Intellectual property protection as catalyst for radical technological innovation in national research program teams through innovation milieu and group potentials.

Based on the innovation-driven theory and the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) perspective, we explore the role of intellectual property protection (IPP) in enhancing the radical technological innovation (RTI) of national research project teams (NRPT). Survey data from 336 national research project team members from universities and enterprises were used to analyze the theoretical model of this study, bringing in the chain-mediated effects of innovation milieu (IM) and group potential (GP) for analysis, as well as two-stage hybrid partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and artificial neural network techniques (ANN) to evaluate the hypotheses. The empirical findings of this paper show that the strength of IPP has a positive relationship with RTI of NRPT, and that IPP is the most important predictor of this.

Sowing depth stability analysis and test verification of no-tillage planter parallel 4-bar row unit.

The sowing depth stability and consistency of the no-tillage planter, particularly the high-speed operation, are poor. A reason for this is that the structure and parameter selection of no-tillage planter row unit profiling mechanism are unreasonable. The stability and consistency of sowing depth is beneficial when the upper and lower links of the parallel 4-bar profiling mechanism (PFPM) are parallel to the ground, but this principle is not satisfied on the uneven no-till soil.

Excited-state inter-ligand photon transfer (ESILPT) greatly contributes to superior TEET property and outstanding luminometric behavior.

Strengthened Optical Nonlinearity of VC Hybrids Inlaid with Silver Nanoparticles.

The investigation of nonlinear optical characteristics resulting from the light-matter interactions of two-dimensional (2D) nano materials has contributed to the extensive use of photonics. In this study, we synthesize a 2D MXene (VC) monolayer nanosheet by the selective etching of Al from VAlC at room temperature and use the nanosecond Z-scan technique with 532 nm to determine the nonlinear optical characters of the Ag@VC hybrid. The z-scan experiment reveals that Ag@VC hybrids usually exhibits saturable absorption owing to the bleaching of the ground state plasma, and the switch from saturable absorption to reverse saturable absorption takes place.

Qualification and quantification of trace organic contaminants necessitates development of highly efficient sensing system, where excited-state inter-ligand proton transfer (ESILPT) provides a feasible pathway to construct efficient chemo-sensors.

As a result, Eu-DBM-MeOH exhibits excellent photophysical properties with characteristic luminescence of Eu ion.

Channel Exchanging for RGB-T Tracking.

It is difficult to achieve all-weather visual object tracking in an open environment only utilizing single modality data input. Due to the complementarity of RGB and thermal infrared (TIR) data in various complex environments, a more robust object tracking framework can be obtained using video data of these two modalities. The fusion methods of RGB and TIR data are the core elements to determine the performance of the RGB-T object tracking method, and the existing RGB-T trackers have not solved this problem well.

Ultrathin Phosphate-Modulated Co Phthalocyanine/g-CN Heterojunction Photocatalysts with Single Co-N (II) Sites for Efficient O Activation.

Realization of solar-driven aerobic organic transformation under atmospheric pressure raises the great challenge for efficiently activating O by tailored photocatalysts. Guided by theoretical calculation, phosphate groups are used to induce the construction of ultrathin Co phthalocyanine/g-CN heterojunctions (CoPc/P-CN, ≈4 nm) via strengthened H-bonding interfacial connection, achieving an unprecedented 14-time photoactivity improvement for UV-vis aerobic 2,4-dichlorophenol degradation compared to bulk CN by promoted activation of O. It is validated that more O radicals are produced through the improved photoreduction of O by accelerated photoelectron transfer from CN to the ligand of CoPc and then to the abundant single Co-N (II) catalytic sites, as endowed by the matched dimension, intimate interface even at the molecular level, and high CoPc dispersion of resulted heterojunctions.
