However, the effectiveness of BMPs exhibits a complex nonlinear dependence on both configuration unit scale and rainfall intensity, often leading to widespread spatiotemporal mismatches during implementation. To fill this gap, this study proposes a new framework:(a) delineating configuration units based on the implementation scale differences between structural and nonstructural BMPs;(b) incorporating BMP reduction thresholds to enable dynamic adjustment of design scales according to inflow loads;and(c) developing a staged allocation strategy tailored to varying rainfall scenarios. The framework is exemplified by an agricultural catchment in the southeastern Liaohe watershed, China. The results showed that the framework could improve the assessment accuracy and cost-effectiveness of pollution control. Specifically, neglecting BMP reduction thresholds resulted in a 51.35% underestimation of treatment costs. Incorporating these thresholds and dynamically adjusting BMP design scales reduced treatment costs by 62.70%. Furthermore, the framework facilitated more precise localization of structural BMPs(1 km^(2)) and improved optimization efficiency by 95.91%. The proposed staged allocation strategy ensured water quality compliance under varying rainfall intensities. Structural BMPs primarily addressed pollution from light to moderate rainfall in the initial stage, while nonstructural BMPs targeted heavy rainfall pollution in the subsequent stage. The proposed framework may enhance the spatiotemporal adaptability of BMP configuration to respond to the threats posed by climate change and human activities. It can also be extended to other agriculture-dominated watersheds.展开更多

By the theoretical a...To improve the performance of the ontology matching process, a more efficient ontology matching algorithm, which can effectively eliminate unnecessary operations of matching entities, is proposed. By the theoretical analysis and proof, a set of matching rules are summarized for depicting inherent relations among matching results of entities. Based on these rules, the proposed algorithm can reuse the matching results of two entities to directly determine the matching results of their adjacent entities. Thereby, redundant operations of matching adjacent entities can be avoided, which can improve the performance of the whole matching process. The experimental results show that, compared with related algorithms, the proposed algorithm has high matching accuracy and can remarkably reduce the consuming time of the whole matching process. So, the proposed algorithm is more competent for the large-scale ontology matching which often occurs in the practical heterogeneous web resources integration project.展开更多

Firstly, four levels of image pyramids are generated according to the rule that the next pyramid level is generated from the previous level using the average gray values of the 3 by 3 pixels, and the first level of pyramid image is generated from the original image. The initial horizontal parallaxes between the reference image and each searching image are calculated at the highest level of the image pyramid. Secondly, corresponding image points are searched in each stereo image pair from the third level of image pyramid, and the matching results in all stereo pairs are integrated in the object space, by which the mismatched image points can be eliminated and more accurate spatial information can be obtained for the subsequent pyramid image matching. The matching method based on correlation coefficient with geometric constraints and global relaxation matching is introduced in the process of image matching. Finally, the feasibility of the method proposed in this paper is verified by the experiments using a set of digital frame aerial images with big overlap. Compared with the traditional image matching method with two images, the accuracy of the digital surface model (DSM) generated using the proposed method shows that the multiimage matching method can eliminate the mismatched points effectively and can improve the matching success rate significantly.展开更多

Let G be a simple graph of order n and λ1, λ2, . . . , λn be the zeros of its matching polynomial. The matching energy of a graph G is defined as ME(G) = Pni=1 |λi|. By the famous Coulson’s formula, matching energies can also be calculated by an improper integral depending on a parameter. A k-claw attaching graph Gu(k) refers to the graph obtained by attaching k pendent edges to the graph G at the vertex u, where u is called the root of Gu(k). In this paper, we use some theories of mathematical analysis to obtain a new technique to compare the matching energies of two k-claw attaching graphs Gu(k) and Hv(k) with the same order, that is, limk→∞[ME(Gu(k)) − ME(Hv(k))] = ME(G − u) − ME(H − v). By the technique, we finally determine unicyclic graphs of order n with the 9th to 13th minimal matching energies for all n ≥ 58.展开更多

