Latest ArticlesObjective To investigate the agglomeration of particulate matter at the air-leaf interface and provide guidance for the prevention and control of particulate matter and greening planning. Methods In this study, the effects of temperature and wind speed on plant coagulation effect were studied by using a self-developed system of coagulation effect based on aerosol smoke box, and the coagulation effect of particulate matter in the leaves of 10 common green tree species in Shanghai was measured. Results The coagulation effect of plant leaves is affected by external conditions, which increases and then decreases with the increase of temperature and is positively correlated with wind speed; among different plants, the coagulation effect of coniferous species is greater than that of broad-leaved species, small-leaved species is greater than that of large-leaved species. Conclusion The results of the study can provide scientific basis for the key prevention and control management of haze, the plant configuration mode of green space community and the selection of urban greening tree species.

Objective To compare the different extraction methods of soybean crude fatty acid value with the national standard method GB 5009.229-2016 National Standard forFood Safety-Determination of Acid Value in Food. Methods The room temperature extraction method, organic solvent oscillation method, and ultrasonic assisted method were used to detect the crude fatty acid value of soybeans, and compared with the Soxhlet extraction method required by the national standard method. Results The crude fatty acid value of soybeans measured by 3 kinds of extraction methods is basically consistent with the national standard method, and the extraction speed is significantly faster than the Soxhlet extraction method in the national standard. Among them, the ultrasonic assisted extraction method has the shortest extraction time, only requiring 20 minutes; as the sample size increases, the extraction efficiency of the room temperature extraction method improves more significantly. Conclusion Daily testing of grain and oil enterprises can shorten time, reduce costs, and improve efficiency by selecting suitable extraction methods based on sample batch size.

Under the new circumstances of rapid social and economic development in China, higher education is experiencing significant growth. The government is increasingly emphasizing the importance of laboratory safety in science and engineering universities. Given the significant roles of university laboratories in teaching and research, laboratory safety is characterized by diversification, complexity, and specialization. This paper analyzes the main challenges faced by safety management in engineering university laboratories and proposes improvement measures from four perspectives: strengthening and refining the laboratory safety management responsibility system, timely revision of safety-related documents, promoting safety awareness and education, intensifying laboratory safety inspections, establishing a laboratory safety management information system. These measures aim to enhance the overall level of laboratory safety management, providing solid support for the safe operation of laboratories and facilitating teaching and research activities.

The article delves into real-time data processing methods for monitoring tool wear in computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools, with the aim of improving the overall accuracy of the tool monitoring system. The article also systematically reviews several mainstream data processing methods, including power spectrum analysis, wavelet transform, artificial neural network technology, and multi-sensor information fusion technology. Although these methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, a single method often fails to achieve ideal results when dealing with data in complex and changing processing environments. To overcome this challenge, this paper proposes a multi-sensor information fusion data processing method based on hybrid intelligent algorithms
