    Abstract The multidimensional motion ultrasonic motor with a single spherical stator is studied in this paper. It has the characteristics of miniaturization and can be used in precision motion applications. By bonding six identical pieces of piezoelectric ceramic onto the stator and applying the voltage signal of high frequency, the deformation of the inverse piezoelectric effect is used to excite the stator yaw vibration mode. The orthogonal superposition of the modes of the spherical stator on the driving foot produces elliptical trajectory around X, Y, and Z directions by different excitation methods. According to the yaw vibration mode of the spherical stator, 12 driving feet are designed to drive the rotation of the spherical rotor. The structure and mechanical characteristics of the motor are simulated by using simulation software, and the transient response of the stator driving foot was obtained, which proved its feasibility. Finally, the output performance of the motor in actual operation is given through experiments, which provides a new reference scheme in the field of precise multi-degree-of-freedom motion. At a voltage of 100 V and a frequency of 26.7 kHz, the prototype has a no-load speed of 73, 70, and 114 rpm around X, Y, and Z axes, respectively.

    Abstract Understanding 3-D scene geometry from videos is a fundamental topic in visual perception. In this article, we propose an unsupervised monocular depth and camera motion estimation framework using unlabeled monocular videos to overcome the limitation of acquiring per-pixel ground-truth depth at scale. The photometric loss couples the depth network and pose network together and is essential to the unsupervised method, which is based on warping nearby views to target using the estimated depth and pose. We introduce the channelwise attention mechanism to dig into the relationship between channels and introduce the spatialwise attention mechanism to utilize the inner-spatial relationship of features. Both of them applied in depth networks can better activate the feature information between different convolutional layers and extract more discriminative features. In addition, we apply the Sobel boundary to our edge-aware smoothness for more reasonable accuracy, and clearer boundaries and structures. All of these help to close the gap with fully supervised methods and show high-quality state-of-the-art results on the KITTI benchmark and great generalization performance on the Make3D dataset.

    Abstract The influence of biochar on the biodegradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been extensively studied. However, the underlying mechanisms behind the response of functional microbial consortia to biochar remain poorly understood. Herein, we systematically explored the effect of biochar on 2,2',4,4'-tetrabrominated ether (BDE-47) biodegradation, and investigated the interaction and assembly mechanism of the functional bacterial consortium QY2. The results revealed that the biodegradation efficiency of QY2 for BDE-47 increased from 53.85% to 94.11% after the addition of biochar. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix and electrochemical analysis showed that biochar-attached biofilms were rich in redox-active extracellular polymeric substances (EPS, 3.03-fold higher than free cell), whose strong interaction with biochar facilitated the electron transfer of the biofilm, thus enhancing the debromination degradation of BDE-47. Meanwhile, the assembly model and molecular ecological networks analysis indicated that bacterial community assembly in biofilms was more driven by deterministic processes (environmental selection >75.00%) upon biochar stimulation and exhibited closer interspecific cooperative interactions, leading to higher biodiversity and broader habitat niche breadth for QY2 in response to BDE-47 disturbance. Potential degraders (Methylobacterium, Sphingomonas, Microbacterium) and electrochemical bacteria (Ochrobactrum) were selectively enriched, whose role as keystone bacteria may be participated in biofilm formation and redox-active EPS secretion (r > 0.5, P < 0.05). These findings deepen the understanding of the mechanisms by which biochar promotes microbial degradation of PBDEs and provided a theoretical basis for better regulation of functional bacterial communities during environmental remediation.

    Abstract 2,3',4,4',5-pentachlorodiphenyl (PCB 118), a highly representative PCB congener, has been frequently detected in various environments, garnering much attention across the scientific community. The degradation of highly chlorinated PCBs by aerobic microorganisms is challenging due to their hydrophobicity and persistence. Herein, the biodegradation and adaptation mechanisms of Methylorubrum sp. ZY-1 to PCB 118 were comprehensively investigated using an integrative approach that combined degradation performance, product identification, metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses. The results indicated that the highest degradation efficiency of 0.5 mg L

