In order to improve the consumption of renewable energies, certain amounts of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler units should assume the task of deep peak regulation. However, the effect of CFB boiler load on pollutant emissions such as NO still needs to be clarified. In this paper, the NO emission characteristics of two industrial-scale CFB boilers within a wide load range (35%-100%) were further analyzed by using a comprehensive one-dimensional, two-phase CFB mathematical model. Simulation results reveal that, when the load ratio decreases, the NO emission decreases first and then increases. The non-monotonic variation trend is also confirmed by the operational data collected from the SC-350 boiler. However, for different boilers, the load ratio corresponding to the turning point of NO emission may be different, e.g., for the 135 MW super high steam pressure boiler, it is about 40%, while for the 350 MW supercritical boiler is 50%. On the one hand, the decrease in boiler load leads to a decline in the furnace temperature, which contributes to reducing NO emission due to the decrease of volatile yields, the lower conversion rate of Vol-N to NO, and the enhancement of the overall NO reduction on chars. On the other hand, at low loads, the excess air coefficient is generally set to high values, and air staging is weakened, resulting in adverse effects on the NO emission control. In addition, when the CFB boiler operates at low loads, the solid circulation loop performance usually worsens, and the heat loss caused by incomplete combustion may increase. This study points out that high NO emission is an unavoidable issue in the process of deep peak regulation for CFB boilers.

This study proposes a novel framework using graph convolutional networks to analyze and interpret X-ray diffraction patterns, addressing challenges in phase identification for multi-phase materials. By representing X-ray diffraction patterns as graphs, the framework captures both local and global relationships between diffraction peaks, enabling accurate phase identification even in the presence of overlapping peaks and noisy data. The framework outperforms traditional machine learning models, achieving a precision of 0.

Accurately predicting algal blooms remains a critical challenge due to their dynamic and non-stationary nature, compounded by high-frequency fluctuations and noise in monitoring data. Additionally, a common issue in time-series forecasting is data replication, where models tend to replicate historical patterns rather than capturing true future variations, leading to inaccurate forecasts during abrupt changes. To address these challenges, we developed a hybrid deep learning model (TAB) that integrates a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), an attention mechanism, and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network.

Multidimensional NMR spectroscopy contains a large amount of molecular-level species and structure information, which is of great significance in various disciplines; however, it is unfortunately limited by lengthy acquisition times. Undersampling signals accompanied by spectral reconstruction provide a powerful and efficient way to accelerate its implementation. However, the accurate reconstruction of weak peaks remains a crucial issue to compromise the reconstruction performance.

In the Guxu mining area, the mining of thin coal seams is complicated by the unknown migration structure of the roof overburden and severe mine pressure. Based on this, taking the 1599 working face as the research background, and using a method that combines theory with simulation, starting from the structural fracture of roof overburden rock in thin coal seams, the roof failure characteristics during the mining process are studied, and the roof caving shape and stress distribution characteristics under the influence of mining speed are studied is explored. The research results show that a cantilever beam with a short length forms in the overburden rock of the soft bedrock roof during thin coal seams mining.

Detection and classification of cardiovascular diseases are crucial for early diagnosis and prediction of heart-related conditions. Existing methods rely on either electrocardiogram or phonocardiogram signals, resulting in higher false positive rates. Solely ECG misses the murmurs associated with the narrowing of the blood vessels caused by abnormalities in the heart.
