Generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) focuses on recognizing seen and unseen classes against domain shift problem where data of unseen classes may be misclassified as seen classes. However, existing GZSL is still limited to seen domains. In the current work, we study cross-domain GZSL (CDGZSL) which addresses GZSL towards unseen domains.

This study investigates the effect of hybrid nanocarbon (graphene nanosheet (GNS) and carbon nanotube (CNT)) reinforcements on the properties of magnesium (Mg) matrix composites. Specifically, the GNS-CNT hybrid, which forms a three-dimensional interconnected network structure, was analyzed and compared to composites reinforced with only GNSs or CNTs.

Direct and highly selective conversion of formaldehyde to multicarbon (C) products is a highly desirable but challenging approach to synthesize carbohydrate precursors. In this study, we investigated the use of environmentally friendly imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs)-NHC to promote formaldehyde coupling under a base-free condition. The highly selective conversion of formaldehyde into glycolaldehyde precursor (GP) and dihydroxyacetone precursor was achieved through a one-pot, two-step process with [BHMIm][OAc] as a crucial intermediate.

Applying compound and organic fertilizers is an effective measure to enhance soil fertility and promote plant production. To demonstrate how compound fertilizer (CF) decrement and application of silkworm excrement organic fertilizer (SEOF) effect on soil quality, bamboo shoot yield and quality of Moso bamboo plantations, six CF decrement treatments (0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, and 100 % SEOF substitution, and no fertilization) were examined in our study.

Heavy use of chemical fertilizers and cover cultivation to produce off-season bamboo shoots results in soil degradation and a decline in soil productivity. This paper introduces an amino acid fertilizer, fish protein fertilizer, to replace a portion of chemical fertilizer, investigating the effects of different fertilizer combinations on bamboo growth, shoot yield, and soil properties, clarifying the growth-promoting mechanism of amino acid fertilizer.

Solving slope stability problems requires determining the critical slip surface (CSS) of a slope and its corresponding minimum factor of safety (Min. F), and determining the CSS is a complex optimisation problem. In this paper, we propose a real-coded binary composite crossover genetic algorithm (RGA-BCC) to locate the CSSs of slopes.

Image fusion technology had been widely applied in image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for prostate cancer (PCa) based on the gold fiducial mark (GFM). Image fusion technology included the fusion of CT image, magnetic resonance image, and ultrasound image internally or externally. The application of image fusion technology had improved the identification accuracy of GFM and was helpful for the plan design of PCa radiotherapy.

Sensor nodes are widely distributed in the Internet of Things and communicate with each other to form a wireless sensor network (WSN), which plays a vital role in people's productivity and life. However, the energy of WSN nodes is limited, so this paper proposes a two-layer WSN system based on edge computing to solve the problems of high energy consumption and short life cycle of WSN data transmission and establishes wireless energy consumption and distance optimization models for sensor networks. Specifically, we propose the optimization objective of balancing load and distance factors.

Here, DBALM (NA rcodes-eaf orphology), a new approach that combines DNA barcoding data with micromorphological features of the leaf epidermis and that is not limited by the flowering stage, was used to identify 16 evergreen rhododendron cultivars. First, the sequences of DNA barcodes, ITS, , , and , were obtained from the DNA of leaves.

With the rapid increase of smart Internet of Things (IoT) devices, edge networks generate a large number of computing tasks, which require edge-computing resource devices to complete the calculations. However, unreasonable edge-computing resource allocation suffers from high-power consumption and resource waste. Therefore, when user tasks are offloaded to the edge-computing system, reasonable resource allocation is an important issue.

The catalyst features a 1D nanostructure with MoS nanoclusters uniformly dispersed along the MnCdS nanorod. It was found that an intimate interface is built between MoS nanoclusters and MnCdS nanorods thanks to the facile in situ photoreduction route, which contributes to a high-efficiency interfacial charge separation.
