Study on microscopic mechanism of wetting anthracite by charged droplets by Hongjie ZHANG, Yuming ZHAO, Shaocheng GE, Weizhi ZHAO

“…Secondly, the molecular simulation method was employed to investigate the interaction mechanism between the charged droplets and anthracite from the dimensions of electronic structure calculation at the quantum mechanical level and conformational evolution at the molecular dynamics level. The findings indicate that the charged solutions exhibited superior wetting performance on coal dust, with the contact angle between charged droplets and coal dust showing an overall downward trend as the charging voltage increased, and the minimum contact angle and optimal wetting performance were achieved at −24 kV charging voltage. …”

Research on information extraction methods for historical classics under the threshold of digital humanities by Lifan HAN, Zijing JI, Zirui CHEN, Xin WANG

“…Digital humanities aims to use modern computer network technology to help traditional humanities research.Classical Chinese historical books are the important basis for historical research and learning, but since their writing language is classical Chinese, it is quite different from the vernacular Chinese in grammar and meaning, so it is not easy to read and understand.In view of the above problems, the solution to extract entities and relations in historical books based on pre-trained models was proposed to obtain the rich information contained in historical texts effectively.The model usedmulti-level pre-training tasks instead of BERT's original pre-training tasks to fully capture semantic information.And the model added some structures such as convolutional layers and sentence-level aggregations on the basis of the BERT model to optimize the generated word representation further.Then, in view of the scarcity of classical Chinese annotation data, a crowdsourcing system for the task of labeling historical classics was constructed, high-quality, large-scale entity and relation data was obtained and the classical Chinese knowledge extraction dataset was constructed.So it helped to evaluate the performance of the model and fine-tune the model.Experiments on the dataset constructed in this paper and on the GulianNER dataset demonstrated the effectiveness of the model proposed in this paper.…”
