The Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is a widely used method for managing energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, it has limitations that affect network longevity and performance. This paper presents an improved version of the LEACH protocol, termed MFG-LEACH, which incorporates the Mean Field Game (MFG) theory to optimize energy efficiency and network lifetime. The proposed MFG-LEACH protocol addresses the imbalances in energy consumption by modeling the interactions among nodes as a game, where each node optimizes its transmission energy based on the collective state of the network. We conducted extensive simulations to compare MFG-LEACH with Enhanced Zonal Stable Election Protocol (EZ-SEP), Energy-Aware Multi-Hop Routing (EAMR), and Balanced Residual Energy routing (BRE) protocols. The results demonstrate that MFG-LEACH significantly reduces energy consumption and increases the number of packets received across different node densities, thereby validating the effectiveness of our approach.

Electrochemical nitrate reduction (NORR) to ammonia presents a promising alternative strategy to the traditional Haber-Bosch process. However, the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) reduces the Faradaic efficiency toward ammonia, while the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) increases the energy consumption. This study designs IrCu alloy nanoparticles as a bifunctional catalyst to achieve efficient NORR and OER while suppressing the unwanted HER.

Few epidemiological studies have investigated associations between anthropogenic heat emissions (AE) and serum lipids. We recruited 15,477 adults from 33 communities in northeastern China in 2009. We estimated AE flux by using data on energy consumption and socio-economic statistics covering building, transportation, industry, and human metabolism.
