However, traditional air target intent recognition methods, which mainly rely on manually designed neural network models, find it difficult to maintain sustained and excellent performance in such a complex and changing environment. To address the problem of the adaptability of neural network models in complex environments, we propose a lightweight Transformer model(TransATIR) with a strong adaptive adjustment capability, based on the characteristics of air target intent recognition and the neural network architecture search technique. After conducting extensive experiments, it has been proved that TransATIR can efficiently extract the deep feature information from battlefield situation data by utilizing the neural architecture search algorithm, in order to quickly and accurately identify the real intention of the target. The experimental results indicate that TransATIR significantly improves recognition accuracy compared to the existing state-of-the-art methods, and also effectively reduces the computational complexity of the model.展开更多

文摘Focusing on the digital evaluation of classroom teaching quality in private colleges and universities,an indicator model of“teaching subject-teaching object-teaching effect”for the landscape architecture major of Chongqing College of Humanities,Science&Technology was constructed.By using methods such as Delphi,AHP,Likert and questionnaire survey,the teaching quality of 8 courses of landscape architecture major was evaluated.The results show that the average score of the indicators is 2.8776,indicating that the overall improvement space for the teaching quality of the sample professional courses is relatively large,and the key shortcomings are students’learning interest and initiative,the application and transformation of professional knowledge,as well as the cultivation of innovation and practical ability.The research verified the scientific nature and discrimination of the model,and put forward suggestions for the precise improvement of classroom atmosphere,assignment design and ability cultivation driven by data,thereby providing a replicable model for the digital evaluation and teaching quality improvement of engineering majors in private colleges and universities.
文摘A universal set of mathematical qualities combine complexity with geometry to define“living geometry”.Those properties apply equally to organisms as to inanimate matter.A special type of geometry that merges approximate fractal structure with nested symmetries on all scales describes most biological and natural forms.Christopher Alexander discovered 15 geometrical properties in the context of architecture adapted to human feelings,and those provide a practical toolkit for creating living geometry in artifacts,buildings,and urban spaces.AI can be used to both validate the importance of living geometry for human health,and to evaluate architectural designs before and after they are built.Human beings evolved their neurological system to interpret living geometry defined by the ancestral natural environment,and the same interpretative reference is used to navigate today’s built environment.This knowledge helps to understand how geometry affects cognition,emotions,and health.Asking large-language models about the best learning environments for creative thought produces a list of suggestions for renovating lecture and studio spaces in architecture schools.A severe disconnect between the contemporary urban experience and living geometry has negative effects on human health,intelligence,and the learning process.AI helps to completely rethink design aesthetics and design-making strategies.
文摘The aim of this article is to present a unique interpretation of the holistic worldview,both in theory and in practice.It explores how this approach,along with a planning process fundamentally different from conventional methods,was implemented in the design and construction of the Music Center and Library in the city of Tel Aviv.This process forms a coherent representation of a complete worldview:a humanistic,holistic worldview developed and adopted through more than five decades of architectural practice across all scales of design.In this approach,a building is not regarded as a collection of isolated design elements,but as one hierarchical language,in which the building,its interior,and its ornamented details down to the handle of the door is one continuous system.Within this system,the building,its interior spaces,and even the smallest ornamental details,down to the door handles,are conceived as parts of a single,continuous whole.This worldview aligns with contemporary scientific discourse in fields such as cosmology,neurobiology,psychology,complexity theory,and Buddhist philosophy,disciplines with which this body of work is closely associated.
文摘In the context of the new era,deepening education reform and improving the quality of talent cultivation are important measures for universities to align with industry trends and the development needs of students.With the continuous growth of the economy,the construction industry is undergoing rapid development and transformation,and there is an increasing demand for high-quality and high-level applied talents,which poses certain challenges to the architecture majors in universities.Therefore,universities should actively follow the industry development trends and the characteristics of talents,clarify the talent cultivation objectives,optimize the professional teaching system,and promote the high-quality development of education.The cultivation of applied talents in the architecture major of universities is not only an internal requirement for the development of the construction industry but also an important part of the country’s innovation-driven development strategy.It is of great significance for promoting scientific and technological progress,enhancing cultural confidence,and promoting the comprehensive development of the economy and society.

