文摘Heterogeneous polymerization represents a widely employed method in the polyolefin industry.In recent years,various heterogenization strategies for late transition metal catalysts have been developed,enabling effective control of polymer morphology and optimization of catalytic performance.However,while most studies have focused on designing anchoring groups and advancing support approaches,systematic investigations into how the support influences the catalytic behavior of the late transition metal catalysts.In this work,we fabricated supported α-diimine nickel catalysts by functionalizing the ligand with alkyl alcohol chains of varying lengths and supporting them onto MgCl_(2)supports.The ethylene polymerization behavior of these catalysts was then investigated.By precisely adjusting the alkyl alcohol chain length,the distance between the catalytically active metal center and the support surface was modulated.This approach demonstrates that support-induced steric hindrance effect can be effectively regulated by controlling the separation distance between the metal center and the support surface.

文摘To obtain protease-and lipase-producing halotolerant/halophilic strains suitable for shrimp paste(SP)fermentation,the microbial community structure and enzyme-producing microbial species were analyzed and predicted using metagenomics in 3 high-salt samples.Based on the linear salt gradient method,128 strains were screened.Eight halotolerant/halophilic strains highly producing 2 types of enzymes were identified and inoculated into lowsalt SP to assess the heterogeneity of SP.Physicochemical properties of SP indicated that Bacillus subtilis XJ-11,Virgibacillus halodenitrificans XJ-229,Piscibacillus halophilus XY-193,and Bacillus vallismortis HT-73 were more suitable for rapid fermentation of SP.Nutritional analysis showed that SP inoculated with V.halodenitrificans XJ-229 had the highest free amino acid content and SP inoculated with P.halophilus XY-193 had the highest unsaturated fatty acid content.The former had prominent umami,sweetness,and meaty aroma,weak bitterness and fishy flavor,and the closest flavor to the control(CP)based on sensory evaluation and E-nose analysis.A total of 61 volatile compounds were detected in all samples by SPME-GC-MS,of which 32,23,40,24,and 28 were detected in the CP and SP inoculated with B.subtilis XJ-11,V.halodenitrificans XJ-229,P.halophilus XY-193,and B.vallismortis HT-73,respectively,with 12,11,12,9,and 9 key flavor compounds.Among several samples,the highest levels of pyrazines,aldehydes,alcohols,and ketones were found in SP inoculated with B.subtilis XJ-11,V.halodenitrificans XJ-229,P.halophilus XY-193,and B.vallismortis HT-73,respectively.These results suggested that inoculation of different enzyme-producing halotolerant/halophilic strains resulted in differences in SP quality and main flavors.This study provides some references for process control and interpretation of heterogeneous mechanisms in low-salt SP fermented by inoculated strains.

文摘Magnesium alloys usually exhibit poor ductility because of their limited slip systems at room temperature.To overcome this intrinsic limitation,heterostructure design has emerged as an effective strategy for enhancing their mechanical performance,yet the development of orientation-based heterogeneous magnesium alloys remains relatively unexplored.In this work,by varying the triaxial cyclic compression(TCC)applied to an extruded Mg-2.9Y(wt.%)alloy,we obtained two materials that possessed comparable bimodal grain-size characteristics but showed notable differences in orientation heterogeneity.The material processed by TCC along three orthogonal directions for five complete cycles exhibited a predominantly hard orientation,with hard refined grains embedded within coarse grains of the same hard orientation.By applying an additional compression to plane A,the other material mainly comprising the soft orientation was obtained,with hard-oriented refined grains embedded in soft-oriented coarse grains.These materials exhibited quite different tensile properties and work hardening abilities.By combining microstructural characterization and crystal plasticity modeling,deformation micromechanism of the materials under tensile loading was explored.In the former,poor deformation coordination between the different domains led to strain localization in the refined grain region.However,the latter experienced a significant orientation transition due to tensile twinning.This promoted non-basalslip and improved deformation compatibility,resulting in the more persistent hetero-deformation induced hardening.These findings provide fundamental insights into the micromechanical behavior of heterostructured alloys and offer a new strategy for designing high-performance hexagonal close-packed materials by introducing heterogeneous orientation distributions.

文摘With the increasing complexity of malware attack techniques,traditional detection methods face significant challenges,such as privacy preservation,data heterogeneity,and lacking category information.To address these issues,we propose Federated Dynamic Prototype Learning(FedDPL)for malware classification by integrating Federated Learning with a specifically designed K-means.Under the Federated Learning framework,model training occurs locally without data sharing,effectively protecting user data privacy and preventing the leakage of sensitive information.Furthermore,to tackle the challenges of data heterogeneity and the lack of category information,FedDPL introduces a dynamic prototype learning mechanism,which adaptively adjusts the clustering prototypes in terms of position and number.Thus,the dependency on predefined category numbers in typical K-means and its variants can be significantly reduced,resulting in improved clustering performance.Theoretically,it provides a more accurate detection of malicious behavior.Experimental results confirm that FedDPL excels in handling malware classification tasks,demonstrating superior accuracy,robustness,and privacy protection.

