Our findings indicate that the pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations should contain some new physical information, and are not a simple result of the pseudorapidity distribution of final particles. The AMPT results with and without hadronic scattering are compared. It is found that hadron scattering can only increase the short-range correlations to some level, but is not responsible for the different correlation shapes for different energies. Further study shows that the different pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations are mainly due to partonic evolution and the following hadronization scheme.展开更多

At MF3E, moderate variability was observed in apparent electrical conductivity shallow (ECas), slope, and ECa ratio measurements, with coefficients of variation ranging from 20% to 27%. In contrast, MF11S exhibited higher variability, particularly in ECas and ECad (deep) measurements, which exceeded 30% in their coefficient of variation values, indicating significant differences in soil composition and moisture content. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between the near-infrared-to-red ratio and red reflectance (r = 0.897***) soil values at MF3E. MF11S demonstrated a strong negative correlation between ECas and ECad readings with the x-coordinate (r ***). Scatter plots and fitted models illustrated the complexity of relationships, with many showing nonlinear trends. These findings emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and advanced modeling to understand the dynamic nature of soil properties and their implications for agricultural practices. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms driving variability in the soil characteristics to enhance soil management strategies at the study sites.展开更多

Subsequently, reconstruction algorithms restore image sequences of dynamic scenes, offering advantages such as reduced bandwidth and storage space requirements. The temporal correlation in video data is crucial for Video SCI, as it leverages the temporal relationships among frames to enhance the efficiency and quality of reconstruction algorithms, particularly for fast-moving objects.This paper discretizes video frames to create image datasets with the same data volume but differing temporal correlations. We utilized the state-of-the-art(SOTA) reconstruction framework, EfficientSCI++, to train various compressed reconstruction models with these differing temporal correlations. Evaluating the reconstruction results from these models, our simulation experiments confirm that a reduction in temporal correlation leads to decreased reconstruction accuracy. Additionally, we simulated the reconstruction outcomes of datasets devoid of temporal correlation, illustrating that models trained on non-temporal data affect the temporal feature extraction capabilities of transformers, resulting in negligible impacts on the evaluation of reconstruction results for non-temporal correlation test datasets.展开更多

We investigate quanto options with multiple underlying assets valued in different foreign currencies each with a different strike price in the payoff function. We carry out a comparative performance analysis of different stochastic volatility (SV), stochastic correlation (SC), and stochastic exchange rate (SER) models to determine the best combination of these models for Monte Carlo (MC) simulation pricing. In addition, we test the performance of all model variants with constant correlation as a benchmark. We find that a combination of GARCH-Jump SV, Weibull SC, and Ornstein Uhlenbeck (OU) SER performs best. In addition, we analyze different discretization schemes and their results. In our simulations, the Milstein scheme yields the best balance between execution times and lower standard deviations of price estimates. Furthermore, we find that incorporating mean reversion into stochastic correlation and stochastic FX rate modeling is beneficial for MC simulation pricing. We improve the accuracy of our simulations by implementing antithetic variates variance reduction. Finally, we derive the correlation risk parameters Cora and Gora in our framework so that correlation hedging of quanto options can be performed.展开更多

The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.展开更多

During ART most patients undergo ovarian stimulation. In this study we study the correlation between ovarian reserve markers: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC), and the response to ovarian stimulation at in vitro fertilization (IVF) centres in Douala Cameroon. Methods: This was a hospital based cross-sectional sectional analytic study carried out over a period of 3 years, 4 months at Clinique de l’Aéroport, Clinique Odyssée and Clinique Urogyn. Inclusion criteria were: Female partners of infertile couples undergoing ovarian stimulation for an in vitro fertilization cycle, patients who had both ovaries and had done either AMH, AFC or both before ovarian stimulation. Patients were divided into three groups based on the number of oocytes retrieved: low ovarian response for ≤3 oocytes, normal ovarian response for 4 - 15 oocytes and high ovarian response for >15 oocytes. Data obtained was analyzed by SPSS version 25.0. Results: The ages of participants ranged from 20 - 4 7 years, with a mean age of 34.11 ± 5.11 years. Most of them had secondary infertility (57.9%). The GnRH antagonist protocol was mainly used, and ovulation was triggered using HCG predominantly. On Multivariate analysis, age and history of PCOS were significantly associated with ovarian response in the low and high ovarian response groups, respectively. Conclusion: AMH has a better predictive value than AFC, however, it is less sensitive but more specific than AFC.展开更多