文摘High-resolution sub-meter satellite data play an increasingly crucial role in the 3D real-scene China construction initiative.Current research on 3D reconstruction using high-resolution satellite data primarily focuses on two approaches:Multi-stereo fusion and multi-view matching.While algorithms based on these two methodologies for multi-view image 3D reconstruction have reached relative maturity,no systematic comparison has been conducted specifically on satellite data to evaluate the relative merits of multi-stereo fusion versus multi-view matching methods.This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the practical accuracy of both approaches using high-resolution satellite datasets from diverse geographical regions.To ensure fairness in accuracy comparison,both methodologies employ non-local dense matching for cost optimization.Results demonstrate that the multi-stereo fusion method outperforms multi-view matching in all evaluation metrics,exhibiting approximately 1.2%higher average matching accuracy and 10.7%superior elevation precision in the experimental datasets.Therefore,for 3D modeling applications using satellite data,we recommend adopting the multi-stereo fusion approach for digital surface model(DSM)product generation.

文摘To improve the performance of the ontology matching process, a more efficient ontology matching algorithm, which can effectively eliminate unnecessary operations of matching entities, is proposed. By the theoretical analysis and proof, a set of matching rules are summarized for depicting inherent relations among matching results of entities. Based on these rules, the proposed algorithm can reuse the matching results of two entities to directly determine the matching results of their adjacent entities. Thereby, redundant operations of matching adjacent entities can be avoided, which can improve the performance of the whole matching process. The experimental results show that, compared with related algorithms, the proposed algorithm has high matching accuracy and can remarkably reduce the consuming time of the whole matching process. So, the proposed algorithm is more competent for the large-scale ontology matching which often occurs in the practical heterogeneous web resources integration project.

文摘A novel method for multi-image matching by synthesizing image and object-space information is proposed. Firstly, four levels of image pyramids are generated according to the rule that the next pyramid level is generated from the previous level using the average gray values of the 3 by 3 pixels, and the first level of pyramid image is generated from the original image. The initial horizontal parallaxes between the reference image and each searching image are calculated at the highest level of the image pyramid. Secondly, corresponding image points are searched in each stereo image pair from the third level of image pyramid, and the matching results in all stereo pairs are integrated in the object space, by which the mismatched image points can be eliminated and more accurate spatial information can be obtained for the subsequent pyramid image matching. The matching method based on correlation coefficient with geometric constraints and global relaxation matching is introduced in the process of image matching. Finally, the feasibility of the method proposed in this paper is verified by the experiments using a set of digital frame aerial images with big overlap. Compared with the traditional image matching method with two images, the accuracy of the digital surface model (DSM) generated using the proposed method shows that the multiimage matching method can eliminate the mismatched points effectively and can improve the matching success rate significantly.

文摘The effects of micro-ridge-furrow planting(MR)on yield and the efficiency of light,water,and thermal resource use in rapeseed were tested in a three-year field experiment comparing MR to conventional flat planting.MR enhanced canopy heterogeneity by altering the leaf angle between plants on ridges and furrows.The heterogeneous canopy environment increased intercepted photosynthetic active radiation,alleviated canopy temperature stress,and optimized canopy humidity,leading to improvements in light-nitrogen matching and net photosynthetic rate.Consequently,dry matter and yield increased by 13.0%and 11.0%,respectively,while radiation,thermal,and precipitation utilization efficiency increased by 12.3%-16.2%.The corresponding improvements in yield and resource use efficiency were attributed to a heterogeneous canopy environment that improved microclimatic conditions.

文摘Ground source heat pump systems demonstrate significant potential for northern rural heating applications;however,the effectiveness of these systems is often limited by challenging geological conditions.For instance,in certain regions,the installation of buried pipes for heat exchangers may be complicated,and these pipes may not always serve as efficient low-temperature heat sources for the heat pumps of the system.To address this issue,the current study explored the use of solar-energy-collecting equipment to supplement buried pipes.In this design,both solar energy and geothermal energy provide low-temperature heat to the heat pump.First,a simulation model of a solar‒ground source heat pump coupling system was established using TRNSYS.The accuracy of this model was validated through experiments and simulations on various system configurations,including varying numbers of buried pipes,different areas of solar collectors,and varying volumes of water tanks.The simulations examined the coupling characteristics of these components and their influence on system performance.The results revealed that the operating parameters of the system remained consistent across the following configurations:three buried pipes,burial depth of 20 m,collector area of 6 m^(2),and water tank volume of 0.5 m^(3);four buried pipes,burial depth of 20 m,collector area of 3 m^(2),and water tank volume of 0.5 m^(3);and five buried pipes with a burial depth of 20 m.Furthermore,the heat collection capacity of the solar collectors spanning an area of 3 m^(2)was found to be equivalent to that of one buried pipe.Moreover,the findings revealed that the solar‒ground source heat pump coupling system demonstrated a lower annual cumulative energy consumption compared to the ground source heat pump system,presenting a reduction of 5.31%compared to the energy consumption of the latter.

