A multi-component composite sol with great uniformity and stability was first prepared by a 2-step method. The composite sol was then transformed into gel by aging under different temperatures. The gel was dried finally by super critically drying method and sintered to obtain the machinable bioactive glass-ceramics. Effect of thermal treatment on crystallization of the glass-ceramics was investigated by X-ray diffraction （ XRD ） analysis. Microstructure of the glass- ceramics was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy （SEM） and the mechanism of machinability was discussed. Phlogopite and hydroxylapatite were identified as main crystal phases by XRD analysis under thermal treatment at 750℃ and 950℃ for 1.5 h separately. The relative bulk density could achieve 99% under 1050℃ for 4 h. Microstructure of the glass-ceramics showed that the randomly distributed phlogopite and hydroxylapatite phases were favorable to the machinability of the glass-ceramics. A mean bending strength of about 160- 180 MPa and a fracture toughness parameter KIC of aboat 2.1-2.3 were determined for the glass-ceramics.展开更多

Phlogopite and hydroxylapatite were identified as main crystal phases by XRD analysis under thermal treatment at 750℃ and 950℃ for 1.5 h separately. The relative bulk density could achieve 99% under 1050℃ for 4 h. Microstructure of the glass-ceramics showed that the randomly distributed phlogopite and hydroxylapatite phases were favorable to the machinability of the glass-ceramics. A mean bending strength of about 160- 180 MPa and a fracture toughness parameter KIC of aboat 2.1-2.3 were determined for the glass-ceramics.

文摘Cyclohexene is an important raw material in the production of nylon.Selective hydrogenation of benzene is a key method for preparing cyclohexene.However,the Ru catalysts used in current industrial processes still face challenges,including high metal usage,high process costs,and low cyclohexene yield.This study utilizes existing literature data combined with machine learning methods to analyze the factors influencing benzene conversion,cyclohexene selectivity,and yield in the benzene hydrogenation to cyclohexene reaction.It constructs predictive models based on XGBoost and Random Forest algorithms.After analysis,it was found that reaction time,Ru content,and space velocity are key factors influencing cyclohexene yield,selectivity,and benzene conversion.Shapley Additive Explanations(SHAP)analysis and feature importance analysis further revealed the contribution of each variable to the reaction outcomes.Additionally,we randomly generated one million variable combinations using the Dirichlet distribution to attempt to predict high-yield catalyst formulations.This paper provides new insights into the application of machine learning in heterogeneous catalysis and offers some reference for further research.

文摘The uplift resistance of the soil overlying shield tunnels significantly impacts their anti-floating stability.However,research on uplift resistance concerning special-shaped shield tunnels is limited.This study combines numerical simulation with machine learning techniques to explore this issue.It presents a summary of special-shaped tunnel geometries and introduces a shape coefficient.Through the finite element software,Plaxis3D,the study simulates six key parameters—shape coefficient,burial depth ratio,tunnel’s longest horizontal length,internal friction angle,cohesion,and soil submerged bulk density—that impact uplift resistance across different conditions.Employing XGBoost and ANN methods,the feature importance of each parameter was analyzed based on the numerical simulation results.The findings demonstrate that a tunnel shape more closely resembling a circle leads to reduced uplift resistance in the overlying soil,whereas other parameters exhibit the contrary effects.Furthermore,the study reveals a diminishing trend in the feature importance of buried depth ratio,internal friction angle,tunnel longest horizontal length,cohesion,soil submerged bulk density,and shape coefficient in influencing uplift resistance.

