Brittle crack propagation acceleration in a single crystal of a 3% silicon-Fe alloy by Tomoya Kawbata, Noritaka Nakamura, Shuji Aihara

“…Due to the social importance of the problem, many experimental and theoretical studies have been conducted from both the mechanical and microstructural viewpoints. Though it has been reported that the upper limit of the speed of brittle crack propagation is theoretically the Rayleigh wave speed, which is approximately 2,900 m/s in steels, the actual speed of brittle crack propagation in steels is approximately 1,000 m/s and lower. …”

Contrastive Dual-Pool Feature Adaption for Domain Incremental Remote Sensing Scene Classification by Yingzhao Shao, Yunsong Li, Xiaodong Han

“…DACL introduces three key components: (1) a dual-pool architecture comprising a prompt pool for domain-specific tokens and an adapter pool for feature adaptation, enabling efficient domain-specific feature extraction; (2) a dual loss mechanism that combines image-attracting loss and text-separating loss to enhance intra-domain feature discrimination while maintaining clear class boundaries; and (3) a K-means-based domain selector that efficiently matches unknown domain features with existing domain representations using cosine similarity. …”

Escherichia coli stress response systems and their reaction to terahertz radiation by S. E. Peltek, E. V. Demidova, V. M. Popik, T. N. Goryachkovskaya

“…In this review, we summarize the latest data concerning the reactions of Escherichia coli to nonthermal terahertz radiation and the underlying molecular mechanisms. E. coli is the most simple and convenient model object for studying the effects of terahertz radiation: both its genetics and metabolism are well studied, and it is easily amenable to genetic engineering allowing one to create biosensors using promoters of genes activated by certain stress factors and the reporter GFP protein. …”

Spatial association network structure of agricultural carbon emission efficiency in Chinese cities and its driving factors by Xu Wei, Bohong Chen

“…Central cities generally exhibit higher efficiency levels, while the surrounding cities tend to have lower efficiency. (2) The carbon emission efficiency of city agriculture in China displays multidimensional, complex, and organic characteristics, with potential for enhanced network stability. (3) Agricultural regions in central and southeastern China dominate the spatial network, while regions with weaker agricultural sectors, like Beijing, Shanghai, and Ningxia, occupy peripheral positions. (4) Within the spatial association network of city agricultural carbon emission efficiency in China, Intra block spatial correlations are low, while interblock spatial correlations are strong, exhibiting significant spillover effects. (5)Variations in agricultural development levels and mechanization significantly enhance the formation of networks related to city agricultural carbon emission efficiency in China. …”
