Reconstruction of vibration noise in plate structures based on Data-Physics driven model and transfer learning.

The identification of vibration and reconstruction of sound fields of plate structures are important for understanding the vibroacoustic characteristics of complex structures. This paper presents a data-physics driven (DPD) model integrated with transfer learning (DPDT) for high-precision identification and reconstruction of vibration and noise radiation of plate structures. The model combines the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation with convolutional neural networks, leveraging physical information to reduce the need for extensive data.

Estimating in vivo power deposition density in thermotherapies based on ultrasound thermal strain imaging.

In thermal therapies, accurate estimation of in-tissue power deposition density (PDD) is essential for predicting temperature distributions over time or regularizing temperature imaging. Based on our previous work on ultrasound thermometry, namely, multi-thread thermal strain imaging (MT-TSI), this work develops an in vivo PDD estimation method. Specifically, by combining the TSI model infinitesimal echo strain filter with the bio-heat transfer theory (the Pennes equation), a finite-difference time-domain model is established to allow online extraction of the PDD.

Population pharmacokinetics and pulmonary modeling of eravacycline and the determination of microbiological breakpoint and cutoff of PK/PD.

Integrated Two-in-one Strategy for Efficient Neutral Hydrogen Peroxide Electrosynthesis via Phosphorous Doping in 2D Mesoporous Carbon Carriers.

Herein, we demonstrate a two-in-one strategy for efficient neutral electrosynthesis of H2O2 via two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e-ORR), achieved by synergistically fine-modulating both the local microenvironment and electronic structure of indium (In) single atom (SA) sites. Through a series of finite elemental simulations and experimental analysis, we highlight the significant impact of phosphorous (P) doping on an optimized 2D mesoporous carbon carrier, which fosters a favorable microenvironment by improving the mass transfer and O2 enrichment, subsequently leading to an increased local pH levels. Consequently, an outstanding 2e-ORR performance is observed in neutral electrolytes, achieving over 95% selectivity for H2O2 across a broad voltage range of 0.
