文摘The three-dimensional(3D)geometry of a fault is a critical control on earthquake nucleation,dynamic rupture,stress triggering,and related seismic hazards.Therefore,a 3D model of an active fault can significantly improve our understanding of seismogenesis and our ability to evaluate seismic hazards.Utilising the SKUA GoCAD software,we constructed detailed seismic fault models for the 2021 M_(S)6.4 Yangbi earthquake in Yunnan,China,using two sets of relocated earthquake catalogs and focal mechanism solutions following a convenient 3D fault modeling workflow.Our analysis revealed a NW-striking main fault with a high-angle SW dip,accompanied by two branch faults.Interpretation of one dataset revealed a single NNW-striking branch fault SW of the main fault,whereas the other dataset indicated four steep NNE-striking segments with a left-echelon pattern.Additionally,a third ENE-striking short fault was identified NE of the main fault.In combination with the spatial distribution of pre-existing faults,our 3D fault models indicate that the Yangbi earthquake reactivated pre-existing NW-and NE-striking fault directions rather than the surface-exposed Weixi-Qiaohou-Weishan Fault zone.The occurrence of the Yangbi earthquake demonstrates that the reactivation of pre-existing faults away from active fault zones,through either cascade or conjugate rupture modes,can cause unexpected moderate-large earthquakes and severe disasters,necessitating attention in regions like southeast Xizang,which have complex fault systems.

文摘Deep learning(DL)has become a crucial technique for predicting the El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)and evaluating its predictability.While various DL-based models have been developed for ENSO predictions,many fail to capture the coherent multivariate evolution within the coupled ocean-atmosphere system of the tropical Pacific.To address this three-dimensional(3D)limitation and represent ENSO-related ocean-atmosphere interactions more accurately,a novel this 3D multivariate prediction model was proposed based on a Transformer architecture,which incorporates a spatiotemporal self-attention mechanism.This model,named 3D-Geoformer,offers several advantages,enabling accurate ENSO predictions up to one and a half years in advance.Furthermore,an integrated gradient method was introduced into the model to identify the sources of predictability for sea surface temperature(SST)variability in the eastern equatorial Pacific.Results reveal that the 3D-Geoformer effectively captures ENSO-related precursors during the evolution of ENSO events,particularly the thermocline feedback processes and ocean temperature anomaly pathways on and off the equator.By extending DL-based ENSO predictions from one-dimensional Niño time series to 3D multivariate fields,the 3D-Geoformer represents a significant advancement in ENSO prediction.This study provides details in the model formulation,analysis procedures,sensitivity experiments,and illustrative examples,offering practical guidance for the application of the model in ENSO research.

文摘The spatial distribution of discontinuities and the size of rock blocks are the key indicators for rock mass quality evaluation and rockfall risk assessment.Traditional manual measurement is often dangerous or unreachable at some high-steep rock slopes.In contrast,unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)photogrammetry is not limited by terrain conditions,and can efficiently collect high-precision three-dimensional(3D)point clouds of rock masses through all-round and multiangle photography for rock mass characterization.In this paper,a new method based on a 3D point cloud is proposed for discontinuity identification and refined rock block modeling.The method is based on four steps:(1)Establish a point cloud spatial topology,and calculate the point cloud normal vector and average point spacing based on several machine learning algorithms;(2)Extract discontinuities using the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise(DBSCAN)algorithm and fit the discontinuity plane by combining principal component analysis(PCA)with the natural breaks(NB)method;(3)Propose a method of inserting points in the line segment to generate an embedded discontinuity point cloud;and(4)Adopt a Poisson reconstruction method for refined rock block modeling.The proposed method was applied to an outcrop of an ultrahigh steep rock slope and compared with the results of previous studies and manual surveys.The results show that the method can eliminate the influence of discontinuity undulations on the orientation measurement and describe the local concave-convex characteristics on the modeling of rock blocks.The calculation results are accurate and reliable,which can meet the practical requirements of engineering.

