It is possible to design a simpler scanning procedure of investigation of bronchogenic adenocarcinoma angiogenesis.展开更多

Studies on the correlation between socio-economic development and eco-environmental preservation are inadequate. This paper analyzes the landscape pattern of peri-urban areas to address this issue. First, it studies the differentiation of economic development levels in Beijing peri-urban areas. Then, it explores the correlation between economic development level of each town and its landscape pattern using Pearson Correlation and grade difference indices. Furthermore, it summarizes the problems within current landscape pattern. Three conclusions are drawn from the analysis: (1) on the whole, the economic de- velopment level in Beijing peri-urban areas basically matches with landscape pattern; (2) landscape contagion degree decreases with the growth of economic development level in as much as 30% of Beijing peri-urban areas. This is an irrational phenomenon accord- ing to our judgment; (3) landscape fragmentation grades in more than half of the towns are higher than their economic development grades, suggesting that attention should be paid to excessive fragmentation of land use.展开更多

Their quasiperiodic and low-frequency oscillation features are revealed. The significant periods of low-frequency fluctuations for monthly MSL in the area of 20°N-20° S are between 43. 5 months and 50. 0 months, approximating closely to 47. 6 months which is the significant period of SST in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean. From the results of space-spectral analysis, the low-frequency fluctations of monthly MSL in the tropical Pacific Ocean appear to have a anticlockwise circularly-propagating pattern, which is, the Eastern Pacific Ocean (off-shore of Mexico) →the area of NEC (North Equatorial Current) →the Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean→the area of NECC (North Equatorial Counter-Current)→the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean. The phases of the pattern correspond to those of El Nino cycle. On the basis of the above results,a basic model is established with stepwise-regression method, which can forecast El Nino events by the variations of monthly MSL at a few stations in the tropical Pacific Ocean 4 months ahead. The correlation coefficient between the forecasted series and the observed one is 0. 89.展开更多

The results show that there is evident correlation between these two algorithms. We also propose that the reciprocal of energy difference between two nearby Dixon dips can be taken as a qualitative measure for the degree of dynamical chaos.展开更多

We aimed to find highly correlative financial data streams in local patterns. A novel distance metric function slope duration distance (SDD) is proposed, which is compatible with the characteristics of actual financial data streams. Moreover, a model monitoring correlations among local patterns (MCALP) is presented, which dramatically decreases the computational cost using an algorithm quickly online segmenting and pruning (QONSP) with O(1) time cost at each time tick t, and our proposed new grid structure. Experimental results showed that MCALP provides an improvement of several orders of magnitude in performance relative to traditional naive linear scan techniques and maintains high precision. Furthermore, the model is incremental, parallelizable, and has a quick response time.展开更多

[ Method] Using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR （RT-PCR） assay, specific primers were designed according to the GH gene sequence published on Gen- Bank. With the total RNA of Tan sheep tissue as the template, the expression levels of GH gene in pectoral muscle, leg muscle and longissimus dorsi muscle at dif- ferent ages were analyzed. [ Result] In three types of muscle tissues, the expression patterns of GH gene in different tissues at the same month of age were pectoral muscle 〉 leg muscle 〉 longissimus dorsi muscle. The expression levels of GH gene were positively correlated with live weight before slaughter, carcass weight and net meat weight, and had significant positive correlation only with net meat weight （ P 〈 0.05 ）. [ Conclusion ] The content of GH gene in different tissues gradually increased with the increasing months of age, and there were extremely significant differences in expression level of GH gene among different months of age or different sites （P〈0. 01）.展开更多

Both data of species distribution and environmental factors were tabulated based on a digitized map of Guangdong Province gridded at 0.5° latitude × 0.5° longitude. Grid-based diversity was mapped using DMAP, a distribution mapping program, and horizontal patterns were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis tests. The diversity center of the indige- nous tree species under study is located north of 23° N. These tree species exhibit significant latitudinal variation (P = 0.007 4), but no significant longitudinal difference (P = 0.052 2). Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMS) identified five different ecological species groups, while Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) showed the distribution of tree species along each of the five envi- ronmental gradients. An understanding of the environmental correlates of distribution patterns has great implication for the introduc- tion of the indigenous tree species for afforestation.展开更多

To remedy the defects of recognizer based on electromyogram(EMG), we develop a pure mechanical sensor architecture for intent pattern recognition of lower-limb motion. The sensor system is composed of an accelerometer, a gyroscope mounted on the prosthetic socket, and two pressure sensors mounted under the sole. To compensate the delay in the control of prosthesis, the signals in the stance phase are used to predict the terrain and speed in the swing phase. Specifically, the intent pattern recognizer utilizes intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC) according to the Cartesian product of walking speed and terrain. Moreover, the sensor data are fused via DempsterShafer's theory. And hidden Markov model(HMM) is used to recognize the realtime motion state with the reference of the prior step. The proposed method can infer the prosthesis user's intent of walking on different terrain, which includes level ground,stair ascent, stair descent, up and down ramp. The experiments demonstrate that the intent pattern recognizer is capable of identifying five typical terrain-modes with the rate of 95.8%. The outcome of this investigation is expected to substantially improve the control performance of powered above-knee prosthesis.展开更多

