This review article summarizes the latest achievements on the various synthesis routes of FDCA from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), furoic acid, furan, diglycolic acid, hexaric acid, 2,5-dimethylfuran, and 2-methylfuran. In particular, the direct oxidation, heterogeneous thermal catalytic oxidation, photoelectric catalytic oxidation of HMF and furoic acid carboxylation, disproportionation, carbonylation, and other routes to synthesize FDCA are reviewed in detail. Based on the comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each route, the HMF route and the furoic acid route are considered the most promising candidates for the large-scale production of FDCA. Further exploration and future research should be carried out to improve the catalytic production and separation efficiency of FDCA, simplify the reaction process, and reduce production wastes.

Cu-based electrocatalysts can reduce carbon dioxide to high value-added multi carbon products, but the catalytic mechanism still needs to be studied to improve its selectivity and efficiency. Depending on the state of the Cu, Cu-based catalysts can be divided into Cu alloy/composite catalysts, single-atom, oriented crystalline, and oxidized Cu-based catalysts. This paper introduced the common preparation methods, structural characteristics, effect of electro catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide, and possible catalytic mechanism of the four types of Cu-based catalysts mentioned above.

Review of zeolite-confined subnanometric cluster catalysts Yue MA, Hao XU, Yueming LIU, Kun ZHANG, Peng WU, Mingyuan HE Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2023, 2023 (1): 82-94.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2022.00.009 Abstract （807）   HTML （27）    PDF （5085KB）（656）       Knowledge map    The design of efficient and stable supported metal catalysts to prevent metal species from sintering into large nanoparticles under harsh preparation and reaction conditions is key for various important processes, including the conversion of C1 resources and dehydrogenation of low carbon alkanes to C2 and C3 olefins. Zeolites with uniform subnano micropores and various three-dimensional crystalline structures have been proven as ideal supports for preparing highly efficient and stable metal catalysts via encapsulating subnanometric metal clusters within their pores, cages, and channels. Interactions between metal clusters and the zeolite skeleton can regulate their geometric and electronic structure. The development of zeolite-confined subnanometric cluster catalysts aims to take advantage of this joint confinement effect and induce synergy between guest metal species and active sites in host zeolite frameworks. This can further improve the catalytic activity of resultant composite catalysts, for applications in multiple catalytic reaction processes . In this review, typical preparation methods of zeolite-confined subnanometric clusters and their catalytic applications in selective hydrogenation of CO2 and alkynes, hydrogen generation by formic acid decomposition and ammonia borane hydrolysis, and propane dehydrogenation to propene are discussed.

The prepared catalysts exhibited excellent selectivity and activity for the electroreduction of CO2 to multi-carbon (C2+) products. At –1.26 V vs. RHE, the faradaic efficiency of C2H4 and C2+ products over the Cu-0.5/CP electrode reached 44.0% and 61.6%, respectively, and the total current density reached 12.3 mA·cm–2. In addition, Pd- and Zn-based catalysts were prepared by employing electrodeposition; the results showed that their selectivity for CO was significantly improved, proving that NTA has a certain universality in the preparation of electrocatalysts by using electrodeposition.

3D obstacle-avoidance for a unmanned aerial vehicle based on the improved artificial potential field method Lanfeng ZHOU, Mingyue KONG Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2022, 2022 (6): 54-67.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2022.06.007 Abstract （738）   HTML （26）    PDF （2858KB）（548）       Knowledge map    This paper aims to address the challenge of seeking an optimal safe path for a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) from an initial position to a target position, while avoiding all obstacles in a three-dimensional environment. An improved APF (artificial potential field) method combined with the regular hexagon guidance method is proposed to solve unreachable and local minimum problems near obstacles as observed with traditional artificial potential field methods. First, we add a distance correction factor to the repulsive potential field function to solve problems associated with unreachable targets. Then, a regular hexagon-guided method is proposed to improve the local minimum problem. This method can judge the environment when the UAV is trapped in a local minimum point or trap area and select the appropriate planning method to guide the UAV to escape from the local minimum area. Then, 3D modeling and simulation were carried out via Matlab, taking into account a variety of scenes involving complex obstacles. The results show that this method has good feasibility and effectiveness in real-time path planning of UAVs. Lastly, we demonstrate the performance of the proposed method in a real environment, and the experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively avoid obstacles and find the optimal path.

The results show that 8 species of Tettigonioidea, 16 species of Grylloidea, and 1 species of Gryllotalpidae live in Shanghai Pujiang Country Park. The adult phase and voltinism in their life cycles, moreover, were found to be stable. Most Tettigoniidea and Gryllidea tend to overwinter in soil as diapause eggs, and a proportion of them overwinter as nymphs. The research suggests, furthermore, that using the calling songs of Tettigoniidea and Gryllidea can be a simple and effective way to carry out studies about phenology and ecology of singing insect.

