Reliability analysis of subsea control system using FMEA and FFTA.

Reliability technology plays a significant role in ensuring the safe operation of the subsea control system. To perform a comprehensive analysis of the reliability of complex systems, a combination of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fuzzy Fault Tree Approach (FFTA) is introduced. Firstly, the FMEA method is used to analyze the potential failure modes and causes of system failure by completing the qualitative analysis of system reliability from the perspective of multi-factor failure modes.

Dense Perovskite Thick Film Enabled by Saturated Solution Filling for Sensitive X-ray Detection and Imaging.

Thick polycrystalline perovskite films synthesized by using solution processes show great potential in X-ray detection applications. However, due to the evaporation of the solvent, many pinholes and defects appear in the thick films, which deteriorate their optoelectronic properties and diminish their X-ray detection performance. Therefore, the preparation of large area and dense perovskite thick films is desired.

Spatiotemporal responses of habitat quality to land use changes in the source area of Pearl River, China.

Habitat quality assessment provides an effective interface for exploring the mechanisms linking land use change and biodiversity. We used InVEST model to assess the spatial and temporal variations of habitat quality in the Pearl River source area from 2000 to 2020, and to examine the impacts of land use change on habitat quality. The results showed that during the study period, construction land had the largest change, with an area increase of 321.

Bulk Heterostructure BAPbI/MAPbI Perovskites for Suppressed Ion Migration To Achieve Sensitive X-ray Detection Performance.

Three-dimensional (3D) lead-halide perovskites with outstanding mobility-lifetime products and large attenuation coefficients for X-ray photons have demonstrated highly sensitive X-ray detection. However, there exists severe ion migration, especially under electrical bias, that results in dark-current drift and poorer device stability. Theoretical analyses suggest that 3D perovskites with two-dimensional (2D) perovskites may mitigate ion migration and reduce the dark current to achieve a drastically lower detection limit, which is badly needed for X-ray diagnostics.

Urban heat vulnerability: A dynamic assessment using multi-source data in coastal metropolis of Southeast China.

Extreme heat caused by global climate change has become a serious threat to the sustainable development of urban areas. Scientific assessment of the impacts of extreme heat on urban areas and in-depth knowledge of the cross-scale mechanisms of heat vulnerability forming in urban systems are expected to support policymakers and stakeholders in developing effective policies to mitigate the economic, social, and health risks. Based on the perspective of the human-environment system, this study constructed a conceptual framework and index system of "exposure-susceptibility-adaptive capacity" for urban heat vulnerability (UHV) and proposed its assessment methods.
