    Abstract The massive stockpiling of electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) has caused serious environmental pollution. In this study, EMR, coal gangue (CG), and fly ash (FA) were used as raw materials to obtain the optimal mix ratio based on Design-Expert mixture design. The effects of activator modulus, liquid-solid (L/S) ratio, and curing temperature on the mechanical properties of geopolymers were investigated. The results showed that the compressive strength of the prepared geopolymer was 12.0 MPa, and the 28d leaching of Mn was 0.123 mg/L under the conditions of EMR:CG:FA = 0.43:0.34:0.23, L/S = 0.9, a curing temperature of 60 °C, and a curing time of 24 h. This indicates that the geopolymer is an environmentally friendly material with high compressive strength. The mineral composition of the geopolymer is mainly hydrated calcium silicate and geopolymer gel. In addition, a more stable new mineral phase, MnSiO

    Abstract Background: Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is a devastating acute or subacute neurological disorder caused by thiamine deficiency. Wernicke encephalopathy is characterized by the triad of ocular signs, cerebellar dysfunction, and confusion. Visual loss and hearing loss are less common findings in WE. Here, we report a case of Wernicke encephalopathy in a nonalcoholic liver cirrhosis patient who presented with acute bilateral deafness and bilateral blindness. CASE PRESENTATION: A 60-year-old Chinese man presented with a history of bilateral blindness and bilateral hypoacousia for 3 days. He had a history of liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis C virus infection and did not have a habit of alcohol consumption. Ophthalmologic and otologic examinations showed no obvious abnormalities. MRI findings revealed symmetric fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensities in the bilateral medial dorsal thalamus, periventricular region around the third ventricle and tectum, and dorsal medulla oblongata. One day after hospitalization, the patient developed a mild coma. Based on the laboratory and neuroimaging findings, we diagnosed the patient with Wernicke encephalopathy. He soon regained consciousness after administration of thiamine. Both his visual acuity and his hearing function improved gradually.
    Conclusions: We suggest that Wernicke encephalopathy can present with bilateral blindness and bilateral deafness.

    Abstract Secondary sulfur pollution in dyeing sludge (DS) during drying and incineration is a major environmental problem necessitating in-situ control. To robustly immobilise sulfur during drying-incineration, the authors introduce an electromagnetic induction (EMI) drying method and reveal the corresponding migration and conversion of sulfur in DS. The EMI-drying efficiency reached 10.69%/min, five times that of thermal drying. EMI drying increases the relative sulfoxide ratio from that of thermal drying. In a sludge-sulfur model, the proposed treatment promoted the oxidation and decomposition of organic sulfur without noticeably affecting the inorganic sulfur. The selective oxidation process during EMI drying promotes sulfur stabilisation in dried DS, decreasing the performance and stability of DS combustion. The sulfur-containing pollutants released during the incineration of DS mainly contain H

    Abstract Realizing the utilization of reclaimed asphalt binder (RAB) and rice husk (RH) to reduce environmental pollution and expand the reutilization technique of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), co-pyrolysis of RAB with RH has great potential. In this study, the co-pyrolysis behaviors, gaseous products, and kinetics were evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR). The results showed that incorporating RH into RAB improved its pyrolysis characteristics. The interactions between RAB and RH showed initial inhibition followed by subsequent promotion. The primary gaseous products formed during co-pyrolysis were aliphatic hydrocarbons, water, and carbon dioxide, along with smaller amounts of aldehydes and alcohols originating from RH pyrolysis. All average activation energy values for the blends, determined through iso-conversional methods, decreased with RH addition. The combined kinetic analysis revealed two distinct mechanisms: (1) at the lower conversion range, the pyrolysis of the blend followed a random nucleation and three-dimensional growth mechanism, while (2) at the higher conversion range, the control mechanism transitioned into three-dimensional diffusion.

    Abstract In order to meet the requirements of industrial-scale fixed beds and develop an excellent adsorbent for asphalt VOCs. Zeolite ceramsite containing binder was prepared and successfully applied to the inhibition of asphalt VOCs. The results showed that prepared zeolite ceramsite possessed a high degree of crystallinity, and its main crystal phase is zeolite. The micropores with a pore size of 0.88 nm dominated the pore size distribution of the material. The adsorption experiment of asphalt VOCs showed a lower VOCs adsorption effect of 8.72% at a small dosage of 5%, while at a large dosage of 50%, the adsorption effect of VOCs exceeded 45%. This might be caused by the quite small external specific surface area, which occupied only 8.3% of the total specific surface area, and the low intraparticle diffusion coefficient due to the micropores. Meanwhile, the kinetics diameters of most aromatic hydrocarbons, which were comparable to the pore size of micropores, and the increase in the intraparticle diffusion resistance of aliphatic hydrocarbon molecules were the important factors in obtaining high adsorption of aromatic hydrocarbons in asphalt VOCs. Furthermore, the results indicated that the particulate adsorbent with a microporous structure should be mixed into the asphalt as a fine aggregate rather than an asphalt modifier for better asphalt VOCs adsorption effect.