Progress in synthesis of methyl glyoxylate by selective oxidation of methyl glycolate with molecular oxygen Hao WANG, Guofeng ZHAO, Yong LU Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2023, 2023 (1): 104-113.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2023.01.011 Abstract （717）   HTML （9）    PDF （834KB）（486）       Knowledge map    Methyl glyoxylate is widely used in organic synthesis and chemical production. The application of traditional preparation methods is limited by high cost, low efficiency, and significant environmental pollution. During the coal to ethylene glycol process, methyl glycolate is produced as an intermediate product of the hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) to ethylene glycol. Methyl glycolate can be selectively obtained from DMO via hydrogenation, and therefore, has the potential to serve as raw material for methyl glyoxylate. However, only few studies have considered this process. Herein , the applications, traditional preparation methods, and state-of-the-art research progress of methyl glycolate oxidation are reviewed. Recent research on selective oxidation of related alcohols (such as ethanol) to aldehydes and ketones is also summarized. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Research on diagnosis of leukemia by flow detection based on quantum dot coded microspheres Junfei YANG, Yeying WANG, Jing’e ZHOU, Jing WANG, Zhiqiang YAN, Lei YU Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2022, 2022 (6): 139-149.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2022.06.014 Abstract （650）   HTML （8）    PDF （2251KB）（217）       Knowledge map    In this work, micro-scale porous carboxyl polystyrene microspheres (PS) were prepared using seed polymerization. Quantum dots (QDs) were used as fluorescent molecules to synthesize QDs with different emission wavelengths and successfully loaded into porous microspheres to form fluorescent coding microspheres (QDs@PS). Subsequently, serum samples of patients with acute leukemia (AL) were detected, and the antigen in the serum was quantitatively analyzed using flow cytometry. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and flow cytometry images showed that the microspheres were regular and uniform in size. Fluorescence microscopy showed that the QDs permeated uniformly into the whole microsphere. In addition, QDs@PS showed good fluorescence stability, no QD leakage was observed, and the QDs@PS maintained its fluorescence for a period of at least two weeks. The use of fluorescence spectroscopic analysis for the detection of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) showed that the carboxyl groups on the surface of fluorescent microspheres are beneficial for the efficient covalent binding of biological macromolecules, which can be used for sandwich immunosandwich reaction coupling with leukemic high expression antigen interleukin 6 (IL-6). Combined with serum samples from leukemia patients, the fluorescence of QDs was detected by flow cytometry, and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated to determine the content of IL-6 in the serum. These results indicate that the designed optically-encoded microcarrier can be successfully applied to high-throughput and multichannel biomolecular analysis and has great potential in blood disease detection and diagnosis.

Diversity of plants in Chinese Taoist temples and the distribution pattern of Taoist tree species Wei CHANG, Yongchuan YANG, Cheng JIN, Xinyang WANG, Li HUANG, Lihua ZHOU, Siwei HU Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2023, 2023 (3): 9-19.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2023.03.002 Abstract （625）   HTML （248）    PDF （1768KB）（329）       Knowledge map    In this study, we obtained tree species from 72 Taoist temples across China. We subsequently documented the tree species composition, distribution pattern, and impact factors in different regions to determine the role of Taoist temples in biodiversity protection. The results showed that: ① Among 72 Taoist temples sampled across China, we observed a total of 354 species of trees, belonging to 85 families and 208 genera; ② The tree species in the Taoist temples were mainly native species, and the mean value for the proportion of native species in each Taoist temple was 62.5%±19.8% (mean ± standard deviation). Most of the Taoist temples (77.8%), moreover, housed threatened tree species; ③ Taoist tree species originated largely from subtropical regions, with the Yangtze River Basin being the most represented, especially in the southwest and south-central regions where a relatively large proportion of ethnic minorities reside; ④ The main factors affecting the distribution of Taoist tree species were geography and climate, but their composition was indistinguishable within each climate zone. As the climatic zone moves northward, there is no religious tree species replacement phenomenon (i.e., replacing the original religious tree species by native tree species with similar morphology or cultural meaning). The above results indicate that Taoist temples are rich in plant resources, which are potential biodiversity treasures. Thus, they play an essential role in protecting and maintaining biodiversity, with the potential to serve as a reference for regional ecological restoration and urban green space construction.

