Spillway tunnels are a key structure in large-scale water conservancies. The high-head water inlet makes the water surface-velocity extremely high, and the air is driven by the free surface of the water to move downstream. This paper studies the air velocity distribution above the water surface through the model tests, under the assumption that the airflow is a turbulent boundary layer with a rough interface, and the influence of the water depth and the water velocity on the air velocity distribution is analyzed. It is shown that the air velocity is in an exponential distribution. As the measured position moves upward, the air velocity gradually decreases, and the gradient decreases. When the water depth increases, the air velocity increases but with the same distribution form. With the increase of the water surface-velocity, the air velocity at the same measuring point increases, the variation range near the water surface is large, the air boundary layer height increases slightly, and the index coefficient of the air velocity distribution function decreases. Through numerical fitting, the calculation formula of the air boundary layer thickness at different water surface velocities is obtained, along with the numerical value of the index coefficient.

LaMnO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by citric acid complex sol-gel method and used to degrade rhodamine B (RhB) in water. The effects of initial pH value, LaMnO3 dosage, RhB concentration and disrupter agents on the degradation of RhB were investigated. We found that LaMnO3 exhibits an excellent degradation ability of RhB in high acidic conditions without additional oxidants or light irradiation and can achieve 99.7% degradation efficiency for RhB and 65.8% for total organic carbon. This result showed that LaMnO3 itself provides an effective oxidative system to degrade RhB. Furthermore, a reasonable degradation pathway of RhB was proposed, including N-de-ethylation, chromophore cleavage, opening-ring, and mineralization. Finally, LaMnO3 samples before and after the reaction were characterized by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It is found that LaMnO3 can maintain perovskite structure in the degradation of RhB. Mn ions in LaMnO3 provides active center and plays a role of electron transfer during RhB degradation.

Ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steel is considered as one of the most promising cladding materials for Lead-cooling fast reactors due to its favorable mechanical properties and radiation resistance. Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process can further improve the mechanical properties of the F/M steels compared to conventional normalizing and tempering or quenching and tempering process. In this study, the Q&P process was employed to 9Cr F/M steels with different Si content (0, 0.4, 0.7, 1 wt.%), and the effect of Si content on their microstructure and mechanical properties was studied. The microstructure was characterized through SEM, EBSD, and TEM. The mechanical properties at room and elevated temperatures (500, 600, 700 degrees C) were tested. The results indicated that the addition of Si (0 to 1 wt.%) leads to a slight decrease in the ultimate tensile strength (UTS)/yield strength (YS) of the F/M steel at room temperature from 1328.3/986.5 MPa to 1300.7/950.7 MPa, respectively. Meanwhile, the fracture elongation (FE) maintains at about 16%. Additionally, as the Si content increases from 0 to 1 wt.%, the UTS and YS of the samples at elevated temperatures show a similar trend. However, the FE of the samples initially increases at 500 degrees C, noticeably decreases at 600 degrees C, and eventually rises at 700 degrees C. Only the FE at 600 degrees C was lower compared to that at room temperature. Furthermore, the UTS and YS of the samples decrease with increasing temperature. Although Si addition brings a higher solid solution strengthening effect, it is offset by the coarsening of block size and the formation of delta-ferrite. As a result, a little change in the strength of the steel is obtained.

Affected by extreme hot and dry weather events, the power supplied by hydropower is seriously insufficient in sichuan province during the summer of 2022, causing severe power shortage and incalculable economic losses for the society. Therefore, a novel multi-objective scheduling model based on grid-connected hydro-wind-solar-battery energy resources combining flexible reserves is proposed to collaboratively guarantee the power supply reliability of both the contracted long-distance power transmission and the local electricity demand under extreme hot and dry weather. The intermittent nature of water inflow, wind speed, solar irradiance, and load is considered, and the multi-scenarios are produced using Latin Hypercube Sampling method. In this work, thermal plants are regarded as flexible reserves for easing the load shedding level of local load. The McCormick's En-velope method is implemented to linearize the power production model of the hydropower station. A multi-objective model, including minimum penalty cost of load shedding and carbon dioxide emission, is proposed to achieve the economic-environmental equilibrium of the power system. The proposed multi-objective optimal hybrid energy complementary strategy is transformed into a single objective model via epsilon-constraint method, and the fuzzy satisfying method is introduced to select the best compromise solution in the Pareto Front. The meteorological information of the summer of 2022 is collected to verify the effectiveness of this proposed mixed-integer-linear-programming energy complementary model based on a hydropower station on the Jinsha River in sichuan province, China. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed model is efficient and can enhance the reliability of real-world power systems under extreme hot and dry weather. A set of policy sug-gestions have been provided for sichuan province to develop the power grid to face the extreme weather effect.

