In this work, an inner doping strategy is explored by filling CNTs with one-dimensional(1D)-TM_(6)Te_(6) nanowires to form TM_(6)Te_(6)@CNT-(16,0) 1D van der Waals heterostructures(1D-vd WHs). The systematic first-principles studies on the electronic properties of 1D-vd WHs show that N-type doping CNTs can be formed by charge transfer from TM_(6)Te_(6) nanowires to CNTs, without introducing additional carrier scattering.Particularly, contribution from both T M(e.g., Sc and Y) and Te atoms strengthens the charge transfer. The outside CNTs further confine the dispersion of Te-p orbitals in nanowires that deforms the C-π states at the bottom of the conduction band to quasi sp^(3) hybridization. Our study provides an inner doping strategy that can effectively confine the charge polarity of CNTs and further broaden its applications in some novel nano-devices.展开更多

文摘Controlling charge polarity in the semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes(CNTs) by substitutional doping is a difficult work due to their extremely strong C–C bonding. In this work, an inner doping strategy is explored by filling CNTs with one-dimensional(1D)-TM_(6)Te_(6) nanowires to form TM_(6)Te_(6)@CNT-(16,0) 1D van der Waals heterostructures(1D-vd WHs). The systematic first-principles studies on the electronic properties of 1D-vd WHs show that N-type doping CNTs can be formed by charge transfer from TM_(6)Te_(6) nanowires to CNTs, without introducing additional carrier scattering.Particularly, contribution from both T M(e.g., Sc and Y) and Te atoms strengthens the charge transfer. The outside CNTs further confine the dispersion of Te-p orbitals in nanowires that deforms the C-π states at the bottom of the conduction band to quasi sp^(3) hybridization. Our study provides an inner doping strategy that can effectively confine the charge polarity of CNTs and further broaden its applications in some novel nano-devices.

文摘The cure rate for chronic neurodegenerative diseases remains low,creating an urgent need for improved intervention methods.Recent studies have shown that enhancing mitochondrial function can mitigate the effects of these diseases.This paper comprehensively reviews the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic neurodegenerative diseases,aiming to uncover the potential use of targeted mitochondrial interventions as viable therapeutic options.We detail five targeted mitochondrial intervention strategies for chronic neurodegenerative diseases that act by promoting mitophagy,inhibiting mitochondrial fission,enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis,applying mitochondria-targeting antioxidants,and transplanting mitochondria.Each method has unique advantages and potential limitations,making them suitable for various therapeutic situations.Therapies that promote mitophagy or inhibit mitochondrial fission could be particularly effective in slowing disease progression,especially in the early stages.In contrast,those that enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and apply mitochondria-targeting antioxidants may offer great benefits during the middle stages of the disease by improving cellular antioxidant capacity and energy metabolism.Mitochondrial transplantation,while still experimental,holds great promise for restoring the function of damaged cells.Future research should focus on exploring the mechanisms and effects of these intervention strategies,particularly regarding their safety and efficacy in clinical settings.Additionally,the development of innovative mitochondria-targeting approaches,such as gene editing and nanotechnology,may provide new solutions for treating chronic neurodegenerative diseases.Implementing combined therapeutic strategies that integrate multiple intervention methods could also enhance treatment outcomes.

文摘This paper solves the problem of model-free dual-arm space robot maneuvering after non-cooperative target capture under high control quality requirements.The explicit system model is unavailable,and the maneuvering mission is disturbed by the measurement noise and the target adversarial behavior.To address these problems,a model-free Combined Adaptive-length Datadriven Predictive Controller(CADPC)is proposed.It consists of a separated subsystem identification method and a combined predictive control strategy.The subsystem identification method is composed of an adaptive data length,thereby reducing sensitivity to undetermined measurement noises and disturbances.Based on the subsystem identification,the combined predictive controller is established,reducing calculating resource.The stability of the CADPC is rigorously proven using the Input-to-State Stable(ISS)theorem and the small-gain theorem.Simulations demonstrate that CADPC effectively handles the model-free space robot post operation in the presence of significant disturbances,state measurement noise,and control input errors.It achieves improved steady-state accuracy,reduced steady-state control consumption,and minimized control input chattering.

