Summary: Ecosystems are unique in their governance and coordination challenges, requiring non-hierarchical ways to orchestrate ecosystem constituents for coherent value offering. Leaders must persuade voluntary inputs consistent with the ecosystem's value. The ecosystem orchestration framework distinguishes between technological, economic, institutional, and behavioral layers, as well as the three stages of ecosystem momentum creation: initiation, scaling, and control.

Summary: The success of current multi-view clustering lies in the assumption of completeness on each view, but this assumption is rarely satisfied in real-world applications. Incomplete multi-view clustering (IMC) focuses on clustering partially observed instances, caused by data corruption or sensor failure. However, the current research faces obstacles including the reliance on pairwise similarity measurement, the challenge of recovering and enhancing high-order similarities, and the limitation to dual-view IMC. This paper proposes a Tensorized Topological Graph Learning (TTGL) approach for generalized incomplete multi-view clustering, which considers topological graph construction, missing feature completion, and high-order uncertain correlation enhancement. Experimental results on benchmark datasets show the effectiveness of TTGL compared to state-of-the-art IMC clustering algorithms. Source code for TTGL is available at: https://github.com/DarrenZZhang/TTGL.

Summary: This paper designs an online music education system based on advanced artificial intelligence technology to solve the challenges brought by multi-source and cross-domain scenarios and provide personalized learning course resource recommendations for music online learners. The system consists of four layers: user interface layer, application module layer, function module layer, and data storage layer. This paper proposes a music recommendation algorithm based on a personalized multimodal network model, which performs music information retrieval (MIR) and constructs a multimodal network model to achieve personalized music recommendation based on the user's preference for resources. The method proposed in this paper has good performance in providing suitable music recommendations for users, as demonstrated by comparison results with three existing works. The artificial intelligence technology-driven online music education mechanism proposed in this paper has promising prospects.

Summary: This article introduces a conceptual model of the cross-scale effect of heavy metals (HMs) on biogeochemical services by services providing units (SPUs) and proposes a method for applying the model. The objectives are to identify research clusters related to the effects of HMs on ecosystem services (ES), biodiversity, and resilience, map scientific fields necessary for implementation of the model, describe the complexity of cause-effect chains, and suggest approaches for implementing the model in contaminated socio-ecological systems. The analysis shows that current research focuses on microbial communities and functional traits, with less emphasis on larger-scale issues. The evaluation indicates the importance of this model in contaminated socio-ecological systems.

Summary: Severe hypothermia rat models were established by immersion in artificial seawater at 15 degrees C for 5 hours, and the effects of rewarming were evaluated using vital sign monitoring and detection of intestinal inflammation cytokines. The study showed that rewarming at 37 degrees C water bath effectively alleviated the acute inflammatory reaction and may be a suitable method for early treatment of water immersion hypothermia. IL-1 beta was identified as a potential monitoring biomarker for the therapeutic effect of rewarming.

Summary: The traditional technology diffusion literature focuses on the diffusion of technologies within the existing manufacturing paradigm, while few studies have explored the determinants and mechanisms of technology diffusion when moving across manufacturing paradigms. This article aims to explore the intrinsic and institutional factors, as well as the impact mechanism on technology diffusion in the context of manufacturing paradigm shift. The study reveals that government interventions, especially indirect ones, have significant moderating effects on the influential mechanism of technology diffusion in a manufacturing paradigm shift.

Summary: Food packaging materials are essential for maintaining food quality by preventing deterioration, dehydration, and oxidation. Natural biopolymers, such as polysaccharides and proteins, are being investigated for their potential as hydrophobic films in food packaging. Effective preparation strategies, mechanical and barrier properties, pH responsiveness, self-cleaning performance, and antibacterial and antioxidant functions of hydrophobic biopolymer-based films are summarized. The most effective methods include electrospinning with hydrophobically modified biopolymers, addition of micro/nanofillers and hydrophobic compounds, and hydrophobic modification of the films, which can even produce superhydrophobic films with excellent barrier properties. The current opportunities and challenges of hydrophobic biopolymer-based films are discussed.

Summary: The study investigates the melting behavior and microstructure of bulk Sn-xIn (x = 6, 12, and 24, wt.%) solders, as well as the thermomigration, elemental distribution, and intermetallic compound (IMC) growth in Cu/Sn-xIn/Cu micro solder joints during soldering and aging under temperature gradient (TG). The results show that the addition of In effectively decreases the melting temperature of the bulk solders. The growth rate of the interfacial IMC layer gradually decreases with increasing In content during soldering under TG. The study provides insight into the application of In-containing solders in electronic packaging.