Here, we used species survey data and multi-source habitat factors to simulate the spatial distribution of species richness and four types of ecosystem services(water production, net primary productivity, carbon storage, and habitat quality) in Sanjiangyuan National Park located in Qinghai Province, China. We also analyzed the spatial distribution pattern and explored the spatial relationship between species richness and ecosystem services through Geo Detector analyses. We found that high species richness in Sanjiangyuan National Park was shown to be mainly distributed in areas with high vegetation growth on both sides of rivers. The effect of climate on the spatial distribution of species richness in the park is the highest among all the selected environmental variables. For the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem services, the relative correlation strength of single ecosystem service varied among the three main ecosystems(grassland, meadow, and wetland) and all relations are positive.展开更多

It is possible to design a simpler scanning procedure of investigation of bronchogenic adenocarcinoma angiogenesis.

文摘Chaotic dynamics of highly excited vibration of deuterium cyanide is explored by two independent approaches： （1） the Lyapunov analysis, based on the classical phase space for the levels, and （2） the Dixon dip analysis based on the concepts of pendulum dynamics and quantized levels. The results show that there is evident correlation between these two algorithms. We also propose that the reciprocal of energy difference between two nearby Dixon dips can be taken as a qualitative measure for the degree of dynamical chaos.

文摘Developing tools for monitoring the correlations among thousands of financial data streams in an online fashion can be interesting and useful work. We aimed to find highly correlative financial data streams in local patterns. A novel distance metric function slope duration distance (SDD) is proposed, which is compatible with the characteristics of actual financial data streams. Moreover, a model monitoring correlations among local patterns (MCALP) is presented, which dramatically decreases the computational cost using an algorithm quickly online segmenting and pruning (QONSP) with O(1) time cost at each time tick t, and our proposed new grid structure. Experimental results showed that MCALP provides an improvement of several orders of magnitude in performance relative to traditional naive linear scan techniques and maintains high precision. Furthermore, the model is incremental, parallelizable, and has a quick response time.

文摘[ Objective] The paper was to study the differential expression of growth hormone （GH） gene in different ages and different tissues of Tan sheep. [ Method] Using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR （RT-PCR） assay, specific primers were designed according to the GH gene sequence published on Gen- Bank. With the total RNA of Tan sheep tissue as the template, the expression levels of GH gene in pectoral muscle, leg muscle and longissimus dorsi muscle at dif- ferent ages were analyzed. [ Result] In three types of muscle tissues, the expression patterns of GH gene in different tissues at the same month of age were pectoral muscle 〉 leg muscle 〉 longissimus dorsi muscle. The expression levels of GH gene were positively correlated with live weight before slaughter, carcass weight and net meat weight, and had significant positive correlation only with net meat weight （ P 〈 0.05 ）. [ Conclusion ] The content of GH gene in different tissues gradually increased with the increasing months of age, and there were extremely significant differences in expression level of GH gene among different months of age or different sites （P〈0. 01）.

文摘Partial label learning aims to learn a multi-class classifier,where each training example corresponds to a set of candidate labels among which only one is correct.Most studies in the label space have only focused on the difference between candidate labels and non-candidate labels.So far,however,there has been little discussion about the label correlation in the partial label learning.This paper begins with a research on the label correlation,followed by the establishment of a unified framework that integrates the label correlation,the adaptive graph,and the semantic difference maximization criterion.This work generates fresh insight into the acquisition of the learning information from the label space.Specifically,the label correlation is calculated from the candidate label set and is utilized to obtain the similarity of each pair of instances in the label space.After that,the labeling confidence for each instance is updated by the smoothness assumption that two instances should be similar outputs in the label space if they are close in the feature space.At last,an effective optimization program is utilized to solve the unified framework.Extensive experiments on artificial and real-world data sets indicate the superiority of our proposed method to state-of-art partial label learning methods.

文摘In this paper we describe a method for improving the angular resolution of the electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD) technique based on a correlative matching of EBSD patterns.Standard image interpolation methods are used to detect shifts between selected regions of the EBSD patterns to an accuracy of one tenth of a pixel.Simulated data sets are used to show that such accuracy,combined with a small angle approximation in calculation of the rotation angle,allows determination of the misorientation between patterns to an accuracy of 0.01 degrees.The method is tested on samples of both single crystal aluminum and recrystallized nickel.The results demonstrate the accuracy and stability of the new method compared to the conventional method.

