The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

LNG bunkering infrastructure planning at port by Guo, Yu, Yan, Ran, Qi, Jingwen, Liu, Yannick, Wang, S., Zhen, Lu

“…The objective of this study is to determine the optimal bunkering method at a port using an integer linear programming (ILP) model considering three kinds of costs: fixed, variable, and extra. To find the optimal bunkering method, the three methods and their related constraints are modeled into the ILP model. …”

Efficient inference offloading for mixture-of-experts large language models in internet of medical things by Yuan, Xiaoming, Kong, Weixuan, Luo, Zhenyu, Xu, Minrui

“…To address these challenges, we propose MedMixtral 8x7B, a new medical LLM based on the mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture with an offloading strategy, enabling deployment on the IoMT, improving the privacy protection for users. Additionally, we find that the significant factors affecting latency include the method of device interconnection, the location of offloading servers, and the speed of the disk.…”

Molecular dynamics simulation: effect of sulfation on the structure of curdlan triple helix in aqueous solution by Gao, Yufu, Feng, Xuan, Zhang, Ran, Xiao, Jie, Huang, Qingrong, Li, Jiawei, Shi, Tongfei

“…When substitutions occur at both the O4 and O6 sites simultaneously (O4,6), the electrostatic repulsion between numerous sulfate groups introduces considerable energy perturbation to the triple helix, leading to alterations in the glucan chain conformation and consequent destabilization of the triple helix structure. Meanwhile, we find that even if the sulfation substitution is performed at the same substitution sites, the difference in the degree of substitution also has an impact on the triple helix stability. …”

Unveiling the chirality of the quantum anomalous Hall effect by Chen, Hongyu, Jin, Yuanjun, Mohammad Yahyavi, Belopolski, Ilya, Shao, Sen, Hou, Tao, Wang, Naizhou, Hsu, Chia-Hsiu, Zhao, Yilin, Yang, Bo, Ma, Qiong, Yin, Jia-Xin, Xu, Su-Yang, Gao, Weibo, Chang, Guoqing

“…The quantized lδz will also give rise to a unique quantized magnetic circular dichroism effect in the case of resonance absorption. By lδz, we find that the chiral flow-direction of an electron in the QAHE is not explicitly related to the intrinsic spin axis, thereby enabling the spin-momentum-unlocking edge states in an antiferromagnetic QAHE system. …”
