The cycle of length m is denoted by Cm = v1v2…vmv1. G^((1))_(m) (m ≥ 5) is the graph obtained from Cm by adding two edges v1v3 and vlvl+2 (3 ≤ l ≤ m−2), G^((2))m (m ≥ 4) is the graph obtained from Cm by adding two edges v1v3 and v2v4. The famous Zarankiewicz’s conjecture on the crossing number of the complete bipartite graph Km,n states that cr(Km,n)=Z(m,n)=[m/2][m-1/2][n/2[n-1/2].Based on Zarankiewicz’s conjecture, a natural problem is to study the change in the crossingnumber of the graphs obtained from the complete bipartite graph by adding certain edge sets.If Zarankiewicz’s conjecture is true, this paper proves that cr(G^((1))_(m)+Kn)=Z(m,n)+2[n/2] and cr(G^((2))_(m)+Kn)=Z(m,n)+n.展开更多

Following a brief introduction to some properties of the proposed method, a comparative analysis based on 36 sets of generalized fuzzy numbers was performed, in which the degree of similarity of the fuzzy numbers was calculated with the proposed method and seven methods established by previous studies in the literature. The results of the analytical comparison show that the proposed similarity outperforms the existing methods by overcoming their drawbacks and yielding accurate outcomes in all calculations of similarity measures under consideration. Finally, in a numerical example that involves recommending cars to customers based on a nine-member linguistic term set, the proposed similarity measure proves to be competent in addressing fuzzy number recommendation problems.展开更多

Quantum computers differ significantly from classical computers, necessitating a distinct approach to algorithm design, which involves taming quantum mechanical phenomena. This paper extends the numbering of computable programs to be applied in the quantum computing context. Numbering computable programs is a theoretical computer science concept that assigns unique numbers to individual programs or algorithms. Common methods include Gödel numbering which encodes programs as strings of symbols or characters, often used in formal systems and mathematical logic. Based on the proposed numbering approach, this paper presents a mechanism to explore the set of possible quantum algorithms. The proposed approach is able to construct useful circuits such as Quantum Key Distribution BB84 protocol, which enables sender and receiver to establish a secure cryptographic key via a quantum channel. The proposed approach facilitates the process of exploring and constructing quantum algorithms.展开更多

文摘Determining the crossing number of a given graph is NP-complete. The cycle of length m is denoted by Cm = v1v2…vmv1. G^((1))_(m) (m ≥ 5) is the graph obtained from Cm by adding two edges v1v3 and vlvl+2 (3 ≤ l ≤ m−2), G^((2))m (m ≥ 4) is the graph obtained from Cm by adding two edges v1v3 and v2v4. The famous Zarankiewicz’s conjecture on the crossing number of the complete bipartite graph Km,n states that cr(Km,n)=Z(m,n)=[m/2][m-1/2][n/2[n-1/2].Based on Zarankiewicz’s conjecture, a natural problem is to study the change in the crossingnumber of the graphs obtained from the complete bipartite graph by adding certain edge sets.If Zarankiewicz’s conjecture is true, this paper proves that cr(G^((1))_(m)+Kn)=Z(m,n)+2[n/2] and cr(G^((2))_(m)+Kn)=Z(m,n)+n.

文摘The COVID-19 lockdown was a typical example of extreme emission reduction,providing an opportunity to study the impact of lockdown measures on air pollution.Particle number concentrations(PNC)originate from direct emissions or through new particle formation events.However,their variations during the lockdown period are under investigation.This study focuses on Luohe,a city on the southern edge of the North China Plain,analyzing the changes in PNC and its sources before,during,and after the COVID-19 lockdown.From March 25^(th)to May 31^(st),2022,real-time PNC measurements were conducted using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer for particle size.Results showed an 11.2%decrease in PNC during the lockdown compared to pre-lockdown and a 3.6%decrease compared to post-lockdown,indicating reduced local emissions and weakened regional transportation during the lockdown.Positive Matrix Factorization analysis identified six sources contributing to the total PNC,including photochemical nucleation,aged photochemical nucleation,gasoline vehicle emissions,diesel vehicle emissions,coal and biomass combustion,and secondary aerosols.The significant changes in source emissions indicate a substantially reduced traffic volume after the implementation of lockdown measures(2644.8#/cm^(3),2202.2#/cm^(3),2792.7#/cm^(3)).Concurrently,photochemical nucleation(310.1#/cm^(3),306.3#/cm^(3),393.1#/cm^(3))and photochemical nucleation aging(592.8#/cm^(3),744.1#/cm^(3),810.7#/cm^(3))exhibited increasing trends,while coal/biomass combustion(1656.6#/cm^(3),1586.2#/cm^(3),980.0#/cm^(3))and secondary sources(999.4#/cm^(3),791.1#/cm^(3),804.1#/cm^(3))showed decreasing trends.In summary,the contributions of traffic emissions to PNC highlight the potential for targeted traffic management strategies to improve urban air quality.

