Firstly,K-means block clustering based on euclidean distance is proposed to reduce the data set. Mean value,standard deviation,and gray minimum value are considered as three features based on the relatinship between clustering model and data structure. Then K-means clustering algorithm based on manifold distance is utilized clustering again on the reduced data set to improve the detection efficiency. In K-means clustering algorithm based on manifold distance,line segment length on the manifold is analyzed,and a new power function line segment length is proposed to decrease the computational complexity. In order to quickly calculate the manifold distance,new allsource shortest path as the pretreatment of efficient algorithm is proposed. Based on this,the spatial feature of the image block is added in the three features to get the final precise partner clustering algorithm. The comparison with the other typical clustering algorithms demonstrates that the proposed algorithm gets good detection result. And it has better adaptability by experiments of the different real sonar images.展开更多

文摘This study investigated the influence of band microstructure induced by centerline segregation on carbide precipitation behavior and toughness in an 80 mm-thick 1 GPa low-carbon low-alloy steel plate.The quarter-thickness(1/4t)and half-thickness(1/2t)regions of the plate exhibited similar ductility and toughness after quenching.After tempering,the 1/4t region exhibited~50%and~25%enhancements in both the total elongation and low-temperature toughness at-40°C,respectively,without a decrease in yield strength,whereas the toughness of the 1/2t region decreased by~46%.After quenching,both the 1/4t and 1/2t regions exhibited lower bainite and lath martensite concentrations,but only the 1/2t region exhibited microstructure bands.Moreover,the tempered 1/4t region featured uniformly dispersed short rod-like M_(23)C_(6)carbides,and spherical MC precipitates with diameters of~20–100 nm and<20 nm,respectively.The uniformly dispersed nanosized M_(23)C_(6)carbides and MC precipitates contributed to the balance of high strength and high toughness.The band microstructure of the tempered 1/2t region featured a high density of large needle-like M3C carbides.The length and width of the large M3C carbides were~200–500 nm and~20–50 nm,respectively.Fractography analysis revealed that the high density of large carbides led to delamination cleavage fracture,which significantly deteriorated toughness.

文摘With the development of global position system（GPS）,wireless technology and location aware services,it is possible to collect a large quantity of trajectory data.In the field of data mining for moving objects,the problem of anomaly detection is a hot topic.Based on the development of anomalous trajectory detection of moving objects,this paper introduces the classical trajectory outlier detection（TRAOD） algorithm,and then proposes a density-based trajectory outlier detection（DBTOD） algorithm,which compensates the disadvantages of the TRAOD algorithm that it is unable to detect anomalous defects when the trajectory is local and dense.The results of employing the proposed algorithm to Elk1993 and Deer1995 datasets are also presented,which show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

文摘Orthogonal time frequency space(OTFS),as a novel 2-D modulation technique,has been proposed to achieve better BER performances over delayDoppler channels.In this paper,we propose two different power allocation(PA)algorithms in OTFS systems with zero forcing(ZF)or minimum mean square error(MMSE)equalization,where general formulas with PA are derived in advance under the condition of minimum BER(MBER)criterion.On one hand,a suboptimal MBER power allocation method is put forward to achieve better BER performances,and then analytical BER expressions are derived with proposed PA strategy.Considering the case of MMSE equalization,a combined subsymbol allocation(SA)and PA strategy is raised,where some subsymbols may be abandoned due to worse channel conditions,and then it is proven effectively to improve BER performances through theoretical and simulation results.Furthermore,BER performances with proposed joint SA and PA strategy are also investigated in delay-Doppler channels,where an improved message passing(MP)receiver based on equivalent channel matrix with PA is given.
文摘从省份尺度探讨土地利用动态变化及其生态系统服务价值(Ecosystem Service Value,ESV)响应对区域土地利用规划和生态建设评价极为重要。基于宁夏回族自治区2000、2010、2015、2020年4期Landsat ETM+、TM和OLI遥感影像,采用面向对象分类方法,构建区域2000—2020年土地利用数据库,利用土地利用动态度与ESV指数方法,并构建适用于本区域的单位面积ESV当量,分析了2000—2020年宁夏土地利用转型及其ESV响应过程。结果表明:草地和耕地是宁夏主要的土地利用类型,平均占比分别为44.7%和31.7%,随着生态工程的实施,区域耕地减少,林地和草地增加,而社会经济发展使得建设用地持续扩张。随着土地利用转型,2000—2020年宁夏ESV呈现增加—减小—增加的变化过程,范围为450.9亿~459.1亿元,2010年最高。草地和耕地是宁夏ESV的主要贡献地类,其中草地的ESV贡献为35.9%,明显低于其面积占比,而林地和湿地的ESV贡献高于其面积占比。吴忠市、固原市、中卫市、银川市、石嘴山市对宁夏ESV总量的多年平均贡献依次为29.9%、27.5%、20.5%、14.5%、7.6%。2000—2020年,各地市对全区ESV的贡献比例较为稳定,但由于各类土地利用在地市的分布差异较大,地市各个土地利用类型的ESV对该类总值的贡献发生变化。

文摘According to the characteristics of sonar image data with manifold feature,the sonar image detection method based on two-phase manifold partner clustering algorithm is proposed. Firstly,K-means block clustering based on euclidean distance is proposed to reduce the data set. Mean value,standard deviation,and gray minimum value are considered as three features based on the relatinship between clustering model and data structure. Then K-means clustering algorithm based on manifold distance is utilized clustering again on the reduced data set to improve the detection efficiency. In K-means clustering algorithm based on manifold distance,line segment length on the manifold is analyzed,and a new power function line segment length is proposed to decrease the computational complexity. In order to quickly calculate the manifold distance,new allsource shortest path as the pretreatment of efficient algorithm is proposed. Based on this,the spatial feature of the image block is added in the three features to get the final precise partner clustering algorithm. The comparison with the other typical clustering algorithms demonstrates that the proposed algorithm gets good detection result. And it has better adaptability by experiments of the different real sonar images.

