Ammonia storage and slip under steady and transient state in close-coupled SCR.

The close-coupled selective catalytic reduction (cc-SCR) catalyst is an effective technology to reduce tailpipe NOx emission during cold start. This paper investigated the optimal ammonia storage under steady and transient state in the cc-SCR. The study showed that a trade-off between NOx conversion efficiency and ammonia slip is observed on the pareto solutions under steady state, and the optimal ammonia storage is calculated with ammonia slip less than 10 µL/L based on the China Ⅵ emission legislation. The rapid temperature increase will lead to severe ammonia slip in the transient test cycle. A simplified 0-D calculation method on ammonia slip under transient state is proposed based on kinetic model of ammonia adsorption and desorption. In addition, the effect of ammonia storage, catalyst temperature and temperature increasing rate on ammonia slip are analyzed. The optimal ammonia storage is calculated with maximum ammonia slip less than 100 µL/L according to the oxidation efficiency of ammonia slip catalyst (ASC) downstream cc-SCR. It was found that the optimal ammonia storage under transient state is much lower than that under steady state in cc-SCR at lower temperature, and a phase diagram is established to analyze the influence of temperature and temperature increasing rate on optimal ammonia storage.

Disorder-tunable entanglement at infinite temperature.

Emerging quantum technologies hold the promise of unravelling difficult problems ranging from condensed matter to high-energy physics while, at the same time, motivating the search for unprecedented phenomena in their setting. Here, we use a custom-built superconducting qubit ladder to realize non-thermalizing states with rich entanglement structures in the middle of the energy spectrum. Despite effectively forming an "infinite" temperature ensemble, these states robustly encode quantum information far from equilibrium, as we demonstrate by measuring the fidelity and entanglement entropy in the quench dynamics of the ladder. Our approach harnesses the recently proposed type of non-ergodic behavior known as "rainbow scar," which allows us to obtain analytically exact eigenfunctions whose ergodicity-breaking properties can be conveniently controlled by randomizing the couplings of the model without affecting their energy. The on-demand tunability of quantum correlations via disorder allows for in situ control over ergodicity breaking, and it provides a knob for designing exotic many-body states that defy thermalization.

How does role accumulation enhance career adaptability? A dual mediation analysis.

Investigating the contributing factors of career adaptability has always been an important topic in the field of vocational psychology research. From the perspective of person-environment interaction, this study introduced the role accumulation theory into the researches of career adaptability. Using a sample of 379 Chinese college students (mean age = 20.36 years, SD = 1.67), a model of role accumulation affecting college students' career adaptability was constructed, and the parallel mediating mechanisms of self-efficacy and social support were also discussed. Participants filled out questionnaires regarding role accumulation, self-efficacy, social support, and career adaptability. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that: (1) Role accumulation positively predicted career adaptability in college students; (2) Role accumulation also indirectly predicted career adaptability through self-efficacy and social support. The present study is the first to validate the psychological pathways linking role accumulation to career adaptability via self-efficacy and social support. The contribution of this study to the literature is to provide a new perspective that can clarify the predictors of career adaptability. In addition, for educational administrators and career practitioners, targeting role accumulation is valuable for developing college students' career adaptability.
