In recent years, photovoltaic (PV) solar energy has played a crucial role in the global transition toward renewable energy, contributing to 46% of the electric capacity. It has emerged as a primary source;however, optimizing energy utilization and solar panel efficiency to maximize absorbed solar radiation remains a significant challenge. Additionally, it addresses the optimization of solar energy generation and the mitigation of potential overheating issues in dual-axis solar tracking systems. Despite its importance, PV power generation is hindered by uncertainty and intermittency, posing obstacles to achieving a stable and reliable power supply. This research introduces an innovative synthesis method for a typical solar radiation year (TSRY) based on K-means clustering to maximize energy harvest. The K-means algorithm, a fundamental image processing technique, is utilized to classify images into distinct groups. This approach enhances energy generation potential, panel efficiency, and the long-term sustainability of solar energy systems compared to conventional methods.

Middle and heavy rare earth elements and yttrium (MHREYs) are critical to the high-tech and green-energy industries, generating tremendous supply risk in recent decades. Recently, sedimentary phosphorites have been identified as a new resource for MHREYs. The Early Cambrian is considered one of the critical large-scale phosphorus-forming periods in china and globally. During this period, widespread large-scale phosphorites mainly occurred at shelf, while small-scale phosphate concretions predominantly existed in near-slope settings on the Yangtze Block, South china. However, multi controls for ore-forming mechanism of extraordinary REYs enrichment in phosphorites have not been well constrained, limiting the understanding of the formation of large-scale phosphorites at shelf. To better understand the REYs enrichment in phosphorite, the REYs-rich Kunyang phosphorite, the largest phosphorite in shelf environment on the Yangtze Block, was investigated through mineralogy, in-situ geochemistry of major and trace elements in francolites. Based on the mineral characteristics, four types of phosphorite and four types of wall rocks were divided, which can be grouped into high-REYs (435–717 ppm) and low-REYs (224–282 ppm) categories. Comparing the geochemical characteristics of high-REYs and low-REYs groups, multi-mechanisms of REYs enrichment can be supposed. Frequent Fe redox cycling and related suboxic conditions may be responsible for the extraordinary REYs enrichment in phosphorites. In high-energy hydrodynamic systems with a low sedimentation rate, prolonged deposition of francolite enhanced the effects of adsorption and substitution in the early and late diagenetic stages, respectively, significantly increasing REYs uptake. Moreover, in the inner-shelf environment, wave fluctuations and storm effects are significant, leading to extensive diagenetic reworking, which form extremely high REYs contents in the altered rims of francolite. The negative Eu anomalies in the high

Plant-specific homeodomain-leucine zipper I (HD-Zip I) transcription factors (TFs) crucially regulate plant drought tolerance. However, their specific roles in maize (Zea mays L.) regulating drought tolerance remain largely unreported. Here, we screened a maize HD-Zip I TF family gene, ZmHB53, and clarified its role in drought stress. ZmHB53 overexpression maize plants exhibited sensitivity to abscisic acid (ABA), tolerant to polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000)-induced stress during germination, along with improved seedling drought resistance. Compared to the wild-type, ZmHB53 overexpression lines show higher water retention, biomass, and survival rates, and reduced water loss and stomatal size under drought, suggesting ZmHB53 ' s role in drought adaptation. DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-Seq), yeast one hybrid, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), and dual luciferase showed that ZmHB53 directly bound to and upregulated the expression of ABA receptor ZmPYL4. Meanwhile, transgenic plants overexpressing ZmPYL4 also exhibit ABA sensitivity and drought tolerance. The research results provide novel insights into the regulatory role of ZmHB53 and ZmPYL4 in enhancing maize's drought tolerance, establishing a foundation for future validation and potential application of ZmHB53 in strategies to improve maize resistance to drought.
