The time-resolved spectra of the air-breakdown plasma produced by the 1.06 microns beam of a Nd:YAG laser were investigated by using the time-delayed spectra and the spectral line evolution methods. The time evolutions of the short wavelength band and long wavelength band of the continuous spectra of the air-breakdown plasma have been measured. The result shows that the decay rates of both bands are slowing down 0.5 microsecond after the excitation of the plasma, and the attachment and the detachment of free electrons by O2 in the plasma could be the reason for this behavior. The results of the time-resolved measurements of the line spectra show that most of the line spectra have the evolution time longer than their lifetimes, and the evolutions of some line spectra take a fashion of "decay-grow-decay". We consider these evolution behaviors of the line spectra to be related to various recombination processes and the energy transfer processes of the decaying plasma.

The unknown boundary issue, between superior computational capability of deep neural networks (DNNs) and human cognitive ability, has becoming crucial and foundational theoretical problem in AI evolution. Undoubtedly, DNN-empowered AI capability is increasingly surpassing human intelligence in handling general intelligent tasks. However, the absence of DNN's interpretability and recurrent erratic behavior remain incontrovertible facts.

Coordination complexes are promising candidates for powerful electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction but challenges remain in favoring the kinetics behaviors through local coordination regulation. Herein, by refining the synergy of carboxylate anions and multiconjugated benzimidazole ligands, we tailor a series of well-defined and stable coordination complexes with three-dimensional supramolecular/coordinated structures. The coordinated water as potential open coordination sites can directly become intermediates, while the metal center easily achieves re-coordination with water molecules in the pores to resist lattice oxygen dissolution.

Strontium isotope (Sr/Sr) analysis with reference to strontium isotope landscapes (Sr isoscapes) allows reconstructing mobility and migration in archaeology, ecology, and forensics. However, despite the vast potential of research involving Sr/Sr analysis particularly in Africa, Sr isoscapes remain unavailable for the largest parts of the continent. Here, we measure the Sr/Sr ratios in 778 environmental samples from 24 African countries and combine this data with published data to model a bioavailable Sr isoscape for sub-Saharan Africa using random forest regression.

Increasing reports of chloroquine resistance (CQR) in Plasmodium vivax endemic regions have led to several countries, including Indonesia, to adopt dihydroarteminsin-piperaquine instead. However, the molecular drivers of CQR remain unclear. Using a genome-wide approach, we perform a genomic analysis of 1534 P.

The relationship between intra-specific and inter-specific patterns and processes over evolutionary time is key to ecological investigations. We examine this relationship taking an approach of focussing on the association between vegetation and floristic classifications, summaries of inter-specific processes, and intra-specific genetic structuring. Applying an innovative, multispecies, and standardised population genomic approach, we test the relationship between vegetation mapping schemes and structuring of genetic variation across a large, environmentally heterogenous region in eastern Australia.