文摘In this paper,the mechanical response of a one-dimensional(1D)hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystal(PQC)thin film is analyzed under electric and temperature loads.Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory,a theoretical model is proposed,resulting in coupled governing integral equations that account for interfacial normal and shear stresses.To numerically solve these integral equations,an expansion method using orthogonal Chebyshev polynomials is employed.The results provide insights into the interfacial stresses,axial force,as well as axial and vertical deformations of the PQC film.Additionally,fracture criteria,including stress intensity factors,mode angles,and the J-integral,are evaluated.The solution is compared with the membrane theory,neglecting the normal stress and bending deformation.Finally,the effects of stiffness and aspect ratio on the PQC film are thoroughly discussed.This study serves as a valuable guide for controlling the mechanical response and conducting safety assessments of PQC film systems.

文摘Measuring cross sections of nuclear reactions,such as the so-called“Holy Grail”reaction,^(12)C(σ,γ)^(16)O,is essential for understanding stellar nucleosynthesis but presents significant challenges due to extremely low cross sections.Key challenges include significant energy loss as ions penetrate the target material,limiting measurements to thin target layers.To overcome these obstacles,we propose a novel method,the in-target energy loss compensating(eLOC)method,specifically designed for gas targets,which utilizes a gas-filled magnetic field and accelerating electric fields to compensate for ion energy loss in the target.Simulations show that this approach significantly enhances the effective target thickness by over 140 times in the case of the“Holy Grail”reaction with an inverse-kinematics setup.This eLOC method may provide a powerful new tool for obtaining critical data in nuclear astrophysics,thereby advancing our understanding of stellar nucleosynthesis and the origins of elements in the universe,as well as benefiting other related fields such as isotope production.

文摘Considering the impact of terminal impact time constraints and the state information of maneuvering targets on the guidance accuracy in multi-UAV cooperative guidance,this paper proposes an impact time cooperative control guidance law(ITCCG)that combines the optimal error dynamics with an improved adaptive cubature Kalman filter(IACKF)algorithm.First,a terminal impact time feedback term is introduced into proportional navigation guidance based on the relative virtual guidance model,and terminal time control is achieved through optimal error dynamics.Then,the Huber loss function is used to reduce the impact of measurement outliers,and the diagonal decomposition is applied to address the issue of non-positive definite matrices that cannot undergo Cholesky decomposition.Finally,the ITCCG and IACKF algorithms combined achieve multi-UAV time-cooperated guidance based on maneuvering target state estimation.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the target state estimation error and achieves cooperative guidance within the desired time frame.
文摘The prolonged and intricate history of oncological treatments has transitioned significantly since the introduction of chemotherapy.Substantial therapeutic benefits in cancer therapy have been achieved by the integration of conventional treatments with molecular biosciences and omics technologies.Human epidermal growth factor receptor,hormone receptors,and angiogenesis factors are among the established therapies in tumor reduction and managing side effects.Novel targeted therapies like KRAS G12C,Claudin-18 isoform 2(CLDN18.2),Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2(TROP2),and epigenetic regulators emphasize their promise in advancing precision medicine.However,in many cases,the resistance mechanisms associated with these interventions render them ineffective in carrying out their functions.The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of both established and emerging drug targets and mechanisms of treatment resistance in oncology.This review seeks to elucidate recent advancements,address persisting challenges,and explore opportunities for innovative developments in cancer target research.Additionally,it explores the growing role of artificial intelligence in reshaping cancer drug discovery and development frameworks as potential avenues for future research.In conclusion,innovative approaches in oncology,supported by pharmacological research,ongoing clinical trials,molecular biosciences,and artificial intelligence,are poised to significantly transform cancer treatment.

文摘In this paper,we investigate the interfacial behavior of a thin,penny-shaped,one-dimensional(1D)hexagonal functionally graded(FG)piezoelectric quasicrystal(PQC)film bonded on a temperature-dependent elastic substrate under thermal and electrical loads.The problem is modeled as axisymmetric based on the membrane theory,with the peeling stress and bending moment being disregarded.A potential theory method,combined with the Hankel transform technique,is utilized to derive the displacement field on the substrate surface.With perfect interfacial bonding assumption,an integral equation governing the phonon interfacial shear stress is formulated and numerically solved by the Chebyshev polynomials.Explicit expressions are derived for the interfacial shear stress,the internal stresses within the PQC film and the substrate,the axial strain,and the stress intensity factors(SIFs).Numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the effects of the film's aspect ratio,material inhomogeneity,material mismatch,and temperature-dependent material properties on its mechanical response.The results provide insights for the functional design and reliability assessment of FG PQC film/substrate systems.

