We present an algorithm for constructing isosurfaces in any dimension. The input to the algorithm is a set of scalar values in a d-dimensional regular grid of (topological) hypercubes. The output is a set of (d-1)-dimensional simplices forming a piecewise linear approximation to the isosurface. The algorithm constructs the isosurface piecewise within each hypercube in the grid using the convex hull of an appropriate set of points. We prove that our algorithm correctly produces a triangulation of a (d-1)-manifold with boundary. In dimensions three and four, lookup tables with 2(8) and 2(16) entries, respectively, can be used to speed the algorithm's running time. In three dimensions, this gives the popular Marching Cubes algorithm. We discuss applications of four-dimensional isosurface construction to time varying isosurfaces, interval volumes, and morphing.

The use of a micropile group is an effective method for small and medium-sized slope management. However, there is limited research on the pile-soil interaction mechanism of micropile groups. Based on transparent soil and PIV technology, a test platform for the lateral load testing of slopes was constructed, and eight groups of transparent soil slope model experiments were performed.

Thallium (Tl) as a prominent priority contaminant in aquatic environment necessitates rigorous regulation. However, limited horizon devotes the impact of selective oxidation on the process of thallium purification. In this study, selective active radical of singlet oxygen (O) was continually generated for Tl(Ⅰ) oxidation accomplished with efficient Tl(Ⅲ) immobilization using iron-driven copper oxide (CuFe)/peroxymonosulfate (PMS).

To achieve a selective degradation of pollutants in a water body, 3D/1D magnetic molecularly imprinted fibers FeO@TiO/TC-TiO/SiO were fabricated by an electrospinning method. The molecularly imprinted layer was successfully prepared by a direct imprinting method using TiO as a functional monomer. FeO facilitates the catalyst recovery and light utilization.

In this study, we investigated the photo-catalytic mechanisms for the construction of C-O bonds from arenes (benzene, 2',6'-dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid, or 2,4-dichloro-1-fluorobenzene), catalyzed by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano--benzoquinone (DDQ). All the structures for the Gibbs free surfaces were calculated at the M06-2X-D3/ma-def2-SVP level in the SMD solvent model. Also, TDDFT calculations of DDQ were performed at the PBE1PBE-D3/ma-def2-SVP level in the SMD solvent model.