    Abstract As one of the most frequently detected PCB congeners in human adipose tissue, 2,2',3,4,4',5,5'-heptachlorobiphenyl (PCB 180) has attracted much attention. However, PCB 180 is difficult to be directly utilized by microorganisms due to its hydrophobicity and obstinacy. Herein, methanol (5 mM) as a co-metabolic carbon source significantly stimulated the degradation performance of microbial consortium QY2 for PCB 180 (51.9% higher than that without methanol addition). Six metabolic products including low-chlorinated PCBs and chlorobenzoic acid were identified during co-metabolic degradation, denoting that PCB 180 was metabolized via dechlorination, hydroxylation and ring-opening pathways. The oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by PCB 180 were dose-dependent, but the addition of methanol effectively promoted the tolerance of consortium QY2 to resist unfavorable environmental stress. Additionally, the significant reduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhancement of cell viability during methanol co-metabolic degradation proved that the degradation was a detoxification process. The microbial community and network analyses suggested that the potential PCB 180 degrading bacteria in the community (e.g., Achromobacter, Cupriavidus, Methylobacterium and Sphingomonas) and functional abundance of metabolic pathways were selectively enriched by methanol, and the synergies among species whose richness increased after methanol addition might dominate the degradation process. These findings provide new insights into the biodegradation of PCB 180 by microbial consortium.

    Abstract 2,3′,4,4′,5-pentachlorodiphenyl (PCB 118), a dioxin-like PCB, is often detected in the environment and is difficult to be aerobically biodegraded. In this study, a novel polychlorinated biphenyl degrading consortium GYB1 that can metabolize PCB 118 was successfully obtained by acclimatization process. To enhance the application performance of free bacterial cells, consortium GYB1 was immobilized with sodium alginate and biochar to prepare SC-GYB1 beads. Orthogonal experiments indicated that the optimal composition of the beads (0.2 g) was 2.0% sodium alginate (SA) content, 2.0% wet weight of cells and 1.5% biochar content, which can degrade 50.50% PCB 118 in 5 d. Immobilization shortened the degradation half-life of 1 mg/L PCB 118 by consortium GYB1 from 8.14 d to 3.79 d and made the beads more robust to respond to environmental stress. The SC-GYB1 beads could even keep considerable PCB degradation ability under 200 mg/L Cd²⁺ stress. According to 16S rRNA gene analysis, Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas played the dominant role in consortium GYB1. And embedding obviously altered the community structure and the key bacterial genera during the PCB removal process. Therefore, the immobilization of bacteria consortium by sodium alginate-biochar enhanced the biodegradation of PCB 118, which will provide new insights into functional microorganisms' actual application for PCB restoration.

    Abstract Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), together with 11 other organic compounds, were initially listed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by the Stockholm Convention because of their potential threat to ecosystems and humans. In China, many monitoring studies have been undertaken to reveal the level of PCBs in environment since 2005 due to the introduced stricter environmental regulations. However, there are still significant gaps in understanding the overall spatial and temporal distributions of PCBs in China. This review systematically discusses the occurrence and distribution of PCBs in environmental matrices, organisms, and humans in China. Results showed that PCB contamination in northern and southern China was not significantly different, but the PCB levels in East China were commonly higher than those in West China, which might have been due to the widespread consumption of PCBs and intensive human activities in East China. Serious PCB contamination was found in e-waste disassembling areas (e.g., Taizhou of Zhejiang Province and Qingyuan and Guiyu of Guangdong Province). Higher PCB concentrations were also chronicled in megalopolises and industrial clusters. The unintentionally produced PCBs (UP-PCBs) formed during industrial thermal processes may play an increasingly significant role in PCB pollution in China. Low PCB levels were recorded in rural and underdeveloped districts, particularly in remote and high-altitude localities such as the Tibetan Plateau and the South China Sea. However, these data are limited. Human exposure to PCBs is closely related to the characteristics of environmental pollution. This review also discusses existing issues and future research prospects on PCBs in China. For instance, the accumulation characteristics and migration regularities of PCBs in food webs should be further studied. More investigations should be undertaken to assess the quantitative relationship between external and internal exposure to PCBs. For example, bioaccessibility and bioavailability studies should be supplemented to evaluate human health risks more accurately.

    Abstract A novel piezoelectric actuator using a two-stage flexure hinge structure is proposed in this paper, which is used in a compact and high-precision electromechanical field. The two-stage flexure hinge structure is used to provide horizontal thrust and vertical clamping force to the driving feet, which solves the problems of unstable clamping force and insufficient load capacity in traditional stick-slip piezoelectric actuators. Firstly, the main structure of the driver and the working process under the triangular wave excitation voltage are briefly introduced. Secondly, after many simulation tests, the structure of the actuator is optimized and the stability of the structure in providing clamping force is verified. Finally, through the research of the operating performance, when the amplitude is 150 V and the frequency is 3.25 kHz as the excitation source, the maximum speed can reach 338 mm/s and can bear about 3 kg load. It can be seen from the analysis that the two-stage flexure hinge structure can improve the displacement trajectory.
