Authors: Zhang Zhenjie , Li Min , Geng Fuqiang , Huang Xue , Hu Tao , Gao Shuai
Published: July 2023

A large amount of groundwater dewatering is beneficial to the foundation pit construction, but it will cause surface collapse, waste groundwater resources and damage the groundwater environment. In order to maintain the stability of groundwater level and the safety of surrounding buildings in the construction of deep foundation pit, the combination of dewatering and recharge is adopted. Taking the construction of deep foundation pit of a subway station in Jinan water-rich area as an example, the theoretical model of recharge quantity, stratum parameters and groundwater level was obtained through the backward derivation of the precipitation calculation model. 78 dewatering wells and 78 recharge wells were designed, and the on-site dewatering and recharge teat was carried out. The test results show that the water level of a single dewatering well decreases sharply in the initial stage of precipitation, and then the depth drops gradually to a stable level, and finally maintains a fixed value. The water inflow of a single well ranges from 34.54~57.07 m³/d, and the groundwater level can be lowered to 1.53~2.79 m below the foundation pit floor. The recharge volume of a single well in the natural recharge state is 146.88~ 241.44 m3/d, and the higher the recharge pressure, the stronger the recharge capacity of the recharge well. Through field test research, it is found that the recharge capacity of single well of recharge well is much greater than the pumping capacity of single well of dewatering well, and 56 recharge wells can make the recharge rate reach 100%, which optimizes the dewatering and recharge design of deep foundation pit.

The Role of Circadian Rhythm in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Liu Shuhan
Published: July 2023

With the development of technology and gradual enrichment in life, there is a significant increase in attention towards neurodevelopment and child health. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined as a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people speak, behave, and interact with others. Communication and social interaction issues, sensory abnormalities, repetitive habits, and varying degrees of intellectual disability are some of the symptoms of autism. ASDs influences about 1 in 44 children in the USA, with the number of incidents sharply increasing over the years. Epigenetic neurobiology factors and environment related factors should both be considered when interpreting the pathophysiology that lies behind ASD. The 24-hour physiological cycle that displays an endogenous and entrainable oscillation is known as the circadian rhythm, which is generated by a molecular clock system. Mounting evidence are linking circadian rhythm disorder and autism. This includes sleep chaos as a common epiphenomenon of ASD, melatonin level disorder in ASD and circadian gene dysfunction in ASD. This article revolves around three perspectives: 1) Sleep Disorder in ASD 2) Role of Circadian Biomarkers in ASD 3) Variants and deficiency of circadian genes in ASD. In conclusion, the article reveals the important role circadian rhythm plays in neurodevelopmental processes. Through examining the circadian rhythm not only as an epiphenomenon but also as a possible indicator for ASD, the article anticipates the implication of circadian rhythm in novel treatments of ASD as a conclusion.

A New Method for Improving the Performance of YOLOv5 in Single Fuzzy Image Recognition
Authors: Mao Yuhui
Published: July 2023

Nowadays, multi-target detection technology has achieved high levels of accuracy and has been widely adopted in various domains. However, it is challenging for the multi-object detection model to process fuzzy images and return accurate results in adverse weather conditions such as rainy and foggy. In this paper, a preprocessing method designed specifically for images in rainy and foggy weather is introduced. The reduced visibility in these images arises from the scattering of light by water vapor, which blurs the boundary lines between objects and makes it challenging for the model to accurately identify the object's features. The function of the preprocessing model introduced in this paper is to enhance the distinction between objects in the image, thereby enhancing the object contour and improving the detection rate of the multi-object detection model. The preprocessing model in this paper is calculated based on the third-order matrix composed of image pixels and adjusts the brightness of pixels by calculating the brightness distribution of pixels between rows and columns, so as to realize the increase of the contrast between pixels within a certain threshold range, achieving the feature of strengthening the object boundary while protecting the integrity of the picture. The data and test in this experiment were all based on the model trained by YOLOv5, a representative model for multi-object recognition. The experimental results demonstrated that the preprocessing model introduced in this paper can enhance the recognition ability of YOLOv5 model and improve the recognition rate of YOLOv5.

