The study mainly investigated the synergetic adsorption of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. To simplify the adsorption driving forces and binding sites, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic microdomain was introduced onto polypropylene (PP) nonwoven. The amphiphilic structure was constructed for the adsorption of bisphenol A (BPA). A solvent shielding experiment was conducted to calculate ...

Epidemic forecasting is the key to effective control of epidemic transmission and helps the world mitigate the crisis that threatens public health. To better understand the transmission and evolution of epidemics, we propose EpiGNN, a graph neural network-based model for epidemic forecasting. Specifically, we design a transmission risk encoding module to characterize local and global spatial effec...

The wireless in-band full-duplex (IBFD) technology can in theory double the system capacity over the conventional frequency division duplex (FDD) or time-division duplex (TDD) alternatives. But the strong self-interference of the IBFD can cause excessive quantization noise in the analog-to-digital converters (ADC), which represents the hurdle for its real implementation. In this paper, we consider...

We present the calculation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak (EW) corrections proportional to the Higgs trilinear self-coupling ($\lambda_{HHH}$) for Higgs boson plus one jet production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We use the method of large top quark mass expansion to tackle the most challenging two-loop virtual amplitude, and apply the Pad\'{e} approximation to extend the reg...

In this paper, we give several new approaches to study interior estimates for a class of fourth order equations of Monge-Amp\`ere type. First, we prove interior estimates for the homogeneous equation in dimension two by using the partial Legendre transform. As an application, we obtain a new proof of the Bernstein theorem without using Caffarelli-Guti\'errez's estimate, including the Chern conject...

Zero-shot stance detection is challenging because it requires detecting the stance of previously unseen targets in the inference phase. The ability to learn transferable target-invariant features is critical for zero-shot stance detection. In this work, we propose a stance detection approach that can efficiently adapt to unseen targets, the core of which is to capture target-invariant syntactic ex...

The accurate forecasting of infectious epidemic diseases is the key to effective control of the epidemic situation in a region. Most existing methods ignore potential dynamic dependencies between regions or the importance of temporal dependencies and inter-dependencies between regions for prediction. In this paper, we propose an Inter- and Intra-Series Embeddings Fusion Network (SEFNet) to improve...

To investigate the treatment and long-term outcome of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) after partial splenic embolization (PSE). From January 2006 to December 2011, 145 patients with hypersplenism caused by cirrhotic portal hypertension underwent PSE. In 11 cases, PVT was detected 13-42 days after PSE. Among the 11 patients, 5 underwent anticoagulant therapy because of clinical symptoms, and 6 did not...

Blood vessels in the mammalian skeletal system control bone formation and support haematopoiesis by generating local niche environments. While a specialized capillary subtype, termed type H, has been recently shown to couple angiogenesis and osteogenesis in adolescent, adult and ageing mice, little is known about the formation of specific endothelial cell populations during early developmental end...

The effects of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) on adverse birth outcomes remain unsettled. Maternal genetic variants in relation to DBP metabolism may modify this effect. Pregnant women during late pregnancy (n = 1306) were included from a Chinese cohort. Maternal urinary trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) was measured as a biomarker of DBP exposure. Maternal genotyping was conducted in cytochrome P450 2E...
