Named entity recognition (NER) plays a crucial role in the extraction and utilization of knowledge of ancient Chinese books. However, the challenges of ancient Chinese NER not only originate from linguistic features such as the use of single characters and short sentences but are also exacerbated by the scarcity of training data. These factors together limit the capability of deep learning models, like BERT-CRF, in capturing the semantic representation of ancient Chinese characters.

Using the first-principles method, a new structure of monolayer h-CSe was predicted, exhibiting good dynamical and thermal stability. The geometrical, electronic and optical properties of monolayer h-CSe are examined at the HSE level. Furthermore, the influences of the in-plane strain and layer number on the electric properties of the two dimensional h-CSe material are studied.

To identify laboratory diagnostic indicators of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), the present study established a HE diagnostic model to explore the diagnostic value of serum homocysteine, lactic acid, procalcitonin, and bile acid levels in HE identification. 371 patients with liver cirrhosis were selected as research objects, who were admitted to the Department of Hepatic Diseases, Affiliated Hospital of Northwest Minzu University from August 2019 to August 2020. The Spearman correlation results indicated that between lactic acid, procalcitonin, bile acid, serum homocysteine, and HE, the coefficients were -0.

More and more attractive applications of two-dimensional (2D) materials in nanoelectronic devices are being achieved successfully, which promotes the rapid and extensive development of new 2D materials. In this work, the structural and electronic properties of the V structure aluminum phosphide (V-AlP) monolayer are examined by density functional calculations, and its electronic properties under strain and an electric field are also explored in detail. The computation results indicate that it has good stability.

Article Synopsis
  • Group-IV monochalcogenides like GeSe and SnSe have potential for nanoelectronics, but only GeSe is a direct semiconductor, limiting options.
  • Various stable van der Waals heterojunctions were created by stacking these materials, with band gaps influenced by both the stacking order and the number of layers.
  • Five new direct semiconductors were identified, and their band gaps can be adjusted by applying biaxial strain, making them promising candidates for future nanoelectronic applications.

Background: Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) represents a reasonable functional and positional candidate gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD) as it is located under the linkage region of AD on chromosome 4q, and functionally is involved in the microglia-mediated inflammatory response and amyloid-β clearance. The -196 to -174 del polymorphism affects the TLR2 gene and alters its promoter activity.

Methods: We recruited 800 unrelated Northern Han Chinese individuals comprising 400 late-onset AD (LOAD) patients and 400 healthy controls matched for gender and age.

Background: Several genome wide screens and candidate gene studies have implicated the chromosome 12p13 locus as possibly harboring genetic variants predisposed to late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). Recently, the strongest significant association was reported for the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs11610206 on chromosome 12q13 in an independent genome-wide association study (GWAS) in Caucasians.

Methods: We investigated whether the SNP on chromosome 12q13 was associated with LOAD in a Han Chinese population.
