文摘To address the issue of scarce labeled samples and operational condition variations that degrade the accuracy of fault diagnosis models in variable-condition gearbox fault diagnosis,this paper proposes a semi-supervised masked contrastive learning and domain adaptation(SSMCL-DA)method for gearbox fault diagnosis under variable conditions.Initially,during the unsupervised pre-training phase,a dual signal augmentation strategy is devised,which simultaneously applies random masking in the time domain and random scaling in the frequency domain to unlabeled samples,thereby constructing more challenging positive sample pairs to guide the encoder in learning intrinsic features robust to condition variations.Subsequently,a ConvNeXt-Transformer hybrid architecture is employed,integrating the superior local detail modeling capacity of ConvNeXt with the robust global perception capability of Transformer to enhance feature extraction in complex scenarios.Thereafter,a contrastive learning model is constructed with the optimization objective of maximizing feature similarity across different masked instances of the same sample,enabling the extraction of consistent features from multiple masked perspectives and reducing reliance on labeled data.In the final supervised fine-tuning phase,a multi-scale attention mechanism is incorporated for feature rectification,and a domain adaptation module combining Local Maximum Mean Discrepancy(LMMD)with adversarial learning is proposed.This module embodies a dual mechanism:LMMD facilitates fine-grained class-conditional alignment,compelling features of identical fault classes to converge across varying conditions,while the domain discriminator utilizes adversarial training to guide the feature extractor toward learning domain-invariant features.Working in concert,they markedly diminish feature distribution discrepancies induced by changes in load,rotational speed,and other factors,thereby boosting the model’s adaptability to cross-condition scenarios.Experimental evaluations on the WT planetary gearbox dataset and the Case Western Reserve University(CWRU)bearing dataset demonstrate that the SSMCL-DA model effectively identifies multiple fault classes in gearboxes,with diagnostic performance substantially surpassing that of conventional methods.Under cross-condition scenarios,the model attains fault diagnosis accuracies of 99.21%for the WT planetary gearbox and 99.86%for the bearings,respectively.Furthermore,the model exhibits stable generalization capability in cross-device settings.

文摘Gibbons are small,arboreal apes that play a critical role in tropical biodiversity and ecosystem ecology.However,nearly all species of gibbons are threatened by habitat loss,illegal trade,hunting,and other human activities.Long-term poor understanding of their genetics and evolution undermines effective conservation efforts.In this study,we analyse comparative population genomic data of four Nomascus species.Our results reveal strong genetic differentiation and gene flow among Nomascus species.Additionally,we identify genomic features that are potentially related to natural selection linked to vocalization,fructose metabolism,motor balance,and body size,consistent with the unique phenotype and adaptability of gibbons.Inbreeding,coupled with population declines due to climate change and historical human activities,leads to reduced genetic diversity and the accumulation of deleterious variations that likely affect cardiovascular disease and the reproductive potential of gibbons and further reduce their fitness,highlighting the urgent need for effective conservation strategies.

文摘Understanding the ecological adaptation of tree species can not only reveal the evolutionary potential but also benefit biodiversity conservation under global climate change.Quercus is a keystone genus in Northern Hemisphere forests,and its wide distribution in diverse ecosystems and long evolutionary history make it an ideal model for studying the genomic basis of ecological adaptations.Here we used a newly sequenced genome of Quercus gilva,an evergreen oak species from East Asia,with 18 published Fagales genomes to determine how Fagaceae genomes have evolved,identify genomic footprints of ecological adaptability in oaks in general,as well as between evergreen and deciduous oaks.We found that oak species exhibited a higher degree of genomic conservation and stability,as indicated by the absence of large-scale chromosomal structural variations or additional whole-genome duplication events.In addition,we identified expansion and tandem repetitions within gene families that contribute to plant physical and chemical defense(e.g.,cuticle biosynthesis and oxidosqualene cyclase genes),which may represent the foundation for the ecological adaptation of oak species.Circadian rhythm and hormone-related genes may regulate the habits of evergreen and deciduous oaks.This study provides a comprehensive perspective on the ecological adaptations of tree species based on phylogenetic,genome evolutionary,and functional genomic analyses.

