The United States Dollar (USD) replacement of the sterling as the dominant currency is not only the result of the “invisible hand”, but also the “visible hand”. This study analyzes the effect of the monetary policy in the United States (U.S.) on the international share of the USD from 1914 to 1945 using the Bayesian technique, to estimate the time-varying parameter vector autoregressive (TVP-VAR) model. The study posits two main findings. First, the time-point impulse response shows that the increase in the U.S. interest rate results in an increase in the international share of the USD, implying that this increase has an expansion effect on the USD, and the effect has no time-varying characteristics. Second, the equal time interval impulse response shows that the effect of the monetary policy on the share of the USD is greater in the short-term. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The influences of heat treatment on the microstructure, element distribution, precipitation behaviour, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of S600E sorbitic stainless steel were studied. The influence of heat treatment on the precipitation kinetics of Cr23C6was analysed through theoretical calculations. The results showed that the compositional nonuniformity of the hot-rolled experimental steel was eliminated with increasing solution temperature. The proportion of high-angle boundaries increased and the tempered sorbite structure coarsened with increasing tempering temperature. The main precipitated phases in the sorbitic stainless steel included large-sized Cr23C6distributed along the grain boundaries and Nb and Ti carbides uniformly distributed within the grains. The temperatures with the fastest precipitation of M23C6and MX phases were 870 °C and 950 °C, respectively, and the precipitation of MX could suppress the concentrated precipitation of Cr23C6at the grain boundaries. By regulating the heat treatment process, the grain boundary area in the tempered sorbite structure was increased, the dissolution of Cr23C6was promoted, and the precipitation kinetics of Cr23C6were reduced, which suppressed the concentrated precipitation of Cr23C6at the grain boundaries. Therefore, the mechanical properties and chloride pitting corrosion resistance of S600E sorbitic stainless steel were improved.

- Abstract
Fast identification of flammable chemicals is essential for industrial production and laboratory safety. With the continuous advancement of sensor technology, data-driven methods have become a promising tool for gas identification. However, these methods face problems such as insufficient feature learning, unstable prediction of the single classifier, and overfitting caused by insufficient data. In this work, a kernel-based BLS (KBLS) method is proposed, in which the kernel matrix is used to calculate the sample distances and map the feature nodes to the kernel space to reduce the uncertainty. In addition, KBLS uses a pseudo-inverse method to solve the weights, which greatly avoids the risk of overfitting while improves computational efficiency. To avoid the errors caused by a single classifier for specific gas samples, KBLS is used as the weak learner and combined with the AdaBoost algorithm to form an Ada-KBLS classifier to achieve fast and accurate gas identification. In the Ada-KBLS model, the sample weights obtained by the previous weak learners are used to train the following weak learners. This method improves the classification performance by paying attention to difficult and misclassified samples and integrating the classification results of multiple weak learners. In addition, a dataset containing four flammable gases is used to verify the effectiveness of the Ada-KBLS model. The initial stage of all response data is divided into different time windows as the input of the model to test the fast gas identification ability of the method. The Ada-KBLS achieves an average classification accuracy of 98.4 % in the 4 s time window, the best among all models, and the training time is only 6.22 s. The result represents a 0.4 % improvement over the second-best model, KBLS, and a 4.5 % increase compared to the 93.9 % accuracy achieved by Random Forest (RF). In addition, the precision, recall, and F1-score of ethanol gas classification reach high values of 100 %. The experimental results demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed method in handling the task of fast detection of flammable gases, thus promoting the application of BLS and ensemble learning in gas identification.

- Abstract
Ballastless track structures are widely employed in high-speed rail networks because of their superior safety and durability. Among the various types of ballastless track, the Type II slab is currently one of the most extensively used and mature technologies in practice. Over the course of its service life, the damage within the ballastless track structure gradually accumulates in response to increased external loads. Therefore, it is crucial to continuously monitor the health condition of the track structure. In this study, a quasi-distributed fiber optic sensing system is adopted to monitor the deformation capacity and force performance of a Type II ballastless track slab under vertical load. The investigation aims to analyze the damage mechanism of the track structure under vertical pressure by assessing the deformation differences among its different components. The findings reveal that the incorporation of vertical reinforcement can enhance the pressure bearing capacity of the cement asphalt mortar layer to a certain extent, subsequently affecting the stress dilation. The stress performance of the ballastless track slab can be effectively monitored using the quasi-distributed fiber optic sensing technology under pressure. The outcomes of this research offer valuable insights for controlling displacement and analyzing damage in ballastless railway systems subjected to compression.

- Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant health concern, particularly among older adults. Outcomes between laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgeries for right-sided colon cancers in the oldest old population have yet to be evaluated despite increased use of these surgeries. Aim: This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes after robot-assisted right hemicolectomy (RARH) versus laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH) in octogenarian and nonagenarian patients. Methods: This population-based, retrospective and observational study analyzed the data of adults ≥ 80 years old diagnosed with right-side colon cancer who received RARH or LRH. All data were extracted from the US National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database 2005–2018. Associations between type of surgery and in-hospital outcomes were determined using univariate and multivariable logistic regression and linear regression analysis. Results: Data of 7,550 patients (representing 37,126 hospitalized patients in the U.S.) were analyzed. Mean age of the study population was 84.8 years, 61.4% were females, and 79.1% were non-smokers. After adjusting for relevant confounders, regression analysis showed that patients undergoing RARH had a significantly shorter LOS (adjusted Beta (aBeta), -0.24, 95% CI: -0.32, -0.15) but greater total hospital costs (aBeta, 26.54, 95% CI: 24.64, 28.44) than patients undergoing LRH. No significant differences in mortality, perioperative complications, and risk of unfavorable discharge were observed between the two procedures (p > 0.05). Stratified analyses by frailty status revealed consistent results. Conclusions: RARH is associated with a significantly shorter LOS but higher total hospital costs than LRH among octogenarians and nonagenarians. Other short-term outcomes for this population are similar between the two procedures, including in-hospital mortality, perioperative complications, and unfavorable discharge. These findings also apply to frail patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) continues to rank as one of the deadliest forms of cancer, with the majority of patients being diagnosed with unresectable disease. The implementation of cryoablation-based comprehensive treatment is expected to lead to a reduction in tumour size and potentially achieve complete resection. However, the availability of systematic and evidence-based treatment guidelines for cryoablation in pancreatic cancer is currently limited Materials and methods: A computerized search was conducted in the Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, and Clinicaltrials to retrieve studies published from August 1987 to June 2023. The perioperative outcomes and long-term survival of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) or metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC) who underwent cryosurgery were systematically collected. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test, and a funnel plot was implemented to evaluate publication bias. Data were pooled and analyzed using Stata 14.0 software. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Form tool was employed for quality evaluation. Results: Nine studies, including 368 patients, were identified. The pooled overall incidence rate was 4% (95% CI: 0-14%; I²=54.06%) for acute pancreatitis, 0% (95% CI: 0-0%; I²= 0.0%) for delayed gastric emptying, 0% (95% CI: 0-1%; I²=0.0%) for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) or bile leakage, 2% (95% CI: 0-5%; I²= 0.0%) for bleeding, and 4% (95% CI: 0-12%; I²=70.46%) for fever. The subgroup analysis revealed that the percutaneous treatment group had a lower incidence of complications compared to laparotomy but had higher incidences of POPF, bleeding, and pancreatitis than the intraoperative group. Median overall survival (OS) varied from 5 to 16.2 months. The median survival rates at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months for patients who underwent cryosurgery were as follows: 94.9%, 64.8% (range: 4.8-63.1%), 22.80%, and 9.5%, respectively. Conclusion: With the advancements in cryoablation and anti-tumour therapy, cryoablation has emerged as a promising treatment modality for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. According to existing literature, the combination of cryoablation with radioactive particle implantation or immunotherapy has demonstrated considerable efficacy and safety. However, while the majority of included data is derived from retrospective studies, it is imperative to conduct larger sample sizes or prospective trials for further validation.