文摘The Infrared Hyperspectral Atmospheric SounderⅡ(HIRAS-Ⅱ)is the key equipment on FengYun-3E(FY-3E)satellite,which can realize vertical atmospheric detection,featuring hyper spectral,high sensitivity and high precision.To ensure its accuracy of detection,it is necessary to correlate their thermal models to in-orbit da⁃ta.In this work,an investigation of intelligent correlation method named Intelligent Correlation Platform for Ther⁃mal Model(ICP-TM)was established,the advanced Kriging surrogate model and efficient adaptive region opti⁃mization algorithm were introduced.After the correlation with this method for FY-3E/HIRAS-Ⅱ,the results indi⁃cate that compared with the data in orbit,the error of the thermal model has decreased from 5 K to within±1 K in cold case(10℃).Then,the correlated model is validated in hot case(20℃),and the correlated model exhibits good universality.This correlation precision is also much superiors to the general ones like 3 K in other similar lit⁃erature.Furthermore,the process is finished in 8 days using ICP-TM,the efficiency is much better than 3 months based on manual.The results show that the proposed approach significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of thermal model,this contributes to the precise thermal control of subsequent infrared optical payloads.
文摘This research pioneers the integration of geographic information systems(GIS)and 3D modeling within a virtual reality(VR)framework to assess the viability and planning of a 20 MW hybrid wind-solarphotovoltaic(PV)system connected to the local grid.The study focuses on Dakhla,Morocco,a region with vast untapped renewable energy potential.By leveraging GIS,we are innovatively analyzing geographical and environmental factors that influence optimal site selection and system design.The incorporation of VR technologies offers an unprecedented level of realism and immersion,allowing stakeholders to virtually experience the project's impact and design in a dynamic,interactive environment.This novel methodology includes extensive data collection,advanced modeling,and simulations,ensuring that the hybrid system is precisely tailored to the unique climatic and environmental conditions of Dakhla.Our analysis reveals that the region possesses a photovoltaic solar potential of approximately2400 k Wh/m^(2) per year,with an average annual wind power density of about 434 W/m^(2) at an 80-meter hub height.Productivity simulations indicate that the 20 MW hybrid system could generate approximately 60 GWh of energy per year and 1369 GWh over its 25-year lifespan.To validate these findings,we employed the System Advisor Model(SAM)software and the Global Solar Photovoltaic Atlas platform.This comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach not only provides a robust assessment of the system's feasibility but also offers valuable insights into its potential socio-economic and environmental impact.

文摘Given the severe toxicity and widespread presence of cadmium(Cd)in staple foods such as rice,accurate dietary exposure assessments are imperative for public health.In vitro bioavailability is commonly used to adjust dietary exposure levels of risk factors;however,traditional planar Transwell models have limitations,such as cell dedifferentiation and lack of key intestinal components,necessitating a more physiologically relevant in vitro platform.This study introduces an innovative three-dimensional(3D)intestinal organoid model using a microfluidic chip to evaluate Cd bioavailability in food.Caco-2 cells were cultured on the chip to mimic small intestinal villi's 3D structure,mucus production,and absorption functions.The model's physiological relevance was thoroughly characterized,demonstrating the formation of a confluent epithelial monolayer with well-developed tight junctions(ZO-1),high microvilli density(F-actin),and significant mucus secretion(Alcian blue staining),closely resembling the physiological intestinal epithelium.Fluorescent particle tracking confirmed its ability to simulate intestinal transport and diffusion.The Cd bioavailability in rice measured by the 3D intestinal organoid model((9.07±0.21)%)was comparable to the mouse model((12.82±3.42)%)but significantly lower than the Caco-2 monolayer model((26.97±1.11)%).This 3D intestinal organoid model provides a novel and reliable strategy for in vitro assessment of heavy metal bioavailability in food,with important implications for food safety and risk assessment.