文摘Alfalfa is the most widely cultivated perennial legume forage crop worldwide.Drought is one of the major environmental factors influencing alfalfa productivity.However,the molecular mechanisms underlying alfalfa responses to drought stress are still largely unknown.This study identified a drought-inducible gene of unknown function,designated as Medicago sativa DROUGHT-INDUCED UNKNOWN PROTEIN 1(MsDIUP1).MsDIUP1 was localized to the nucleus,chloroplast,and plasma membranes.Overexpression of MsDIUP1 in Arabidopsis resulted in increased tolerance to drought,with higher seed germination,root length,fresh weight,and survival rate than in wild-type(WT)plants.Consistently,analysis of MsDIUP1 over-expression(OE)alfalfa plants revealed that MsDIUP1 also increased tolerance to drought stress,accompanied by physiological changes including reduced malondialdehyde(MDA)content and increased osmoprotectants accumulation(free proline and soluble sugar),relative to the WT.In contrast,disruption of MsDIUP1 expression by RNA interference(RNAi)in alfalfa resulted in a droughthypersensitive phenotype,with a lower chlorophyll content,higher MDA content,and less osmoprotectants accumulation than that of the WT.Transcript profiling of alfalfa WT,OE,and RNAi plants during drought stress showed differential responses for genes involved in stress signaling,antioxidant defense,and osmotic adjustment.Taken together,these results reveal a positive role for MsDIUP1 in regulating drought tolerance.

文摘As the second most abundant natural polymer,accounting for approximately 30%of the organic carbon in the biosphere,lignin plays an essential role in plant development.However,a high lignin content affects the nutritional quality of alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.),the most widely cultivated perennial legume forage crop.Histological analysis indicated that G-lignin and S-lignin were present in the stem,leaf,and petiole of alfalfa,and the deposition of lignin increased gradually in descending internodes.Neutral detergent fiber(NDF),acid detergent fiber(ADF),and acid detergent lignin(ADL)contents continually increased from the top to the bottom of the stem,and ADL content showed a similar trend in leaves.Alfalfa leaves and stems from five different nodes(1,2,4,6,and 8)were used as materials to investigate molecular regulatory mechanisms in lignin synthesis by RNA sequencing.Respectively 8074 and 7752 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified in leaves and stems,and 1694 DEGs were common to the two tissues.‘‘Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis”was the most enriched pathway in both leaves and stems,and 134 key regulatory genes in lignin synthesis were identified by a weighted gene co-expression network analysis.The NAC family transcription factor MsNST1 gene was highly expressed in old leaf and stem tissues.The deposition pattern of G-and S-lignin differed among M.truncatula wild-type,nst1 mutants,and overexpression lines,and the transcription levels of lignin synthesis genes such as HCT,F5H,and COMT in these three materials also differed.These results suggest that MsNST1 affects lignin synthesis in alfalfa.These findings provide a genetic basis and abundant gene resources for further study of the molecular mechanisms of lignin synthesis,laying a foundation for low-lignin alfalfa breeding research.

文摘This paper investigates the system outage performance of a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer(SWIPT)based two-way decodeand-forward(DF)relay network,where potential hardware impairments(HIs)in all transceivers are considered.After harvesting energy and decoding messages simultaneously via a power splitting scheme,the energy-limited relay node forwards the decoded information to both terminals.Each terminal combines the signals from the direct and relaying links via selection combining.We derive the system outage probability under independent but non-identically distributed Nakagami-m fading channels.It reveals an overall system ceiling(OSC)effect,i.e.,the system falls in outage if the target rate exceeds an OSC threshold that is determined by the levels of HIs.Furthermore,we derive the diversity gain of the considered network.The result reveals that when the transmission rate is below the OSC threshold,the achieved diversity gain equals the sum of the shape parameter of the direct link and the smaller shape parameter of the terminalto-relay links;otherwise,the diversity gain is zero.This is different from the amplify-and-forward(AF)strategy,under which the relaying links have no contribution to the diversity gain.Simulation results validate the analytical results and reveal that compared with the AF strategy,the SWIPT based two-way relaying links under the DF strategy are more robust to HIs and achieve a lower system outage probability.

文摘Orbital angular momentum(OAM)conversion is critical in understanding interactions between a structural sound field and a planar lattice.Herein,we explore the evolution of a monochromatic acoustic vortex beam(AVB)that is scattered by a phononic crystal(PnC)or a correlated random lattice.The phenomenon is ascribed to the enhanced orbit–orbit angular momentum coupling induced by the band structure.By modifying the coupling condition,accurate and continuous micromanipulation of AVBs can be achieved,including the transverse/lateral gravity shift,the dynamics of the phase singularities,and the spatial distribution of acoustic pressure,etc.This research provides insight to the inhomogeneous coupling of AVBs with both propagating Bloch waves and localized Anderson modes,and may facilitate development of novel OAM-based acoustic devices for active sound field manipulation.