文摘The concept of matching energy was proposed by Gutman and Wagner firstly in 2012. Let G be a simple graph of order n and λ1, λ2, . . . , λn be the zeros of its matching polynomial. The matching energy of a graph G is defined as ME(G) = Pni=1 |λi|. By the famous Coulson’s formula, matching energies can also be calculated by an improper integral depending on a parameter. A k-claw attaching graph Gu(k) refers to the graph obtained by attaching k pendent edges to the graph G at the vertex u, where u is called the root of Gu(k). In this paper, we use some theories of mathematical analysis to obtain a new technique to compare the matching energies of two k-claw attaching graphs Gu(k) and Hv(k) with the same order, that is, limk→∞[ME(Gu(k)) − ME(Hv(k))] = ME(G − u) − ME(H − v). By the technique, we finally determine unicyclic graphs of order n with the 9th to 13th minimal matching energies for all n ≥ 58.

文摘A dominating induced matching(DIM)of G is an induced matching that dominates every edge of G.In this note,we completely determine the number of DIMs in the generalized Petersen graph P(n,k).We prove that if P(n,k)is a generalized Petersen graph with n=0(mod 5)and k=2,3(mod 5),then E(P(n,k))can be partitioned into five DIMs.Meanwhile,in the left cases k=0,1,4(mod 5),we build some counterexamples to show that there exist some P(n,k)'s which are DIM-free.

文摘Most existing multi-pattern matching algorithms are designed for single English texts leading to issues such as missed matches and space expansion when applied to Chinese-English mixed-text environments.The Hash Trie-based matching machine demonstrates strong compatibility with both Chinese and English,ensuring high accuracy in text processing and subtree positioning.In this study,a novel functional framework based on the HashTrie structure is proposed and mechanically verified using Isabelle/HOL.This framework is applied to design Functional Multi-Pattern Matching(FMPM),the first functional multi-pattern matching algorithm for Chinese-English mixed texts.FMPM constructs the HashTrie matching machine using character codes and threads the machine according to the associations between pattern strings.The experimental results show that as the stored string information increases,the proposed algorithm demonstrates more significant optimization in retrieval efficiency.FMPM simplifies the implementation of the Threaded Hash Trie(THT)for Chinese-English mixed texts,effectively reducing the uncertainties in the transition from the algorithm description to code implementation.FMPM addresses the problem of space explosion Chinese-English mixed texts and avoids issues such as bound variable iteration errors.The functional framework of the HashTrie structure serves as a reference for the formal verification of future HashTrie-based algorithms.

