High-quality traveling waves in stators are critical for traveling-wave ultrasonic motors (TUSMs) to achieve good stability and efficiency. However, the modal splitting and shape distortion that is induced by the anisotropic elasticity induce severe traveling wave distortion. In this study, mode optimization based on kirigami is proposed to suppress modal splitting and shape distortion. Initially, the kirigami pattern on the inner boundary of the stator was built by linear interpolation. Subsequently, the optimization model for the orthogonal modes with even and odd nodal diameters was established. An extended Nelder-Mead Simplex Algorithm with the advantages of derivative-free and bound constraints was employed to search the solution. After optimization, the mode shape of the orthogonal modes with odd nodal diameters was much closer to the sine-style. For instance, the distortion of the B13 mode was significantly reduced to 0.003. Meanwhile, the intrinsic frequency matching was still retained after the optimization. In contrast, the optimization suppressed both the frequency splitting and shape distortion of the orthogonal modes, with even nodal diameters. For instance, the frequency splitting relating to the B14 mode was significantly reduced from 380 Hz to 1 Hz, and the shape distortion was as low as 0.004.

Accurately predicting algal blooms remains a critical challenge due to their dynamic and non-stationary nature, compounded by high-frequency fluctuations and noise in monitoring data. Additionally, a common issue in time-series forecasting is data replication, where models tend to replicate historical patterns rather than capturing true future variations, leading to inaccurate forecasts during abrupt changes. To address these challenges, we developed a hybrid deep learning model (TAB) that integrates a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), an attention mechanism, and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network.

The present study aimed to biosynthesize titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiONPs) using marine macroalgae Sargassum tenerrimum (ST) and ascertain its ability to impede biofilm formation, exopolysaccharide production and induce protein leakage in dental caries-forming Candida albicans. Characterization of ST-TiONPs by UV-Vis spectra recorded a sharp peak at 365 nm. FT-IR results showed active functional groups involved in stabilizing the ST-TiONPs.

This paper presents a novel multi-layer, dual-band antenna array designed for WLAN and X-band applications, incorporating several innovative features. The design employs a pentagon-shaped radiating element with parasitic strips to enable dual-band operation. A dual-transformed feed network with chamfered feed strip corners minimizes radiation distortion and cross-polarization while introducing orthogonal phase shifts to achieve circular polarization (CP) at the X-band.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder resulting from the production of distorted hemoglobin molecules that cause red blood cells to adopt a sickle or crescent-like shape. This disease affects millions of people, particularly those of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or South Asian descent. In recent years, however, advancements in the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing systems have surged.
