Water Resources Assessment and Management for Nuclear Power Plants in China
To deal with global warming and energy shortage, nuclear power plants are constructed or planning to be constructed in China presently. The operation of a nuclear power plant consumes a great amount of water and discharges a lot...
Spammer Group Detection Using Machine Learning Technology for Observation of New Spammer Behavioral Features
Recently, the rapid growth in the number of customer reviews on e-commence platforms and in the amount of user-generated content has begun to have a profound impact on customer purchasing decisions. To counter the negative...

Image-Based OA-style Paper Pop-up Design via Mixed-Integer Programming

Origami architecture (OA) is a fascinating papercraft that involves only a piece of paper with cuts and folds. Interesting geometric structures ‘pop up’ when the paper is opened. However, manually...

The different catalytic roles of the metal- binding ligands in human 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase
4‐Hydroxylphenylpyruvatedioxygenase (HPPD) is a non‐haem iron(II)‐dependent oxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of 4‐hydroxylphenylpyruvate (HPP) to homogentisate (HG). In the active site, a strictly conserved 2‐His‐1‐Glu...
The Online Betting Behavior of Sport Lottery Consumers
The sports lottery industry is growing globally, especially in the online betting market. This study focuses on online sports lottery behavior and tries to propose a framework applied in a virtual environment. Based on the...
Modelling the dynamics of an experimental host-pathogen microcosm within a hierarchical Bayesian framework.
The advantages of Bayesian statistical approaches, such as flexibility and the ability to acknowledge uncertainty in all parameters, have made them the prevailing method for analysing the spread of infectious diseases in human...
Boosting the efficiency of inverted quantum dot light-emitting diodes by balancing charge densities and suppressing exciton quenching through band alignment.
We report an inverted and multilayer quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) which boosts high efficiency by tuning the energy band alignment between charge transport and light emitting layers. The electron transport layer (ETL)...
Droplets passing through a soap film
Jun Zou, Wei Wang, Chen Ji, Min Pan
Jun 22, 2017
Here, we report an experimental study of droplets colliding with a soap film. The behavior of the droplet is found to be dependent on the impact velocity. The threshold for a droplet to pass through the soap film is influenced...

Cracking the enigma of mitochondrial-DNA variants and cancer.
Wei Wei, Patrick F Chinnery
Feb 12, 2020
A recent study by Yuan et al., [Ref. 11] published in Nature Genetics, demonstrated multidimensional molecular alterations of mitochondrial DNA in human cancers and provide an on-line catalogue of mitochondrial genomes in many...
Masks for COVID-19.
Sustainable solutions on fabricating and using a face mask to block the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread during this coronavirus pandemic of 2019 (COVID-19) are required as society is directed...
Hepatic Homeostasis of Metal Ions Following Acute Repeated Stress Exposure in Rats.
Essential metals such as copper, iron, and zinc are cofactors in various biological processes including oxygen utilisation, cell growth, and biomolecular synthesis. The homeostasis of these essential metals is carefully...
Optimisation for interconnected energy hub system with combined ground source heat pump and borehole thermal storage
Da Huo, Wei Wei, Simon Le Blond
Dec 01, 2018
Ground source heat pumps (GSHP) give zero-carbon emission heating at a residential level. However, as the heat is discharged, the temperature of the ground drops, leading to a poorer efficiency. Borehole inter-seasonal thermal...
Blow-up for the 3-dimensional axially symmetric harmonic map flow into <i>S<sup>2</sup></i>

We construct finite time blow-up solutions to the 3-dimensional harmonic map flow into the sphere S2, ut = ∆u + |∇u|2u in Ω × (0, T) u = ub on ∂Ω × (0, T) u(·, 0) = u0 in Ω, with u(x, t)...

Cell reprogramming shapes the mitochondrial DNA landscape.
Individual induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) show considerable phenotypic heterogeneity, but the reasons for this are not fully understood. Comprehensively analysing the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) in 146 iPSC and...

Biparental inheritance of mitochondrial DNA revisited.
Evidence for a biparental mode of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance has been sparse and remains controversial. Recent studies using a range of complementary techniques do not support paternal transmission of mtDNA, and...

Vortex coupling in trailing vortex-wing interactions
The interaction of trailing vortices of an upstream wing with rigid and flexible downstream wings has been investigated experimentally in a wind tunnel, using particle image velocimetry, hot-wire, force and deformation...
Optimal Borehole Energy Storage Charging Strategy in a Low Carbon Space Heat System

Domestic heating is the major demand of energy systems, which can bring significant uncertainties to system operation and shrink the security margin. From this aspect, the borehole system, as an interseasonal heating storage...