文摘As a widely used measurement technique in rock mechanics,spatial correlation modeling of acoustic emission(AE)scattering signals is attracting increasing focus for describing mechanical behavior quantitatively.Unlike the statistical description of the spatial distribution of randomly generated AE signals,spatial correlation modeling is based mainly on short-range correlation considering the interrelationship of adjacent signals.As a new idea from percolation models,the covering strategy is used to build the most representative cube cluster,which corresponds to the critical scale at peak stress.Its modeling process of critical cube cluster depends strongly on the full connection of the main fracture network,and the corresponding cube for coverage is termed the critical cube.The criticality pertains to not only the transition of local-to-whole connection of the fracture network but also the increasing-to-decreasing transition of the deviatoric stress with an obvious stress drop in the brittle failure of granite.Determining a reasonable critical cube guarantees the best observation scale for investigating the failure process.Besides,the topological connection induces the geometric criticality of three descriptors,namely anisotropy,pore fraction,and specific surface area,which are evaluated separately and effectively.The results show that cluster modeling based on the critical cube is effective and has criticality in both topology and geometry,as well as the triaxial behavior.Furthermore,the critical cube length presents a high confidence probability of being correlated to the mineral particle size.Besides,its pore fraction of cube cluster is influenced strongly by the critical cube length and confining pressure.

文摘The effects of nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations leading to the high-momentum tail(HMT)in the nucleon momentum distribution are studied using the iso spin-and momentum-dependent Lanzhou quantum molecular dynamics(LQMD)transport model.Based on the transport model,we study the effects of the HMT of the nucleon momentum distribution on initialization in isotopic nuclear reactions at a beam energy of 120 MeV/u.The single and double ratios of gas-phase neutron and proton spectra are analyzed and compared with experimental data in central ^(112)Sn+^(112)Sn and^(124)Sn+^(124)Sn collisions.The HMT affects the single ratios but not the double ratios,which can be employed to study other iso spin effects more effectively.The ratio of triton to 3 He of light clusters contained in the gas-phase nucleons is also influenced by the HMT.Combining the QMD transport model that can describe multifragmentation and the production of fragments in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions,we study the short-range correlation effect on fragment generation.We find that the iso spin-dependent HMT significantly affects the fragment multiplicity distribution and average neutron-to-proton ratio of produced isobars.

文摘In recent years,neutrino-nucleus scattering has been extensively researched to investigate nuclear structures and interactions between neutrinos and nucleons.In this study,a charged-current quasielastic(CCQE)neutrino-nucleus scattering model is developed to explore the nuclear mean-field dynamics and short-range correlation effects.In this model,the effect of the nuclear structure is depicted using the scaling function f(ψ),whereas the neutrino-nucleon interaction is represented by the elementary weak cross sectionσ_(0).The results indicate that the double-differential cross section of the scattered muon is influenced by the energy E and mo mentum p of the nucleon in the nuclei,and the total cross section depends primarily on the incident neutrino energy E_(ν).Furthermore,incorporating short-range correlations results in the flux-integrated differential cross sections in the high-T_(μ)region producing larger values,a longer tail,and achieving better experimental consistency.It eventually elucidates the physical relationship between the neutrino-nucleus scattering cross section and variation in the incident neutrino energy.This paper shares insights for the research on nucleon dynamics and presents detailed investigations of the neutrino-nucleus scattering mechanism.

文摘Using a multi-phase transport model（AMPT） that includes both initial partonic and hadronic interactions, we study neighboring bin multiplicity correlations as a function of pseudorapidity in Au＋Au collisions at √sNN= 7.7- 62.4 GeV.It is observed that for √sNN〈19.6 GeV Au＋Au collisions, the short-range correlations of final particles have a trough at central pseudorapidity, while for √sNN 〉19.6 GeV AuAu collisions,the short-range correlations of final particles have a peak at central pseudorapidity. Our findings indicate that the pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations should contain some new physical information, and are not a simple result of the pseudorapidity distribution of final particles. The AMPT results with and without hadronic scattering are compared. It is found that hadron scattering can only increase the short-range correlations to some level, but is not responsible for the different correlation shapes for different energies. Further study shows that the different pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations are mainly due to partonic evolution and the following hadronization scheme.
文摘Ten physical and environmental variables collected from an on-the-go soil sensor at two field sites (MF3E and MF11S) in Mississippi, USA, were analyzed to assess soil variability and the interrelationships among the measurements. At MF3E, moderate variability was observed in apparent electrical conductivity shallow (ECas), slope, and ECa ratio measurements, with coefficients of variation ranging from 20% to 27%. In contrast, MF11S exhibited higher variability, particularly in ECas and ECad (deep) measurements, which exceeded 30% in their coefficient of variation values, indicating significant differences in soil composition and moisture content. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between the near-infrared-to-red ratio and red reflectance (r = 0.897***) soil values at MF3E. MF11S demonstrated a strong negative correlation between ECas and ECad readings with the x-coordinate (r ***). Scatter plots and fitted models illustrated the complexity of relationships, with many showing nonlinear trends. These findings emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and advanced modeling to understand the dynamic nature of soil properties and their implications for agricultural practices. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms driving variability in the soil characteristics to enhance soil management strategies at the study sites.

