This study combines homology modeling and molecular dynamics simulation methods to study the structure of CXCRI-IL8 complex. By using CXCR4-vMIP-II crystallography structure as the homologous template, CXCRI-IL8 complex structure was constructed, and then refined using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. Through extensive simulations, CXCRI-IL8 binding poses were investigated in detail. Furthermore, the role of the N-terminal of CXCR1 receptor was studied by comparing four complex models differing in the N-terminal sequences. The results indicate that the receptor N-terminal affects the binding of IL8 significantly. With a shorter N-terminal domain, the binding of IL8 to CXCR1 becomes unstable. The homology modeling and simulations also reveal the key receptor-ligand residues involved in the electrostatic interactions known to be vital for complex formation.展开更多

This information can enable advanced machine learning algorithms to extract and assign user sentiments to various aspects of the items thus leading to more sophisticated and justifiable recommendations. However, most Collaborative Filtering (CF) techniques rely mainly on the overall preferences of users toward items only. And there is lack of conceptual and computational framework that enables an understandable aspect-based AI approach to recommending items to users. In this paper, we propose concepts and computational tools that can sharpen the logic of recommendations and that rely on users’ sentiments along various aspects of items. These concepts include: The sentiment of a user towards a specific aspect of a specific item, the emphasis that a given user places on a specific aspect in general, the popularity and controversy of an aspect among groups of users, clusters of users emphasizing a given aspect, clusters of items that are popular among a group of users and so forth. The framework introduced in this study is developed in terms of user emphasis, aspect popularity, aspect controversy, and users and items similarity. Towards this end, we introduce the Aspect-Based Collaborative Filtering Toolbox (ABCFT), where the tools are all developed based on the three-index sentiment tensor with the indices being the user, item, and aspect. The toolbox computes solutions to the questions alluded to above. We illustrate the methodology using a hotel review dataset having around 6000 users, 400 hotels and 6 aspects.展开更多

The results showed that the refractory period played an important role in forming the pattern of the output spectrum of a reverberating circuit. The inhibitory action of the parallel circuit was able to regulate the reverberation frequency, suggesting that parallel circuits may be involved in the control of reverberation circuits related to motive activities underlying precision tasks and perhaps underlying neural work processes and immediate memories.展开更多

文摘We report the development of the[Pt_(0.75)Ti_(0.25)/Co-Ni multilayer/Ta]_n superlattice with strong spin-orbit torque,large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy,and remarkably low switching current density.We demonstrate that the efficiency of the spin-orbit torque increases nearly linearly with the repetition number n,which is in excellent agreement with the spin Hall effect of the Pt_(0.75)Ti_(0.25)being essentially the only source of the observed spin-orbit torque.The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy field is also substantially enhanced by more than a factor of 2 as n increases from 1 to6.The[Pt_(0.75)Ti_(0.25)/Co-Ni multilayers/Ta]_n superlattice additionally exhibits deterministic,low-current-density magnetization switching despite the very large total layer thicknesses.The unique combination of strong spin-orbit torque,robust perpendicular magnetic anisotropy,low-current-density switching,and excellent high thermal stability makes the[Pt_(0.75)Ti_(0.25)/Co-Ni multilayer/Ta]_n superlattice a highly compelling material candidate for ultrafast,energy-efficient,and long-data-retention spintronic technologies.
文摘Zero-click attacks represent an advanced cybersecurity threat,capable of compromising devices without user interaction.High-profile examples such as Pegasus,Simjacker,Bluebugging,and Bluesnarfing exploit hidden vulnerabilities in software and communication protocols to silently gain access,exfiltrate data,and enable long-term surveillance.Their stealth and ability to evade traditional defenses make detection and mitigation highly challenging.This paper addresses these threats by systematically mapping the tactics and techniques of zero-click attacks using the MITRE ATT&CK framework,a widely adopted standard for modeling adversarial behavior.Through this mapping,we categorize real-world attack vectors and better understand how such attacks operate across the cyber-kill chain.To support threat detection efforts,we propose an Active Learning-based method to efficiently label the Pegasus spyware dataset in alignment with the MITRE ATT&CK framework.This approach reduces the effort of manually annotating data while improving the quality of the labeled data,which is essential to train robust cybersecurity models.In addition,our analysis highlights the structured execution paths of zero-click attacks and reveals gaps in current defense strategies.The findings emphasize the importance of forward-looking strategies such as continuous surveillance,dynamic threat profiling,and security education.By bridging zero-click attack analysis with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and leveraging machine learning for dataset annotation,this work provides a foundation for more accurate threat detection and the development of more resilient and structured cybersecurity frameworks.

