Smart life and sustainable development: a comparative analysis on energy and water efficiency in China and the EU by Ina VIRTOSU, Chen LI

“…The difference of rules in these two jurisdictions reflects that China and the EU have their own principles and objectives: China attempts to balance the demand of developing smart city infrastructures and the consumption on natural resources, but the EU has strong ambition on low carbon emission in the whole Union. However, the two jurisdictions still have a common goal to maximize the efficiency of water and electricity consumption which is a fundamental issue for accelerating the transition towards sustainability. …”

Study on Corrosion Characterization and Mechanism of the Monitoring Tubing under Air-Foam Flooding Injection Well by NING Chuang, ZHANG Liwei, TONG Zhangbing, JING Zhengzheng, YIN Zhifu

“…Through long-term corrosion monitoring of the air-foam flooding injection well string on site， the corrosion characteristics of the inner and outer walls of J55 tubing at the upper and lower well sections in the air-foam flooding test area injection well environment were studied.The morphologies of the corrosion products were characterized by SEM and 3D confocal microscopy， and the compositions of the corrosion products were analyzed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.Furthermore， the corrosion mechanism was explored and discussed.The results showed that J55 oil pipe had severe overall corrosion and varying degrees of localized corrosion， with more severe corrosion in the downhole section.The corrosion products on the inner and outer surfaces of different sections of the tubing were different， mainly including Fe0.925O，FeSx，Fe3O4 and FeO(OH).The structure of carbon steel tubing might form cracks and be transgranular micro-cracking during the service of air-foam flooding.…”

Toward climate neutral data centers: Greenhouse gas inventory, scenarios, and strategies by Tuğana Aslan, Peter Holzapfel, Lutz Stobbe, Andreas Grimm, Nils F. Nissen, Matthias Finkbeiner

“…We predict an increase in energy use for our illustrative Germany-based data center by 20%, and an increase in the overall carbon footprint by 13% between 2020 and 2030. Although operational measures and increased use of renewable electricity can decrease GHG emissions over the 2020 level by up to 70%, achieving net zero inevitably requires mechanisms to mitigate and compensate emissions across the value chain.…”

The ITS3 detector and physics reach of the LS3 ALICE Upgrade by Wang Chun-Zheng

“…It will be based on newly developed wafer-scale monolithic active pixel sensors, which are bent into truly cylindrical layers and held in place by light mechanics made from carbon foam. Unprecedented low values of material budget (per layer) and closeness to interaction point (19 mm) lead to a factor two improvement in pointing resolutions from very low pT (O(100MeV/c)), achieving, for example, 20 µm and 15 µm in the transversal and longitudinal directions, respectively, for 1 GeV/c primary charged pions. …”