- Abstract
The sulfate radical-based photocatalytic process is supposed to be the most promising way to degrade organic pollutants. However, the development of a suitable and efficient photocatalyst is very challenging. The 40LaFeO3-CuFe2O4(40LFO-CFO) nanocomposite was constructed and its catalytic performance was studied using Rhodamine B (RhB) as the target pollutant. 40LFO-CFO exhibited excellent RhB degradation by the persulfate (PS)-assisted photocatalytic process compared to the pristine LFO and CFO. The degradation rate constant for RhB by 40LFO-CFO in the Vis/PS system was 2.22 h−1which is 3.04 times and 5.05 times higher than the pristine LFO (0.73 h−1) and CFO (0.44 h−1), respectively. Furthermore, the trapping experiments and EPR spectra proved that h+plays a leading role in the bleaching of RhB for the 40LFO-CFO/PS/Vis system. The enhanced photocatalytic oxidation activity of 40LFO-CFO could be attributed to the unique charge carriers flow in 40LFO-CFO due to the Z-scheme and the cooperation effect between photocatalysis and PS activation. The recycle tests confessed the stability of 40LFO-CFO. Additionally, the intermediates and products of RhB are detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and the photocatalytic degradation routes of RhB for the 40LFO-CFO/Vis/PS system were proposed. Moreover, the 40LFO-CFO nanocomposite has a superior catalytic performance for other organics, suggesting that it is a promising heterocatalyst because of its high catalytic activity and stability for the PS-assisted photocatalytic process.

- Abstract
A weakness of the existing metric-based few-shot classification method is that task-unrelated objects or backgrounds may mislead the model since the small number of samples in the support set is insufficient to reveal the task-related targets. An essential cue of human wisdom in the few-shot classification task is that they can recognize the task-related targets by a glimpse of support images without being distracted by task-unrelated things. Thus, we propose to explicitly learn task-related saliency features and make use of them in the metric-based few-shot learning schema. We divide the tackling of the task into three phases, namely, the modeling, the analyzing, and the matching. In the modeling phase, we introduce a saliency sensitive module (SSM), which is an inexact supervision task jointly trained with a standard multiclass classification task. SSM not only enhances the fine-grained representation of feature embedding but also can locate the task-related saliency features. Meanwhile, we propose a self-training-based task-related saliency network (TRSN) which is a lightweight network to distill task-related salience produced by SSM. In the analyzing phase, we freeze TRSN and use it to handle novel tasks. TRSN extracts task-relevant features while suppressing the disturbing task-unrelated features. We, therefore, can discriminate samples accurately in the matching phase by strengthening the task-related features. We conduct extensive experiments on five-way 1-shot and 5-shot settings to evaluate the proposed method. Results show that our method achieves a consistent performance gain on benchmarks and achieves the state-of-the-art.

- Abstract
Simultaneous detection and structural characterization of protein variants on a single platform are highly desirable but technically challenging. Herein, we present a single-molecule spectral system based on a gold plasmonic nanopore for analyzing two peptides and their single-point mutated variants. The gold plasmonic nanopore enabled the high-throughput acquisition of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra at the single-molecule level by electrically driving analytes into hot spots. Furthermore, a statistical method based on Boolean operations was developed to extract prominent features from fluctuated single-molecule SERS spectra. The effects of the single-amino acid substitutions on both the intramolecular interactions and the peptide conformations were directly characterized by the nanopore system, and the results agreed with the predictions by AlphaFold2. This study highlights the mutual benefits of spectroscopy and nanopore technology, whereby the gold plasmonic nanopore offers a powerful tool for the structural analysis of single-molecule proteins.

Chinese Named Entity Recognition (NER) for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is a fundamental task in building a digital hospital and is widely considered to be a sequence annotation problem in the Natural Language Processing domain. (NLP). However, existing deep learning sequence annotation models cannot fully use the large amount of unannotated data for Chinese EMRs that contain a vast number of professional unregistered words, named entities, and inter-of-entity relationships carrying rich professional knowledge. Moreover, the syntactic structure of EMR sentences is complex, and the text is long; the features of the EMR documents often cannot be captured deeply. Aiming at these two problems, this paper proposes a deep learning method that combines Multi-Head Attention with a pre-trained language model. (BERTBiGRU-Att-CRF). The method uses the BERT pre-trained model to obtain dynamic word vectors combined with contextual information, extracts global semantic features through a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU), obtains augmented semantic features by using the Multi-Head Attention. Finally, using Conditional Random Field (CRF) decoding, outputs the globally optimal label sequence with greatest probability. The model is trained using the CCKS2019 Chinese EMR dataset containing six types of entities: anatomical sites, surgeries, diseases and diagnoses, medicines, laboratory tests, and imaging tests, and good results are achieved with an F1 score of 86.97%.

