A novel experimental method based on the combination of bio-oil composition inversion and function fitting was purposed and verified for describing the componential evolution curves during the liquefaction of biomass pyrolysis vapors. The evolution curves of representative condensable components were fitted by linear and Slogistic function in the short, middle and long three condensing fields. Linear function exhibited a significant effectiveness for the description and prediction of low-boiling water and furfural and the relative deviations were no more than 5% between actual values in long condenser and predictive values from the elongation of curves in short and middle condensers. For high-boiling phenolic compounds, linear function failed to fit their evolutions in long condenser but Slogistic fitting remained effective despite the relative deviation increasing to about 10%. This investigation provided a unique and effective prediction method for the vapor evolution in industrial shell and tube heat exchanger according to laboratory-scale experiment.

This article discusses how the and the to emotion may serve the future of affective sciences. A particular aim of the article is to show that an appraisal-based componential approach to emotion can help reconcile opposing theories. It begins by contextualizing the evolution of emotion science within the framework of affectivism, acknowledging that the significant epistemological differences between various theories have paradoxically spurred interest in studying emotion across various perspectives and disciplines.

Article Synopsis
  • Electrocatalytic CO reduction (eCOR) in acidic environments is a promising method for efficient CO utilization powered by renewable electricity, but is often hindered by competing hydrogen evolution reactions (HER).
  • Using cobalt phthalocyanine/Ketjen black (CoPc/KB) catalysts, researchers investigated factors like active site density and operational current density that influence eCOR selectivity and performance.
  • The optimal catalyst showed exceptional CO Faradaic efficiency and stability, with the presence of specific cations improving the electrostatic environment and preventing HER by altering interfacial water structure.

Despite the high theoretical capacity, silicon (Si) anode suffers from dramatical capacity loss, due to its massive volume swings (up to 300%) during cycling. Hence, thorough understanding of the structural evolution mechanism is necessary and essential for performance optimization of Si anode. Herein, a multi-scale three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction technique is firstly applied to visualize the structural evolution process of Si anodes.

There have been at least four types of dengue outbreaks in the past few years. The evolutionary characteristics of dengue viruses have aroused great concerns. The evolutionary characteristics of dengue 4 viruses are studied in the present study based on their base usage patterns and codon usage patterns.

The effect of heat exchange area on the componential evolutions of biomass pyrolysis vapors was visualized through an innovative combining method of bio-oil composition inversion and function fitting. As the maximal diameter of condenser at 340 K increased from 35 mm to 55 mm, the fitted heat maps showed that the recovery of organics increased in the top of condenser and remained steady in the bottom, whereas the water recovery only increased in the top but decreased in the bottom. The recovery proportion of furfural and phenolic compounds increased by 20-40% with unvaried water recovery, and the content enrichment of high value-added components increased by 30-45% at 37 wt% of bio-oil yield.
