Xiong Y, Shao S. Overcoming the numerical sign problem in the Wigner dynamics via adaptive particle annihilation. SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing [Internet]. 2024;46(2):B107-B136. 访问链接Abstract
The infamous numerical sign problem poses a fundamental obstacle to particle- based stochastic Wigner simulations in high-dimensional phase space. Although the existing particle annihilation (PA) via uniform mesh significantly alleviates the sign problem when dimensionality D <= 4, the mesh size grows dramatically when D >= 6 due to the curse of dimensionality and consequently makes the annihilation very inefficient. In this paper, we propose an adaptive PA algorithm, termed sequential-clustering particle annihilation via discrepancy estimation (SPADE), to overcome the sign problem. SPADE follows a divide-and-conquer strategy: adaptive clustering of particles via controlling their number-theoretic discrepancies and independent random matching in each cluster. The target is to alleviate the oversampling problem induced by the overpartitioning of phase space and to capture the nonclassicality of the Wigner function simultaneously. Combining SPADE with the variance reduction technique based on the stationary phase approximation, we attempt to simulate the proton-electron couplings in six- and 12-dimensional phase space. A thorough performance benchmark of SPADE is provided with the reference solutions in six-dimensional phase space produced by a characteristic-spectral-mixed scheme under a 733*803 uniform grid, which fully explores the limit of grid-based deterministic Wigner solvers.
Gu J. Peer influence, market power, and enterprises' green innovation: Evidence from Chinese listed firms. Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management [Internet]. 2024;31(1):108-121. 访问链接Abstract
In the era of a green economy, green innovation has become a way for enterprises to gain competitive advantage, and it is of great theoretical and practical significance to explore the driving force of enterprises' green innovation. This study explores the peer effect of an enterprise's green innovation and conducts an empirical test using data from 3338 Chinese listed companies in 2020. The results show a significant positive peer effect of enterprises' green innovation, and the green innovation of individual enterprises increases by 0.869 for each unit increase in industry-average green innovation. Further research shows that market power is the channel by which peer influence affects an enterprise's green innovation. Moreover, regional heterogeneity exists in the strength of the peer effect, which varies according to firm maturity and board size. These findings provide a reference for enterprises and governments to promote green transformation.
Li K, Xu L, Bai X, Zhang G, Zhang M, Huang Y. Potential environmental risks of field bio/non-degradable microplastic from mulching residues in farmland: Evidence from metagenomic analysis of plastisphere. Journal of Hazardous Materials [Internet]. 2024;465:133428. 访问链接Abstract
The plastisphere may act as reservoir of antibiotic resistome, accelerating global antimicrobial resistance dissemination. However, the environmental risks in the plastisphere of field microplastics (MPs) in farmland remain largely unknown. Here, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factors (VFs) on polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs) and polybutylene adipate terephthalate and polylactic acid microplastics (PBAT/PLA-MPs) from residues were investigated using metagenomic analysis. The results suggested that the profiles of ARG and VF in the plastisphere of PBAT/PLA-MPs had greater number of detected genes with statistically higher values of diversity and abundance than soil and PE-MP. Procrustes analysis indicated a good fitting correlation between ARG/VF profiles and bacterial community composition. Actinobacteria was the major host for tetracycline and glycopeptide resistance genes in the soil and PE-MP plastisphere, whereas the primary host for multidrug resistance genes changed to Proteobacteria in PBAT/PLA-MP plastisphere. Besides, three human pathogens, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Lactobacillus plantarum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were identified in the plastisphere. The PE-MP plastisphere exhibited a higher transfer potential of ARGs than PBAT/PLA-MP plastisphere. This work enhances our knowledge of potential environmental risks posed by microplastic in farmland and provides valuable insights for risk assessment and management of agricultural mulching applications.
Cao Z, Hu Y*, Zhang P*. Predicting sulfate mineral scale solubility with machine learning. Journal of Cleaner Production [Internet]. 2024. LinkAbstract
Mineral scale refers to the hard inorganic solids nucleated on substrates or deposited from the aqueous phase. The formation and deposition of barium sulfate and strontium sulfate in various industries, such as water treatment and oilfield operations, can significantly impact facility operations, posing serious threats. Machine learning (ML) approaches have been adopted recently in scale threat predictions to address the limitations of conventional scaling prediction models. However, there are few reports on collecting sulfate mineral scaling data, employing ML methods for data analysis, and evaluating the modeling results to gain deeper insights of sulfate mineral scaling process and to improve the accuracy of sulfate scaling threat prediction. Despite comprehensive experimental studies, the literature does not provide adequate guidance for identifying the influence on the solubility of barium sulfate and strontium sulfate under different aqueous environments and actual operating conditions. To this end, this study collected 1600 experimental datasets of barium/strontium sulfate from the literature to construct and evaluate the reliability and versatility of a ML-based model for sulfate solubility calculations. Single neural networks, hybrid neural networks, and optimization algorithms were employed to build solubility prediction models for barium sulfate and strontium sulfate across a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and different ions. The model's applicability in predicting sulfate scaling threats in various actual operating environments demonstrated its broad usability, consistent with its actual performance. This study marks the first stride towards constructing a reliable model for identifying the scaling trends of barium sulfate and strontium sulfate across various operating conditions, underscoring the importance of developing robust and accurate prediction models to address challenges in various industrial systems.

Xu JY, Chen ZM. Quantifying bimolecular reaction kinetics of isoprene hydroxy peroxy radical: From dry to highly humid atmospheric environment. Atmospheric Environment [Internet]. 2024;333:120627. 访问链接Abstract
Isoprene hydroxy peroxy radicals (ISOPOO), derived from isoprene oxidation by hydroxy radicals (OH), are key intermediates for ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in the atmosphere. Although ISOPOO-water complexes are ubiquitous, their impacts on ISOPOO chemistry remain obscure. Here the previously overlooked water effect on the bimolecular reaction kinetics of ISOPOO was investigated in an oxidative flow reactor. The major first-generation products of ISOPOO, isoprene hydroxy hydroperoxides (ISOPOOH), methacrolein (MACR), and methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), were measured simultaneously at various relative humidity (RH) with the help of a cold trap to avoid potential losses in direct gas sampling. We found that ISOPOO reactions were accelerated significantly under wet conditions, with a greater enhancement on 1,2-ISOPOO than 4,3-ISOPOO. 1,2-ISOPOOH yield appeared faster growth with RH than 4,3-ISOPOOH. MVK yield showed an upward-downward trend with RH, while MACR yield plateaued from 30% RH. To explain the enhancement in the ISOPOOH yield from 3% to 80% RH, the overall rate constants of 1,2-ISOPOO + HO2 and 4,3-ISOPOO + HO2 reactions at 80% RH should be 13 times and twice those at 3% RH, respectively. The empirical formulas were proposed for the first time to parameterize the water effect on ISOPOO + HO2 reactions. The updated kinetics of ISOPOO reactions were incorporated in a box model to simulate the RH-dependent ISOPOOH and C4 carbonyl yields under typical atmospheric conditions. High RH can enhance the ISOPOOH yield in urban, rural, and forest areas, and promote SOA formation correspondingly. Our findings shed light on the critical role of humidity in the reactions of ISOPOO and benefit evaluating the fate of isoprene and its impacts on air quality more accurately in the ambient atmosphere.
