Simultaneously, corresponding analysis of power spectra is also given with a brief process. The optimal waveform is proposed without useful information loss, by removing linear spectra presenting periodic components. On this basis, the reasonable definition of bandwidth is discussed, which indicates that the EBPSK belongs to the category of the ultra narrow band （UNB） throughput-efficient communication. Meanwhile, the modulation parameters＇ effects on bandwidth, transmission rate and transmission performance are analyzed. Results illustrate the validity of theoretical analysis and spectrum optimization. Results also prove that this UNB system can obtain good bit error rate （BER） performance with high spectra efficiency.展开更多

文摘Strategically coupling nanoparticle hybrids and internal thermosensitive molecular switches establishes an innovative paradigm for constructing micro/nanoscale-reconfigurable robots,facilitating energyefficient CO_(2) management in life-support systems of confined space.Here,a micro/nano-reconfigurable robot is constructed from the CO_(2) molecular hunters,temperature-sensitive molecular switch,solar photothermal conversion,and magnetically-driven function engines.The molecular hunters within the molecular extension state can capture 6.19 mmol g^(−1) of CO_(2) to form carbamic acid and ammonium bicarbonate.Interestingly,the molecular switch of the robot activates a molecular curling state that facilitates CO_(2) release through nano-reconfiguration,which is mediated by the temperature-sensitive curling of Pluronic F127 molecular chains during the photothermal desorption.Nano-reconfiguration of robot alters the amino microenvironment,including increasing surface electrostatic potential of the amino group and decreasing overall lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level.This weakened the nucleophilic attack ability of the amino group toward the adsorption product derivatives,thereby inhibiting the side reactions that generate hard-to-decompose urea structures,achieving the lowest regeneration temperature of 55℃ reported to date.The engine of the robot possesses non-contact magnetically-driven micro-reconfiguration capability to achieve efficient photothermal regeneration while avoiding local overheating.Notably,the robot successfully prolonged the survival time of mice in the sealed container by up to 54.61%,effectively addressing the issue of carbon suffocation in confined spaces.This work significantly enhances life-support systems for deep-space exploration,while stimulating innovations in sustainable carbon management technologies for terrestrial extreme environments.

文摘In rock engineering,natural cracks in rock masses subjected to external loads tend to initiate and propagate,leading to potential safety hazards.To investigate the effect of cracking behavior on the mechanical properties of rocks,the cracking processes of pre-cracked rocks have been extensively studied using numerical modeling methods.The peridynamics(PD)exhibits advantages over other numerical methods due to the absence of the requirements for remeshing and external crack growth criterion.However,for modeling pre-cracked rock cracking processes under impact,current PD implementations lack generally applicable rock constitutive models and impact contact models,which leads to difficulties in determining rock material parameters and efficiently calculating impact loads.This paper proposes a non-ordinary state-based peridynamics(NOSBPD)modeling method integrating the Drucker-Prager(DP)plasticity model and an efficient contact model to address the above problems.In the proposed method,the Drucker-Prager plasticity model is integrated into the NOSBPD,thereby equipping NOSBPD with the capability to accurately characterize the nonlinear stress-strain relationship inherent in rocks.An efficient contact model between particles and meshes is designed to calculate the impact loads,which is essentially a coupling method of PD with the finite element method(FEM).The effectiveness of the proposed NOSBPD modeling method is verified by comparison with other numerical methods and experiments.Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can effectively and accurately predict the 3D cracking processes of pre-cracked cracks under impact loading,and the maximum principal stress is the key driver behind wing crack formation in pre-cracked rocks.

文摘The personalized fine-tuning of large languagemodels(LLMs)on edge devices is severely constrained by limited computation resources.Although split federated learning alleviates on-device burdens,its effectiveness diminishes in few-shot reasoning scenarios due to the low data efficiency of conventional supervised fine-tuning,which leads to excessive communication overhead.To address this,we propose Language-Empowered Split Fine-Tuning(LESFT),a framework that integrates split architectures with a contrastive-inspired fine-tuning paradigm.LESFT simultaneously learns frommultiple logically equivalent but linguistically diverse reasoning chains,providing richer supervisory signals and improving data efficiency.This process-oriented training allows more effective reasoning adaptation with fewer samples.Extensive experiments demonstrate that LESFT consistently outperforms strong baselines such as SplitLoRA in task accuracy.LESFT consistently outperforms strong baselines on GSM8K,CommonsenseQA,and AQUA_RAT,with the largest gains observed on Qwen2.5-3B.These results indicate that LESFT can effectively adapt large language models for reasoning tasks under the computational and communication constraints of edge environments.

