Distant Supervised Relation Extraction with Cost-Sensitive Loss

Recently, many researchers have concentrated on distant supervision relation extraction (DSRE). DSRE has solved the problem of the lack of data for supervised learning, however, the data automatically labeled by DSRE has a serious problem, which is class imbalance. The data from the majority class obviously dominates the dataset, in this case, most neural network classifiers will have a strong bias towards the majority class, so they cannot correctly classify the minority class. Studies have shown that the degree of separability between classes greatly determines the performance of imbalanced data. Therefore, in this paper we propose a novel model, which combines class-to-class separability and cost-sensitive learning to adjust the maximum reachable cost of misclassification, thus improving the performance of imbalanced data sets under distant supervision. Experiments have shown that our method is more effective for DSRE than baseline methods.

Enzymatic Responses to Low-Intensity Radiation of Tritium

The present study considers a possible role of enzymatic reactions in the adaptive response of cells to the beta-emitting radionuclide tritium under conditions of low-dose exposures. Effects of tritiated water (HTO) on the reactions of bacterial luciferase and NAD(P)H:FMN-oxidoreductase, as well as a coupled system of these two reactions, were studied at radioactivity concentrations ≤ 200 MBq/L. Additionally, one of the simplest enzymatic reactions, photobiochemical proton transfer in Coelenteramide-containing Fluorescent Protein (CLM-FP), was also investigated. We found that HTO increased the activity of NAD(P)H:FMN-oxidoreductase at the initial stage of its reaction (by up to 230%); however, a rise of luciferase activity was moderate (<20%). The CLM-FP samples did not show any increase in the rate of the photobiochemical proton transfer under the exposure to HTO. The responses of the enzyme systems were compared to the ‘hormetic’ response of luminous marine bacterial cells studied earlier. We conclude that (1) the oxidoreductase reaction contributes significantly to the activation of the coupled enzyme system and bacterial cells by tritium, and (2) an increase in the organization level of biological systems promotes the hormesis phenomenon.     

MW级空间核反应堆系统热管式辐射散热器分析及优化

空间核反应堆是空间核电源和核推进的研究基础，大功率核反应堆的体积和质量一直是限制航空航天设计的重要因素。针对这一问题，本文对MW级空间核反应堆系统热管式辐射散热器进行建模和分析，建立热管式辐射散热器的热阻模型，利用穷举法和遗传算法在给定工况下探讨裸碳纤维翅片长度L_f和厚度δ_f、冷却剂质量流量m、辐射散热器入口温度T_f1对散热器质量M的影响。结果表明，当T_f1＝800 K、L_f＝5 cm、δ_f＝0.16 mm、m＝9 kg/s时，M达到最优，为906.593 kg，优化了0.63%的系统质量。     

铁酸镧B位掺Mn/Co/Cr试样的红外辐射性能与机理

采用高温固相烧结法制备了粉体材料LaFeO₃、LaFe_0.75Co_0.25O₃、LaFe_0.75Cr_0.25O₃和LaFe_0.75Mn_0.25O₃，通过XRD、FTIR、SEM、XPS等检测手段对材料进行表征，同时运用CASTEP模块模拟计算了材料的电子能带结构和光学性质。实验结果表明：掺入Mn/Cr/Co离子后晶格发生畸变,晶格对称性降低。Mn/Cr/Co掺杂后的粉体材料在近中红外波段发射率排序为：掺Mn>掺Co>掺Cr>纯LaFeO₃，其中掺Mn在0.2～2.5μm波段为0.8722，2.5～5μm波段为0.6755，远大于纯LaFeO₃的发射率（近中红外波段发射率均为0.5左右）。发射率提升的机理在于：Mn掺杂后,引入了Mn³⁺杂质能级，产生了激活能小的Mn³⁺?Mn⁴⁺跳跃小极化子，电子-氧空位载流子吸收亦增强，同时体系的晶格畸变导致振动吸收加剧。第一性原理计算结果表明掺杂Mn/Cr/Co材料的禁带宽度分别0.793eV、2.406eV、1.722eV均小于纯LaFeO₃的3.817eV，结合态密度计算结果分析其原因，主要Mn3d、Cr3d、Co3d轨道与O2p轨道杂化形成杂质能级，同时Mn3d、Cr3d、Co3d在导带也存在态密度峰，且峰的位置都比LaFeO₃峰更靠近费米能级，作为新的导带底相当于缩短了价带顶到导带底之间的间隙宽度。LaFe_0.75Mn_0.25O₃材料在近中红外波段的优异辐射性能表现，可作为耐高温抗氧化高发射率材料在高温热工炉窑具有潜在应用前景。     

Economy supervision mode of electricity market and its incentive mechanism

The analysis of a supervision environment is the first step for a company to enter the new electricity market. Transmission and distribution assets are the main investment targets of a company. The overseas power market belongs to the regulated industry; whether it is a stock M&A project or a green land bidding project, the regulatory environment determines the assets. The level of return and investment risk that guides the operation strategy of existing overseas assets, has a significant impact on the investment and operations of international companies. A comprehensive and rapid assessment of the regulatory environment can help the project teams of international companies understand the macroenvironment of the target electricity market within a short period, quickly identify investment risks, qualitatively analyze the return level of the underlying assets, shorten the decision time, capture investment opportunities, and enhance the team. Efficiency and quality of work are factors of great importance.     

