文摘This study investigates the properties of high-purity starches extracted from Polygonum multiflorum(PMS)and Smilax glabra(SGS).The starches were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction,high-performance anion-exchange chromatography,and differential scanning calorimetry.Significant differences were observed in their morphological,physicochemical,and functional properties.PMS had a smaller particle size(13.68 μm),irregular polygonal shape,A-type,lower water absorption(62.67 %),and higher oil absorption(51.17 %).In contrast,SGS exhibited larger particles(31.75 μm),a nearly spherical shape,B-type,higher crystallinity(50.66 %),and greater amylose content(21.54 %),with superior thermal stability,shear resistance,and gelatinization enthalpy.SGS also contained higher resistant starch(83.28 %) and longer average chain length(20.58 %),but showed lower solubility,swelling power,light transmittance,and freeze-thaw stability.The physicochemical properties differences in crystal pattern and particle morphology between PMS and SGS lead to distinct behaviors during in vitro digestion and fermentation.These findings highlight the potential of medicinal plant starches in functional ingredients and industrial processes.
文摘Standard bacterial suspensions play a crucial role in microbiological diagnosis.Traditional prepar-ation methods,which rely heavily on manual operations,face challenges such as poor reproducibility,low ef-ficiency,and biosafety concerns.In this study,we propose a high-precision automated colony extraction and separation system that combines large-field imaging and artificial intelligence(AI)to facilitate intelligent screening and localization of colonies.Firstly,a large-field imaging system was developed to capture high-resolution images of 90 mm Petri dishes,achieving a physical resolution of 13.2μm and an imaging speed of 13 frames per second.Subsequently,AI technology was employed for the automatic recognition and localiza-tion of colonies,enabling the selection of target colonies with diameters ranging from 1.9 to 2.3 mm.Next,a three-axis motion control platform was designed,accompanied by a path planning algorithm for the efficient extraction of colonies.An electronic pipette was employed for accurate colony collection.Additionally,a bacterial suspension concentration measurement module was developed,incorporating a 650 nm laser diode as the light source,achieving a measurement accuracy of 0.01 McFarland concentration(MCF).Finally,the system’s performance was validated through the preparation of an Esckerichia coli(E.coli)suspension.After 17 hours of cultivation,E.coli was extracted four times,achieving the target concentration set by the system.This work is expected to enable rapid and accurate microbial sample preparation,significantly reducing de-tection cycles and alleviating the workload of healthcare personnel.
文摘Moringa oleifera(MO)is traditionally used to mitigate inflammatory-mediated disorders;however,the influence of ecotypic variation on its anti-inflammatory activity remains poorly understood.In this study,we compared the phytochemical composition and anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extracts obtained from fresh and dried leaves of four MO ecotypes(India,Paraguay,Mozambique,and Pakistan),all grown under the same outdoor conditions,as well as two commercial powders(Just Moringa and WISSA),using LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages.Extracts from fresh leaves were 19-43%more cytotoxic than those from dried leaves,depending on the ecotype,likely due to higher cyanogenic glycoside content.Extracts from the India and Paraguay ecotypes,characterized by high levels of quercetin derivatives and caffeic acids,as well as Just Moringa,enriched in kaempferol derivatives,significantly inhibited LPS-induced nitric oxide(NO)production(p<0.05).Just Moringa and Paraguay extracts also reduced iNOS gene expression(p<0.05 and p<0.01,respectively),whereas only the Paraguay extract decreased iNOS protein levels(p<0.05).In contrast,quercetin-3-O-glucoside and rutin showed significant effects only at concentrations approximately 100-fold higher than those present in the extracts,indicating that the phytocomplex displays greater bioactivity than individual compounds.Overall,these results demonstrate that ecotypic variation strongly affects the polyphenolic composition and anti-inflammatory properties of MO leaves,highlighting the importance of reporting both origin and phytochemical composition in MO-based products.
文摘In this study,we developed a novel bilayered scaffold consisting of a bottom layer composed of the Decellularized Bovine Pericardium(DP)coated with Polyaniline Nanoparticles(PANINPs)and a top layer made of an electrospun Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/Gelatin(PLGA/Gel)membrane incorporated with Vascular Endothelial Growth Fac-tor(VEGF)and hawthorn extract.Functionally,the DP supplies native Extracellular Matrix(ECM)components and mechanical support,while PANINPs provide conductivity.The electrospun PLGA/Gel layer mimics fibrous ECM.It incorporates bioactives,with VEGF promoting pro-angiogenic stimulation and hawthorn extract enhanc-ing anticoagulant activity,as well as increasing surface hydrophilicity.The tissue adhesive ensures the interfacial integrity between the two layers.Decellularization efficiency was confirmed histologically using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole(DAPI)and Hematoxylin-Eosin(H&E)staining.The DP exhibited a DNA content of 115.9±47.8 ng/mg DNA,compared to 982.88±395.42 ng/mg in Native Pericardium(NP).The PANINPs had an average par-ticle size of 104.94±13.7 nm.The conductivity of PANINPs-coated decellularized pericardium was measured to be 9.093±8.6×10-4 S/cm using the four-point probe method.PLGA/Gel membranes containing hawthorn extract(1%,5%,10%,and 15%w/v)and VEGF(0.1μg/mL,0.5μg/mL,and 1μg/mL)were fabricated by electrospinning,result-ing in fiber diameters between 850 and 1200 nm and pore sizes between 14 and 20μm.The anticoagulant efficiency of the membranes containing hawthorn extract reached 430 s in the Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time Assay(aPTT).Mechanical testing revealed a tensile strength of 22.70±6.33 MPa,an elongation of 53.58±10.63%,and Young's modulus of 0.67±0.10 MPa.The scaffold also exhibited over 91%cell viability and excellent cardiomyo-cyte adhesion.The hemolysis ratio was determined to be 0.421±0.191%,which confirms its blood compatibility.Our results indicate that the proposed bilayered scaffold can be a promising candidate for cardiac patch applications.

