In Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with communication and computation capabilities can be used as an edge node, which can not only satisfy the user's demand for high computation power and low latency, but also extend the range of computation services and enhance the mission quality in environments with limited communication facilities. In this study, we investigate a UAV-assisted MEC system with stochastic computing tasks. The system seeks to minimize overall energy consumption by optimizing computation offloading, resource allocation, and the UAV's trajectory scheduling. This objective corresponds to a stochastic optimization problem. Given the problem's non-convex nature and the temporal coupling of variables, the Lyapunov optimization method is employed to analyze the task queue, breaking down the original optimization problem into three independent and more manageable subproblems. A joint optimization algorithm with iterative solving is proposed for solving the three sub-problems and then obtaining the stochastic computation offloading, resource allocation, and trajectory scheduling strategy. The simulation results show that the proposed strategy is able to achieve an effective compromise between the system's energy consumption and queue stability by adjusting the Lyapunov parameters, and significantly reduce energy consumption compared to the baseline strategies.

Designing a low-cost and efficient photocatalytic system to produce high-valuable carbonates from the cycloaddition of CO2 by using clean and renewable sunlight as the driving force shows great research potential. Here, a commercially available 4,4''-diamino-p-terphenyl (DT) was directly employed to promote the photocatalytic cycloaddition of CO2 and various epoxides under visible light irradiation. As high as 95 % yield of target carbonate was obtained using blue LED (>450 nm) as a light source for 6 h under solvent-free/atmospheric CO2/ room temperature conditions. Even under irradiation of natural light, a good yield of 68 % carbonate can also be achieved under ambient conditions. Moreover, in situ EPR and a series of controlled experiments were conducted to investigate the plausible photocatalytic mechanism, demonstrating that amino-containing DT with both pi-pi and p-pi conjugated structure provides abundant basic sites and photogenerated electrons/holes as active sites for CO2 activation and ring opening of epoxides at the same time.

Effective recycling and utilization of waste glass is a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed. This study aims to explore the feasibility of using ground waste glass powder (particle size <= 75 mu m) as a supplementary cementitious material to partially replace cement in the preparation of low-carbon and environmentally friendly grouting materials. The research systematically evaluates the impact of waste glass powder (WGP) on the fresh properties (particularly the stability and rheological characteristics) of cement-based grouting materials under various conditions, including WGP content (0-40%), the addition of NaOH activator (Na2O content of 4%) or not, and water-solid ratio (w/s = 0.5, 0.65, 0.8, 1.0). The results indicate that, in the absence of activator, the addition of WGP generally increases the amount of free liquid exudation in the grout, reducing its stability;however, under low w/s ratios, appropriate amounts of WGP can enhance stability. When the w/s ratio is high and the WGP content is large, the grout stability decreases significantly. The addition of NaOH activator (Na2O content of 4%) significantly reduces free liquid exudation, enhancing the stability of the grout, especially when the w/s ratio is less than 1.0. Furthermore, the Herschel-Bulkley Model was experimentally validated to accurately describe the rheological behavior of waste glass-cement slurries, with all R2 values exceeding 0.99. WGP and alkaline activator have significant effects on the rheological properties of the grout. Although they do not change its flow pattern, they significantly affect shear stress and viscosity. The viscosity of the slurry is influenced by the combined effects of w/s ratio, WGP content, and alkaline activator, with complex interactions among the three. The application of these research findings in the field of grouting engineering not only contributes to significantly reducing glass waste but also promotes the production of sustainable cement-ba