文摘Background:The survival benefits of pulmonary metastasectomy(PM)in colorectal cancer(CRC)patients with pulmonary metastasis remain controversial.This study aimed to assess the survival effect of PM on CRC patients with pulmonary metastasis.Methods:Data from CRC patients with pulmonary metastasis were collected from the Surveillance,Epidemiology,and End Results database between 2010 and 2020.A 1:1 propensity score matching(PSM)analysis was employed to minimize heterogeneity between the groups.Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the overall survival(OS)of CRC patients with pulmonary metastasis who underwent PM.Results:A total of 1,399 CRC patients with pulmonary metastasis were included;140 patients and 1,259 patients underwent PM and did not,respectively.After PSM,there were 140 patients in each group.Patients who underwent PM demonstrated a longer median OS than those who did not,in both the overall cohort and the PSM cohort.In the PSM cohort,the median OS was 51 months(95%confidence interval[CI],45-64 months)for CRC patients with pulmonary metastasis who underwent PM and 36 months(95%CI,31-42 months)for those who did not undergo PM.Additionally,Cox proportional hazard models indicated that PM was a significant protective factor for OS in CRC patients with pulmonary metastasis(hazard ratio:0.57;95%CI,0.41-0.80,P<0.01).Conclusion:PM prolongs the survival of CRC patients with pulmonary metastasis.
文摘In this study,the wave motion in elastodynamics for unbounded media is modeled using an unsplit-field perfectly matched layer(PML)formulation that is solved by employing an isogeometric analysis(IGA).In the adopted combination,the non-uniform rational B-spline(NURBS)functions are employed as basis functions.Moreover,the unbounded and artificial domains,defined in the PML method,are contained in a single patch domain.Based on the proposed scheme,the approximation of the geometry problem is set in a new scheme in which the PML’s absorbing and attenuation properties and the description of traveling waves can be represented.This includes a higher continuity and smoother approximation of the computed domain.As high-order NURBS basis functions are non-interpolatory,a penalty method is present to apply a time-dependent displacement load.The performance of the NURBS-based PML is analyzed through numerical examples for 1D and 2D domains,considering homogeneous and heterogeneous media.Further,we verify the long-time numerical stability of the present method.The developed method can be used to simulate hypothetical stratified domains commonly encountered in soil-structure interaction analyses.

文摘AIM:To compare analysis of the impact of high altitude on corneal endothelial cells,and the prognosis in patients with cataract surgeries.METHODS:Totally 265 plateau patients with cataract surgeries performed between January 2019 and July 2022(average altitude=3000 m),and 524 plain patients with cataract surgeries performed between January 2020 and July 2022 were included.The propensity score matching(PSM)method was applied to match the basic information of patients in both regions on a 1:1 basis.Corneal endothelial cell density(ECD),coefficient of variation(CV),hexagonal cell ratio(HEX),duration of surgery,and pre-and postoperative visual acuity(VA)were compared retrospectively,and correlation tests were done.RESULTS:Totally 223 pairs have been matched successfully.The HEX in the plateau group was higher than that in the plain group(61.95%±6.191%vs 44.91%±6.829%,P<0.001).For ECD and CV,no significant differences were observed between both groups(P>0.1).The pre-and postoperative VA of patients with cataract surgeries in the plateau group were lower(1.40±0.610 vs 0.71±0.514,P<0.001&0.68±0.479 vs 0.18±0.259,P<0.001),and the duration of surgery was longer than those in the plain group(27.06±14.900 min vs 16.03±8.033 min,P<0.001).No significant associations were found between the post-operative VA and the corneal endothelial parameters(P>0.05),while the post-operative VA was significantly related to the pre-operative VA and the duration of surgery(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The relative hypoxic environment of the plateau does not promote the apoptosis of corneal endothelial cells,but may lead to the compensatory increase of their functions.In plateau patients,no significant associations are found between the poor VA and the corneal endothelial functions early after cataract surgeries.
文摘The cross-modal person re-identification task aims to match visible and infrared images of the same individual.The main challenges in this field arise from significant modality differences between individuals and the lack of high-quality cross-modal correspondence methods.Existing approaches often attempt to establish modality correspondence by extracting shared features across different modalities.However,these methods tend to focus on local information extraction and fail to fully leverage the global identity information in the cross-modal features,resulting in limited correspondence accuracy and suboptimal matching performance.To address this issue,we propose a quadratic graph matching method designed to overcome the challenges posed by modality differences through precise cross-modal relationship alignment.This method transforms the cross-modal correspondence problem into a graph matching task and minimizes the matching cost using a center search mechanism.Building on this approach,we further design a block reasoning module to uncover latent relationships between person identities and optimize the modality correspondence results.The block strategy not only improves the efficiency of updating gallery images but also enhances matching accuracy while reducing computational load.Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on the SYSU-MM01,RegDB,and RGBNT201 datasets,achieving excellent matching accuracy and robustness,thereby validating its effectiveness in cross-modal person re-identification.