文摘The synchrotron radiation beamline BL17B of the National Facility for Protein Science(NFPS)in Shanghai,situated at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF),was originally designed for diffraction experiments and accommodates techniques including single-crystal diffraction,powder diffraction,and grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering(GIWAXS)to enable the characterization of long-range ordered atomic structures.The academic community associated with BL17B engages in research domains encompassing biology,environment,energy,and materials,and a pronounced demand for characterizing short-range ordered structures exists.To address these requirements,BL17B established an advanced X-ray absorption fine structure(XAFS)experimental platform that enabled it to address a wide range of systems,from crystalline to amorphous and from long-range order to short-range order.The XAFS platform allows simultaneous XAFS data acquisition for both the transmission and fluorescence modes within an energy range of 5-23 keV,encompassing the K-edges of titanium to ruthenium and the L3-edges of cesium to bismuth.The platform exemplifies high levels of automation achieved through automated sample assessment and data collection based on large-capacity sample wheels that facilitate remote sample loading.When integrated with a highly integrated control system that simplifies experimental preparation and data collection,the XAFS platform significantly bolsters experimental efficiency and enhances user experience.Notably,the platform boasts an impressively low extended X-ray absorption fine structure(EXAFS)detection limit of 0.04 wt%for dilute copper phthalocyanine(CuPc)samples and an even more remarkable X-ray absorption near edge structure(XANES)detection threshold of 0.01 wt%.These results demonstrate the methodology?s reliability in low-concentration sample analysis,confirming its capability to generate high-quality XAFS data.

文摘Since antiquity,humans have been involved in designing materials through alloying strategies to meet the ever-growing technological demands.In 2004,this endeavor witnessed a significant breakthrough with the discovery of high-entropy alloys(HEAs)comprising multi-principal elements.Owing to the four“core-effects”,these alloys exhibit exceptional properties including better structural stability,high strength and ductility,improved fatigue/fracture toughness,high corrosion and oxidation resistance,superconductiv-ity,magnetic properties,and good thermal properties.Different synthesis routes have been designed and used to meet the properties of interest for particular applications with varying dimensions.How-ever,HEAs are providing new opportunities and challenges for computational modelling of the complex structure-property correlations and in predictions of phase stability necessary for optimum performance of the alloy.Several attempts have been made to understand these alloys by empirical and computa-tional models,and data-driven approaches to accelerate the materials discovery with a desired set of properties.The present review discusses advances and inferences from simulations and models spanning multiple length and time scales explaining a comprehensive set of structure-properties relations.Addi-tionally,the role of machine learning approaches is also reviewed,underscoring the transformative role of computational modelling in unravelling the multifaceted properties and applications of HEAs,and the scope for future efforts in this direction.
文摘Geomagnetic observatory data are crucial for all branches of geophysics because they can contribute to earthquake research by detecting anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field.Recently,data records from the Misallat(MLT)and Abu Simbel(ABS)Egyptian geomagnetic observatories were processed and found to be of good quality.In this study,Egyptian observatory data were tested during both quiet and disturbed events and compared with data from INTERMAGNET observatories worldwide at different latitudes and within a narrow range of longitudes in both hemispheres.This study investigated the relationships between magnetic field components from Egyptian observatories and those from INTERMAGNET observatories using graphical representations of the X components;Pearson’s correlation for the X,Y,Z,and F components;cross-correlation for the X component;and wavelet coherence for the F component.The results of this study showed a high correlation between Egyptian observatories and all utilized INTERMAGNET stations,except those located at high latitudes,during both quiet and disturbed events.Additionally,the study confirmed the observed consistency between Egyptian observatories and selected INTERMAGNET stations.Therefore,Egyptian observatories can feasibly fill the gap in the Middle East and North Africa.
文摘BACKGROUND Resilience is an individual’s ability and psychological rebound capacity to adapt well after experiencing adversity,trauma,etc.Patients with strong resilience can face illnesses actively.AIM To determine the association of resilience with coping styles and quality of life in patients with malignancies.METHODS This study included patients with malignant tumors who were hospitalized at Fuyang Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from March 2022 to March 2024.The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale,Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire,Social Support Rating Scale,and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 were utilized to assess patients’resilience,coping styles,social support,and quality of life,respectively.Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to assess the correlations.RESULTS A total of 175 patients with malignant tumors demonstrated no marked difference in terms of age,education level,employment status,monthly household income,and disease staging(P<0.05).Further,patients with malignancies demonstrated scores of 17.49±1.20,17.27±1.46,and 11.19±1.29 points in terms of coping styles in confrontation,avoidance,and resignation dimensions,respectively.Subjective support,objective support,and support utilization scores in terms of social support were 10.67±1.80,11.26±2.08,and 9.24±1.14 points,respectively.The total resilience score and tenacity,self-improvement,and optimism dimension scores were positively correlatedwith the confrontation coping style score,whereas the total resilience score and tenacity and self-improvementscores were negatively associated with avoidance and resignation coping style scores(P<0.05).The total resiliencescore and the tenacity dimension score were positively associated with physical,role,cognitive,emotional,andsocial functions,as well as global health status(P<0.05),and were inversely related to fatigue,insomnia,andeconomic difficulties(P<0.05).CONCLUSIONThe resilience of patients with malignancies is positively associated with the confrontation dimension in the copingstyle,the total and various social support domain scores,and the overall quality of life.Clinical medical staff needto pay attention to the effect of medical coping styles and social support on the resilience level of patients withmalignancies to further improve their quality of life.

