    Abstract Abstract The most valuable contribution of Hartmut Rosa’s social theory is the extension of the scope of Critical Theory from the individual world and the social world to the thing-world. However, Rosa’s analysis of the thing-world is somewhat insufficient. The present article provides an attempt to apply new materialism to the thing-world to compensate for the missing elements of Rosa’s resonance theory. An examination and integration of two of the most representative theories of new materialism, namely agential realism and object-oriented ontology, yield four types (or quadrants) of thing-world relations based on intra-action or inter-action and on inclusion or exclusion: namely resonance, alienation, appropriation, and catastrophe. This quadrant can provide a clearer criterion for resonance in Rosa’s Critical Theory, and manifest that the problem in contemporary society we have to concern might exclusion instead of alienation.

    Abstract Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in continuous-flow reactors (CFRs) has attracted significant interest, with notable progress in research and application over the past two decades. Cumulative studies have shown that AGS-CFRs exhibit comparable morphology, settleability, and pollutant removal efficiency to AGS cultivated in sequencing batch reactors, despite their smaller particle sizes. Shear force and selection pressure are the primary drivers of granulation. While not mandatory for granulation, feast/famine conditions play a crucial role in ensuring long-term stability and nutrient removal. Additionally, bioaugmentation can facilitate the granulation process. Furthermore, this paper comprehensively assesses the application of AGS-CFRs in full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Currently, AGS-CFRs have been implemented in nine WWTPs, encompassing two distinct processes. Hydrocyclone-based densified activated sludge significantly enhances sludge density, settleability, and biological phosphorus removal efficiency, thus increasing treatment capacity. The microaerobic-aerobic configuration with internal separators can induce granulation, ensuring long-term stability, eliminating the need for external clarifiers, and reducing land and energy requirements. This review demonstrates the high potential of AGS-CFRs for intensifying existing WWTPs with minimal retrofitting needs. However, further research is required in granulation mechanisms, long-term stability, and nutrient removal to promote the widespread adoption of AGS.

    An ethnomethodological inquiry into the distinction between illustration and exhaustion

    Abstract Abstract This article explores the connection between two fields, artificial intelligence (AI) and transhumanist posthumanism. In linking them, the author proposes a distinction of "exhaustion/illustration" to extend various discussions of to what extent AI can learn from human intelligence (HI) and vice versa. Ethnomethodology, whose aim is to study how social members make social settings “observable and accountable”, may contribute to our understanding of how, if possible, AI makes its accountings and accounting practices “observable and accountable”. Through the lens of ethnomethodology, the distinction will be demonstrated as two logics of approaching and understanding the world. In the beginning, the logic of illustration, belonging to the human mind, creates distance between humans and their world to make things understandable, with no regard to how things can be truly represented or not. Later in the history of scientific and technological development, especially in pursuing exactness, steadiness, and predictability, the logic of exhaustion has been gradually developed to eliminate distance through formalizing almost everything, resulting in a situation in which humans and machines imitate each other and become intertwined. In rejecting the grand narratives as post-modernists stated, what comes after has been to be another narrative occupied by the logic of exhaustion. It is this narrative that has penetrated daily life and becomes omnipresent. Humanities can be endangered by internalizing the logic and the relationships between humans and machines cannot be appropriately evaluated if the logic of illustration has been kept overlooked.

    Abstract Artificial domestication provided the original motivation to the blooming of agriculture, following with the dramatic change of the genetic background of crops and livestock. According to theory and technology upgradation that contributing to the omics, we appreciate using the pan-genome instead of single reference genome for crop study. By comparison and integration of multiple genomes under the guidance of pan-genome theory, we can estimate the genomic information range of a species, leading to a global understanding of its genetic diversity. Combining pan-genome with large size chromosomal structural variations, high throughput population resequencing, and multi-omics data, we can profoundly study the genetic basis behind species traits we focus on. Soybean is one of the most important commercial crops over the world. It is also essential to our food security. Dissecting the formation of genetic diversity and the causal loci of key agricultural traits of soybean will make the modern soybean breeding more efficiently. In this review, we summarize the core idea of pan-genome and clarified the characteristics of construction strategies of pan-genome such as de novo/mapping assembly, iterative assembly and graph-based genome. Then we used the soybean pan-genome work as a case study to introduce the general way to study pan-genome. We highlighted the contribution of structural variation (SV) to the evolution/domestication of soybean and its value in understanding the genetic bases of agronomy traits. By those, we approved the value of graph-based pan-genome for data integration and SV calculation. Future research directions are also discussed for crop genomics and data science.

    Abstract Abstract Several artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been applied to assist in the selection of suitable three-dimensional (3D) printing facilities in ubiquitous manufacturing (UM). However, AI applications in this field may not be easily understood or communicated with, especially for decision-makers without relevant background knowledge, hindering the widespread acceptance of such applications. Explainable AI (XAI) has been proposed to address this problem. This study first reviews existing XAI techniques to explain AI applications in selecting suitable 3D printing facilities in UM. This study addresses the deficiencies of existing XAI applications by proposing four new XAI techniques: (1) a gradient bar chart with baseline, (2) a group gradient bar chart, (3) a manually adjustable gradient bar chart, and (4) a bidirectional scatterplot. The proposed methodology was applied to a case in the literature to demonstrate its effectiveness. The bidirectional scatterplot results from the experiment demonstrated the suitability of the 3D printing facilities in terms of their proximity. Furthermore, manually adjustable gradient bars increased the effectiveness of the AI application by decision-makers subjectively adjusting the derived weights. Furthermore, only the proposed methodology fulfilled most requirements for an effective XAI tool in this AI application.

    Abstract Regional inequality significantly influences sustainable development and human well-being. In China, there exists pronounced regional disparities in economic and digital advancements; however, scant research delves into the interplay between them. By analyzing the economic development and digitalization gaps at regional and city levels in China, extending the original Cobb-Douglas production function, this study aims to evaluate the impact of digitalization on China’s regional inequality using seemingly unrelated regression. The results indicate a greater emphasis on digital inequality compared to economic disparity, with variable coefficients of 0.59 for GDP per capita and 0.92 for the digitalization index over the past four years. However, GDP per capita demonstrates higher spatial concentration than digitalization. Notably, both disparities have shown a gradual reduction in recent years. The southeastern region of the Hu Huanyong Line exhibits superior levels and rates of economic and digital advancement in contrast to the northwestern region. While digitalization propels economic growth, it yields a nuanced impact on achieving balanced regional development, encompassing both positive and negative facets. Our study highlights that the marginal utility of advancing digitalization is more pronounced in less developed regions, but only if the government invests in the digital infrastructure and education in these areas. This study’s methodology can be utilized for subsequent research, and our findings hold the potential to the government’s regional investment and policy-making.

    Abstract Geometry optimization is a crucial step in computational chemistry, and the efficiency of optimization algorithms plays a pivotal role in reducing computational costs. In this study, we introduce a novel reinforcement-learning-based optimizer that surpasses traditional methods in terms of efficiency. What sets our model apart is its ability to incorporate chemical information into the optimization process. By exploring different state representations that integrate gradients, displacements, primitive type labels, and additional chemical information from the SchNet model, our reinforcement learning optimizer achieves exceptional results. It demonstrates an average reduction of about 50% or more in optimization steps compared to the conventional optimization algorithms that we examined when dealing with challenging initial geometries. Moreover, the reinforcement learning optimizer exhibits promising transferability across various levels of theory, emphasizing its versatility and potential for enhancing molecular geometry optimization. This research highlights the significance of leveraging reinforcement learning algorithms to harness chemical knowledge, paving the way for future advancements in computational chemistry.
