文摘Background:Submarine personnel often experience insomnia and reduced psychological resilience due to extended deployments in confined,high-stress environments.Effective non-pharmacological interventions are needed to improve sleep quality and resilience in this population.This study aimed to investigate the effect of virtual reality(VR)combined with forest therapy interventions on psychological resilience and sleep quality among submarine personnel with insomnia symptoms.Methods:Using convenience sampling,92 submarine personnel with insomnia symptoms undergoing recuperation at a PLA sanatorium between July 2023 and May 2025 were randomly allocated to experimental and control groups(n=46 each).The control group received forest therapy intervention,while the intervention group received combined VR and forest therapy interventions.Pre-and post-intervention assessments were conducted using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC).Results:There is no significant differences between two groups before the intervention on sleep or psychological resilience.Both groups showed significant pre-to post-intervention improvements in sleep and resilience;however,mixed-ANOVA results showed that the intervention(VR+forest therapy)group achieved significantly better outcomes than the control group at post-intervention after Bonferroni correction,including lower PSQI total and key component scores(subjective sleep quality,sleep efficiency,daytime dysfunction)and higher CD-RISC resilience scores.Conclusions:The integration of virtual reality and forest therapy effectively improved sleep quality and psychological resilience among submarine personnel with insomnia symptoms.This combined intervention shows promise as a non-pharmacological approach in military healthcare settings;however,further studies are needed to validate and generalize these findings.

文摘The advantages of genome selection(GS) in animal and plant breeding are self-evident.Traditional parametric models have disadvantage in better fit the increasingly large sequencing data and capture complex effects accurately.Machine learning models have demonstrated remarkable potential in addressing these challenges.In this study,we introduced the concept of mixed kernel functions to explore the performance of support vector machine regression(SVR) in GS.Six single kernel functions(SVR_L,SVR_C,SVR_G,SVR_P,SVR_S,SVR_L) and four mixed kernel functions(SVR_GS,SVR_GP,SVR_LS,SVR_LP) were used to predict genome breeding values.The prediction accuracy,mean squared error(MSE) and mean absolute error(MAE) were used as evaluation indicators to compare with two traditional parametric models(GBLUP,BayesB) and two popular machine learning models(RF,KcRR).The results indicate that in most cases,the performance of the mixed kernel function model significantly outperforms that of GBLUP,BayesB and single kernel function.For instance,for T1 in the pig dataset,the predictive accuracy of SVR_GS is improved by 10% compared to GBLUP,and by approximately 4.4 and 18.6% compared to SVR_G and SVR_S respectively.For E1 in the wheat dataset,SVR_GS achieves 13.3% higher prediction accuracy than GBLUP.Among single kernel functions,the Laplacian and Gaussian kernel functions yield similar results,with the Gaussian kernel function performing better.The mixed kernel function notably reduces the MSE and MAE when compared to all single kernel functions.Furthermore,regarding runtime,SVR_GS and SVR_GP mixed kernel functions run approximately three times faster than GBLUP in the pig dataset,with only a slight increase in runtime compared to the single kernel function model.In summary,the mixed kernel function model of SVR demonstrates speed and accuracy competitiveness,and the model such as SVR_GS has important application potential for GS.

文摘Accurate assessment of snowpack volumetric liquid water content and bulk density is essential for understanding snow hydrology,avalanche risk management,and monitoring cryosphere changes.This study presents a novel dual-parameter inversion framework that integrates synthetic electromagnetic modelling,dimensionality reduction,and machine learning algorithms to extract relative permittivity and log-resistivity from ground-penetrating radar(GPR)data.Traditional snowpack measurements are invasive,labor-intensive,and limited to point observations.To overcome these limitations,we developed a non-invasive,scalable,and data-driven framework that uses synthetic GPR datasets representing diverse snowpack conditions with variable moisture and density profiles.Synthetic 1D time series reflections(A-scans)are generated using finite-difference time-domain simulations in the state-of-the-art electromagnetic simulator gprMax.Principal component analysis(PCA)is applied to compress each A-scan while preserving key features,which significantly improved and enhanced the model training efficiency.Four machine learning models,including random forest,neural network,support vector machine,and eXtreme gradient boosting,are trained on PCA-reduced features.Among these,the neural network model achieved the best performance,with R^(2)>0.97 for permittivity and R 2>0.92 for resistivity.Gaussian noise(signal-to-noise ratio of 6 dB)is introduced to the synthetic data,and then targeted domain adaptation is employed to enhance generalization to field data.The framework is validated on two contrasting GPR transects in the Altay Mountains of the Chinese mainland,representing moist(T750)and wet(G125)snowpack conditions.The neural network model predictions are most consistent with the GPR derived estimates,Snowfork measurements,and snow pit data,achieving volumetric liquid water content deviation of≤1.5% and bulk density error within the range of 30-84 kg m^(-3).The results demonstrate that machine learning-based inversion,supported by realistic simulations and data augmentation enables scalable,non-invasive snowpack characterization with significant applications in hydrological forecasting,snow monitoring,and water resource management.