Personalized course recommendations based on a learner’s knowledge and personality Qimin BAN, Wen WU, Wenxin HU, Hui LIN, Wei ZHENG, Liang HE Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2022, 2022 (6): 87-101.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2022.06.010 Abstract （609）   HTML （14）    PDF （1363KB）（290）       Knowledge map    Adaptive learning is an educational method that uses computer algorithms to coordinate interaction with learners, and provides customized learning resources and learning activities to address the unique needs of each learner. With the impact of COVID-19, adaptive learning has become increasingly important. One of the challenges with adaptive learning is how to provide personalized learning resources for learners—i.e., how to generate personalized recommendation for learners from a large set of learning resources. Existing methodologies mainly generate recommendations based on a learner’s knowledge level; however, this approach has some limitations. Firstly, when assessing a learner’s knowledge level, learners’ forgetting phenomenon has to date not been well modeled. Secondly, recommendations are generated separately from knowledge tracing tasks, ignoring the interconnectedness between these aspects. In addition, learners’ preferences for the type of learning resources and learning strategies is normally ignored if the knowledge level alone is used. To solve the aforementioned problems, this paper proposes a knowledge and personality incorporated multi-task learning framework (KPM) to boost course recommendations (i.e., the above-mentioned learning resources); the proposed method regards an enhanced knowledge tracing task (EKTT) as an auxiliary task to assist the primary course recommendation task (CRT). Specifically, using EKTT, we design a personalized forgetting controller to enhance the deep knowledge tracing model for accurately assessing a learner’s knowledge level. With CRT, we combine the learner’s knowledge level and sequential behavior with their personality adapted to the specific context to obtain learner’s profile; this data is subsequently used to generate a course recommendation list. Experimental results on real-world educational datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method in terms of hit ratio (HR), normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCG), and precision, indicating that our method can generate more personalized recommendations.

Automatic generation of Web front-end code based on UI images Jin GE, Xuesong LU Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2023, 2023 (5): 100-109.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2023.05.009 Abstract （531）   HTML （241）    PDF （1748KB）（255）       Knowledge map    User interfaces (UIs) play a vital role in the interactions between an application and its users. The current popularity of mobile Internet has led to the large-scale migration of web-based applications from desktop to mobile. Web front-end development has become more extensive and in-depth in application development. Traditional web front-end development relies on designers to give initial design drafts and then programmers to write the corresponding UI code. This method has high industry barriers and slow development, which are not conducive to rapid product iteration. The development of deep learning makes it possible to automatically generate web front-end code based on UI images. Existing methods poorly capture the features of UI images, and the accuracy of the generated code is low. To mitigate these problems, we propose an encoder–decoder model, called image2code, based on the Swin Transformer, which is used to generate web front-end code from UI images. Image2code regards the process of generating web front-end code from UI images as an image captioning task and uses Swin Transformer with a sliding window design as the backbone network of the encoder and decoder. The sliding window operation limits the attention calculation to one window, which reduces the amount of calculation by the attention mechanism while simultaneously ensuring that feature connections remain across windows. In addition, image2code generates Emmet code, which is much simpler and can be directly converted to HTML code, improving the efficiency of model training. Experimental results show that image2code performs better than existing representative models, such as pix2code and image2emmet, in the task of web front-end code generation on existing and newly constructed datasets.

Spatial and temporal distribution of Tettigonioidea and Grylloidea at different altitudes of Tianmu Mountain Zhuqing HE, Xinyi LIAO, Nuo DING Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2022, 2022 (6): 123-129.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2022.06.012 Abstract （529）   HTML （8）    PDF （865KB）（334）       Knowledge map    In this research, we carried out a survey based on one fixed transect for Tettigonioidea and Grylloidea insects distributed in Tianmu Mountain from April to October of 2019. The results showed that there were 28 species of Tettigonioidea and 19 species of Grylloidea in Tianmu Mountain. Among them, six species of Tettigonioidea and eight species of Grylloidea were recorded in Tianmu Mountain for the first time. The insects became adults in August, September, and October. The insects distributed at lower altitudes tended to become adults earlier than those at higher altitudes. The number of species declined initially with increasing altitude, and subsequently increased. The Tettigonioidea species are distributed at various altitudes while Grylloidea species are primarily distributed at low altitudes. Because Truljalia tylacantha, Ruidocollaris truncatolobata, Goniogryllus punctatus and some other species are only distributed in a narrow scope at high altitudes, they can be used as indicator species for climate change in Tianmu Mountain.

Sulfate ionic liquids are important because of their unique characteristics, such as a lack of halogen ions, extremely low vapor pressure, high thermal stability, a high viscosity index, low isothermal compressibility, selective solubility, and good biocompatibility. In this paper, the recent progress in sulfate ionic liquids is reviewed, with focus on one-step and two-step synthetic methods. The physicochemical parameters, such as the density, viscosity, refractive index, surface tension, isothermal compression coefficient, and sound conduction, are summarized, and the effects of the physicochemical properties of sulfate ionic liquids, such as the length of the alkyl chains with anionic and cationic groups, are discussed. The sulfate ionic liquids discussed in this review could be used in various fields as new environmentally friendly solvents, extractants, catalysts, lubricating materials, gas absorption materials, and to separate or dope composite materials.