文摘Gauss radial basis functions(GRBF)are frequently employed in data fitting and machine learning.Their linear independence property can theoretically guarantee the avoidance of data redundancy.In this paper,one of the main contributions is proving this property using linear algebra instead of profound knowledge.This makes it easy to read and understand this fundamental fact.The proof of linear independence of a set of Gauss functions relies on the constructing method for one-dimensional space and on the deducing method for higher dimensions.Additionally,under the condition of preserving the same moments between the original function and interpolating function,both the interpolating existence and uniqueness are proven for GRBF in one-dimensional space.The final work demonstrates the application of the GRBF method to locate lunar olivine.By combining preprocessed data using GRBF with the removing envelope curve method,a program is created to find the position of lunar olivine based on spectrum data,and the numerical experiment shows that it is an effective scheme.
文摘The capture of atmospheric carbon dioxide by adsorbents is an important strategy to deal with the greenhouse effect.Compared with traditional CO_(2) adsorption materials like activated carbon,silica gel,and zeolite molecular sieves,covalent organic frameworks(COFs)have excellent thermal and chemical stabilities and can be produced in many different forms.Using their different possible construction units,ordered structures for specific applications can be produced,giving them broad prospects in fields such as gas storage.This review analyzes the different types of COFs that have been synthesized and their different methods of CO_(2) capture.It then discusses different ways to increase CO_(2) adsorption by changing the internal structure of COFs and modifying their surfaces.The limitations of COF-derived carbon materials in CO_(2) capture are reviewed and,finally,the key role of machine learning and computational simulation in improving CO_(2) adsorption is mentioned,and the current status and future possible uses of COFs are summarized.
文摘BACKGROUND:Hemiplegia,a prevalent stroke-related condition,is often studied for motor dysfunction;however,spasticity remains under-researched.Abnormal muscle tone significantly hinders hemiplegic patients’walking recovery.OBJECTIVE:To determine whether early suspension-protected training with a personal assistant machine for stroke patients enhances walking ability and prevents muscle spasms.METHODS:Thirty-two early-stage stroke patients from Shenzhen University General Hospital and the China Rehabilitation Research Center were randomly assigned to the experimental group(n=16)and the control group(n=16).Both groups underwent 4 weeks of gait training under the suspension protection system for 30 minutes daily,5 days a week.The experimental group used the personal assistant machine during training.Three-dimensional gait analysis(using the Cortex motion capture system),Brunnstrom staging,Fugl-Meyer Assessment for lower limb motor function,Fugl-Meyer balance function,and the modified Ashworth Scale were evaluated within 1 week before the intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the 4-week intervention,all outcome measures showed significant changes in each group.The experimental group had a small but significant increase in the modified Ashworth Scale score(P<0.05,d=|0.15|),while the control group had a large significant increase(P<0.05,d=|1.48|).The experimental group demonstrated greater improvements in walking speed(16.5 to 38.44 cm/s,P<0.05,d=|4.01|),step frequency(46.44 to 64.94 steps/min,P<0.05,d=|2.32|),stride length(15.50 to 29.81 cm,P<0.05,d=|3.44|),and peak hip and knee flexion(d=|1.82|to|2.17|).After treatment,the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements than the control group in walking speed(38.44 vs.26.63 cm/s,P<0.05,d=|2.75|),stride length,peak hip and knee flexion(d=|1.31|to|1.45|),step frequency(64.94 vs.59.38 steps/min,P<0.05,d=|0.85|),and a reduced support phase(bilateral:24.31%vs.28.38%,P<0.05,d=|0.88|;non-paretic:66.19%vs.70.13%,P<0.05,d=|0.94|).For early hemiplegia,personal assistant machine-assisted gait training under the suspension protection system helps establish a correct gait pattern,prevents muscle spasms,and improves motor function.

文摘The advantages of genome selection(GS) in animal and plant breeding are self-evident.Traditional parametric models have disadvantage in better fit the increasingly large sequencing data and capture complex effects accurately.Machine learning models have demonstrated remarkable potential in addressing these challenges.In this study,we introduced the concept of mixed kernel functions to explore the performance of support vector machine regression(SVR) in GS.Six single kernel functions(SVR_L,SVR_C,SVR_G,SVR_P,SVR_S,SVR_L) and four mixed kernel functions(SVR_GS,SVR_GP,SVR_LS,SVR_LP) were used to predict genome breeding values.The prediction accuracy,mean squared error(MSE) and mean absolute error(MAE) were used as evaluation indicators to compare with two traditional parametric models(GBLUP,BayesB) and two popular machine learning models(RF,KcRR).The results indicate that in most cases,the performance of the mixed kernel function model significantly outperforms that of GBLUP,BayesB and single kernel function.For instance,for T1 in the pig dataset,the predictive accuracy of SVR_GS is improved by 10% compared to GBLUP,and by approximately 4.4 and 18.6% compared to SVR_G and SVR_S respectively.For E1 in the wheat dataset,SVR_GS achieves 13.3% higher prediction accuracy than GBLUP.Among single kernel functions,the Laplacian and Gaussian kernel functions yield similar results,with the Gaussian kernel function performing better.The mixed kernel function notably reduces the MSE and MAE when compared to all single kernel functions.Furthermore,regarding runtime,SVR_GS and SVR_GP mixed kernel functions run approximately three times faster than GBLUP in the pig dataset,with only a slight increase in runtime compared to the single kernel function model.In summary,the mixed kernel function model of SVR demonstrates speed and accuracy competitiveness,and the model such as SVR_GS has important application potential for GS.

文摘In the pharmaceutical field,machine learning can play an important role in drug development,production and treatment.Co-crystallization techniques have shown promising potential to enhance the properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients(APIs)such as solubility,permeability,and bioavailability,all without altering their chemical structure.This approach opens new avenues for developing natural products into effective drugs,especially those previously challenging in formulation.Emodin,an anthraquinone-based natural product,is a notable example due to its diverse biological activities;however,its physicochemical limitations,such as poor solubility and easy sublimation,restricted its clinical application.While various methods have improved emodin's physicochemical properties,research on its bioavailability remains limited.In our study,we summarize cocrystals and salts produced through co-crystallization technology and identify piperazine as a favorable coformer.Conflicting conclusions from computational chemistry and molecular modeling method and machine learning method regarding the formation of an emodin-piperazine cocrystal or salt led us to experimentally validate these possibilities.Ultimately,we successfully obtained the emodin-piperazine cocrystal,which were characterized and evaluated by several in vitro methods and pharmacokinetic studies.In addition,experiments have shown that emodin has a certain therapeutic effect on sepsis,so we also evaluated emodin-piperazine biological activity in a sepsis model.The results demonstrate that co-crystallization significantly enhances emodin's solubility,permeability,and bioavailability.Pharmacodynamic studies indicate that the emodin-piperazine cocrystal improves sepsis symptoms and provides protective effects against liver and kidney damage associated with sepsis.This study offers renewed hope for natural products with broad biological activities yet hindered by physicochemical limitations by advancing co-crystallization as a viable development approach.

