The results illustrate that the frequency of haze events between 1981 and 2010 peaked in winter but bottomed out in summer and decreased from north to south in the YRD region, reaching at the lowest point in ＂low frequency center＂ - Shanghai. When haze happened, the most seriously affected area was 2-4 km above the ground and the concentrated range of total backscattering coefficient（TBC） that decreased with altitude was 0.8 × 10^（-3）-2.5 × 10^（-3） km^（-1）·sr^（-1）. Particulate depolarization ratio（PDR） was less than 40%in a large part and 93% aerosols over the YRD area were regular particles, while the irregular ones concentrated on 2 km above the surface and the irregularity rose up but the diversity diminished when altitude increased. Color ratio（CR） was lower than 1.2 mostly at all altitudes and distributed asymmetrically above the ground. Nearly 80% aerosols under10 km were fine particles（CR 〈1.0） clustered at 2-4 km. Large particles（CR 〉 1.2） aggregated in lower troposphere massively yet relatively smaller ones gathered in middle and upper troposphere. In the YRD region, aerosols with more powerful capabilities were wider and less regular than the ones of Northwestern China.展开更多

Firstly, we re-derive the hydrodynamic model to ensure the thermodynamic laws are obeyed and elastic stresses and forces are consistently accounted. We then carry out a linear stability analysis about constant steady states to study near equilibrium dynamics around the steady states, revealing long-wave instability inherent in this model system and how active parameters in the model affect the instability. We then study model predictions for one- dimensional （1D） spatial-temporal structures of active liquid crystals in a channel subject to physical boundary conditions. We discuss the model prediction in two selected regimes, one is the viscous stress dominated regime, also known as the flow-driven regime, while the other is the full regime, in which all active mechanisms are included. In the viscous stress dominated regime, the polarity vector is driven by the prescribed flow field. Dynamics depend sensitively on the physical boundary condition and the type of the driven flow field. Bulk-dominated temporal periodic states and spatially homogeneous states are possible under weak anchoring conditions while spatially inhomogeneous states exist under strong anchoring conditions. In the full model, flow-orientation interaction generates a host of planar as well as out-of-plane spatial-temporal structures related to the spontaneous flows due to the molecular self-propelled motion. These results provide contact with the recent literature on active nematic suspensions. In addition, symmetry breaking pattems emerge as the additional active viscous stress due to the polarity vector is included in the force balance. The inertia effect is found to limit the long-time survival of spatial structures to those with small wave numbers, i.e., an asymptotic coarsening to long wave structures. A rich set of mechanisms for generating and limiting the flow structures as well as the spatial-temporal structures predicted by the model are displayed.展开更多

文摘With the increasing complexity of industrial automation,planetary gearboxes play a vital role in largescale equipment transmission systems,directly impacting operational efficiency and safety.Traditional maintenance strategies often struggle to accurately predict the degradation process of equipment,leading to excessive maintenance costs or potential failure risks.However,existing prediction methods based on statistical models are difficult to adapt to nonlinear degradation processes.To address these challenges,this study proposes a novel condition-based maintenance framework for planetary gearboxes.A comprehensive full-lifecycle degradation experiment was conducted to collect raw vibration signals,which were then processed using a temporal convolutional network autoencoder with multi-scale perception capability to extract deep temporal degradation features,enabling the collaborative extraction of longperiod meshing frequencies and short-term impact features from the vibration signals.Kernel principal component analysis was employed to fuse and normalize these features,enhancing the characterization of degradation progression.A nonlinear Wiener process was used to model the degradation trajectory,with a threshold decay function introduced to dynamically adjust maintenance strategies,and model parameters optimized through maximum likelihood estimation.Meanwhile,the maintenance strategy was optimized to minimize costs per unit time,determining the optimal maintenance timing and preventive maintenance threshold.The comprehensive indicator of degradation trends extracted by this method reaches 0.756,which is 41.2%higher than that of traditional time-domain features;the dynamic threshold strategy reduces the maintenance cost per unit time to 55.56,which is 8.9%better than that of the static threshold optimization.Experimental results demonstrate significant reductions in maintenance costs while enhancing system reliability and safety.This study realizes the organic integration of deep learning and reliability theory in the maintenance of planetary gearboxes,provides an interpretable solution for the predictive maintenance of complex mechanical systems,and promotes the development of condition-based maintenance strategies for planetary gearboxes.

