Revealing the spatial and temporal changing characteristics and key factors driving the relationship between the supply of and demand for ecosystem services (SDES) is paramount for the effective management of regional ecosystems and the rational allocation of natural resources. This study calculated the supply of ecosystem services (ESS) in Jiangsu Province, China, in 2000, 2010, and 2020, and quantitatively evaluated the ecosystem service demand (ESD) in those years by considering land development intensity, population density, and economic conditions. The ‘coupling coordination degree and relative development degree’ (CDRD) model is introduced to explore the degree of coordination and change in the relationship of supply versus demand of ecosystem services, and then to reveal the impact of various factors on the spatial differentiation characteristics of the SDES. The results show that: 1) the ESS is high in the Taihu Lake Plain, the southwest of Huaihai area and the eastern coastal zone of Jiangsu Province, yet low in the northwest and middle of Huaihai area, and along the Yangtze River Plain. The overall distribution pattern of ESD and the coordinating degree of the SDES is high in the south and north of Jiangsu Province but low in the province’s middle. 2) The degree of coordination for the SDES increased from 0.371 to 0.415, and the relationship between supply and demand changed from one of moderate imbalance to one of basic coordination. The imbalance of supply and demand is mainly concentrated in the Lixiahe area, coastal plain area, and middle of the Huaihe River Basin, for which the predominant type is a moderate imbalance–demand lag. Meanwhile, the analysis of influencing factors shows that there is an obvious synergistic effect between different factors. The results of this research could contribute to sustainable ecosystem management and decision-making for the construction of ecological civilization in Jiangsu Province.

The simulation system of the new marine simulator is established based on the software Videotrace and VRML language. Many kinds of high and new technologies such as 3D modeling, calibration modeling of the cloud server, the interactive design of the virtual scene have been used in the simulation platform of virtual marine simulator. The new simulation system has further development and excellent interaction function. At the same time, research of virtual marine simulator is carried out for the purpose of improving the development of navigation simulator and the training model in the compound seafarers.

A high-efficient and stable catalyst is highly desired to catalyze ozone for refractory organic pollutants removal. In this work, Mn-Ce bimetallic oxide loaded CNT@Fe3C (Mn0.7Ce0.3Ox/CNT@Fe3C) was synthesized with Mn0.7Ce0.3Ox as the active component and magnetic CNT@Fe3C as the support. The catalytic performance of Mn0.7Ce0.3Ox/CNT@Fe3C towards catalytic ozonation was evaluated. The TOC removal efficiency of phenol degradation after 45 min of reaction was 98%, which was 1.5 times and 1.8 times that of monometallic CeO2/CNT@Fe3C (65%) and MnxOy/CNT@Fe3C (54%), respectively. The synthesized-Mn0.7Ce0.3Ox/CNT@Fe3C possessed good reusability during five successive cycles and remained efficient over a wide range of pH 4.2-8.3. The results of EPR measurements and quenching experiments demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were the dominant reactive oxidation species (ROS) for phenol mineralization in the Mn0.7Ce0.3Ox/CNT@Fe3C/O3 system. Moreover, the magnetic Mn0.7Ce0.3Ox/CNT@Fe3C is easily recovered and reused.
