New paths and research directions in CO_(2) conversion by electro-, photoand plasma catalysis

CO_(2) conversion into value-added products by electro-, photoand plasma catalysis under mild operating conditions(ambient temperature and pressure) is an emerging area to achieve carbon circularity by producing chemicals and fuels using directly renewable energy. Among all CO_(2) conversion approaches, the electrocatalytic reduction of CO_(2) is the most mature technology, capable of achieving high productivity(i.e. high current densities) at large scale, especially for producing carbon monoxide(CO), but with many examples showing selectivity to C_(2) carbon products.

Strategies and Paths for Constructing Rural Landscape Ecological Security Pattern in the Context of Rural Revitalization

It is one of the fundamental research contents of rural revitalization by constructing a ecological security pattern of rural landscape,providing important basis for scientifically formulating rural spatial planning and sustainable rural development.The research on ecological security patterns of landscape at home and abroad is mainly focused on urban areas.In the context of rural revitalization,the research on strategies and paths for constructing the ecological security pattern of rural landscapes aims to provide important references for the overall planning and design of rural areas and the optimization of rural resource allocation.Using 3S(GPS,RS,GIS)technology methods,this paper systematically analyzes and elaborates on the construction strategies and paths of rural water ecological security pattern,rural biological protection security pattern,rural geological disaster security pattern,and local cultural landscape security pattern.Through the comprehensive superposition of the patterns,a comprehensive ecological security pattern of rural landscape is finally constructed.In the process of constructing and improving the ecological security pattern of rural landscape,emphasis is placed on top-level design,long-term planning,multi-party participation,mechanism improvement,technological innovation,and the strategy of“integrating knowledge with action”.

An improved Isomap method for manifold learning

Purpose-Isometric feature mapping(Isomap)is a very popular manifold learning method and is widely used in dimensionality reduction and data visualization.The most time-consuming step in Isomap is to compute the shortest paths between all pairs of data points based on a neighbourhood graph.The classical Isomap(C-Isomap)is very slow,due to the use of Floyd’s algorithm to compute the shortest paths.The purpose of this paper is to speed up Isomap.Design/methodology/approach-Through theoretical analysis,it is found that the neighbourhood graph in Isomap is sparse.In this case,the Dijkstra’s algorithm with Fibonacci heap(Fib-Dij)is faster than Floyd’s algorithm.In this paper,an improved Isomap method based on Fib-Dij is proposed.By using Fib-Dij to replace Floyd’s algorithm,an improved Isomap method is presented in this paper.Findings-Using the S-curve,the Swiss-roll,the Frey face database,the mixed national institute of standards and technology database of handwritten digits and a face image database,the performance of the proposed method is compared with C-Isomap,showing the consistency with C-Isomap and marked improvements in terms of the high speed.Simulations also demonstrate that Fib-Dij reduces the computation time of the shortest paths from O(N3)to O(N2lgN).Research limitations/implications-Due to the limitations of the computer,the sizes of the data sets in this paper are all smaller than 3,000.Therefore,researchers are encouraged to test the proposed algorithm on larger data sets.Originality/value-The new method based on Fib-Dij can greatly improve the speed of Isomap.
