Background Many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have key roles in different human biologic processes and are closely linked to numerous human diseases, according to cumulative evidence. Predicting potential lncRNA-disease associations can help to detect disease biomarkers and perform disease analysis and prevention. Establishing effective computational methods for lncRNA-disease association prediction is critical. Results In this paper, we propose a novel model named MAGCNSE to predict underlying lncRNA-disease associations. We first obtain multiple feature matrices from the multi-view similarity graphs of lncRNAs and diseases utilizing graph convolutional network. Then, the weights are adaptively assigned to different feature matrices of lncRNAs and diseases using the attention mechanism. Next, the final representations of lncRNAs and diseases is acquired by further extracting features from the multi-channel feature matrices of lncRNAs and diseases using convolutional neural network. Finally, we employ a stacking ensemble classifier, consisting of multiple traditional machine learning classifiers, to make the final prediction. The results of ablation studies in both representation learning methods and classification methods demonstrate the validity of each module. Furthermore, we compare the overall performance of MAGCNSE with that of six other state-of-the-art models, the results show that it outperforms the other methods. Moreover, we verify the effectiveness of using multi-view data of lncRNAs and diseases. Case studies further reveal the outstanding ability of MAGCNSE in the identification of potential lncRNA-disease associations. Conclusions The experimental results indicate that MAGCNSE is a useful approach for predicting potential lncRNA-disease associations.
This study presents an experimental investigation of the dynamic properties of underwater explosion (UNDEX) bubble pairs produced with a range of phase differences Δθ, defined as 2π(t1−t2)/Tosc, where ti (i = 1,2) represents the bubble inception moment and Tosc is the experimentally obtained first period of a single UNDEX bubble. Each bubble was generated by a spherical hexogen explosive charge detonated in a cubical tank and observed via high-speed photography. The phase difference was adjusted by setting different delays between the two detonations, with an accuracy of 1.0 ms. Experiments were conducted with both horizontally and vertically positioned bubble pairs and with single bubbles as well. UNDEX bubble pairs are subject to a larger buoyancy effect than cavitation or spark-generated bubble pairs. The resultant bubble behavior in the bubble–bubble interaction is more complex and is yet to be understood. In our experiments, various bubble parameters, including bubble pulsation periods, bubble elongation ratios, and collapse-induced shock wave pressures bubble, were measured and studied. Dependence of the bubble dynamics on Δθ was found, demonstrating the significant influence of Δθ on the morphology and shock wave pressure of bubble pairs. The findings suggest a method of strengthening or weakening the damage potential of an UNDEX bubble pair based on the proper adjustment of the delay between two detonations. It may also lead to a better understanding of the dynamics of interacting bubbles with buoyancy effects.
Interaction between a two-phase fluid and a structure involving contact line dynamics is a common phenomenon. In this paper, we aim to develop a fluid–solid coupling model that can study contact line dynamics in the case of a high density ratio between the two fluids. The fluids are treated using a multiphase lattice Boltzmann flux solver (MLBFS) that uses the cell-centered finite volume method to obtain macroscopic flow variables, and the interface fluxes are reconstructed locally by the standard lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) solutions. This approach retains the advantages of the original LBM while being more flexible in handling nonuniform grids and external force terms. The immersed boundary method (IBM) is an effective method for processing structural information, and here, the implicit boundary-condition-enforced IBM is used to accurately satisfy the Dirichlet boundary condition (no-slip boundary). Moreover, the Neumann boundary condition is deemed to represent the contribution from the structure boundary flux and is incorporated into the IB-MLBFS. The developed IB-MLBFS is verified by several test cases, including contact line motion of a two-phase fluid along a circular cylinder and droplet spreading on a flat plate, where both equilibrium results and dynamic process are correctly reproduced for different density ratios and wettability conditions. Furthermore, based on the IB-MLBFS established here, the contact line dynamics of a two-phase fluid between two square cylinders or two circular cylinders is studied. The effects of distance, structure size, and wettability on the interface state and the contact angle are studied in detail. The robustness of the proposed model is verified.
This paper presents numerical investigations of the nonlinear interactions between two underwater explosion (UNDEX) bubbles using the compressible Eulerian finite-element method (EFEM). The volume of fluid method is applied to capture the multi-fluid interface. In this model, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous products inside the UNDEX bubble are described by the equation of state for Jones–Wilkins–Lee, which allows us to consecutively simulate the propagation of the primary explosion shock wave and multi-period bubble pulsations. To verify the efficiency and accuracy of the present model, comparisons with experimental data are performed, showing that both the dynamic behaviors of oscillating bubbles and the pressure profiles of primary shock waves, bubble pulsations, and jetting loads are highly consistent. In addition, it is found that the EFEM model can satisfactorily reproduce the complex characteristics of interacting bubbles, such as the coalescence and splitting that occur during later pulsating cycles in bubbles. On this basis, the effects of the initial bubble–bubble distance γbb and buoyancy parameter δ on the features of bubble interactions and the corresponding pressure loads in the flow field are analyzed and discussed. In particular, the pressure induced by two identical UNDEX bubbles (each generated by detonation of an explosive with weight W) is compared to that induced by a single bubble generated by an explosive with weight W or 2W to provide the basic technical support and reference for the design of multiple-weapon attacks in military engineering applications.
