As the world’s largest energy importer, consumer and with the second-largest economy, China is heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Massive energy imports make China a major stakeholder in the world energy trade, with significant implications and repercussions on the global economy. The desire to be energy independent and the environmental impact of fossil fuels is prompting China to diversify its energy supply, adapt its domestic energy infrastructure, and deploy renewable energy technologies on an unprecedented scale. Intending to position itself internationally, China has developed an energy diplomacy strategy while formulating international relations policies. In particular, the government emphasizes sustainable development through the large-scale deployment of renewable energy technologies, which will help build Western China while simultaneously reducing pollution across the country, elevating China to a position of global leadership in the energy sector. Intellectual property and technological capabilities developed in China can be exported worldwide, including in the regions where the population has limited or no access to energy. In addition, this strategy will have worldwide implications as it will directly or indirectly help achieve several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including clean energy, education, eradicating poverty, climate action and sustainable cities and communities. On this basis, we anticipate that China’s energy policies may have long-lasting prospects for global peace, thus constituting an interesting and relevant case study for the emerging concept of “peace engineering.”
The present paper aims to develop nano-thread materials for the settlement of the problem in acupoint catgut embedding therapy (ACET). On reviewing the current situation of ACET and pointing out the exiting problems and strategies, the authors explored the application of nano-technology in ACET, including developing nanometerized regular threads and nano material made threads. The nano-thread is supposed to better resolve the reverse reaction, improve the clinical therapeutic efficacy, and expand the clinical applications of ACET.
In order to further improve the performance of the automatic grammar error detection system, a new Chinese grammar recognition and correction model is proposed in this paper. Based on the transformer attention mechanism, the bias matrix of Gaussian distribution is added to improve the attention of the model to local text and strengthen the information extraction of wrong words and surrounding words in the wrong text. In addition, the ON_LSTM model is used to extract grammatical information from the special grammatical structure of error text. The experimental results show that the two methods can effectively improve the accuracy and recall rate, and the fused model achieves the highest F1 value. Finally, the Chinese text error correction system is designed to expand the application scope of the model, which helps to reduce the human cost in language learning.
For over 24 years the City of Lynchburg, Virginia has been pursuing a combined sewer overflow strategy of collection system separation along with upgrades to interceptor capacity and a rainleader disconnect program. Studies conducted in 1979Studies conducted in , 1989Studies conducted in , and 2000 set and then affirmed the strategy of complete separation. However, the 2013 Long Term Control Plan Update (LTCP) has indicated that the time for a major change in strategy with significant cost savings has now arrived.Reasons for the change include:1. New stormwater management mandates 2. Previously implementation of effective 'most efficient project first' strategies 3. Historic interceptor improvements 4. Better modeling technologies By combining the previously completed projects with the evolving stormwater regulations and modern computer modeling capabilities, a tipping point was reached where the benefits of all the previous improvements are now bringing a different strategy to the forefront. Thus, Lynchburg is proposing a 180 degree turn around in combined sewer overflow management strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
