In response, this investigation focuses on the impact of loading ratios of (0, 1 %, 3 %, and 5 %) of HNMs from graphene oxide (GO) and silicon nitride (Si₃N₄). HNMs are utilized to reinforce blended polymers, including polyethylene oxide (PEO), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and nano-polyaniline (PANI) to fabricate (PEO_100K–CMC–PANI/GO–Si₃N₄) using the developed sol–gel-ultrasonic procedure. X-ray diffraction revealed semi-crystalline behavior among all samples, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed strong physical interfacial interactions among the sample components. Meanwhile, field emission scanning electron and transmission electron microscopies showed a fine dispersion and a homogeneous matrix with significant changes. The optical absorption behavior revealed continuous high absorption peaks at 200–280-nm wavelengths, which strongly impacts (GO–Si₃N₄). Increases in concentration also strongly impact (GO–Si₃N₄), which results in an improved optical energy gap for the allowed and forbidden transitions from 3.5 eV for the blended polymer to 3 and 2.9 eV by increasing the HNM content. The contributions of HNMs notably enhance the ability to reduce the zones of the bacteria, especially <em>Escherichia coli</em>, from 18 to 26 mm. In effect, HNMs with a concentration higher than 5 % assist in inhibiting the growth of lung cancer (A549) cells. As such, these NCs present good optical behavior for multi-applications, such as biosensors and biological and optoelectronic devices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52875,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biosafety and Biosecurity","volume":"7 2","pages":"Pages 55-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144106954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental results show that FiT achieves 99.9% accuracy in leak detection and 98.7% in leak type classification, surpassing other models in both accuracy and processing speed, with an efficient response time of 0.25 seconds.

Therefore, we introduce multimorphing, a novel rendering method based on the spatial data structure of 2D image patches, called the image graph. Using this approach, novel views can be rendered with up to six degrees of freedom using only a sparse set of views. The rendering process does not require 3D reconstruction of the geometry or per-pixel depth information, and all relevant data for the output are extracted from the local morphing cells of the image graph.

Many previous CAD segmentation methods have achieved impressive performance using single representations, such as meshes, CAD, and point clouds. However, existing methods cannot effectively combine different three-dimensional model types for the direct conversion, alignment, and integrity maintenance of geometric and topological information. Hence, we propose an integration approach that combines the geometric accuracy of CAD data with the flexibility of mesh representations, as well as introduce a unique hybrid representation that combines CAD and mesh models to enhance segmentation accuracy. To combine these two model types, our hybrid system utilizes advanced-neural-network techniques to convert CAD models into mesh models. For complex CAD models, model segmentation is crucial for model retrieval and reuse. In partial retrieval, it aims to segment a complex CAD model into several simple components. The first component of our hybrid system involves advanced mesh-labeling algorithms that harness the digitization of CAD properties to mesh models. The second component integrates labelled face features for CAD segmentation by leveraging the abundant multisemantic information embedded in CAD models. This combination of mesh and CAD not only refines the accuracy of boundary delineation but also provides a comprehensive understanding of the underlying object semantics.
