The gradual accumulation of phosphogypsum (PG) has attracted worldwide attention because of its occupation of considerable surface land and serious environmental consequences. This work demonstrates the feasibility of PG-based cemented paste backfill (CPB) by considering its physical properties and environmental effects, thus providing an approach for significant disposal of PG in an economical way. Firstly, the mechanical properties of the PG-based CPB specimens were tested. The specimens were prepared with original PG, and the maximum compressive strength reached around 1.5 MPa with the phosphogypsum/cementitious agents ratio of 4:1 and the slurry concentration of 66% at 120 d of curing age. Then, the pollution potential of the PG before and after its inclusion into cementitious agents was investigated. The results showed that when PG was included into backfill samples, the release of P, F and metals dramatically decreased. Additionally, the results of five rounds of leaching tests with backfill samples having different curing ages suggested that the risk of diffusion of pollutants was much less than that from the leachates of PG. Synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) results suggested that the metal contents in leachates were within the limits defined in the Chinese standard (DZ/T 0290-2015). Therefore, the PG-based CPB technology could provide an economical alternative for the consumption and reutilization of a significant amount of PG while alleviating its pollution potential.

Relative evaluation of probabilistic methods for spatio-temporal wind forecasting
Lars odegaard Bentsen, Narada Dilp Warakagoda, Roy Stenbro, Paal Engelstad
Summary: This study investigates uncertainty modeling in wind power forecasting using different parametric and non-parametric methods. Johnson's SU distribution is found to outperform Gaussian distributions in predicting wind power. This research contributes to the literature by introducing Johnson's SU distribution as a candidate for probabilistic wind forecasting.

Comparison of ethane recovery processes for lean gas based on a coupled model
Xing Liu, Qiuchen Wang, Yunhao Wen, Long Li, Xinfang Zhang, Yi Wang
Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

A novel deep-learning framework for short-term prediction of cooling load in public buildings
Cairong Song, Haidong Yang, Xian-Bing Meng, Pan Yang, Jianyang Cai, Hao Bao, Kangkang Xu
Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

The impact of social interaction and information acquisition on the adoption of soil and water conservation technology by farmers: Evidence from the Loess Plateau, China
Zhe Chen, Xiaojing Li, Xianli Xia, Jizhou Zhang
Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
