AI Article Synopsis

  • This study presents a methodology for reconstructing China's temperature index from 1368 to 1911 using the REACHES database, which digitizes historical meteorological records.
  • The reconstruction utilizes an ordinal scale ranging from -2 (very cold) to 1 (warm) and retrieved 12,871 records through a standardized coding system.
  • The reconstructed temperature index was validated against early instrumental data, demonstrating strong correlations, and annual and seasonal temperature series were produced for both the entire country and specific geographical regions.

Article Abstract

This study reports the methodology for reconstructing anomalous temperature index series of China in 1368-1911 based on the REACHES database which digitizes the Chinese records quoted in the Compendium of Meteorological Records of China in the Last 3000 Years. The reconstruction adopts an ordinal scale index approach ranging from -2 (very cold) to 1 (warm). Based on the grading criteria, a total of 12,871 records were retrieved through a standard coding system established at REACHES. Sensitivity experiments were performed to test robustness of the index system and a reasonability test was conducted to develop an appropriate method for deriving areal mean temperature index. The reconstructed series were validated through comparison with early instrumental data from Global Historical Climatology Network which shows good correlations and reliability of the REACHES reconstructed index data. Annual and semi-annual (winter and summer) temperature index data series were released for the whole domain as well as the 3- and 15-subregion geographical domains in China.

In the post-lithium-ion battery era, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have been considered as a promising candidate because of their electrochemical and economic characteristics. However, as an emerging electrochemical storage technology, it is urgent to develop capable anode materials that can be produced at low cost and on a large scale to promote its practical application. Biomass-derived carbon materials as anodes of PIBs exhibit strong competitiveness by their merits of low weight, high stability, non-toxicity, and wide availability.

Magnetocaloric Effect in 3D Gd(III)-Oxalate Coordination Framework.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Structure and Functional Regulation of Hybrid Materials of Ministry of Education, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Institutes of Physical Science and Information Technology, Anhui University, Hefei 230601, China.

Cryogenic magnetic refrigerants based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) hold significant potential as substitutes for the expensive and scarce He-3. Gd(III)-based complexes are considered excellent candidates for low-temperature magnetic refrigerants. We have synthesized a series of Ln(III)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) (Ln = Gd/Dy) by the slow release of oxalates in situ from organic ligands (disodium edetate dehydrate (EDTA-2Na) and thiodiglycolic acid).

The ion binding to the lipid/water interface can substantially influence the structural, functional, and dynamic properties of the cell membrane. Despite extensive research on ion-lipid interactions, the specific effects of ion binding on the polarity and hydration at the lipid/water interface remain poorly understood. This study explores the influence of three biologically relevant divalent cations─Mg, Ca, and Zn─on the depth-dependent interfacial polarity and hydration of zwitterionic DPPC lipid in its gel phase at room temperature.
