摘要The occurrence of severe thalassemia,an inherited blood disorder that is either blood-transfusiondependent or fatal,can be mitigated through carrier screening.Here,we aim to evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of pre-conceptional and early pregnancy screening initiatives for severe thalassemia prevention in a diverse population of 28,043 women.Using next-generation sequencing(NGS),we identify 4,226(15.07%)thalassemia carriers across 29 ethnic groups and categorize them into high-(0.75%),low-(25.86%),and unknown-risk(69.19%)groups based on their spouses'screening results.Post-screening follow-up reveals 59 fetuses with severe thalassemia exclusively in high-risk couples,underscoring the efficacy of risk classification.Among 25,053 live births over 6 months of age,two severe thalassemia infants were born to unknown-risk couples,which was attributed to incomplete screening and late NGS-based testing for a rare variant.Notably,64 rare variants are identified in 287 individuals,highlighting the genetic heterogeneity of thalassemia.We also observe that migrant flow significantly impacts carrier rates,with 93.90%of migrants to Chenzhou originating from high-prevalence regions in southern China.Our study demonstrates that NGS-based screening during pre-conception and early pregnancy is effective for severe thalassemia prevention,emphasizing the need for continuous screening efforts in areas with high and underestimated prevalence.
摘要While the complexity of fifth-generation wireless networks is being widely commented upon,there is great anticipation for the arrival of the sixth generation(6G),with its enriched capabilities and features.It can easily be imagined that,without proper design,the enrichment of 6G will further increase system complexity.To address this issue,we propose the Agentic-AI Core(A-Core),an artificial intelligence(AI)-empowered,mission-oriented core network architecture for next-generation mobile telecommunications.In A-Core,network capabilities can be added and updated on the fly and further programmed into missions for enabling and offering diverse services to customers.These missions are created and executed by autonomous network agents according to the customer's intent,which may be expressed in natural language.The agents resolve intents from customers into workflows of network capabilities by leveraging a large-scale network AI model and follow the workflows to execute the mission.As an open,agile system architecture,A-Core holds promise for accelerating innovation and greatly reducing standard release times.The advantages of A-Core are demonstrated through two use cases.

摘要Ultraviolet(UV)nonlinear optical(NLO)crystals have received substantial interest in advanced laser technology.However,tailoring a UV NLO material with a large second harmonic generation(SHG)response and good UV transparency remains a challenge.Here,inspired by the classic A3-RE2-[BO3]3 parent template,two new rare-earth borate NLO crystals,RbNa2La2(BO3)3(RNLBO-Ⅰ)and Rb0.681Na2.319La2(BO3)3(RNLBO-Ⅱ),were extracted by merging larger ionic radius cations Rb+and La3+simultaneously using a chemical substitution-oriented strategy.As expected,both compounds achieve significant enhancements in SHG activities,reaching 4.5×and 4.3×KDP,respectively,exceeding three times that of the isomorphic Na3Gd2B3O9.Notably,RNLBO-Ⅰdisplayed the highest SHG response among alkali metal RE-borate NLO crystals containing isolated[BO3]groups in the short-wave UV region.Moreover,RNLBO-Ⅰand-Ⅱdemonstrated short UV cutoff edges at 213 and 207 nm,corresponding to wide bandgaps of 5.3 and 5.6 eV,respectively.Additionally,theoretical calculations and dipole moment analysis were conducted to clarify the origin of the enhanced SHG activities of RNLBO-Ⅰand-Ⅱ.The optimal balance between SHG intensity and UV transparency in RNLBO-Ⅰand-Ⅱunderscores their potential as UV NLO candidates and offers valuable insights for fabricating new advanced UV NLO materials.

摘要In Human–Robot Interaction(HRI),generating robot trajectories that accurately reflect user intentions while ensuring physical realism remains challenging,especially in unstructured environments.In this study,we develop a multimodal framework that integrates symbolic task reasoning with continuous trajectory generation.The approach employs transformer models and adversarial training to map high-level intent to robotic motion.Information from multiple data sources,such as voice traits,hand and body keypoints,visual observations,and recorded paths,is integrated simultaneously.These signals are mapped into a shared representation that supports interpretable reasoning while enabling smooth and realistic motion generation.Based on this design,two different learning strategies are investigated.In the first step,grammar-constrained Linear Temporal Logic(LTL)expressions are created from multimodal human inputs.These expressions are subsequently decoded into robot trajectories.The second method generates trajectories directly from symbolic intent and linguistic data,bypassing an intermediate logical representation.Transformer encoders combine multiple types of information,and autoregressive transformer decoders generate motion sequences.Adding smoothness and speed limits during training increases the likelihood of physical feasibility.To improve the realism and stability of the generated trajectories during training,an adversarial discriminator is also included to guide them toward the distribution of actual robot motion.Tests on the NATSGLD dataset indicate that the complete system exhibits stable training behaviour and performance.In normalised coordinates,the logic-based pipeline has an Average Displacement Error(ADE)of 0.040 and a Final Displacement Error(FDE)of 0.036.The adversarial generator makes substantially more progress,reducing ADE to 0.021 and FDE to 0.018.Visual examination confirms that the generated trajectories closely align with observed motion patterns while preserving smooth temporal dynamics.

