[Land Use Change and Ecosystem Service Value Measurement in the Peak Cluster Depression Basin in Southwest Guangxi Under Simulated Multiple Scenarios].

Simulating the changes in ecosystem service value induced by land use changes in the peak cluster depression basin of southwestern Guangxi under multiple scenarios is of great importance for ensuring ecological security in the basin and enhancing regional ecosystem service value capabilities. Based on the CA-Logistic-Markov model, the land use of the study area was simulated under natural development, food security, and ecological protection scenarios in 2030. The ecosystem service value was calculated under each scenario using the equivalent factor correction model, and the spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics of the ecosystem service value in the peak cluster depression basin of southwestern Guangxi were quantitatively analyzed.

Fine-Scaled Selection of Resting and Hunting Habitat by Leopard Cats () in a Rural Human-Dominated Landscape in Taiwan.

Wildlife is increasingly forced to live in close proximity to humans, resulting in human-wildlife conflict and anthropogenic mortality. Carnivores persisting in human-dominated landscapes respond to anthropogenic threats through fine-scaled spatial and temporal behavioral adjustments. Although crucial for conservation, quantitative information on these adjustments is scarce.

Colossal Room-Temperature Ferroelectric Polarizations in SrTiO/SrRuO Superlattices Induced by Oxygen Vacancies.

Artificial superlattices have demonstrated many unique phenomena not found in bulk materials. For this investigation, SrTiO/SrRuO paraelectric/metallic superlattices with various stacking periods were synthesized via pulsed laser deposition. A robust room-temperature ferroelectric polarization (∼46 μC/cm) was found in the superlattices with 2 unit cell (u.

ezGeno: an automatic model selection package for genomic data analysis.

Motivation: To facilitate the process of tailor-making a deep neural network for exploring the dynamics of genomic DNA, we have developed a hands-on package called ezGeno. ezGeno automates the search process of various parameters and network structures and can be applied to any kind of 1D genomic data. Combinations of multiple abovementioned 1D features are also applicable.

Emergent Ferroelectricity in Otherwise Nonferroelectric Oxides by Oxygen Vacancy Design at Heterointerfaces.

Introducing point defects in complex metal oxides is a very effective route to engineer crystal symmetry and therefore control physical properties. However, the inversion symmetry breaking, which is vital for many tantalizing properties, such as ferroelectricity and chiral spin structure, is usually hard to be induced in the bulk crystal by point defects. By designing the oxygen vacancy formation energy profile and migration path across the oxide heterostructure, our first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the point defects can effectively break the inversion symmetry and hence create novel ferroelectricity in superlattices consisting of otherwise nonferroelectric materials SrTiO and SrRuO.

Ultrahigh-Energy Storage Properties of (PbCa)ZrO Antiferroelectric Thin Films Constructing a Pyrochlore Nanocrystalline Structure.

In recent years, antiferroelectric materials have been attracting considerable attention as energy storage capacitors due to their potential applications in pulsed power systems. In this work, antiferroelectric PbCaZrO (PCZ) thin films were prepared chemical solution deposition and annealed using rapid thermal annealing. The microstructures of PCZ thin films were controlled annealing temperature, and the effects of microstructures on electric properties and energy storage performance were systematically studied.

The development of wireless sensor network for ECG monitoring.

The main problem we want to solve contains two subjects: The first one is the patient's pressure due to wired physiological signal estimation. With wireless sensor network technique, patients only need to carry a few small nodes, and then the physiological signal can be transmitted in the air. The other subject of the vital problem is that some protocols, like Bluetooth, provide a peer to peer wireless communication technique, but such peer to peer network may need a complex algorithm to find the best data transmission path.
