Organic Brake Friction Composite Materials: Impact of Mixing Duration on Microstructure, Properties, Tribological Behavior and Wear Resistance
Authors: Makni Fatma , Cristol Anne-Lise , Elleuch Riadh , Desplanques Yannick
Published: January 2022

The lack of knowledge on the link between the manufacturing process and performances constitutes a major issue of brake lining development. This study focuses on the effect of mixing duration on properties and tribological behavior of organic friction composite materials. The adopted methodology is based on efficient simplified formulations to limit synergic effects by the reduction of number and size distribution of constituents. Microstructural characteristics are analyzed and correlated to thermo physical and mechanical properties. Wear mechanisms and tribological behavior are studied in relation with the given microstructure and material properties. In the elaboration process, mixing duration has an impact on particle distribution and fibre arrangement. Distribution and size of fibre entanglements are found to cluster carbonaceous particles, which creates bulk thermal bridges improving thermal conductivity. Moreover, rockwool fibre arrangements affect density, porosity and thermo-physical properties. In addition, mixing duration disrupts cohesion of fibre bundles with the matrix, affecting compressive modulus and wear behaviour. This microstructural defect fosters an abundant third-body source flow, which results in a high wear flow. Porosities induced by fibre entanglements, presenting large and irregular size and distribution on the friction surface, lead to a low wear resistance and change the stability of friction.

The presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has triggered global warming and climate change. An effective approach to overcome these issues is to convert greenhouse gases into syngas. In this study, Ni-Ru/SiO2 catalyst was used to catalyze the dry reforming process of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) into syngas. The catalyst was prepared using different synthesis protocols: sol gel-coprecipitation and impregnation methods. Characterization using Brunauer Emmett Teller analysis showed that the catalyst prepared using both methods exhibited comparable pore diameters and high surface areas. The X-ray diffractometer analysis also indicated the presence of different NiO, RuO2, and SiO2 phases. Furthermore, the activity of the catalyst was investigated using a fixed bed reactor. Based on the results, the optimum catalytic activity was obtained from the catalyst prepared via the sol gel-coprecipitation method, with an average CH4 and CO2 conversions of 37% and 50%, respectively. In addition, our catalyst also showed a 114% higher CH4 conversion with an enhanced H2/CO ratio compared to identical catalysts from other studies.

A novel culture-based multiswarm artificial bee colony (CMABC) algorithm was proposed to address dynamic optimization problems. The historical experience of sub-swarms is preserved as cultural knowledge to guide the subsequent evolutionary process. Experiments were conducted on the moving peaks benchmark function. The results show that the CMABC algorithm was better than, or at least comparable to, the basic ABC algorithm, and other state-of-the-art algorithms.

The landmark project RoboCup is a well-known international robotics challenge that aims to advance robotics and AI research, with the end goal of developing robots capable of playing a game of soccer autonomously. Self-localization is one of the important elements for an autonomous soccer playing robot because the position information of the robot becomes a determinant of strategic behavior and cooperative operation. Although local searching is accurate, the lack of global searching results in the kidnapped robot problem. Thus, we propose a self-localization method that generates the searching space based on model-based matching using information regarding the white lines on the soccer field. The robot’s position is recognized by optimizing the fitness function using a genetic algorithm (GA). In this report, we adjust the parameter set of the GA on the basis of preliminary experiments and evaluate the accuracy of the proposed self-localization method. We verified that the proposed method enables real-time reversion to correct the position from the kidnapped position using the global/local searching ability of the GA.

Published: January 2022

In the process of target detection with active light sources as calibration objects, air scattering and air absorption cause a significant loss of light energy, resulting in distortion and fragmentation of the spot shape. Inspired by band-pass filtering, this study proposes a target detection method based on variable frame rate sampling of an active light source. It primarily adopts i) image modulation for collecting the active light source signal with a specified frequency and subtracting the background, and ii) variable frame rate sampling for further weighted average to attenuate the dynamic noise. The experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently eliminate static background, suppress dynamic noise, and detect the target location without illumination and background requirements.

Published: January 2022

Indonesia is the largest garlic importer in the world. The government has implemented a program to reduce importation of this product called the garlic mandatory-planting for importers. Implementation of this policy in the fields faced several chalanges. This study aimed to assess the realization of the mandatory-panting policy on national garlic production enhancement. Specifically, the study was intended to evaluate garlic international trade, to assess mandatory-planting policy, and to examine opportunities and challenges of garlic mandatory-planting. Result of this study concluded that the mandatory-planting had no significant impact as the importers’ planted areas were far below the targets. The mandatory-planting policy was encountered by lack of quality seed, limited land, lack of farmers’ interest for growing garlic, long harvest period, low yield, and not competitive selling price. It is suggested that the Ministry of Agriculture replace mandatory-planting with mandatory-purchase, expanding the planted-area to suitable areas, increasing import tariff, and production increase but evading the self-sufficiency policy. 

