摘要Extracellular matrix(ECM)constitutes a key basement structure to human organisms by acting as a complex network of large proteins and carbohydrates that provide structural support to surrounding cells.Remodeling in the ECM's structural fibers leads to insight into the development of diseases such as cancer,fibrosis,and carcinoma.Although standard tissue visualization in the ECM involves multiple lengthy histopathological staining protocols,Mueller-matrix-based polarimetry provides label-free tissue slices'microstructural information and optical properties.We aim to identify three types of fiber tissues commonly found in the ECM of gastrointestinal tissue specimens by analyzing their polarization properties.To address decomposition methods'reliance on restrictive hypotheses and inability with an individual polarization-based parameter to determine the nature of a given biological tissue,we employ the uniform manifold approximation and projection method to offer greater discriminative power and flexibility.Subsequently,polarization-based features will be extracted and compared among fiber regions statistically to discern potential diagnostic differences.By providing colorized images,we aim to demonstrate the feasibility of distinguishing different fibers with a polarization approach,offering insights for future clinical development while complementing existing staining methods for pathological tissue specimens.
摘要Wildfires have emerged as a significant global challenge,driven by rising temperatures,prolonged droughts,shifting precipitation patterns due to climate change,and human-induced land-use changes such as deforestation,urban expansion,and agricultural intensification.Their increasing frequency and severity threaten ecosystems,human health,infrastructure,and economic resources,necessitating effective prediction,detection,and management strategies.This review provides a comprehensive assessment of geospatial techniques and their integration with Artificial Intelligence(AI)and Machine Learning(ML)approaches for wildfire monitoring,mapping,and prediction.Various platforms,including ground-based observations,satellite remote sensing,and unoccupied aerial vehicles(UAVs),are evaluated for their capabilities and limitations.Traditional methods,such as visual observations and ground-based sensors,are discussed,highlighting constraints in spatial coverage,timeliness,and scalability.Satellite-based remote sensing,with its wide area coverage and multi-temporal data acquisition,enables the derivation of key fire-related parameters,including vegetation indices,land surface temperature,and burned area mapping.UAV-based systems complement satellites by providing high-resolution imagery and facilitating access to remote or hazardous locations,enhancing early detection and monitoring.Furthermore,the integration of AI/ML algorithms with multi-source datasets has revolutionized wildfire modeling,enabling more accurate fire prediction and risk assessment.The review also explores emerging challenges,including data heterogeneity,real-time processing requirements,and the integration of diverse data sources,while emphasizing the need for robust computational infrastructure and collaborative frameworks.Unlike previous reviews that focus on individual aspects,this study uniquely synthesizes multi-source geospatial datasets,advanced AI/ML techniques,and bibliometric co-occurrence analysis to identify research hotspots,knowledge gaps,and future directions.By providing a holistic framework for next-generation wildfire monitoring and risk assessment,this review contributes to the development of effective fire management strategies,promoting environmental sustainability,community resilience,and informed decision-making.

摘要The Gas Pixel Detector(GPD)is an instrument for measuring X-ray polarization of high-energy astrophysical sources,which is on board of Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer(IXPE)operating in the nominal energy range 2-8 keV.Photons with energies above 9 keV are characterized by a low-energy tail which includes fluorescence photons ejected by the copper present in the Gas Electron Multiplier.In this work,we study the capabilities of IXPE GPDs above 8 keV with Monte Carlo simulations,showing that with a proper selection of events,they could be used with a suitable sensitivity above 8 keV.Our work provides constructive guidance for the calibration and construction of next-generation X-ray gas polarimeters such as eXTP-PFA,POLAR-2/LPD,and CATCH/Type-c microsatellites.