文摘This study explores the cultural,social,and academic adaptation experiences of international students in Wenzhou,China.Based on surveys and interviews with 52 students from 20 countries—predominantly Morocco—the research investigates key challenges and coping strategies related to local integration.The findings indicate that while Wenzhou offers a generally supportive academic environment—enhanced by AI integration and practical teaching methods—language barriers continue to hinder students’daily life,academic engagement,and social interactions.Limited Mandarin proficiency made it difficult for many students to build friendships with locals and navigate everyday tasks.Cultural adaptation also presented obstacles,particularly in adjusting to local food and social norms.Despite these challenges,students employed various strategies to facilitate integration,such as attending HSK language courses,watching Chinese media,and initiating conversations with local peers.While most participants described the local community as welcoming,perceptions varied based on individual experiences and language ability.The study highlights the importance of enhanced language support and structured cross-cultural exchange initiatives in improving international students’experiences.It contributes to the broader discourse on international student mobility by offering insights from a second-tier Chinese city,emphasizing the role of institutional practices in shaping adaptation outcomes.
文摘This paper examines the complex trajectory of Chinese medicine’s scientification(科学化)during the late Qing and Republican periods(1850–1949),analyzing how traditional medical knowledge adapted to and negotiated with Western scientific paradigms.Through examination of institutional responses,knowledge transfer networks,and evolving research methodologies,this work demonstrates that the development of scientific Chinese medicine represented a sophisticated process of cultural adaptation rather than simple Westernization.The research identifies three distinct phases—early debates and responses,Japanese influence and knowledge transfers,and research methodologies and institutional development.The 1929 controversy over Yu Yunxiu’s(余云岫)proposal to abolish traditional medicine marked a crucial turning point,catalyzing systematic modernization efforts within the traditional medical community.Japanese influence proved particularly significant through the development of scientific Kampo medicine and the establishment of research networks at institutions.Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of scientific fields and Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory,the analysis reveals how different actors negotiated the transformation of traditional medical knowledge within changing social and political contexts.The study demonstrates that Japanese approaches to medical modernization,particularly in pharmacognosy research,provided an alternative model to Western biochemical analysis,emphasizing the preservation of traditional compound formulations while adopting modern scientific methods of converting Chinese medicine to modern.This study contributes to our understanding of medical modernization in East Asia by revealing the sophisticated ways in which traditional knowledge systems adapted to modern scientific requirements while maintaining their essential characteristics.
文摘With the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence(AI)technologies,the medical industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by data intelligence.As the foundational element for intelligent diagnosis,precision prevention,and public health governance,medical data is characterized by massive volume,complex structure,diverse sources,high dimensionality,strong privacy,and high timeliness.Traditional data analysis methods are no longer sufficient to meet the comprehensive requirements of data security,intelligent processing,and decision support.Through techniques such as machine learning,deep learning,natural language processing,and multimodal fusion,AI provides robust technical support for medical data cleaning,governance,mining,and application.At the data level,intelligent algorithms enable the standardization,structuring,and interoperability of medical data,promoting information sharing across medical systems.At the model level,AI supports auxiliary diagnosis and precision treatment through image recognition,medical record analysis,and knowledge graph construction.At the system level,intelligent decision-support platforms continuously enhance the efficiency and accuracy of healthcare services.However,the widespread adoption of AI in medicine still faces challenges such as privacy protection,data security,model interpretability,and the lack of unified industry standards.Based on a systematic review of AI’s key supporting technologies in medical data processing and application,this paper focuses on the compliance challenges and adaptation strategies during industry integration and proposes an adaptation framework centered on“technological trustworthiness,data security,and industry collaboration.”The study provides theoretical and practical insights for promoting the standardized and sustainable development of AI in the healthcare industry.
文摘In recent years,the heterogeneous SAR image classification task of"training on simulated data and testing on measured data"has garnered increasing attention in the field of Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition(SAR-ATR).Although current mainstream domain adaptation methods have made significant breakthroughs in addressing domain shift problems,the escalating model complexity and task complexity have constrained their deployment in real-world applications.To tackle this challenge,this paper proposes a domain adaptation framework based on linear-kernel Maximum Mean Discrepancy(MMD),integrated with a near-zero-cost pseudo-label denoising technique leveraging deep feature clustering.Our method completely eliminates the need for data augmentation and handcrafted feature design,achieving endto-end pseudo-label self-training.Competitive performance is demonstrated across three typical scenarios in the SAMPLE dataset,with the highest accuracy of 98.65%achieved in ScenarioⅢ.The relevant code is available at:https://github.com/TheGreatTreatsby/SAMPLE_MMD.

