B4Cp/6061Al composites have become important structural and functional materials and can be fabricated by powder metallurgy and subsequent hot rolling. In this work, the effects of the hot-pressing temperature on microstructures and mechanical behaviors of the B4Cp/6061Al composites were investigated. The results showed that compared with the T4 heat treated B4Cp/6061Al composite hot pressed at 560℃, the yield strength and failure strain of the composites hot pressed at 580℃ were increased to 235 MPa and 18.4%, respectively. This was associated with the interface bonding strength between the B4C particles and the matrix. However, the reaction products, identified to be MgAl2O4 phases, were detected in the composites hot pressed at 600℃. The formation of the MgAl2O4 phases resulted in the Mg depletion, thus reducing the yield strength to 203.5 MPa after the T4 heat treatment due to the effect of the solid solution strengthening being weakened. In addition, the variation of hardness and electrical conductivity was mainly related to the Mg content in the matrix. Based on the as-rolled microstructures observed by SEM, SR-μCT and fracture surfaces, the deformation schematic diagram was depicted to reflect the tensile deformation process of the composites.

A database of real-world diesel vehicle emission factors, based on type and technology, has been developed following tests on more than 300 diesel vehicles in China using a portable emission measurement system. The database provides better understanding of diesel vehicle emissions under actual driving conditions. We found that although new regulations have reduced real-world emission levels of diesel trucks and buses significantly for most pollutants in China, NOx emissions have been inadequately controlled by the current standards, especially for diesel buses, because of bad driving conditions in the real world. We also compared the emission factors in the database with those calculated by emission factor models and used in inventory studies. The emission factors derived from COPERT(Computer Programmer to calculate Emissions from Road Transport) and MOBILE may both underestimate real emission factors, whereas the updated COPERT and PART5(Highway Vehicle Particulate Emission Modeling Software) models may overestimate emission factors in China. Real-world measurement results and emission factors used in recent emission inventory studies are inconsistent,which has led to inaccurate estimates of emissions from diesel trucks and buses over recent years. This suggests that emission factors derived from European or US-based models will not truly represent real-world emissions in China. Therefore, it is useful and necessary to conduct systematic real-world measurements of vehicle emissions in China in order to obtain the optimum inputs for emission inventory models.

Tissue P systems are distributed parallel and non-deterministic computing models in the framework of membrane computing, which are inspired by intercellular communication and cooperation between neurons. Recently, cell separation is introduced into tissue P systems, which enables systems to generate an exponential workspace in a polynomial time. In this work, the computational power of tissue P systems with cell separation is investigated. Specifically, a uniform family of tissue P systems with cell separation is constructed for effciently solving a well-known NP-complete problem, the partition problem.

By the experiment modal research for unit structure, the natural frequency and mass of US by means of experimental modal analysis is explored. Experimental modal analysis on US was applied to achieve optimal US simultaneously to satisfy multiple conflicting performance requirements of mass and natural frequency of US. Then the structural parameters of US were optimized to increase natural frequencies and reduce mass. Experimental modal analysis is an efficient technique to accurately identify the dynamic behavior of a structure and provides modal parameters, such as natural frequencies and mode shapes.

keystone species have significant impacts on community structure and function regardless of their abundance in space and time, whether individually or collectively. They play a unique and crucial role, and their removal can lead to substantial changes in the microbiome. It is one of the necessary processes to explore key microbial functions and interactions by studying keystone species. The term "keystone species" has been proposed and developed for nearly 60 years, but in microbiology, it is often used interchangeably with similar terms, which hinders the integration and advancement of research. Here, we review similar terms for keystone species in the microbial field and suggest using "keystone species" instead of "keystone taxa". We also summarize and analyze identification approaches for keystone species, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each while providing recommendations for selecting appropriate approaches in the environmental field. Based on the serious soil environment problem, this review also takes the research in the field of heavy metal-contaminated soils as case studies, and summarizes and analyzes the research situation of keystone species. Finally, we discuss the current limitations in research on keystone species, offering insights into their future development and application in the microbial field, particularly in remediation for heavy metal-contaminated soils. This review aims to summarize existing research on microbial keystone species and connect the findings to the field of environmental remediation, providing a reference for developing more effective remediation strategies and enhancing our understanding of ecosystem health.
