Article Abstract

We present a method of dimensional reduction for the general Markov model of sequence evolution on a phylogenetic tree. We show that taking certain linear combinations of the associated random variables (site pattern counts) reduces the dimensionality of the model from exponential in the number of extant taxa, to quadratic in the number of taxa, while retaining the ability to statistically identify phylogenetic divergence events. A key feature is the identification of an invariant subspace which depends only bilinearly on the model parameters, in contrast to the usual multi-linear dependence in the full space. We discuss potential applications including the computation of split (edge) weights on phylogenetic trees from observed sequence data.

Ampere-level electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (eNRA) offers a carbon-neutral alternative to the Haber-Bosch process. However, its energy efficiency is critically hampered by the inherent conflict between the reaction and diffusion. Herein, we propose a reaction-diffusion-coupled strategy implemented on a well-tailored CuCoNiRuPt high-entropy alloy aerogel (HEAA) to simultaneously realize energy barrier homogenization and accelerate mass transport, endowing ampere-level eNRA with a high energy efficiency.

Background: This study aims to analyze research trends and emerging insights into gut microbiota studies from 2015 to 2024 through bibliometric analysis techniques. By examining bibliographic data from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, it seeks to identify key research topics, evolving themes, and significant shifts in gut microbiota research. The study employs co-occurrence analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and burst detection analysis to uncover latent patterns and the development trajectory of this rapidly expanding field.

Numerous parameters influence the slotting performance of slotted cartridge, to facilitate rapid, efficient, and accurate predictions of the slitting performance, statistical analysis of PMMA blasting experiments with six different slitted cartridge parameters yielded 12 evaluation indicators. Subsequently, a principal component analysis (PCA) method was introduced to reduce the dimensionality of the data associated with these indicators, and three new comprehensive indicators were extracted for a comprehensive assessment of the slotting performance. The PCA scores ranked the influence of the six slotted cartridge parameters on slotting performance as follows: decoupling coefficient, slotting width, slotting angle, slotting tube thickness, slotting tube material, and charge amount.

Probabilistic Random Forest is an extension of the traditional Random Forest machine learning algorithm that is one of the frequently used machine learning algorithms employed for species distribution modeling. However, with the use of complex dataset for predicting the presence or absence of the species, It is essential that feature extraction is important to generate optimal prediction that can affect the model accuracy and AUC score of the model simulation. In this paper, we integrated the Genetic Algorithm Optimization technique, which is popular for its excellent feature extraction technique, to enhance the predictive performance of the PRF Model.

Confinement-Tailored High-Concentration Electrolytes in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Durable Lithium-Metal Batteries.

High-concentration electrolytes (HCEs) face inherent challenges such as high viscosity and diminished ionic conductivity caused by the formation of three-dimensional (3D) anion networks, which limit their practical applications. In this study, it is demonstrated that encapsulating HCEs within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) effectively disrupts these 3-D networks, resulting in significantly enhanced ionic conductivity. Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal a significant reduction in aggregates (AGGs)-state anion within MOF-confined electrolytes, confirming the reconstruction of the solvation environment.