Sulfoxides are essential in pharmaceuticals and chemicals, yet traditional thioether oxidation struggles with selectivity and sustainability. This study introduces carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) as effective photocatalysts for ecofriendly thioether to sulfoxide oxidation, using water and ethanol to enhance reaction selectivity and efficiency under 455 nm blue light. These catalysts not only show remarkable efficacy under mild conditions but also display high selectivity for sulfoxide formation, proving versatile across a broad range of substrates. We further elucidated the catalytic mechanism, confirming the predominant roles of singlet oxygen and superoxide anions through both spectroscopic evidence and quenching experiments. The method extends to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals such as oxfendazole, albendazole sulfoxide, and sulindac, highlighting its practical utility. Overall, our findings present a sustainable and efficient avenue for sulfoxide synthesis, thereby broadening the practical utility of CPDs in photocatalytic transformations.

Credible property exploration or prediction can not be achieved without well-established compositions and structures of catalysts under working conditions. We construct surrogate models via combination of machine learning (ML), genetic algorithm (GA) and ab initio thermodynamics (AITD) to accelerate global optimization of PtSn binary metal oxides, which are typically used for CO2-assisted propane dehydrogenation to propylene. This challenging case illustrates that the subtle oxidized states of PtSnO clusters can be predicted in a large chemical space including a wide range of reaction conditions. The oxidation patterns, phase diagrams and atomic charge distributions of the PtSnO clusters have been discussed. The Sn decorating mechanism to Pt in PtSnO has been explained. These results also indicate that the oxidation of PtSn clusters is more feasible under working conditions, and that previous understanding obtained only with a fully reduced PtSn alloy may be incomplete.

A method for generation of SVI sulfones from beta-sulfinyl esters (SIV) under transition-metal-free non-oxidative mild conditions is presented. Various sulfones have been achieved with moderate to excellent yields. The advantage of using beta-sulfinyl esters as masked aryl sulfinates has also been exemplified using brominated substrates. Oxygen isotope-labeling experiments indicated that the oxygen atoms incorporated into the sulfone product come from the sulfoxide of the beta-sulfinyl ester. Successive beta-elimination/O-addition/sulfinate esterification/beta-elimination processes are proposed for the mechanism of generating SVI from SIV. A method for generation of SVI sulfones from beta-sulfinyl esters (SIV) under transition-metal-free non-oxidative mild conditions is presented.

Maintenance of stable mitochondrial respiratory chains could enhance adaptability to high temperature, but the potential mechanism was not elucidated clearly in plants. In this study, we identified and isolated a TrFQR1 gene encoding the flavodoxin-like quinone reductase 1 (TrFQR1) located in mitochondria of leguminous white clover (Trifolium repens). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that amino acid sequences of FQR1 in various plant species showed a high degree of similarities. Ectopic expression of TrFQR1 protected yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) from heat damage and toxic levels of benzoquinone, phenanthraquinone and hydroquinone. Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and white clover overexpressing TrFQR1 exhibited significantly lower oxidative damage and better photosynthetic capacity and growth than wild-type in response to high-temperature stress, whereas AtFQR1-RNAi A. thaliana showed more severe oxidative damage and growth retardation under heat stress. TrFQR1-transgenic white clover also maintained better respiratory electron transport chain than wild-type plants, as manifested by significantly higher mitochondrial complex II and III activities, alternative oxidase activity, NAD(P)H content, and coenzyme Q10 content in response to heat stress. In addition, overexpression of TrFQR1 enhanced the accumulation of lipids including phosphatidylglycerol, monogalactosyl diacylglycerol, sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol and cardiolipin as important compositions of bilayers involved in dynamic membrane assembly in mitochondria or chloroplasts positively associated with heat tolerance. TrFQR1-transgenic white clover also exhibited higher lipids saturation level and phosphatidylcholine:phosphatidylethanolamine ratio, which could be beneficial to membrane stability and integrity during a prolonged period of heat stress. The current study proves that TrFQR1 is essential for heat tolerance associated with mitochondrial respiratory chain, cellular reactive oxygen species homeostas