    Abstract Carrying out research on the management of electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) is necessary to maintain the environment and human health. The dredged sludge (DS) and water hyacinth (WH) generated from dredging projects are potential environmental threats, and therefore suitable methods need to be found for their treatment. In this study, ceramsite was prepared by a two-step low-temperature firing method using DS and EMR as raw materials, WH as a pore-forming additive, and aluminate cement as a binder for the adsorption of phosphorus from wastewater. The optimal ratio and process parameters of the ceramsite were determined by mechanical and adsorption properties. The static adsorption experiments were conducted to study the effect of ceramsite dosage and solution pH on the removal of phosphorus. At the same time, dynamic adsorption experiments were designed to consider the influence of flow rate on its actual absorption effect, to explore the actual effect of ceramsite in wastewater treatment, and to derive a dynamic adsorption model that can provide technical support and theoretical guidance for environmental management.

    Abstract Crowdsourcing data from connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) is a cost-efficient way to achieve high-definition maps with up-to-date transient road information. Achieving the map with deterministic latency performance is, however, challenging due to the unpredictable resource competition and distributional resource demands. In this paper, we propose CoMap, a new crowdsourcing high definition (HD) map to minimize the monetary cost of network resource usage while satisfying the percentile requirement of end-to-end latency. We design a novel CROP algorithm to learn the resource demands of CAV offloading, optimize offloading decisions, and proactively allocate temporal network resources in a fully distributed manner. In particular, we create a prediction model to estimate the uncertainty of resource demands based on Bayesian neural networks and develop a utilization balancing scheme to resolve the imbalanced resource utilization in individual infrastructures. We evaluate the performance of CoMap with extensive simulations in an automotive edge computing network simulator. The results show that CoMap reduces up to 80.4% average resource usage as compared to existing solutions.

    Abstract Automating configuration is the key path to achieving zero-touch network management in ever-complicating mobile networks. Deep learning techniques show great potential to automatically learn and tackle high-dimensional networking problems. The vulnerability of deep learning to deviated input space, however, raises increasing deployment concerns under unpredictable variabilities and simulation-to-reality discrepancy in real-world networks. In this paper, we propose a novel RoNet framework to improve the robustness of neural-assisted configuration policies. We formulate the network configuration problem to maximize performance efficiency when serving diverse user applications. We design three integrated stages with novel normal training, learn-to-attack, and robust defense method for balancing the robustness and performance of policies. We evaluate RoNet via the NS-3 simulator extensively and the simulation results show that RoNet outperforms existing solutions in terms of robustness, adaptability, and scalability.

    Abstract Cooperative perception is the key approach to augment the perception of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) toward safe autonomous driving. However, it is challenging to achieve real-time perception sharing for hundreds of CAVs in large-scale deployment scenarios. In this paper, we propose AdaMap, a new high-scalable real-time cooperative perception system, which achieves assured percentile end-to-end latency under time-varying network dynamics. To achieve AdaMap, we design a tightly coupled data plane and control plane. In the data plane, we design a new hybrid localization module to dynamically switch between object detection and tracking, and a novel point cloud representation module to adaptively compress and reconstruct the point cloud of detected objects. In the control plane, we design a new graph-based object selection method to un-select excessive multi-viewed point clouds of objects, and a novel approximated gradient descent algorithm to optimize the representation of point clouds. We implement AdaMap on an emulation platform, including realistic vehicle and server computation and a simulated 5G network, under a 150-CAV trace collected from the CARLA simulator. The evaluation results show that, AdaMap reduces up to 49x average transmission data size at the cost of 0.37 reconstruction loss, as compared to state-of-the-art solutions, which verifies its high scalability, adaptability, and computation efficiency.

    Abstract Although incineration is a recommended disposal strategy for dyeing sludge (DS), sulfurous gases problem is severe. Wood sawdust (WS) and rice husk (RH) are eco-friendly and CO₂-neutral additives to relieve sulfur emission from DS incineration. However, the interaction between organic sulfur and biomass is uninterpreted. This study explores the effect of WS and RH on the combustion behavior and sulfur evolution from organic sulfur model compound combustion via thermogravimetry (TG) with mass spectrometry (MS). Results indicated that the sulfone and mercaptan combustion activities in DS were more drastic than in other forms. WS and RH additives generally deteriorated the combustibility and burnout performance of model compounds. The combustion of mercaptan and sulfone in DS contributed to most gaseous sulfur pollutants, where CH₃SH and SO₂ were the predominant forms. WS and RH minimized the sulfur release from mercaptan and sulfone incineration, whose in-situ retention ratios reached 20.14 % and 40.57 %. The retention mechanism to sulfur could be divided into: (1) Diffusion stage: the closed structure of biomass residue restrained sulfurous gases from escaping. (2) Chemical reaction stage: multiple sulfation occurred and inhibited sulfur release. Ca/K sulfate and compound sulfates were predisposed and thermostable sulfur-fixing products for the mercaptan–WS and sulfone–RH co-combustion systems.