文摘The lack of macro-continuity and mechanical strength of covalent organic frameworks(COFs)has significantly limited their practical applications.Here,we propose an“alcohol-triggered defect cleavage”strategy to precisely regulate the growth and stacking of COF grains through a moderate reversed Schiff base reaction,realizing the direct synthesis of COF nanofibers(CNFs)with high aspect ratio(L/D=103.05)and long length(>20μm).An individual CNF exhibits a biomimetic scale-like architecture,achieving superior flexibility and fatigue resistance under dynamic bending via a multiscale stress dissipation mechanism.Taking advantages of these structural features,we engineer CNF aerogels(CNF-As)with programmable porous structures(e.g.,honeycomb,lamellar,isotropic)via directional ice-template methodology.CNF-As demonstrate 100%COF content,high specific surface area(396.15 m^(2)g^(-1))and superelasticity(~0%elastic deformation after 500 compression cycles at 50%strain),outperforming most COF-based counterparts.Compared with the conventional COF aerogels,the unique structural features of CNF-A enable it to perform outstandingly in uranium extraction,with an 11.72-fold increment in adsorption capacity(920.12 mg g^(-1))and adsorption rate(89.9%),and a 2.48-fold improvement in selectivity(U/V=2.31).This study provides a direct strategy for the development of next-generation COF materials with outstanding functionality and structural robustness.

文摘Seaweed extract contains plant growth regulators and bio-stimulants that enhance plant growth and development.In Bangladesh,winter rice(Boro rice)in the nursery bed often shows poor seed emergence and weak seedling growth due to low temperature.This problem can be addressed by using seaweed extract as a seed priming agent and bio-stimulant.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of seaweed extract(Crop Plus)on seed emergence,seedling growth,and vigor of winter rice in the nursery.Two experiments were conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural University using BRRI dhan89.The laboratory experiment consisted of 17 treatments combining three concentrations of Crop Plus(5000,10,000 and 15,000 ppm)and four priming durations(6,12,18,and 24 h),along with hydro-priming and a no priming as control.Seed priming with 15,000 ppm for 24 h produced the highest germination percentage and superior seedling growth traits.The nursery bed experiment comprised 11 treatments combining two doses(1 mL m^(−2)and 2 mL m^(−2))of Crop Plus and five different foliar application schedules,along with a control.All treatments outperformed the control,with the best results from Crop Plus@2 mL m^(−2)applied at 20 and 30 days after sowing(DAS).Overall,the treatment involving seed priming with 15,000 ppm seaweed extract for 24 h,followed by nursery application at 2 mL m^(−2)at 20 and 30 DAS,resulted in higher germination and improved early growth of winter rice.However,further validation across multiple locations,seasons,and rice cultivars is recommended.

