Several types of accidents, such as exposure to toxic gases, fires, or explosions, are encountered in process industries which are highly risk systems. To reduce risks and the consequences of disruptive events, resilience is recognized as one of the most important aspects of safety management, and resilience assessment in complex process systems plays an important role. This study examines methods for resilience assessment in process industries, by reviewing the published studies. Given the transient changes in resilience and performance variability due to complexity, it is examined which methods are more commonly applied for quantitative resilience assessments. As a result of the review of published literature, the most commonly used method to assess resilience in process industries is Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN). DBN may be used for the estimation of uncertainty and probability of resilience in chemical processes. The resilience of complex process systems, which consider some aspects of resilience like absorption, adaptation, and recovery, is addressed and modeled by DBN. This review provides information on the use of quantitative methods to assess the resilience of complex process systems, the estimation of failure probability, the determination of performance variability under complex conditions, and the model of interactions between the components of a complex process system.

To surmount the shortcomings of powder-based catalysts and small electrode sizes, the development of meter-scale integrated electrode materials is essential for practical electrocatalytic applications, which requires fine control over the effective surface grafting of catalytic active sites on large-size electrodes as well as addressing the challenge of balancing cost-effective and large-scale manufacturing with highly active and stable operation. Herein, we report a low-cost, facile, and scalable method for directly constructing meter-scale single-molecule-integrated catalytic electrodes using commercially available, flexible, and size-tailored conductive carbon textiles (e.g.

Quantum dots (QDs), particularly those in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) range, have garnered significant attention for their unique optical and electrical properties resulting from 3D quantum confinement. Among the various chalcogenide-based QDs, lead chalcogenides, such as PbS and PbSe, are extensively studied for infrared photodetection applications. While PbSe QDs offer advantages over PbS, including a narrower bandgap and higher carrier mobility, they suffer from stability issues due to surface oxidation and particle aggregation.

Carbon-based microwave absorption materials have garnered widespread attention as lightweight and efficient wave absorbers, emerging as a prominent focus in the field of functional materials research. In this work, FeNi nanoparticles, synthesized in situ within graphite interlayers, were employed as catalysts to grow carbon nanofibers in situ via intercalation chemical vapor deposition (CVD). We discovered that amorphous carbon nanofibers (CNFs) can exfoliate and separate highly conductive graphite nanosheets (GNS) from the interlayers.

Ultrafast laser processing is a critical technology for micro- and nano-fabrication due to its ability to minimize heat-affected zones. The effects of intensity variation on the ultrafast laser ablation of fused silica were investigated to gain fundamental insights into the dynamic modulation of pulse intensity. This study revealed significant enhancement in ablation efficiency for downward ramp intensity modulation compared to the upward ramp.

With the advancement of industrial production and urban modernization, pollution from heavy metal ions and the accumulation of solid waste have become critical global environmental challenges. Establishing an effective recycling system for solid waste and removing heavy metals from wastewater is essential. Coal gangue was used in this study as the primary material for the synthesis of a fully coal gangue-based phosphorus-silicon-aluminum (SAPO-5) molecular sieve through a hydrothermal process.
