    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.11, pp. 2909-2925, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.056536 - 30 November 2024

    Abstract Pineappleweed (Matricaria discoidea DC., Asteraceae) herb is an essential oil containing raw material with spasmolytic and anti-inflammatory activity. It is also rich in phenolics, which may be used in pharmaceutical practice. This study aimed to investigate the phenolic and amino acid composition and the hyporific and analgesic effects of the M. discoidea aqueous-ethanolic extract and its amino acid modifications. In addition, we developed a polyethylene oxide gel formulation with M. discoidea extracts for the 3D-printed oral solid dosage preparations. In M. discoidea extracts, 16 phenolic substances and 14 amino acids were established. The extract and its amino acid preparations More >

    Song Lu1, Jianjun Guo2, Richard Ansah Herman1, Xinyi Wu1, Lin Ma1, Guohua Wu1,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.6, pp. 1043-1055, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.051767 - 02 August 2024

    Abstract Silk is widely used in the production of high-quality textiles. At the same time, the amount of silk textiles no longer in use and discarded is increasing, resulting in significant waste and pollution. This issue is of great concern in many countries where silk is used. Hydrogen peroxide as a naturally occurring compound is an important indicator of detection in both biology and the environment. This study aims to develop a composite fiber with hydrogen peroxide-sensing properties using discarded silk materials. To achieve this goal, firstly, polydopamine (PDA) was used to encapsulate the ZnFeO NPs… More > Graphic Abstract

    Enhancing Exam Preparation through Topic Modelling and Key Topic Identification

    Rudraneel Dutta*, Shreya Mohanty

    Journal on Artificial Intelligence, Vol.6, pp. 177-192, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jai.2024.050706 - 19 July 2024

    Abstract Traditionally, exam preparation involves manually analyzing past question papers to identify and prioritize key topics. This research proposes a data-driven solution to automate this process using techniques like Document Layout Segmentation, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for topic modelling. This study aims to develop a system that utilizes machine learning and topic modelling to identify and rank key topics from historical exam papers, aiding students in efficient exam preparation. The research addresses the difficulty in exam preparation due to the manual and labour-intensive process of analyzing past exam papers to identify… More >

    Multiscale Simulation of Microstructure Evolution during Preparation and Service Processes of Physical Vapor Deposited c-TiAlN Coatings

    Yehao Long, Jing Zhong*, Tongdi Zhang, Li Chen, Lijun Zhang*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.3, pp. 3435-3453, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.051629 - 20 June 2024

    Abstract Physical Vapor Deposited (PVD) TiAlN coatings are extensively utilized as protective layers for cutting tools, renowned for their excellent comprehensive performance. To optimize quality control of TiAlN coatings for cutting tools, a multi-scale simulation approach is proposed that encompasses the microstructure evolution of coatings considering the entire preparation and service lifecycle of PVD TiAlN coatings. This scheme employs phase-field simulation to capture the essential microstructure of the PVD-prepared TiAlN coatings. Moreover, cutting simulation is used to determine the service temperature experienced during cutting processes at varying rates. Cahn-Hilliard modeling is finally utilized to consume the More >

    Xin Zou1, Jieyu Zhang1, Ting Cheng1, Yangyang Guo1, Xiao Han1, Han Liu1, Yuxing Qin1, Jie Li2, Dabing Xiang1,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.4, pp. 699-712, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.048469 - 29 April 2024

    Abstract To mitigate the wastage of seed resources and reduce the usage of pesticides and fertilizers, seed coating agents have gained popularity. This study employs single-factor and multi-index orthogonal experimental design methods to investigate the seed coating formula and physical properties of Tartary buckwheat. The specific effects of each component on Tartary buckwheat seed germination are analyzed. The findings reveal that the seed coating agent formulated with 1.5% polyvinyl alcohol, 0.15% sodium alginate, 0.2% op-10, 0.1% polyacrylamide, 8% colorant, 3% ammonium sulfate, 1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and 0.15% carbendazim exhibits the most effective coating. It demonstrates… More >

    Optimized General Uniform Quantum State Preparation

    Mark Ariel Levin*

    Journal of Quantum Computing, Vol.6, pp. 15-24, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jqc.2024.047423 - 24 April 2024

    Abstract Quantum algorithms for unstructured search problems rely on the preparation of a uniform superposition, traditionally achieved through Hadamard gates. However, this incidentally creates an auxiliary search space consisting of nonsensical answers that do not belong in the search space and reduce the efficiency of the algorithm due to the need to neglect, un-compute, or destructively interfere with them. Previous approaches to removing this auxiliary search space yielded large circuit depth and required the use of ancillary qubits. We have developed an optimized general solver for a circuit that prepares a uniform superposition of any N More >

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 705-723, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.044030 - 28 March 2024

    Abstract An experimental investigation into the thermal conductivity of CF-SiC two-phase composite asphalt concrete is presented. The main objective of this study was to verify the possibility of using SiC powder instead of mineral powder as the thermal conductive filler to prepare a new type of asphalt concrete and improve the efficiency of electrothermal snow and ice melting systems accordingly. The thermal conductivity of asphalt concrete prepared with different thermally conductive fillers was tested by a transient plane source method, and the related performances were measured. Then the temperature rise rate and surface temperature were studied More >

    On the Preparation of Low-Temperature-Rise and Low-Shrinkage Concrete Based on Phosphorus Slag

    Jianlong Jin, Jingjing Ding, Long Xiong, Ming Bao, Peng Zeng*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 803-814, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.027311 - 28 March 2024

    Abstract The effects of different contents of a MgO expansive agent and phosphorus slag on the mechanical properties, shrinkage behavior, and the heat of hydration of concrete were studied. The slump flow, setting time, dry shrinkage, and hydration heat were used as sensitive parameters to assess the response of the considered specimens. As shown by the results, in general, with an increase in the phosphorus slag content, the hydration heat of concrete decreases for all ages, but the early strength displays a downward trend and the dry shrinkage rate increases. The 90-d strength and dry shrinkage More > Graphic Abstract

    Preparation of Environmentally Friendly Urea-Hexanediamine-Glyoxal (HUG) Resin Wood Adhesive

    Qianyu Zhang1,2,#, Shi Chen1,2,#, Long Cao1,2, Hong Lei3, Antonio Pizzi4, Xuedong Xi1,2,*, Guanben Du1,2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.2, pp. 235-244, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.029537 - 11 March 2024

    Abstract Using non-toxic, low-volatile glyoxal to completely replace formaldehyde for preparing urea-glyoxal (UG) resin adhesive is a hot research topic that could be of great interest for the wood industry. However, urea-glyoxal (UG) resins prepared by just using glyoxal instead of formaldehyde usually yields a lower degree of polymerization. This results in a poorer bonding performance and water resistance of UG resins. A good solution is to pre-react urea to preform polyurea molecules presenting already a certain degree of polymerization, and then to condense these with glyoxal to obtain a novel UG resin. Therefore, in this… More > Graphic Abstract