Advanced oxidation technology based on persulfate can efficiently remove trace pollutants in water, but there are problems with poor electronic cycling efficiency and metal leaching. In this work, we successfully fabricated in-situ nitrogen doped biochar composite material Fe3C/C by chelating Fe2+ ions with chitosan and carbonizing the precursor. The main active component of Fe3C/C was Fe3C, and nitrogen doping and biochar structure promoted the cycling of Fe2+/Fe3+. The catalyst Fe3C/C exhibits excellent synergistic "adsorption-oxidation" ability, and the removal efficiency of sulfonamide (SA) can reach 80 % (k = 0.1793 min-1). The degradation kinetics, free radical chemistry, and characterization were combined to investigate the synergistic effect of Fe3C and carbon substrate on the generation of persistent free radicals. Fe3C/C is not only an electron donor, but also an electron acceptor and electron transfer carrier. In the Fe3C/C/PMS system, free radical and non-free radical pathways coexist, which makes it suitable for the treatment of various pollutants in complex water matrices. The contribution of defects and pyrrole nitrogen constitutes the synergistic degradation process of free and non-free radicals. In addition, Fe3C/C-3 showed good continuous processing ability and less iron dissolution in the packed column experiment. This work provides theoretical support and technical means for the efficient removal of trace pollutants in water by biochar-based advanced oxidation technology.

In this paper, we consider the following vector-valued minimization problem min{integral(D)(|del u|(2) +F(|u|))dx : u is an element of W-1,W-2(D;Rm) and u = g on partial derivative D } where u : D-* R-m (m >= 1) is a vector-valued function, D subset of R-n (n >= 2) is abounded Lipschitz domain, g is an element of W-1,W-2(D;R-m) is a given vector-valued function and F: [0, oc)-* R is a given function. This minimization problem corresponds to the following semilinear elliptic system Delta u= 1/ 2 F '(|u|) u /chi{|u|>0}, |u| where chi(A) denotes the characteristic function of the set A. The linear case that F '- 2 was studied in the previous elegant work by Andersson et al. (2015) [3], in which an epiperimetric inequality played a crucial role to indicate an energy decay estimate and the uniqueness of blow-up limit. However, this epiperimetric inequality cannot be directly applied to our case due to the more general non-degenerate and non-homogeneous term F which leads to Weiss's energy functional does not have scaling properties. Motivated by the linear case, when F satisfies some assumptions, we establish successfully a new epiperimetric inequality, it can deal with term which is not scaling invariant in Weiss's energy functional. As an application of this new epiperimetric inequality, we conclude that the free boundary D boolean AND partial derivative{|u| > 0} is a locally C-1,C-beta surface near the regular points for some beta is an element of (0, 1).

With the increasing requirement for asphalt modification, a new environmentally friendly asphalt modifier is needed. In this study, three varieties of biomass, cotton seed (CO), camelia seed shell (CA), and coffee ground (CG), were chosen for biochar preparation and asphalt modification to find an environmentally friendly asphalt modifier. A segregation test was applied to evaluate the storage stability of the modified asphalt. A dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) temperature sweep and frequency sweep were used to characterize the high-temperature performance. The low-temperature performance was evaluated by the bending beam rheometer (BBR) test. The DSR results indicate that the rutting factor increase for modified asphalt at high temperatures is CO approximate to CG > CA, and a high temperature could reflect the biochar's properties better in modified asphalt. Furthermore, the low-temperature deterioration is well controlled in CO and CA biochar-modified asphalt. Finally, the volatile organic compound (VOC) emission behavior was evaluated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Inflammatory caspases (1/4/5) are key effectors in the process of pyroptosis by cleaving and activating the pore-forming protein gasdermin D (GSDMD). Unlike other caspases whose substrates have been well characterized, the substrates for caspase-4, which mediate noncanonical pyroptosis, remain poorly understood. Here, we combined noncanonical amino acids, photo-crosslinking, and proteomics to profile caspase-4 substrates, enabling the capture of transient protein interactions with activated caspase-4. A set of new substrates were identified by photo-crosslinking mass spectrometry, revealing the signaling pathway and biological process affected by pyroptosis. Notably, we found that AKT1 is cleaved at D108, which removes its autoinhibition and membrane localization domain, resulting in the release of activated AKT1. Our results also showed the precursor of caspase-5/12 could be cleaved by caspase-4 to form the p20/p10 active conformation, uncovering a previously unrecognized pyroptotic caspase cascade. Overall, this study presents an approach for identifying caspase-4 substrates and offers further understanding of noncanonical pyroptosis.
