The cultivation of rural “Local Specialty Products”(“LSPs”) under a green-development framework aligns with the functional positioning of these areas, drives the revitalization of rural industries, and constitutes a fundamental strategy for addressing the unique challenges they face. Although ECAs possess inherent advantages in terms of developing LSPs, they are also confronted by multiple constraints. Accordingly, we propose development objectives that emphasize(a) driving rural industrial prosperity,(b) enhancing the appeal of agricultural heritage, and(c) ensuring inclusive prosperity in the farming communities. In selecting pathways for growth, priority should be given to improving the quality of products, fostering distinctiveness of the technologies, nurturing cultural identities, and upholding the principle of common prosperity. From a policy standpoint, the development of rural LSPs should be recognized as a key lever for advancing the comprehensiveness of rural revitalization in the ECAs. We recommend a set of supportive measures—namely, reinforcing the guidance for spatial planning, integrating the consolidation of factor inputs, and ensuring the robustness of organizational guarantees—to facilitate the high-quality development of LSPs in these areas.展开更多

Although the issuance of urban investment bonds has eased the financing difficulties of local governments to a certain extent, the credit risk of urban investment bonds has gradually emerged due to the rapid increase in the number of urban investment companies and the expansion of the debt scale. In the borrowing process, not only the local government has expanded the land finance, but also the financial transparency has decreased, which will affect the regional economic development level, the urbanization process and the financial and credit status of the city investment companies themselves. Therefore, first of all, the local government should promote the improvement of the tax system, reduce the government's reliance on land finance, actively enhance the government's financial transparency, reduce the information asymmetry between bond issuers and market investors, and reduce the debt risk. Secondly, for the sake of stable growth of local economy, over-investment and development of cities should be avoided. Finally, standardize enterprises to increase credit guarantee, avoid false credit guarantee, and improve the system of public disclosure of corporate financial risk information and the role of third-party market capital in strictly guarding the market, providing a more reliable capital guarantee for the issuance and operation of China's bond market.展开更多

文摘A multi-stage stress relaxation test was performed on a granodiorite sample to understand the deformation process prior to the macroscopic failure of brittle rocks,as well as the transient response during stress relaxation.Distributed optical fiber sensing was used to measure strains across the sample surface by helically wrapping the single-mode fiber around the cylindrical sample.Close agreement was observed between the circumferential strains obtained from the optical fibers and the extensometer.The reconstructed full-field strain contours show strain heterogeneity from the crack closure phase,and the strains in the later deformation phase are dominantly localized within the former high-strain zone.The Gini coefficient was used to quantify the degree of strain localization and shows an initial increase during the crack closure phase,a decrease during the linear elastic phase,and a subsequent increase during the post-yielding phase.This behavior corresponds to a process of initial localization from an imperfect boundary condition,homogenization,and eventual relocalization prior to the macroscopic failure of the sample.The transient strain rate decay during the stress relaxation phase was quantified using the p-value in the“Omori-like"power law function.A higher initial stress at the onset of relaxation results in a lower p-value,indicating a slower strain rate decay.As the sample approaches macroscopic failure,the lowest p-value shifts from the most damaged zone to adjacent areas,suggesting stress redistribution or crack propagation in deformed crystalline rocks under stress relaxation conditions.

文摘Nonlocal set of orthogonal product states(OPSs)can improve the confidentiality of information when it is used to design quantum cryptographic protocols.It is a difficult question how to construct a nonlocal set of OPSs on general multipartite and high dimensional quantum systems.Different from the previous works,we first present a novel method for constructing a nonlocal product set with 3d-2 members on C^(d)■C^(d)■C^(d)quantum system for d≥3.Then,we extend this construction method to C^(d_(1))■C^(d_(2))■C^(d_(3))quantum system and■_(i=1)^(n)C^(di)quantum system respectively,where 3≤d_(1)≤d_(2)≤d_(3)≤…≤dC_(d_(i))and n≥3.The nonlocal set of OPSs constructed by our method contains fewer elements than those constructed by the existing methods,except for one special case.More importantly,the set of states constructed by our method has a completely different structure from those constructed by the existing methods since our nonlocal set does not contain a“stopper”state.Our result is helpful to further understand the different structures of nonlocal sets on multipartite systems.

