Urban food-energy-water nexus:a case study in Beijing

Food,energy and water(FEW)are indispensable,irreplaceable and safeguarding resources with tangled interlinkages among each other,often framed in terms of‘nexus’.Cities have become the bustling hubs of resource consumption and production,facing the most intense stress.Globally,food security,fresh water shortage and fossil energy exhaustion have become the greatest challenge for the sustainable development of cities in the future.Systematic analysis and simulation of dynamic evolution of urban FEW demand and supply and its nexus would add significant and practical value for macro-management such as ensuring the security of urban resource.Taking Beijing as the case study,we established a dynamic model for the FEW demand and supply from the perspective of cross-ectoral and cross-regional nexus with the Stella modelling platform,then it was run for simulating the dynamic changes and nexus characteristics of FEW during the interval between 2016 and 2035.The results showed that:①The gap between local production and demand of these three resources in Beijing will continue to increase.In 2035,Beijing will need 2.16 million tons of grain,0.83 million tons of meat,4.6 billion m3 of water and 91.65 million tons of standard coal of energy while the resources produced and supplied by locality independently will be 0.21 million tons,0.23 million tons,3.3 billion cubic meters and 16.5 million tons of standard coal respectively.Beijing has to draw on cross-boundary production to meet FEW-use with the increasing gap between local supply and demand.②There is a developing trend of the absolute quantity of interaction among FEW.Structurally,the‘outsourcing’feature is obvious and the indigenous nexus links of three resources are shifting to back-end supply chain such as transportation and treatment.③The change of nexus indexes are mainly affected by the mutual and strong dependence between food and water.Food and energy depend more and more on each other;in contrast,the inter-relationship between water and energy is more stable.In addition,inter-regional FEW nexus is strengthened.④To improve systematic management of urban resources,we need to capture multi-tradeoffs of the FEW system comprehensively and establish a multi-regional and multi-factor integrated and collaborative resource management mechanism.

Impressive self-healing phenomenon of Cu_2ZnSn(S, Se)_4 solar cells

A study of the self-healing phenomenon of Cu2ZnSn（S, Se）4（CZTSSe） solar cells has shown more than 10% enhancement in cell performance after storage at room temperature for a week, with a significant improvement in the open-circuit photovoltage（V（oc）） and fill factor（F F）. In addition, up to 10.45% power conversion efficiency（PCE） has been achieved.No obvious change in crystallinity, crystal phase, optical absorption or elemental distribution in the CZTSSe films was detected on examining the x-ray diffraction（XRD） pattern, Raman spectrum, ultraviolet-visible（UV-Vis）, and TOF-SIMS.Further investigations on the charge carrier concentration, charge radiative recombination, and band structure suggest that the enhancement in PCE stems mainly from a reduction in deep defects of the CZTSSe semiconductor film.

Efficiency enhancement in DIBSQ：PC71BM organic photovoltaic cells by using Liq-doped Bphen as a cathode buffer layer

We have improved the photovoltaic performance of 2,4-bis[4-（N,N- diisobutylamino）-2,6-dihydroxyphenyl] squaraine：[6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester （DIBSQ：PC71BM） organic photovoltaic （OPV） cells via incorporating Liq-doped Bphen （Bphen-Liq） as a cathode buffer layer （CBL）. Based on the Bphen-Liq CBL, a DIBSQ：PC71BM OPV cell possessed an optimal power conversion efficiency of 4.90%, which was 13% and 60% higher than those of the devices with neat Bphen as CBL and without CBL, respectively. The enhancement of the device performance could be attributed to the enhanced electron mobility and improved electrode/active layer contact and thus the improved photocurrent extraction by incorporating the Bphen-Liq CBL. Light-intensity dependent device performance analysis indicates that the incorporating of the Bphen-Liq CBL can remarkably improve the charge transport of the DIBSQ：PC71BM OPV cell and thus decrease the recombination losses of the device, resulting in enhanced device performance. Our finding indicates that the doped Bphen-Liq CBL has great potential for high-performance solution-processed small-molecule OPVs.

Influence of thermal annealing-induced molecular aggregation on film properties and photovoltaic performance of bulk heterojunction solar cells based on a squaraine dye

Squaraine （SQ） dyes have been considered as efficient photoactive materials for organic solar cells. In this work, we purposely controlled the molecular aggregation of an SQ dye, 2,4-bis[4-（N,N-dibutylamino）-2-dihydroxyphenyl] SQ （DBSQ- （OH）2） in the DBSQ（OH）2：[6,6]-phenyl-Cel-butyric acid methyl ester （PCBM） blend film by using the thermal annealing method, to study the influence of the molecular aggregation on film properties as well as the photovoltaic performance of DBSQ（OH）2：PCBM-based bulk heterojunction （BHJ） solar cells. Our results demonstrate that thermal annealing may change the aggregation behavior of DBSQ（OH）2 in the DBSQ（OH）2：PCBM film, and thus significantly influence the surface morphology, optical and electrical properties of the blend film, as well as the photovoltaic performance of DBSQ（OH）2：PCBM BHJ cells.

Deletion of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K in satellite cells leads to inhibited skeletal muscle regeneration in mice

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K(hnRNPK)is a predominantly nuclear RNA-binding protein that can bind to DNA or RNA through three KH domains and interact with multiple proteins by interactive region.These binding activities enable hnRNPK to link the function in a wide array of diverse cellular processes,such as chromatin remodeling,gene transcription,RNA metabolism,protein translation,DNA repair,and cell signal transduction,thereby playing crucial roles in many biological processes,including development,axonal regeneration,spermatogenesis,cell cycle,apoptosis,differentiation,and carcinogenesis.