文摘Modern air battlefield operations are characterized by flexibility and change, and the battlefield evolves rapidly and intricately. However, traditional air target intent recognition methods, which mainly rely on manually designed neural network models, find it difficult to maintain sustained and excellent performance in such a complex and changing environment. To address the problem of the adaptability of neural network models in complex environments, we propose a lightweight Transformer model(TransATIR) with a strong adaptive adjustment capability, based on the characteristics of air target intent recognition and the neural network architecture search technique. After conducting extensive experiments, it has been proved that TransATIR can efficiently extract the deep feature information from battlefield situation data by utilizing the neural architecture search algorithm, in order to quickly and accurately identify the real intention of the target. The experimental results indicate that TransATIR significantly improves recognition accuracy compared to the existing state-of-the-art methods, and also effectively reduces the computational complexity of the model.

文摘With the continuous advancement of electronic devices,flexible thin films with both thermal manage-ment functions and excellent electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding properties have received much attention.Hence,inspired by Janus,a CNF/MXene/ZnFe2O4@PANI composite film with an asymmetric gradient alternating structure was successfully prepared by adjusting the filler content of the conduc-tive and magnetic layers using a vacuum-assisted filtration method.Benefiting from the magnetic reso-nance and hysteresis loss of ZnFe2O4@PANI,conductive loss and dipole polarization of MXene,as well as the exclusive"absorption-reflection-reabsorption"shielding feature in the alternating multilayered films,CM&CZFP-4 G film has superior EMI shielding performance,with an EMI SE of up to 45.75 dB and shield-ing effectiveness of 99.99%.Surprisingly,the composite film maintains reliable EMI shielding properties even after prolonged erosion in harsh environments such as high/low temperatures,high humidity,acids and alkalis.Furthermore,the CM&CZFP-4 G responded quickly within about 50 s and reached a maximum steady-state temperature of 235.8℃ at an applied voltage of 9.0 V,indicating the obtained film acquired outstanding and controllable Joule heating performance.This result was attributed to the homogeneous dispersion of MXene to build up a conductive network and endow the CNF/MXene with high conduc-tivity.Meanwhile,the fire resistance of CM&CZFP-4 G was significantly improved compared to pure CNF,which guaranteed fire safety during its application.Additionally,contributed by long fiber entanglement of CNF,extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions and multilayer structural design,the CM&CZFP-4 G film exhibits excellent mechanical characteristics,with the tensile strength and fracture strain of 27.74 MPa and 6.21%,separately.This work offers a creative avenue to prepare multifunctional composite films with electromagnetic shielding and Joule heating for various application environments.

文摘Solid-state sodium batteries offer new opportunities for emerging applications with sensitivity to safety and cost.However,the prevailing composite electrolyte structure,as a core component,is still poorly conductive to Na ions.Herein,a 3D architecture design of Na^(+)conductive Na_(3)Zr_(2)Si_(2)PO_(12)framework is introduced to in situ compound with polymer electrolyte,subtly inducing an anion-enriched interface that acts as rapid ion immigration channel.Multiple continuous and fast Na^(+)transport pathways are built via the amorphization of polymer matrix,the consecutive skeleton,and the induced anion-adsorbed interface,resulting in a high ionic conductivity of4.43×10^(-4)S.cm^(-1).Notably,the design of 3D skeleton not only enables the content of inorganic part exceeds 60wt%without any sign of agglomeration,but also endows the composite electrolyte reach a high transference number of 0.61 by immobilizing the anions.The assembled quasisolid-state cells exhibit high practical safety and can stably work for over 1500 cycles with 83.1%capacity retention.This tactic affords new insights in designing Na^(+)conductive composite electrolytes suffering from slow ion immigration for quasi-solid-state sodium batteries.