文摘Naphthalene,anthracene and pyridone endoperoxides are known to thermally release singlet oxygen.However,in the cycloreversion reaction,singlet oxygen is produced stoichiometrically;therefore,multiple singlet oxygen releasing modules are expected to be very useful in inducing apoptosis of cancer cells.Herein,we present a potential therapeutic agent presenting three-pyridone endoperoxide modules and a mitochondria targeting group.Compared to previously reported pyridone-based monofunctional endoperoxides,the triple endoperoxide is highly effective as evidenced by assays and fluorescence microscopy.
文摘In recent years,proteolysis-targeting chimeras(PROTACs)have gained widespread attention as an emerging therapeutic approach.PROTACs are bifunctional molecules composed of a target protein-binding ligand,an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand,and a linker connecting these ligands.By harnessing the cell’s intrinsic ubiquitin-proteasome system(UPS),they promote the ubiquitination of specific target proteins,leading to their degradation and therapeutic effects.PROTACs show exceptional promise in targeting conventional“undruggable”targets compared to traditional small-molecule inhibitors.This review provides an overview of PROTACs,including their molecular mechanism of action,therapeutic benefits,development history,key design aspects,current research and development challenges,and future trends in nextgeneration PROTAC technology.

文摘Background:Stomach cancer(SC)is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide due to late-stage diagnosis and limited treatment.The transcriptomic,epigenomic,and proteomic,etc.,omics datasets generated by high-throughput sequencing technology have become prominent in biomedical research,and they reveal molecular aspects of cancer diagnosis and therapy.Despite the development of advanced sequencing technology,the presence of high-dimensionality in multi-omics data makes it challenging to interpret the data.Methods:In this study,we introduce RankXLAN,an explainable ensemble-based multi-omics framework that integrates feature selection(FS),ensemble learning,bioinformatics,and in-silico validation for robust biomarker detection,potential therapeutic drug-repurposing candidates’identification,and classification of SC.To enhance the interpretability of the model,we incorporated explainable artificial intelligence(SHapley Additive exPlanations analysis),as well as accuracy,precision,F1-score,recall,cross-validation,specificity,likelihood ratio(LR)+,LR−,and Youden index results.Results:The experimental results showed that the top four FS algorithms achieved improved results when applied to the ensemble learning classification model.The proposed ensemble model produced an area under the curve(AUC)score of 0.994 for gene expression,0.97 for methylation,and 0.96 for miRNA expression data.Through the integration of bioinformatics and ML approach of the transcriptomic and epigenomic multi-omics dataset,we identified potential marker genes,namely,UBE2D2,HPCAL4,IGHA1,DPT,and FN3K.In-silico molecular docking revealed a strong binding affinity between ANKRD13C and the FDA-approved drug Everolimus(binding affinity−10.1 kcal/mol),identifying ANKRD13C as a potential therapeutic drug-repurposing target for SC.Conclusion:The proposed framework RankXLAN outperforms other existing frameworks for serum biomarker identification,therapeutic target identification,and SC classification with multi-omics datasets.

文摘Targeted protein degradation(TPD)is an innovative strategy for selectively eliminating pathogenic proteins,enabling precise degradation of once-undruggable targets in cancer therapy.However,current TPD molecules are often limited by poor tumor targeting and the need for high doses.To overcome these limitations,assembly/disassembly-based TPD systems have been proposed to effectively degrade proteins of interest and enhance therapeutic efficacy.Herein,we summarize the recent advances in such TPD systems and categorize the strategies employed,including nanosphere morphology of assembled TPD systems,nanofiber morphology of assembled TPD systems,carrier-mediated TPD release systems,and stimulus-induced free TPD molecule formation nanosystems.Finally,we outline future directions and identify the remaining challenges in assembly/disassembly-based TPD systems.