文摘The paleoenvironmental changes and adaptation strategies of hominins during the Late Pleistocene are crucial for understanding the evolution,dispersal,and behavioral shifts of early modern humans.Despite South China's significance as a nexus for hominin dispersal and handaxe technology diffusion,quantitative reconstructions of paleoenvironments linked to archaeological records remain scarce.The Sandinggai site(96.6-13.3 ka BP)in central South China,with its well-preserved stratigraphy and abundant lithic artefacts,is notable for providing valuable insights.In this study,quantitative reconstruction of the vegetation succession and climate change sequences at the site was conducted using palynological and isotopic data.The results indicated a shift from a warm-temperate evergreen and deciduous broadleaf mixed forest to a temperate deciduous broadleaf forest,with the climate transitioning from warm and humid to cooler and drier conditions.During the early phase,an increase in lithic production suggested favorable conditions for hominin survival.In the later phase,decreased lithic production and the replacement of large handaxe tools by smaller flake tools,indicated that hominins adapted to the cooler,drier climate and more open landscapes through lithic miniaturization.These findings highlight the environment-driven adaptation of lithic technology and hominin behavior,thereby shedding light on human survival adaptation strategies.

文摘Introduction Tibetan sheep,economically important animals on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau,have diversified into numerous local breeds with unique characteristics through prolonged environmental adaptation and selective breeding.However,most current research focuses on one or two breeds,and lacks a comprehensive representa-tion of the genetic diversity across multiple Tibetan sheep breeds.This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the genetic structure,diversity and high-altitude adaptation of 6 Tibetan sheep breeds using whole-genome rese-quencing data.Results Six Tibetan sheep breeds were investigated in this study,and whole-genome resequencing data were used to investigate their genetic structure and population diversity.The results showed that the 6 Tibetan sheep breeds exhibited distinct separation in the phylogenetic tree;however,the levels of differentiation among the breeds were minimal,with extensive gene flow observed.Population structure analysis broadly categorized the 6 breeds into 3 distinct ecological types:plateau-type,valley-type and Euler-type.Analysis of unique single-nucleotide polymor-phisms(SNPs)and selective sweeps between Argali and Tibetan sheep revealed that Tibetan sheep domestication was associated primarily with sensory and signal transduction,nutrient absorption and metabolism,and growth and reproductive characteristics.Finally,comprehensive analysis of selective sweep and transcriptome data sug-gested that Tibetan sheep breeds inhabiting different altitudes on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau adapt by enhancing cardiopulmonary function,regulating body fluid balance through renal reabsorption,and modifying nutrient diges-tion and absorption pathways.Conclusion In this study,we investigated the genetic diversity and population structure of 6 Tibetan sheep breeds in Qinghai Province,China.Additionally,we analyzed the domestication traits and investigated the unique adapta-tion mechanisms residing varying altitudes in the plateau region of Tibetan sheep.This study provides valuable insights into the evolutionary processes of Tibetan sheep in extreme environments.These findings will also contribute to the preservation of genetic diversity and offer a foundation for Tibetan sheep diversity preservation and plateau animal environmental adaptation mechanisms.
文摘BACKGROUND In pediatric and adolescent athletes,there is a lack of understanding about the impact of factors such as race on the structural or cardiovascular adaptations in response to exercise which may unnecessarily disqualify athletes from the competitive sport.We hypothesized that race has an impact on cardiac adaptions in non-adult athletes.AIM To explore the racial disparity in electrocardiographic(ECG)and echocardiographic(ECHO)parameters in healthy adolescent athletes.METHODS A comprehensive electronic systematic literature search using MEDLINE database was performed from inception to September 20,2024.Inclusion criteria included randomized or observational cohort studies that recruited adolescent competitive athletes in any sport discipline and compared between the Black and White races with an age range of 12-18 years.RESULTS Of 723 records that were identified by the literature search,seven studies(n=5036)were included.The mean age was 13.0-18.0 years old with male predominance.Black athletes had significantly longer PR interval[mean difference(MD)=17.49 millisecond,95% CI:11.70-23.29]and shorter QRS complex duration(MD=-7.35 millisecond,95% CI:-9.17 to-5.53)and corrected QT interval(MD=-4.95 millisecond,95% CI:-7.69 to-2.22)than the White athletes.Black athletes were approximately four times more likely to have first-degree atrioventricular(AV)block,inverted T wave,ST-segment elevation,and left atrium(LA)enlargement than their White counterparts.In terms of ECHO parameters,Black athletes had significantly greater septal wall thickness(MD=0.85 mm,95% CI:0.62-1.07),posterior wall thickness(MD=1.07 mm,95% CI:0.36-1.78),relative wall thickness(MD=0.03,95%CI:0.001-0.06),maximal wall thickness(MD=1.05 mm,95%CI:0.28-1.83),and LA diameter(MD=1.64 mm,95%CI:0.16-3.12).CONCLUSION Race has an impact on the ECG and ECHO parameters that reflect cardiac adaptations in adolescent athletes.Black athletes tend to have an increased prevalence of distinct ECG changes such as first-degree AV block and T-wave inversions compared with their White counterparts.Despite having thicker septal and posterior walls,the overall prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy did not differ between the races.
