Effective carbon dioxide (CO2) capture requires solid, porous sorbents with chemically and thermally stable frameworks. Herein, we report two new carbon-carbon bonded porous networks that were synthesized through metal-free Knoevenagel nitrile-aldol condensation, namely the covalent organic polymer, COP-156 and 157. COP-156, due to high specific surface area (650 m2/g) and easily interchangeabl...

Community structure is vital to discover the important structures and potential property of complex networks. In recent years, the increasing quality of local community detection approaches has become a hot spot in the study of complex network due to the advantages of linear time complexity and applicable for large-scale networks. However, there are many shortcomings in these methods such as in...

Plants respond to low carbon supply by massive reprogramming of the transcriptome and metabolome. We show here that the carbon starvation-induced NAC (for NO APICAL MERISTEM/ARABIDOPSIS TRANSCRIPTION ACTIVATION FACTOR/CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON) transcription factor Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Transcription Activation Factor1 (ATAF1) plays an important role in this physiological process. We id...

The atomic-scale nucleation mechanism of vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (CNFs) is investigated using classical molecular dynamics simulations with a developed parameterization. Carbon precipitation and graphene plane formation are simulated, taking into account the carbon concentration (CC) in Ni carbide. The simulated results show that the carbon atoms formed sp(2) networks or sp chains in the ...

Infrastructure for heat provision in the built environment needs to change remarkably support lowering carbon emissions and achieving climate mitigation targets before 2050. We propose a computational approach finding mix of options per neighbourhood that minimises cumulative between 2030 2050, referred as committed emissions, while at same time adhering technological constraints both household...

Due to rising fossil fuel and electricity prices and the overall need to reduce carbon emissions, there is a growing interest in the utilisation of micro-generation amongst electricity consumers and governments alike. Electricity consumers are installing small scale generators on their premises, which are also being connected to existing low voltage (LV) electricity supply networks. High penetr...

To explore the method of creating a theoretical model of urban low-carbon economy evaluation, and analyze the development status and level of low carbon economy in cities in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River; Method To introduce the basic theory of low-carbon economy, the principle and the technical route for creating the evaluation system of urban low-carbon economy, develop 3 laye...

Low-carbon economy has become an inevitable choice for the world's development. How to deal with the advent of low-carbon economy has become the tourism industry's concerns. This article explains the meaning of low-carbon economy, the relationship between the tourism and climate change, the reason that carbon emissions increase in the T&T sector, and tourism development approaches in low-carbon...
