Academic Background As the global energy structure transitions towards renewable energy, the importance of decentralized energy storage is becoming increasingly prominent. Unlike traditional centralized energy storage systems, decentralized energy storage localizes the energy production and storage processes, reducing the risk of large-scale system...
Blasting operations in open-cast mines are crucial for mineral extraction but also come with significant environmental and structural risks. The peak particle velocity (PPV) generated during blasting is a key metric for assessing the impact of blasting vibrations on surrounding structures and the environment. Accurate PPV prediction is essential fo...
With the increasing severity of global environmental issues, companies are placing greater emphasis on green and sustainable development in supply chain management. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has become a crucial means for enterprises to enhance competitiveness and achieve sustainable development. However, Green Supplier Selection (GSS) i...
Academic Background As global climate change intensifies and air pollution becomes increasingly severe, reducing carbon emissions and pollutant emissions in the transportation sector has become a focus for governments and research institutions worldwide. Heavy-duty trucks (Class 8), as the primary means of freight transport in the United States, co...
Wind erosion and the resulting dust issues have profound impacts on the environment and human society. Since the 1990s, despite significant changes in climate and socioeconomic conditions, the United States has not conducted a comprehensive assessment of the economic costs of wind erosion. In recent years, with global warming, increasing droughts, ...
As global attention to energy efficiency and environmental sustainability continues to grow, light-emitting diode (LED) technology has become a mainstream choice in the lighting and display sectors. However, despite significant advancements in the energy efficiency and performance of traditional LEDs, their reliance on rare materials during manufac...
Background Introduction Globally, unsustainable agricultural practices have led to ecosystem degradation, particularly the destruction of grassland ecosystems due to overgrazing. Mongolia, as the world’s second-largest producer of cashmere, has significant economic, cultural, and ecological impacts from its nomadic herding practices. However, with ...
Academic Background The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, harboring a high number of endemic species and providing critical ecosystem services. However, a long history of deforestation has reduced its original forest cover to just 24%. Despite existing legal protections, the rate of forest loss remains alarming....
Academic Background As global population ageing intensifies, the impact of air pollution on public health becomes increasingly significant. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution is recognized as a major factor contributing to health issues such as cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory illnesses, and cognitive impairments. Particularly in...
Academic Background With the global transition to a low-carbon society, the demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as an important energy storage technology is rapidly increasing. However, the limited availability of lithium resources and the disposal of spent batteries have become pressing issues. Traditional lithium recycling methods, such as py...
