This study investigated the effects of phase boundary engineering and domain engineering on (1-x)[0.8Pb(Zr_(0.5)Ti_(0.5))O_(3)-0.2Pb(Zn_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3)]-xBi(Zn_(0.5)Ti_(0.5))O_(3) ((1-x)(0.8PZT-0.2PZN)- xBZT) ceramic to obtain excellent piezoelectric properties. The crystal phase structure and microstructure of ceramic samples were characterized. The results showed that all samples had a pure perovskite structure, and the addition of BZT gradually increased the grain size. The addition of BZT caused a phase transition in ceramic samples from the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) towards the tetragonal phase region, which is crucial for optimizing piezoelectric properties. By adjusting content of BZT and precisely controlling position of the phase boundary, the piezoelectric performance can be optimized. Domain structure is one of the key factors affecting piezoelectric performance. By using domain engineering techniques to optimize grain size and domain size, piezoelectric properties of ceramic samples have been significantly improved. Specifically, excellent piezoelectric properties (piezoelectric constant d_(33)=320 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor kp=0.44) were obtained simultaneously for x=0.08. Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, influence mechanisms of phase boundary engineering and domain engineering on piezoelectric properties were explored. The study shows that addition of BZT not only promotes grain growth, but also optimizes the domain structure, enabling the polarization reversal process easier, thereby improving piezoelectric properties. These research results not only provide new ideas for the design of high-performance piezoelectric ceramics, but also lay a theoretical foundation for development of related electronic devices.展开更多

文摘The functional and structural integrity of the blood-brain barrier is crucial in maintaining homeostasis in the brain microenvironment;however,the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation and function of the blood-brain barrier remain poorly understood.The major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A has been identified as a key regulator of blood-brain barrier function.It plays a critical role in promoting and maintaining the formation and functional stability of the blood-brain barrier,in addition to the transport of lipids,such as docosahexaenoic acid,across the blood-brain barrier.Furthermore,an increasing number of studies have suggested that major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A is involved in the molecular mechanisms of blood-brain barrier dysfunction in a variety of neurological diseases;however,little is known regarding the mechanisms by which major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A affects the blood-brain barrier.This paper provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the close relationship between major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A proteins and the blood-brain barrier,including their basic structures and functions,cross-linking between major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A and the blood-brain barrier,and the in-depth studies on lipid transport and the regulation of blood-brain barrier permeability.This comprehensive systematic review contributes to an in-depth understanding of the important role of major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A proteins in maintaining the structure and function of the blood-brain barrier and the research progress to date.This will not only help to elucidate the pathogenesis of neurological diseases,improve the accuracy of laboratory diagnosis,and optimize clinical treatment strategies,but it may also play an important role in prognostic monitoring.In addition,the effects of major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A on blood-brain barrier leakage in various diseases and the research progress on cross-blood-brain barrier drug delivery are summarized.This review may contribute to the development of new approaches for the treatment of neurological diseases.

文摘Domain Generation Algorithms(DGAs)continue to pose a significant threat inmodernmalware infrastructures by enabling resilient and evasive communication with Command and Control(C&C)servers.Traditional detection methods-rooted in statistical heuristics,feature engineering,and shallow machine learning-struggle to adapt to the increasing sophistication,linguistic mimicry,and adversarial variability of DGA variants.The emergence of Large Language Models(LLMs)marks a transformative shift in this landscape.Leveraging deep contextual understanding,semantic generalization,and few-shot learning capabilities,LLMs such as BERT,GPT,and T5 have shown promising results in detecting both character-based and dictionary-based DGAs,including previously unseen(zeroday)variants.This paper provides a comprehensive and critical review of LLM-driven DGA detection,introducing a structured taxonomy of LLM architectures,evaluating the linguistic and behavioral properties of benchmark datasets,and comparing recent detection frameworks across accuracy,latency,robustness,and multilingual performance.We also highlight key limitations,including challenges in adversarial resilience,model interpretability,deployment scalability,and privacy risks.To address these gaps,we present a forward-looking research roadmap encompassing adversarial training,model compression,cross-lingual benchmarking,and real-time integration with SIEM/SOAR platforms.This survey aims to serve as a foundational resource for advancing the development of scalable,explainable,and operationally viable LLM-based DGA detection systems.

