Knowledge Graph-Driven Weather Overview Generation for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games

Weather Overview is regarded as one of the crucial meteorological services supporting the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games(hereafter as Beijing 2022).As generation of Weather Overview involves multipledata,large-scale weather conditions,and vulnerability to weather changes,there still exist quite some challenges in obtaining Weather Overview.At present,knowledge graph(KG)is believed to be an effective way to describe information and knowledge.Thus,this study focuses on development of a framework to automatically generate Weather Overview using KG.We first present a three-layer KG model to generate accurate content of Weather Overview:(1)knowledge acquisition of entities and relationships to construct the specific corpora;(2)knowledge representation of the relationships between weather conditions and the events based on ontology;and(3)knowledge application of corpora,variables,and weather conditions to query and reason knowledge with Neo4j.Moreover,an XML Schema is used to achieve the standardized Weather Overview,which is formed by sentence-paragraph-text generation.This model is validated for a typical case at the Yanqing National Alpine Skiing Centre in Beijing 2022.Compared to the manual method,the accuracy and standardization of Weather Overview can be maintained above 90%,and it can be automatically generated within seconds.The method proposed in this study provides a helpful meteorological service solution to other large-scale sports events.

Adsorptive removal of antibiotics from water using magneticion exchange resin

The occurrence of antibiotics in the environment has recently raised serious concern regarding their potential threat to aquatic ecosystem and human health. In this study, the magnetic ion exchange（MIEX） resin was applied for removing three commonly-used antibiotics, sulfamethoxazole（SMX）, tetracycline（TCN） and amoxicillin（AMX） from water.The results of batch experiments show that the maximum adsorption capacities on the MIEX resin for SMX, TCN and AMX were 789.32, 443.18 and 155.15 μg/m L at 25°C,respectively, which were 2–7 times that for the powdered activated carbon. The adsorption kinetics of antibiotics on the MIEX resin could be simulated by the pseudo-second-order model（R^2= 0.99）, and the adsorption isotherm data were well described by the Langmuir model（R^2= 0.97）. Solution p H exhibited a remarkable impact on the adsorption process and the absorbed concentrations of the tested antibiotics were obtained around the neutral p H.The MIEX resin could be easily regenerated by 2 mol/L Na Cl solution and maintained high adsorption removal for the tested antibiotics after regeneration. Anion exchange mechanism mainly controlled the adsorption of antibiotic and the formation of hydrogen binding between the antibiotic and resin can also result in the increase of adsorption capacity. The high adsorption capacity, fast adsorption rate and prominent reusability make the MIEX resin a potential adsorbent in the application for removing antibiotics from water.

Designing novel thin film polycrystalline solar cells for high efficiency:sandwich CIGS and heterojunction perovskite

Heterojunction and sandwich architectures are two new-type structures with great potential for solar cells.Specifically,the heterojunction structure possesses the advantages of efficient charge separation but suffers from band offset and large interface recombination;the sandwich configuration is favorable for transferring carriers but requires complex fabrication process.Here,we have designed two thin-film polycrystalline solar cells with novel structures：sandwich CIGS and heterojunction perovskite,referring to the advantages of the architectures of sandwich perovskite（standard）and heterojunction CIGS（standard）solar cells,respectively.A reliable simulation software wxAMPS is used to investigate their inherent characteristics with variation of the thickness and doping density of absorber layer.The results reveal that sandwich CIGS solar cell is able to exhibit an optimized efficiency of 20.7%,which is much higher than the standard heterojunction CIGS structure（18.48%）.The heterojunction perovskite solar cell can be more efficient employing thick and doped perovskite films（16.9%）than these typically utilizing thin and weak-doping/intrinsic perovskite films（9.6%）.This concept of structure modulation proves to be useful and can be applicable for other solar cells.
