With these abilities, receivers can obtain signals with different power in ultra-wideband frequency space without information loss. However, conventional receiving scheme is hard to have large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously because of the analog-to-digital converter(ADC) dynamic range and sample rate limitations. In this paper, based on the modulated sampling and unlimited sampling, a novel receiving scheme is proposed to achieve large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving. Focusing on the single carrier signals, the proposed scheme only uses a single self-rest ADC(SR-ADC) with low sample rate, and it achieves large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously. Two receiving scenarios are considered, and they are cooperative strong signal receiving and non-cooperative strong/weak signals receiving. In the cooperative receiving scenario, an improved fast recovery method is proposed to obtain the modulated sampling output. In the non-cooperative receiving scenario, the strong and weak signals with different carrier frequencies are considered, and the signal processing method can recover and estimate each signal. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can realize large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously when the input signal-to-noise(SNR) ratio is high.展开更多

However, i...With the widespread use of blockchain technology for smart contracts and decentralized applications on the Ethereum platform, the blockchain has become a cornerstone of trust in the modern financial system. However, its anonymity has provided new ways for Ponzi schemes to commit fraud, posing significant risks to investors. Current research still has some limitations, for example, Ponzi schemes are difficult to detect in the early stages of smart contract deployment, and data imbalance is not considered. In addition, there is room for improving the detection accuracy. To address the above issues, this paper proposes LT-SPSD (LSTM-Transformer smart Ponzi schemes detection), which is a Ponzi scheme detection method that combines Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Transformer considering the time-series transaction information of smart contracts as well as the global information. Based on the verified smart contract addresses, account features, and code features are extracted to construct a feature dataset, and the SMOTE-Tomek algorithm is used to deal with the imbalanced data classification problem. By comparing our method with the other four typical detection methods in the experiment, the LT-SPSD method shows significant performance improvement in precision, recall, and F1-score. The results of the experiment confirm the efficacy of the model, which has some application value in Ethereum Ponzi scheme smart contract detection.展开更多

文摘Selection of negative samples significantly influences landslide susceptibility assessment,especially when establishing the relationship between landslides and environmental factors in regions with complex geological conditions.Traditional sampling strategies commonly used in landslide susceptibility models can lead to a misrepresentation of the distribution of negative samples,causing a deviation from actual geological conditions.This,in turn,negatively affects the discriminative ability and generalization performance of the models.To address this issue,we propose a novel approach for selecting negative samples to enhance the quality of machine learning models.We choose the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture,located in southwestern Sichuan,China,as the case study.This area,characterized by complex terrain,frequent tectonic activities,and steep slope erosion,experiences recurrent landslides,making it an ideal setting for validating our proposed method.We calculate the contribution values of environmental factors using the relief algorithm to construct the feature space,apply the Target Space Exteriorization Sampling(TSES)method to select negative samples,calculate landslide probability values by Random Forest(RF)modeling,and then create regional landslide susceptibility maps.We evaluate the performance of the RF model optimized by the Environmental Factor Selection-based TSES(EFSTSES)method using standard performance metrics.The results indicated that the model achieved an accuracy(ACC)of 0.962,precision(PRE)of 0.961,and an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.962.These findings demonstrate that the EFSTSES-based model effectively mitigates the negative sample imbalance issue,enhances the differentiation between landslide and non-landslide samples,and reduces misclassification,particularly in geologically complex areas.These improvements offer valuable insights for disaster prevention,land use planning,and risk mitigation strategies.

文摘Flip-flow screens offer unique advantages in grading fine-grained materials.To address inaccuracies caused by sensor vibra-tions in traditional contact measurement methods,we constructed a non-invasive measurement system based on electrical and optical sig-nals.A trajectory tracking algorithm for the screen-body was developed to visually measure the kinematics.Employing the principle oflaser reflection for distance measurement,optical techniques were performed to capture the kinematic information of the screen-plate.Ad-ditionally,by using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmission of electrical signals,tracer particle tracking technology was implemented to elec-trically measure the kinematic information of mineral particles.Consequently,intelligent fusion and perception of the kinematic informa-tion for the screen-body,screen-plate,and particles in the screening system have been achieved.

文摘BACKGROUND Internet gaming disorder(IGD)is a growing concern among adolescents and adults,necessitating effective treatment strategies beyond pharmacological interventions.AIM To evaluated the effectiveness of non-invasive interventions for treating IGD among adolescents and adults.METHODS A total of 11 randomized controlled trials published between 2020 and 2025 were included in this meta-analysis,encompassing 1208 participants from diverse geographic and cultural contexts.The interventions examined included cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT),internet-based CBT,neurofeedback,virtual reality therapy,abstinence-based programs,and school-based prevention.The primary outcomes assessed were reductions in gaming time and IGD severity.Secondary outcomes included improvements in mood,anxiety,and psychosocial functioning(e.g.,stronger peer relationships,better academic or work performance,and healthier daily-life role fulfillment).RESULTS The pooled standardized mean difference for IGD symptom reduction significantly favored non-invasive interventions(Hedges’g=0.56,95%CI:0.38-0.74,P<0.001),with moderate heterogeneity observed(I2=47%).Subgroup analyses indicated that CBT-based programs,both in-person and online,yielded the strongest effects,particularly when caregiver involvement or self-monitoring was incorporated.Funnel plot asymmetry was minimal,suggesting a low risk of publication bias.CONCLUSION These findings support the efficacy of scalable,low-risk non-invasive interventions as first-line treatment options for IGD,particularly in youth populations.Future studies should prioritize investigating long-term outcomes,comparing the effectiveness of different non-invasive modalities,and developing culturally adaptive delivery methods.

