    In order to mitigate global warming with growing demands on fossil fuels, it is essential to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from the energy sector. Hydrate-based CO<sub>2</sub> capture from fuel gas mixture (40% CO<sub>2</sub>/60% H<sub>2</sub>) is one of the options to reduce the carbon footprint of power plants. This work employed cyclopentane (CP) as a promoter and investigated the kinetic performance of CP/CO<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub> hydrate formation with two different contact modes using an unstirred tank reactor (UTR) and a fixed bed reactor (FBR) at 281.2 K and 6.0 MPa. Repeat cycles were conducted to examine the recyclability of reactants. Compared with UTR, FBR showed a higher hydrate formation rate and improved the gas uptake by enhancing the dissolution phase. A distinctive two-stage hydrate growth was observed in UTR. Morphology observations were coupled with kinetic data to present the characteristic growth behavior of CP/CO<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub> hydrate. Furthermore, the scalability of the hydrate formation process was examined. A FBR approach employing a tray column design (three trays) was developed to scale up the bed size without sacrificing the overall kinetics. Lastly, the effect of vacuum on gas recovery from hydrate dissociation was studied, and a CO<sub>2</sub> composition enrichment as high as 97.9% was achieved. Overall, the high gas uptake and high CO<sub>2</sub> content enriched show the advantages of employing FBR for CP/CO<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub> hydrate formation. However, one major challenge to be addressed is to avoid the loss of CP between repeat cycles caused by its volatile nature

    Table1_Service scheduling strategy for microservice and heterogeneous multi-cores-based edge computing apparatus in smart girds with high renewable energy penetration.DOCX

    The microservice-based smart grid service (SGS) organization and the heterogeneous multi-cores-based computing resource supply are the development direction of edge computing in smart grid with high penetration of renewable energy sources and high market-oriented. However, their application also challenges the service schedule for edge computing apparatus (ECA), the physical carrier of edge computing. In the traditional scheduling strategy of SGS, an SGS usually corresponds to an independent application or component, and the heterogeneous multi-core computing environment is also not considered, making it difficult to cope with the above challenges. In this paper, we propose an SGS scheduling strategy for the ECA. Specifically, we first present an SGS scheduling framework of ECA and give the essential element of meeting SGS scheduling. Then, considering the deadline and importance attributes of the SGS, a microservice scheduling prioritizing module is proposed. On this basis, the inset-based method is used to allocate the microservice task to the heterogeneous multi-cores to utilize computing resources and reduce the service response time efficiently. Furthermore, we design the scheduling unit dividing module to balance the delay requirement between the service with early arrival time and the service with high importance in high concurrency scenarios. An emergency mechanism (EM) is also presented for the timely completion of urgent SGSs. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed service scheduling strategy is verified in a typical SGS scenario in the smart distribution transformer area.</p

    Highly Efficient and Reversible SO<sub>2</sub> Capture by Surfactant-Derived Dual Functionalized Ionic Liquids with Metal Chelate Cations

    A series of dual functionalized ionic liquids with metal chelate cations from surfactant and alkali metal salt were designed, prepared, and used for SO<sub>2</sub> capture. The effect of metal ions, coordination number, anionic structures, temperature, and pressure on SO<sub>2</sub> absorption was investigated. The interaction of these functionalized ionic liquids with SO<sub>2</sub> was explained by spectroscopic investigation. The results showed that these metal-containing ionic liquids exhibited high absorption capacity through a combination of physical and chemical interaction of SO<sub>2</sub> with basic anions and ether-containing cations as well as excellent reversibility (21 recycles). Considering the easy preparation, low cost, and excellent performance, these dual functionalized metal-containing ionic liquids provide significant improvements over traditional ionic liquids, indicating the promise for industrial application in SO<sub>2</sub> capture

    Systematic Analysis of Missing Proteins Provides Clues to Help Define All of the Protein-Coding Genes on Human Chromosome 1

    Our first proteomic exploration of human chromosome 1 began in 2012 (CCPD 1.0), and the genome-wide characterization of the human proteome through public resources revealed that 32–39% of proteins on chromosome 1 remain unidentified. To characterize all of the missing proteins, we applied an OMICS-integrated analysis of three human liver cell lines (Hep3B, MHCC97H, and HCCLM3) using mRNA and ribosome nascent-chain complex-bound mRNA deep sequencing and proteome profiling, contributing mass spectrometric evidence of 60 additional chromosome 1 gene products. Integration of the annotation information from public databases revealed that 84.6% of genes on chromosome 1 had high-confidence protein evidence. Hierarchical analysis demonstrated that the remaining 320 missing genes were either experimentally or biologically explainable; 128 genes were found to be tissue-specific or rarely expressed in some tissues, whereas 91 proteins were uncharacterized mainly due to database annotation diversity, 89 were genes with low mRNA abundance or unsuitable protein properties, and 12 genes were identifiable theoretically because of a high abundance of mRNAs/RNC-mRNAs and the existence of proteotypic peptides. The relatively large contribution made by the identification of enriched transcription factors suggested specific enrichment of low-abundance protein classes, and SRM/MRM could capture high-priority missing proteins. Detailed analyses of the differentially expressed genes indicated that several gene families located on chromosome 1 may play critical roles in mediating hepatocellular carcinoma invasion and metastasis. All mass spectrometry proteomics data corresponding to our study were deposited in the ProteomeXchange under the identifiers PXD000529, PXD000533, and PXD000535