In recent years, researchers have designed and synthesized a series of better-performing, supported Pt-based catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde, based on electronic, synergistic, and geometric effects to improve the selectivity. In this mini-review, we aim to summarize the recent progress in different supported Pt-based catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde and discuss the performance of these supported catalysts to provide ideas for the design of novel better-performing Pt-based catalysts.

Textual research on Xishuai grass Zhuqing HE, Binjie GE Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2023, 2023 (2): 155-160.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2023.02.016 Abstract （509）   HTML （10）    PDF （1942KB）（219）       Knowledge map    Cricket fighting is a traditional Chinese game that has lasted for more than 1000 years. Before competitions, Xishuai grass (stimulant grass) is commonly used to hit a cricket’s head and antennae to prepare the insects for battle. In “Flora of China” and flora of Chinese provinces, Xishuai grass is referenced as the Chinese common name of Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn. In “Flora of Beijing” and “Flora of Hebei”, Xishuai grass is referenced as the Chinese common name of the genus Eleusine. In this paper, however, we demonstrate that Xishuai grass should actually be Digitaria spp. Given the mistakes in the above flora references, this paper aims to clarify the correct classification for future reference.

Research on a knowledge tracking model based on the stacked gated recurrent unit residual network Caidie HUANG, Xinping WANG, Liangyu CHEN, Yong LIU Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2022, 2022 (6): 68-78.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2022.06.008 Abstract （506）   HTML （9）    PDF （1600KB）（347）       Knowledge map    The concept of knowledge tracking involves tracking changes in a student’s knowledge level based on historical question records and other auxiliary information, and predicting the result of a student’s subsequent answer to a question. Since the performance of existing neural network knowledge tracking models needs to be improved, this paper proposes a deep residual network based on a stacked gated recurrent unit (GRU) network named the stacked-gated recurrent unit-residual (S-GRU-R) network. The proposed solution aims to address over-fitting caused by too many parameters in a long short-term memory (LSTM) network; hence, the solution uses a GRU instead of LSTM to learn information on the sequence of questions. The use of stacked GRU can expand sequence learning capacity, and the use of residual connections can reduce the difficulty of model training. Experiments on the Statics2011 data set were completed using S-GRU-R, and AUC (area under the curve) and F1-score were used as evaluation functions. The results showed that S-GRU-R surpassed other similar recurrent neural network models in these two indicators. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral heterocyclic compounds with CO2 as the C1 synthon Zhipeng ZHAO, Ying SUN, Xiaotong GAO, Feng ZHOU Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2023, 2023 (1): 31-40.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2023.01.004 Abstract （504）   HTML （16）    PDF （1463KB）（605）       Knowledge map    As the main component of greenhouse gases, CO2 represents an inexpensive and readily available renewable C1 synthon. In the past few decades, great efforts have been made toward the development of chemical processes that use CO2 as a promising fossil fuel alternative for C1 feedstocks for the production of industrially attractive chemicals. This could provide access to materials of commercial interest from an abundant, nontoxic, renewable, and low-cost carbon source, thus offering interesting opportunities for the chemical industry, organic synthesis, and so on. Considering the importance of chiral heterocycles in organic synthesis and drug development, the development of highly stereoselective and efficient catalytic asymmetric reactions using CO2 as a C1 synthon for these chiral heterocycles has received considerable attention. Successful examples for chiral lactones, carbonates, and carbamates have already been demonstrated. In this paper, we summarize the recent advances in this field.

Disinfection effect of seven frequently used disinfectants on bacteriophage MS2 Yu LI, Zhenming GE Journal of East China Normal University(Natural Science)    2023, 2023 (2): 161-167.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-5641.2023.02.017 Abstract （491）   HTML （17）    PDF （1485KB）（479）       Knowledge map    In this study, the MS2 phages were used as an indicator microorganism to test the function of seven disinfectants with different components: hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, fermented lactic acid disinfectant, iodine disinfectant, quaternary ammonium disinfectant, chlorine-containing disinfectant, and peracetic acid disinfectant. Our results showed that the virus disinfection rate varied notably between the selected disinfectants. The iodine disinfectant exhibited the strongest disinfection effect, followed by the quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant and the peracetic acid disinfectant, while the disinfection effects of hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, and fermentation lactic acid disinfectant were inadequate. The test results provide a reference for the efficient utilization of various disinfectants to eliminate harmful microorganisms in the environment.