Hydrogen Storage and Purification with Metal-Organic Frameworks
Authors: Zheng Zeyi
Published: July 2023

Hydrocarbons like petroleum and gasoline produce several products, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur oxides that are harmful to the environment and humans when they are combined with oxygen during combustion. For the sustainable growth of people and the environment and to decrease the demand for fossil fuels, the use of renewable resources like hydrogen should be encouraged. Because it is a completely non-toxic, powerful, clean energy source and has a greater combustion range than other fuels hydrogen burns more efficiently. As the demand for hydrogen has increased, scientists have discovered many ways to store and purify it efficiently. However, current technologies and materials for storing and purifying hydrogen still have certain problems, such as low storage efficiency, harsh storage conditions (e.g., temperature and pressure limitations), high production costs for high-purity hydrogen, and many steps and low efficiency. Therefore, in recent years, MOF-based nanomaterials and membrane separation technologies with very high specific surface area and porosity have become hot research topics. This paper focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen as a fuel, the principles and operational steps of metal-organic framework-based nanomaterials and membrane technology used to store and purify hydrogen, and some methods to address the limitations of hydrogen storage.

Authors: Tian Linyang , Sun Yunqiang , Chi Jiaji
Published: July 2023

Gross domestic product (GDP) is a widely used economic indicator, but it does not consider economy related to natural resources. It may not accurately reflect a country's economic well-being. In this study, the potential of using "green GDP" (GGDP) and the GGDP index as primary indicators of economic health with a focus on climate implications is explored. The article proposes a new GGDP model and index that incorporate three key factors including environment, economy, and society with four quantifiable indicators within each factor. The weights for the indicators are calculated based on improved weight method containing entropy weight method and CRITIC method. GGDP model places emphasis on climate mitigation and employs grey correlation analysis and univariate linear regression. Furthermore, the GGDPGI model has been developed to assess the feasibility of replacing GDP with GGDP as the primary measure of economic growth. Our results suggest that using GGDP and the GGDP index as primary indicators is not only feasible but also meaningful for evaluating a country's economic growth.
Evaluation Of Environmental Protection Policy Implementation Effects in Yangtze River Economic Belt Based on Entropy-Weighted Grey Relation Analysis
Authors: Zhang Yihan
Published: July 2023

To examine the effect of environmental protection policy implementation in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, an indicator system is constructed with resource utilization, environmental management and eco-environment protection as the primary indicators, 17 secondary indicators are selected to reflect the effect of environmental protection policy implementation and a new model is constructed by using the entropy weight method to calculate the weight of each indicator and combining it with the grey relation analysis to examine the effect of environmental protection policy implementation in nine provinces in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2016 to 2020. An empirical analysis was conducted. The results show that from 2016 to 2020, in terms of resource utilization, the implementation effect of environmental protection policies in the midstream provinces of the Yangtze River is better than that in the upstream and downstream provinces of the Yangtze River; in terms of environmental management, the effect of environmental protection policies in the midstream provinces of the Yangtze River is the best, the upstream provinces are the second best, and the downstream provinces are the worst; in terms of ecological protection, the implementation effect of policies in the downstream provinces of the Yangtze River is better than that in the midstream provinces of the Yangtze River, and the upstream provinces are the worst; from the perspective of the overall score of policy implementation effect, the midstream provinces are better than the downstream provinces, and the downstream provinces are better than the upstream provinces. In this regard, the water resource utilization rate of the upstream and midstream provinces and cities of the Yangtze River should be strengthened, vegetation protection and soil and water conservation of the downstream and midstream provinces and cities of the Yangtze River should be enhanced, air and water pollution control of the upstream and downstream provinces and cities of the Yangtze River should be increased, and the ecological resilience of the provinces and cities of the Yangtze River Economic Belt should be improved.