Abstrak

Indonesia merupakan negara importir bawang putih terbesar di dunia. Pemerintah melaksanakan program untuk menurunkan impor dengan menerapkan kebijakan wajib tanam bagi importir bawang putih. Pelaksanaan kebijakan ini di lapangan ternyata mengalami banyak tantangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis realisasi kebijakan wajib tanam bagi importir terhadap peningkatan produksi bawang putih nasional. Secara khusus penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengevaluasi perdagangan internasional bawang putih, meneliti kebijakan wajib tanam bagi importir, dan mengkaji peluang dan tantangan wajib tanam. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa kebijakan wajib tanam bagi importir bawang putih tidak optimal dampaknya antara lain karena realisasi tanam jauh di bawah sasaran. Berbagai hambatan dalam program wajib tanam antara lain kekurangan benih bermutu, lahan terbatas, petani kurang berminat, waktu panen cukup lama, produktivitas rendah, dan harga jual tidak bersaing. Disarankan agar kebijakan wajib tanam diganti dengan wajib beli bagi importir, penanaman di wilayah yang sesuai, peningkatan tarif impor, dan peningkatan produksi tanpa harus meneruskan program swasembada bawang putih.
Theology and Philosophy of Science: Problems of Identification
Authors:   SS Cyril and Methodius Institute of Post-Graduate Studies, Shmonin Dmitry V.
Published: January 2022

The article continues the cycle of the author’s works analyzing the objectivity of theology, its position within the scientific space and beyond. The analysis is given from the point of view of the philosophy of science as a philosophical dis­cipline, which, in addition to the general section, has a specification of areas, branches and groups of specialties adopted in the modern science of science and scientometrics. The content of theology is described taking into account the work on improving the range of scientific specialties, which is now being carried out in Russia. First, the author proposes a method and parameters for evaluating the scientific work of a theologian, taking into account the worldview, compe­tence and religious and confessional affiliation. This approach takes into account the peculiarities of the intellectual work of the theologian and describes the pa­rameters that identify the results of this work. Secondly, the article deals with the religious-confessional and scientific aspects of theology as a branch of knowl­edge (a group of specialties), which is part of the family of social and human sci­ences. Thus, the author again draws attention to the intellectual and value-world­view resource of theology in modern life and the need to comprehend it, including within the framework of the philosophy of science.
Brodsky and Clio: the Profile of Skeptical Philosophy of History
Authors:   Institute of Asian and African Studies, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Kovelman Arkady B.
Published: January 2022

In the wake of mounting disasters of the last century, poets and philosophers de­veloped the notion of the total arbitrariness of history. In the wording of Karl Löwith, “the skeptic and the believer have a common cause against the easy reading of history and its meaning. Their wisdom, like all wisdom consists not the least in disillusion and resignation, in freedom from illusions and presump­tions”. The Hegelian claim that history has an ultimate meaning, or final pur­pose, or goal was vehemently rejected, as well as Plato’s utopia of a “just city”. In his essays and poems, Brodsky postulates the randomness of history. He bor­rowed the notion of randomness from the book by Lev Shestov “The Apotheosis of Groundlessness”. Shestov promoted the idea of mental nomadism, or freedom from causal thinking and scientism. For Brodsky, being a nomad mentally meant to escape from both rationalist interpretation of history and the theological idea of Providence. He believed that rationalism’s greatest casualty was individual­ism. Besides, the doctrine of historical determinism and the notion of Provi­dence’s general benevolence translated itself into a patient waiting for a Storm Trooper. Seeing problems with such patient waiting in place, such as deportation of Jews to death camps, Brodsky suggested that it would be much better to be­come a nomad. Brodsky developed his ideas against the foil of the Bible, the Re­public of Plato and Hamlet by Shakespeare. He described nomadism as Israel’s Exodus from Egypt and the expulsion of poets from Plato’s Just City.
The Problem of Induction as a Problem of Religious and Moral Revival in the Teaching of F. Bacon’s Method
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Sokuler Zinaida A.
Published: January 2022