- Abstract
Maintaining newly re-established forests is an important policy and challenge for ecosystem restoration and climate-change mitigation. However, a global assessment of canopy structure in regenerating forests under different management and whether they are developing toward that of intact forests is lacking, impeding the understanding of their roles in carbon cycling and biodiversity recovery. Here we present the first near-global assessment of regenerating forest canopy structure at a 1-km resolution and its progress toward attaining intact forest characteristics. We show that canopy structure in unmanaged naturally regenerating forests more closely resemble intact forests than managed naturally regenerating forests and planted forests, but they are more susceptible to climate and human stress. Meanwhile, managed naturally regenerating forests experience substantial re-clearance. Our findings underscore the high ecological recovery potential of naturally regenerating forests and call for urgent action to enhance socio-ecological conditions for their persistence, unlocking their potential in sustainable development.

- Abstract
Structural complexity brings a huge challenge to the analysis of sugar chains. As a single-molecule sensor, nanopores have the potential to provide fingerprint information on saccharides. Traditionally, direct single-molecule saccharide detection with nanopores is hampered by their small size and weak affinity. Here, a carbon nitride nanopore device is developed to discern two types of trisaccharide molecules (LeApNand SLeCpN) with minor structural differences. The resolution of LeApNand SLeCpNin the mixture reaches 0.98, which has never been achieved in solid-state nanopores so far. Monosaccharide (GlcNAcpN) and disaccharide (LacNAcpN) can also be discriminated using this system, indicating that the versatile carbon nitride nanopores possess a monosaccharide-level resolution. This study demonstrates that the carbon nitride nanopores have the potential for conducting structure analysis on single-molecule saccharides.

- Abstract
A new weathering steel suitable for low salinity conditions was developed in this paper. The corrosion evolution of test steel under simulated tropical marine atmosphere was studied by alternating dry/wet corrosion tests, electrochemical techniques, morphology characterization and component analysis. It was indicated that the relative corrosion performance ratio of Mo-alloyed Ni-advanced weathering steel is superior to that of 3Ni steel due to the adsorption of Mo's oxide by NiFe2O4in the rust layer. This interaction prevents NiFe2O4from disintegrating, enhances the density of the rust layer, and improves its protecti0ve properties.