文摘A comprehensive fishery-independent survey generally incorporates various specialized surveys and integrates different survey objectives to maximize benefits while accounting for cost limitations.It is important to evaluate the adaptability of the comprehensive survey for different taxon to get the optimal design.However,the validity and adaptability of ichthyoplankton sampling incorporated in a comprehensive fishery-independent survey program in estimating abundance of ichthyoplankton species is little known.This study included ichthyoplankton sampling in an integrated survey and assessed the appropriateness of survey design.The Kriging interpolation based on Gaussian models was used to estimate the values at unsurveyed locations based on the original ichthyoplankton survey data in the Haizhou Bay as the“true”values.The sampling performances of the ongoing stratified random sampling(StRS),simple random sampling(SRS),cluster sampling(CS),hexagonal systematic sampling(SYS h),and regular systematic sampling(SYS r)with different sample sizes in estimating ichthyoplankton abundance were compared in relative estimation error(REE),relative bias(RB),and coefficient of variation(CV)by computer simulation.The ongoing StRS performed better than CS and SRS,but not as good as the two systematic sampling methods,and the current sample size in StRS design was insufficient to estimate ichthyoplankton abundance.The average REE values(meanREE)were significantly smaller in two systematic sampling designs than those in other three sampling designs,and the two systematic sampling designs could maintain good inter-annual stability of sampling performances.It is suggested that incorporating ichthyoplankton survey directly into stratified random fishery-independent surveys could not achieve the desired level of accuracy for survey objectives,but the accuracy can be improved by setting additional stations.The assessment framework presented in this study serves as a reference for evaluating the adaptability of integrated surveys to different objectives in other waters.
文摘In this article,we comment on the article by Peta et al.This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of FibroTest-Actitest,transient elastography,and the fibrosis-4 index against a histological reference.Using the Obuchowski measure,the authors demonstrate that FibroTest and vibration-controlled transient elastography outperform the fibrosis-4 index in detecting fibrosis.Additionally,Actitest offers superior estimation of inflammatory activity compared to conventional biomarkers.Assessing liver fibrosis is crucial for managing autoimmune hepatitis(AIH),yet reliance on invasive liver biopsy remains higher than in other liver diseases.This is partly due to more complex diagnostic criteria for AIH,the lack of standardized scoring for non-invasive testing,and the presence of inflammation,which can lead to falsely elevated results with non-invasive tests.A Bayesian latent class model further supports the reliability of these non-invasive tests,highlighting their potential to complement biopsy,particularly for longterm disease monitoring.These findings underscore the importance of noninvasive diagnostics in optimizing AIH management.

文摘When dealing with imbalanced datasets,the traditional support vectormachine(SVM)tends to produce a classification hyperplane that is biased towards the majority class,which exhibits poor robustness.This paper proposes a high-performance classification algorithm specifically designed for imbalanced datasets.The proposed method first uses a biased second-order cone programming support vectormachine(B-SOCP-SVM)to identify the support vectors(SVs)and non-support vectors(NSVs)in the imbalanced data.Then,it applies the synthetic minority over-sampling technique(SV-SMOTE)to oversample the support vectors of the minority class and uses the random under-sampling technique(NSV-RUS)multiple times to undersample the non-support vectors of the majority class.Combining the above-obtained minority class data set withmultiple majority class datasets can obtainmultiple new balanced data sets.Finally,SOCP-SVM is used to classify each data set,and the final result is obtained through the integrated algorithm.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method performs excellently on imbalanced datasets.

文摘The sap flow method is widely used to estimate forest transpiration.However,at the individual tree level it has spatiotemporal variations due to the impacts of environmental conditions and spatial relationships among trees.Therefore,an in-depth understanding of the coupling effects of these factors is important for designing sap flow measurement methods and performing accurate assessments of stand scale transpiration.This study is based on observations of sap flux density(SF_(d))of nine sample trees with different Hegyi’s competition indices(HCIs),soil moisture,and meteorological conditions in a pure plantation of Larix gmelinii var.principis-rupprechtii during the 2021 growing season(May to September).A multifactorial model of sap flow was developed and possible errors in the stand scale sap flow estimates associated with sample sizes were determined using model-based predictions of sap flow.Temporal variations are controlled by vapour pressure deficit(VPD),solar radiation(R),and soil moisture,and these relationships can be described by polynomial or saturated exponential functions.Spatial(individual)differences were influenced by the HCI,as shown by the decaying power function.A simple SF_(d)model at the individual tree level was developed to describe the synergistic influences of VPD,R,soil moisture,and HCI.The coefficient of variations(CV)of the sap flow estimates gradually stabilized when the sample size was>10;at least six sample trees were needed if the CV was within 10%.This study improves understanding of the mechanisms of spatiotemporal variations in sap flow at the individual tree level and provides a new methodology for determining the optimal sample size for sap flow measurements.