Francis Bacon’s name is associated with the justification of the idea that science should be inductive and with the attempt to develop scientific induction. How­ever, induction in any form suffers from serious difficulties. The paper refutes at­tempts to defend Bacon and his project by claiming that it is only about elimina­tive induction. It is shown that Bacon is an inductivist in the full sense of the word: he hopes to construct a method that makes any conjectures completely unnecessary. Nature itself, as if taking the researcher by the hand, will lead him to more and more general and profound statements. The Baconian version of sci­entific induction can be criticised from different perspectives. One may wonder why Bacon himself did not see the defects in his inductivist methodology. The following answer is suggested: for him these problems are not solved by logic, but by religious and moral regeneration. This is proved by referring to Ba­con’s short text New Atlantis, famous for the project of a fundamentally new or­ganisation of science presented here. However, it should be noted that from the first lines of New Atlantis the theme of Christianity clearly resounds. Turning to one of the central episodes of New Atlantis – the story of how the inhabitants of an island lost in the Pacific Ocean found the Gospels in 50 AD – shows, firstly, that Christianity was brought to the island by a miracle; secondly, it came in its original purity, not clouded by human interpretations. Bacon’s narrative should lead readers to believe that the islanders received Christianity at first hand, free from papism, theology and scholasticism. It is argued that Bacon’s idea is to take this fact into account in order to explain the success of the science of the island, which, of course, follows his scientific induction. The question of the Old Testament roots of the House of Solomon described by Bacon and the significance of the figure of the Jew named Joabin as mediator between the nar­rator and the House of Solomon is also considered.
On the question of constructing social reality
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Momdzhyan Karen H.
Published: January 2022

The article examines the role that the so-called project consciousness has in history. The author distinguishes a project consciousness from a reflective and a value conscious­ness. The latter perform orientational rather than constructive functions. The analysis of history shows that there is a cardinal difference between the ability of people to change the technosphere of their existence and their ability to create and control the institutional conditions of their own life, changing the foundations and forms of human society. Hu­man consciousness has played and continues to play an important role in the “eventful history” created by concrete people in specific circumstances of space and time. The same cannot be said about its ability to purposefully create and change the deep structures of history, to construct impersonal social relations acting as matrices of social interaction behind historical events. This possibility appears only in the XX century, marked by a sharp increase in the potential of project consciousness. It manifests itself first of all in the expansion of the possibilities of conscious control, penetrating into the spheres of so­cial life, where previously the spontaneous model of development dominated. In addition, project consciousness acquires an unprecedented ability to make large-scale changes in social life not under the pressure of historical necessity, but in accordance with the value priorities of people, their ideas about proper social order. The article examines the causes of this transformation, which has both positive and negative consequences. The author draws attention to the errors and illusions of project consciousness that can lead to episodic violence of ideas over human life. But this does not mean that the human will turns into the full-fledged demiurge of history, capable of realizing any desires and fan­tasies. History retains its law-governed character being operated by the law according to which ideas shame themselves sooner or later when they become detached from the ob­jective needs and interests of people.

The concept of digital reality: meaning and significance
Authors:   Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), Przhilenskiy V.I.
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the processes of transformation of a person's attitude to the world, which arose because of the active introduction of computer technology into management and production systems, as well as the use of electronic and digital devices in everyday life. The author reconstructs the evolution of the attitude towards the reality that occurred as a result of the digitalization of social practices and of the philosophical and theoretical reflections on these problems. Special attention is paid to the concepts of “virtual reality “and” digital reality”, and the design features of each of them are shown. The article substantiates the thesis that digital reality is the result of digitalization of social practices, both individual and collective. The article considers the specifics of defining the concept of virtual reality and its definition in the context of identifying the concept of digital reality. The first attempts to conceptualize the phenomenon of digital reality are analyzed, the experiences of using this concept are reconstructed, the main meanings are highlighted. A separate case is considered with a report on the need for a system design of the digital reality segment, proposed for the field of an expert information support of Russian science.
Paul Dirac’s peculiar synthesis of quantum mechanics and special relativity: an intertheoretic context
Authors:   Volga Region State University, Nugayev R.M.
Published: January 2022

