Satellite navigation has all-weather, all-time, and low-cost advantages and has become the most widely used means of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) service since its inception. However, to avoid excessive reliance on the single means of satellite navigation at the application level, the concept of satellite-independent navigation technology has been proposed and received attention. How to accurately understand the relationship between satellite and satellite-independent navigation technologies has become a realistic and urgent issue. The technological characteristics and system positioning of satellite navigation are summarized in this study. The performances, costs, and application scenarios of typical satellite independent navigation technologies such as inertial navigation, matching navigation, and radio navigation (except for satellite navigation) are comparatively analyzed from a PNT system perspective. The relationship between satellite and satellite-independent navigation technologies is comprehensively analyzed. The overall positioning of satellite navigation as the most common demand satisfied and the core and cornerstone of the PNT system is further clarified. Additionally, the fusion efficiency is quantitatively analyzed. The scientific development of China’s PNT system requires the innovative development of satellite-independent navigation technologies, and the deep integration of satellite and satellite-independent navigation technologies should be promoted. Moreover, the construction of low-orbit navigation systems should be accelerated to improve satellite navigation performance and maximizing system contribution.

Offshore carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is an engineering solution and technical system developed by coastal countries or regions to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Compared with onshore CCUS, offshore CCUS has multiple significant advantages, such as higher storage potential and safer storage environment. Offshore CCUS comprises capturing CO2 from large coastal or offshore carbon emission sources, compressing and transporting it to offshore storage platforms, and injecting it into sub-seabed geological reservoirs, to achieve permanent isolation from the atmosphere or use it to produce valuable products. This study reviews the development demand and industry status quo of offshore CCUS in China and worldwide and analyzes the technical and social values of offshore CCUS development. The development routes and trends of representative offshore CCUS technologies are summarized, including CO2 plant capture, CO2 pipeline transportation, CO2 storage in the deep saline aquifer and for petroleum displacement, CO2 chemical utilization, and several other technical frameworks. Focusing on the common problems faced by different technology systems, we propose the following suggestions for the future development of China’s offshore CCUS: strengthening the land-sea overall planning and layout, cultivating high-level research teams, and enhancing fundamental research, key technology research and development, cost control, scale expansion, and policy incentives at all stages of development.

In this work, we propose and realize a smart metasurface for programming electromagnetic (EM) manipulations based on human speech recognition. The smart metasurface platform is composed of a digital coding metasurface, a speech-recognition module, a single-chip computer, and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit, and can control EM waves according to pre-stored voice commands in a smart way. The constructed digital metasurface contains 6 × 6 super unit cells, each of which consists of 4 × 4 active elements with embedded varactor diodes. Together with the DAC and single-chip computer, the speech-recognition module can recognize voice commands and generate corresponding voltage sequences to control the metasurface. In addition, a genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted in the design of the metasurface for efficiently optimizing the phase distributions. To verify the performance of the smart metasurface platform, three typical functions are demonstrated: radar cross-section reduction, vortex beam generation, and beam splitting. The proposed strategy may offer a new avenue for controlling EM waves and establishing a link between EM and acoustic communications.

A complete electricity market plays a decisive role in the allocation of electricity resources and is key to ensuring active supply-demand interactions between market players and promoting the consumption of renewable energies. Currently, a targeted,comprehensive analysis on factors that affect renewable energy consumption is urgently required. Focusing on trading mechanisms that can promote renewable energy consumption at a full time scale, this study summarizes the structures and mechanisms of typical electricity markets abroad and sorts out the key factors that can promote renewable energy consumption. Based on this, the study explores the current structures and mechanisms of China’s electricity market and examines the challenges faced during the electricitymarket construction. Moreover, the research progress of China’s electricity market for high-proportion renewable energy consumption is reviewed from the aspects of market mechanism, trading mode, and new consumption pattern. Furthermore, we propose that key measures should be taken in terms of multiple-market collaborative cooperation, linking of medium- and long-term spot trading,ancillary services market construction, and establishment of a demand-side response mechanism.

An Industrial Internet platform is acknowledged to be a requisite promoter for smart manufacturing, enabling physical manufacturing resources to be virtualized and permitting resources to collaborate in the form of services. As a central function of the platform, manufacturing service collaboration optimization is dedicated to establishing high-quality service collaboration solutions for manufacturing tasks. Such optimization is inseparable from the functional and amount requirements of a task, which must be satisfied when orchestrating services. However, existing manufacturing service collaboration optimization methods mainly focus on horizontal collaboration among services for functional demands and rarely consider vertical collaboration to cover the needed amounts. To address this gap, this paper proposes a dual-dimensional service collaboration methodology that combines functional and amount collaboration. First, a multi-granularity manufacturing service modeling method is presented to describe services. On this basis, a dual-dimensional manufacturing service collaboration optimization (DMSCO) model is formulated. In the vertical dimension, multiple functionally equivalent services form a service cluster to fulfill a subtask; in the horizontal dimension, complementary service clusters collaborate for the entire task. Service selection and amount distribution to the selected services are critical issues in the model. To solve the problem, a multi-objective memetic algorithm with multiple local search operators is tailored. The algorithm embeds a competition mechanism to dynamically adjust the selection probabilities of the local search operators. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the algorithm in terms of convergence, solution quality, and comprehensive metrics, in comparison with commonly used algorithms.

