Investigation of the effects of temperature and ions on the interaction between ECG and BSA by the fluorescence quenching method
The effects of temperature and common ions on binding (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) are investigated. The binding constants (Ka) between ECG and BSA are 1.20 Ч 106 (17°C), 1.38 Ч 106 (27°C), and 5.69 x 106 L mol-1 (37°C), and the number of binding sites (n) were 1.14, 1.15, and 1.26, respectively. These results showed that the increasing temperature improves the stability of the ECG-BSA system, which results in a higher binding constant and the number of binding sites of the ECG-BSA system. The presence of Co2+ and Zn2+ ions decreased the binding constants (Ka) and the number of binding sites (n) of ECG-BSA complex. However, the presence of Cu2+ and Ni2+ increased the affinity of ECG for BSA largely. The positive ΔH and positive ΔS indicated that hydrophobic forces might play a major role in the binding between ECG and BSA

Is ChatGPT Good at Search? Investigating Large Language Models as Re-Ranking Agent
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated a remarkable ability to
generalize zero-shot to various language-related tasks. This paper focuses on
the study of exploring generative LLMs such as ChatGPT and GPT-4 for relevance
ranking in Information Retrieval (IR). Surprisingly, our experiments reveal
that properly instructed ChatGPT and GPT-4 can deliver competitive, even
superior results than supervised methods on popular IR benchmarks. Notably,
GPT-4 outperforms the fully fine-tuned monoT5-3B on MS MARCO by an average of
2.7 nDCG on TREC datasets, an average of 2.3 nDCG on eight BEIR datasets, and
an average of 2.7 nDCG on ten low-resource languages Mr.TyDi. Subsequently, we
delve into the potential for distilling the ranking capabilities of ChatGPT
into a specialized model. Our small specialized model that trained on 10K
ChatGPT generated data outperforms monoT5 trained on 400K annotated MS MARCO
data on BEIR. The code to reproduce our results is available at

Full color transflective cholesteric liquid crystal display with slant reflectors above transmissive pixels
A device and method for making full color cholesteric displays such as a narrow band and a broad band cholesteric display using high birefringence LC materials with color filtering processes. The invention includes positioning slant reflector(s) in the transmissive portion of the display to reflect backlight into reflection pixels. The LCD can display the same color images in both reflective and transmissive modes, maintain good readability in any ambient, has low power consumption, high brightness, full color capability and has a fabrication process that is compatible with conventional LCD fabrication
