Origami principle in space deployable membrane structures: Mechanism, application and prospects
SciOpenThe accelerated evolution of space technology has elevated the importance of high power and lightweight attributes in satellite design. In response to the conflict between the demand for large-scale, high-power payloads and the need for lightweight, compact platforms, flexible space origami membrane structures have emerged as a potential solution. These structures possess the ability to overcome the limitations of traditional deployable mechanisms. Their geometric reconfiguration capabilities, characterized by high folding ratios, effectively satisfy the high-power performance demands.

Experimental models for cancer brain metastasis
Chinese Medical Journals Publishing House Co., Ltd.Highlights
•
The lack of an acceptable and reliable guide for selecting in vitro or in vivo brain metastasis models hinders the development of brain metastasis therapies.
•
There is an urgent need to employ accurate in vitro and in vivo models to recapitulate the complexities of brain tumor metastasis and to unravel the intricate cellular and physiological processes involved.
•
Precise in vitro and in vivo brain metastasis models are crucial for investigating cellular and molecular mechanisms and serve as preclinical platforms to assess novel treatments.
•
An array of emerging techniques, such as bio-three-dimensional (3D) printing, novel real-time imaging, artificial intelligence, and precise gene editing, holds promise for redefining the landscape of cancer brain metastasis model development.
A survey on multilingual large language models: corpora, alignment, and bias
Higher Education PressMultilingual Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable success in advancing multilingual natural language processing, enabling effective knowledge transfer from high-resource to low-resource languages. Despite their achievements, MLLMs still face numerous issues and challenges, which can be categorized into three main aspects: corpora, alignment, and bias.

Gas-particle flow and rapid load-up characteristics of a novel deep peak regulation burner
Shanghai Jiao Tong University Journal CenterExisting swirling combustion technology, which relies on faulty coal, is unable to meet deep peak shaving demands without auxiliary methods. This paper developed a deep peak regulation burner (DPRB) to achieve stable combustion at 15%–30% of the boiler’s rated load without auxiliary support. Gas-particle tests, industrial trials, and transient numerical simulations were conducted to evaluate the burner’s performance. At full rated load, the DPRB formed a central recirculation zone (RZ) with a length of 1.5d and a diameter of 0.58d (where d represents the outlet diameter). At 40%, 20%, and 15% rated loads, the RZ became annular, with diameters of 0.30d, 0.40d, and 0.39d, respectively, with a length of 1.0d. At 20% and 15% rated loads, the recirculation peak and the range of particle volume flux were comparable to those at 40% rated load. The prototype burner demonstrated that, without oil support, the gas temperature within 0 to 1.8 m from the primary air outlet remained below 609 °C, insufficient to ignite faulty coal. As the load rate increased from 20% to 30%, the prototype’s central region temperature remained low, with a maximum of 750 °C between 0 and 2.0 m. In contrast, the DPRB’s central region temperature reached 750 °C at around 0.65–0.70 m. At a 3%·min−1 load-up rate, when the load increased from 20% to 30%, the prototype burner extinguished after 30 s. However, the DPRB maintained stable combustion throughout the process.
