Article Abstract

Classically, Qigong is a Chinese technique that has been practiced in China for the past 3,000 years for healing the inner self. Qigong, wherein "Qi" means body energy and "Gong" denotes cultivation, regulates the energy flow in the body. The Qigong technique comprises a package of deep breathing training, gentle and rhythmic movement, and muscle-strengthening exercises that heal the body to activate one's internal soul energy. It has demonstrated its efficacy by inducing relaxation, building up stamina, strengthening immunity, appreciating muscle conditioning, and minimizing anxiety and depression. Furthermore, it has been beneficial in improving awareness of joint and movement senses. Specifically, Qigong brings healing by regulating energy flow in the whole-body systems. Moreover, it has exhibited a variety of regenerating effects by inducing emotional and mental relaxation. In today's world, Qigong exercises are being used for treating musculoskeletal disorders that are work- and stress-related by nature. Qigong is practiced globally as deep breathing exercises, and meditation is practiced for peace of mind and spirituality, whereas vigorous practice includes martial arts.

The environmental impact of Tire and Road Wear Particles (TRWP), arising from tire-road friction, has raised significant concerns. Like microplastics, TRWP contaminate air, water, and soil, with considerable annual emissions and runoff into freshwater ecosystems. Among TRWP compounds, 6PPD-Q, leached from tire particles, shows varying toxicity across species, notably affecting fish and invertebrates.

Progress and Future Challenges in Bionic Drag Reduction Research Inspired by Fish Skin Properties.

During the long course of evolution, fish have developed complex skin structures to adapt to the dynamic aquatic environment. These skin features not only reflect optimal adaptation to the aquatic environment but also play a key role in effectively reducing fluid drag and improving swimming efficiency, to reveal the intrinsic connection between the complex skin structure of fish and drag reduction performance and to provide new design ideas for the drag reduction surface of underwater vehicles. Based on the different drag reduction characteristics of fish skin structures, this paper divides existing biomimetic drag reduction technologies into three categories: riblet drag reduction, flexible drag reduction, and composite drag reduction.

Data-Driven Flow Control for Natural Gas Pipeline Networks: Optimizing via Anomaly Detection and Residual Weight Coefficients.

ACS Omega

September 2025

Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Oil, Gas and New Energy Storage and Transportation Safety, China University of Petroleum, Qingdao, Shandong 266580, People's Republic of China.

The natural gas pipeline network has a complex topology with variable flow directions, and the supply demand relationships between nodes exhibit cyclical, fluctuating, and time-varying trends. Developing efficient, accurate, and fast intelligent control algorithms is crucial for optimizing the distribution of natural gas networks. Analyzing the operational data from a provincial network over three years revealed that abnormal flow data, such as supply interruptions due to incidents, early fulfillment of supply, and insufficient flow distribution, can cause deviations between the actual transmission volume and the planned transmission volume predicted by the uneven coefficient method.