One of the key episodes of the history of modern physics – Paul Dirac’s 1928 contrivance of the relativistic theory of the electron – in the context of lucid epistemological model of mature theory change is elicited. The peculiar character of Dirac’s synthesis of special relativity and quantum mechanics is revealed by comparison with Einstein’s methodology of the Gen- eral Relativity creation. The structure of Dirac’s scientific research programme and first and foremost the three pivotal principles that put up its heuristics is scrutinized with special emphasis on the “mathematical beauty”. It is contended that it was the general relativity genesis elicited in Eddington’s masterpiece “The Mathematical Theory of Relativity” that constituted Dirac’s synthetic paradigm with its emphasis on mathematical speculation, continual modification and generalization of the basic axioms and with the Clifford algebra and Weyl’s bispinors playing the dual lead of Riemannian geometry and Einstein’s metrical tensor. It is punctuated that in spite of the relentless Dirac’s remarks underestimating the role of philosophy one can trace its indirect influence through Arthur Eddington’s whimsical philosophy of science grounded on Hermann Weyl’s quasi-Husserlian epistemology. The basic stages of realization of Dirac’s research programme are elicited with a special emphasis on the crossbred (dual) objects’ construction.
Epictetus
Authors:   RAS Institute of Philosophy, Stoliarov Alexander
Published: January 2022

Epictetus (c. 50 A.D., Hierapolis, Phrygia – c. 135 A.D., Nicopolis, Epirus), one of the most prominent representatives (along with Seneca and Marcus Aurelius) of Later Stoa, disciple of Musonius Rufus. In young age he was a slave of Epaphroditus, a courtman of emperor Nero. Under emperor Domitianus he was banned into exile to Nicopolis, where he established his own school. Epictetus was an outstanding exponent of Stoic ethics notable for the consistency and power of his ethical thought and for effective methods of teaching. More sharply than any other stoic he accentuated the item of moral freedom. Epictetus’s chief concerns were with inner integrity and self — management which he advocated by demanding of his students a thorough examination of two central ideas, the capacity of “volition” and the “correct use of impressions”. Heartfelt and satirical by turns, Epictetus has had significant influence on the popular moralistic tradition (in the first place on Marcus Aurelius). His lucid resystematization and challenging application of Stoic ethics qualify him as an important philosopher in his own right within stoic tradition.
Post-Soviet identity of Russia in conceptual and political “wars of memory” (In memory of Valery Nikolaevich Rastorguev) Review of the book: National Memory in an Era of Change / T.V. Bespalova, S.P. Potseluev, V.N. Rastorguev

Published: January 2022

The article gives an extensive review of the collective monograph of three doctors of sci­ences who focused on the problem of the functioning of the cultural mechanism of collec­tive memory in the era of “post-truth”. The subject of the study identifies three levels: factual, revealing the process of rewriting and falsifying history; political, considering the specifics of conducting a modern information war against Russia, in which “wars of memory” represent one of the directions of political confrontation; conceptual, defin­ing various strategies for Russia’s exit from the crisis of post-Soviet identity. The review pays particular attention to the discussion at the conceptual level in substantiating the concepts of “state-civilization” and “state-nation” on the issues of understanding the place and meaning of “Russian identity” and “historical truth” in solving the problem of Russia’s exit from the crisis of post-Soviet identity.

Construction of Anti-Counterfeiting Pattern On The Cellulose Film By In-Situ Regulation Strategies
Authors: Jin Yidan , Wu Chengfeng , Zhang Xiaomin , Su Shengpei , Mahmud Sakil , Zhu Jin
Published: January 2022

Cellulose and its derivatives films are increasingly used in paper, packaging, and other fields, but there is limited research on its films with anti-counterfeiting patterns. Here, we demonstrate an approach to prepare cellulose film with a micro-millimeter scale pattern by lithium chloride (LiCl) crystal template, which grows out by the in-situ generation in the film formation process. The surface morphologies of the as-prepared film were systematically controlled by regulating the solution viscosity (η) and the surrounding temperature. The imprinting of LiCl crystal was retained on the film surface after rinsing. Moreover, the crystallinity of patterned film was significantly improved, and about 62 MPa increased tensile strength than the film without a pattern. Especially, these patterns were similar to fingerprint size, which had exhibited an excellent function to unlock fingerprint locked phones and showed a potentiality in the anti-counterfeiting yield.
Full-range birefringence control with piezoelectric MEMS-based metasurfaces
Authors: Meng Chao , Thrane Paul , Ding Fei , Bozhevolnyi Sergey
Published: January 2022

