Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and intelligent system for recognizing and forewarning a fault of an industrial boiler. The method for recognizing and forewarning the fault of the industrial boiler includes: acquiring preset boiler monitoring parameter combinations; acquiring a segmentation time span corresponding to each of the boiler monitoring parameter combinations; acquiring a variation graph of all the boiler monitoring parameters in each of the boiler monitoring parameter combinations, and segmenting and fragmenting the variation graph of all the boiler monitoring parameters in a time sequence according to the segmentation time span to obtain fragmented images; using the fragmented images of all the boiler monitoring parameters within the same time period in each of the boiler monitoring parameter combinations as a fragmented image combination to obtain a plurality of fragmented image combinations.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for preparing coated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and relates as well to coated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) obtainable by the process described herein. These new CNC hybrid nanomaterials are expected to be useful, for example, for the conjugation and electrostatic complexation with various functional moieties such as free metal ions, carboxylic acids, and epoxy and aldehyde derivatives. The disclosure further relates to a method to fabricate N-doped carbon nanomaterial from the coated CNCs.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for artificial sensors that have prolonged life-span and stability in harsh environments compared to sensors which use natural enzymes which easily denature under varying conditions. These sensors may be composed of novel nanostructures, and may be artificial sensors or artificial non-enzymatic sensors. In some embodiments, an artificial sensor may include a modulating and/or a cleansing electrode 4-electrode system.
