Abstract: A hydrocarbon feed stream may be processed by a method that may include catalytically cracking a hydrocarbon feed stream in a counter-current reactor to produce a first effluent stream, and processing a portion or all of the first effluent stream by at least one or more separations. The at least one or more separations may form at least a second effluent stream including at least 95 wt. % C4-C6 hydrocarbons, and a third effluent stream including at least 95 wt. % of ethane, propane, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the method may further include catalytically cracking a portion or all of the second effluent stream in a second reactor to form a second reactor effluent stream, combining a portion of all of the second reactor effluent stream with the first effluent stream, steam cracking a portion or all of the third effluent stream to form a steam cracked effluent stream, and combining a portion or all of the steam cracked effluent stream with the first effluent. In other embodiments, the method may further include passing a portion or all of the second effluent stream to the counter-current reactor, steam cracking a portion or all of the third effluent stream to form a steam cracked effluent stream, and combining a portion or all of the steam cracked effluent stream with the first effluent stream.

Abstract: Rapid, sensitive, and specific point-of-care testing for pathogens is crucial for disease control. Lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been employed for nucleic acid detection, but they have limited sensitivity and specificity. A fusion of catalytically inactive Cas9 endonuclease and a relaxase for example, VirD2 are used for sensitive, specific nucleic acid detection by LFA. VirD2-dCas9 specifically binds the target nucleic acid sequence via dCas9 and covalently binds to a FAM-tagged oligonucleotide via VirD2. The biotin label and FAM tag are detected using a LFA. This system, termed Vigilant (VirD2-dCas9 guided and LFA-coupled nucleic acid test) is coupled to reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification to detect pathogenic nucleic acid of interest in a sample, it exhibits an impressive limit of detection and shows no cross-reactivity, thus reducing incidents of false positives. Vigilant offers an easy-to-use, rapid, cost-effective, and robust detection platform for SARS-CoV2.

Abstract: A hybrid fiber with tunable stiffness includes a stiff fiber, a soft fiber connected in series to the stiff fiber, and a locking mechanism in contact with the soft fiber and configured to prevent the soft fiber from extending during a locked state, and to allow the soft fiber to extend during an unlocked state. The hybrid fiber has a substantially zero-bending resistance, irrespective of whether the soft fiber is in a locked or an unlocked state.

Abstract: A treated fabric for grain storage includes plural jute fibers woven together to form a fabric, the plural jute fibers having a smooth external surface; first rough regions formed into the external surface of a jute fiber of the plural jute fibers; second rough regions formed into the external surface of the jute fiber; and a paraffin wax layer located over the external surface of the jute fiber, the first rough regions, and the second rough regions. The first rough regions originate from a different substance than the second rough regions, and the second rough regions are deeper than the first rough regions.

Abstract: A method for classifying input data includes receiving the input data that describe an object, wherein the input data corresponds to plural classes; associating the input data with voxels that describe the object; calculating a real-number sequence X(n), which is associated with a measured parameter P that describes the object; quantizing the real-number sequence X(n) to generate a finite set sequence Q(n), where n describes a number of levels; generating a voxel-based weight matrix for each class of the input data; and calculating a score S for each class of the plural classes, based on a corresponding voxel-based weight matrix. The score S is a number that indicates a likelihood that the input data associated with a given sample belongs to a class of the plural classes.

Abstract: A method for estimating a status of a system includes performing independent measurements on the system, associating a value P(γ) with a Monte Carlo calculated probability measure P(γ), which depends on (1) a preset threshold Nu of unfavorable events, and (2) a total number Ñtot(γ) of the independent measurements for collecting the preset threshold Nu, setting a threshold level η requiring that a critical value γc of a power related metric γ makes a value P(γc) of the probability measure P to be substantially equal to the threshold level η, comparing the total number Ñtot(γ) to a ratio of (1) a product of a control parameter ϵ the preset threshold Nu, and (2) the threshold level η, and interrupting the independent measurements if Ñtot(γ) is larger than the ratio, or increasing an output of the system if Ñtot(γ) is smaller than or equal to the ratio.

Abstract: The present disclosure presents neural network learning systems and methods. One such method comprises receiving an input current signal; converting the input current signal to an input voltage pulse signal utilized by a memristive neuromorphic hardware of a multi-layered spiked neural network module; transmitting the input voltage pulse signal to the memristive neuromorphic hardware of the multi-layered spiked neural network module; performing a layer-by-layer calculation and conversion on the input voltage pulse signal to complete an on-chip learning to obtain an output signal; sending the output signal to a weight update circuitry module; and/or calculating, by the weight update circuitry module, an error signal and based on a magnitude of the error signal, triggering an adjustment of a conductance value of the memristive neuromorphic hardware so as to update synaptic weight values stored by the memristive neuromorphic hardware. Other methods and systems are also provided.