文摘Video snapshot compressive imaging(Video SCI) modulates scenes using various encoding masks and captures compressed measurements with a low-speed camera during a single exposure. Subsequently, reconstruction algorithms restore image sequences of dynamic scenes, offering advantages such as reduced bandwidth and storage space requirements. The temporal correlation in video data is crucial for Video SCI, as it leverages the temporal relationships among frames to enhance the efficiency and quality of reconstruction algorithms, particularly for fast-moving objects.This paper discretizes video frames to create image datasets with the same data volume but differing temporal correlations. We utilized the state-of-the-art(SOTA) reconstruction framework, EfficientSCI++, to train various compressed reconstruction models with these differing temporal correlations. Evaluating the reconstruction results from these models, our simulation experiments confirm that a reduction in temporal correlation leads to decreased reconstruction accuracy. Additionally, we simulated the reconstruction outcomes of datasets devoid of temporal correlation, illustrating that models trained on non-temporal data affect the temporal feature extraction capabilities of transformers, resulting in negligible impacts on the evaluation of reconstruction results for non-temporal correlation test datasets.

文摘The Fushan Depression is one of the petroliferous depressions in the Beibuwan Basin,South China Sea.Previous studies have preliminarily explored the origin and source of crude oils in some areas of this depression.Nevertheless,no systematic investigations on the classification and origin of oils and hy-drocarbon migration processes have been made for the entire petroleum system in this depression,which has significantly hindered the hydrocarbon exploration in the region.A total of 32 mudstone and 58 oil samples from the Fushan Depression were analyzed to definite the detailed oil-source correlation within the sequence and sedimentary framework.The organic matter of third member of Paleogene Liushagang Formation(Els(3))source rocks,both deltaic and lacustrine mudstone,are algal-dominated with high abundance of C_(23)tricyclic terpane and C_(30)4-methylsteranes.The deltaic source rocks occur-ring in the first member(Els_(1))and second member(Els_(2))of the Paleogene Liushagang Formation are characterized by high abundance of C_(19+20)tricyclic terpane and oleanane,reflecting a more terrestrial plants contribution.While lacustrine source rocks of Els_(1)and Els_(2)display the reduced input of terrige-nous organic matter with relatively low abundance of C 19+20 tricyclic terpane and oleanane.Three types of oils were identified by their biomarker compositions in this study.Most of the oils discovered in the Huachang and Bailian Els_(1)reservoir belong to group A and were derived from lacustrine source rocks of Els_(1)and Els_(2).Group B oils are found within the Els_(1)and Els_(2)reservoirs,showing a close relation to the deltaic source rocks of Els_(1)and Els_(2),respectively.Group C oils,occurring in the Els3 reservoirs,have a good affinity with the Els3 source rocks.The spatial distribution and accumulation of different groups of oils are mainly controlled by the sedimentary facies and specific structural conditions.The Els_(2)reservoir in the Yong'an area belonging to Group B oil,are adjacent to the source kitchen and could be considered as the favorable exploration area in the future.