- Abstract
The effectiveness and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for cases with single pseudo-capsuled hepatocellular carcinoma (pHCC), as well as their survival outcomes, were investigated. A total of 196 cases with single pHCC (diameter >5 cm) receiving initial HAIC (n = 92) and TACE (n = 104) were enrolled. The propensity score match (PSM) approach based on Cox models was employed to tune any possible imbalance in treatment assignment. The overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and partial response rate (PRR) of the subjects were investigated using the log-rank test. The independent risk factors for outcomes were investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses, and the results were analyzed using the Cox regression model. The median follow-up of the subjects was 22.3 months. After PSM, no significant difference was found in the OS of the HAIC and TACE groups (OS, 12.0 vs. 16.8 months; P =.267), while the median PFS of the TACE group was prolonged compared with the HAIC group (PFS, 5.7 vs. 2.8 months; P =.003). Moreover, PRR and ORR of the TACE group were prolonged compared with the HAIC group (PRR, 34.6% vs. 21.7%; P =.046; ORR, 35.6% vs. 21.7%; P =.033). The nomogram model showed high predictive accuracy and significant discrimination. TACE therapy could delay tumor progression compared with HAIC for cases with a single pHCC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in rice has been a serious threat to human health. To investigate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the Cd translocation in rice, a controlled pot experiment was conducted. The results indicated that AMF significantly increased rice biomass, with an increase of up to 40.0%, particularly in root biomass by up to 68.4%. Notably, the number of prominent rice individuals also increased, and their plasticity was enhanced following AMF inoculation. AMF led to an increase in the net photosynthetic rate and antioxidant enzyme activity of rice. In the AMF treatment group, the Cd concentration in the rice roots was significantly higher (19.1%‒68.0%) compared with that in the control group. Conversely, the Cd concentration in the rice seeds was lower in the AMF treatment group, indicating that AMF facilitated the sequestration of Cd in rice roots and reduced Cd accumulation in the seeds. Path coefficients varied across different treatments, suggesting that AMF inoculation reduced the direct impact of soil Cd concentration on the total Cd accumulation in seeds. The translocation of Cd was consistently associated with simultaneous growth dilution and compensatory accumulation as a result of mycorrhizal effects. Our study quantitatively analyzed this process through path analysis and clarified the causal relationship between rice growth and Cd transfer under the influence of AMF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Discontinuous perfobond rib shear (PBL) connectors can be applied to fabricated steel-concrete composite beams. In this paper, six push-out specimens were designed to explore the shear performance of PBL under static and repeated loads. Four specimens were used for static push-out test. The remaining two were used for fatigue push-out test. The static load test mainly considers the influence of concrete at steel plate end and post-cast strip on the shear bearing capacity, initial shear stiffness and load-slip curve of discontinuous PBL shear connectors. On the basis of the test results, the calculating formulas of the shear capacity and shear stiffness of discontinuous PBL connectors considering the influence of end bearing, bond group effect and post-cast strip are proposed. The predicted results of the formula are close to the experiment. From the fatigue test results, it is found that the fatigue performance of above specimens with C50 and UHPC is better than that with studs, but the fatigue resistance of discontinuous PBL connectors with UHPC is not increased in proportion to the shear capacity. In addition, the residual slip and shear stiffness of PBL specimens after cyclic loading are related to fatigue load amplitude. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The objective of this research is to assess how salvianolate impacts inflammation and oxidative stress in a laboratory setting, as well as to investigate the underlying mechanisms. HK-2 cells were subjected to different treatments, including normal glucose, mannitol, high glucose and high glucose plus salvianolate. Cell proliferation, death, MDA levels, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1 concentrations, ROS levels, MMP, MPTP, and ATP levels were assessed using various kits. The protein expressions of NOX4, TGF-β1, P-Smad2, P-Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 were ascertained through western blot analysis. Our results indicated salvianolate could reduce the release of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, as well as MCP-1, alleviate the levels of oxidative stress markers NOX4 and MDA, and improve mitochondrial function by increasing MMP and ATP levels while reducing ROS and MPTP opening. Furthermore, salvianolate inhibited the TGF-β1/Smad2, Smad3 signaling pathway, suppressed Smad4 expression, and increased Smad7 expression. Salvianolate seems to mitigate inflammation and oxidative stress through a variety of mechanisms. These discoveries offer valuable understanding into the possible mechanisms by which salvianolate may be employed in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Achilles tendon rupture is a common and primary cause of lower limb tendon injury suffered during sports-related activities. The causes of Achilles tendon rupture include the calf muscle and tendon overuse, poor tendon quality, and various medical conditions. Historically, acute Achilles tendon rupture was treated conservatively. However, historical techniques are now associated with an increased risk of rerupture. To address this problem, open repair has been proposed. Open repair is associated with a reduced risk of rerupture; however, it is also closely associated with wound complications, like wound infection, whose treatment is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair has been proposed as a promising option with acceptable functional outcomes. Nevertheless, despite its benefits, minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair is associated with increased risks of sural nerve injury and rerupture. In this review, we evaluate the currently used treatment strategies for acute Achilles tendon rupture and their historical evolution to provide evidence-based recommendations for physicians.