文摘Neutron time-of-flight(ToF)measurement is a highly accurate method for obtaining the kinetic energy of a neutron by measuring its velocity,but requires precise acquisition of the neutron signal arrival time.However,the high hardware costs and data burden associated with the acquisition of neutron ToF signals pose significant challenges.Higher sampling rates increase the data volume,data processing,and storage hardware costs.Compressed sampling can address these challenges,but it faces issues regarding optimal sampling efficiency and high-quality reconstructed signals.This paper proposes a revolutionary deep learning-based compressed sampling(DL-CS)algorithm for reconstructing neutron ToF signals that outperform traditional compressed sampling methods.This approach comprises four modules:random projection,rising dimensions,initial reconstruction,and final reconstruction.Initially,the technique adaptively compresses neutron ToF signals sequentially using three convolutional layers,replacing random measurement matrices in traditional compressed sampling theory.Subsequently,the signals are reconstructed using a modified inception module,long short-term memory,and self-attention.The performance of this deep compressed sampling method was quantified using the percentage root-mean-square difference,correlation coefficient,and reconstruction time.Experimental results showed that our proposed DL-CS approach can significantly enhance signal quality compared with other compressed sampling methods.This is evidenced by a percentage root-mean-square difference,correlation coefficient,and reconstruction time results of 5%,0.9988,and 0.0108 s,respectively,obtained for sampling rates below 10%for the neutron ToF signal generated using an electron-beam-driven photoneutron source.The results showed that the proposed DL-CS approach significantly improves the signal quality compared with other compressed sampling methods,exhibiting excellent reconstruction accuracy and speed.

文摘Optical solitons,as self-sustaining waveforms in a nonlinear medium where dispersion and nonlinear effects are balanced,have key applications in ultrafast laser systems and optical communications.Physics-informed neural networks(PINN)provide a new way to solve the nonlinear Schrodinger equation describing the soliton evolution by fusing data-driven and physical constraints.However,the grid point sampling strategy of traditional PINN suffers from high computational complexity and unstable gradient flow,which makes it difficult to capture the physical details efficiently.In this paper,we propose a residual-based adaptive multi-distribution(RAMD)sampling method to optimize the PINN training process by dynamically constructing a multi-modal loss distribution.With a 50%reduction in the number of grid points,RAMD significantly reduces the relative error of PINN and,in particular,optimizes the solution error of the(2+1)Ginzburg–Landau equation from 4.55%to 1.98%.RAMD breaks through the lack of physical constraints in the purely data-driven model by the innovative combination of multi-modal distribution modeling and autonomous sampling control for the design of all-optical communication devices.RAMD provides a high-precision numerical simulation tool for the design of all-optical communication devices,optimization of nonlinear laser devices,and other studies.
文摘Large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving abilities are significant for many receivers. With these abilities, receivers can obtain signals with different power in ultra-wideband frequency space without information loss. However, conventional receiving scheme is hard to have large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously because of the analog-to-digital converter(ADC) dynamic range and sample rate limitations. In this paper, based on the modulated sampling and unlimited sampling, a novel receiving scheme is proposed to achieve large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving. Focusing on the single carrier signals, the proposed scheme only uses a single self-rest ADC(SR-ADC) with low sample rate, and it achieves large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously. Two receiving scenarios are considered, and they are cooperative strong signal receiving and non-cooperative strong/weak signals receiving. In the cooperative receiving scenario, an improved fast recovery method is proposed to obtain the modulated sampling output. In the non-cooperative receiving scenario, the strong and weak signals with different carrier frequencies are considered, and the signal processing method can recover and estimate each signal. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can realize large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously when the input signal-to-noise(SNR) ratio is high.

文摘With the widespread use of blockchain technology for smart contracts and decentralized applications on the Ethereum platform, the blockchain has become a cornerstone of trust in the modern financial system. However, its anonymity has provided new ways for Ponzi schemes to commit fraud, posing significant risks to investors. Current research still has some limitations, for example, Ponzi schemes are difficult to detect in the early stages of smart contract deployment, and data imbalance is not considered. In addition, there is room for improving the detection accuracy. To address the above issues, this paper proposes LT-SPSD (LSTM-Transformer smart Ponzi schemes detection), which is a Ponzi scheme detection method that combines Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Transformer considering the time-series transaction information of smart contracts as well as the global information. Based on the verified smart contract addresses, account features, and code features are extracted to construct a feature dataset, and the SMOTE-Tomek algorithm is used to deal with the imbalanced data classification problem. By comparing our method with the other four typical detection methods in the experiment, the LT-SPSD method shows significant performance improvement in precision, recall, and F1-score. The results of the experiment confirm the efficacy of the model, which has some application value in Ethereum Ponzi scheme smart contract detection.