文摘As an important class of phenanthroline derivatives containing soft N and hard O donor atoms,the laborious syntheses of unsymmetrical 1,10-phenanthroline-derived diamide ligands(DAPhen) have hindered its extensive study.In this work,we first report a convenient synthetic method for the construction of DAPhen using Friedländer reaction by two facile steps(vs.previous 12 steps).A variety of DAPhen ligands are readily available,especially unsymmetrical ones,which give us a platform to systematically study the substituent effect on f-block elements extraction performance.The performance of unsymmetrical extractants is experimentally confirmed to falls between that of their corresponding symmetrical extractants by extracting UO_(2)^(2+) as the representative f-block element.This work provides a direct and versatile method to synthesize symmetrical and unsymmetrical DAPhen,which paves way for the investigations on their coordination properties with metal ions and other applications.

文摘Text semantic extraction has been envisioned as a promising solution to improve the data transmission efficiency with the limited radio resources for the autonomous interactions among machines and things in the future sixth-generation(6G)wireless networks.In this paper,we propose a Chinese text semantic extraction model,namely T-Pointer,to improve the quality of semantic extraction by integrating the Transformer with the pointer-generator network.The proposed T-Pointer model consists of a semantic encoder and a semantic decoder.In the encoding stage,we use the multi-head attention mechanism of the Transformer to extract semantic features from the input Chinese text.In the decoding stage,we first use the Transformer to extract multi-level global text features.Then,we introduce the pointer-generator network model to directly copy the keyword information from the source text.The simulation results demonstrate that the T-Pointer model can improve the bilingual evaluation understudy(BLEU)and recalloriented understudy for gisting evaluation(ROUGE)by 14.69%and 14.87%on average in comparison with the state-of-the-art models,respectively.Also,we implement the T-Pointer model on a semantic communication system based on the universal software radio peripheral(USRP)platform.The result shows that the packet delay of semantic transmission can be reduced by 52.05%on average,compared to traditional information transmission.

文摘This article presents a new synergistic extraction system composed of Cyanex 272(C272,bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid)and iso-octanol for Sc_(3+) separation.The proposed synergistic system possessed an Sc^(3+) extraction efficiency of 93.5%and a back-extraction efficiency of 82.7%,with selectivity coefficients of β_(Sc/Fe)=459 and β_(Sc/Al)=4241,which are considerably higher as compared to the current extraction systems.The extraction mechanism was studied and interpreted.The enhanced extraction efficiency is attributed to the increased hydrophobicity of the ternary complex,whereas the back-extraction efficiency can be ascribed to the attenuated stability of the complex.C272 and C272–iso-octanol systems also possess considerable surface activity,which is beneficial for the phase separation in solvent extraction.Based on the solvent extraction results,a preliminary study was conducted on polymer inclusion membranes(PIMs)using the binary system for Sc^(3+) separation to avoid the formation of the third phase,achieving an optimal initial flux of PIM of 6.71×10^(−4)mol·m^(−2)·h^(−1).Our results provide valuable information on highly efficient Sc^(3+) separation,and the study on PIM extraction has shown a green alternative to solvent extraction.

文摘Deep learning has made significant progress in the field of oriented object detection for remote sensing images.However,existing methods still face challenges when dealing with difficult tasks such as multi-scale targets,complex backgrounds,and small objects in remote sensing.Maintaining model lightweight to address resource constraints in remote sensing scenarios while improving task completion for remote sensing tasks remains a research hotspot.Therefore,we propose an enhanced multi-scale feature extraction lightweight network EM-YOLO based on the YOLOv8s architecture,specifically optimized for the characteristics of large target scale variations,diverse orientations,and numerous small objects in remote sensing images.Our innovations lie in two main aspects:First,a dynamic snake convolution(DSC)is introduced into the backbone network to enhance the model’s feature extraction capability for oriented targets.Second,an innovative focusing-diffusion module is designed in the feature fusion neck to effectively integrate multi-scale feature information.Finally,we introduce Layer-Adaptive Sparsity for magnitude-based Pruning(LASP)method to perform lightweight network pruning to better complete tasks in resource-constrained scenarios.Experimental results on the lightweight platform Orin demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the original YOLOv8s model in oriented remote sensing object detection tasks,and achieves comparable or superior performance to state-of-the-art methods on three authoritative remote sensing datasets(DOTA v1.0,DOTA v1.5,and HRSC2016).

