Resilience assessment of interprovincial crop virtual water flow network in China by Hongrong Huang, La Zhuo, Yiping Wu, Yilin Liu, Xiangxiang Ji, Pute Wu

“…We then analyzed network topological properties including connectivity, betweenness centrality, and community structure. Finally, we evaluated network resilience through four dimensions (resistance, absorptive, adaptive, and transformative capacities) by simulating structural and functional responses under both intentional and random node failure scenarios for three major crops (rice, wheat, and maize). …”

Rubi as a Text: A Note on the Ruby Gloss Encoding by Kazuhiro Okada, Satoru Nakamura, Kiyonori Nagasaki

“…Ruby, or rubi, or furigana, can be used to give clues about phonation as well as to present another reading of the text, which sometimes can be an essential part of the text. Such a textual structure requires another layer of semantics besides the existing set of vocabulary, such as , (or ) and . …”

Keeping all secondary structures of the non-coding region in the circular genome of human bocavirus 2 is important for DNA replication and virus assembly, as revealed by three hete... by Linqing Zhao, Tao Wang, Yuan Qian, Jingdong Song, Runan Zhu, Liying Liu, Liping Jia, Huijin Dong

“…To discern the role of the circular HBoV2 genome, three distinct linearized HBoV2-C1 genomes were cloned into pBlueScript SKII(+) to obtain pBlueScript HBoV2 5043–5042 (retaining all secondary structures), pBlueScript-HBoV2 5075–5074 (retaining hairpin number 2 and the 5′ terminal structure), and pBlueScript-HBoV2 5220–5219 (retaining only the 5′ terminal structure at the 5′ -genome end). …”

High photothermal conversion efficiency of RF sputtered Ti4O7 Magneli phase thin films and its linear correlation with light absorption capacity by L. Pichon, H. Rekik, H. Arab, P. Drogui, M. A. El Khakani

“…Abstract RF-sputtering is used to deposit Ti4O7-Magneli-phase films onto various substrates at deposition temperatures (T s ) ranging from 25 to 650 °C. Not only the structural, but also electrical conductivity, optical absorbance and photothermal properties of the Ti4O7 films are shown to change significantly with T s . …”

Transformerless Step-Up Inverter Based On Switched-Capacitor Converter Technology by Neilor Colombo Dal Pont, Gierri Waltrich, Telles Brunelli Lazzarin

“… In this paper the integration between a voltage source inverter (VSI) and a switched capacitor converter (SCC) is proposed to generate a sinusoidal waveform with a double peak voltage value at the converter output terminal, without the use of a transformer or a dc-dc boost converter. The novel structure (VSI-SCC) is designed as a transformerless step-up inverter with linear gain. …”
