This study presents an incorporation and application of a two-dimensional, unstructured-grid hydrodynamic model with a suspended sediment transport module in Daishan, China. The model is verified with field measurement data from 2017: water level, flow velocities and suspended sediment concentration (SSC). In the application on the Daishan, the performance of the hydrodynamic model has been satisfactorily validated against observed variations of available measurement stations. Coupled with the hydrodynamic model, a sediment transport model has been developed and tested. The simulations agreed quantitatively with the observations. The validated model was applied to the construction of breakwaters and docks under a different plan. The model can calculate the flow field and siltation situation under different breakwater settings. After we have analyzed the impact of existing breakwater layout schemes and sediment transport, a reasonable plan will be selected. The results show that the sea area near the north of Yanwo Shan and Dongken Shan has a large flow velocity exceeding 2.0 m/s and the flow velocity within the isobath of 5 m is small, within 0.6 m/s. According to the sediment calculation, the dock project is feasible. However, the designed width of the fairway should be increased to ensure the navigation safety of the ship according to variation characteristics of cross flow velocity in channel.

The high-temperature molten-salt method is an important inorganic synthetic route to a wide variety of morphological phenotypes. However, its utility is limited by the fact that it is typically incapable of producing ultrathin (<5 nm diameter) nanowires, which have a crucial role in novel nanotechnology applications. Herein, a rapid molten salt-based synthesis of sub-5-nm-sized nanowires of hexagonal tungsten oxide (h-WO3) that is critically dependent on a substantial proportion of molybdenum (Mo) dopant is described. This dopant-driven morphological transition in tungsten oxide (WO3) may be attributable to the collapse of layered structure, followed by nanocluster aggregation, coalescence, and recrystallization to form ultrathin nanowires. Interestingly, due to the structural properties of h-WO3, the thus-formed ultrathin nanowires are demonstrated to be excellent photocatalysts for the production of ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen (N-2) and water. The ultrathin nanowires exhibit a high photocatalytic NH3-production activity with a rate of 370 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) and an apparent quantum efficiency of 0.84% at 420 nm, which is more than twice that obtained from the best-performing Mo-doped W18O49 nanowire catalysts. It is envisaged that the dopant replacement-driven synthetic protocol will allow for rapid access to a series of ultrathin nanostructures with intriguing properties and increase potential applications.

Under the background of energy internet, a large influx of market entities participates in the interaction of 'source network and load storage' and becomes an important resource for system regulation through the electricity marketization. Among them, the virtual power plant involves several market participators such as the distributed generation, demand side adjustable resources, distributed energy storage. The research of the operation mechanism and market-oriented trading organization for the virtual power plant becomes a popular topic in recent years. This paper proposes a novel mechanism for virtual power plants to participate in the electricity trading market, including the trading categories and auxiliary service which can be provided by the virtual power plant.

In a heavy-fermion system, the competition between the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction and the Kondo effect determines the ground-state properties, including superconductivity, magnetic orderings, and non-Fermi-liquid states. However, the temperature-dependent development of this competition remains unclear, particularly within the framework of ferromagnetic ground states. Here, the electronic structure and heavy quasiparticle band properties are exhaustively studied in CeNiSb2, a prototypical ferromagnetic Kondo lattice, using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our measurements reveal the three-dimensional electronic structure and Fermi surface topologies in CeNiSb2. The discrepancy of the quasiparticle bands along the Γ-M direction indicates band-dependent hybridization between the f electrons and conduction electrons (c−f hybridization), which may arise from differences in the conduction-band properties. The intensity of the quasiparticle band increases monotonically with decreasing temperature and deviates from the Kondo-like behavior at low temperature. This evolution provides a comprehensive picture of how the RKKY interaction and the Kondo effect develop and influence the behavior of f electrons across the temperature range. Our experimental results offer a spectroscopic study of the quasiparticle band and its temperature-dependent evolution in CeNiSb2, which may be crucial for understanding the underlying physics in heavy fermion compounds.

Thallium (Tl) is a trace metal of severe toxicity. Its health concerns via consumption of contaminated vegetables have often been overlooked or underestimated. This study was designed to gain insight into the actual level and distribution characteristics of Tl and metal (loid)s (Pb, Cd, Cr, Sb, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, and Co) in agricultural soils and common vegetables cultivated in different zones (upstream, midstream, and downstream) of a densely populated residential area in a typical mine city, which has been open-pit exploiting Tl-bearing pyrite minerals since 1960s. The results show that most of the agricultural soils exhibit contaminated levels of Tl, with Tl contents (upstream: 1.35-4.31 mg/kg, midstream: 2.43 -5.19 mg/kg, and downstream: 0.65-233 mg/kg) mostly exceeding the maximum permissible level (MPL) for agricultural land use (1 mg/kg). Sequential extraction procedure indicates that even Tl is predominantly retained in the residual fraction, significant levels of Tl are still present in the geochemically mobile fractions. Besides, metals like Cu, Cd, Mn, and Co are mostly distributed in the labile fractions. Almost all metal (loid)s in edible parts of the vegetables exceed their corresponding MPL for consumption. The chronic daily intake (CDI) and hazard quotient (HQ) values calculated for inhabitants at different ages indicate non-negligible Tl risks via consumption of local vegetables, especially for children. Therefore, it is critical to establish effective measures for hazardous waste management and enforceable regulations in Tl-polluted area to mitigate potential severe impacts of Tl on human health through food chain.