Dynamic polarization control is crucial for emerging highly integrated photonic systems with diverse metasurfaces being explored for its realization, but efficient, fast, and broadband operation remains a cumbersome challenge. While efficient optical metasurfaces (OMSs) involving liquid crystals suffer from inherently slow responses, other OMS realizations are limited either in the operating wavelength range (due to resonances involved) or in the range of birefringence tuning. Capitalizing on our development of piezoelectric micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based dynamic OMSs, we demonstrate reflective MEMS-OMS dynamic wave plates (DWPs) with high polarization conversion efficiencies (~ 75%), broadband operation (~ 100 nm near the operating wavelength of 800 nm), fast responses (< 0.4 milliseconds) and full-range birefringence control that enables completely encircling the Poincaré sphere along trajectories determined by the incident light polarization and DWP orientation. Demonstrated complete electrical control over light polarization opens new avenues in further integration and miniaturization of optical networks and systems.
Alpha-1 acid glycoprotein reduction differentiates recovery from remission in feline infectious peritonitis treatment

Published: January 2022

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a systemic immune-mediated inflammatory perivasculitis which occurs in a minority of cats infected with feline coronavirus (FCoV). A variety of therapies have been employed to treat this condition, which previously was usually fatal, but no parameters for differentiating FIP recovery from remission have been defined to enable clinicians to decide when it is safe to discontinue treatment. This observational study shows that a consistent reduction of the acute phase protein alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) to within normal limits (WNL i.e. 500μg/ml or below), as opposed to duration of survival, distinguishes recovery from remission. AGP consistently reduced to WNL in 26 recovered cats but remained elevated in 16 cats in remission, dipping to normal once in two of the latter. Anaemia was present in 58% (23/40) of the cats, and resolved more quickly than AGP in six recovered cats. Lymphopenia was observed in 43% (16/37) of the cats and reversed in nine recovered cats, but none of the remission group. Hyperglobulinaemia was slower than AGP to return to WNL in the recovered cats. FCoV antibody titre was high in all 42 cats at the outset and decreased significantly in 7 recovered cats, but too slowly to be a useful parameter to determine discontinuation of anti-viral treatments. Conclusion: a sustained return to normal levels of AGP was the most rapid and consistent indicator for differentiating recovery from remission following treatment for FIP. This study provides a useful model for differentiating acute from chronic coronavirus disease using acute phase protein monitoring.

In recent years, with the wide application of 5G network, in orderto save 5G network resources and satisfy the service requirementsof different users, much research has been carried out towards 5Gnetwork slicings technology. Different public key cryptosystems maybe deployed in different 5G network slicings. Therefore, heterogeneoussigncryption is required to achieve secure communication betweendifferent 5G network slices. The existing scheme is one-to-one communicationbetween 5G network slicings. For the sake of obtainingone-to-many and many-to-one secure communication, in this papertwo new privacy-preserving heterogeneous signcryption schemes havebeen proposed based on 5G network slicings, which can accomplishmutual communication between public key infrastructure and certificatelesscryptograph. In this work, we present PKI→CLC completelyanonymous multi-receiver signcryption (PMRCHS) and CLC→PKI heterogeneousaggregate signcryption (CPHAS) schemes. In the randomoracle model, proposed schemes are proved that satisfy confidentiality, unforgeability under the computational Diffie-Hellman problem and discrete logarithm problem. In addition, we have compared the proposedwork with the existing works in terms of computational cost, commumnication cost, anonymity and the direction of communication. Results show that the proposed schemes are more secure and effective.

The spectral properties of the molecules depend on the matrix in which it is present. The interaction of the molecule with the solute molecules affects the vibrational and rotational modes of the molecule. In this study, an absorption-based system was designed to show how the absorbance properties of glucose change in polyacrylamide hydrogel, and the measurements were performed at different wavelengths; 960 nm, 1450 nm, 1550 nm, and 1950 nm. It was observed that the system is sensitive to glucose at 1450 nm and 1950 nm wavelengths in polyacrylamide hydrogel, whereas it is only sensitive at 1450 nm in water which is due to the high absorbance of water at 1950 nm. In polyacrylamide hydrogel, water molecules mostly gather around the polymer chains via electrostatic interactions and the absorbance of water decreases which results in an increasing absorbance of glucose. According to the results, the responsivity of the system at 960 nm and 1550 nm, which are the wavelengths commonly used LED-based systems for measuring glucose in literature, is not high enough for reliable glucose measurements when compared with 1450 nm and 1950 nm.