文摘Existing Transformer-based image captioning models typically rely on the self-attention mechanism to capture long-range dependencies,which effectively extracts and leverages the global correlation of image features.However,these models still face challenges in effectively capturing local associations.Moreover,since the encoder extracts global and local association features that focus on different semantic information,semantic noise may occur during the decoding stage.To address these issues,we propose the Local Relationship Enhanced Gated Transformer(LREGT).In the encoder part,we introduce the Local Relationship Enhanced Encoder(LREE),whose core component is the Local Relationship Enhanced Module(LREM).LREM consists of two novel designs:the Local Correlation Perception Module(LCPM)and the Local-Global Fusion Module(LGFM),which are beneficial for generating a comprehensive feature representation that integrates both global and local information.In the decoder part,we propose the Dual-level Multi-branch Gated Decoder(DMGD).It first creates multiple decoding branches to generate multi-perspective contextual feature representations.Subsequently,it employs the Dual-Level Gating Mechanism(DLGM)to model the multi-level relationships of these multi-perspective contextual features,enhancing their fine-grained semantics and intrinsic relationship representations.This ultimately leads to the generation of high-quality and semantically rich image captions.Experiments on the standard MSCOCO dataset demonstrate that LREGT achieves state-of-the-art performance,with a CIDEr score of 140.8 and BLEU-4 score of 41.3,significantly outperforming existing mainstream methods.These results highlight LREGT’s superiority in capturing complex visual relationships and resolving semantic noise during decoding.

文摘To improve the accuracy of indoor localization methods with channel state information(CSI)images,a localization method that used CSI images from selected multiple access points(APs)was proposed.The method had an off-line phase and an on-line phase.In the off-line phase,three APs were selected from the four APs in the localization area based on the received signal strength indication(RSSI).Next,CSI data was collected from the three selected APs using a commercial Intel 5300 network interface card.A single-channel subimage was constructed for each selected AP by combining the amplitude information from different antennas and the phase difference information between neighboring antennas.These sub-images were then merged to form a three-channel RGB image,which was subsequently fed into the convolutional neural network(CNN)for training.The CNN model was saved upon completion of training.In the on-line phase,the CSI data from the target device was collected,converted into images using the same process as in the off-line phase,and fed into the well-trained CNN model.Finally,the real position of the target device was estimated using a weighted centroid algorithm based on the model’s output probabilities.The proposed method was validated in indoor environments using two datasets,achieving good localization accuracy.
文摘Objective:To analyze the efficacy of whole-course local simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy(SIB-IMRT)on patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Methods:88 patients with ESCC admitted to the hospital between October 2022 and October 2024 were selected and randomly divided into two groups using a random number table.The experimental group received SIB-IMRT treatment,while the control group received conventional intensity-modulated radiotherapy(C-IMRT).The objective remission rate,immune function,tumor markers,and adverse reaction rate were compared between the two groups.Results:The objective remission rate in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Before treatment,there was no difference in immune function levels and tumor marker levels between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the immune function levels in the experimental group were better than those in the control group,and the tumor marker levels were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The adverse reaction rate in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:SIB-IMRT can improve the objective remission rate of patients with ESCC,protect their immune function,down-regulate tumor marker levels,and prevent side effects after treatment.
文摘Polytrauma with significant bone and volumetric muscle loss presents substantial clinical challenges.Although immune responses significantly influence fracture healing post-polytrauma,the cellular and molecular underpinnings of polytrauma-induced immune dysregulation require further investigation.While previous studies examined either injury site tissue or systemic tissue(peripheral blood),our study uniquely investigated both systemic and local immune cells at the same time to better understand polytrauma-induced immune dysregulation and associated impaired bone healing.Using single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)in a rat polytrauma model,we analyzed blood,bone marrow,and the local defect soft tissue to identify potential cellular and molecular targets involved in immune dysregulation.We identified a trauma-associated immunosuppressive myeloid(TIM)cell population that drives systemic immune dysregulation,immunosuppression,and potentially impaired bone healing.We found CD1d as a global marker for TIM cells in polytrauma.
文摘In recent years,local government debt reduction and risk prevention have been the subjects of common concern to all parties.China's local government debt has different reasons in different historical periods,and the main line running through this is the development orientation of local governments.It is undeniable that local government debt has played an indelible role in China's rapid economic growth.However,due to historical restrictions,flood irrigation inevitably brought sediment all over the ground.Therefore,this paper intends to rethink the causes of local government debt from the perspective of the dual role of regional government and the main body of meso economics.

