Leveraging the advanced capabilities of tools like Silvaco TCAD, an in-depth analysis was conducted to compare the performance and gate leakage current control abilities of SiO2, HfO2, and Si3N4, utilizing the Quantum examples 3D FinFET model. The findings not only highlight the potential of HfO2 and Si3N4 as worthy replacements for SiO2 but also accentuate the distinct advantages of SiO2, making it particularly well-suited as a substitute.

Graphite is the most commonly used anode material for its excellent electrochemical performance. Since the theoretical lithium storage capacity of graphite is only 372 mAh/g, the lithium battery with graphite anode has problems such as poor electrolyte compatibility and a high volume expansion rate. Many researchers have devoted themselves to the modification of graphite anode to improve the comprehensive performance of graphite anode materials. This paper focuses on three main modification methods of graphite anodes. The application research progress of graphite modification on the improvement of lithium batteries performance was summarized from the aspects of spheroidization treatment, surface coating, and element doping. Spheroidization treatment and surface coating can effectively improve the electrochemical properties of the material interface, but it is difficult to increase the energy density of the material interface. Doping modification can improve energy density, but it cannot be uniform and stable.

Traditional methods of analyzing urbanization characteristics and their influencing factors make it difficult to visualize the changes in land-use patterns during the urbanization process. Satellite remote sensing has a greater advantage in identifying concrete coverage and built-up areas. In this study, the visualization and analysis of remote sensing images are used to monitor the trend of urban expansion and changes in land-use patterns in Shenzhen during the period of 1987-2023. At the same time, this paper provides an in-depth analysis of the spatial and temporal characteristics of urbanization in Shenzhen and explores the role of policy as a major factor in promoting the process. It is found that the proportion of built-up land in Shenzhen increased significantly between 1987 and 2023, and most of the built-up land was transformed into vegetated areas and waters. During the study period, urbanization in Shenzhen was characterized by high-speed expansion in the early period and slow growth in the later period. Upon analysis, the promotion of Chinas reform and opening-up policy is the main factor that makes Shenzhens urbanization show the above characteristics. The research in this paper helps show the importance of policies in Chinas urbanization process, which can provide experience for Chinas urbanization to transfer from the high-speed mode to the high-quality mode.","PeriodicalId":350976,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Engineering","volume":"1 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141004505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, LIBs still have room for improvement, such as charging speed. The performance of electrodes in LIBs can be enhanced using nanotechnology, which involves nanocoating, nanostructure, and nanodoping. Nano techniques offer the benefits of large surface area, robustness, and high resistance.

The impact of electrification on carbon emissions reduction varies across countries with different development profiles. In developed countries, with the increase of renewable resources usage in electricity production, the per capita CO2 emissions decrease. For example, Germany increased its share of electricity production from renewable sources from 6.2% to 44%, and its per capita CO2 emissions dropped from 11.2 t to 8.1t. While in developing countries, the per capita CO2 emissions are still increasing with the increase of electrification level. For example, India increased its degree of electrification from 58% to 99%, and its per capita CO2 emissions increased from 0.9 t to 1.9 t. This paper first used LCA data to compare the Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of electric vehicles and fuel vehicles and GHG emissions of electricity plants from different energy sources. Then, this paper used Linear regression to determine how close between electrification and climate change. This research aims to identify the potential of electrification to achieve urbanization and carbon neutrality, as there are few discussions regarding the combination of these three topics at present. This research can confirm the benefit of electrification in reducing carbon emissions, which can promote the broad application of electrification and its development.","PeriodicalId":350976,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Engineering","volume":"6 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increasing extent and intensity of artificial light has impacted the biology and ecology of species significantly. Admittedly, the widespread use of light benefits people to a large extent and is positively associated with modernization, security, and wealth. But its catastrophic effects can never be ignored. To be specific, light pollution can arouse negative health impacts such as headaches, dizziness, increased anxiety, pressure, and fatigue. The paper wants to find applicable indicators regarding the risk levels of light pollution and establish criteria to judge the risk of light pollution in different areas. In the process, the research first measures the interconnection between the indicators, which are chosen to reflect the risk of light pollution, and then uses PCA to implement dimensionality reduction so as to simplify the model. After that, EWM and TOPSIS are applied to determine the weight of each indicator and the rating of the cities. Institutions or governments that are responsible for managing light pollution can then use the model to judge the risk level of different cities. The model can help to avoid overlooking or overemphasizing a city's light pollution risk level, providing a more accurate estimation. In this case, institutions and the government can take better and more effective measures to restrict light pollution.","PeriodicalId":350976,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Engineering","volume":"138 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141002650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Describing changes in the characteristics of vegetation cover under different influencing factors carries significant significance for the restoration of vegetation in karst areas, taking the Li River Basin as an example. This study is based on the vegetation NDVI dataset MOD13Q1 of the Li River Basin from 2000 to 2020. Results showed that: over the past 21 years, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) mean value in the Li River Basin was around 0.85. The Li River Basins inter-annual growth rate was 0.011/10yr; nevertheless, there are substantial discrepancies among regions.