文摘Coal serves not only as a crucial energy resource but also as a significant reservoir of critical metal elements,including Lithium(Li),Gallium(Ga),Germanium(Ge),and rare earth elements(REE).This paper provides a systematic review of the enrichment characteristics,occurrence modes,and comprehensive utilization potential of these critical metals in coal.Globally,the distribution of these metal resources exhibits significant regional heterogeneity.While the concentration in most coals falls below industrial cut-off grades,anomalous enrichment in specific coal basins results in Li,Ga,Ge,and REE concentrations far exceeding global averages,highlighting their considerable potential as unconventional metal deposits.The occurrence modes of these metals are diverse:Li is primarily hosted in mineral phases;Ga exists in inorganic,organic,and complex forms;Ge shows a strong association with organic matter;and REE are mainly present in adsorbed/isomorphic forms within clay minerals,while also displaying organic affinity.Direct extraction of metals from raw coal is often cost-prohibitive;effective recovery is therefore more feasible when integrated with coal processing.Metals are further enriched in solid wastes such as coal gangue,fly ash,and bottom ash,from which recovery is more economically and technically viable.Current comprehensive utilization primarily employs integrated mineral processing-hydrometallurgy approaches.Future research should focus on elucidating the precise occurrence forms of metals in coal and solid wastes,optimizing pre-treatment methods,and selecting effective activators and leachants.Advancing the synergistic extraction and green recovery of multiple associated resources from coal and its by-products is essential for achieving high-value,comprehensive utilization of coal-based resources.
文摘Although Named Entity Recognition(NER)in cybersecurity has historically concentrated on threat intelligence,vital security data can be found in a variety of sources,such as open-source intelligence and unprocessed tool outputs.When dealing with technical language,the coexistence of structured and unstructured data poses serious issues for traditional BERT-based techniques.We introduce a three-phase approach for improved NER inmulti-source cybersecurity data that makes use of large language models(LLMs).To ensure thorough entity coverage,our method starts with an identification module that uses dynamic prompting techniques.To lessen hallucinations,the extraction module uses confidence-based self-assessment and cross-checking using regex validation.The tagging module links to knowledge bases for contextual validation and uses SecureBERT in conjunction with conditional random fields to detect entity boundaries precisely.Our framework creates efficient natural language segments by utilizing decoderbased LLMs with 10B parameters.When compared to baseline SecureBERT implementations,evaluation across four cybersecurity data sources shows notable gains,with a 9.4%–25.21%greater recall and a 6.38%–17.3%better F1-score.Our refined model matches larger models and achieves 2.6%–4.9%better F1-score for technical phrase recognition than the state-of-the-art alternatives Claude 3.5 Sonnet,Llama3-8B,and Mixtral-7B.The three-stage architecture identification-extraction-tagging pipeline tackles important cybersecurity NER issues.Through effective architectures,these developments preserve deployability while setting a new standard for entity extraction in challenging security scenarios.The findings show how specific enhancements in hybrid recognition,validation procedures,and prompt engineering raise NER performance above monolithic LLM approaches in cybersecurity applications,especially for technical entity extraction fromheterogeneous sourceswhere conventional techniques fall short.Because of itsmodular nature,the framework can be upgraded at the component level as new methods are developed.

文摘In response to the challenges in highway pavement distress detection,such as multiple defect categories,difficulties in feature extraction for different damage types,and slow identification speeds,this paper proposes an enhanced pavement crack detection model named Star-YOLO11.This improved algorithm modifies the YOLO11 architecture by substituting the original C3k2 backbone network with a Star-s50 feature extraction network.The enhanced structure adjusts the number of stacked layers in the StarBlock module to optimize detection accuracy and improve model efficiency.To enhance the accuracy of pavement crack detection and improve model efficiency,three key modifications to the YOLO11 architecture are proposed.Firstly,the original C3k2 backbone is replaced with a StarBlock-based structure,forming the Star-s50 feature extraction backbone network.This lightweight redesign reduces computational complexity while maintaining detection precision.Secondly,to address the inefficiency of the original Partial Self-attention(PSA)mechanism in capturing localized crack features,the convolutional prior-aware Channel Prior Convolutional Attention(CPCA)mechanism is integrated into the channel dimension,creating a hybrid CPC-C2PSA attention structure.Thirdly,the original neck structure is upgraded to a Star Multi-Branch Auxiliary Feature Pyramid Network(SMAFPN)based on the Multi-Branch Auxiliary Feature Pyramid Network architecture,which adaptively fuses high-level semantic and low-level spatial information through Star-s50 connections and C3k2 extraction blocks.Additionally,a composite dataset augmentation strategy combining traditional and advanced augmentation techniques is developed.This strategy is validated on a specialized pavement dataset containing five distinct crack categories for comprehensive training and evaluation.Experimental results indicate that the proposed Star-YOLO11 achieves an accuracy of 89.9%(3.5%higher than the baseline),a mean average precision(mAP)of 90.3%(+2.6%),and an F1-score of 85.8%(+0.5%),while reducing the model size by 18.8%and reaching a frame rate of 225.73 frames per second(FPS)for real-time detection.It shows potential for lightweight deployment in pavement crack detection tasks.

