4DEnVar-based inversion system for ammonia emission estimation in China through assimilating IASI ammonia retrievals

Atmospheric ammonia has been hazardous to the environment and human health for decades. Current inventories are usually constructed in a bottom-up manner and subject to uncertainties and incapable of reproducing the spatiotemporal characteristics of ammonia emission. Satellite measurements, for example, Infrared Atmospheric Sounder...

Effects of microporous layer on electrolyte flooding in gas diffusion electrodes and selectivity of CO₂ electrolysis to CO

Understanding the relationship between gas diffusion electrode (GDE) structures and the performance of electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) is crucial to developing industrial-scale technologies to convert CO₂ to valuable products. We studied how the microporous layer (MPL) on GDE's coated with...

Automatic depression recognition by intelligent speech signal processing: A systematic survey

Depression has become one of the most common mental illnesses in the world. For better prediction and diagnosis, methods of automatic depression recognition based on speech signal are constantly proposed and updated, with a transition from the early traditional methods based on hand-crafted features to the application of architectures of deep...

Generating sparse self-supporting wireframe models for 3D printing using mesh simplification

Wireframe models are becoming a popular option in 3D printing. Generating sparse wireframe models using classic mesh simplification methods leads to models that require a lot of support structures in the layer-upon-layer additive process. In this paper we present a mesh simplification method that takes into account the overhang angle....
