Predicting Solar Flares Using a Convolutional Neural Network with Extreme-ultraviolet Images by Yun Yang, Yi Wei Ni, P. F. Chen, Xue Shang Feng

“…The main advantage of this model lies in that it can effectively leverage the historical and spatial information of the source active regions as well as the interaction information from the surrounding active regions or other structures. This information, which cannot be provided by the data from a single active region alone, is demonstrated to be crucial in predicting solar flares. …”

From Centralization to Decentralization: Blockchain’s Role in Transforming Social Media Platforms by Bidita Sarkar Diba, Jayonto Dutta Plabon, Nishat Tasnim, Mehjabin Hossain, Durjoy Mistry, Sourav Sarker, M. F. Mridha, Yuichi Okuyama, Jungpil Shin

“…Blockchain is influencing the social media platforms by promising to solve the biggest issues of today, such as privacy concerns and content moderation, and the ability to provide a decentralized system for the management of social media platforms through cryptographic techniques and distributed structures. Conventionally, social media systems are based on central architectures that may indirectly solve the problems of data privacy and platform responsibility since there are increased threats, including identity theft and fake news spread across such systems. …”

Two New Diterpenoids Formed by Transannular Diels–Alder Cycloaddition from the Soft Coral <i>Sarcophyton tortuosum</i>, and Their Antibacterial and PPAR-β Agonist Activities by Min Sun, Songwei Li, Jianang Zeng, Yuewei Guo, Changyun Wang, Mingzhi Su

“…Two new cembrane-derived tricyclic diterpenes belonging to the sarcophytin family, namely 4<i>a</i>-hydroxy-chatancin (<b>1</b>) and sarcotoroid (<b>2</b>), together with two known related ones (<b>3</b> and <b>4</b>), were isolated from the soft coral <i>Sarcophyton tortuosum</i> collected off Ximao Island in the South China Sea. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, a quantum mechanical nuclear magnetic resonance (QM-NMR) method, a time-dependent density functional theory electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) calculation, X-ray diffraction analysis, and comparison with the reported data in the literature. …”
