Evolution of the Structure of Double-Layer Technology Cooperation-Transfer Networks and Its Impact on Innovation Capabilities by Chen Yuling, Xing Hexiang, Du Debin

“…The findings reveal that: (1) Internal connectivity within the double-layer innovation network of the Yangtze River Delta has strengthened, enhancing accessibility and efficiency while reducing internal centripetal tendencies, thus achieving increasingly coordinated intercity innovation linkages; (2) The initial distribution of the transfer and collaboration networks was concentrated along the southeastern coastal areas, but subsequent polarization eased, with a more marked decrease in hierarchical structure in the transfer network, which also exhibited a higher level of development compared to the collaboration network; (3) The overall coupling coordination of the two sub-networks has risen, although with increased dispersion, leading to pronounced polarization but without severe effects; (4) Regression results from spatial econometric models indicate that node strength and importance within the double-layer network positively influence urban innovation capacity, with both showing significant negative spatial spillover effects. …”

Syntactic complexity recognition and analysis in Chinese-English machine translation: A comparative study based on the BLSTM-CRF model. by Yongli Tian

“…These indicators encompass: (1) Average syntactic node depth (higher values indicate greater complexity; typically ranging from 1.0 to 5.0); (2) The number of embedded clause levels (higher values illustrate greater complexity; typically 0-5); (3) Long-distance dependency ratio (higher values indicate broader dependency spans; range 0-1, moderate values preferred); (4) Average branching factor (higher values show denser modifiers; range 1.0-4.0); (5) Syntactic change ratio (lower values demonstrate structural stability; range 0-1); (6) Translation alignment consistency rate (higher values indicate better alignment; range 0-1); (7) Syntactic tree reconstruction cost (lower values refer to smaller structural adjustment overhead; range 0-1); (8) Translation syntactic balance (higher values illustrate more natural syntactic rendering; range 0-1). …”

QTL Identification and Candidate Gene Prediction for Spike-Related Traits in Barley by Xiaofang Wang, Junpeng Chen, Qingyu Cao, Chengyang Wang, Genlou Sun, Xifeng Ren

“…To date, a considerable number of spike-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been reported in barley, but the large physical distances between most of them and the lack of follow-up studies have made it difficult to use them in molecular-assisted breeding in barley. To explore more novel and yield-enhancing spike QTLs, in this study, a high-density genetic linkage map was developed based on a population of 172 F_2:12 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from a cross between the barley variety Yongjiabaidamai (YJ) and Hua 30 (H30), and used to map the spike length (SL), rachis node number (SRN), and spike density (SD). …”