文摘AdshtT Marine stratocumulus clouds profoundly affect Earth's energy budget by reflecting solar radiation over extensive oceanic areas.Yet,after using a large-eddy simulation(LES)and a Lagrangian microphysics scheme(Super-Droplet Method,SDM)for entrainment-mixing studies,uncertainty remains in the grid resolution and super-droplet number concentration(SDNC)required for accurate homogeneity capture.This study analyzes the homogeneous mixing degree(HMD)and the Damkohler number(Da)in stratocumulus using an LES with SDM,from microphysical and dynamical perspectives,respectively.Results show that HMD and Da both display a top-to-base gradient,with more intense inhomogeneity near the cloud top and relatively homogeneous conditions toward the base,although the upper region is more complex.Even at a fine horizontal resolution of 12.5 m and vertical resolution of 2.5 m,HMD remains sensitive and does not converge,whereas Da converges at coarser grid spacings(up to horizontal and vertical spacings of 25 m and 10 m,respectively)in the mid-cloud region.Similarly,HMD requires an SDNC well above 128 per cell for near-complete convergence,while Da converges once SDNC exceeds about 16 per cell.This difference arises because HMD depends on microphysical details,thereby demanding a high SDNC to capture local droplet inhomogeneities,whereas Da reflects turbulence-evaporation timescales that converge more readily once extreme droplet gradients are resolved.We further find that HMD and Da exhibit a significant negative correlation,with stronger anti-correlations emerging under finer spatial resolutions,reinforcing their complementary roles in diagnosing mixing regimes.Overall,these findings provide guidelines for selecting numerical configurations in entrainment-mixing simulations,ensuring that both turbulence-driven and microphysical processes are adequately resolved,.

文摘Wave energy is a promising form of marine renewable energy that offers a sustainable pathway for electricity generation in coastal regions.Despite Malaysia’s extensive coastline,the exploration of wave energy in Sarawak remains limited due to economic,technical,and environmental challenges that hinder its implementation.Compared to other renewable energy sources,wave energy is underutilized largely because of cost uncertainties and the lack of local performance data.This research aims to identify themost suitable coastal zone in Sarawak that achieves an optimal balance between energy potential,cost-effectiveness,and environmental impact,particularly in relation to infrastructure and regional development.The findings indicate that wave energy generation in Sarawak is technically feasible based on MOGA analysis.Among the studied sites,Bintulu emerged as the most balanced option,with a levelized cost of electricity(LCOE)of 0.778–0.864 USD/kWh and a CO_(2) emission factor as low as 0.019–0.020 CO_(2)/k Wh.Miri,while producing lower emissions than Sematan,recorded a higher LCOE of 1.045 USD/kWh with moderate emissions at 0.029 CO_(2)/kWh.Sematan,characterized by weaker wave conditions and higher installation penalties,resulted in the least favorable outcome,with an LCOE of 3.735 USD/kWh.Bintulu’s strategic location reduces CAPEX requirements,making it the most suitable site for large-scale wave energy deployment in Sarawak.

文摘Self-trapped excitons(STEs),known for their unique radiative properties,have been harnessed in diverse photonic devices;however,their comprehensive understanding and manipulation remain elusive.In this study,we present novel experimental and theoretical evidence revealing the hybrid nature and optical tunability of STE state in Cs_(2)Ag_(0.4)Na_(0.6)InCl_(6).The detection of the Fano resonance in laser energy-dependent Raman and photoluminescence spectra indicates the emergence of an exciton-phonon hybrid state,arising from robust quantum interference between the discrete phonon and continuum exciton states.Moreover,we demonstrate continuous tuning of this hybrid state with the energy and intensity of the laser field.These findings lay the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of the nature of STE and their potential for state control.

文摘Soil contaminated with heavy metals is a global health hazard.Nanomaterials,with their unique physical and chemical properties,hold significant potential for the remediation of soil polluted with heavy metals.They effectively reduce the mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals through various mechanisms such as adsorption,precipitation,and oxidation-reduction.This paper provides an in-depth exploration of the cuttingedge applications of various nanomaterials,including nanometallic,nano non-metallic materials,nanoclay and mineral materials,and nano modified biochar materials,in the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils.It specifically focuses on the key factors influencing the remediation efficacy of these nanomaterials,as well as the underlying remediation mechanisms and methods for performance optimization.The aims of this paper are to provide guidance for the further application of nanomaterials in the field of soil heavy metal remediation,and to offer insights that could promote the effective control of soil heavy metal pollution.

文摘Enhancing the kinetic stability of glasses typically requires deepening their thermodynamic stability,which increases structural rigidity and degrades ductility;decoupling these properties remains a major challenge.Here,we demonstrate that spatial patterning in metallic glasses produces exceptional kinetic ultrastability that coexists with a thermodynamically metastable,high-energy state and excellent plasticity.Guided by atomistic simulations using replica exchange molecular dynamics and machine learning interatomic potentials,we reveal that oxygen,through reaction-diffusion-coupled pattern dynamics,self-organizes into oxygen-centered pinned structures(OPSs)that serve as localized kinetic constraints.These motifs drastically slow structural relaxation,delivering kinetic stability comparable to ultrastable glasses even as the system retains the high inherent energy of rapidly quenched states.The OPSs’topology yields a spatially uniform activation of plastic events,promoting strain delocalization under mechanical load.By geometrically tailoring oxygen patterns,we increase the glass transition onset temperature(Tonset)by about 200 K with negligible loss of deformability.Our findings establish a practicable paradigm for decoupling kinetic and thermodynamic stability and point to a scalable,additive route for designing amorphous materials that combine hyperstability with plasticity.

