The band gaps of seven stacking patterns of bilayer hexagonal boron nitrides(h-BNs) are regulated by changing the doping positions of carbon atoms using density functional theory calculations.The calculation results dwell on that the AA1 stacking pattern h-BN has the largest band gap among seven stacking patterns of h-BNs.The influences of five dif
Functional coupling networks are widely used to characterize collective patterns of activity in neural populations.Here, we ask whether functional couplings reflect the subtle changes, such as in physiological interactions, believed to take place during learning.We infer functional network models reproducing the spiking activity of simultaneously r
Abstract As new COVID-19 variants emerge, and disease and population characteristics change, screening strategies may also need to change.We develop a decision-making model that can assist a college to determine an optimal screening strategy based on their characteristics and resources, considering COVID-19 infections/hospitalizations/deaths; peak
Contemporary muralism is one of the most widespread manifestations of urban art in cities nowadays.Loss of colour (fading) due to degradation of the pictorial materials is one of the main manifestations of deterioration in this type of artwork.However, the application of protective coatings is considered to slow down fading.In this study, two acryl
Biomedical named entity recognition (Bio-NER) is the prerequisite for mining knowledge from biomedical texts.The state-of-the-art models for Bio-NER are mostly based on bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) and bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) models.However, both BiLSTM and BERT models are extremely computatio
