In this paper, the problem of rainfall anomaly in city D is studied. The results show that the rainfall anomaly of city D is related to solar activity, 500hPa height field in winter and SST in the Central South Pacific from June to August of the previous year. It is found that there is almost no rainfall during the high solar activity years, while there is frequent rainfall near the low solar activity years. Finally, according to the homomorphic encryption mechanism, this paper studies the protection of data confidentiality in computer network security and the multistorage technology of big data. In this research scheme, by adding a certain number of virtual objects to two different computing information dummies, we successfully protect the data such as the number of items owned by the data owner, the content of the items owned, and the item objects called by the user. In addition, this paper uses bilinear mapping and RS coding technology to create related protocols to solve some problems, such as infinite verification of big data integrity, error data recovery, and protection of data owner’s computing resources. Through the design of solutions to the above problems, this paper successfully completed the protection of big data resources and network security based on cloud computing environment.

Large-scale is a trend in person re-identification (re-id). It is important that real-time search be performed in a large gallery. While previous methods mostly focus on discriminative learning, this ...paper makes the attempt in integrating deep learning and hashing into one framework to evaluate the efficiency and accuracy for large-scale person re-id. We integrate spatial information for discriminative visual representation by partitioning the pedestrian image into horizontal parts. Specifically, Part-based Deep Hashing (PDH) is proposed, in which batches of triplet samples are employed as the input of the deep hashing architecture. Each triplet sample contains two pedestrian images (or parts) with the same identity and one pedestrian image (or part) of the different identity. A triplet loss function is employed with a constraint that the Hamming distance of pedestrian images (or parts) with the same identity is smaller than ones with the different identity. In the experiment, we show that the proposed PDH method yields very competitive re-id accuracy on the large-scale Market-1501 and Market-1501+500K datasets.
Converting CO2 and H2O into carbon‐based fuel by IR light is a tough task. Herein, compared with other single‐component photocatalysts, the most efficient IR‐light‐driven CO2 reduction is achieved by ...an element‐doped ultrathin metallic photocatalyst‐Ni‐doped CoS2 nanosheets (Ni‐CoS2). The evolution rate of CH4 over Ni‐CoS2 is up to 101.8 μmol g−1 h−1. The metallic and ultrathin nature endow Ni‐CoS2 with excellent IR light absorption ability. The PL spectra and Arrhenius plots indicate that Ni atoms could facilitate the separation of photogenerated carriers and the decrease of the activation energy. Moreover, in situ FTIR, DFT calculations, and CH4‐TPD reveal that the doped Ni atoms in CoS2 could effectively depress the formation energy of the *COOH, *CHO and desorption energy of CH4. This work manifests that element doping in atomic level is a powerful way to control the reaction intermediates, providing possibilities to realize high‐efficiency IR‐light‐driven CO2 reduction.

This study refined the hardness removal (together with chemical oxygen demand (COD) and turbidity) from the produced water by a pilot-scale electrocoagulation (EC) system to mitigate the scaling and ...fouling of Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes. In preliminary studies, effects of initial pH, current density and electrolysis time on pollutant removal were investigated. Response surface method (RSM) was employed further to evaluate individual/interactive influences of parameters on pollutant recovery. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed a satisfactory agreement of the predicted and experimental data. The refined operating conditions were pH of 7.36, current density of 5.90mA/cm2, and reaction time of 30.94min to maximize the hardness removal at 85.81%, COD at 66.64%, and turbidity at 93.80%. The equivalent coagulant dose was 23.76mg/L (as Fe3+). The permeate flux was around 22L/(m2﹒h) and the water recovery rate reached 87.83%. The operating refinement of EC processes by RSM was a promising alternative for the pretreatment of produced water prior to RO membranes. The product water from the batch EC–RO system was suitable for reinjection or beneficial reuse.
•EC–RO was combined as the pretreatment and advanced treatment of produced water.•Hardness/COD/turbidity was mostly removed by EC to reduce membrane scaling/fouling.•EC effectively improved the permeate flux and the product water quality of RO.•EC process was refined with high pollutant removal using response surface method.•Single/combined effects of operating variables on pollutant removals were studied.