文摘This paper presents an adaptive formation control method for a heterogeneous robot swarm,utilising a multilevel formation task tree to model various types of formation tasks and a single-state distributed k-winner-take-all(S-DKWTA)algorithm to address the MRTA problem.In addition,we propose an enhanced load reassignment algorithm to resolve conflicts when using S-DKWTA.The S-DKWTA algorithm demonstrates the capability to manage multiple objectives and dynamically select leaders in real-time,thereby optimising formation efficiency and reducing energy consumption.The proposed approach integrates an enhanced artificial potential field(APF)to govern the motion of heterogeneous robot systems which encompasses both unmanned ground vehicles(UGVs)and unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),thereby achieving collision and obstacle avoidance.Simulations employing UGVs and UAVs swarm to achieve formation movement demonstrate the efficacy of this approach.The amalgamation of S-DKWTA and improved APF ensures stable and adaptable formation control,underscoring its potential for diverse multirobot applications.

文摘Urban traffic generates massive and diverse data,yet most systems remain fragmented.Current approaches to congestion management suffer from weak data consistency and poor scalability.This study addresses this gap by proposing the Urban Traffic Congestion Unified Metadata Model(UTC-UMM).The goal is to provide a standardized and extensible framework for describing,extracting,and storing multisource traffic data in smart cities.The model defines a two-tier specification that organizes nine core traffic resource classes.It employs an eXtensible Markup Language(XML)Schema that connects general elements with resource-specific elements.This design ensures both syntactic and semantic interoperability across siloed datasets.Extension principles allow new elements or constraints to be introducedwithout breaking backward compatibility.Adistributed pipeline is implemented usingHadoop Distributed File System(HDFS)and HBase.It integrates computer vision for video and natural language processing for text to automate metadata extraction.Optimized row-key designs enable low-latency queries.Performance is tested with the Yahoo!Cloud Serving Benchmark(YCSB),which shows linear scalability and high throughput.The results demonstrate that UTC-UMM can unify heterogeneous traffic data while supporting real-time analytics.The discussion highlights its potential to improve data reuse,portability,and scalability in urban congestion studies.Future research will explore integration with association rulemining and advanced knowledge representation to capture richer spatiotemporal traffic patterns.

文摘In recent years,three-dimensional reconstruction technologies that employ multiple cameras have continued to evolve significantly,enabling remote collaboration among users in extended Reality(XR)environments.In addition,methods for deploying multiple cameras for motion capture of users(e.g.,performers)are widely used in computer graphics.As the need to minimize and optimize the number of cameras grows to reduce costs,various technologies and research approaches focused on Optimal Camera Placement(OCP)are continually being proposed.However,as most existing studies assume homogeneous camera setups,there is a growing demand for studies on heterogeneous camera setups.For instance,technical demands keep emerging in scenarios with minimal camera configurations,especially regarding cost factors,the physical placement of cameras given the spatial structure,and image capture strategies for heterogeneous cameras,such as high-resolution RGB cameras and depth cameras.In this study,we propose a pre-visualization and simulation method for the optimal placement of heterogeneous cameras in XR environments,accounting for both the specifications of heterogeneous cameras(e.g.,field of view)and the physical configuration(e.g.,wall configuration)in real-world spaces.The proposed method performs a visibility analysis of cameras by considering each camera’s field-of-view volume,resolution,and unique characteristics,along with physicalspace constraints.This approach enables the optimal position and rotation of each camera to be recommended,along with the minimum number of cameras required.In the results of our study conducted in heterogeneous camera combinations,the proposed method achieved 81.7%~82.7%coverage of the target visual information using only 2~3 cameras.In contrast,single(or homogeneous)-typed cameras were required to use 11 cameras for 81.6%coverage.Accordingly,we found that camera deployment resources can be reduced with the proposed approaches.

文摘The bipartite containment control problem for heterogeneous nonlinear multi-agent systems(HNMASs)within multi-group networks under signed digraphs is investigated,where the first-order and second-order nonlinear dynamic agents belong to distinct groups.Interactions are cooperative-antagonistic within each group and sign-in-degree balanced across the inter-groups.Firstly,a state feedback control protocol is designed to ensure that the trajectories of followers in diverse groups can converge to distinct convex hulls formed by their corresponding leaders,respectively.As an extension,the bipartite control problem with time-variant formation for the multi-agent system(MAS)is also considered,and a corresponding control protocol with formation compensation vectors is given.Finally,in view of Lyapunov stability theory and matrix inequality,the sufficient conditions for realizing the bipartite containment control are obtained,and several simulations are provided to verify the validity of the above methods.

文摘Fault-tolerant systems are crucial for ensuring the reliability and availability of missioncritical applications in modern computing environments.The dynamic heterogeneous redundancy(DHR)architecture is a key component in constructing fault-tolerant systems,particularly in areas such as national security,power networks,and banking private networks.DHR is transforming the cyberspace security industry chain by accommodating a broader range of applications and increasingly capturing the market.However,the development of applications for DHR architecture encounters challenges due to the complexities of handling heterogeneity,managing dynamism,and maintaining usability.To address these issues,we introduce MimicStudio,a comprehensive development framework with a standardized workflow.To our knowledge,MimicStudio is the first effective solution for DHR software development.We present a detailed implementation of MimicStudio with a heterogeneous microcontroller unit project,encompassing three CPUs with different instruction set architectures.The paper evaluates MimicStudio’s support for essential features,including zero-copy synchronization,parallelized build,multi-core collaborative debugging,and dynamic adjustment of the software system’s structure.Our results show that MimicStudio provides a flexible and efficient solution for supporting the dynamic,heterogeneous,and redundant features of fault-tolerant systems.