文摘Accurate assessment of snowpack volumetric liquid water content and bulk density is essential for understanding snow hydrology,avalanche risk management,and monitoring cryosphere changes.This study presents a novel dual-parameter inversion framework that integrates synthetic electromagnetic modelling,dimensionality reduction,and machine learning algorithms to extract relative permittivity and log-resistivity from ground-penetrating radar(GPR)data.Traditional snowpack measurements are invasive,labor-intensive,and limited to point observations.To overcome these limitations,we developed a non-invasive,scalable,and data-driven framework that uses synthetic GPR datasets representing diverse snowpack conditions with variable moisture and density profiles.Synthetic 1D time series reflections(A-scans)are generated using finite-difference time-domain simulations in the state-of-the-art electromagnetic simulator gprMax.Principal component analysis(PCA)is applied to compress each A-scan while preserving key features,which significantly improved and enhanced the model training efficiency.Four machine learning models,including random forest,neural network,support vector machine,and eXtreme gradient boosting,are trained on PCA-reduced features.Among these,the neural network model achieved the best performance,with R^(2)>0.97 for permittivity and R 2>0.92 for resistivity.Gaussian noise(signal-to-noise ratio of 6 dB)is introduced to the synthetic data,and then targeted domain adaptation is employed to enhance generalization to field data.The framework is validated on two contrasting GPR transects in the Altay Mountains of the Chinese mainland,representing moist(T750)and wet(G125)snowpack conditions.The neural network model predictions are most consistent with the GPR derived estimates,Snowfork measurements,and snow pit data,achieving volumetric liquid water content deviation of≤1.5% and bulk density error within the range of 30-84 kg m^(-3).The results demonstrate that machine learning-based inversion,supported by realistic simulations and data augmentation enables scalable,non-invasive snowpack characterization with significant applications in hydrological forecasting,snow monitoring,and water resource management.

文摘Nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)is a malignant tumor prevalent in southern China and Southeast Asia,where its early detection is crucial for improving patient prognosis and reducing mortality rates.However,existing screening methods suffer from limitations in accuracy and accessibility,hindering their application in large-scale population screening.In this work,a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)-based method was established to explore the profiles of different stratified components in saliva from NPC and healthy subjects after fractionation processing.The study findings indicate that all fractionated samples exhibit diseaseassociated molecular signaling differences,where small-molecule(molecular weight cut-offvalue is 10 kDa)demonstrating superior classification capabilities with sensitivity of 90.5%and speci-ficity of 75.6%,area under receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of 0:925±0:031.The primary objective of this study was to qualitatively explore patterns in saliva composition across groups.The proposed SERS detection strategy for fractionated saliva offers novel insights for enhancing the sensitivity and reliability of noninvasive NPC screening,laying the foundation for translational application in large-scale clinical settings.

文摘Accurate land surface temperature(LST)assessment is crucial for comprehending and reducing the impacts of climate change and understanding land use evolution.This study presents an innovative method by utilizing ensemble models,advanced correlation analysis,and trend analysis to investigate its environmental influences.Google Earth Engine(GEE)was utilized to process the datasets from Landsat-7 and Landsat-8 for the five big cities of Punjab,Pakistan,from 2001 to 2023.Results from this study show significant urban warming trends,and a strong correlation between environmental variables and LST was identified.The ensemble-based three machine learning models,including XGBoost,AdaBoost,and random forest(RF),were adopted to improve the accuracy of LST evaluation.Although XGBoost and AdaBoost attained modest levels of accuracy,with R^(2) values of 0.767 and 0.706,respectively,the RF model outperformed them by achieving an exceptional R^(2) of 0.796 and RMSE of 0.476.Moreover,Pearson correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between LST and normalized difference latent heat index(NDLI)with r=-0.67,normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)with r=-0.6,and modified normalized difference water index(MNDWI)with the value of r as -0.57.In addition,wavelet analysis showed that vegetation and water offer long-term LST cooling,lasting up to 64 months,while built-up areas and bare soil contribute to short-term warming,lasting 4 to 8 months.Latent heat indicated variable cooling periods,surpassing 60 months in cities.These findings enhance the understanding of LST changes and the impact of climate change on the environment.
