga-size but also induces its diffusion inside the pore,compared to GHZ(1).This leads to the formation of highly active GaO^(+)ionic species,balancing the Lewis/Brönsted ratio,thereby accelerating the aromatization reaction.The effect of Ga loading on the RO-GHZ catalyst was also evaluated systematically,which showed a negative impact on the BTEX yield owing to the lowering in the concentration of active GaO+species.A detailed catalyst characterization supports the experimental results well.

文摘As the main component of electronic products,plastics contain complex and diverse metal additives.Recycling process is not conducive to stable existence of metal additives in electronic plastics.Once the e-waste plastics enter the environment,they will continue to release harmful metals into environment after aging,causing serious hazards.This study delved into the analysis and comparison of metal content of e-waste plastics,elucidating aging process and metal leaching behavior over a 112-day natural light exposure period.The findings underscored that metal content in recycled plastics surpassed that in their new counterparts.Specifically,Ti content in new plastics remained below 100 mg/kg,while recycled plastics exhibited Ti content surpassing 100 mg/kg threshold.Throughout prolonged natural light exposure,metals such as Zn,Ba and Sb demonstrated a heightened likelihood of release from electronic plastics in comparison to other metals.The aging process during light exposure led to fragmentation of electronic plastics,accompanied by a reduction in particle size.Notably,the particle size reduction was more pronounced in poly acrylonitrile butadiene styrene(ABS)and recycled ABS,experiencing reductions of 40µm and 85µm,respectively.This phenomenon was attributed to the presence of polybutadiene structural units,which proved more susceptible to aging.Along with the breaking of plastics,the ABS plastics released metal species such as Pb,Cd,Ni,Al that had not been detected in other plastics solutions.The collective evidence from this study suggested that ABS and recycled ABS electronic plastics might pose a heightened potential environmental risk compared to other electronic plastics.