文摘Rice grain yield is primarily determined by three key agronomic traits:panicle number,grain number per panicle,and grain weight(GW).However,the inherent tradeoffs among these yield components remain a persistent challenge in rice breeding programs.Notably,compared with GW,brown rice weight(BRW)provides a more direct metric associated with actual grain yield potential.In this study,we conducted a two-year replicated genome-wide association study to elucidate the genetic architecture of BRW and identify new loci regulating GW.Among seven consistently detected loci across experimental replicates,four were not co-localized with previously reported genes associated with BRW or GW traits.BRW1.1,one of the four newly identified loci,was found to encode a novel RNA-binding protein.Functional characterization revealed that BRW1.1 acts as a negative regulator of BRW,potentially through modulating mRNA translation processes.Intriguingly,through integrated analysis of mutant phenotypes and haplotype variations,we demonstrated that BRW1.1 mediates the physiological tradeoff between GW and panicle number.This study not only delineates the genetic determinants of BRW but also identifies BRW1.1 as a promising molecular target for breaking the yield component tradeoff in precision rice breeding.

文摘Purpose:With the growth of knowledge and increasing competition,the assessment of scientific articles has become a challenging issue.Previous research suggests that multiple variables influence the number of academic articles.In this study,we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the beginning of chancellorship in top-ranked universities and the number of chancellors’articles.Design/methodology/approach:Chancellors of 200 top universities worldwide were randomly selected from the top 1,000 universities listed on the topuniversities.com profile page.Data were collected through the Scopus Database using a checklist that contained variables such as gender,age,being active or nonactive,and continent.The mean number of articles during the period of three years before the beginning of the chancellorship until three years after that was compared using the Friedman test.Findings:Considering the starting point of the chancellorship,the data showed that the mean number of published articles per year decreased significantly after beginning the chancellorship.Among the chancellors,active chancellors(having a minimum of one article each year),male chancellors,and those from North America indicated a decrease in the number of publications.Research limitations:A major limitation was that in some universities,governance falls under vicechancellor(s)rather than chancellor(s).Practical implications:The study underscores the difficulty of balancing administrative responsibilities,such as university chancellorship,with academic pursuits.Originality/value:For the first time,the results revealed that beginning chancellorship negatively impacts publication output.

文摘A set S of vertices of a graph G is called a decycling set if G-S is acyclic.The smallest size of a decycling set is called the decycling number of G and is denoted by ∇(G).In this paper,we investigate the decycling number of type-k Halin graphs,focusing on those that are formed from trees that have just two degrees k and 3.For any type-k Halin graph G of order n,we prove that(k-2)n+k^(2)-4k+5/(k-1)^(2)≤∇(G)≤n+k-3/k-1.The result not only supports the largest forest conjecture due to Albertson and Berman(1976),but also offers a tight lower bound for the decycling number of type-3 Halin graphs and several type-k Halin graphs.Moreover,a new formula to determine the cardinality of any decycling set S of a type-k Halin graph G is provided.
文摘The effects of Reynolds number on the compressor efficiency are investigated by tests on three highlyloaded 10-stage axial compressors.The tests are conducted by adjusting the inlet total pressure,and thus different Reynolds numbers are obtained.The results indicate that the compressor efficiency decreases when the Reynolds number decreases.Based on the test results,reasonable correlations between the Reynolds number and compressor efficiency for each of the three compressors are obtained.The comparison between the test result-deduced correlations and Wassell correlations indicates that the effects of Reynolds number on the efficiency predicted by the Wassell correlations are less than those obtained by the test result-deduced correlations.Owing to the complex loss models and flow behavior in highly-loaded multi-stage compressors,additional influence factors,including the tip clearance and the compressor inlet duct design,should be considered for performance correlations.Nevertheless,the Wassell correlations are valid for the tendency prediction of performance changes relating to the Reynolds number,while accurate correlations still largely depend on the specific test results.

文摘Productive tiller number(PTN)is a pivotal trait that significantly influences wheat grain yield.To date,there have been limited reports on the cloning of genes that regulate PTN in wheat.The quantitative trait locus(QTL)QPtn.sau-4B,associated with PTN,was previously mapped between the markers KASP-1 and KASP-3 on the chromosome 4B.Here,utilizing 12 newly developed markers and phenotypic data of PTN from recombinants identified within this interval,QPtn.sau-4B was further fine-mapped to a 2.58 Mb interval on wheat chromosome arm 4BS.Within this interval,we identified 14 genes with high-confidence and 32 genes with low-confidence.A 0.17 Mb deletion fragment contained TraesCS4B03G0092600 and TraesCS4B03G0093100,which were assigned as candidate genes for QPtn.sau-4B.Additionally,QPtn.sau-4B had potential to enhance both PTN and grain yield in wheat.Cloning this locus would support the development of wheat cultivars with increased grain yield.

文摘In 1694,Gregory and Newton proposed the problem to determine the kissing number of a rigid material ball.This problem and its higher dimensional generalization have been studied by many mathematicians,including Minkowski,van der Waerden,Hadwiger,Swinnerton-Dyer,Watson,Levenshtein,Odlyzko,Sloane and Musin.In this paper,we introduce and study a further generalization of the kissing numbers for convex bodies and obtain some exact results,in particular for balls in dimensions three,four and eight.