摘要Urban flooding caused by extreme rainfall events disrupts transportation systems,yet generating realistic flood-traffic scenarios for disaster preparedness remains a labor-intensive manual process.This study proposes a Knowledge Graph(KG)-driven pipeline that automatically generates domain-specific training data for fine-tuning small language models(sLLMs)to synthesize urban flood-traffic scenarios.A domain KG comprising 58 entities and 285 relationships was constructed for Jinju City,South Korea,integrating empirical flood data from 112 local documents with quantitative rainfall-traffic impact values from 14 international studies.Nine domain constraint rules,including a novel spatial consistency rule,ensure the physical plausibility of generated scenarios.Through constrained weighted graph walks,800 semi-structured English narrative scenarios were automatically generated in approximately 5 min,substantially reducing the labor required compared to manual creation.Three sLLMs spanning different architectures and parameter scales—Flan-T5-Large(770M),Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct(3B),and Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct(7B)—were fine-tuned using QLoRA on a single GPU with 16 GB VRAM.Evaluation on 78 test samples demonstrated consistent performance improvements with increasing model scale:Qwen2.5-7B achieved BLEU-4 of 0.5524,ROUGE-L of 0.6883,BERTScore F1 of 0.9662,and KG Fact Consistency of 1.0000,representing a 33.8%BLEU-4 improvement over Flan-T5-Large.Both Qwen models achieved KG Fact Consistency of 1.0000.The 3B model achieved 98.6%of the 7B model’s BLEU-4 at 53%of the VRAM cost with identical factual consistency,representing the most cost-effective configuration.All models were trained for 10 epochs on the same GPU,demonstrating practical feasibility for municipal disaster response deployment.

摘要High-order harmonic generation(HHG)from a ZnO crystal has been investigated theoretically using a two-band model driven by a few-cycle laser pulse.We observe that harmonics in the cut-off region exhibit periodic frequency shifts with changes in the carrier envelope phase(CEP)of the laser field.When the CEP of the laser pulse is an integer multiple of π,the cut-off region is dominated by even-order harmonics rather than odd-order harmonics.To illustrate the physical mechanism behind the even-order harmonics,we track the trajectories of electrons and holes between two successive halfcycles by performing time-frequency analysis and applying the recollision model.The results show that the maximum electron displacement is symmetric between successive half-cycles for odd-order harmonics.In contrast,the half-cycle symmetry of the maximum displacement is broken in the case of even-order harmonics.

摘要The heterogeneity of macerals represents a key challenge to accurately evaluating the hydrocarbon generation potential of coal.Conventional methods often overlook these differences,leading to biased understanding of its hydrocarbon generation characteristics.Therefore,this study integrates maceral identification,thermal simulation experiments,and machine learning algorithms to develop the extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)prediction models for the yields of gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons.This approach enables enabling quantitative characterization of the hydrocarbon generation behavior of different macerals and identification of their primary controlling factors of coal in Xishanyao(J2x)Formation of Taibei Sag,China.The results indicate that the correlation coefficients of the prediction models for gaseous and liquid hydrocarbon yields are 0.98 and 0.78,respectively,and the difference in prediction accuracy between the two productions arises from differences in the primary controlling factors of hydrocarbon generation.SHAP and ANOVA analyses indicate that temperature is the primary controlling factor for gaseous hydrocarbon generation,whereas liquid hydrocarbon yields are synergistically controlled by temperature and macerals type.Among the macerals,sporinite is the favorable oil-prone component,while cutinite is characterized by“early oil and late gas.”Collotelinite is the principal gas-prone component,whereas collodetrinite and corpogelinite display relatively balanced potential for oil and gas.The differentiated hydrocarbon generation characteristics of the various macerals is essentially governed by differences in their molecular structures.The aliphatic chain structures primarily control oil generation,aromaticity governs gas generation,and bond types determine the distribution of the hydrocarbon generation window.Based on the above results,the study further delineates three types of favorable hydrocarbon-generating zones,namely Class Ⅰ and Class Ⅱ oil-gas co-generation zones and Class Ⅱ oil-generating zones.

