A novel multi-scale network intrusion detection model with transformer.

Network is an essential tool today, and the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can ensure the safe operation. However, with the explosive growth of data, current methods are increasingly struggling as they often detect based on a single scale, leading to the oversight of potential features in the extensive traffic data, which may result in degraded performance. In this work, we propose a novel detection model utilizing multi-scale transformer namely IDS-MTran.

Multicolor Emission in -Carborane Derivatives Induced by Conformation Diversity through C-C Double Bond Substitution.

Rationally designed molecules with versatile conformations are ideal candidates for creating challenging single component-based multicolor emissive materials. Herein, a new strategy is presented by introducing a C-C double bond in an -carborane derivative. Compared to a linear connection using a C-C triple bond (CbPyY), a C-C double bond connection (CbPyE) exhibited a zigzag structure and unique fluorescence behavior.

Decoupling the air sensitivity of Na-layered oxides.

Air sensitivity remains a substantial barrier to the commercialization of sodium (Na)-layered oxides (NLOs). This problem has puzzled the community for decades because of the complexity of interactions between air components and their impact on both bulk and surfaces of NLOs. We show here that water vapor plays a pivotal role in initiating destructive acid and oxidative degradations of NLOs only when coupled with carbon dioxide or oxygen, respectively.

Rapid Estimation of fwhm for OLED Emission Spectra Using Bond-Length and Bond-Order Alterations.

Color purity is crucial for achieving a high-quality organic light-emitting diode. An essential property for evaluating color purity is the full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of emission spectra. Theoretically estimating fwhm requires the detailed knowledge of vibronic coupling constants for all vibrational modes, which is time-consuming to obtain via quantum mechanical calculations, particularly for optimizing the geometry of the lowest singlet excited state.

Solvent Effect on Dative and Ionic Bond Strengths: A Unified Theory from Potential Analysis and Valence-Bond Computations.

Solvent molecules interact with a solute through various intermolecular forces. Here we employed a potential energy surface (PES) analysis to interpret the solvent-induced variations in the strengths of dative (MeNBH) and ionic (LiCl) bonds, which possess both ionic and covalent (neutral) characteristics. The change of a bond is driven by the gradient (force) of the solvent-solute interaction energy with respect to the focused bond length.

The microstructures and thermal and electrical properties of the composites were tested. The electrostatic potential distribution, energy level distribution, and molecular orbitals of BMI were calculated using Gaussian.

Adsorption Analyses of Phenol from Aqueous Solutions Using Magadiite Modified with Organo-Functional Groups: Kinetic and Equilibrium Studies.

Organically-modified magadiite (MAG⁻CTAB⁻KH550) was synthesized via ion-exchange method and condensation reaction in the presence of pure magadiite (MAG), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) in aqueous solution in this research.

Smelting reduction and kinetics analysis of magnetic iron in copper slag using waste cooking oil.

To improve the recovery of copper, the viscosity of copper molten slag is decreased by the reduction of magnetic iron, which, in turn, accelerates the settling and separation of copper droplets from the slag. A new technology is proposed in which waste cooking oil is used as a reductant to reduce magnetic iron in the copper smelting slag and consequently reduce carbon emissions in the copper smelting process. A kinetic model of the reduction of magnetic iron in copper slag by waste cooking oil was built using experimental data, and the accuracy of the model was verified.

Spiroketal-based diphosphine ligands in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination of Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts: exceptionally high efficiency and new mechanism.

Exceptionally high activity (with a TON up to 4750) of the palladium complexes of SKP ligand was discovered in the catalysis of asymmetric allylic amination of MBH adducts with aromatic amines. A comprehensive mechanistic study indicates that the unique structural features of the SKP ligand, with a long P···P distance in its solid-state structure, were favorable for allowing two P atoms to play a bifunctional role in the catalysis. Herein, one of the P atom forms a C-P σ-bond with the terminal carbon atom of allyl moiety as a Lewis base, and an alternative P atom coordinates to Pd atom.

A novel series colorimetric and off-on fluorescent chemosensors for Fe3+ based on rhodamine B derivative.

A novel series colorimetric and off-on fluorescent chemosensors (2a, 2b, 2c) were designed and synthesized, which showed reversible and highly selective and sensitive recognition toward Fe(3+) over other examined metal ions. Upon addition of Fe(3+), sensors (2a, 2b) exhibit remarkably and 2c exhibits moderate enhanced absorbance intensity and color change from colorless to pink in CH(3)OH-H(2)O(1:1, v/v). The three compounds (2a, 2b, 2c) may therefore be applicable as rhodamine-based turn-on type fluorescent chemosensors.