文摘Federated learning often experiences slow and unstable convergence due to edge-side data heterogeneity.This problem becomes more severe when edge participation rate is low,as the information collected from different edge devices varies significantly.As a result,communication overhead increases,which further slows down the convergence process.To address this challenge,we propose a simple yet effective federated learning framework that improves consistency among edge devices.The core idea is clusters the lookahead gradients collected from edge devices on the cloud server to obtain personalized momentum for steering local updates.In parallel,a global momentum is applied during model aggregation,enabling faster convergence while preserving personalization.This strategy enables efficient propagation of the estimated global update direction to all participating edge devices and maintains alignment in local training,without introducing extra memory or communication overhead.We conduct extensive experiments on benchmark datasets such as Cifar100 and Tiny-ImageNet.The results confirm the effectiveness of our framework.On CIFAR-100,our method reaches 55%accuracy with 37 fewer rounds and achieves a competitive final accuracy of 65.46%.Even under extreme non-IID scenarios,it delivers significant improvements in both accuracy and communication efficiency.The implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/sjmp525/CollaborativeComputing/tree/FedCCM(accessed on 20 October 2025).

文摘Although the certified power conversion efficiency(PCE)of single-junction perovskite solar cells(PSCs)has achieved a high level of 27%,approaching the single-crystalline silicon solar cells,the device stability remains an urgent issue to be resolved for the commercialization.Defect passivation emerged as a viable approach to enhance the operational stability of the solar devices.Herein,phenylthiourea(PhTu)derivatives are selected as effective passivation agents to enhance the optoelectronic properties of printed methylammonium lead iodide(MAPbI_(3))films.It is demonstrated that incorporating a small amount of 1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2-thiourea(PhTu-COOH)significantly reduces the trap-state density and leads to longer carrier lifetime of the perovskite films.As a result,the inverted solar device made of Ph Tu-COOH-modified MAPbI_(3) perovskite film shows remarkably improved efficiency(from 17.29%to 20.22%)and obviously increased open-circuit voltage(V_(OC))(from 1.043 to 1.143 V),as compared with the pristine device.Moreover,the Ph Tu-COOH-modified PSCs exhibit enhanced operational stability due to the significantly reduced trap-state density.Finally,the optimized solar module fabricated with an active area of 11.28 cm^(2) delivers a high PCE of 17.07%with negligible V_(OC)loss,demonstrating the feasibility of the blade-coating method for large-area perovskite film deposition.

文摘Coal-derived hard carbon(HC)represents a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries owing to its cost-effectiveness and high carbon yield.However,conventional carbonization induces excessive graphitization,yielding insufficient interlayer spacing(d_(002)<0.37 nm)and underdeveloped closed pores.Herein,we propose a dynamic crystallization control strategy through carbothermal shock treatment(1300°C,30 s)that decouples thermodynamic and kinetic constraints.This method precisely modulates graphite domain ordering kinetics,producing short-range ordered structures with expanded interlayer spacing(d_(002)=0.385 nm)and homogeneously distributed closed nanopores.Through combined in situ characterization and first-principles calculations,we elucidate a three-stage crystallization mechanism:(i)amorphous carbon transformation,(ii)open-pore collapse,and(iii)pseudo-graphitic ordering.The optimized HC achieves record performance with 88.6%initial Coulombic efficiency and 204 mA h g^(−1)plateau capacity,while its optimal interlayer spacing lowers Na+diffusion barriers to enable exceptional rate capability(221 mA h g^(−1)at 0.5C after 300 cycles).Practical pouch cells maintain 85%capacity retention after 100 cycles at−20°C and deliver 284 Wh kg^(−1)energy density.This work establishes a kinetic regulation paradigm for graphitization-prone precursors,advancing the rational design of high-performance HC anodes.

