Biological gene extraction path based on knowledge graph and natural language processing.

The continuous progress of society and the vigorous development of science and technology have brought people the dawn of maintaining health and preventing and controlling diseases. At the same time, with the update and iteration of bioinformatics technology, the current biological gene research has also undergone revolutionary changes. However, a long-standing problem in genetic research has always plagued researchers, that is, how to find the most needed sample genes from a large number of sample genes, so as to reduce unnecessary research and reduce research costs.

Investigation of anti-aging of SBS modified bitumen containing surface organic layered double hydroxide.

To improve the anti-aging ability of SBS modified bitumen (SMB), layered double hydroxide (LDH) organically modified by hexadecyltrimethoxysilane was prepared and utilized for the modification of SMB. According to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, hexadecyltrimethoxysilane has been grafted into LDH through chemical bonding. Compared with LDH, the hydrophilicity of organic LDH (OLDH) was obviously reduced, and OLDH possessed better dispersibility and stability in SMB, because of the decrease of hydroxyl and the introduced organo-functional groups on the surface of LDH.

SBS Modified Bitumen with Organic Layered Double Hydroxides: Compatibility and Aging Effects on Rheological Properties.

SBS-modified bitumen (SMB) is susceptible to aging, which seriously influences its service performance and life. In order to strengthen the anti-aging ability of SMB, triethoxyvinylsilane was designed to organically modify layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and was applied to modify SMB. The dispersibility and storage stability of LDHs in SMB were markedly enhanced after triethoxyvinylsilane organic modification, and the compatibility and storage stability of SBS in bitumen were simultaneously enhanced.

Biomedical word sense disambiguation with bidirectional long short-term memory and attention-based neural networks.

Background: In recent years, deep learning methods have been applied to many natural language processing tasks to achieve state-of-the-art performance. However, in the biomedical domain, they have not out-performed supervised word sense disambiguation (WSD) methods based on support vector machines or random forests, possibly due to inherent similarities of medical word senses.

Results: In this paper, we propose two deep-learning-based models for supervised WSD: a model based on bi-directional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network, and an attention model based on self-attention architecture.

Investigation of Molecular Structure and Thermal Properties of Thermo-Oxidative Aged SBS in Blends and Their Relations.

Tri-block copolymer styrene-butadiene (SBS) is extensively applied in bituminous highway construction due to its high elasticity and excellent weather resistance. With the extension of time, tri-block structural SBS automatically degrades into bi-block structural SB- with some terminal oxygen-containing groups under the comprehensive effects of light, heat, oxygen, etc. In this paper, the effects of aging temperature, aging time and oxygen concentration on the molecular structure of thermo-oxidative aged SBS were mainly investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the correlation between oxygen-containing groups and thermal properties (TG-DTG) was further discussed.

Investigation of γ-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy)propyltrimethoxy Silane Surface Modified Layered Double Hydroxides Improving UV Ageing Resistance of Asphalt.

γ-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy)propyltrimethoxy silane surface modified layered double hydroxides (KH560-LDHs) were prepared and used to improve the ultraviolet ageing resistance of asphalt. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) indicated that KH560 has been successfully grafted onto the surface of LDHs. The agglomeration of LDHs particles notably reduced after KH560 surface modification according to scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which implied that the KH560 surface modification was helpful to promote the dispersibility of LDHs in asphalt.