文摘In the pharmaceutical field,machine learning can play an important role in drug development,production and treatment.Co-crystallization techniques have shown promising potential to enhance the properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients(APIs)such as solubility,permeability,and bioavailability,all without altering their chemical structure.This approach opens new avenues for developing natural products into effective drugs,especially those previously challenging in formulation.Emodin,an anthraquinone-based natural product,is a notable example due to its diverse biological activities;however,its physicochemical limitations,such as poor solubility and easy sublimation,restricted its clinical application.While various methods have improved emodin's physicochemical properties,research on its bioavailability remains limited.In our study,we summarize cocrystals and salts produced through co-crystallization technology and identify piperazine as a favorable coformer.Conflicting conclusions from computational chemistry and molecular modeling method and machine learning method regarding the formation of an emodin-piperazine cocrystal or salt led us to experimentally validate these possibilities.Ultimately,we successfully obtained the emodin-piperazine cocrystal,which were characterized and evaluated by several in vitro methods and pharmacokinetic studies.In addition,experiments have shown that emodin has a certain therapeutic effect on sepsis,so we also evaluated emodin-piperazine biological activity in a sepsis model.The results demonstrate that co-crystallization significantly enhances emodin's solubility,permeability,and bioavailability.Pharmacodynamic studies indicate that the emodin-piperazine cocrystal improves sepsis symptoms and provides protective effects against liver and kidney damage associated with sepsis.This study offers renewed hope for natural products with broad biological activities yet hindered by physicochemical limitations by advancing co-crystallization as a viable development approach.

文摘During the image generation phase,the parserfree Flow-Style-VTON model(PF-Flow-Style-VTON),which utilizes distilled appearance flows,faces two main challenges:blurring,deformation,occlusion,or loss of the arm or palm regions in the generated image when these regions of the person occlude the garment;blurring and deformation in the generated image when the person performs large pose movements and the target garment is complex with detailed patterns.To solve these two problems,an improved virtual try-on network model,denoted as IPF-Flow-Style-VTON,is proposed.Firstly,a target warped garment mask refinement module(M-RM)is introduced to refine the warped garment mask and remove erroneous information in the arm and palm regions,thereby improving the quality of subsequent image generation.Secondly,an improved global attention module(GAM)is integrated into the original image generation network,enhancing the ResUNet’s understanding of global context and optimizing the fusion of local features and global information,thereby further improving image generation quality.Finally,the UniPose model is used to provide the pose keypoint information of the target person image,guiding the task execution during the image generation phase.Experiments conducted on the VITON dataset show that the proposed method outperforms the original method,Flow-Style-VTON,by 5.4%,0.3%,6.7%,and 2.2%in Frchet inception distance(FID),structural similarity index measure(SSIM),learned perceptual image patch similarity(LPIPS),and peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR),respectively.Overall,the proposed method effectively improves upon the shortcomings of the original network and achieves better visual results.

文摘Small datasets are often challenging due to their limited sample size.This research introduces a novel solution to these problems:average linkage virtual sample generation(ALVSG).ALVSG leverages the underlying data structure to create virtual samples,which can be used to augment the original dataset.The ALVSG process consists of two steps.First,an average-linkage clustering technique is applied to the dataset to create a dendrogram.The dendrogram represents the hierarchical structure of the dataset,with each merging operation regarded as a linkage.Next,the linkages are combined into an average-based dataset,which serves as a new representation of the dataset.The second step in the ALVSG process involves generating virtual samples using the average-based dataset.The research project generates a set of 100 virtual samples by uniformly distributing them within the provided boundary.These virtual samples are then added to the original dataset,creating a more extensive dataset with improved generalization performance.The efficacy of the ALVSG approach is validated through resampling experiments and t-tests conducted on two small real-world datasets.The experiments are conducted on three forecasting models:the support vector machine for regression(SVR),the deep learning model(DL),and XGBoost.The results show that the ALVSG approach outperforms the baseline methods in terms of mean square error(MSE),root mean square error(RMSE),and mean absolute error(MAE).

文摘Nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)is a malignant tumor prevalent in southern China and Southeast Asia,where its early detection is crucial for improving patient prognosis and reducing mortality rates.However,existing screening methods suffer from limitations in accuracy and accessibility,hindering their application in large-scale population screening.In this work,a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)-based method was established to explore the profiles of different stratified components in saliva from NPC and healthy subjects after fractionation processing.The study findings indicate that all fractionated samples exhibit diseaseassociated molecular signaling differences,where small-molecule(molecular weight cut-offvalue is 10 kDa)demonstrating superior classification capabilities with sensitivity of 90.5%and speci-ficity of 75.6%,area under receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of 0:925±0:031.The primary objective of this study was to qualitatively explore patterns in saliva composition across groups.The proposed SERS detection strategy for fractionated saliva offers novel insights for enhancing the sensitivity and reliability of noninvasive NPC screening,laying the foundation for translational application in large-scale clinical settings.