摘要Lithium plating and gas evolution during fast charging of graphite-based lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)are among the pivotal challenges contributing to rapid capacity loss.However,the mechanisms underlying gas generation and corresponding mitigation strategies in electrolytes comprising mixed organic molecules and Li salts remain underexplored.Herein,we employed first-principles studies to simulate the lithiation process of electrolytes and predicted gas formation at anode interfaces with Li plating.Our results emphasize the critical role of Li salts in initiating solvent molecule decomposition and the exacerbation of interfacial degradation under conditions of elevated temperature and prolonged annealing,giving rise to the production of CO,C2H4,CH4,and H2,along with a significant increase in SEI's electronic conductivity.Moreover,our computations highlight that ethylene carbonate(EC)in commercial electrolytes is the overarching cause of interface instability and gas evolution.Experimental validations demonstrate that reducing the EC content in electrolytes results in an enhancement of the specific capacity of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2|graphite full cells from 158.13 m Ah/g to 182.53 m Ah/g,and an improvement in capacity retention from 72.0%to 80.4%over 130 cycling at 3 C.This research provides a theoretical framework for designing fast-charging electrolytes with stable interfaces and minimal gas generation.

摘要With their intricate vectorial structures in space,optical skyrmions have significantly expanded the landscape of topological optics and light-matter interactions.We theoretically investigate high harmonic generation in crystals driven by optical skyrmions.We find that although the skyrmion number is not conserved,the resulting high-order harmonics can exhibit a distinctive multi-vortex structure,whose features are shaped by both the topology of the optical skyrmions and the rotational symmetry of the crystal.The position of the vortex centers can be effectively tuned by employing different types of optical skyrmions.To elucidate the underlying physics,we develop a multi-absorption channel model based on the conservation laws of spin and orbital angular momentum.Our work explores the role of optical topology in extreme nonlinear light-matter interactions,offering new opportunities for the formation and manipulation of optical vortices and novel structured light fields in the visible and ultraviolet regimes.

摘要With the evolution of information technology toward more advanced intelligence and automation,Security Orchestration,Automation,and Response(SOAR)has become a critical foundation for security incident handling,owing to its intelligent orchestration capabilities.Security playbooks,as the core mechanism for automated response in SOAR,require well-designed workflows and precise action matching to ensure efficient and accurate alert handling.However,with the rising sophistication of attacks and the expanding scale of security alerts,traditional expert-driven playbook recommendation approaches often degrade in recommendation quality or completely fail when existing playbook repositories cannot adequately cover unknown or novel alert scenarios.Generative Adversarial Network(GAN)offers a promising solution by capturing feature associations from existing playbooks and autonomously generating validated new playbooks tailored to previously unseen alert characteristics.Motivated by this,we propose a logic-aware,two-stage GAN-based playbook generation method in this paper.In the first stage,alert features are projected into a modeled playbook feature space to perform preliminary similarity matching.In the second stage,a hybrid strategy combining similarity-based recommendation and GAN-driven generation is used to produce and refine playbooks while preserving logical workflow integrity.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach not only delivers high-precision playbook recommendations for known alert scenarios but also efficiently generates reliable playbooks for unseen alerts,achieving an average alert handling success rate of 86.55%,and thereby fulfilling response requirements in previously uncovered scenarios.

摘要High-order harmonic generation(HHG),a key nonlinear phenomenon in strong-field physics,enables ultrafast detection on the attosecond timescale.Quantifying ionizationecombination times is essential for trajectory-resolved highharmonic spectroscopy and for benchmarking its temporal resolution.In this review,we summarize our recent studies[Phys.Rev.A 105 L041103(2022),Phys.Rev.A 106023117(2022),Phys.Rev.A 107063102(2023),Phys.Rev.A111039902(2025)]on the role of electron-core interactions in HHG.Employing the classical trajectory model,analytical R-matrix theory,and numerical solutions of time-dependent Schrodinger equations for helium,we reveal how Coulomb attraction induces subtle shifts in ionization and recombination times.Such effects emerge as observable signatures under orthogonally polarized bichromatic fields at high probe frequencies.Because of the direct experimental relevance of these findings,this review seeks to stimulate further experimental efforts to control and resolve electron dynamics in HHG.In the future,it will be of great interest to(i)refine retrieval methods by incorporating Coulomb corrections beyond the staticfield approximation,and(ii)advance two-color detection techniques with the capability to reconstruct complete quantum trajectories in HHG.