文摘Electron-electron interactions(EEIs),quantum interference,and the effects of disorder on transport properties are essential topics in condensed matter physics.A series of our characterization work demonstrates that the morphology of Bi_(2)Te_(3)/MnTe bilayer film mainly depends on the magnetic substrate's growth mode and thickness.We propose that the temperature-dependent quantum interference of the electron wave function caused by disorder drives the transition from weak antilocalization(WAL) to weak localization(WL).Due to spin regulation,WL under low fields originates from the ferromagnetism in MnTe.The quantum interference effect(QIE) model analysis gives the degree of impurity scattering of the electron wave function.The electron wave is scattered by impurities,which causes the Berry phase to change from π to 0,producing a complete WL behavior.The stacked structure provides tunable degrees of freedom,allowing for independent optimization of topological properties and magnetic order through preferential growth orientation of topological insulator(TI) and magnetic layers,respectively.
文摘Urban investment bonds are another financing method designed by local governments in China to avoid the legal restrictions of urban economic construction, especially urban infrastructure construction under specific economic environment. Although the issuance of urban investment bonds has eased the financing difficulties of local governments to a certain extent, the credit risk of urban investment bonds has gradually emerged due to the rapid increase in the number of urban investment companies and the expansion of the debt scale. In the borrowing process, not only the local government has expanded the land finance, but also the financial transparency has decreased, which will affect the regional economic development level, the urbanization process and the financial and credit status of the city investment companies themselves. Therefore, first of all, the local government should promote the improvement of the tax system, reduce the government's reliance on land finance, actively enhance the government's financial transparency, reduce the information asymmetry between bond issuers and market investors, and reduce the debt risk. Secondly, for the sake of stable growth of local economy, over-investment and development of cities should be avoided. Finally, standardize enterprises to increase credit guarantee, avoid false credit guarantee, and improve the system of public disclosure of corporate financial risk information and the role of third-party market capital in strictly guarding the market, providing a more reliable capital guarantee for the issuance and operation of China's bond market.

文摘Laser-welded Ti-6Al-4 V is prone to severe residual stresses,microstructural variation,and structural de-fects which are known detrimental to the mechanical properties of weld joints.Residual stress removal is typically applied to weld joints for engineering purposes via heat treatment,in order to avoid prema-ture failure and performance degradation.In the present work,we found that proper welding residual stresses in laser-welded Ti-6Al-4 V sheets can maintain better ductility during uniaxial tension,as op-posed to the stress-relieved counterparts.A detailed experimental investigation has been performed on the deformation behaviours of Ti-6Al-4 V butt welds,including residual stress distribution characteriza-tions by focused ion beam ring-coring coupled with digital image correlation(FIB-DIC),X-ray comput-erized tomography(CT)for internal voids,and in-situ DIC analysis of the subregional strain evolutions.It was found that the pores preferentially distributed near the fusion zone(FZ)boundary,where the compressive residual stress was up to-330 MPa.The removal of residual stress resulted in a changed failure initiation site from the base material to the FZ boundary,the former with ductile and the latter with brittle fracture characteristics under tensile deformation.The combined effects of residual stresses,microstructures,and internal pores on the mechanical responses are discussed in detail.This work high-lights the importance of inevitable residual stress and pores in laser weld pieces,leading to key insights for post-welding treatment and service performance evaluations.
