Abstract: The present disclosure provides an MABR-based method for treating rare earth mine tailwater, comprising: introducing rare earth mine tailwater into a sedimentation pond and simultaneously injecting pig farm breeding tailwater into the sedimentation pond, and fully mixing the two in the sedimentation pond for solid particulate sedimentation; performing pH adjustment, MABR enhancement treatment, percolation treatment with a percolation dam, and ecological purification with an ecological purification pond; and overflowing and discharging the rare earth mine tailwater purified by the ecological purification pond to a natural water body.

Abstract: An amphibious robot includes a housing including a first shell and a second shell and having a first configuration and a second configuration, a rack disposed in an inner cavity of the housing, a telescopic assembly disposed on the rack and connected between the first shell and the second shell, and a rotary wing assembly disposed on the rack and having a folded configuration and a flight configuration. The rotary wing assembly includes: a folding arm with one end rotatably connected to the rack, a rotary wing, and a tilting arm connected between the rotary wing and the folding arm, the tilting arm and the rotary wing are extended to an outside of the housing to be adapted to drive the robot to fly in the flight configuration, and the tilting arm is rotatable relative to the folding arm to adjust a rotation direction of the rotary wing.

Abstract: Use of high resolution environmental scanning electron microscopy to capture images of contact lens coating layers, enabling measurement of the coating thickness and structures of the coating layer to be precisely characterized. The coating layer can be directly visualized and quantitatively measured. Furthermore, controlled environments of varying temperatures and varying levels of relative humidity can be established in environmental scanning electron microscopy, such that the dynamic changes of the coating in such conditions can be imaged and measured. The controlled environments can be set up to mimic either the manufacturing process conditions, or be set up to simulate lens-on-eye conditions.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to screening potentially inappropriate online content. A flag is received that indicates online content is potentially inappropriate. The flag is generated by a source, such as a user, or a content classifier. The potential accuracy of the flag is determined or inferred based on a variety of factors, including a reputation of the source, and the flag is categorized as requiring higher priority administrative action or requiring lower priority administrative action based in part on the potential accuracy of the flag. In addition, administrative action is taken based in part on the categorization of the flag.

Abstract: A device, and its production method, the device has a substrate and a coating composition, the coating composition being formed by the gas phase or plasma polymerization of a gas comprising at least one organic compound or monomer. The polymerization is carried out using a pulsed discharge having a duty cycle of less than about ⅕, in which the pulse-on time is less than about 100 msec and the pulse-off time is less than about 2000 msec. The duty cycle can also be varied, thus the coating composition can be gradient layered accordingly. The device has a coating composition which is uniform in thickness, pin-hole free, optically transparent in the visible region of the magnetic spectrum, permeable to oxygen, abrasive resistant, wettable and biologically non-fouling.

Abstract: Devices, and their method of production, having coatings deposited by pulsed plasma polymerization of a macrocycle containing a heteroatom, wherein the heteroatom is oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or a mixture thereof The coatings on contact lens are preferably deposited by gas phase polymerization of a cyclic ether, such as crown ether, which coatings are non-fouling and wettable, and the gas phase polymerization utilizes a pulsed discharge.