摘要Heat exchangers play a crucial role in thermal energy systems,with their performance directly impacting efficiency,cost,and environmental impact.Apowerful technique for performance improvement can be given by passive enhancement strategies,which are characterized by their dependability and minimal external power requirements.This comprehensive review critically assesses recent advancements in such passive methods to evaluate their heat transfer mechanisms,performance characteristics,and practical implementation challenges.Our methodology involves a systematic and comprehensive analysis of various heat transfer enhancement techniques,including surface modifications,extended surfaces,swirl flow devices,and tube inserts.This approach synthesizes and integrates findings from a broad spectrum of experimental investigations and numerical simulations to establish a cohesive understanding of their performance characteristics and underlyingmechanisms.Based on the findings,passive heat transfer techniques result in significant improvements in thermal performance;for instance,corrugated and roughened surfaces increase the heat transfer coefficient by 50%–200%,and advanced insert geometries,such as modified twisted tapes,can increase it by more than 300%,typically accompanied by significant pressure-drop penalties.However,an important finding is the general trade-off between enhanced heat transfer and higher frictional loss,which requires optimization depending on the applications.Finally,this review also provides recommendations that will document the gaps of various passive techniques in heat exchangers to future address.

摘要With the increasing emphasis on personal information protection,encryption through security protocols has emerged as a critical requirement in data transmission and reception processes.Nevertheless,IoT ecosystems comprise heterogeneous networks where outdated systems coexist with the latest devices,spanning a range of devices from non-encrypted ones to fully encrypted ones.Given the limited visibility into payloads in this context,this study investigates AI-based attack detection methods that leverage encrypted traffic metadata,eliminating the need for decryption and minimizing system performance degradation—especially in light of these heterogeneous devices.Using the UNSW-NB15 and CICIoT-2023 dataset,encrypted and unencrypted traffic were categorized according to security protocol,and AI-based intrusion detection experiments were conducted for each traffic type based on metadata.To mitigate the problem of class imbalance,eight different data sampling techniques were applied.The effectiveness of these sampling techniques was then comparatively analyzed using two ensemble models and three Deep Learning(DL)models from various perspectives.The experimental results confirmed that metadata-based attack detection is feasible using only encrypted traffic.In the UNSW-NB15 dataset,the f1-score of encrypted traffic was approximately 0.98,which is 4.3%higher than that of unencrypted traffic(approximately 0.94).In addition,analysis of the encrypted traffic in the CICIoT-2023 dataset using the same method showed a significantly lower f1-score of roughly 0.43,indicating that the quality of the dataset and the preprocessing approach have a substantial impact on detection performance.Furthermore,when data sampling techniques were applied to encrypted traffic,the recall in the UNSWNB15(Encrypted)dataset improved by up to 23.0%,and in the CICIoT-2023(Encrypted)dataset by 20.26%,showing a similar level of improvement.Notably,in CICIoT-2023,f1-score and Receiver Operation Characteristic-Area Under the Curve(ROC-AUC)increased by 59.0%and 55.94%,respectively.These results suggest that data sampling can have a positive effect even in encrypted environments.However,the extent of the improvement may vary depending on data quality,model architecture,and sampling strategy.

摘要Water electrolysis is pivotal for converting renewable energy into clean hydrogen fuel,addressing global energy demand sustainably.However,the development of highly efficient and cost-effective catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)remains a significant challenge,particularly at the industrial scale.This report explores a newly discovered pathway,the oxide path mechanism(OPM) for OER-mechanism involving the oxide formation and evolution during the reaction,emphasizing its potential to overcome existing limitations.OPM enables direct O-O coupling without oxygen vacancies,offering superior stability.We detail both classical and innovative in-situ characterization techniques that are central to unraveling the OER mechanism.The advanced in-situ electrochemical techniques,such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and Mössbauer spectroscopy,coupled with in-situ structural analyses,provide crucial insights into the catalyst surface,the electrode-electrolyte interface and the kinetics of OER.This review provides a systematic analysis integrating classical electrochemical methods with advanced in-situ/operando techniques,specifically focusing on understanding OPM.While numerous studies have examined individual characterization methods,this study systematically integrates traditional electrochemical approaches with in-situ and operando techniques,offering critical insights into their complementary roles in elucidating reaction pathways.The integration of these methodologies provides unprecedented understanding of catalyst behavior under operational conditions,guiding the rational design of next-generation OER catalysts.Furthermore,we discuss essential standardized test toolkits and protocols,such as those for rotating disk electrode and membrane electrode assembly,which are vital for ensuring reproducibility and scalability in OER catalyst research.
