Comparison of D5-95 prediction results of fusion model and single model.</p

Data comparison of different models for <i>D</i>_<i>5-75</i>.

This study aims to predict the significant duration (D5-75, D5-95) of seismic motion by employing machine learning algorithms. Based on three parameters (moment magnitude, fault distance, and average shear wave velocity), two additional parameters(fault top depth and epicenter mechanism parameters) were introduced in this study. The XGBoost algorithm is utilized for characteristic parameter optimization analysis to obtain the optimal combination of four parameters. We compare the prediction results of four machine learning algorithms (random forest, XGBoost, BP neural network, and SVM) and develop a new method of significant duration prediction by constructing two fusion models (stacking and weighted averaging). The fusion model demonstrates an improvement in prediction accuracy and generalization ability of the significant duration when compared to single algorithm models based on evaluation indicators and residual values. The accuracy and rationality of the fusion model are validated through comparison with existing research.</div

Aptamer Fiber Anchored on the Edge of a Protein Pattern: A Template for Nanowire Fabrication

How to lay down nanowires at designated positions is a challenge that undermines the development of nanowire-based devices. We demonstrate that aptamer fibers, which are formed by the self-assembly of multiple aptamers, anchor specifically on the edge of protein patterns. This edge-anchoring effect originates from the biospecific recognition between the aptamer and its target protein. The fractal- shaped aptamer fibers are 1−6 nm high and can be tens of micrometers long. Once these edge-bound fibers have formed, they can serve as scaffolds for further assembly processes. We used these aptamer fibers as templates to fabricate palladium and streptavidin nanowires, which anchored on the pattern edges and never cross over or collapse over each other. The aptamer fiber scaffold provides a solution for fabricating and interfacing nanowires to existing surface patterns
