Frequency-aware elastic prototype boundary learning for long-tailed scene graph generation

<title>Abstract</title> Scene graph generation (SGG) addresses the task of detecting objects in an image and predicting the relationships among them. Although prototype-based methods have recently achieved clear progress on long-tailed SGG, fine-grained low-frequency predicates r...

Pesticide residues in edible insects: sources, toxicological effects, analytical techniques and future prospects

With growing demand for sustainable protein sources, edible insects have gained attention for their high nutritional value and low environmental impact. However, in rearing systems that use agricultural by-products and organic waste as feed, pesticide residues may enter insects a...

Structural characteristics and mechanical properties of 2219 aluminum alloy DC A-TIG welding joints

Based on the direct-current active TIG welding（DC A-TIG welding）process of 2219 aluminum alloy, combined with engineering practice, three main parameters of welding current, welding speed, and rotation speed were selected for process testing. The significant changes in microstr...

The industry–energy–population triple transformation and its pathways to environmental sustainability

With global climate action lagging behind and record-breaking heat waves occurring with increasing frequency, China’s role in achieving the temperature control targets of the Paris Agreement has become increasingly critical. As the world’s largest carbon emitter, the pace, trajec...

Geometric optimization of cathode flow fields for large-scale planar SOFC stacks

Three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations are performed to investigate the cathode flow distribution in large-scale planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks. The calculations are based on models with different geometric configurations. The effects of sta...

Application of Proximity-Labeling Techniques in Plants: A Review of Successful Cases

Exploring protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks during cellular processes is critical for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes. PL (proximity labeling) is an emerging technique with the potential to be a powerful protein interactomics tool. It em...

Acid-InducedA-Site Regulation of Strontium-ContainingPerovskites for Carbonation-Resistant Zn-Air Batteries

Abstract Under air operation, Sr-containing perovskite cathodes lose activity mainly because the surface Sr species readily react with CO2, rather than because the intrinsic Co/Fe redox centers are insufficiently active. A mild acid treatment was introduced to selectively regulat...

Liquid-Phase Laser Micro-Dimple Texturing of YG8 Cemented Carbide Tools: Optimization, Wear Mechanism, and Cutting Performance

Cemented carbide is extensively applied in cutting tools. Surface laser micro-texturing alleviates tool surface wear and boosts cutting performance. This work adopts response surface methodology to investigate circular micro-texture parameters (diameter, spacing, offset) of YG8 c...

Built-In ElectricField-Driven Electron Extraction at the BaTiO3/CdS NanoparticleInterface for Enhanced Photocatalytic H2 Evolution

Abstract Nanocatalysts hold broad application prospects for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. CdS is a visible-light-responsive photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution, but its efficiency is limited by fast electron–hole recombination and insufficient interfacial charge extraction...

Quality Assessment in Frozen Seafood: Advances in Sensing Technologies and Artificial Intelligence

Frozen seafood plays an important role in the global food supply, but maintaining its quality during frozen storage and cold-chain distribution remains a significant challenge. Although freezing effectively slows microbial growth and enzymatic activity, it cannot completely preve...

High‐Pressure Homogenization in Food Processing: Mechanisms, Applications, and Industrial Translation

ABSTRACT High‐pressure homogenization (HPH), including ultra‐high‐pressure homogenization (UHPH) as its higher pressure subset, has evolved from conventional size‐reduction operations into versatile food‐processing platforms for emulsification, preservation, biopolymer restructur...

External‐Field‐Enhanced Helmholtz‐Layer Local Charge Density Enables C─C Coupling in Pure‐H 2 O‐Fed CO 2 Electroreduction To C 2+ Products

ABSTRACT Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (ECO 2 R) is a promising decarbonization technology but is limited by the trade‐off between catalytic performance and system stability. Here, we present an external‐field‐assisted strategy to enhance the local charge density of the Helmholt...