文摘Automated essay scoring(AES)systems have gained significant importance in educational settings,offering a scalable,efficient,and objective method for evaluating student essays.However,developing AES systems for Arabic poses distinct challenges due to the language’s complex morphology,diglossia,and the scarcity of annotated datasets.This paper presents a hybrid approach to Arabic AES by combining text-based,vector-based,and embeddingbased similarity measures to improve essay scoring accuracy while minimizing the training data required.Using a large Arabic essay dataset categorized into thematic groups,the study conducted four experiments to evaluate the impact of feature selection,data size,and model performance.Experiment 1 established a baseline using a non-machine learning approach,selecting top-N correlated features to predict essay scores.The subsequent experiments employed 5-fold cross-validation.Experiment 2 showed that combining embedding-based,text-based,and vector-based features in a Random Forest(RF)model achieved an R2 of 88.92%and an accuracy of 83.3%within a 0.5-point tolerance.Experiment 3 further refined the feature selection process,demonstrating that 19 correlated features yielded optimal results,improving R2 to 88.95%.In Experiment 4,an optimal data efficiency training approach was introduced,where training data portions increased from 5%to 50%.The study found that using just 10%of the data achieved near-peak performance,with an R2 of 85.49%,emphasizing an effective trade-off between performance and computational costs.These findings highlight the potential of the hybrid approach for developing scalable Arabic AES systems,especially in low-resource environments,addressing linguistic challenges while ensuring efficient data usage.

文摘Rapidly improving infertile croplands and enhancing their soil organic carbon(SOC)pool necessitate substantial organic materials incorporation.Converting loose crop straw into granulated form facilitates uniform incorporation within the plough soil layer.As an innovative soil amelioration approach,the efficiency and patterns of SOC accumulation remain unclear.Two field experiments were conducted in infertile subtropical upland and paddy soils with 0,30,60,and 90 Mg ha^(-1)granulated straw incorporation.After one year,SOC accumulation efficiency from straw input remained stable in upland(30.8–37.5%)with increasing amounts of straw incorporation,while declined from 60.0 to 38.3%in paddy.In both croplands,the contributions of lignin phenols to SOC increased with increasing straw incorporation,while the contributions from amino sugars remained constant at higher straw input levels.Subsequently,the ratios of lignin phenols to amino sugars increased with increasing straw incorporation,indicating faster plant residue accumulation compared to microbial necromass,as the granulation approach limited microbial involvement in straw transformation.Thus,single-time incorporation of substantial granulated straw presents an effective agricultural strategy for rapid amelioration of infertile croplands.

文摘The advent of sixth-generation(6G)networks introduces unprecedented challenges in achieving seamless connectivity,ultra-low latency,and efficient resource management in highly dynamic environments.Although fifth-generation(5G)networks transformed mobile broadband and machine-type communications at massive scales,their properties of scaling,interference management,and latency remain a limitation in dense high mobility settings.To overcome these limitations,artificial intelligence(AI)and unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)have emerged as potential solutions to develop versatile,dynamic,and energy-efficient communication systems.The study proposes an AI-based UAV architecture that utilizes cooperative reinforcement learning(CoRL)to manage an autonomous network.The UAVs collaborate by sharing local observations and real-time state exchanges to optimize user connectivity,movement directions,allocate power,and resource distribution.Unlike conventional centralized or autonomous methods,CoRL involves joint state sharing and conflict-sensitive reward shaping,which ensures fair coverage,less interference,and enhanced adaptability in a dynamic urban environment.Simulations conducted in smart city scenarios with 10 UAVs and 50 ground users demonstrate that the proposed CoRL-based UAV system increases user coverage by up to 10%,achieves convergence 40%faster,and reduces latency and energy consumption by 30%compared with centralized and decentralized baselines.Furthermore,the distributed nature of the algorithm ensures scalability and flexibility,making it well-suited for future large-scale 6G deployments.The results highlighted that AI-enabled UAV systems enhance connectivity,support ultra-reliable low-latency communications(URLLC),and improve 6G network efficiency.Future work will extend the framework with adaptive modulation,beamforming-aware positioning,and real-world testbed deployment.
文摘Curtain wall systems have evolved from aesthetic facade elements into multifunctional building envelopes that actively contribute to energy efficiency and climate responsiveness.This reviewpresents a comprehensive examination of curtain walls from an energy-engineering perspective,highlighting their structural typologies(Stick and Unitized),material configurations,and integration with smart technologies such as electrochromic glazing,parametric design algorithms,and Building Management Systems(BMS).Thestudy explores the thermal,acoustic,and solar performance of curtain walls across various climatic zones,supported by comparative analyses and iconic case studies including Apple Park,Burj Khalifa,and Milad Tower.Key challenges—including installation complexity,high maintenance costs,and climate sensitivity—are critically assessed alongside proposed solutions.A central innovation of this work lies in framing curtain walls not only as passive architectural elements but as dynamic interfaces that modulate energy flows,reduce HVAC loads,and enhance occupant comfort.The reviewed data indicate that optimized curtain wall configurations—especially those integrating electrochromic glazing and BIPV modules—can achieve annual energy consumption reductions ranging fromapproximately 5%to 27%,depending on climate,control strategy,and facade typology.The findings offer a valuable reference for architects,energy engineers,and decision-makers seeking to integrate high-performance facades into future-ready building designs.

