文摘Feature selection serves as a critical preprocessing step inmachine learning,focusing on identifying and preserving the most relevant features to improve the efficiency and performance of classification algorithms.Particle Swarm Optimization has demonstrated significant potential in addressing feature selection challenges.However,there are inherent limitations in Particle Swarm Optimization,such as the delicate balance between exploration and exploitation,susceptibility to local optima,and suboptimal convergence rates,hinder its performance.To tackle these issues,this study introduces a novel Leveraged Opposition-Based Learning method within Fitness Landscape Particle Swarm Optimization,tailored for wrapper-based feature selection.The proposed approach integrates:(1)a fitness-landscape adaptive strategy to dynamically balance exploration and exploitation,(2)the lever principle within Opposition-Based Learning to improve search efficiency,and(3)a Local Selection and Re-optimization mechanism combined with random perturbation to expedite convergence and enhance the quality of the optimal feature subset.The effectiveness of is rigorously evaluated on 24 benchmark datasets and compared against 13 advancedmetaheuristic algorithms.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the compared algorithms in classification accuracy on over half of the datasets,whilst also significantly reducing the number of selected features.These findings demonstrate its effectiveness and robustness in feature selection tasks.

文摘Beam-tracking simulations have been extensively utilized in the study of collective beam instabilities in circular accelerators.Traditionally,many simulation codes have relied on central processing unit(CPU)-based methods,tracking on a single CPU core,or parallelizing the computation across multiple cores via the message passing interface(MPI).Although these approaches work well for single-bunch tracking,scaling them to multiple bunches significantly increases the computational load,which often necessitates the use of a dedicated multi-CPU cluster.To address this challenge,alternative methods leveraging General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units(GPGPU)have been proposed,enabling tracking studies on a standalone desktop personal computer(PC).However,frequent CPU-GPU interactions,including data transfers and synchronization operations during tracking,can introduce communication overheads,potentially reducing the overall effectiveness of GPU-based computations.In this study,we propose a novel approach that eliminates this overhead by performing the entire tracking simulation process exclusively on the GPU,thereby enabling the simultaneous processing of all bunches and their macro-particles.Specifically,we introduce MBTRACK2-CUDA,a Compute Unified Device Architecture(CUDA)ported version of MBTRACK2,which facilitates efficient tracking of single-and multi-bunch collective effects by leveraging the full GPU-resident computation.

文摘Fe_(3)Sn_(2),a ferromagnetic metal with a kagome lattice,serves as an ideal platform for exploring topological electronic states and Berry curvature due to its unique band structure.However,systematic reports on the transport properties of Fe_(3)Sn_(2)nanosheets remain scarce.We present temperature-dependent transport property measurements of Fe_(3)Sn_(2)nanosheets synthesized via chemical vapor deposition on Si/SiO_(2)substrates.The samples exhibit a robust anomalous Hall effect from 40 K to 300 K,along with a magnetoresistance sign reversal at 40 K at high magnetic fields,indicating a spin reorientation from in-plane to out-of-plane.Notably,a sharp crossover in the dominant transport contribution from electrons to holes near 200 K is observed,accompanied by distinct anomalous Hall behaviors in the two regimes,indicating a temperature-induced Lifshitz transition within the multi-band system.This divergence is potentially linked to a topological reconstruction of the Fermi surface across the transition.Our findings highlight the tunability of topological transport in two-dimensional kagome magnets and provide new insights into the interplay between band topology,dimensionality and magnetic order.

文摘The effect of adding hydroxycinnamic acids(caffeic acid,sinapic acid,p-coumaric acid and chlorogenic acid)in Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine before and after fermentation was investigated,taking into account the color parameters,anthocyanin content,and overall polyphenol levels in the wine samples.The copigmentation effect of malvidin-3-Oglucoside and sinapic acid was further explored in model solution and through theoretical calculations.The results indicated that the addition of hydroxycinnamic acids significantly enhanced the wine's color with sinapic acid(before the fermentation)showing the most pronounced color protection effect.Compared to control samples,the addition of hydroxycinnamic acids resulted in a 36%increase in total phenolic content and a 28% increase in total anthocyanin content.Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the interaction between sinapic acid and malvidin-3-O-glucoside was spontaneous and exothermic.Theoretical studies identified hydrogen bonding(HB)and dispersion forces as the main primary stabilizing forces,with the carboxyl group of sinapic acid playing a critical role while the anthocyanin backbone also influenced the interaction.

文摘Iron and steel industry is one of the main sources of air pollution emissions in China.The sintering process is an important link in the blast furnace ironmaking process,but it is also accompanied by a large number of pollutants.Under the background of ultra-low emissions,iron and steel enterprises urgently need to upgrade their existing processes to address the existing process in practical application problems.In this study,a steel group in Gansu Province was taken as an example.By comparing and analyzing the pollutant emission characteristics before and after the ultra-low emission retrofit,the collaborative control effect of the combined process on SO_(2),NO_(x),particulate matter,and dioxins after the new retrofit was systematically evaluated.The results show that after the retrofit,the concentrations of particulate matter,SO_(2) and NO_(x) have dropped to near-zero levels,and the dioxin removal efficiency has reached 98.87%,with all indicators being better than the national ultra-low emission standards.The study confirms that the optimal combination of multi-pollutant collaborative treatment technologies is the key to achieving efficient emission reduction,among which selective catalytic reduction technology has a particularly significant synergistic removal effect on NO_(x) and dioxins.This study provides an important technical reference and practical basis for the ultra-low emission retrofit of the steel industry,and has important guiding significance for promoting the green retrofit of the industry.Its ultra-low emission retrofit is of great significance for achieving green and low-carbon development.

