Under the framework of the national climate change strategy, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is currently regarded as the only viable technology capable of achieving large-scale, near-zero-emission utilization of fossil energy, thereby contributing significantly to the carbon neutrality goal of China. In this study, the brine layer of the Jilin Oilfield was selected as the research target, and numerical simulation of CO<sub>2</sub>-formation water-rock reactions was conducted using the TOUGHREACT software. The effects of CO<sub>2</sub> injection on reservoir fluid pH, mineral transformation, and ion concentrations in formation water were systematically analyzed. The simulation results indicate that both dissolution and precipitation reactions occurred simultaneously in the acidic CO<sub>2</sub> solution, with the pH of the formation water stabilizing at approximately 4.8. Overall, the reaction system exhibited a tendency for magnesite, montmorillonite, kaolinite, illite, and dolomite to precipitate, while albite, chlorite, and calcite were prone to dissolution. Different mineral assemblages were generated at various stages of the reaction process. The dissolution of CO<sub>2</sub> increased rock porosity and permeability. However, the magnitude of these changes was relatively minor, exerting little influence on the CO<sub>2</sub> injection capacity.

This is due to infected cells persisting in a dormant state for prolonged periods and reactivating infection after treatment interruption. Mathematical modeling has been instrumental in describing the interaction between HIV and the host immune system. In this study, we develop a within-host mathematical model of HIV infection that incorporates virus-dependent CD4<sup>+</sup> T-cell recruitment, Holling type II saturated incidence, and a latent reservoir. The qualitative properties of the model are investigated by establishing the positivity and boundedness of solutions, deriving the basic reproduction number, and analyzing the stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibria. A sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the parameters that most strongly influence disease transmission. Numerical simulations are carried out to validate the theoretical results and to examine the effects of key biological parameters on HIV dynamics. The results show that the viral clearance rate, infection rate, viral production efficiency, and burst size are the dominant determinants of infection persistence. Although the latent reservoir has only a limited influence on the basic reproduction number, it substantially enlarges the pool of infected cells capable of reigniting infection following treatment interruption.

In this study, novel ternary fuel blends comprising diesel, plastic waste-derived pyrolysis oil, and vegetable oils (soybean and mahua) were developed and evaluated to reduce fossil fuel dependence while promoting waste valorization and renewable energy utilization. Plastic pyrolysis oil was first blended with soybean and mahua oils to produce low-viscosity binary mixtures that satisfied the evaluated EN 590:2022 fuel property requirements, including viscosity, density, cetane number, and cold-flow properties, without the need for transesterification. The optimized binary blends were subsequently blended with diesel to prepare ternary fuels, which were tested in a CI engine under electrical loads of 1–5 kW, with the maximum measured power output approaching the generator's rated operating limit. Engine performance was assessed through power output and brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC), while exhaust emissions of CO, CO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>x</sub>, and soot were measured. Among the tested formulations, the B60-PSO blend exhibited the best overall performance, reducing BSFC by approximately 15% at the highest load compared with conventional diesel. The developed blends also demonstrated improved environmental performance, achieving reductions of up to 20% in CO, 10% in NO<sub>x</sub>, and 40% in soot emissions, while a slight increase in CO<sub>2</sub> indicated more complete combustion.

Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-source data fusion diagnosis model based on an adaptive fusion mechanism: by constructing a “data layer-feature layer” collaborative architecture, it can realize the fusion of signals from the same source at the data layer and the dynamic fusion of heterogeneous information at the feature layer by using Adaptive Convolutional Neural Network (Adaptive CNN), leveraging the advantages of spatial feature extraction through signal-image conversion.

Compared with the traditional direct splicing and fusion methods, the accuracy and F1-Score are improved by 10.3% and 11.7%, respectively.

Existing studies typically evaluate limited attention designs under narrow experimental settings, making it difficult to determine when attention is beneficial and when it provides limited value. In this work, we present a systematic empirical analysis of attention mechanisms for medical image classification. Fourteen representative attention modules spanning channel, spatial, and branch-based designs are integrated into four convolutional neural network backbones and evaluated across four primary medical imaging datasets representing large imbalanced radiology, large balanced microscopy, small balanced microscopy, and large multiclass imbalanced microscopy. A focused imbalanced ALL-IDB2 subset experiment is further conducted to examine whether channel attention remains effective under small-data minority-class scarcity. Results show that attention effectiveness is strongly scenario-dependent and governed by interactions among attention type, backbone capacity, dataset scale, class balance, and classification complexity. Channel attention emerges as the most stable and consistently beneficial design, particularly under class imbalance and limited data. Spatial attention exhibits higher variability, with lightweight hybrid designs outperforming more complex spatial modeling approaches. Branch-based attention can provide notable gains, but its benefit is primarily driven by dynamic convolution, while other branch mechanisms show inconsistent improvements. By combining performance evaluation with computational analysis and qualitative interpretability, this study provides actionable, evidence-based guidance for selecting attention mechanisms in medical imaging. Through this work, we clarify when attention improves performance and when it offers limited value, supporting principled model design over ad hoc architectural choices.</p>","PeriodicalId":72922,"journal":{"name":"Engineering reports : open access","volume":"8 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/eng2.70957","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148752611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
