Spatial and Temporal Variation of Real Integrated Land Productivity of Yunnan Province

Taking Yunnan Province as an example, this paper calculated the real integrated land productivity (RILP) of 16 prefectures (cities) in Yunnan Province for the past 11 years (2009-2019), and analyzed its spatial distribution pattern. The research results show that the RILP of the whole Yunnan Province and all prefectures (cities) showed a slow upward trend. Among them, the province’s RILP showed the highest increase in 2019 compared with the previous year; the RILP of all prefectures (cities) in Yunnan Province has significant spatial autocorrelation, showing obvious positive spatial agglomeration characteristics. Based on this, this paper proposes to improve the overall RILP in various regions according to local conditions and formulate countermeasures for coordinated development of various prefectures (cities)

An Emergency Driving Intervention System Designed for Driver Disability Scenarios Based on Emergency Risk Field

Driver disability has become an increasing factor leading to traffic accidents, especially for commercial vehicle drivers who endure high mental and physical pressure because of long periods of work. Once driver disability occurs, e.g., heart disease or heat stroke, the loss of driving control may lead to serious traffic incidents and public damage. This paper proposes a novel driving intervention system for autonomous danger avoidance under driver disability conditions, including a quantitative risk assessment module named the Emergency Safety Field (ESF) and a motion-planning module. The ESF considers three factors affecting hedging behavior: road boundaries, obstacles, and target position. In the field-based framework, each factor is modeled as an individual risk source generating repulsive or attractive force fields. Individual risk distributions are regionally weighted and merged into one unified emergency safety field denoting the level of danger to the ego vehicle. With risk evaluation, a path–velocity-coupled motion planning module was designed to generate a safe and smooth trajectory to pull the vehicle over. The results of our experiments show that the proposed algorithms have obvious advantages in success rate, efficiency, stability, and safety compared with the traditional method. Validation on multiple simulation and real-world platforms proves the feasibility and adaptivity of the module in traffic scenarios

Preparation and Photocatalytic Properties of a Bagasse Cellulose-Supported Nano-TiO2 Photocatalytic-Coupled Microbial Carrier

Intimate coupling of photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) has shown promise in removing unwanted organic compounds from water. In this study, bagasse cellulose titanium dioxide composite carrier (SBC-TiO2) was prepared by low-temperature foaming methods. The optimum preparation conditions, material characterization and photocatalytic performance of the composite carrier were then explored. By conducting a single factor test, we found that bagasse cellulose with a mass fraction of 4%, a polyvinyl alcohol solution (PVA) with a mass fraction of 5% and 20 g of a pore-forming agent were optimum conditions for the composite carrier. Under these conditions, good wet density, porosity, water absorption and retention could be realized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the composite carrier exhibited good biologic adhesion. X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results confirmed the successful incorporation of nano-TiO2 dioxide into the composite carrier. When the mass concentration of methylene blue (MB) was 10 mg L−1 at 200 mL, 2 g of the composite carrier was added and the initial pH value of the reaction was maintained at 6, the catalytic effect was best under these conditions and the degradation rate reached 78.91% after 6 h. The method of preparing the composite carrier can aid in the degradation of hard-to-degrade organic compounds via ICPB. These results provide a solid platform for technical research and development in the field of wastewater treatment
