文摘When tracking a unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)in complex backgrounds,environmen-tal noise and clutter often obscure it.Traditional radar target tracking algorithms face multiple lim-itations when tracking a UAV,including high vulnerability to target occlusion and shape variations,as well as pronounced false alarms and missed detections in low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)envi-ronments.To address these issues,this paper proposes a UAV detection and tracking algorithm based on a low-frequency communication network.The accuracy and effectiveness of the algorithm are validated through simulation experiments using field-measured point cloud data.Additionally,the key parameters of the algorithm are optimized through a process of selection and comparison,thereby improving the algorithm's precision.The experimental results show that the improved algo-rithm can significantly enhance the detection and tracking performance of the UAV under high clutter density conditions,effectively reduce the false alarm rate and markedly improve overall tracking performance metrics.
文摘In the present paper,we obtain the converse results of approximation of a newly introduced genuine Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators in movable interval.We also get the moments properties of an auxiliary operator which has its own independent values.The moments of the auxiliary operators play important roles in establishing the main result(Theorem 4).

文摘The reuse of green sand in casting production is hindered by the accumulation of oolitic deposits,primarily composed of clay binder with surface degradation,which may adversely affect the the moulding sand performance.Currently,there is a lack of standardized methods for quantifying the oolitic content.Accurate measurement of oolitic content is of great significance to the reuse of green sand.Attempts to determine oolitic content using potassium hydroxide(KOH)and phosphoric acid(H_(3)PO_(4))methods encounter challenges due to their excessive reactions with SiO_(2) in the sand.In this study,an improved method for measuring the oolitic content of green sand with repeated approximations was proposed.This method judges the chemical activity of the sample surface through the change of its mass to accurately obtain the mass of the reaction oolitic deposits.The test result of the used sand samples from the foundry shows that the oolitic deposits are completely removed after reacting with KOH solution three times at 300℃ for 20 min.SEM and EDS also show that after three times of reactions,the surface of green sand becomes smooth and the content of Al-containing oolitic deposits is very low.This indicates that the method can accurately control the extent of the reaction.Implementation of this method at Huangshi Dongbei Casting Co.,Ltd.has yielded consistent and reliable test results,effectively mirroring variations in green sand oolitic content on the production line.This new method is expected to be widely adopted to improve the efficiency and quality of reused green sand in casting operations.

文摘Virtual coupling is a novel technology that enables trains to run closely together without physical connections through communication and automation systems.The paper addresses an adaptive polynomial approximation algorithm for the cooperative control of high-speed trains(HSTs)under virtual coupling.It aims to solve the cooperative tracking control problem of HST formation operations under various scenarios,including known and unknown parameters.To enable the HST formation system to achieve cooperative operation while ensuring an appropriate spacing distance,the tracking errors of displacement and speed throughout the entire operation converge to zero.The proposed control strategy focuses on adopting polynomial approximation to handle unknown parameters,which are estimated via adaptive laws.Additionally,the unknown parameters of the HSTs are estimated online through adaptive laws.Experimental results verify the effectiveness of this method.
文摘Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of applying the Meridian Flow Low-Frequency Therapy Device combined with Chinese herbal enema for patients with acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease(PID).Methods:Sixty-two patients with acute and chronic PID admitted from January 2024 to October 2025 were selected and randomly divided into a standard group(n=31)and an experimental group(n=31).The standard group received conventional medication+Chinese herbal enema treatment.The experimental group received the Meridian Flow Low-Frequency Therapy Device in addition to the standard group’s treatment.The clinical efficacy,changes in inflammatory markers,and pelvic improvement were compared between the two groups.Results:The excellent-good rate of treatment in the experimental group was higher than that in the standard group(p<0.05).The levels of various inflammatory factors in the experimental group were lower than those in the standard group(all p<0.05).The improvement in pelvic mass diameter and pelvic effusion depth in the experimental group was superior to that in the standard group(both p<0.05).Conclusion:The Meridian Flow Low-Frequency Therapy Device combined with Chinese herbal enema has a definite curative effect in treating pelvic inflammatory disease.It can effectively alleviate clinical symptoms,reduce inflammatory response,and promote the improvement of the pelvic environment.

文摘Determining the minimal distance between the target state and the convex combination of given states is a fundamental problem in quantum resource theory,offering critical guidance for experimental implementations.In this paper,we embark on an in-depth exploration of the use of a quantum state prepared by the convex combination of given qubit states to optimally approximate the l_(1)-norm of coherence of the target quantum state,striving to make the prepared state and the target state as similar as possible.Here,we present the analytical solution for the optimal distance for any N given quantum states.We find that the optimal approximation problem for any N>4 quantum states can be transformed into an optimal approximation problem for no more than four quantum states,which not only significantly streamlines the problem but also proves advantageous for laboratories in terms of material conservation.Ultimately,a one-to-one comparison between the analytical and numerical solutions verifies the effectiveness of our approach.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter focuses on the remaining useful life(RUL)prediction task under limited labeled samples.Existing machine-learning-based RUL prediction methods for this task usually pay attention to mining degradation information to improve the prediction accuracy of degradation value or health indicator for the next epoch.However,they ignore the cumulative prediction error caused by iterations before reaching the failure point.

文摘We present a robust quantum optimal control framework for implementing fast entangling gates on ion-trap quantum processors.The framework leverages tailored laser pulses to drive the multiple vibrational sidebands of the ions to create phonon-mediated entangling gates and,unlike the state of the art,requires neither weakcoupling Lamb-Dicke approximation nor perturbation treatment.With the application of gradient-based optimal control,it enables finding amplitude-and phase-modulated laser control protocols that work without the Lamb-Dicke approximation,promising gate speeds on the order of microseconds comparable to the characteristic trap frequencies.Also,robustness requirements on the temperature of the ions and initial optical phase can be conveniently included to pursue high-quality fast gates against experimental imperfections.Our approach represents a step in speeding up quantum gates to achieve larger quantum circuits for quantum computation and simulation,and thus can find applications in near-future experiments.