文摘Passive acoustic monitoring(PAM)technology is increasingly becoming one of the mainstream methods for bird monitoring.However,detecting bird audio within complex natural acoustic environments using PAM devices remains a significant challenge.To enhance the accuracy(ACC)of bird audio detection(BAD)and reduce both false negatives and false positives,this study proposes a BAD method based on a Dual-Feature Enhancement Fusion Model(DFEFM).This method incorporates per-channel energy normalization(PCEN)to suppress noise in the input audio and utilizes mel-frequency cepstral coefficients(MFCC)and frequency correlation matrices(FCM)as input features.It achieves deep feature-level fusion of MFCC and FCM on the channel dimension through two independent multi-layer convolutional network branches,and further integrates Spatial and Channel Synergistic Attention(SCSA)and Multi-Head Attention(MHA)modules to enhance the fusion effect of the aforementioned two deep features.Experimental results on the DCASE2018 BAD dataset show that our proposed method achieved an ACC of 91.4%and an AUC value of 0.963,with false negative and false positive rates of 11.36%and 7.40%,respectively,surpassing existing methods.The method also demonstrated detection ACC above 92%and AUC values above 0.987 on datasets from three sites of different natural scenes in Beijing.Testing on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano indicated that the method achieved an ACC of 89.48%when processing an average of 10 s of audio,with a response time of only 0.557 s,showing excellent processing efficiency.This study provides an effective method for filtering non-bird vocalization audio in bird vocalization monitoring devices,which helps to save edge storage and information transmission costs,and has significant application value for wild bird monitoring and ecological research.
文摘Quanto options allow the buyer to exchange the foreign currency payoff into the domestic currency at a fixed exchange rate. We investigate quanto options with multiple underlying assets valued in different foreign currencies each with a different strike price in the payoff function. We carry out a comparative performance analysis of different stochastic volatility (SV), stochastic correlation (SC), and stochastic exchange rate (SER) models to determine the best combination of these models for Monte Carlo (MC) simulation pricing. In addition, we test the performance of all model variants with constant correlation as a benchmark. We find that a combination of GARCH-Jump SV, Weibull SC, and Ornstein Uhlenbeck (OU) SER performs best. In addition, we analyze different discretization schemes and their results. In our simulations, the Milstein scheme yields the best balance between execution times and lower standard deviations of price estimates. Furthermore, we find that incorporating mean reversion into stochastic correlation and stochastic FX rate modeling is beneficial for MC simulation pricing. We improve the accuracy of our simulations by implementing antithetic variates variance reduction. Finally, we derive the correlation risk parameters Cora and Gora in our framework so that correlation hedging of quanto options can be performed.
文摘By introducing noncanonical vortex pairs to partially coherent beams, spatial correlation singularity (SCS) and orbital angular momenta (OAM) of the resulting beams are studied using the Fraunhofer diffraction integral. The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.
文摘Background: The use of assisted reproductive technique (ART) is becoming more common in infertility. During ART most patients undergo ovarian stimulation. In this study we study the correlation between ovarian reserve markers: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC), and the response to ovarian stimulation at in vitro fertilization (IVF) centres in Douala Cameroon. Methods: This was a hospital based cross-sectional sectional analytic study carried out over a period of 3 years, 4 months at Clinique de l’Aéroport, Clinique Odyssée and Clinique Urogyn. Inclusion criteria were: Female partners of infertile couples undergoing ovarian stimulation for an in vitro fertilization cycle, patients who had both ovaries and had done either AMH, AFC or both before ovarian stimulation. Patients were divided into three groups based on the number of oocytes retrieved: low ovarian response for ≤3 oocytes, normal ovarian response for 4 - 15 oocytes and high ovarian response for >15 oocytes. Data obtained was analyzed by SPSS version 25.0. Results: The ages of participants ranged from 20 - 4 7 years, with a mean age of 34.11 ± 5.11 years. Most of them had secondary infertility (57.9%). The GnRH antagonist protocol was mainly used, and ovulation was triggered using HCG predominantly. On Multivariate analysis, age and history of PCOS were significantly associated with ovarian response in the low and high ovarian response groups, respectively. Conclusion: AMH has a better predictive value than AFC, however, it is less sensitive but more specific than AFC.

