Where Can a Threatened Pheasant Persist? Identifying Climate Change Refugia and Mapping Protection Gaps in China

Climate change and human activities are widely recognized as major drivers of global biodiversity loss. The Brown Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum), a ground-dwelling avian species unique to China, is confined to a highly fragmented range and faces persistent long-term t...

Catalytic Co-Oxidation of Acetone and Ammonia overMetal–Organic Framework-Derived Ce–Cu Oxides: Structure–ActivityRelationship and Pollutant Interaction Mechanism

Abstract The simultaneous removal of VOCs and NH3 from industrial exhaust gases poses a formidable challenge owing to the complex interactions between coexisting pollutants. Herein, a series of MOF-derived CeaCubOx catalysts with tunable Ce/Cu ratios were prepared and evaluated f...

Balanced ElectronDonation Governs Adsorption SiteSelection in CO2 Electroreduction to HCOOH on TransitionMetal-Doped Magnesium Oxides

Abstract Magnesium oxide (MgO) is attractive for CO2 utilization, because interaction with O2. However, the electronic inertness has limited its application in electrochemical catalysis. Herein, spin-polarized dDFT calculations with the BEEF-vdW functional were performed to evalu...

The key mechanism of twin-mediated microcracks in enhancing Mg anodes’ discharge behavior

Optimizing the microstructural features of Mg anodes serves as a vital strategy to innovate high-performance Mg-air batteries. In this investigation, AZ31 magnesium anodes with different microstructures were prepared at four annealing temperatures, and their discharge behavior an...

Photoinduced Synthesisof 5-Amino-1,2,4-Thiadiazolesfrom Amidines and Isothiocyanates

Abstract Herein, we report a novel, photocatalyst-free protocol enabling the efficient synthesis of diverse 5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazoles from readily available benzamidines hydrochloride and isothiocyanates. This transformation proceeds via a cascade C–N/N–S bond formation. Mechani...

Coupled Evolution of Coal Damage–Permeability–MechanicalResponse Induced by Alternating N2/CO2 Injection

Abstract To reveal the coupled evolution of coal damage–permeability–mechanical response during alternating N2/CO2 injection (ANI), a thermo-hydro-mechanical-damage (THMD) fully coupled model incorporating three distinct damage mechanisms (stress-induced, temperature-induced, and...

A survey of contrastive clustering research: algorithms, applications and challenges

Contrastive clustering, which leverages contrastive learning to enhance clustering performance, has made significant progress in recent years. The emergence of numerous diverse and valuable research outcomes highlights the necessity of systematically summarizing and analyzing the...