文摘Highway planning requires geological surveys and stability analysis of the surrounding area.In the early stage of the survey,the modeling and stability analysis of the survey area can be carried out by using GIS software to intuitively understand the topography of the study area.The use of DEM to extract terrain factors can be used for simple stability analysis and the source data is easy to obtain,simple to operate,fast to analyze,and reliable analysis results.In this paper,taking the X104 road section in Ganxian County as an example,the ArcGIS platform is used to carry out 3D modeling visualization and stability analysis,and the stability evaluation map of the study area is obtained.
文摘With the widespread application of 3D visualization in digital exhibition halls and virtual reality,achieving efficient rendering and high-fidelity presentation has become a key challenge.This study proposes a hybrid point cloud generation method that combines traditional sampling with 3D Gaussian splatting,aiming to address the issues of rendering delay and missing details in existing 3D displays.By improving the OBJ model parsing process and incorporating an adaptive area-weighted sampling algorithm,we achieve adaptive point cloud generation based on triangle density.Innovatively,we advance the ellipsoidal parameter estimation process of 3D Gaussian splatting to the point cloud generation stage.By establishing a mathematical relationship between the covariance matrix and local curvature,the generated point cloud naturally exhibits Gaussian distribution characteristics.Experimental results show that,compared to traditional methods,our approach reduces point cloud data by 38% while maintaining equivalent visual quality at a 4096×4096 texture resolution.By introducing mipmap texture optimization strategies and a GPU-accelerated rasterization pipeline,stable rendering at 60 frames per second is achieved in a WebGL environment.Additionally,we quantize and compress the spherical harmonic function parameters specific to 3D Gaussian splatting,reducing network transmission bandwidth to 52% of the original data.This study provides a new technical pathway for fields requiring high-precision display,such as the digitization of cultural heritage.

文摘Integrated Sensing and Communication(ISAC)is considered a key technology in 6G networks.An accurate sensing channel model is crucial for the design and sensing performance evaluation of ISAC systems.The widely used Geometry-Based Stochastic Model(GBSM),typically applied in standardized channel modeling,mainly focuses on the statistical fading characteristics of the channel.However,it fails to capture the characteristics of targets in ISAC systems,such as their positions and velocities,as well as the impact of the targets on the background.To address this issue,this paper proposes an Extended-GBSM(E-GBSM)sensing channel model that incorporates newly discovered channel characteristics into a unified modeling framework.In this framework,the sensing channel is divided into target and background channels.For the target channel,the model introduces a concatenated modeling approach,while for the background channel,a parameter called the power control factor is introduced to assess impact of the target on the background channel,making the modeling framework applicable to both mono-static and bi-static sensing modes.To validate the proposed model’s effectiveness,measurements of target and background channels are conducted across a wide range of indoor and outdoor scenarios,covering various sensing targets such as metal plates,reconfigurable intelligent surfaces,human bodies,unmanned aerial vehicles,and vehicles.The experimental results provide important theoretical support and empirical data for the standardization of ISAC channel modeling.

文摘Accurate retrieval of casting 3D models is crucial for process reuse.Current methods primarily focus on shape similarity,neglecting process design features,which compromises reusability.In this study,a novel deep learning retrieval method for process reuse was proposed,which integrates process design features into the retrieval of casting 3D models.This method leverages the comparative language-image pretraining(CLIP)model to extract shape features from the three views and sectional views of the casting model and combines them with process design features such as modulus,main wall thickness,symmetry,and length-to-height ratio to enhance process reusability.A database of 230 production casting models was established for model validation.Results indicate that incorporating process design features improves model accuracy by 6.09%,reaching 97.82%,and increases process similarity by 30.25%.The reusability of the process was further verified using the casting simulation software EasyCast.The results show that the process retrieved after integrating process design features produces the least shrinkage in the target model,demonstrating this method’s superior ability for process reuse.This approach does not require a large dataset for training and optimization,making it highly applicable to casting process design and related manufacturing processes.