Background: Knowledge and understanding of risk mechanisms associated with pediatric feeding disorders (PFD) remain limited. We aimed to investigate causative factors associated with PFD and their relation to specific PFD types according to the recent consensus WHO-based definition. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of children with PFD and retrieved their demographic and clinical characteristics. Healthy age- and sex-matched children served as controls. Results: Included were 254 children with PFD [median (interquartile range) age 16.4 (9.5-33) months at diagnosis] and 108 children in the control group [median age 24.85 (14.5-28.5) months]. According to the WHO-based definition, disturbances in oral intake were predominantly related to nutritional dysfunction in 118 (46.6%), feeding skill dysfunction in 83 (32.3%), medical conditions in 42 (16.7%) and psychosocial dysfunction in 11 (4.4%). In multivariate analysis, children with PFD had a higher risk for lower socioeconomic background (P<0.01) and low birth weight (26.8% compared to 7.4% ,P<0.001). Moreover, significantly fewer children in the PFD group were breastfed (75% versus 89%, P=0.003). There were no significant differences in any of those variables between PFD types. Conclusions: Low socioeconomic status, lack of breastfeeding, and low birth weight were significantly more frequent in children with PFD. PDF manifest as multiple dysfunctions, thus highlighting the need to offer these children and their families multidisciplinary care.

The enhancement of wear performance of steel baseplate for tillage application was carried out by manufacturing vanadium-chromium carbide coatings in situ by powder infusion of high carbon ferrochrome FeCrV15 powder through laser additive manufacturing. The developed samples were subjected to various microstructural investigations, microhardness and wear tests. The effect of extra chromium addition was also investigated on the developed coatings’ microstructure, hardness and wear performance. It was observed that the extra chromium addition increased the austenitic iron formation, reduced the concentration of the precipitated carbides and resulted in a much bigger grain formation of phases present, which lowered the grain boundary density leading to a reduced hardness of 553 HV for FeCrV15+Cr, compared to 835 HV for FeCrV15; which are significantly higher than 170 HV for the steel substrate. The result produced defect-free coatings with a strong metallurgical bond to the substrate. The FeCrV15 coating displayed an improved, multiple times wear-resistant capacity when contrasted with the FeCrV15+Cr. This excellent resistance is credited to the increased concentration of VC–Cr3C3 particles and increased grain boundary density due to the grain refinement of FeCrV15 coating, which are emphatically fortified in the matrix.
Is China on the Track of Its Climate Pledge: A Multi-scenario Simulation of China’s Energy-Related Co2 Emissions Pathways Based on Kaya Identity
Authors: Liu Hongxin , Zhang Jian , Yuan Jia-hai
Published: January 2022

China is currently in the process of the middle and late stage of industrialization, and energy-related CO2 emissions have reached 10 Gt. This paper models energy consumption and related CO2 emissions that explicitly considers China’s economic and social development goals in the medium and long term, with analyzing the development trends of various driving factors of CO2 emissions. Different scenarios for 2020-2060 are projected based on the Kaya identity. Energy consumption will peak at 6200 Mtce in 2035 in the BAU scenario and at 5900 Mtce in 2030 in the accelerated transition scenario. With existing policy, energy-related CO2 emissions will peak at about 11.1 Gt in 2026-2027, and in the accelerated transition scenario it can be potentially reduced by 300-400 Mt. In the BAU scenario, the net CO2 emissions will remain around 2000Mt in 2060, after removing 1800Mt CO2 by CCS/CCUS, indicating that China need enhance its post-2030 policy strength to deliver the carbon neutrality pledge. Steady energy efficiency improvement, radical industrial and energy restructuring are three key driving forces for carbon neutrality.

Deciphering the evolution of tumor cells in the whole bone marrow (BM) cavity is key to inform curative strategies in multiple myeloma. Here, we performed spatial-longitudinal sequencing, including 144 samples collected from 25 patients during up to 14 years. Applying imaging-guided sampling we observed three evolution patterns, including relapse driven by a single tumor cell, competing relapse sub-clones and a novel pattern characterized by unique treatment-resistant sub-clones at distinct BM locations. Our study highlights focal bone lesions (FL) as hotspots of tumor evolution and provides possible explanations for their negative prognostic impact. We show a close phylogenetic relationship between baseline FL and relapse sub-clones. In patients with ≥3 FDG-PET-positive FL at diagnosis, relapse was driven by multiple distinct sub-clones, whereas in other patients, a single-cell expansion was typically seen (p<0.01). We observed resistant sub-clones that can be hidden over years, and epigenetic modifier mutations as a new class of relapse aberrations. In conclusion, imaging can enhance tumor evolution studies in myeloma. The sophisticated evolution mechanisms and presence of single cells that can drive relapse even after 10 years of remission suggest that a prerequisite for curative therapies in myeloma would be to overcome not only tumor heterogeneity but also dormancy.