文摘Chemical short-range order(SRO),a phenomenon at the atomic scale resulting from inhomogeneities in the local chemical environment,is usually studied using machine learning force field-based molecular dynamics simulations due to the limitations of experimental methods.To promote the reliable application of machine potentials in high-entropy alloy simulations,first,this work uses NEP models trained on two different datasets to predict the SRO coefficients of NbMoTaW.The results show that within the same machine learning framework,there are significant differences in the prediction of SRO coefficients for the Nb-Nb atomic pair.Subsequently,this work predicts the SRO coefficients of NbMoTaW using the NEP model and the SNAP model,both of which are trained on the same dataset.The results reveal significant discrepancies in SRO predictions for like-element pairs(e.g.,Nb-Nb and W-W)between the two potentials,despite the identical training data.The findings of this study indicate that discrepancies in the prediction results of SRO coefficients can arise from either the same machine learning framework trained on different datasets or different learning frameworks trained on the same dataset.This reflects possible incompleteness in the current training set's coverage of local chemical environments at the atomic scale.Future research should establish unified evaluation standards to assess the capability of training sets to accurately describe complex atomic-scale behaviors such as SRO.
文摘Elements(As,Bi)and(Cu,Fe)exhibiting two typical segregation behavior in liquid Sb alloys were selected as solute atoms for analysis.Ab initio molecular dynamics(AIMD)simulations were employed to study the molten Sb alloy at different temperatures.By analyzing its pair correlation function(PCF),bond pairs,bond angle distribution function(BADF),and Voronoi polyhedron(VP),the short-range order(SRO)of the alloy was investigated.In the Sb melt,the solute atoms Cu and Fe,which have smaller distribution coefficients,exhibit a stronger affinity for Sb than the solute atoms As and Bi,which have larger distribution coefficients.The BADF of As and Bi with larger distribution coefficients shows a lower probability of small-angle peaks compared to large-angle peaks,whereas the BADF of Cu and Fe with smaller distribution coefficients exhibits the opposite trend.The BADF reveals that Sb-As and Sb-Bi approach pure Sb melt,while Sb-Cu and Sb-Fe deviate significantly.Compared to Sb-Cu and Sb-Fe,the Sb-As and Sb-Bi systems exhibit more low-index bonds,suggesting weaker interactions and more disorder.The VP fractions around As and Bi atoms are lower than those around Cu and Fe,and the VP face distributions around As and Bi are more complex.There are differences in the VP around different solute atoms,primarily due to the varying bond pair fractions associated with each solute atom.Fe has the smallest diffusion coefficient,primarily due to its compact local structure.

文摘BACKGROUND Previous cellular studies have demonstrated that elevated expression of Cx43 promotes the degradation of cyclin E1 and inhibits cell proliferation through ubiquitination.Conversely,reduced expression results in a loss of this capacity to facilitate cyclin E degradation.The ubiquitination and degradation of cyclin E1 may be associated with phosphorylation at specific sites on the protein,with Cx43 potentially enhancing this process by facilitating the phosphorylation of these critical residues.AIM To investigate the correlation between expression of Cx43,SKP1/Cullin1/F-box(SCF)FBXW7,p-cyclin E1(ser73,thr77,thr395)and clinicopathological indexes in colon cancer.METHODS Expression levels of Cx43,SCF^(FBXW7),p-cyclin E1(ser73,thr77,thr395)in 38 clinical colon cancer samples were detected by immunohistochemistry and were analyzed by statistical methods to discuss their correlations.RESULTS Positive rate of Cx43,SCF^(FBXW7),p-cyclin E1(Ser73),p-cyclin E1(Thr77)and p-cyclin E1(Thr395)in detected samples were 76.32%,76.32%,65.79%,5.26%and 55.26%respectively.Positive expressions of these proteins were not related to the tissue type,degree of tissue differentiation or lymph node metastasis.Cx43 and SCF^(FBXW7)(r=0.749),p-cyclin E1(Ser73)(r=0.667)and p-cyclin E1(Thr395)(r=0.457),SCF^(FBXW7) and p-cyclin E1(Ser73)(r=0.703)and p-cyclin E1(Thr395)(0.415)were correlated in colon cancer(P<0.05),and expressions of the above proteins were positively correlated in colon cancer.CONCLUSION Cx43 may facilitate the phosphorylation of cyclin E1 at the Ser73 and Thr195 sites through its interaction with SCF^(FBXW7),thereby influencing the ubiquitination and degradation of cyclin E1.
