    Abstract According to the data of the Research Report on online communities, the current online communities and the interaction between members rely on major platforms. Among them, WeChat has a relatively high degree of use, which can reach 61.1%, followed by self-built apps, which are used by 52.8% and 50.0%, respectively, providing a good communication space for community members. Users’ viscosity to the network is increasing, which makes users more dependent on the network. This is undoubtedly a squeeze for politics and advanced education. Therefore, based on the upgrading of education positions, ensuring the effectiveness of education puts forward higher requirements for the construction of education paths in the network community environment. Through the analysis of the topic map of social network public opinion users, models with different dimensions are built, so as to provide an effective theoretical basis for education and ensure the healthy development of online community environmental education.

    Abstract In recent decades, the study of groundwater flow and solute transport has advanced into new territories that are beyond conventional theories, such as Darcy's law and Fick's law. The studied media have changed from permeable porous and fractured ones to much less permeable ones, such as clay and shale. The studied pore sizes have also changed from millimetres to micro-meters or even nano-meters. The objective of this Special Issue is to report recent advances in groundwater flow and solute transport that push the knowledge boundary into new territories which include, but are not limited to, flow and transport in sloping aquifer/hillslopes, coupled unsaturated and saturated flow, coupled aquifer-vertical/horizontal/slant well flow, interaction of aquifer with connected and disconnected rivers, non-Darcian flow, anomalous transport beyond the Fickian scheme, and flow and transport in extremely small pore spaces such as shale and tight sandstones. Contributions focusing on innovative experimental, numerical, and analytical methods for understanding unconventional problems, such as the above-listed ones, are encouraged, and contributions addressing flow and transport at interfaces of different media and crossing multiple temporal and spatial scales are of great value

    Abstract Ambisonic room impulse responses (ARIRs) are recorded to capture the spatial acoustic characteristics of specific rooms, with widespread applications in virtual and augmented reality. While the first-order Ambisonics (FOA) microphone array is commonly employed for three-dimensional (3D) room acoustics recording due to its easy accessibility, higher spatial resolution necessitates using higher-order Ambisonics (HOA) in applications such as binaural rendering and sound field reconstruction. This paper introduces a novel approach, leveraging generative models to upmix ARIRs. The evaluation results validate the model’s effectiveness at upmixing first-order ARIRs to higher-order representations, surpassing the aliasing frequency limitations. Furthermore, the spectral errors observed in the Binaural Room Transfer Functions (BRTFs) indicate the potential benefits of using upmixed ARIRs for binaural rendering, significantly improving rendering accuracy.

    Abstract Bio-based materials have garnered considerable attention in the flame retardant field due to their inherent safety and environmental benefits. This study introduces a novel and eco-friendly flame retardant prepared through the Maillard reaction between glucose and poly(glutamic acid) for treating silk fabric. The study elucidates the synthesis of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) and verifies their deposition onto the silk fabric surface by observing changes in surface morphology, functional groups, and charged characteristics. The flammability tests demonstrate that MRPs treated silk fabrics had a high limiting oxygen index of over 27 % and a charred length of less than 12 cm, indicating effective flame retardancy. Moreover, the introduction of MRPs led to a significant decrease in smoke release when silk fabric underwent combustion. This observation can be attributed to the enhanced char formation and increased thermal degradation temperature of MRPs treated silk fabric. The electrostatic interaction between silk fiber and MRPs contributed to the fabric's resistance to repeated washing. Moreover, MRPs treated silk fabric retained their tensile properties and showed enhanced wrinkle-resistant performance. Generally, this research opens up a new path for the green preparation of halogen-free and phosphorus-free flame retardant protein fibers.

    Abstract This paper extends previous studies on the organizational innovation by analyzing the impact of talent ecosystem on firm innovation performance in innovative enterprises. In addition, the mediating effect of collaborative innovation on the relationship between talent ecosystem and firm innovation performance is analyzed. Grounded in the Resource -Based View (RBV) theory, this paper develops an integrative research model which analyzes those relations using structural equation modeling on a dataset of 176 innovative enterprises. Results suggest that talent competence, organizational environment and regional environment of talent ecosystem have a significant positive impact on collaborative innovation, and organizational environment has a stronger effect on collaborative innovation; talent ecosystem can influence innovation performance to different degrees through the mediating role of collaborative innovation (technology synergy and capability synergy); technology synergy in collaborative innovation positively affects innovation performance, while Technology synergy in collaborative innovation positively affects innovation performance, while capability synergy has no significant effect on innovation performance. The findings of the study provide new ideas for enterprises to improve talent ecosystem and enhance innovation performance.