文摘Benzalkonium chloride(BAC)is widely employed as a broad-spectrum biocide and has emerged as a significant environmental pollutant.Polymyxin B(PB)serves as the last-line defense for the treatment of Gram-negative pathogens.Previous studies reported that BAC-adapted Pseudomonas aeruginosa increased the tolerance to PB.Herein,we present the novel finding that the combination of BAC and PB exhibited synergistic antibacterial effects against P.aeruginosa.Time-killing assay demonstrated a significant reduction in bacterial cell viability.Scanning electron microscopy,zeta potential analysis,hydrophobicity measurements,and fluorescence probe analyses collectively revealed severe disruption of the cell envelope and membrane potential induced by the combination of BAC and PB.Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the BAC-PB combination notably downreg-ulated the expression of genes involved in lipid A modification and cell envelope production,including phoPQ,pmrAB,bamABCDE,lptABCDEG,lolB,yidC,and murJ.Additionally,the combination group exhibited augmented production of reactive oxygen species and diminished ATP synthesis.The expression of the genes associated with substance metabolism and energy generation was significantly impeded.This study provides significant implica-tions for the interactions of biocides and antibiotics on Gram-negative pathogens,while also addressing antibiotic resistance and developing the external treatment strategy for Pseudomonas-infected wounds and burns.

文摘[Objectives]To explore the control mode of farmland drainage pollutants and investigate the effects of ecological ditch and wetland on reducing farmland drainage pollutants in Hetao Irrigation District.[Methods]Based on the demonstration construction project of the ecological ditch-constructed wetland system in the Hetao Irrigation District,an experimental study was conducted from July to September 2023 to investigate the interception and purification effects of ecological ditches,constructed wetlands,and the combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system on farmland drainage pollutants.Key water quality parameters measured included total nitrogen(TN)concentration and total phosphorus(TP)concentration.[Results]Different treatment modes of ecological ditches and constructed wetlands have a certain removal effect on nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants in water bodies.The ecological ditches treated with Astragalus laxmannii,Melilotus officinalis,Medicago sativa,bio-ball substrate,and bio-sheet substrate showed reduction efficiencies for TN and TP of 21.09% and 23.84%,12.06% and 26.67%,20.08% and 34.15%,23.65% and 20.56%,and 19.92% and 25.83%,respectively.The emergent plant area showed reduction efficiencies of 24.28%for TN and 17.89%for TP,while the submerged plant area achieved a reduction efficiency of 10.21%for both TN and TP.Among the different treatment modes,the ecological ditch with M.sativa performed better in TP removal,whereas the bio-ball substrate treatment mode showed higher effectiveness in TN removal.In addition,the emergent plant area exhibited better TP removal performance,while the submerged plant area was more effective in TN removal.The combined system of ecological ditch and constructed wetland achieved removal rates of 37.55% for TN and 11.47% for TP.It effectively facilitates the step-by-step interception and adsorption purification of pollutants,thereby showing significant removal and purification effects on nitrogen and phosphorus contaminants.This contributes to mitigating agricultural non-point source pollution.[Conclusions]The combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system serves dual functions of agricultural drainage and pollutant interception and purification.It reduces the pollution load of farmland drainage on receiving water bodies to some extent and mitigates agricultural non-point source pollution.Therefore,it is a relatively suitable technology for managing agricultural non-point source pollution in the Hetao Irrigation District.

文摘Lattice materials have demonstrated promising potential in engineering applications owing to their exceptional lightweight,high specific strength,and tunable mechanical properties.However,the traditional homogenization methods based on the classical elasticity theory struggle to accurately describe the non-classical mechanical behaviors of lattice materials,especially when dealing with complex unit-cell geometries featured by non-symmetric configurations or non-single central node connections.In response to this limitation,this study establishes a generalized homogenization model based on the micropolar theory framework,employing Hill's boundary conditions to precisely predict the equivalent moduli of complex lattice materials.By introducing the independent rotational degree of freedom(DOF)characteristic of the micropolar theory,the proposed model successfully overcomes the limitation of conventional methods in accurately describing the asymmetric deformation and scale effects.We initially calculate the constitutive relations of two-dimensional(2D)cross-shaped multi-node chiral lattices and subsequently extend the method to three-dimensional(3D)lattices,successfully predicting the mechanical properties of both traditional and eccentric body-centered cubic(BCC)lattices.The theoretical model is validated through the finite element numerical verification which shows excellent consistency with the theoretical predictions.A further parametric study investigates the influence of geometric parameters,revealing the underlying size-effect mechanism.This paper provides a reliable theoretical tool for the design and property optimization of complex lattice materials.