文摘The partitioning of membrane proteins into lipid domains in cellular membranes is closely associated with the realization of the protein functions and it is influenced by various factors such as the post-translational modification of palmitoylation.However,the molecular mechanism of the effect of palmitoylation on membrane protein partitioning into the lipid domains remains elusive.In this work,taking human peripheral myelin protein 22(PMP22)as an example,we employ coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the partitioning of both the natural PMP22 and the palmitoylated PMP22(pal-PMP22)into the lipid domains of model myelin membranes.The results indicate that palmitoylation drives PMP22 to localize at the boundary of the liquid-ordered(Lo)and liquid-disordered(Ld)domains and increases the possibility of PMP22 partitioning into the Lo domains by changing the hydrophobic length of the proteins and perturbing the ordered packing of tails of the saturated lipids in the Lo domains.This work offers some novel insights into the role of palmitoylation in modulating the function of membrane proteins in cellular membranes.
文摘The rapid development of the industrial internet of things(IIoT)has brought huge benefits to factories equipped with IIoT technology,each of which represents an IIoT domain.More and more domains are choosing to cooperate with each other to produce better products for greater profits.Therefore,in order to protect the security and privacy of IIoT devices in cross-domain communication,lots of cross-domain authentication schemes have been proposed.However,most schemes expose the domain to which the IIoT device belongs,or introduce a single point of failure in multi-domain cooperation,thus introducing unpredictable risks to each domain.We propose a more secure and efficient domain-level anonymous cross-domain authentication(DLCA)scheme based on alliance blockchain.The proposed scheme uses group signatures with decentralized tracing technology to provide domain-level anonymity to each IIoT device and allow the public to trace the real identity of the malicious pseudonym.In addition,DLCA takes into account the limited resource characteristics of IIoT devices to design an efficient cross-domain authentication protocol.Security analysis and performance evaluation show that the proposed scheme can be effectively used in the cross-domain authentication scenario of industrial internet of things.
文摘In recent years,the heterogeneous SAR image classification task of"training on simulated data and testing on measured data"has garnered increasing attention in the field of Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition(SAR-ATR).Although current mainstream domain adaptation methods have made significant breakthroughs in addressing domain shift problems,the escalating model complexity and task complexity have constrained their deployment in real-world applications.To tackle this challenge,this paper proposes a domain adaptation framework based on linear-kernel Maximum Mean Discrepancy(MMD),integrated with a near-zero-cost pseudo-label denoising technique leveraging deep feature clustering.Our method completely eliminates the need for data augmentation and handcrafted feature design,achieving endto-end pseudo-label self-training.Competitive performance is demonstrated across three typical scenarios in the SAMPLE dataset,with the highest accuracy of 98.65%achieved in ScenarioⅢ.The relevant code is available at:https://github.com/TheGreatTreatsby/SAMPLE_MMD.

文摘The enhancement of coercivity in Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets modified by Pr_(58)Dy_(10)Cu_(32)alloy was investigated through scanning electron microscope(SEM)and in-situ magneto-optic Kerr effect(MOKE)microscopy.The modification treatment resulted in the formation of a smooth and continuous weakly magnetic grain boundary layer and the(Nd,Pr,Dy)_(2)Fe_(14)B main phase with a high magnetocrystalline anisotropy field,leading to an increased coercivity of 23 kOe.MOKE observations revealed that the dynamic evolution of the maze domain area under an external magnetic field varied significantly between the original and modified magnets.Compared with the original magnets,the modified magnets exhibited a slower decrease in maze domain area during magnetization and a slower increase during reverse magnetization,contributing to the observed coercivity enhancement.

文摘Sea-surface wind is a vital meteorological element in marine activities and climate research.This study proposed the spectral attention enhanced multidimensional feature fusion convolutional long short-term memory(LSTM)network(SAMFF-Conv-LSTM),a novel approach for sea-surface wind-speed prediction that emphasizes the temporal characteristics of data samples.The model incorporates the Fourier transform to extract time-and frequency-domain features from wave and wind variables.For the 12 h prediction,the SAMFF-ConvLSTM achieved a correlation coefficient of 0.960 and a root mean square error(RMSE)of 1.350 m/s,implying a high prediction accuracy.For the 24 h prediction,the RMSE of the SAMFF-ConvLSTM was reduced by 38.11%,14.26%,and 13.36%compared with those of the convolutional neural network,gated recurrent units,and convolutional LSTM(ConvLSTM),respectively.These results confirm the superior reliability and accuracy of the SAMFF-ConvLSTM over traditional models in theoretical and practical applications.

文摘Magnon frequency combs have garnered significant attention due to their wide-ranging potential applications,primarily generated by the interplay between spin waves and oscillating magnetic textures.Developing an easily achievable magnon frequency comb with directly tunable comb spacing is pivotal for broadening its utility.In this study,we engineered a Bloch-type magnetic domain wall with a stable structure and fixed position by employing a dual-pinning approach utilizing artificial structural defects and stray fields.We established a magnetic domain wall oscillation mode based on resonant Larmor precession,serving as the foundation for a magnon frequency comb derived from magnetic domain walls.By leveraging the locally distributed Oersted field generated by an alternating current,we achieved precise control over the oscillation frequency of the domain wall,thereby realizing a magnon frequency comb with directly tunable comb spacing.The insights from this research offer a promising shortcut for exploring frequency combs based on the interaction between spin waves and magnetic domain walls.

文摘We investigate the inertial domain wall(DW)dynamics driven by spin-polarized current in ferromagnets.The exact solutions reveal an upper limit for DW velocity,given by V≤1/√ατ.This indicates that damping and inertia become the key factors in achieving higher DW speeds.For the case of uniaxial anisotropy,we analyze the effects of inertia and current on DW dynamics.Due to inertia,the DW velocity,width,rotation frequency,and wave number are mutually coupled.When the DW width varies slightly,the velocity decreases rapidly while the magnetization precession frequency increases sharply with the inertia term.However,once the rotation frequency exceeds its maximum value,both the DW velocity and rotation frequency gradually decline.Regarding current-driven dynamics,we identify a critical current j1cthat directly triggers the Walker breakdown.For currents below this threshold j_(1)<j_(1c),the absolute DW velocity increases with current,whereas it decreases for j_(1)>j_(1c).During this process,the DW velocity rapidly peaks under current drive,accompanied by the magnetization rotation frequency nearing its maximum and minimal variation in DW width.These results suggest that the DW behaves like a classical rigid body,reaching its maximum velocity as it approaches peak rotational speed.For biaxial anisotropy,we derive analytical solutions.The competition between hard-axis anisotropy and inertia causes the DW magnetization to lose its spiral structure and rotational symmetry.The inertia effect leads to a slow initial decrease followed by a rapid increase in DW width,whereas current modulation gradually widens the DW.The analytical solution also reveals another critical current,j_(1 max)=√(α/τ)/β,which scales with the square root of the inertia-to-damping ratio and is inversely proportional to the nonadiabatic spin-transfer torque parameterβ.