SOCIAL networks ,PRIVACY - Abstract
With the rapid development of mobile wireless technology, mobile social networks play a key role in people's online life. However, a large amount of data containing individual relationship information in mobile social networks will result in the leakage of individual privacy. Therefore, how to prevent privacy disclosure of these network data while sharing them to improve services for users is urgent. In order to improve the effectiveness of differential privacy, an uncertain graph method based on the shuffle model is proposed. Especially, the shuffle model is introduced to modify the relationships of nodes, which not only provides differential privacy preserving for the link privacy of nodes, but also improves the data utility of differential privacy. Moreover, node differential privacy is utilized to inject uncertainty on edges, which can reduce perturbations caused by differential privacy. In addition, the exponential mechanism is used to restrict the edge modification in the original graph. The theoretical analysis shows that the uncertain method satisfies differential privacy. The results of experiments show that the uncertain method can effectively preserve link privacy of nodes and maintain data utility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) are widely used in engineering structures due to their excellent mechanical properties and economic benefits. This study focused on the construction of artificial neural network (ANN) models with high prediction capabilities and prediction accuracies that could predict the axial compression load capacities of short CFST columns using machine learning methods. A database was created by searching literature published over the past 40 years regarding circular-CFST bearing-capacity testing. Three ANN models with different input parameters were developed, and used the Whale Optimization Algorithm to optimize the network weights and thresholds, the core idea of which comes from the humpback whale's special bubble net attack method. Then, the predictions of the proposed machine learning models were also compared with the theoretical values produced by the formulas proposed in existing codes. The results show that the ANN models had higher accuracies and a wider application range than the existing code models. Based on the Garson's algorithm, we perform parameter sensitivity analysis on the network model to enhance the interpretability of the neural network model. Finally, a graphical user tool is built to make the strength of CFST can be predicted quickly.

- Abstract
Shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) proteins have been shown an allergenic potential; however, little information is available on the sensitizing and eliciting capacity of shrimp protein digestion products. In this study, a BALB/c mice model was used to explore the allergenicity of shrimp protein sample (SPS) and their gastric and gastrointestinal digestion products (GDS/GIDS). As compared with the SPS groups, the GDS/GIDS groups caused lower specific immunoglobulins (IgE/IgG1) levels (P< 0.05), but higher than the control groups, indicating that the digestion products sensitized the mice. Meanwhile, spleen index, mouse mast cell protease-1 (mMCP-1) concentration and proportion of degranulated mast cells were significantly reduced in the GDS/GIDS groups (P< 0.05); simultaneously, allergic symptoms, vascular permeability and histopathological changes of tissues were alleviated. Nevertheless, the allergenicity of digestion products cannot be eliminated and still cause systemic allergic reactions in mice. The study showed that the digestion products of shrimp still had high sensitizing and eliciting capacity.

45. A Transferability-Based Method for Evaluating the Protein Representation Learning

Hu, Fan, Zhang, Weihong, Huang, Huazhen, Li, Wang, Li, Yang, and Yin, Peng
- Abstract
Self-supervised pre-trained language models have recently risen as a powerful approach in learning protein representations, showing exceptional effectiveness in various biological tasks, such as drug discovery. Amidst the evolving trend in protein language model development, there is an observable shift towards employing large-scale multimodal and multitask models. However, the predominant reliance on empirical assessments using specific benchmark datasets for evaluating these models raises concerns about the comprehensiveness and efficiency of current evaluation methods. Addressing this gap, our study introduces a novel quantitative approach for estimating the performance of transferring multi-task pre-trained protein representations to downstream tasks. This transferability-based method is designed to quantify the similarities in latent space distributions between pre-trained features and those fine-tuned for downstream tasks. It encompasses a broad spectrum, covering multiple domains and a variety of heterogeneous tasks. To validate this method, we constructed a diverse set of protein-specific pre-training tasks. The resulting protein representations were then evaluated across several downstream biological tasks. Our experimental results demonstrate a robust correlation between the transferability scores obtained using our method and the actual transfer performance observed. This significant correlation highlights the potential of our method as a more comprehensive and efficient tool for evaluating protein representation learning.

- Abstract
Abstract: Background: To investigate characteristic features of three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced MR angiography (3D DCE-MRA) and validate its clinical significance for the diagnosis of cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV). Methods: Three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced MR angiography, along with subsequent data processing using three-dimensional reconstruction, was performed in 33 CTPV patients. We observed 33 emboli in the portal vein, 29 in the left and/or right portal branches, 18 in the superior mesenteric vein, and nine emboli in the splenic vein. Results: The main presentation of CTPV on 3D DCE-MRA was the replacement of the normal configuration of the portal vein by numerous distorted hepatopetal collateral vessels, the presence of arterio-portal venous shunts, and the appearance of hepatofugal collateral vessels in the abdominal cavity and wall. Conclusion: Three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced MR angiography can be used to simultaneously characterize the portal system and collateral vessels, and can improve the diagnosis and clinical treatment of CTPV.