文摘Efficient energy utilization in covert communication sustains covertness while assuring communication quality and efficiency.This paper investigates covert communication energy efficiency(EE)in direct uplink satellite-ground communications,focusing on enhancing system EE via optimized transmit beamforming and satellite orbit altitude selection.This paper first establishes an optimization problem to maximize system EE in a direct uplink satelliteground covert communication scenario.To solve this non-convex optimization problem,it is decomposed into two subproblems and solved using the successive convex approximation(SCA)method.Based on the above methods,this paper proposes an overall iterative optimization algorithm.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm surpasses the conventional baseline algorithms in terms of system EE.Furthermore,they elucidate the correlation between the amount of information received by the receiver and the variations in the satellite’s orbital altitude.

文摘Primordial germ cells(PGCs)are the stem-cell population of adult animal gametes,which develop into sperm or eggs.It can be propagated in vitro and injected into the host chicken for genome editing to obtain germline chimeric chicken.However,it has the limitation that the host embryo contains endogenous PGCs,which raises complications,resultantly donor PGCs fail to compete,and transmission efficiency reduced.Therefore,to increase the transmission efficiency,we generated a novel sterile chicken with the inducible elimination of endogenous PGCs in the host.This is the first study that applied the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase(HSV-TK)cell ablation system in avian.CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair was performed to localize the HSV-TK suicide gene to the last exon of the deleted in azoospermialike(DAZL)gene,and ganciclovir(GCV)was added to induce the apoptosis in the germ cells of the host embryo.The sterilized host embryo introduced genome-edited PGCs to produce chimeric chicken carrying exogenous germ cells only.It was observed that the germline transmission efficiency was 100%achieved,and the obtained chicks were purely from donor breeds.The technologies established in the current study have important applications in germplasm conservation and gene editing in chicken.

文摘In the quest to enhance energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact in the transportation sector,the recovery of waste heat from diesel engines has become a critical area of focus.This study provided an exhaustive thermodynamic analysis optimizing Organic Rankine Cycle(ORC)systems forwaste heat recovery fromdiesel engines.Thestudy assessed the performance of five candidateworking fluids—R11,R123,R113,R245fa,and R141b—under a range of operating conditions,specifically varying overheat temperatures and evaporation pressures.The results indicated that the choice of working fluid substantially influences the system’s exergetic efficiency,net output power,and thermal efficiency.R245fa showed an outstanding net output power of 30.39 kW at high overheat conditions,outperforming R11,which is significant for high-temperature waste heat recovery.At lower temperatures,R11 and R113 demonstrated higher exergetic efficiencies,with R11 reaching a peak exergetic efficiency of 7.4%at an evaporation pressure of 10 bar and an overheat of 10℃.The study also revealed that controlling the overheat and optimizing the evaporation pressure are crucial for enhancing the net output power of the ORC system.Specifically,at an evaporation pressure of 30 bar and an overheat of 0℃,R113 exhibited the lowest exergetic destruction of 544.5 kJ/kg,making it a suitable choice for minimizing irreversible losses.These findings are instrumental for understanding the performance of ORC systems in waste heat recovery applications and offer valuable insights for the design and operation of more efficient and environmentally friendly diesel engine systems.

文摘In order to satisfy increasingly greater demand for the performance of communication systems, a throughput efficient wireless system based on the extended binary phase shift keying （EBPSK） modulation is presented. Simultaneously, corresponding analysis of power spectra is also given with a brief process. The optimal waveform is proposed without useful information loss, by removing linear spectra presenting periodic components. On this basis, the reasonable definition of bandwidth is discussed, which indicates that the EBPSK belongs to the category of the ultra narrow band （UNB） throughput-efficient communication. Meanwhile, the modulation parameters＇ effects on bandwidth, transmission rate and transmission performance are analyzed. Results illustrate the validity of theoretical analysis and spectrum optimization. Results also prove that this UNB system can obtain good bit error rate （BER） performance with high spectra efficiency.
