Microblogs provide a continuously evolving source of information, but their short, noisy, contextual, and rapidly changing nature makes effective search, exploration, summarisation, and analysis challenging. This paper presents a unified framework fo...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and related human coronaviruses (hCoVs) regulate host gene expression to facilitate viral replication and evade innate immunity. SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural protein 1 (Nsp1) suppresses host ge...

Accurate estimation of stratified forest canopy height is crucial for understanding forest dynamics and estimating carbon stocks. While remote sensing is widely used for regional canopy mapping, its accuracy is often limited in mountainous and dense...

Neutral beam injection (NNBI) is an auxiliary heating method for magnetically confined fusion, in which the accelerating power supply must maintain stringent dynamic stability. This work focuses on a 5.6 MW three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) con...