文摘In moiré-patterned van der Waals structures of transition metal dichalcogenides,correlated insulators can form under integer and fractional fillings,whose transport properties are governed by various quasiparticle excitations including holons,doublons and interlayer exciton insulators.Here we theoretically investigate the nearest-neighbor inter-site hoppings of holons and interlayer exciton insulators.Our analysis indicates that these hopping strengths are significantly enhanced compared to that of a single carrier.The underlying mechanism can be attributed to the strong Coulomb interaction between carriers at different sites.For the interlayer exciton insulator consisting of a holon and a carrier in different layers,we have also obtained its effective Bohr radius and energy splitting between the ground and the first-excited states.

文摘Twenty-five tree species indigenous to Guangdong Province were chosen in this study to portray their distribution patterns in relation to environmental factors. Both data of species distribution and environmental factors were tabulated based on a digitized map of Guangdong Province gridded at 0.5° latitude × 0.5° longitude. Grid-based diversity was mapped using DMAP, a distribution mapping program, and horizontal patterns were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis tests. The diversity center of the indige- nous tree species under study is located north of 23° N. These tree species exhibit significant latitudinal variation (P = 0.007 4), but no significant longitudinal difference (P = 0.052 2). Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMS) identified five different ecological species groups, while Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) showed the distribution of tree species along each of the five envi- ronmental gradients. An understanding of the environmental correlates of distribution patterns has great implication for the introduc- tion of the indigenous tree species for afforestation.

文摘Based on the regularity nature of lower-limb motion,an intent pattern recognition approach for above-knee prosthesis is proposed in this paper. To remedy the defects of recognizer based on electromyogram(EMG), we develop a pure mechanical sensor architecture for intent pattern recognition of lower-limb motion. The sensor system is composed of an accelerometer, a gyroscope mounted on the prosthetic socket, and two pressure sensors mounted under the sole. To compensate the delay in the control of prosthesis, the signals in the stance phase are used to predict the terrain and speed in the swing phase. Specifically, the intent pattern recognizer utilizes intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC) according to the Cartesian product of walking speed and terrain. Moreover, the sensor data are fused via DempsterShafer's theory. And hidden Markov model(HMM) is used to recognize the realtime motion state with the reference of the prior step. The proposed method can infer the prosthesis user's intent of walking on different terrain, which includes level ground,stair ascent, stair descent, up and down ramp. The experiments demonstrate that the intent pattern recognizer is capable of identifying five typical terrain-modes with the rate of 95.8%. The outcome of this investigation is expected to substantially improve the control performance of powered above-knee prosthesis.

文摘Species diversity exhibit a close relationship with ecosystem services, and making clear the relationship can help us understand the service value and functional mechanism of ecosystems and take measures to promote human well-being. Here, we used species survey data and multi-source habitat factors to simulate the spatial distribution of species richness and four types of ecosystem services(water production, net primary productivity, carbon storage, and habitat quality) in Sanjiangyuan National Park located in Qinghai Province, China. We also analyzed the spatial distribution pattern and explored the spatial relationship between species richness and ecosystem services through Geo Detector analyses. We found that high species richness in Sanjiangyuan National Park was shown to be mainly distributed in areas with high vegetation growth on both sides of rivers. The effect of climate on the spatial distribution of species richness in the park is the highest among all the selected environmental variables. For the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem services, the relative correlation strength of single ecosystem service varied among the three main ecosystems(grassland, meadow, and wetland) and all relations are positive.

文摘The canopy of subtropical natural forests usually consists of several co-dominant populations(CDPs),which play a crucial role in forest structure,formation of the forest environment,and ecological function.However,little attention has been given to changes in spatial patterns in CDPs during natural succession.Cyclobalanopsis glauca(Thunb.)Oerst.,Quercus variabilis Blume,and Pinus yunnanensis var.tenuifolia W.C.Cheng & Y.W.Law are canopy species that form CDPs in zonal forests along the Nanpan River in southwest China.We used the g(r) function and its bivariate distribution model,g_(12)(r),which is based on distances between pairs of points,to explore the dynamics of the three CDP species with respect to distribution patterns and spatial correlations in two secondary forests(one 30-year-old forest [30-YF] and one 57-year-old forest [57-YF]).The following key results were obtained:(1) there was a clumped pattern in the 30-YF,but the intensity of aggregation varied among populations and life stages.The distribution pattern gradually shifted to become random with longer succes sion time(i.e.,30-YF vs.57-YF),expansion of the observation scale(r=0-20 m),and at later life stages.(2) Aside from the mid-sized C.glauca trees and large P.yunnanensis trees,the trees repulsed each other at certain scales(r=0-2,5-6,11-12,14-16 m) in the 30-YF.Almost all of the life stages in the CDPs were independently correlated.This independent correlation was exacerbated by a longer succession time.(3) An increase in life stages and longer succession also promoted independent changes in intraspecific correlations.(4) Intraspecific correlations were stronger than interspecific correlations.Our results showed that reducing exclusive competition is essential to coexistence in CDPs.Inter-and intra-specific repulsion may occur at the same time,but intraspecific repulsion was the main driving force behind the random distributions and independent correlations.
