Dear Editor,The distributed constraint optimization problems(DCOPs) [1]-[3]provide an efficient model for solving the cooperative problems of multi-agent systems, which has been successfully applied to model the real-world problems like the distributed scheduling [4], sensor network management [5], [6], multi-robot coordination [7], and smart grid [8]. However, DCOPs were not well suited to solve the problems with continuous variables and constraint cost in functional form, such as the target tracking sensor orientation [9], the air and ground cooperative surveillance [10], and the sensor network coverage [11].

Finding ways to produce dense and smooth perovskite films with negligible defects is vital for achieving high-efficiency perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Herein,we aim to enhance the quality of the perovskite films through the utilization of a multifunctional additive in the perovskite anti-solvent,a strategy referred to as anti-solvent additive ***,we introduce ortho-substituted-4′-(4,4″-di-tertbutyl-1,1′:3′,1″-terphenyl)-graphdiyne(o-TB-GDY)as an AAE additive,characterized by its sp/sp^2-cohybridized and highlyπ-conjugated structure,into the anti-solvent.o-TB-GDY not only significantly passivates undercoordinated lead defects(through potent coordination originating from specific highπ–electron conjugation),but also serves as nucleation seeds to effectively enhance the nucleation and growth of perovskite *** markedly reduces defects and non-radiative recombination,thereby increasing the power conversion efficiency(PCE)to 25.62%(certified as 25.01%).Meanwhile,the PSCs exhibit largely enhanced stability,maintaining 92.6%of their initial PCEs after 500 h continuous 1-sun illumination at~23°C in a nitrogen-filled glove box.

As an important component of light hydrocarbon compounds, alkylbenzene compounds lack indicators to indicate the source of organic matter of light oils and condensates. Forty-one oil samples from the Tarim Basin and Beibuwan Basin were analyzed by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry(GC × GC-TOFMS). The concentration distributions of thirteen light hydrocarbon compounds with organic matter source and sedimentary environment indication were studied. There is no significant difference in the concentrations of 1-methylpropylbenzene(MPB) in all studied oils. However, the concentrations of 2-MPB in the Tarim swamp oils are higher than that in the Beibuwan lacustrine oils and Tarim marine oils. Based on the significant concentration difference of 1-and 2-MPB in all studied oils, 1-/2-MPB(MPBr) was proposed as an indicator to identify the source of organic matter in crude oils. The MPBr values greater than 1.5 indicate that the crude oil mainly comes from lower aquatic organisms, bacteria, and algae. The MPBr values greater than 1.0 and less than 1.5indicate that crude oil was derived from the combined contributions of lower aquatic organisms, bacteria and algae, and terrestrial higher plants. The MPBr values less than 1.0 suggest that the crude oil was mainly derived from terrigenous higher plants. The MPBr values in crude oils basically are not or slightly affected by depositional environment and secondary alteration. The MPBr values can be used to infer the organic matter origin in sediments, especially for the lack of biomarkers of light oils and condensates.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) is a common disease often accompanied by pain, seriously affecting physical and mental health of patients. Abnormal innervation at the osteochondral junction has been considered as a predominant origin of arthralgia, while the specific mechanism mediating pain remains unclear. To investigate the underlying mechanism of TMJ-OA pain, an abnormal joint loading model was used to induce TMJ-OA pain. We found that during the development of TMJ-OA, the increased innervation of sympathetic nerve of subchondral bone precedes that of sensory nerves. Furthermore, these two types of nerves are spatially closely associated. Additionally, it was discovered that activation of sympathetic neural signals promotes osteoarthritic pain in mice, whereas blocking these signals effectively alleviates pain. In vitro experiments also confirmed that norepinephrine released by sympathetic neurons promotes the activation and axonal growth of sensory neurons. Moreover, we also discovered that through releasing norepinephrine, regional sympathetic nerves of subchondral bone were found to regulate growth and activation of local sensory nerves synergistically with other pain regulators. This study identified the role of regional sympathetic nerves in mediating pain in TMJ-OA. It sheds light on a new mechanism of abnormal innervation at the osteochondral junction and the regional crosstalk between peripheral nerves, providing a potential target for treating TMJ-OA pain.
