    This paper independently explores the chapter structure of scientific and technological literature in the field of shipbuilding in the natural sciences and the field of library and information in the social sciences. The chapter structure model of previous studies, namely \u27background, purpose, method, result, conclusion, demonstration,\u27 is quoted as the verification object of the document chapter structure in the field of exploration. In order to verify the rationality of the structure, this paper uses the deep learning models TextCNN, DPCNN, TextRCNN, and BiLSTM-Attention as experimental tools, and designs 5-fold cross-validation experiment and normal experiment, and finally verifies the rationality of the model structure, and It is concluded that the BiLSTM-Attention model can better identify the chapter structure in this field

    A Neural Index Reflecting the Amount of Cognitive Resources Available during Memory Encoding: A Model-based Approach

    Humans have a limited amount of cognitive resources to process various cognitive operations at a given moment. The Source of Activation Confusion (SAC) model of episodic memory proposes that resources are consumed during each processing and once depleted they need time to recover gradually. This has been supported by a series of behavioral findings in the past. However, the neural substrate of the resources is not known. In the present study, over an existing EEG dataset of a free recall task (Kahana et al., 2022), we provided a neural index reflecting the amount of cognitive resources available for forming new memory traces. Unique to our approach, we obtained the neural index not through correlating neural patterns with behavior outcomes or experimental conditions, but by demonstrating its alignment with a latent quantity of cognitive resources inferred from the SAC model. In addition, we showed that the identified neural index can be used to propose novel hypothesis regarding other long-term memory phenomena. Specifically, we found that according to the neural index, neural encoding patterns for subsequently recalled items correspond to greater available cognitive resources compared with that for subsequently unrecalled items. This provides a mechanistic account for the long-established subsequent memory effects (SMEs, i.e. differential neural encoding patterns between subsequently recalled versus subsequently unrecalled items), which has been previously associated with attention, fatigue and properties of the stimuli

    A phage-displayed peptide recognizing porcine aminopeptidase N is a potent small molecule inhibitor of PEDV entry

    Three phage-displayed peptides designated H, S and F that recognize porcine aminopeptidase N (pAPN), the cellular receptor of porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) were able to inhibit cell infection by TGEV. These same peptides had no inhibitory effects on infection of Vero cells by porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). However, when PEDV, TGEV and porcine pseudorabies virus were incubated with peptide H (HVTTTFAPPPPR), only infection of Vero cells by PEDV was inhibited. Immunofluorescence assays indicated that inhibition of PEDV infection by peptide H was independent of pAPN. Western blots demonstrated that peptide H interacted with PEDV spike protein and that pre-treatment of PEDV with peptide H led to a higher inhibition than synchronous incubation with cells. These results indicate direct interaction with the virus is necessary to inhibit infectivity. Temperature shift assays demonstrated that peptide H inhibited pre-attachment of the virus to the cells

    Global Competence and Sustainability in the Apparel and Textile curriculum

    n response to the changing global climate and the growing ethnic and cultural diversity in the U.S., there is a widely recognized need to add a global and cultural competency dimension to our educational programs. In addition to global learning, sustainability focused education has increased in importance since the UN’s declaration of education for sustainable development (Connell & Kozar, 2012). However, despite the need for such educational opportunities, few studies have examined the current curriculum to determine if these two critical issues have been addressed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the current apparel and textile curriculum in the U.S. higher education system and to explore the extent to which each course in the apparel and textile field has implemented global competence and sustainability in its course objectives

    Electric field-tunable layer polarization in graphene/boron nitride twisted quadrilayer superlattices

    The recently observed unconventional ferroelectricity in AB bilayer graphene sandwiched by hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) presents a new platform to manipulate correlated phases in multilayered van der Waals heterostructures. We present a low-energy continuum model for AB bilayer graphene encapsulated by the top and bottom layers of either hBN or graphene, with two independent twist angles. For the graphene/hBN heterostructures, we show that twist angle asymmetry leads to a layer polarization of the valence and conduction bands. We also show that an out-of-plane displacement field not only tunes the layer polarization but also flattens the low-energy bands. We extend the model to show that the electronic structures of quadrilayer graphene heterostructure consisting of AB bilayer graphene encapsulated by the top and bottom graphene layers can similarly be tuned by an external electric field

    Topology and geometry under the nonlinear electromagnetic spotlight

    For many materials, a precise knowledge of their dispersion spectra is insufficient to predict their ordered phases and physical responses. Instead, these materials are classified by the geometrical and topological properties of their wavefunctions. A key challenge is to identify and implement experiments that probe or control these quantum properties. In this review, we describe recent progress in this direction, focusing on nonlinear electromagnetic responses that arise directly from quantum geometry and topology. We give an overview of the field by discussing new theoretical ideas, groundbreaking experiments, and the novel materials that drive them. We conclude by discussing how these techniques can be combined with new device architectures to uncover, probe, and ultimately control novel quantum phases with emergent topological and correlated properties.Comment: Nature Materials (In Press
