The magnetic acceleration noise (MAN) that stems from the eddy current dissipation of a test mass (TM) serves as an important source of noise for space inertial sensors. Given the problem that the eddy current dissipation magnetic acceleration noise (ECDMAN) of a cubic TM defies analytical solutions, an analytical model of ECDMAN for a spherical TM, which has the same volume as the cubic TM, is systematically derived on the basis of the principles of electromagnetism and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, and this model can be used as an approximate analytical model for the evaluation of this noise term. Based on the approximate analytical model, with the TM of the LISA Pathfinder (LPF) as the research object, this paper obtains a modification coefficient using the approach of combining the analytical method with the finite element method (FEM), and establishes a semi-analytical model of ECDMAN for the cubic TM.

Studies reported that MSI-H CRC generally had a better prognosis than microsatellite stable (MSS)/microsatellite instability-low (MSI-L) CRC, but some MSI-H CRC patients exhibited distinctive molecular characteristics and experienced a less favorable prognosis. In this study, our objective was to explore the metabolic transcript-related subtypes of MSI-H CRC and identify a biomarker for predicting survival outcomes.

In this case, the cross-correlated noise is modeled by the synchronous correlation of the observation noise of each sensor, and the observation noise of each sensor is correlated with the process noise at the previous moment. Meanwhile, in the process of state estimation, since the measurement data may be transmitted in an unreliable network, data packet dropout will inevitably occur, leading to a reduction in estimation accuracy.

Quantum computing technology may soon deliver revolutionary improvements in algorithmic performance, but it is useful only if computed answers are correct. While hardware-level decoherence errors have garnered significant attention, a less recognized obstacle to correctness is that of human programming errors-"bugs." Techniques familiar to most programmers from the classical domain for avoiding, discovering, and diagnosing bugs do not easily transfer, at scale, to the quantum domain because of its unique characteristics.

A new design for chiral photonic cellulose nanocrystal films was developed by co-assembling lanthanide-doped nanorods (NRs) into chiral cellulose nanocrystals, in which the photonic band gap (PBG) could be tuned in the visible range by changing the mass fraction of flexible agents, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and ethylene glycol (EG). Due to the PBG effect, the luminescence modulation in such nanocrystal films had been realized. The down-conversion luminescence from NaGdYF:5%Tb, 5%Eu NRs and up-conversion luminescence from NaGdYF:18%Yb, 2%Er NRs could be enhanced by 28 % and 18 % respectively, on account of the band edge effect.