文摘Fault features in mechanical systems often manifest as transient impulses,which can be effectively analyzed using time-frequency analysis(TFA)methods.Recently,a new TFA technique known as the time-reassigned multi-synchrosqueezing transform(TMssT)was proposed to capture these transient impulses for fault diagnosis.However,the TMSST,which is based on the short-time Fourier transform(STFT),suffers from unclear high-frequency re-presentations owing to the fixed sliding window used in the STFT.To address this limitation,the current study combined TMSST with the S-transform and a local maximum method to enhance the time-frequency representation for improved signal analysis.Furthermore,an extractive reconstruction algorithm that binds the maximum value of the spectral envelope is proposed for spectral decomposition.To validate the proposed technique,a simulated noise-added signal and four experimental bearing defect datasets were used.The results demonstrate that the proposed technique can effectively and accurately extract fault features from bearing signals regardless of whether the bearings operate under constant or varying speed conditions.This study offers a novel and efficient approach for fault diagnosis in mechanical systems with complex dynamic behaviors.

文摘Accurate state of health(SOH)estimation is essential for the safe and reliable operation of lithium-ion batteries.However,existing methods face significant challenges,primarily because they rely on complete charge–discharge cycles and fixed-form physical constraints,which limit adaptability to different chemistries and real-world conditions.To address these issues,this study proposes an approach that extracts features from segmented state of charge(SOC)intervals and integrates them into an enhanced physics-informed neural network(PINN).Specifically,voltage data within the 25%–75%SOC range during charging are used to derive statistical,time–frequency,and mechanism-based features that capture degradation trends.A hybrid PINN-Lasso-Transformer-BiLSTM architecture is developed,where Lasso regression enables sparse feature selection,and a nonlinear empirical degradation model is embedded as a learnable physical term within a dynamically scaled composite loss.This design adaptively balances data-driven accuracy with physical consistency,thereby enhancing estimation precision,robustness,and generalization.The results show that the proposed method outperforms conventional neural networks across four battery chemistries,achieving root mean square error and mean absolute error below 1%.Notably,features from partial charging segments exhibit higher robustness than those from full cycles.Furthermore,the model maintains strong performance under high temperatures and demonstrates excellent generalization capacity in transfer learning across chemistries,temperatures,and C-rates.This work establishes a scalable and interpretable solution for accurate SOH estimation under diverse practical operating conditions.

文摘Underwater images often affect the effectiveness of underwater visual tasks due to problems such as light scattering,color distortion,and detail blurring,limiting their application performance.Existing underwater image enhancement methods,although they can improve the image quality to some extent,often lead to problems such as detail loss and edge blurring.To address these problems,we propose FENet,an efficient underwater image enhancement method.FENet first obtains three different scales of images by image downsampling and then transforms them into the frequency domain to extract the low-frequency and high-frequency spectra,respectively.Then,a distance mask and a mean mask are constructed based on the distance and magnitude mean for enhancing the high-frequency part,thus improving the image details and enhancing the effect by suppressing the noise in the low-frequency part.Affected by the light scattering of underwater images and the fact that some details are lost if they are directly reduced to the spatial domain after the frequency domain operation.For this reason,we propose a multi-stage residual feature aggregation module,which focuses on detail extraction and effectively avoids information loss caused by global enhancement.Finally,we combine the edge guidance strategy to further enhance the edge details of the image.Experimental results indicate that FENet outperforms current state-of-the-art underwater image enhancement methods in quantitative and qualitative evaluations on multiple publicly available datasets.
文摘Industrial operators need reliable communication in high-noise,safety-critical environments where speech or touch input is often impractical.Existing gesture systems either miss real-time deadlines on resourceconstrained hardware or lose accuracy under occlusion,vibration,and lighting changes.We introduce Industrial EdgeSign,a dual-path framework that combines hardware-aware neural architecture search(NAS)with large multimodalmodel(LMM)guided semantics to deliver robust,low-latency gesture recognition on edge devices.The searched model uses a truncated ResNet50 front end,a dimensional-reduction network that preserves spatiotemporal structure for tubelet-based attention,and localized Transformer layers tuned for on-device inference.To reduce reliance on gloss annotations and mitigate domain shift,we distill semantics from factory-tuned vision-language models and pre-train with masked language modeling and video-text contrastive objectives,aligning visual features with a shared text space.OnML2HP and SHREC’17,theNAS-derived architecture attains 94.7% accuracywith 86ms inference latency and about 5.9W power on Jetson Nano.Under occlusion,lighting shifts,andmotion blur,accuracy remains above 82%.For safetycritical commands,the emergency-stop gesture achieves 72 ms 99th percentile latency with 99.7% fail-safe triggering.Ablation studies confirm the contribution of the spatiotemporal tubelet extractor and text-side pre-training,and we observe gains in translation quality(BLEU-422.33).These results show that Industrial EdgeSign provides accurate,resource-aware,and safety-aligned gesture recognition suitable for deployment in smart factory settings.