文摘Accurate land surface temperature(LST)assessment is crucial for comprehending and reducing the impacts of climate change and understanding land use evolution.This study presents an innovative method by utilizing ensemble models,advanced correlation analysis,and trend analysis to investigate its environmental influences.Google Earth Engine(GEE)was utilized to process the datasets from Landsat-7 and Landsat-8 for the five big cities of Punjab,Pakistan,from 2001 to 2023.Results from this study show significant urban warming trends,and a strong correlation between environmental variables and LST was identified.The ensemble-based three machine learning models,including XGBoost,AdaBoost,and random forest(RF),were adopted to improve the accuracy of LST evaluation.Although XGBoost and AdaBoost attained modest levels of accuracy,with R^(2) values of 0.767 and 0.706,respectively,the RF model outperformed them by achieving an exceptional R^(2) of 0.796 and RMSE of 0.476.Moreover,Pearson correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between LST and normalized difference latent heat index(NDLI)with r=-0.67,normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)with r=-0.6,and modified normalized difference water index(MNDWI)with the value of r as -0.57.In addition,wavelet analysis showed that vegetation and water offer long-term LST cooling,lasting up to 64 months,while built-up areas and bare soil contribute to short-term warming,lasting 4 to 8 months.Latent heat indicated variable cooling periods,surpassing 60 months in cities.These findings enhance the understanding of LST changes and the impact of climate change on the environment.
文摘As urbanization continues to accelerate,the challenges associated with managing transportation in metropolitan areas become increasingly complex.The surge in population density contributes to traffic congestion,impacting travel experiences and posing safety risks.Smart urban transportation management emerges as a strategic solution,conceptualized here as a multidimensional big data problem.The success of this strategy hinges on the effective collection of information from diverse,extensive,and heterogeneous data sources,necessitating the implementation of full⁃stack Information and Communication Technology(ICT)solutions.The main idea of the work is to investigate the current technologies of Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS)and enhance the safety of urban transportation systems.Machine learning models,trained on historical data,can predict traffic congestion,allowing for the implementation of preventive measures.Deep learning architectures,with their ability to handle complex data representations,further refine traffic predictions,contributing to more accurate and dynamic transportation management.The background of this research underscores the challenges posed by traffic congestion in metropolitan areas and emphasizes the need for advanced technological solutions.By integrating GPS and GIS technologies with machine learning algorithms,this work aims to pay attention to the development of intelligent transportation systems that not only address current challenges but also pave the way for future advancements in urban transportation management.

文摘Replicating the chaotic characteristics inherent in nonlinear dynamical systems via machine learning(ML)is a key challenge in this rapidly advancing interdisciplinary field.In this work,we explore the potential of variational quantum circuits(VQC)for learning the stochastic properties of classical nonlinear dynamical systems.Specifically,we focus on the one-and two-dimensional logistic maps,which,while simple,remain under-explored in the context of learning dynamical characteristics.Our findings reveal that,even for such simple dynamical systems,accurately replicating longterm characteristics is hindered by a pronounced sensitivity to overfitting.While increasing the parameter complexity of the ML model typically enhances short-term prediction accuracy,it also leads to a degradation in the model’s ability to replicate long-term characteristics,primarily due to the detrimental effects of overfitting on generalization power.By comparing the VQC with two widely recognized classical ML techniques,which are long short-term memory(LSTM)networks for timeseries processing and reservoir computing,we demonstrate that VQC outperforms these methods in terms of replicating long-term characteristics.Our results suggest that for the ML of dynamics,it is demanded to develop more compact and efficient models(such as VQC)rather than more complicated and large-scale ones.

文摘The viscosity of refining slags plays a critical role in metallurgical processes.However,obtaining accurate viscosity data remains challenging due to the complexities of high-temperature experiments,often relying on empirical models with limited predictive capabilities.This study focuses on the influence of optical basicity on viscosity in CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-based refining slags,leveraging machine learning to address data scarcity and improve prediction accuracy.An automated framework for algorithm integration,parameter tuning,and evaluation ranking framework(Auto-APE)is employed to develop customized data-driven models for various slag systems,including CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2),CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-CaF_(2),CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)-MgO,and CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)-MgO-CaF_(2).By incorporating optical basicity as a key feature,the models achieve an average validation error of 8.0%to 15.1%,significantly outperforming traditional empirical models.Additionally,symbolic regression is introduced to rapidly construct domain-specific features,such as optical basicity-like descriptors,offering a potential breakthrough in performance prediction for small datasets.This work highlights the critical role of domain-specific knowledge in understanding and predicting viscosity,providing a robust machine learning-based approach for optimizing refining slag properties.