文摘With the widespread adoption of digital equipment in intelligent substations,testing digital signals in power systems has become an important role for relay protection test equipment.Testing and calibrating digital signals require high accuracy.However,existing methods have low precision,cannot be calibrated at full range for all indexes,and have complex configuration,making them unsuitable for routine calibration work.To solve the above problems,a novel calibration method is designed and implemented using field programmable gate array(FPGA)to achieve accurate input and output time control.Accurate calibration relies on multiple forms of traceability including theoretical value traceability based on waveform comparison,time scale value traceability based on accurate time stamps,and algorithm traceability based on typical algorithms.Compared with other existing methods,the proposed approach reduces the mean absolute error of action time and time measurement by 92.88%,effectively addressing a key industry challenge and offering a valuable reference for further research,application,and standardization.
文摘This paper focuses on the effects of external geometrical modifications on the aerodynamic characteristics of the MQ-1 predator Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle(UCAV)using computational fluid dynamics.The investigations are performed for 16 flight conditions at an altitude of7.6 km and at a constant speed of 56.32 m/s.Two models are analysed,namely the baseline model and the model with external geometrical modifications installed on it.Both the models are investigated for various angles of attack from-4°to 16°,angles of bank from 0°to 6°and angles of yaw from 0°to 4°.Due to the unavailability of any experimental(wind tunnel or flight test)data for this UCAV in the literature,a thorough verification of calculations process is presented to demonstrate confidence level in the numerical simulations.The analysis quantifies the loss of lift and increase in drag for the modified version of the MQ-1 predator UCAV along with the identification of stall conditions.Local improvement(in drag)of up to 96%has been obtained by relocating external modifications,whereas global drag force reduction of roughly 0.5%is observed.The effects of external geometrical modifications on the control surfaces indicate the blanking phenomenon and reduction in forces on the control surfaces that can reduce the aerodynamic performance of the UCAV.

文摘CXCR1 is a G-protein coupled receptor, transducing signals from chemokines, in particular the interleukin-8 （1L8） molecules. This study combines homology modeling and molecular dynamics simulation methods to study the structure of CXCRI-IL8 complex. By using CXCR4-vMIP-II crystallography structure as the homologous template, CXCRI-IL8 complex structure was constructed, and then refined using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. Through extensive simulations, CXCRI-IL8 binding poses were investigated in detail. Furthermore, the role of the N-terminal of CXCR1 receptor was studied by comparing four complex models differing in the N-terminal sequences. The results indicate that the receptor N-terminal affects the binding of IL8 significantly. With a shorter N-terminal domain, the binding of IL8 to CXCR1 becomes unstable. The homology modeling and simulations also reveal the key receptor-ligand residues involved in the electrostatic interactions known to be vital for complex formation.
文摘Many datasets in E-commerce have rich information about items and users who purchase or rate them. This information can enable advanced machine learning algorithms to extract and assign user sentiments to various aspects of the items thus leading to more sophisticated and justifiable recommendations. However, most Collaborative Filtering (CF) techniques rely mainly on the overall preferences of users toward items only. And there is lack of conceptual and computational framework that enables an understandable aspect-based AI approach to recommending items to users. In this paper, we propose concepts and computational tools that can sharpen the logic of recommendations and that rely on users’ sentiments along various aspects of items. These concepts include: The sentiment of a user towards a specific aspect of a specific item, the emphasis that a given user places on a specific aspect in general, the popularity and controversy of an aspect among groups of users, clusters of users emphasizing a given aspect, clusters of items that are popular among a group of users and so forth. The framework introduced in this study is developed in terms of user emphasis, aspect popularity, aspect controversy, and users and items similarity. Towards this end, we introduce the Aspect-Based Collaborative Filtering Toolbox (ABCFT), where the tools are all developed based on the three-index sentiment tensor with the indices being the user, item, and aspect. The toolbox computes solutions to the questions alluded to above. We illustrate the methodology using a hotel review dataset having around 6000 users, 400 hotels and 6 aspects.

Implementing our model in C++ and applying</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> neurophysiological values found in the literature, we studied the discharge pattern of the reverberant circuit and the parallel circuit separately for the same input signal pattern, examining the influence of the refractory period and the synaptic delay on the respective output signal patterns. Then, the same study was performed for the complete circuit, in which the two circuits were coupled, and the parallel circuit could then influence the functioning of the reverberant. The results showed that the refractory period played an important role in forming the pattern of the output spectrum of a reverberating circuit. The inhibitory action of the parallel circuit was able to regulate the reverberation frequency, suggesting that parallel circuits may be involved in the control of reverberation circuits related to motive activities underlying precision tasks and perhaps underlying neural work processes and immediate memories.
