Published: August 2024

This study delves into enhancing the gaming experience by strategically predicting and analyzing Wordle outcomes. Rooted in prediction and analysis principles, our P&A model employs a systematic approach. Beginning with an exploration of statistical patterns in game results, we construct a predictive model for March 1 using methods such as trend analysis, median, variance, paired sample t-tests, and chi-square independence tests. Short-term outcome predictions incorporate time series ARIMA and support vector machine models for improved accuracy. The subsequent phase develops a model to predict future Wordle solutions, addressing uncertainties through practical examples and neural networks. Difficulty classification of Wordle solution words is tackled by associating attributes with each category, employing K-MEANS clustering, and optimizing it for better performance. Modified K-MEANS clustering assesses indicators' significance, and machine learning with XGBoost assigns importance scores. In conclusion, our predictive and analytical exploration of Wordle questions 1, 2, and 3 culminates in a dataset listing and description. The integration of the P&A Model, K-MEANS clustering, ARIMA, and various methodologies represents a significant advancement in unraveling the dynamics of Wordle.

Authors: Sun Weihao , Wang Bihan , Wang Ziyi
Published: August 2024

As the cornerstone of new energy vehicles, lithium-ion batteries pose significant safety concerns due to the risk of thermal runaway, which can lead to inoperability, fires, explosions, and the release of toxic and combustible gases. This paper examines the safety hazards associated with lithium-ion power batteries in new energy vehicles, focusing on the phenomenon of thermal runaway. Thermal runaway not only compromises vehicle functionality but also elevates the risk of fires and explosions, endangering human lives and property. Statistical analysis reveals that fire incidents during charging sessions account for approximately 26% of all cases, attributed to direct battery ignition, charging equipment malfunctions, and overcharging. Moreover, fires occurring while vehicles are parked represent a significant portion (about 13%) of incidents, particularly in climates with considerable day-to-night temperature variations, exacerbated by drivers' lack of safety awareness. The underlying cause of these safety issues is thermal runaway within the battery pack, which, upon reaching a critical threshold, triggers fires and other hazardous events. This study underscores the urgent need for enhanced safety measures and awareness to mitigate the risks posed by lithium-ion batteries in new energy vehicles.

The fertility profile of the study area impacted by the energy system was compared with the areas without energy system influence as one of the bases for evaluation. The study concluded that the study area is heavily polluted due to ongoing activities of the energy systems (oil and gas), impacting negatively on the quality of water resources, soil fertility, air quality, and aquatic ecosystem. Yet, the key to addressing pollution in Bayelsa state coastal communities in the Niger Delta region is through cost-effective and ecofriendly methods such as regulations, technological advancements, cleanup efforts, decarbonization, and protecting unpolluted areas. This will aid in restoring the soil fertility, water quality, and aquatic habitat back to its original ability to support life.

Power and energy are prerequisites for material driving. Nowadays in developing countries (Nigeria), more work needs to be done to find inexpensive and environmentally benign energy fuels to replace home and vehicle lubricants. This will signal a shift away from the use of fossil fuel-based products and toward cleaner, greener products as an alternative to the current energy system. The process of turning Neem seed oil into biolubricant is being studied in this work. Additionally, calcium oxide was produced by calcining egg shells and then activated using a solution of phosphoric acid. TGA and FT-IR were used to characterize the activated calcium oxide that was generated. Using activated calcium oxide as a catalyst, methanol was also used to transesterify Neem seed oil (biodiesel), which was then transesterified once more using trimethylolpropane (TMP). The target Biolubricant was produced under reflux at various reaction conditions, and it was then characterized using FT-IR and GC-MS. The biolubricant's physicochemical properties were examined using techniques approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The analysis of parameters like viscosity (53.2), cloud point (2.8), pour point (-8.7), flash point (218), and viscosity index (128) of the Biolubricant revealed results that were in line with the ASTM specification for lubricant.

The research introduces a 3D brain tumor identification method that combines the capabilities of 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (3D CNNs) and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) to explore the complex structure of volumetric brain scans. The research begins with a dataset extracted from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) scans, which serves as a foundation for a comprehensive analysis of 3D medical imaging data. The core of the technology is centered around the coordination of 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), utilizing their convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers to extract intricate spatial characteristics. Transfer learning is employed to enhance the model's understanding in situations where limited annotated data is available. Graph Convolutional Networks are used to understand the complex spatial connections within the brain, resulting in a seamless integration of intricate spatial characteristics and relationships between brain regions. The model's evolution is revealed through supervised training and validation, employing cross-entropy loss functions and stochastic gradient descent. The results show a harmonious pattern of diminishing losses and increasing accuracies in both training and testing phases, with a final test accuracy of 99.4%. This research indicates a promising beginning in the field of 3D brain tumor identification, with the potential to be applied in clinical settings for accurate and quick diagnosis.

In a fast-changing digital age, technologies are changing the way we teach and learn in many respects. This research focuses on investigating the effectiveness of using e-learning as a mode for developing Arabic language skills among non-Arab speakers in Nigeria, with a specific empirical study conducted at the Federal College of Education (FCE) Katsina. In a country known for its linguistic diversity, language education plays a crucial role in promoting cross-cultural communication and understanding. However, the traditional classroom approach may not always cater to the varied learning needs of students. This study aims to assess the viability of e-learning in developing Arabic language skills in comparison to traditional classroom instruction, while also identifying challenges and advantages linked to its implementation. The research methodology utilizes a quantitative method approach. Quantitative data will be gathered through pre-and post-assessments, measuring the development of Arabic language skills among non-Arab speaker students before and after the e-learning intervention. The anticipated outcomes of this study include insights into the effectiveness of e-learning in language skill development, the identification of challenges and benefits associated with its implementation, and recommendations for optimizing the integration of e-learning in Arabic language education for non-Arab speakers.
Polyoxometallate ions as models for mineral nanoparticle interactions with proteins : insight into structure and reactivity
Authors: Greijer Björn H.
Published: August 2024

Mineral nanoparticles (NPs) form naturally by weathering of rock, and artificially by industry. They are abundant in our surroundings, so it is important to know what the effects on living organisms might be. NPs often interact with proteins, important building blocks and biocatalysts in all living things. The potential effects of NPs on proteins could be either detrimental or beneficial, and it is important to know which. Using a model system, we have identified a number of factors which can affect how NPs interact with biomolecules. These are: 1) the polarity of the metal-oxide bond, as determined by the metal atom’s electronegativity; 2) the hydrophobicity of the ligand, determined in our model by the length of an oligoglycine; 3) the ionic strength of the solution, as cations in excess will compete for binding spots with the ligand, replacing it on the NP surface; 4) The shape of the ligand, as demonstrated by structure determining peptides; 5) The relative affinity of ligands, as shown by one NP readily crystallizing with a buffer molecule rather than a peptide, but not interacting noticeably with a similar buffer. Certain NPs are unstable under specific conditions, such as pH, while others tolerate it, and complexes with ligands can differ for these NPs. In addition, compounds used in the model were used as a model in a study on antiviral activity, and were also used to produce a Sol-Gel material with remarkable efficacy in electrocatalytic water splitting.