Lin, Qin and Li, Wang
- Abstract
ABSTRACT:The rise of a powerful China will inevitably impact the distribution of power structures in East Asia, and the conflicts and interests between China, a rising power, and the United States, a conservative power, in the international system are also reflected in East Asia, which is a vital frontier. The US has viewed China as a threat to its hegemony and it is taking corrective measures. The Biden administration inherited and enriched the Indo-Pacific Strategy, embedded in the Indo-Pacific as an economic plan to complement its military and security strategy in the Indo-Pacific region. The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) will lead to more intense competition between the US and China, yet the inherent flaws of the IPEF create much uncertainty about its development. In the face of this offensive, China needs to guide the US-China relationship along a path to healthy competition, adhere to multilateralism, strengthen its relationships with neighbouring countries, maintain strategic stability, and enhance its strength.

- Abstract
The total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere at low latitudes is significantly influenced by solar-geomagnetic activity and seasonal variations. Traditional ionospheric models often struggle to accurately forecast TEC in low latitudes, which limits the improvement of positioning accuracy for single-frequency global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. This study focuses on the Sichuan and Yunnan areas of China located on the northern crest of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA), utilizing data from 48 stations of the Chinese GNSS network. It employs a convolutional long short-term memory (LSTM) network with multichannel characteristics, combined with the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), to construct a WOA-convolutional neural network (CNN)-LSTM model for predicting TEC variations. The results demonstrate that the WOA-CNN-LSTM model outperforms CNN-gated recurrent unit (CNN-GRU), bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), and recurrent neural network (RNN) models in spatial morphology. In 2015 (a year with geomagnetic storms), the root mean square error (RMSE) values for all four seasons were at or below 1.96 TECu, with mean absolute error (MAE) values at or below 1.42 TECu, and Pearson correlation coefficients at or above 0.98. In 2019 (a calm year), the RMSE values are all below 0.74 TECu, MAE values are all below 0.54 TECu, and Pearson correlation coefficients remain at or above 0.95. In terms of temporal variation, the RMSE prediction results for the four observation stations are all at or below 2.75 TECu for each of the four seasons in 2015, improving to 1.56 TECu in 2019. Therefore, this model significantly enhances ionospheric prediction accuracy in low-latitude regions, benefiting navigation positioning, space environment forecasting, and disaster early warning systems.

49. Identification of robot dynamic model and joint frictions using a baseplate force sensor

- Abstract
Dynamic models play an important role in robot control and applications. The accurate identification of dynamic models has become crucial to meeting increasing performance requirements. Owing to the inertial forces and the joint frictions coupling, the identification first requires a parametrized friction model. However, the joint frictions are strongly nonlinear and vary with many factors including posture, velocity and temperature. Hence, all friction models have some deviation from the real values, which reduces the identification accuracy. This paper proposes an identification approach using a baseplate force sensor. It identifies the inertial parameters first and then computes the joint friction values by subtracting the inertial torques from the joint torques. This method has the advantage that it does not require a priori friction model. It can choose or construct a proper model to fit the real values and is thus expected to achieve high performance. Experiments on a 6-DoF robot were conducted to verify the proposed method.

- Abstract
In view of the disadvantage that coal waste powder(CWP) can reduce the crack resistance of asphalt mortar at low temperature, silane coupling agent KH-550 was used to modify coal waste powder. The surface characteristics and modification mechanism of silane coupling agent modified coal waste powder were characterized by using Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM). Five kinds of silane coupling agent modified coal waste powder asphalt mortar with content 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and limestone(LS) powder asphalt mortar were prepared under different filler-asphalt ratios, respectively. The effects and mechanism of silane coupling agent modified coal waste powder on the pavement performance of asphalt mortar and asphalt mixture was studied by the dynamic shear rheological test(DSR), low temperature bending beam rheological test (BBR), Brookfield viscosity test, adhesion test, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), rutting test, bending test at low temperature, immersion Marshall test and freeze-thaw split test. The results showed that the optimal proportion of KH-550 is 1.5% of CWP mass and CWP modified by silane coupling agent can greatly enhance high temperature performance, low temperature performance and adhesion of the asphalt mortar. Furthermore, CWP modified by silane coupling agent can significantly improve rutting resistance, low temperature crack resistance and water damage resistance of asphalt mixture.