摘要AIM:To compare the visual outcomes,refractive predictability,and complication rates associated with scleral-fixated intraocular lens(IOL)implantation using the modified Yamane and Z-suture techniques in aphakic patients lacking adequate capsular support.METHODS:This retrospective study included aphakic patients who underwent scleral-fixated IOL implantation between 2017 and 2024.Patients were divided into two groups:Group 1 received the modified Yamane technique,while Group 2 underwent fixation using the Z-suture technique.Best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA,LogMAR),spherical equivalent(SE),cylindrical error(CE),corneal astigmatism(CA),mean absolute error(MAE),and postoperative complications were assessed.RESULTS:Totally 101 aphakic patients(mean age 72.6±10.7 y)were included.Group 1 included 22 males and 19 females,with a mean age of 72.1±11.0 y.Group 2 included 35 males and 25 females,with a mean age of 73.0±10.5 y.At 1 mo postoperatively,the BCVA in Group 1 was significantly better than that in Group 2,0.49±0.21 vs 0.66±0.17 LogMAR,P=0.02.By month 6,BCVA was comparable between groups(0.38±0.19 vs 0.41±0.20 LogMAR,P>0.05).No statistically significant differences were observed in SE,CE,or CA at any time point(all P>0.05).MAE was slightly lower in Group 1 at both 1(0.72±0.80 vs 0.80±0.64 D)and 6 mo(0.63±0.41 vs 0.72±0.33 D),although these differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Overall complication rates were similar;however,haptic dislocation was significantly more common in the Yamane group(P=0.025).CONCLUSION:Both the modified Yamane and Z-suture techniques are safe and effective options for secondary IOL implantation in aphakic eyes lacking adequate capsular support.The Yamane technique demonstrates faster visual recovery and slightly improved refractive predictability in the short term,while long-term outcomes are comparable between the two methods.

摘要Based on analyzing the storage structure of polarimetric interferometry synthetic aperture radar(Pol-InSAR)data,this study proposed a multi-core parallel Pol-InSAR data processing method(MCP-PIDPM).In order to improve the processing speed of Pol-InSAR data,this paper presented a multi-core parallel Pol-InSAR data processing scheme,and constructed its processing framework in the research.The key technology of the multi-core parallel Pol-InSAR data processing was discussed,a buffer detection splitting method for Pol-InSAR image was proposed,and improved the self-adaptive phase unwrapping method.At last,a multi-core parallel Pol-InSAR data processing system(MCP-PIDPS)was developed,and the proposed MCP-PIDPM method was tested and validated through experiments.The system based on the above method assigns tasks and loads reasonably to each processor and uses space to exchange time.It is proved by numerical experiments that the efficiency of Pol-InSAR data processing is increased by more than 10 times.The research breaks through the bottleneck which restricts the efficient application of Pol-InSAR,and provides a feasible solution for the efficient processing of Pol-InSAR data.
摘要The most common aspect of water conveyance tunnel construction is the use of horizontal and sub-horizontal exploration drilling of headings of a tunnel to predict geology and groundwater conditions.The instability of boreholes,extreme loss of circulation,and high-head inflow are also common in fractured strata,which often inhibit completion of probe holes and the reliability of coring,packer testing,and grouting tests.Casing,consequently,is a significant enabling technology to stabilize fractured intervals and has a hydraulic isolation under coupled mechanical and hydrogeological disturbances.The review is a synthesis of research and engineering experience on methods of casing to be used in horizontal drilling of fractured rock masses used in the exploration of water conveyance tunnels.The geological and working environment is initially outlined with a focus on fracture-adaptable instability processes and the special goings on of underground drilling,such as the restricted workspace,cuttings difficult to move,and fast movement of the competent and crushed regions.Types of casing systems are then listed,including both standard threaded steel strings and telescopic programs,and more specialized casing system types,including expandable casing,swellable sealing elements,and external casing packers.Special focus is made on the sealing of annulus in horizontal holes,wherein slurry loss,gravity segregation,and non-uniform borehole geometry usually worsen isolation.Lastly,the article suggests adaptive choice of strategy according to real-time drilling reaction,and research priorities,such as tunnel-specific performance measurements,coupled hydro-mechanical modelling,and field trials of sophisticated sealing material and data-driven choice making.