Second order velocity slip and thermal jump of Cu–water nanofluid over a cone in the presence of nonlinear radiation and nonuniform heat source/sink using homotopy analysis method

The purpose of the present paper is to explore the second order slip effects on nanofluid flow over a vertical cone. The effects of nonlinear thermal radiation and nonuniform heat source/sink are also taken into account. Water with copper nanoparticles is used as nanofluid in this investigation. The governing partial differential equations for the flow are converted into ordinary differential equations by using transformations and then are solved using homotopy analysis method. The influence of various important parameters on velocity, temperature, skin‐friction, and Nusselt number are presented through graphs. Results indicate that the velocity and magnitude of skin friction decrease with a rise in first and second order velocity slips. A raise in either first or second order temperature jump causes a fall in temperature. Nonlinear radiation increases the more rapidly when compared to the linear radiation case.     

Effects of Different Short-Term UV-B Radiation Intensities on Metabolic Characteristics of Porphyra haitanensis

The effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly UV-B on algae, have become an important issue as human-caused depletion of the protecting ozone layer has been reported. In this study, the effects of different short-term UV-B radiation on the growth, physiology, and metabolism of Porphyra haitanensis were examined. The growth of P. haitanensis decreased, and the bleaching phenomenon occurred in the thalli. The contents of total amino acids, soluble sugar, total protein, and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) increased under different UV-B radiation intensities. The metabolic profiles of P. haitanensis differed between the control and UV-B radiation-treated groups. Most of the differential metabolites in P. haitanensis were significantly upregulated under UV-B exposure. Short-term enhanced UV-B irradiation significantly affected amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and phenylpropane biosynthesis. The contents of phenylalanine, tyrosine, threonine, and serine were increased, suggesting that amino acid metabolism can promote the synthesis of UV-absorbing substances (such as phenols and MAAs) by providing precursor substances. The contents of sucrose, D-glucose-6-phosphate, and beta-D-fructose-6-phosphate were increased, suggesting that carbohydrate metabolism contributes to maintain energy supply for metabolic activity in response to UV-B exposure. Meanwhile, dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) was also significantly upregulated, denoting effective activation of the antioxidant system. To some extent, these results provide metabolic insights into the adaptive response mechanism of P. haitanensis to short-term enhanced UV-B radiation.     

Protective effect of nanosilica on irradiated dates against saw toothed grain beetle,Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) adults

The insecticidal activity of nanosilica particles (NSPs) [20 ± 4 nm] was determined using the saw-toothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L) adults as the experimental insect. When the unsexed adults were exposed to different doses of nanosilica (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mg/Petri dish) for different periods (1, 2 and 3 days), it was found that NSPs had more insecticidal activity against O. surinamensis. Moreover, it was found that as the exposure time and dose increased, the mortality percentages of the adults increased. When the adult fed on irradiated dates which treated with different doses of nanosilica (0.5, 1,2 and 4 mg/1date) the mortality was higher than in nanosilica alone. The LD₅₀ of the bioassay tests showed that the calculated LD₅₀ values of each treatment were 0.468, 1.201 and 0.572 mg/1date. The adult of O. surinamensis (untreated, treated with LD₅₀ of nanosilica and fed on unirradiated or irradiated dates) examined by a scanning electron microscope. The examination showed the same malformations in all treatments which caused abrasion and damage on the outer surface. Nanosilica can be effectively replacing chemical insecticides to protect stored products.     

Double dispersed bioconvective Casson nanofluid fluid flow over a nonlinear convective stretching sheet in suspension of gyrotactic microorganism

Microorganisms play a vital role in understanding the ecological system. The motions of micororganisms are self‐propelled while the impact of thermophoresis and Brownian motion property of nanoparticle shows more challenges in biotechnological and medical applications. The present problem is based on the understanding of double‐dispensed bioconvection for a Casson nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet. Suction phenomenon is introduced at the surface of the stretching sheet along with the convective boundary condition. The convection and movement of the microorganisms are assisted by an applied magnetic field, nonlinear thermal radiation, and first‐order chemical reaction. The governing equations are highly coupled and thus we used the spectral quasilinearization method to solve the governing equations. The study of the residual errors on the systemic parameters had given a confidence with the present results. The final outcomes are displayed through graphs and tables. The thermal dispersion coefficient shows a positive response in the temperature while a similar response is observed for the concentration with solutal dispersion coefficient. The response is reversible for the heat transfer rate at the surface with thermal dispersion coefficient. The density of the motile microorganism at the surface decreases with increase in the Casson number, thermal dispersion coefficient, and solute dispersion coefficient, while an opposite phenomenon was observed with increase in the density ratio of the motile microorganism.
