Air pollution disproportionately affects socially disadvantaged populations. Our study bridges the existing gap in quantifying mobility-based exposure and its associated disparity issues. We combined the granular mobility of over 500,000 unique anonymized users daily and hyperlocal air pollution data in 100 × 100-m grid cells to quantify disparities in particulate matter exposure in a racially diverse and dense urban area of New York City. Our approach advances the study of exposure and its disparity from individualized exposure tracking to a population-representative scale. We observed apparently different spatial patterns between personal exposure and exposure disparities, noting that people from Hispanic-majority and low-income neighborhoods were those most severely and disproportionately exposed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution. We reveal that race and ethnicity are much stronger indicators of exposure disparity than income. Our study further demonstrates that within-group variation contributes a major portion to exposure disparities, suggesting more granular mitigation plans are needed to target high-exposure individuals from socially disadvantaged groups in addition to generic air quality improvement.

We report the study of the thermoelectric properties of layered ternary telluride Nb3SiTe6. The temperature dependence of the thermoelectric power (TEP) evolves from nonlinear to linear when the thickness of the devices is reduced, consistent with the suppression of electron-phonon interaction caused by quantum confinement. The magnitude of TEP strongly depends on the hole density. It increases with decreasing hole density when the hole density is low, as observed in ionic-liquid-gated thin flakes. However, the device with the largest hole density possesses the highest TEP. Theoretical analysis suggests that the high TEP in the device with the largest hole density can be ascribed to the phonon-mediated intervalley scatterings. The highest TEP reaches ∼230μV/K at 370 K while the electrical resistivity of the device is maintained below 1.5mΩcm. Therefore, a large power factor PF ∼36μWcm−1K−2 comparable to the record values reported in p-type materials is obtained.

The main goal of biomedical event extraction is to structurally extract biomedical events from texts, however, the specificity of the domain makes both text modeling and data annotation very difficult. We propose a self-supervised learning-based data augmentation method in this paper and design specific augmentation strategies for biomedical entities and event triggers in biomedical texts, which solves the problem of sparse annotation data to some extent. In addition we improve the reinforcement learning-based event extraction method to improve the training efficiency of the model. The experiments on two datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

With the help of a power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme, satellite networks can simultaneously serve multiple users within limited time/spectrum resource block. However, the existence of channel estimation errors inevitably degrade the judgment on users' channel state information (CSI) accuracy, thus affecting the user pairing processing and suppressing the superiority of the NOMA scheme. Inspired by the advantages of machine learning (ML) algorithms, we propose an improved support vector machine (SVM) scheme to reduce the inappropriate user pairing risks and enhance the performance of NOMA based satellite networks with imperfect CSI. Particularly, a genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to optimize the regularization and kernel parameters of the SVM, which effectively improves the classification accuracy of the proposed scheme. Simulations are provided to demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is better than that with random user paring strategy, especially in the scenario with a large number of users.

Molecular dynamics is an extensively utilized computational tool for solids, liquids and molecules simulation. Currently, much research on molecular dynamics simulation focuses on simplifying forces or parallelizing tasks to reduce the overheads of forces computation. However, the molecular dynamics simulation still remains challenging since the communication and neighbor list construction are time-consuming in the existing algorithm. In this paper, we propose a swMD optimization strategy including a new communication mode called ghost communication to reduce superfluous communication overheads and an innovative neighbor list algorithm to improve the construction efficiency of it. Moreover, we accelerate computation by utilizing many-core resources on Sunway Taihulight and present an auto-tuning Producer-Consumer pairing algorithm to make neighbor list construction happen in fast register communication. Compared to traditional methods, swMD optimization strategy obtains a maximal 82.2% and an average of 79.4% performance improvement. We also evaluate the scalability up to 266,240 cores and the results demonstrate the high efficiency of swMD optimization strategy on communication, computation and neighbor list construction respectively.
