Unmasking insider threats using a robust hybrid optimized generative pretrained neural network approach by P. Lavanya, H. Anila Glory, Manuj Aggarwal, V. S. Shankar Sriram

“…The structure of the proposed approach involves three phases: (1) Chebyshev Graph Laplacian Eigenmaps solver (CGLE) for selecting the user-designated samples by reducing the dimensionality of the data and Insider State clustering via Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (IS-DBSCAN) (2) The EHI of multi-objective Bayesian optimization for optimizing the sensitive learning rate hyperparameter to ensure the stability of the Adabelief optimized WGAN and improve the quality of the generated adversarial samples. (3) The L2-SP regularization technique effectively fine-tunes the pretrained AGCN, which identifies the user behavioural pattern to detect the insiders. …”

Study on influence of coal seam water content on effect of CO2 isobaric diffusion displacing CH4 by Liwei CHEN, Dongjie WANG, Le BIAN, Yuan LIU, Xiaohua LI

“…In the experiments of CH4 replacement by CO2 injection in coal with different water contents under isobaric diffusion conditions, it was found that, under the same water content conditions, with the increase of adsorption equilibrium pressure, the replacement amount and replacement rate of CH4 kept increasing, while the CO2 injection ratio kept decreasing, and the replacement effect of CH4 was better, while the utilization rate of CO2 was lower. …”

Asymmetric cell division of ALDH1-positive cancer stem cells generates glycolytic metabolically diverse cell populations by Shoma Tamori, Chika Matsuda, Takahiro Kasai, Shigeo Ohno, Kazunori Sasaki, Kazunori Akimoto

“…Here, we revealed that PKCλ-dependent asymmetric division of ALDH1-positive cancer stem cells (CSCs) led to an uneven distribution of glycolytic capacity, which is crucial for understanding metabolic heterogeneity within a tumor. The rate-limiting enzyme PFKP and the metabolic probe CDG in glycolysis codistributed with the ALDH1A3 protein during the post-cell division phase, highlighting a mechanism for acquiring metabolic diversity. …”

Measuring and Analyzing the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Agricultural Green Total Factor Productivity on the Tibetan Plateau (2002–2021) by Mengmeng Zhang, Jianyu Xiao, Chengqun Yu

“…The main findings are as follows: (1) AGTFP in Tibet rose overall from 0.949 in 2002 to 1.068 in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 0.78%, yet remained below the national average; (2) significant regional heterogeneity emerged, with three typical evolution patterns identified: continual improvement (Nagqu, Qamdo), stable fluctuation (Lhasa, Xigazê), and risk of decline (Lhoka, Nyingchi, Ngari); (3) gains in pure technical efficiency were the primary driver of AGTFP growth, while insufficient scale efficiency was a key constraint; (4) AGTFP exhibited a “convergence–divergence–reconvergence” dynamic, with interregional disparities widening but structural patterns stabilizing; and (5) interregional inequality was the main source of overall disparity—its importance grew over the study period, with the largest gap observed between agrarian and pastoral zones. …”
