Four kinds of polymer modifier widely used in China are selected to modify the performance of asphalt mixture: styrene butadiene styrene (China), PR PLAST.S (France), Domix (Germany), and Rad Spunrie (China). The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the influence of these polymer modifiers on...

Recently, deep learning based facial landmark detection has achieved great success. Despite this, we notice that the semantic ambiguity greatly degrades the detection performance. Specifically, the semantic ambiguity means that some landmarks (e.g. those evenly distributed along the face contour) do...

The Canadian Arctic Archipelago consists of important international trade routes, and local surface air temperatures (SAT) greatly control sea ice melting in situ during boreal summer (June-July-August-September). However, the drivers of the Arctic Archipelago summer SAT variability have not yet bee...

Abstract Record‐breaking July‐mean precipitation hit North China in 2021, resulting in huge economic losses and human casualties. The prevailing easterlies over the southern flank of a remarkable anomalous anticyclone centered over the Kuril Islands transported sufficient water vapor into North Chin...

ABSTRACT Climate change affects mean and extreme temperature and precipitation, increasing the risk of related disasters. Assessing the performance of current models in simulating these aspects is therefore crucial to future projection and policymaking. Based on a large ensemble ( LE ; 30 members) o...

Eurasian teleconnections in boreal summer significantly influence regional climates and extremes, yet their dynamic origins remain largely unclear. Here, we revealed two critical modes of tropical convection that drive these Eurasian teleconnections in boreal summer. The first mode is characterized ...

Abstract This study identified the distinct predictors of the western North Pacific anomalous anticyclone (WNPAC) in June, July, and August and revealed their independent influencing mechanisms on the formation of the summer WNPAC in each corresponding month. For the June WNPAC (AC_Jun), the North A...

The design of low-cost, highly active, and stable electrocatalysts is pivotal for advancing water electrolysis technologies. In this study, carbonyl iron powder (CIP) was anchored within the pores of nickel foam (NF) by electroplating nickel, creating nickel iron foam-like (NFF-L) substrates. Subseq...

Abstract Reliable projections of monsoon mean and extreme precipitation are vital to water resource management, disaster mitigation as well as policy makings. Since the climate models have better capability in projecting mean precipitation, the relationship between mean and extreme precipitation is ...

Cyano tends to have better biological activity, but it is rarely reported in natural products, especially in the C20-diterpene alkaloids. Herein, three unprecedented C20-diterpenoid alkaloids, brunonianines A-C (1-3), possessing rare cyano functional group as well as an atisine backbone constructed ...

Abstract Climatic changes worsen concurrent extreme climate events. In July and August of 2022 and 2020, respectively, unexpected concurrent extreme events occurred in mid-latitude Asia. The sudden and severe consequences highlight the importance of a thorough understanding of the drivers of such ex...

Low‐cost and efficient large‐scale triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is considered as the new scheme for distributed mechanical conversion or renewable energy utilization. An extremely popular all‐inorganic lead‐free double perovskite Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 (CABB) has emerged as extraordinary potential mate...

Abstract In the summer of 2022, the Yangtze River basin (YRB) experienced the most intense and prolonged extreme high-temperature event since 1961, featured by three successive episodes of 18–29 June (P1), 6–17 July (P2), and 3–26 August (P3). An assessment of two operational subseasonal-to-seasonal...