Two‐dimensional (2D) transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have drawn much attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Using TMDs as templates for the generation of 2D ...sandwich‐like materials with remarkable properties still remains a great challenge due to their poor solvent processability. Herein, MoS2‐coupled sandwich‐like conjugated microporous polymers (M‐CMPs) with high specific surface area were successfully developed by using functionalized MoS2 nanosheets as template. As‐prepared M‐CMPs were further used as precursors for preparation of MoS2‐embedded nitrogen‐doped porous carbon nanosheets, which were revealed as novel electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction with mainly four‐electron transfer mechanism and ultralow half‐wave potential in comparison with commercial Pt/C catalyst. Our strategy to core–shelled sandwich‐like hybrids paves a way for a new class of 2D hybrids for energy conversion and storage.
Hierarchically porous MoS2/N‐doped carbon hybrids were fabricated by pyrolysis of MoS2‐templated microporous polymer sandwiches. The hybrids are characterized by high specific surface areas and aspect ratios and show promising oxygen reduction reaction and supercapacitor performances.

The significance of neuronal discharge symmetry lies in its reflection of the stability and orderliness within the neuron's activity. This symmetry is correlated with various issues, including the ...biophysical properties within neurons, network structures, and synaptic transmission. Memristors are highly analogous to neuronal synapses due to their unique memory properties, allowing them to emulate biological neural synapses. In this work, a memristor is employed into the Hindmarsh‐Rose (HR) neuron as a synapse for the construction of a memristive HR neuron. Accompanied with the introducing of the absolute value and signum function, the derived neurons exhibit complex coexisting symmetric firing patterns. The phenomenon of symmetric firing can effectively simulate the depolarization and hyperpolarization processes of neurons, providing a new approach to study the diversity of the brain.

•Catalytic activity of co-catalysts is found to be closely related to the polarity.•High selectivity of products in the cyclohexane oxidation is achieved.•We report a new approach for preparing ...glutaric acid.
Several polar molecules, such as alcohols, ketones, esters and acids, were used as co-catalysts for the cyclohexane oxidation catalyzed by manganese porphyrins, and the catalytic activity was found to be closely related to polarity of co-catalysts. The results indicated that the total selectivity of products was as high as 96.3% and glutaric acid selectivity was up to 50.9%. Thus, the proposed method provides a new approach for preparing glutaric acid.

Loss of Klotho, an anti-aging protein, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney diseases. As Klotho is a large transmembrane protein, it is challenging to harness it as a ...therapeutic remedy. Here we report the discovery of a Klotho-derived peptide 1 (KP1) protecting kidneys by targeting TGF-β signaling. By screening a series of peptides derived from human Klotho protein, we identified KP1 that repressed fibroblast activation by binding to TGF-β receptor 2 (TβR2) and disrupting the TGF-β/TβR2 engagement. As such, KP1 blocked TGF-β-induced activation of Smad2/3 and mitogen-activated protein kinases. In mouse models of renal fibrosis, intravenous injection of KP1 resulted in its preferential accumulation in injured kidneys. KP1 preserved kidney function, repressed TGF-β signaling, ameliorated renal fibrosis and restored endogenous Klotho expression. Together, our findings suggest that KP1 recapitulates the anti-fibrotic action of Klotho and offers a potential remedy in the fight against fibrotic kidney diseases.
Globally, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. As the most common microvascular complication of diabetes, DKD is a thorny, clinical problem in terms of its ...diagnosis and management. Intensive glucose control in DKD could slow down but not significantly halt disease progression. Revisiting the tremendous advances that have occurred in the field would enhance recognition of DKD pathogenesis as well as improve our understanding of translational science in DKD in this new era.
In this review, we summarize advances in the understanding of the local microenvironmental changes in diabetic kidneys and discuss the involvement of genetic and epigenetic factors in the pathogenesis of DKD. We also review DKD prevalence changes and analyze the challenges in optimizing the diagnostic approaches and management strategies for DKD in the clinic. As we enter the era of ‘big data’, we also explore the possibility of linking systems biology with translational medicine in DKD in the current healthcare system.
Newer understanding of the structural changes of diabetic kidneys and mechanisms of DKD pathogenesis, as well as emergent research technologies will shed light on new methods of dealing with the existing clinical challenges of DKD.
