Abstract Time series prediction has always been an important problem in the field of machine learning. Among them, power load forecasting plays a crucial role in identifying the behavior of photovoltaic power plants and regulating their control strategies. Traditional power load forecasting often has poor feature extraction performance for long time series. In this paper, a new deep learning framework Residual Stacked Temporal Long Short-Term Memory (RST-LSTM) is proposed, which combines wavelet decomposition and time convolutional memory network to solve the problem of feature extraction for long sequences. The network framework of RST-LSTM consists of two More >

Abstract Background: Dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase (DLAT) is a subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC), a rate-limiting enzyme complex, that can participate in either glycolysis or the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). However, the pathogenesis is not fully understood. We aimed to perform a more systematic and comprehensive analysis of DLAT in the occurrence and progression of tumors, and to investigate its function in patients’ prognosis and immunotherapy. Methods: The differential expression, diagnosis, prognosis, genetic and epigenetic alterations, tumor microenvironment, stemness, immune infiltration cells, function enrichment, single-cell analysis, and drug response across cancers were conducted based on multiple computational… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Cavity closed with a thin plate is a common structure in aircrafts, such as landing gear compartments and skin skeletons. The plate undergoing aerodynamic pressure on top is generally vibrating in the amplitude of thickness, which will induce an acoustic pressure in the cavity underneath and it will further affect the panel response. Considering both aerodynamic and acoustic pressure on the panel, there will be an interest to investigate the aero-acoustic-structure coupling mechanism and the aeroacoustoelastic response of the plate. Von Karman plate theory, piston theory and two-dimensional partial differential acoustic equation are employed for… More >

Abstract Stem cells have shown great application potential in wound repair, tissue regeneration, and disease treatment. Therefore, a full understanding of stem cells and their related regulatory mechanisms in disease treatment is conducive to improving the therapeutic effect of stem cells. However, thus far, there are still many unsolved mysteries in the field of stem cells due to technical limitations, which hinder the in-depth exploration of stem cells and their wide clinical application. Single-cell sequencing (SCS) has provided very powerful and unbiased insights into cell gene expression profiles at the single-cell level, bringing exciting results to More >

Abstract The intricate packing of elastic filaments, including cytoskeletal microtubules, actin filaments, and artificial nanotubes, is fundamental to understanding a plethora of cellular functions and their applications in cellular engineering. Through rigorous theoretical analysis, we investigate the packing dynamics of filaments within vesicles and explore the axial stretching of the vesicle–filament system. Our examination reveals how the interplay of stiffness and size ratios between filaments and vesicles drives transitions in vesicle configurations, prompting filament bending or coiling. We construct morphological phase diagrams to elucidate these transitional phenomena, highlighting the influence of pressurized vesicles in enhancing resistance More >

Abstract The extended finite element method (XFEM) has been successful in crack analysis but faces challenges in modeling multiple cracks. One challenge is the linear dependence and ill-conditioning of the global stiffness matrix, while another is the geometric description for multiple cracks. To address the first challenge, the Improved XFEM (IXFEM) [1–9] is extended to handle multiple crack problems, effectively eliminating issues of linear dependence and ill-conditioning. Additionally, to overcome the second challenge, a novel level set templated cover cutting method (LSTCCM) [10] is proposed, which combines the advantages of the level set method and cover More >

Abstract Superior thermal insulating and fire-retardant ceramic membranes are urgently demanded in the aerospace, construction and chemical engineering industries. However, the generic characteristics of ceramic membranes, such as brittleness, structural collapse and crystallization-induced pulverization behavior, present a great plague to their practical applications. Herein, we report a highly flexible, mechanically stable, fire retardant and high-temperature-resistant ceramic membrane based on the interlocked Si₃N₄ nanowires formed by the precursor pyrolysis method. The Si₃N₄ nanowires membrane (SNM) has excellent high temperature resistance under alcohol lamp and butane spray lance. The thermal insulation with a thermal conductivity as low as 0.056… More >

Abstract This study investigates the interactions between droplets and bubbles within water-in-oil (O/W) and oil-in-water (W/O) systems, a fundamental problem of bubble dynamics in binary immiscible fluid systems. Considering the density ratio between the two fluids and the bubble-to-droplet size ratio, we have refined the classical spherical bubble pulsation equation, Rayleigh collapse time, and the natural frequency. In our experimental study, we found that the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability hardly develops on the surface of the droplet when the densities of the two liquids are comparable. This phenomenon is explained using the classic theory of spherical RT More >

Abstract Internal solitary waves (ISWs) a serious threat to moored floating structures in deep water, especially in South China Sea. On predicating dynamic response of a moored structure subjected to ISWs, previous researchers directly apply the pre-calculated ISW loading to the structure, which ignores the coupling effects between the structure and the ISW. To address this issue, this paper develops a coupled dynamic analysis model for moored structures, where the determination of ISW loading considers the effects of dynamic responses of floating structures. This model can simulate the action of various loading components on the floating… More >
