Late Triassic adakitic rocks in the Selenge igneous rock complex, northern Mongolia: petrogenesis and tectonic implications

In northern Mongolia, in the region along the southern margin of the former Siberian continent, Permian–Triassic adakitic rock complexes formed by the melting of the oceanic slab are widely exposed (Selenge Igneous Rock Complex: SIC). However, the petrogenesis of the SIC remain i...

Stabilizing Pt by Introducing TaON to Enhance the Long-Term Stability in Zinc-Air Batteries

Abstract For many years, the application of zinc-air batteries (ZABs) has been plagued by the limited durability of platinum (Pt)-based catalysts. Here, we overcome this problem by adopting an intelligent catalyst design, introducing tantalum (oxy)nitrides (TaON) as a carrier to...

NH2-Functionalized Reduced Graphene Oxide-Induced β-Phase Enhancement in Electrospun PVDF Nanofibers for Self-Powered Triboelectric Sensing and Athlete Motion Monitoring

Abstract Electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibers are promising for flexible self-powered sensing, but controlling the electroactive crystalline phase while maintaining suitable morphology and mechanical integrity remains challenging. Here, amino-functionalized red...

Urban Expansion and Satellite–Administrative Divergence in Mongolia: Multi-Sensor Evidence from Ulaanbaatar and Pastoral Provinces

Urban monitoring in rapidly growing dryland cities is difficult because satellite signals and administrative records capture different aspects of settlement change and can perform differently across land-cover contexts. Mongolia provides a useful case because urban growth is conc...

Monotonicity-constrained transfer learning for predicting residual tensile strength of GFRP under wind–sand erosion

Accurate prediction of residual mechanical properties in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites under harsh environmental conditions is crucial for ensuring structural durability and service safety. This study proposes a monotonicity-constrained transfer learning ResNet (TL-Re...

lithium-ion battery life cycle monitoring system based on IoT edge computing and cloud big data

The reliable lifecycle monitoring of lithium-ion batteries is critical for microgrid energy storage systems, where battery degradation, dynamic load variation, and abnormal operating conditions may directly affect system safety and energy efficiency. However, existing battery mon...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Near-Surface Temperature Inversion over Ulaanbaatar City, Mongolia

Near-surface temperature inversions are prevalent during the cold months in Ulaanbaatar city, Mongolia, and significantly degrade urban air quality by trapping hazardous pollutants within a shallow atmospheric boundary layer. This study investigates spatiotemporal variability, ph...

Alkali-Fused CoalGasification Fine Slag for SimulatedPhenolic Wastewater Treatment: Adsorption–Oxidation Performanceand Mechanistic Investigation

Abstract Coal gasification fine slag (CGFS) is a large amount of industrial solid waste produced by the coal chemical process. Phenol in coking wastewater is a kind of refractory and highly toxic organic pollutants. In order to solve the two types of environmental problems simult...

Mesoscale Simulation of Steel Slag Fine Aggregate Concrete Using a Cohesive Zone Model: Influence of Microparameters on Uniaxial Compressive Behavior

Abstract Steel slag fine aggregate (SSFA) concrete is a composite material comprising cement mortar, SSFA, coarse aggregate, and an interfacial transition zone (ITZ). To simulate the SSFA concrete’s uniaxial compression performance on the mesoscale this study applied Python in co...

Soil Carbon Recovery and Hydrological Buffering in Mongolian Rangelands: Local Benefits and Limits of Earth-System Connectivity

Soil organic carbon (SOC) restoration in degraded drylands is increasingly promoted for climate mitigation and hydrological co-benefits, yet the scale at which these benefits remain detectable remains uncertain. We therefore evaluate SOC recovery and its hydrological effects acro...
