We study tree structures termed optimal channel networks (OCNs) that minimize the total gravitational energy loss in the system, an exact property of steady-state landscape configurations that prove dynamically accessible and strikingly similar to natural forms. Here, we show that every OCN is a so-called natural river tree, in the sense that there exists a height function such that the flow directions are always directed along steepest descent. We also study the natural river trees in an arbitrary graph in terms of forbidden substructures, which we call k-path obstacles, and OCNs on a d-dimensional lattice, improving earlier results by determining the minimum energy up to a constant factor for every [Formula: see text] Results extend our capabilities in environmental statistical mechanics.

Optimizing cryptographic protocols against side channel attacks using WGAN-GP and genetic algorithms.

This research introduces a novel hybrid cryptographic framework that combines traditional cryptographic protocols with advanced methodologies, specifically Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks with Gradient Penalty (WGAN-GP) and Genetic Algorithms (GA). We evaluated several cryptographic protocols, including AES-ECB, AES-GCM, ChaCha20, RSA, and ECC, against critical metrics such as security level, efficiency, side-channel resistance, and cryptanalysis resistance. Our findings demonstrate that this integrated approach significantly enhances both security and efficiency across all evaluated protocols.

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has emerged as the vector of choice for in vivo gene delivery, with numerous clinical trials underway for the treatment of various human diseases. Utilizing rAAV in gene therapy requires a highly precise quantification method to determine the viral genome titer and further establish the optimal therapeutic dosage for a rAAV product. The conventional single-channel droplet digital PCR (1D ddPCR) method offers only partial information regarding the viral vector genome titer, lacking insights into its integrity.

Photo-oxidation of methane (CH) using hydrogen peroxide (HO) synthesized in situ from air and water under sunlight offers an attractive route for producing green methanol while storing intermittent solar energy. However, in commonly used aqueous-phase systems, photocatalysis efficiency is severely limited due to the ultralow availability of CH gas and HO intermediate at the flooded interface. Here, we report an atomically modified metal-organic framework (MOF) membrane nanoreactor that promotes direct CH photo-oxidation to methanol at the gas-solid interface in a reticular open framework.

Fatigue driving is one of the potential factors threatening road safety, and monitoring drivers' mental state through electroencephalography (EEG) can effectively prevent such risks. In this paper, a new model, DE-GFRJMCMC, is proposed for selecting critical channels and optimal feature subsets from EEG data to improve the accuracy of fatigue driving recognition. The model is validated on the SEED-VIG dataset.

High-temperature and long-term sintering of β″-AlO solid electrolyte (Beta″ Alumina Solid Electrolyte, BASE) can easily cause NaO volatilization. It reduces the solid electrolyte (SE) quality, resulting in low ion conductivity of the electrolyte. It is also difficult to form uniform ionic channels.
