In this article, a generalized (3 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation (NLEE), which can be obtained by a multivariate polynomial, is investigated. Based on the Hirota bilinear method, the N-soliton solution and bilinear Bäcklund transformation (BBT) with explicit formulas are successfully constructed. By using BBT, two traveling wave solutions and a mixed solution of the generalized (3 + 1)-dimensional NLEE are obtained. Furthermore, the lump and the interaction solutions for the equation are constructed. Finally, the dynamic properties of the lump and the interaction solutions are described graphically.

Three-dimensional graphene (3DG) with macroporous structure has great potential in the field of electroanalysis owing to a large active area, excellent electron mobility and good mass transfer. However, simple and low-cost preparation of 3DG electrodes with high electrocatalytic ability is still a challenge. Here, a fast and convenient electrochemical polarization method is established to pretreat free-standing 3DG (p-3DG) to offer high electrocatalytic ability. 3DG with monolithic and macroporous structure prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is applied as the starting electrode. Electrochemical polarization is performed using electrochemical oxidation (anodization) at high potential (+6 V) followed with electrochemical reduction (cathodization) at low potential (−1 V), leading to exposure of edge of graphene and introduction of oxygen-containing groups. The as-prepared p-3DG displays increased hydrophilicity and improved electrocatalytic ability. As a proof of concept, p-3DG was used to selective electrochemical detection of two isomers of benzenediol, hydroquinone (p-BD) and catechol (o-BD). In comparison with initial 3DG, p-3DG exhibits increased reversibility of redox reaction, improved peak current and good potential resolution with high potential separation between p-BD and o-BD. Individual or selective determination of p-BD or o-BD in single substance solution or binary mixed solution is realized. Real analysis of pond water is also achieved.

BACKGROUND: Inhalable nanocomposite particles using O/W emulsions were studied. The effect of the composition of the dispersed phase on the nanoparticles in the nanocomposite particles was reported, however, the effect on the inhalation characteristics of nanocomposite particles has not been investigated. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to study the effects of lower alcohols in the dispersed phase of O/W emulsions on inhalable nanocomposite particles. METHODS: Nanocomposite particles were prepared using a spray dryer from O/W emulsion. A mixed solution of dichloromethane and lower alcohols in which rifampicin (RFP) and poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) were dissolved was used as a dispersed phase, and an aqueous solution in which arginine and leucine were dissolved was used as a continuous phase. RESULTS: We succeeded in preparing non-spherical nanocomposite particles with an average diameter of 9.01–10.91 μm. The results of the fine particle fraction (FPF) measurement showed that the higher the hydrophobicity of the lower alcohol mixed in the dispersed phase, the higher the FPF value. The FPF value of the nanocomposite particles was significantly increased by using ethanol and 1-propanol. CONCLUSIONS: The results were revealed that mixing 1-propanol with the dispersed phase increased the amount of RFP delivered to the lungs.

The densities and pH values in the system NaBO2–Na2SO4–H2O at 298.15 K and 323.15 K were investigated. Combining the equilibrium constants for different boron species, the distributions of six boron species in the mixed solution were calculated with total boron concentration and pH values. The molar fractions of the six boron species are mainly affected by the total boron concentration and temperature, but rarely affected by the concentration of SO42–. The dominant boron species in the mixed solution at the two temperatures is B(OH)4‒. The mole fraction of B(OH)3, B5O6(OH)4‒, and B3O3(OH)4‒ can be neglected. The polyborate ions are easier to form as the temperature increases. The results of distribution for boron species in this study and those with the Pitzer model can both be used to describe the distribution of boron species in the mixed solution.

Water is a rapidly shrinking commodity. As we continue to use water for industry, farming, and sustaining our own lives, we must realize its intrinsic value. In December of 2020, water was given a new value as a future on a commodities market. This paper aims to discuss the practical, ethical, and financial considerations of trading water in this manner. A thorough conceptual analysis of the literature and research from 2009 to 2020 related to commodities and their history was performed, and a more contemporary review of water policy and pricing. The goal is to develop a mixed solution that gives value to water without allowing it to be exploited to the detriment of the poor; water must be accessible and affordable if it is to be managed ethically. Approaching water as a high-value resource might create a market that makes it unobtainable for most of us; however, with a system that controls pricing, creates standards, and simultaneously works to increase the supply of water, we may be able to create a “market.” Our critique of the research and available solutions indicates rising water prices and mostly regressive policies. As a result, market controls need to be implemented to control pricing while ensuring water availability for all.

Abstract As an important raw material and petrochemical tool, petroleum not only brings convenience to mankind, but also brings huge socio-economic and cultural value to our social development, but at the same time it also causes a lot of serious damage to our ecological environment. The identification and measurement of petroleum pollutants has become the main tool to identify pollution sources, control their pollutants and protect their ecological environment. This paper explores the petroleum fluorescence spectrum identification method based on convolutional neural network. Based on extensive research on this method, a simple analysis and understanding of petroleum fluorescence spectrum identification technology and petroleum-related principles are carried out, and then summarized according to relevant data find out the main factors that affect fluorescence spectrum recognition, and prepare for the experiment. The feasibility of the method is verified through the petroleum fluorescence spectrum recognition experiment of the convolutional neural network. The experimental results show that the relative error of the fluorescence spectrum recognition under different concentrations of petroleum both are within the range of 9%. Through the analysis of the relative error, it can be seen that the relative error of resolution shows a downward trend with the increase of the concentration. According to the above data, it can be seen that when the convolutional neural network algorithm is used to identify the components of the petroleum mixed solution, the qualitative analysis can be completed well. When the components in the mixed solution are quantitatively analyzed, there is a certain relative error.

Amylose of Phragmites Australis captures heavy metals in a box consisting of sugar chains. However, its absorption rate is low in the period of the month scale. Therefore, the electrochemical driving force was used to promote the absorption rate in this research. Amylose was doped with TiO2 porous graphite electrode. The composted absorbent was characterized using XRD(X-ray diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electrode Microscopy), Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. The affinity and maximum absorption amount were calculated using the isotherm method. In this study, Pb2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and Cr6+ were chosen to demonstrate because these heavy metals are significant pollutants in Japan’s surface water. It was found that the maximum absorption was Cu2+ (56.82-mg/L) > Pb2+ (55.89-mg/L) > Cr6+ (53.97-mg/L) > Cd2+ (52.83.68-mg/L) at −0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl. This is approximately the same order as the hydration radius of heavy metals. In other words, the absorption amounts were determined by the size of heavy metal ions. Subsequently, the mixed heavy metal standard solution was tested; the maximum absorption amount was 21.46 ± 10.03 mg/L. It was inferred that the electrochemical driving force could be shown as the ion size effect in the mixed solution. Despite there being no support for this hypothesis at this time, this study succeeded in showing that the electrochemical driving force can improve the ability of the absorbent.
