This process utilizes a hybrid of self-assembled covalent triazine framework and sodium lignosulphonate (CTF@LS) as a multifunctional precursor.

Instance-Specific Loss-Weighted Decoding for Decomposition-Based Multiclass Classification.

Multiclass classification problems are often addressed by decomposing them into a set of binary classification tasks. A critical step in this approach is the effective aggregation of predictions from each decomposed binary classifier to yield the final multiclass prediction, a process known as decoding. Existing studies have ignored the varying generalization ability of each binary classifier across different samples during decoding, potentially leading to suboptimal performance.

Amorphous FeSnO Nanosheets with Hierarchical Vacancies for Room-Temperature Sodium-Sulfur Batteries.

Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries, noted for their low material costs and high energy density, are emerging as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in various applications including power grids and standalone renewable energy systems. These batteries are commonly assembled with glass fiber membranes, which face significant challenges like the dissolution of polysulfides, sluggish sulfur conversion kinetics, and the growth of Na dendrites. Here, we develop an amorphous two-dimensional (2D) iron tin oxide (A-FeSnO) nanosheet with hierarchical vacancies, including abundant oxygen vacancies (Os) and nano-sized perforations, that can be assembled into a multifunctional layer overlaying commercial separators for RT Na-S batteries.

Interior-Confined Vacancy in Potassium Manganese Hexacyanoferrate for Ultra-Stable Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Metal hexacyanoferrates (HCFs) are viewed as promising cathode materials for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) because of their high theoretical capacities and redox potentials. However, the development of an HCF cathode with high cycling stability and voltage retention is still impeded by the unavoidable Fe(CN) vacancies (V) and HO in the materials. Here, a repair method is proposed that significantly reduces the V content in potassium manganese hexacyanoferrate (KMHCF) enabled by the reducibility of sodium citrate and removal of ligand HO at high temperature (KMHCF-H).

Towards Enabling Binary Decomposition for Partial Multi-Label Learning.

Partial multi-label learning (PML) is an emerging weakly supervised learning framework, where each training example is associated with multiple candidate labels which are only partially valid. To learn the multi-label predictive model from PML training examples, most existing approaches work by identifying valid labels within candidate label set via label confidence estimation. In this paper, a novel strategy towards partial multi-label learning is proposed by enabling binary decomposition for handling PML training examples.

Maximum Margin Multi-Dimensional Classification.

Multi-dimensional classification (MDC) assumes heterogeneous class spaces for each example, where class variables from different class spaces characterize semantics of the example along different dimensions. The heterogeneity of class spaces leads to incomparability of the modeling outputs from different class spaces, which is the major difficulty in designing MDC approaches. In this article, we make a first attempt toward adapting maximum margin techniques for MDC problem and a novel approach named M3MDC is proposed.

Sports experts' unique perception of time duration based on the processing principle of an integrated model of timing.

Background: Duration perception is an essential part of our cognitive and behavioral system, helping us interact with the outside world. An integrated model of timing, which states that the perceived duration of a given stimulus is based on the efficiency of information extraction, was recently set forth to improve current understanding of the representation and judgment of time. However, the prediction from this model that more efficient information extraction results in longer perceived duration has not been tested.

Selective Effects of Sport Expertise on the Stages of Mental Rotation Tasks With Object-Based and Egocentric Transformations.

It is well established that motor expertise is linked to superior mental rotation ability, but few studies have attempted to explain the factors that influence the stages of mental rotation in sport experts. Some authors have argued that athletes are faster in the perceptual and decision stages but not in the rotation stages of object-based transformations; however, stimuli related to sport have not been used to test mental rotation with egocentric transformations. Therefore, 24 adolescent elite divers and 23 adolescent nonathletes completed mental rotation tasks with object-based and egocentric transformations.

Transforming growth factor-β1 deteriorates microrheological characteristics and motility of mature dendritic cells in concentration-dependent fashion.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent and specialized antigen-presenting cells that play a crucial role in initiating and amplifying both the innate and adaptive immune responses. Tumor cells can escape from immune attack by secreting suppressive cytokines which solely or cooperatively impair the immune function and microrheological properties of DCs. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully defined.
