Oil-water separation is critical for the water treatment of oily wastewater or oil-spill accidents. The oil contamination in water not only induces severe water pollution but also threatens human beings' health and all living species in the ecological system. To address this challenge, different nan...

Broadly neutralizing antibodies such as 2F5 are directed against the membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of HIV-1 GP41 and recognize well-defined linear core sequences. These epitopes can be engrafted onto protein scaffolds to serve as immunogens with high structural fidelity. Although antibodi...

Abstract A suite of numerical experiments were conducted to investigate the sensitivity of the tropical cyclone (TC) motion—western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) intensity relationship to initial storm size. Two TC cases, Songda (2004) and Megi (2010), were studied. It was found that with the incr...

Various neuroimaging studies had identified changes of cerebral activity and structures during the processes of sexual arousal. The identified brain regions were also believed to regulate emotional and cognitive processes. Yet, little was known about the neural mechanisms underlying psychogenic erec...

Zero-shot object navigation is a challenging task for home-assistance robots. This task emphasizes visual grounding, commonsense inference and locomotion abilities, where the first two are inherent in foundation models. But for the locomotion part, most works still depend on map-based planning appro...

Iodine (I2) as a broad-spectrum antiseptic has been widely used for treating bacterial infections. However, I2 has low water-solubility and sublimes under ambient conditions, which limits its practical antibacterial applications. The highly specific and sensitive reaction between I2 and starch disco...

Abstract The thermal conditions of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) during spring are significantly related to climate changes on regional and hemispheric scales. The surface skin temperature over the TP in May exhibits an increasing trend over the northern and central‐western regions since the 2000s. This ...

A high-temperature-resistant linearly polarized single-frequency distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser is demonstrated by using a femtosecond laser and directly fabricating a pair of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) into an erbium-doped fiber (EDF). A high-reflection FBG with high birefringence prepare...

Training GNNs over large graphs faces a severe data processing bottleneck, involving both sampling and feature loading. To tackle this issue, we introduce F 2 CGT, a fast GNN training system incorporating feature compression. To avoid potential accuracy degradation, we propose a two-level, hybrid fe...