Männliche Macht e Weibliche Ohnmacht? Declinazioni della sottomissione femminile in Thomas Bernhard ed Elias Canetti
Authors: Manenti Ilaria
Published: July 2023

Women play a specific and analogous role in the narrative of Elias Canetti and Thomas Bernhard. Such characters never appear as the only protagonists, but provide a counterpart to male figures, by whom they are often subjugated and marginalized. It is therefore the aim of this article to examine and compare the different ways in which the male characters of Canetti’s Die Blendung and Bernhard’s Das Kalkwerk and Ja dominate and exploit female figures, in an attempt to emphasize similarities and differences in the works of the two authors.
Dalle Baccanti all’Ibiza-Gate. «Schwarzwasser» di Elfriede Jelinek
Authors: Lozzi Giuliano
Published: July 2023

Taking studies on deconstruction, performance theories, and pragmatics as my point of departure, I investigate Elfriede Jelinek’s last political play Schwarzwasser (2020), where the so-called Ibiza-gate – which in 2018 involved the former Vice Chancellor of Austria – is represented. In her interpretation, Jelinek refers to René Girard’s Violence and the Sacred and Euripides’ Bacchae in an intertextual dialogue. This contribution aims to show how and why Jelinek recalls and employs The Bacchae in her play and to establish a connection between the political function of Greek theatre and Jelinek’s view of Austrian populism.
Eine «einzige große Verzögerung». Die Exilliteratur Maria Lazars und ihre Rezeption
Authors: Ketterl Simone
Published: July 2023

The Austrian novelist, essayist and journalist Maria Lazar (1895-1948), only recently rediscovered, who was a contemporary of Thomas Mann and an acquaintance of Bertolt Brecht, wrote many different types of texts. Considered a promising talent back in Vienna, the reception of her works decreased during Lazar’s years in exile. The following contribution aims to reconstruct the dynamics of her marginalization and takes a closer look at the socially critical dimension of No Right to Live and Die Eingeborenen von Maria Blut [The Natives of Maria Blood].
Kolonialismus, Regression und Sinnlichkeit in Robert Menasses «Sinnliche Gewissheit»
Authors: Krausz Luis S.
Published: July 2023

Even though Robert Menasse claims, through the words of his alter ego Roman Gilanian, the protagonist of Sinnliche Gewissheit [Sensual Certainty], that he does not know what to say about the Brazilians, this novel displays a certain portrait of Brazil. As a land of blatant social injustice, of sensuality, hedonism and irrationality, Brazil is at the same time fascinating and repulsive for a novelist who sees it through European eyes. For Menasse, Brazil remains foreign and mysterious, a land full of contradictions and paradoxes that seem to pose a threat to his philosophical concepts. This article highlights three themes that play a key role in the plot of Sinnliche Gewissheit: colonialism, regression and sensuality which, at the same time, challenge the idea of Heimat.
A promising chalcogenide perovskite-BaZrS3-for application on tandem solar cells
Authors: Qin Siyu
Published: July 2023

Applying a tandem structure to silicon-based sub-cells is the most promising strategy for enhancing efficiency and overcoming the Shockley-Queisser limit, which is an intrinsic limitation of silicon-based solar cells. This study will begin with the various categories of tandem solar cells and then analyze the requirements for optimizing the overall conversion efficiency. Therefore, the characteristics of BaZrS3, a chalcogenide perovskite with high elemental abundance, exceptional photovoltaic properties as well as outstanding stability, are thoroughly evaluated and compared with other previously utilized materials for the top sub-cell. Finally, the most feasible approach for thin film growth which is physical vapor deposition is reviewed based on the available literature from bulk synthesis of BaZrS3. This evaluation may serve as a critical guideline for the future commercialization of BaZrS3.
