  • This V-HTR has been used to create a ternary neural network that efficiently eliminates fuzzy data and outputs clear results, showcasing its potential as a fundamental hardware unit for future ternary computing applications.

Article Abstract

Compared with binary systems, ternary computing systems can utilize fewer devices to realize the same information density. However, most ternary computing systems based on binary CMOS circuits require additional devices to bridge binary processing and ternary computing. Exploring new device architectures for direct ternary processing and computing becomes the key to promoting ternary computing systems. Here, we demonstrated a 2D van der Waals vertical heterojunction transistor (V-HTR) with three flat conductance states, which can be the basic cell in ternary circuits to perform ternary processing and computing, without additional devices. A ternary neural network (TNN) and a ternary inverter were demonstrated based on the V-HTRs. The TNN can eliminate fuzzy data and output only clear data by building a ternary quantization function. By demonstrating both ternary logic and a TNN on the same device architecture, the 2D V-HTR shows potential as a basic hardware unit for future ternary computing systems.

Surface active ionic liquids (SAILs), offer potential advantages for pharmaceutical applications. Given the low permeability of gabapentin, an antiepileptic drug, in the gastrointestinal tract as classified by the Biopharmaceutics Classification Systems (BCS), understanding the micellization behavior of SAILs is essential for developing effective drug delivery systems to improve gabapentin bioavailability. This study explores the micellization and thermophysical behavior of SAILs (2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium laurate [2-HEA][Lau], bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium laurate [BHEA][Lau], and tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium laurate [THEA][Lau] in the presence of aqueous gabapentin solution at varied temperatures through COSMO analysis, electrical conductivity and surface tension measurements.

Relation extraction independently verifies all entity pairs in a sentence to identify predefined relationships between named entities. Because these entity pairs share the same contextual features of a sentence, they lead to a complicated semantic structure. To distinguish semantic expressions between relation instances, manually designed rules or elaborate deep architectures are usually applied to learn task-relevant representations.