文摘To ease the scarcity of lithium(Li)resource and cut down on environmental pollution,an efficient,selective,inexpensive and sustainable Li recycling process from waste batteries is needed,which is yet to be achieved.Here,we report a low-potential photoelectrochemical(PEC)system that selectively and efficiently extracts Li metals from multi-cation electrolytes under 1 sun illumination.Based on the difference of redox potential,we can get rid of the disturbance of other cations(i.e.,Fe,Co and Ni ions)by a bias-free PEC device to realize the extraction of high-purity Li metals on a coplanar Si-based photocathode-TiO_(2) photoanode tandem device at 2 V of applied bias(far less than the redox potentials of Li^(+)/Li).In such system,the extraction rate of Li metals(purity>99.5%)exceeds 1.35 g h^(-1)m^(-2)with 90%of Faradaic efficiency.Long-term experiments,different electrode/electrolyte tests,and various price assessments further demonstrate the stability,compatibility and economy of PEC extraction system,enabling a solar-driven pathway for the recycling of critical metal resources.

文摘As a key low-carbon energy source,nuclear power plays a vital role in the global transition toward sustainable energy.Photocatalytic uranium extraction from seawater(UES)offers a promising solution to ensure long-term uranium supply but is challenged by ultra-low uranium concentrations and ion interference.To overcome these issues,we design three diketopyrrolopyrrole-based covalent organic frameworks(COFs)via a synergisticπ-extended lock and carboxyl-functionalized anchor molecular engineering strategy.Among them,TPy-DPP-COF features a covalently lockedπ-conjugated structure that enhances planarity,optimizes energy alignment,and minimizes exciton binding energy,thereby promoting charge transfer and suppressing recombination.Concurrently,carboxyl groups enable uranyl-specific coordination and create local electric fields to facilitate charge separation.These features contribute to the outstanding performance of TPy-DPP-COF,which achieves a high uranium adsorption capacity of 16.33 mg g−1 in natural seawater under irradiation,with only 29.3%capacity loss after 10 cycles,surpassing industrial benchmarks.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations and experimental studies reveal a synergistic photocatalysis-adsorption pathway,with DPP units acting as active sites for uranium reduction.This work highlights a molecular design strategy for developing efficient COF-based photocatalysts for practical marine uranium recovery.
文摘Since Google introduced the concept of Knowledge Graphs(KGs)in 2012,their construction technologies have evolved into a comprehensive methodological framework encompassing knowledge acquisition,extraction,representation,modeling,fusion,computation,and storage.Within this framework,knowledge extraction,as the core component,directly determines KG quality.In military domains,traditional manual curation models face efficiency constraints due to data fragmentation,complex knowledge architectures,and confidentiality protocols.Meanwhile,crowdsourced ontology construction approaches from general domains prove non-transferable,while human-crafted ontologies struggle with generalization deficiencies.To address these challenges,this study proposes an OntologyAware LLM Methodology for Military Domain Knowledge Extraction(LLM-KE).This approach leverages the deep semantic comprehension capabilities of Large Language Models(LLMs)to simulate human experts’cognitive processes in crowdsourced ontology construction,enabling automated extraction of military textual knowledge.It concurrently enhances knowledge processing efficiency and improves KG completeness.Empirical analysis demonstrates that this method effectively resolves scalability and dynamic adaptation challenges in military KG construction,establishing a novel technological pathway for advancing military intelligence development.