    Abstract As a special single‐well test with dual‐screened configuration, dipole flow test with a tracer (DFTT) has been an efficient tool for aquifer parameter interpretation. The tool is excellent for characterizing the vertical distribution of hydraulic conductivity, dispersivity and in situ reaction rate in aquifers. It is noteworthy that the effects of skin and ambient groundwater flow (AGF) on the solute transport, which have been widely investigated in terms of conventional tracer tests, have not been comprehensively studied with respect to DFTT. Meanwhile, it is important to elucidate the potentials of DFTT in identifying the primary skin properties as well as the methods to avoid the AGF effects on DFTT. Consequently, we developed a mathematical model for DFTT accounting for skin and AGF. The results show that a negative skin acts as a preferential pathway for tracer transport and the AGF effects on breakthrough curves (BTCs) can be easily mistaken for reaction. Through extensive mathematical model‐based experiments, the BTCs calculated from the DFTT models with skin effects were categorized into four types, each of which is able to imply a specific kind of skin. Additionally, a new dimensionless parameter ξ′$$ {\xi}^{\prime } $$, composed of injection/extraction rate, hydraulic conductivity, hydraulic gradient of AGF and screen parameters, was defined to quantitatively indicate the AGF effects on the overestimation degree of the in situ first‐order reaction, implying that one can adjust the field parameters of DFTT to keep ξ′$$ {\xi}^{\prime } $$ less than 3.7% to achieve an overestimation error of reaction rate below 50%.

    Abstract ABSTRACTThe maintenance and restoration of wetland habitat is a priority conservation action for most waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species in North America. Despite much progress in targeting habitat management in staging and wintering areas, methods to identify and target high-quality breeding habitats that result in the greatest potential for wildlife are still required. This is particularly true for species that breed in remote, inaccessible areas such as the American black duck, an intensively managed game bird in Eastern North America. Although evidence suggests that black ducks prefer productive, nutrient-rich waterbodies, such as beaver ponds, information about the distribution and quality of these habitats across the vast boreal forest is lacking with accurate identification remaining a challenge. Continuing advancements in remote sensing technologies that provide spatially extensive and temporally repeated information are particularly useful in meeting this information gap. In this study, we used multi-source remotely sensed information and a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process to map the spatial distribution of beaver ponds in Ontario. The use of multi-source data, including a Digital Elevation Model, a Sentinel-2 Multi-Spectral Image, and RadarSat 2 Polarimetric data, enabled us to identify individual beaver ponds on the landscape. Our model correctly identified an average of 83.0% of the known beaver dams and 72.5% of the known beaver ponds based on validation with an independent dataset. This study demonstrates that remote sensing is an effective approach for identifying beaver-modified wetland features and can be applied to map these and other wetland habitat features of interest across large spatial extents. Furthermore, the systematic acquisition strategy of the remote sensors employed is well suited for monitoring changes in wetland conditions that affect the availability of habitats important to waterfowl and other wildlife.

    Abstract Abstract Steatosis, as the early stage of nonalcoholic fatty acid disease (NAFLD), would progress into nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver failure without intervention. Despite the development of animal models, there is still a lack of the human-relevant platform for steatosis modeling and drug & target discovery. Hendriks et al., reporting in Nature Biotechnology, leveraged human fetal liver organoids to recapitulate steatosis by introducing nutritional and genetic triggers. Using these engineered liver organoid-derived steatosis models, they screened drugs that alleviate steatosis, and mined common mechanism of effective compounds. Further, inspired by the results of drug screening, the arrayed CRISPR-LOF screening targeting 35 lipid metabolism genes was performed, and FADS2 was identified as a critical regulator of steatosis.