文摘This study evaluates the effectiveness of integrating local wisdom with the use of Alat Pemecah,Peredam Ombak,dan Sedimen Traps(APPOSTRAPS)or Breakers,Wave Dampers,and Sediment Traps in empowering coastal communities in Karawang,Indonesia,as a strategic response to climate change,coastal erosion,and sustainable ecotourism development.The research aims to assess the combined impact of APPOSTRAPS technology and the Jaga Alam Melalui Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Pesisir(JAM PASIR)or Protecting Nature Through Coastal Community Empowerment program in reducing coastal abrasion,restoring mangrove ecosystems,and fostering sustainable livelihoods.A mixed methods approach was applied,combining quantitative analysis of coastline changes using Geographic Information System(GIS)with Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery(2022–2024),field surveys using differential GPS(±2 m accuracy),and qualitative methods including 150 interviews,18 months of participant observation,and community documentation.Results show a coastline extension of about 400 m(±15 m),increased ecotourism revenue from IDR 11.25 million per month in 2019 to IDR 90 million in 2024,women’s participation rising from 12%to 68%,and livelihood diversification reaching 110%of the target with 98 families involved.APPOSTRAPS,a patented breakwater and sediment trap made from repurposed tires,combined with the JAM PASIR program covering mangrove-based ecotourism,MSMEs for fishermen’s wives,waste management,and the Masyarakat Sadar Lingkungan and Bencana(MASDARLINA)or Environmentally and Disaster Aware Society system,effectively mitigates erosion and supports economic growth.The study concludes that integrating indigenous knowledge and technology strengthens community resilience and provides a replicable model for sustainable coastal adaptation.
文摘This study analyzes the causes and effects of climate change in the upper Niger River basin and the implementation of local adaptation strategies based on EMS(Environmental Management Systems).It aims to strengthen ecological resilience and sustainable natural resource management practices through training,awareness-raising,and community participation.The work was conducted in three rural communes in the Kissidougou prefecture,located in the Faranah administrative region.Data collection and analysis tools included questionnaires,GPS devices,digital devices,laptops,and Excel and SPSS software.The methodology employed a participatory and multidisciplinary approach combining a literature review,surveys of 163 respondents,semi-structured interviews with 16 key informants,training for 218 technical staff and local elected officials(30%of whom were women),and awareness-raising activities for 1,800 participants in local languages.Five community forests covering 443.58 hectares were integrated into management plans,concerted,under the coordination of the NGO APARFE.The results show an increase in average temperature(+0.8°C since 1960),a decrease in rainfall(-5.3 mm/month),and increased vulnerability of populations dependent on agriculture.The integration of the EMS(Environmental Management System)has led to improvements in environmental governance,community forest management,awareness of sustainable agricultural practices,and the inclusion of women(51%of participants).In short,the EMS is an effective tool for strengthening community resilience and environmental sustainability.

文摘Conventional model transfer techniques,requiring the labelled source data,are not applicable in the privacy-protected medical fields.For the challenging scenarios,recent source data-free domain adaptation(SFDA)has become a mainstream solution but losing focus on the inter-sample class information.This paper proposes a new Credible Local Context Representation approach for SFDA.Our main idea is to exploit the credible local context for more discriminative representation.Specifically,we enhance the source model's discrimination by information regulating.To capture the context,a discovery method is developed that performs fixed steps walking in deep space and takes the credible features in this path as the context.In the epoch-wise adaptation,deep clustering-like training is conducted with two major updates.First,the context for all target data is constructed and then the context-fused pseudo-labels providing semantic guidance are generated.Second,for each target data,a weighting fusion on its context forms the anchored neighbourhood structure;thus,the deep clustering is switched from individual-based to coarse-grained.Also,a new regularisation building is developed on the anchored neighbourhood to drive the deep coarse-grained learning.Experiments on three benchmarks indicate that the proposed method can achieve stateof-the-art results.
