Policy and Situation of Renewable Energy in China
China has made significant progress in developing renewable energy, but challenges in integrating variable sources like wind, solar, and hydro power persist. Existing research has a regional focus and lacks a comprehensive understanding of integration challenges in specific regions. Moreover, research concentrates on individual energy types rather than multiple sources.

Macadamia Nutshells for Bio-Synthetic Polymer Composites
The global production of macadamia nuts has witnessed a significant increase, resulting in the accumulation of large quantities of discarded nutshells. These nutshells possess the properties of remarkable hardness and toughness, which are comparable to those of aluminum. Incorporating natural fillers to enhance the properties of composite materials for various applications, including light duty, structural, and semi-structural purposes, is a common practice. Given their inherent hardness and toughness, macadamia nutshells present an intriguing choice as fillers, provided that the manufacturing conditions are economically viable. Macadamia nutshell-filled polymeric composites hold promising potential for manufacturing various structural components, including sandwich composites, with prospective applications in infrastructure, aerospace, and automotive industries. Additionally, macadamia shells can be processed at high temperatures in a specialized low-oxygen environment to produce biochar, which finds applications in carbon filters, life-saving medical treatments, industrial nano-powders, and cosmetics.

Wearable Neurofeedback Technologies
Neurofeedback, utilizing an electroencephalogram (EEG) and/or a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) device, is a real-time measurement of brain activity directed toward controlling and optimizing brain function. This treatment has often been attributed to improvements in disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, and epilepsy, among others.

Readiness Factors for Sustainable Lean Transformation ofConstruction Organizations
Readiness for lean transformation is considered an essential requirement. Several studies have been conducted to identify lean readiness factors and develop assessment frameworks in other sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceutical, emergency, higher education, etc., but none in construction. The work assesses the criteria and factors of lean readiness.

Deep Learning Stranded Neural Network Model
Maintenance processes are of high importance for industrial plants. They have to be performed regularly and uninterruptedly. To assist maintenance personnel, industrial sensors monitored by distributed control systems observe and collect several machinery parameters in the cloud. Then, machine learning algorithms try to match patterns and classify abnormal behaviors.

Strategies to Improve Water Resistance in Protein Adhesives
Proteins are the most abundant class of bio-based adhesive feedstocks; they are primarily linear polyamides composed of polypeptides linkages of amino acids. The fundamental structure is determined by the polypeptide structure of the protein. The overall mechanism to produce protein-based adhesives is a denaturing process that involves an aqueous reaction matrix. Protein adhesives stand out due to their sustainability, renewable sources, and biodegradability. However, they are limited by poor wet strength and water resistance, which affect their wide acceptability in the marketplace. Researchers have developed multiple strategies to mitigate these issues to advance protein adhesives so they may compete more favorably with their petroleum-based counterparts.
