The Orthotropy Effect of Underground Inclusion on the Seismic Response of Ground Surface by S. Mojtabazadeh-Hasanlouei, M. Panji, M. Kamalian

“…To account for material damping, the Barkan approach is employed to attenuate the half-space by introducing a constant logarithmic reduction into the modified boundary integral equation. This method is easily implemented in a time-domain computer code for analyzing seismic homogeneous orthotropic mediums. …”

Modular and efficient assembly of CRISPR vectors and construction of an apple gene editing efficiency evaluation system by HOU Feifan, HUANG Chuanmi, HAO Pengbo, CONG Liu, BAI Tuanhui, SHI Jiangli, WANG Miaomiao, LIU Yu, ZHAO Yujie, WAN Ran, SHEN Yawen, ZHANG Hengtao, ZHANG Kunxi, ZHENG Xianbo, JIAO Jian

“…We aim to develop a modular and efficient CRISPR vector system, optimize the Agrobacterium-mediated transient delivery system in apple plantlets, and establish a corresponding evaluation system for assessing the efficiency of gene editing in apple. [Methods] The conventional vectors pUC19 (DNA cloning plasmid) and pHK2 (Dicotyledonous gene editing plasmid based on pCAMBIA1300 modification) were firstly modified by inserting a pair of type Ⅱ S restriction enzyme sites (such as Esp3 Ⅰ or Bsa Ⅰ etc.) into selected positions, to construct the intermediate vector pUC19-Esp3 Ⅰ-Bb and the plant expression vector backbone pHK2-Bsa Ⅰ-Bb. …”

Performance assessment of basalt fibre concrete under freeze-thaw cycles using hybrid long short-term memory models by Qingguo Yang, Honghu Wang, Qigui Yi, Liuyuan Zeng, Rui Xiang, Longfei Guan, Jiawei Cheng, Keling Chen, Yunhao Li

“…The results demonstrate that swarm intelligence optimization algorithms (SIOA) significantly enhance the prediction accuracy and stability of the LSTM model. The two modified particle swarm optimization algorithms showed notable improvements: AsyLnCPSO performed well on the training set but exhibited limited adaptability to overall data variations, while the GA-HIDMS-PSO excelled in high-dimensional and complex constraint problems, demonstrating the strongest stability with a fitting accuracy of 0.938, significantly improving the prediction accuracy of concrete performance under FTCs. …”
