    Abstract Inspired by sparse learning, the Markowitz mean-variance model with a sparse regularization term is popularly used in sparse portfolio optimization. However, in penalty-based portfolio optimization algorithms, the cardinality level of the resultant portfolio relies on the choice of the regularization parameter. This brief formulates the mean-variance model as a cardinality ( l

    Abstract The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the most frequently altered gene in glioblastoma (GBM), which plays an important role in tumor development and anti-tumor immune response. While current molecular targeted therapies against the EGFR signaling pathway and its downstream key molecules have not demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes in GBM. Whereas tumor immunotherapies, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors, have shown durable antitumor responses in many cancers. However, the clinical efficacy is limited in patients carrying EGFR alterations, indicating that EGFR signaling may involve tumor immune response. Recent studies reveal that EGFR alterations not only promote GBM cell proliferation but also influence immune components in the tumor microenvironment (TME), leading to the recruitment of immunosuppressive cells (e.g., M2-like TAMs, MDSCs, and Tregs), and inhibition of T and NK cell activation. Moreover, EGFR alterations upregulate the expression of immunosuppressive molecules or cytokines (such as PD-L1, CD73, TGF-β). This review explores the role of EGFR alterations in establishing an immunosuppressive TME and hopes to provide a theoretical basis for combining targeted EGFR inhibitors with immunotherapy for GBM.

    Abstract Sparse index tracking, as one of the passive investment strategies, is to track a benchmark financial index via constructing a portfolio with a few assets in a market index. It can be considered as parameter learning in an adaptive system, in which we periodically update the selected assets and their investment percentages based on the sliding window approach. However, many existing algorithms for sparse index tracking cannot explicitly and directly control the number of assets or the tracking error. This article formulates sparse index tracking as two constrained optimization problems and then proposes two algorithms, namely, nonnegative orthogonal matching pursuit with projected gradient descent (NNOMP-PGD) and alternating direction method of multipliers for l

    Abstract Tensor completion (TC) refers to restoring the missing entries in a given tensor by making use of the low-rank structure. Most existing algorithms have excellent performance in Gaussian noise or impulsive noise scenarios. Generally speaking, the Frobenius-norm-based methods achieve excellent performance in additive Gaussian noise, while their recovery severely degrades in impulsive noise. Although the algorithms using the l

    Abstract Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy is an effective strategy for regenerative therapy. However, safety and ease of use are still issues to be overcome in clinical applications. Exosomes are naturally derived nanoparticles containing bioactive molecules, which serve as ideal cell-free therapeutic modalities. However, issues such as delivery, long-term preservation and activity maintenance of exosomes are other problems that limit their application. In this study, we proposed the use of rapid freeze-dry-thaw macroporous hydrogels for the encapsulation of HucMSC-derived exosomes (HucMSC-Exos) combined with an antimicrobial peptide coating. This exosome-encapsulated hyaluronic acid macroporous hydrogel HD-DP7/Exo can achieve long-term storage and transport by lyophilization and can be rapidly redissolved for treatment. After comprehensively comparing the therapeutic effects of HucMSC-Exos and HucMSC-loaded hydrogels, we found that HucMSC-Exos could also effectively regulate fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and macrophages and inhibit myofibroblast-mediated fibrosis, thus promoting tissue regeneration and inhibiting scar formation in a mouse model of deep second-degree burn infection healing. These properties of lyophilized storage and whole-process-repair make HD-DP7/Exo have potential application value and application prospects.

    Abstract High heterogeneity in the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) in grasslands causes uncertainty in estimating its content and storage. In this study, we investigated the spatial distribution of SOC content and storage in the prairies of southern Alberta, Canada, and how it is affected by land use such as irrigated cropping and other environmental conditions such as cattle grazing, slope landscape position and dominant plant species. The mean SOC content was determined to be 11.5 g kg–¹ (range: 8.9 to 22.4 g kg–¹) in the 0–10 cm layer and 6.8 g kg–¹ (range: 4.0 to 13.3 g kg–¹) in the 10–30 cm layer; mean SOC storage was 1.59 kg C m–² (range: 1.23 to 2.78 kg C m–²) in the 0–10 cm layer and 2.07 kg C m–² (range: 1.21 to 3.62 kg C m–²) in the 10–30 cm layer. The SOC content was significantly affected by slope position in both the 0–10 and 10–30 cm layers, in the following order: bottom >middle > top position. Moreover, SOC storage was higher in sites dominated by shrubs than graminoid/forb communities. Thus, SOC content and storage had distinctly clustered spatial patterns throughout the study area and were significant differences between the 0–10 and 10–30 cm soil layers. Prior land‐use change from arid grassland to irrigated cropland increased SOC content and storage in bulk soils.

    Abstract In this study, different structural of organic hollow porous silica were prepared based on differential selective etching of functional groups strategy, using ammonia as catalyst, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as pore-forming agent and emulsifier, cyano silica (CN-SiO2) or vinyl silica (V-SiO2) formed by hydrolysis condensation of 2-cyanoethyl triethoxysilane (CTES) or vinyl triethoxysilane (VTES) were used as cores, NH-SiO2 prepared by 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), SH-SiO2 prepared by mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and UD-SiO2 prepared by urea-propyl triethoxysilane (UPTES) as shells, separately. The morphology and structure of the products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The study results showed that CN-SiO2 as core was considered to be benefit for the preparation of organic hollow porous silica compared to V-SiO2 as core. In addition, core-shell structure obtained from CN-SiO2NH-SiO2 tend to be changed into hollow porous structure in alkaline condition on account of differential selective etching of functional groups strategy.

    Abstract Based on the line-controlled chassis platform, the low-speed outer rotor motor is used to drive the wheel directly in the designed in-wheel motor line-controlled electric vehicle. The power system parameters of the designed four-wheel independent drive electric vehicle are matched and simulated by offline simulation. Firstly, based on the theoretical basis of the research on the parameter matching of the power system of pure electric vehicles, the type selection and parameter matching of the hub motor and power battery are carried out according to the established dynamic and economic indicators. Then, the designed component parameters are repeatedly corrected until the design goal is achieved; Finally, the vehicle model is built in AVL cruise, and the design results are simulated by software.
