    This study addresses the scenario of bamboo waste pyrolysis and the resource utilization of its pyrolysis products, employing a methodology grounded in life cycle assessment and sensitivity analysis. It establishes a comprehensive life cycle carbon emission inventory and calculation approach. The primary sources of carbon emissions and reductions within the pyrolysis system are identified, and the sensitivity of carbon reduction capacity to various parameters is assessed. Results indicate that the carbon emissions from pyrolyzing 1 ton of bamboo waste amount to 838.684 kg, resulting in an annual reduction of 38.3 million t of carbon emissions and an annual electricity generation of 2.1×10¹⁰ kW·h in China. The predominant contributors to carbon emissions in the system are the combustion for power generation of biooil and syngas (34.8%), while carbon reduction is primarily driven by the application of bamboo charcoal to soil (34.0%). The system's carbon reduction capacity exhibits high sensitivity to bamboo waste proportion, annual harvest volume, and pyrolysis product yield, with sensitivity coefficients of 1.297,1.000, and 0.702. Notably, the soil carbon sequestration effect resulting from bamboo charcoal application presents significant carbon reduction potential, estimated at 13 million t annually for an 8.9% bamboo charcoal application rate. This study concludes that bamboo waste pyrolysis holds substantial carbon reduction potential, providing a novel avenue for China to leverage bamboo waste for renewable energy production and effectively mitigate climate change towards achieving "dualcarbon goals".

    Lignin is one of the main components of biomass and can be converted into renewable fuels and chemicals by catalytic hydrodeoxygenation. Extensive fundamental research has been conducted based on lignin model compounds and heterogeneous catalytic systems. However, the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin model compounds with high selectivity remains a significant challenge due to their intricate molecular structures, which are featured with hydroxyl and methoxyl groups connected to the phenyl ring, leading to diverse reaction pathways. In this paper, the factors affecting the selectivity of the product were reviewed comprehensively. First, the reaction mechanisms and pathways involved in the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin model compounds were stated. Next, the factors influencing the selectivity of the products were summarized from two aspects. One aspect is focused on the hydrodeoxygenation catalysts, including catalyst components, promoters, supports, and preparation methods; the other is associated with the reaction conditions, including reaction temperature, hydrogen pressure, time, and solvents.

The study explored the changes in volatile fatty acid content, lignocellulose content, and methane production in different treatments after soaking pretreatment. The results indicated that the treatment of soaking with nanobubble water and the treatment of combing soaking of nanobubble water with biogas slurry both enhanced the pretreatment effectiveness of the rice straw. The treatment of combing soaking of nanobubble water with biogas slurry showed the optimal pretreatment performance, with the volatile fatty acid content reaching 6 470 mg/L. The cellulose degradation rate and hemicellulose degradation rate reached at 12.1% and 23.7% , respectively, and the maximum cumulative methane yield increased by 19.5%.

The thermodynamic model of the coupled system is established, and the influence of key parameters on system performance is analyzed. The results show that the net output power of subsystems ORC1 and ORC2 is 1 296 kW and 6 695.83 kW under typical operating conditions; the round trip efficiency of the new system can reach 117.63%; the exergy efficiency is 38.97%; and the energy efficiency is 28.88%, which are 12.58%, 2.35%, and 1.21% higher than those of the reference system, respectively. In addition, the system provides domestic hot water at a temperature of 364.15 K to the users, achieving cogeneration efficacy. Sensitivity analysis of key parameters shows that when the liquefaction pressure (compressor outlet pressure) increases from 15 MPa to 18 MPa and the liquefaction temperature (throttle inlet air temperature) rises from 93.15 K to 113.15 K, the air liquefaction rate, roundtrip efficiency, and exergy efficiency decrease with the increase of liquefaction pressure, and the increase of liquefaction pressure and temperature is not conducive to the system performance; however, when the exhaust pressure increases from 5.3 MPa to 7.7 MPa, the roundtrip efficiency and the exergy efficiency increases. The research results can provide some theoretical support for the liquidaircoupled solar system.

    In response to the challenge posed by the limited accuracy of traditional fault diagnosis methods in wind turbine gearbox applications due to the complex and variable operational conditions and the presence of significant noise, the MTFSwin Transformer wind turbine gearbox fault diagnosis model is proposed. Initially, the onedimensional vibration time series signal is transformed into a twodimensional feature map with correlated temporal information using the Markov Transition Field (MTF) graph encoding method. Subsequently, this feature map is employed as the input for the Swin Transformer model, which utilizes a selfattention mechanism for automatic feature extraction. This process culminates in the classification of various fault types. The results demonstrate a fault diagnosis accuracy of 99.48%, affirming the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