Plant pathogens continuously impair agricultural yields and food security. Therefore, the dynamic characterization of early pathogen progression is crucial for disease monitoring and presymptomatic diagnosis. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has great potential for tracking the dynamics of initial infected sites for presymptomatic diagnosis; however, no related studies have extracted fingerprint spectral signatures (FSSs) that can capture diseased lesions on leaves during the early infection stage in vivo or investigated the detection mechanism of HSI relating to the host biochemical responses. The FSSs denote unique and representative spectral signatures that characterize a specific plant disease. In this study, the FSSs of spot blotch on barley leaves inoculated with Bipolaris sorokiniana were discovered to characterize symptom development for presymptomatic diagnosis based on time-series HSI data analysis. The early spectral and biochemical responses of barley leaves to spot blotch progression were also investigated. The fullspectrum FSSs were physically interpretable and could capture the unique characteristics of chlorotic and necrotic tissues along with lesion progression, enabling the in situ visualization of the spatiotemporal dynamics of early plant–pathogen interactions at the pixel level. Presymptomatic diagnosis of spot blotch was achieved 24 h after inoculation—12 h earlier than the traditional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay or biochemical measurements. To uncover the mechanism of HSI presymptomatic diagnosis, quantitative relationships between the mean spectral responses of leaves and their biochemical indicators (chlorophylls, carotenoids, malondialdehyde (MDA), ascorbic acid (AsA), and reduced glutathione (GSH)) were developed, achieving determination coefficient of prediction set (Rp2) > 0.84 for regression models. The overall results demonstrated that, based on the association between HSI and in vivo planttrait alterations, the extracted FSSs successfully tracked the spatiotemporal dynamics of bipolaris spot blotch progression for presymptomatic diagnosis. Tests of this methodology on other plant diseases demonstrated its remarkable generalization potential for the early control of plant diseases.

Composite materials are widely used in many fields due to their excellent properties. Quality defects in composite materials can lead to lower quality components, creating potential risk of accidents. Experimental and simulation methods are commonly used to predict the quality of composite materials. However, it is difficult to predict the quality of composite materials accurately due to the uncertain curing environment and incomplete feature space. To address this problem, a digital twin (DT) visual model of a composite material is first constructed. Then, a static autoclave DT virtual model is coupled with a variable composite material DT virtual model to construct a model of the curing process. Features are added to the proposed model by generating simulated data to enhance the quality prediction. An extreme learning machine (ELM) for quality prediction is trained with the generated data. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through result analysis.

Lifestyle modification is an effective measure for diabetes prevention in people with prediabetes, but its associations with the long-term risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and mortality remain largely uncertain. We aimed to investigate the associations of combined healthy lifestyle factors with these health outcomes among participants with prediabetes. The study included 121 254 people with prediabetes from four prospective cohorts: the Dongfeng-Tongji (DFTJ) cohort and Kailuan study, both from China; the UK Biobank; and the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; for mortality analysis only). We documented a total of 18 333 incident diabetes, 10 829 incident CVD, 6926 incident cancer, and 9877 deaths during follow-up. Combined healthy lifestyle scores (scored from 0 to 5) were constructed based on never smoking or quitting smoking for ≥ 10 years, low-to-moderate alcohol drinking, optimal physical activity, healthy diet, and optimal waist circumference. First, Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to quantify the associations of combined lifestyle score with health outcomes in each cohort; then, multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were pooled via a random-effects model of meta-analysis. Compared with participants with the least healthy lifestyle (a score of 0–1), participants with the healthiest lifestyle (a score of 4–5) had significantly reduced risks of all outcomes. The HRs (95% confidence interval (CI)) were 0.57 (0.48–0.69) for diabetes, 0.67 (0.62– 0.73) for CVD, 0.80 (0.73–0.88) for cancer, and 0.54 (0.42–0.70) for mortality. Significant associations were consistently found across subgroups of baseline demographic characteristics and metabolic health status. In conclusion, our pooled analyses of four cohorts from three countries reveal that greater adherence to a healthy lifestyle is associated with considerably lower risks of diabetes and its major complications among adults with prediabetes. These findings provide informative and compelling evidence for establishing clinical guidelines and public health policies.
