AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A time domain surface integral equation (TD-SIE) solver is developed for quantum-corrected analysis of transient electromagnetic field interactions on plasmonic nanostructures with sub-nanometer gaps. "Quantum correction" introduces an auxiliary tunnel to support the current path that is generated by electrons tunneled between the nanostructures. The permittivity of the auxiliary tunnel and the nanostructures is obtained from density functional theory (DFT) computations. Electromagnetic field interactions on the combined structure (nanostructures plus auxiliary tunnel connecting them) are computed using a TD-SIE solver. Time domain samples of the permittivity and the Green function required by this solver are obtained from their frequency domain samples (generated from DFT computations) using a semi-analytical method. Accuracy and applicability of the resulting quantum-corrected solver scheme are demonstrated via numerical examples.

Article Synopsis
- The coal-breaking operation in underground mines generates substantial dust, negatively impacting air quality at the tunneling face, which poses risks for workers.
- This study investigates a pneumatic vortex fog curtain dust control system and its effectiveness in trapping respiratory dust, revealing a significant reduction in dust concentration to 2.5 mg/m under various conditions.
- The system shows that even with increased wind speed from auxiliary ventilation, it maintains effective dust suppression without compromising its performance, leading to improved safety and working conditions for miners.

Protein hydration plays a vital role in many biological functions, and molecular dynamics simulations are frequently used to study it. However, the accuracy of these simulations is often sensitive to the water model used, a phenomenon particularly evident in intrinsically disordered proteins. Here, we investigated the extent to which the choice of water model alters the behavior of complex networks of tunnels within proteins.

Article Synopsis
- All proteins are created in ribosomes through a process called translation, which involves four main stages: initiation, elongation, termination, and recycling.
- Peptide bonds are formed during the elongation phase, where transfer RNAs bring amino acids to the ribosome to build the protein one unit at a time.
- The text breaks down the lifetime of a nascent polypeptide in the ribosome into three stages, discussing how external forces affect the polypeptide's movement and interaction with the ribosome, highlighting gaps in current research on protein synthesis.

This paper proposes a three-step joint rate optimization method for intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted coal mine wireless communication systems. Different from terrestrial IRS-assisted communication scenarios, in coal mines, IRSs can be installed flexibly on the tops of rectangular tunnels to address the issues of signals being blocked and interfered with by mining equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the IRS deployment position, the transmit power and IRS phase shifts to achieve the maximum effective achievable rate at user stations equipped with the proposed system.