摘要Electroosmotic transport and entropy generation play a decisive role in regulating efficiency,stability,and energy cost of non-Newtonian nanoblood flows in stenosed arteries,particularly with tapered geometries.Thisstudy develops a unified model to analyze ZnO-Williamson nanoblood flow through a stenosed artery with converging,diverging,and non-tapered configurations,incorporating electroosmosis,viscous dissipation,and entropy production.The arterial walls are assumed to be electrically charged with a no-slip condition to induce electroosmotic propulsionalong the endothelial surface.The partial differential equations are nondimensionalized to a coupled system ofnonlinear ordinary differential equations,which are solved numerically using a MATLAB-based shooting technique.Parametric investigation is conducted for Brinkman,Grashof,and Weissenberg numbers,ZnO fractional volume,volumetric flow rate,and Helmholtz-Smoluchowski velocity to quantify their influences on axial velocity,wall shearstress,impedance resistance,temperature distribution,entropy generation,Bejan number,and streamline topology.The axial velocity decreases radially with increasing Brinkman number for all arterial geometries.Increasing ZnOnanoparticles improves thermal transport owing to enhanced effective thermal conductivity but simultaneously elevatesentropy generation due to increased viscous dissipation.Higher Weissenberg numbers suppress entropy production bypromoting elastic stress redistribution and lowering shear-induced irreversibility.Impedance resistance decreases withincreasing stenosis height but increases with stenosis shape parameter and ZnO fractional volume.Streamline analysisshows that buoyancy and viscoelasticity significantly distort flow near the stenosis,while increasing electroosmoticvelocity stabilizes streamlines,suppresses recirculation,and reduces local shear stress and pressure fluctuations.Inconclusion,electroosmotic actuation is most effective in reducing flow resistance in the converging tapered artery,particularly at lower ZnO volume fractions.Overall,the findings highlight the potential of optimized electroosmoticactuation and controlled nanoparticle loading to minimize thermodynamic losses,regulate shear stress,and improveflow uniformity in stenosed vessels,with promising implications for electro-assisted drug delivery,nanotherapeutics,and bio-inspired vascular microfluidic systems.

摘要Thermomagnetic generation(TMG),a heat-to-electricity conversion technology based on the thermomagnetic effect,offers high reliability and broad adaptability to diverse heat sources.By exploiting the temperature-dependent magnetization of thermomagnetic materials,TMG converts thermal energy into electrical energy through cyclic changes in magnetic flux based on Faraday's law.The performance of TMG systems is largely governed by the intrinsic properties of the working materials and the design of device architecture.Ideal TMG materials exhibit sharp and reversible magnetization transitions near the operating temperature,low thermal hysteresis,and high thermal conductivity.Device configurations can be broadly categorized into active and passive systems:active TMG devices rely on controlled thermal cycling and optimized magnetic circuits for enhanced output,whereas passive devices utilize self-actuated mechanical motion to generate electricity.In this topical review,we provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in TMG materials and device configurations.Furthermore,we discuss future development trends and offer perspectives on experimental strategies to advance this field.

摘要The rapid developments of artificial intelligence have significantly impacted daily life and content production modes.In the field of video generation,researchers are now exploring this emerging technique with innovative approaches,aiming to produce videos of higher quality,longer duration,and greater diversity.Currently,numerous video generation algorithms have been developed using different architecture designs.Unlike image generation,video generation requires maintaining consistency across both spatial and temporal dimensions while ensuring aesthetic quality and dynamic coherence,making it a more challenging task.In this survey,we provide a systematic review of existing video generation methods,tracing their evolution across different architectural paradigms.We further categorize recent models by their control conditions(e.g.,text-to-video,image to-video,multi-modal guidance)and summarize their unique theoretical foundations,architectural designs,and algorithmic innovations.In the meantime,we review the commonly used video datasets and analyze their applicability to different tasks.We also present evaluations of representative models to offer a more comprehensive perspective.Our goal is to provide a clear and concise overview of these algorithms,offering insights to support future breakthroughs in video generation.
摘要Over the past decade,large-scale pre-trained autoregressive and diffusion models rejuvenated the field of text-guided image generation.However,these models require enormous datasets and parameters,and their multi-step generation processes are often inefficient and difficult to control.To address these challenges,we propose CAFE-GAN,a CLIP-Projected GAN with Attention-Aware Generation and Multi-Scale Discrimination,which incorporates a pretrained CLIP model along with several key architectural innovations.First,we embed a coordinate attention mechanism into the generator to capture long-range dependencies and enhance feature representation.Second,we introduce a trainable linear projection layer after the CLIP text encoder,which aligns textual embeddings with the generator’s semantic space.Third,we design a multi-scale discriminator that leverages pre-trained visual features and integrates a feature regularization strategy,thereby improving training stability and discrimination performance.Experiments on the CUB and COCO datasets demonstrate that CAFE-GAN outperforms existing text-to-image generation methods,achieving lower Fréchet Inception Distance(FID)scores and generating images with superior visual quality and semantic fidelity,with FID scores of 9.84 and 5.62 on the CUB and COCO datasets,respectively,surpassing current state-of-the-art text-to-image models by varying degrees.These findings offer valuable insights for future research on efficient,controllable text-to-image synthesis.