文摘This study examined the influence of the built environment surrounding rail stations on rail transit ridership and its spatiotemporal variations,aiming to enhance rail transit operational efficiency and inform station planning and development.Data from 159 metro stations in Nanjing,collected over a 14-d period,were analyzed to identify changes in weekday and weekend ridership patterns.The analysis included explanatory variables grouped into three categories:urban spatial variables,socioeconomic vari-ables,and transit service variables.A geographically and temporally weighted regression(GTWR)model was developed,and its performance was compared with that of ordinary least squares(OLS)and geographically weighted regression(GWR)models.The results demonstrated that the GTWR model outperformed others in analyzing the relationship between rail transit ridership and the built environment.In addition,the coefficients of explanatory variables showed significant variation across spatiotemporal dimensions,revealing distinct patterns.Notably,the influence of commuter flows led to more pronounced temporal heterogeneity in the coefficients observed on weekdays.These findings offer valuable insights for optimizing urban public transportation systems and advancing integrated urban rail development.

文摘Research on human motion prediction has made significant progress due to its importance in the development of various artificial intelligence applications.However,effectively capturing spatio-temporal features for smoother and more precise human motion prediction remains a challenge.To address these issues,a robust human motion prediction method via integration of spatial and temporal cues(RISTC)has been proposed.This method captures sufficient spatio-temporal correlation of the observable sequence of human poses by utilizing the spatio-temporal mixed feature extractor(MFE).In multi-layer MFEs,the channel-graph united attention blocks extract the augmented spatial features of the human poses in the channel and spatial dimension.Additionally,multi-scale temporal blocks have been designed to effectively capture complicated and highly dynamic temporal information.Our experiments on the Human3.6M and Carnegie Mellon University motion capture(CMU Mocap)datasets show that the proposed network yields higher prediction accuracy than the state-of-the-art methods.

文摘Predicting human motion based on historical motion sequences is a fundamental problem in computer vision,which is at the core of many applications.Existing approaches primarily focus on encoding spatial dependencies among human joints while ignoring the temporal cues and the complex relationships across non-consecutive frames.These limitations hinder the model’s ability to generate accurate predictions over longer time horizons and in scenarios with complex motion patterns.To address the above problems,we proposed a novel multi-level spatial and temporal learning model,which consists of a Cross Spatial Dependencies Encoding Module(CSM)and a Dynamic Temporal Connection Encoding Module(DTM).Specifically,the CSM is designed to capture complementary local and global spatial dependent information at both the joint level and the joint pair level.We further present DTM to encode diverse temporal evolution contexts and compress motion features to a deep level,enabling the model to capture both short-term and long-term dependencies efficiently.Extensive experiments conducted on the Human 3.6M and CMU Mocap datasets demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance in both short-term and long-term predictions,outperforming existing methods by up to 20.3% in accuracy.Furthermore,ablation studies confirm the significant contributions of the CSM and DTM in enhancing prediction accuracy.
文摘This study investigated the spatio-temporal variation characteristics of ecosystem service value(ESV)alongside its driving influencing factors,thereby offering valuable theoretical insights for the sustainable development of Jingzhou City,Hubei Province.Based on the land use data for Jingzhou City from 2000 to 2020,this study quantified the value of the ecological environment using the equivalent factor method.Furthermore,it analyzed and elucidated the spatio-temporal heterogeneity and driving mechanisms of ecosystem services in Jingzhou City.The results indicated that between 2000 and 2020,cultivated land(66.40%)and water area(18.82%)were the predominant land use types in Jingzhou City.The areas of water area and construction land exhibited a growth trend during this period.Construction land had the highest rate of land use change,followed by water area and cultivated land.Land use transitions primarily occurred between cultivated land and water area,as well as between cultivated land and construction land.The total value of ecosystem services in Jingzhou City increased by 165.07%from 2000 to 2020.ESV exhibited an upward trend from 2000 to 2015,followed by a gradual decline from 2015 to 2020.The ranking of individual ecosystem services,in descending order,was as follows:regulation services,supporting services,provisioning services,and cultural services.High-value ESV areas were predominantly situated in the water area of Lake Honghu,while low-value regions were mainly found in the cultivated land in the central and western parts of Jingzhou City.The spatial differentiation of ESV in Jingzhzou City was influenced by both natural and socio-economic factors,with natural factors exerting a more significant impact than socioeconomic factors.Specifically,the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI)was the dominant environmental factor,while GDP plays a synergistic role.

文摘To overcome the deficiencies of single-modal emotion recognition based on facial expression or bodily posture in natural scenes,a spatial guidance and temporal enhancement(SG-TE)network is proposed for facial-bodily emotion recognition.First,ResNet50,DNN and spatial ransformer models are used to capture facial texture vectors,bodily skeleton vectors and wholebody geometric vectors,and an intraframe correlation attention guidance(S-CAG)mechanism,which guides the facial texture vector and the bodily skeleton vector by the whole-body geometric vector,is designed to exploit the spatial potential emotional correlation between face and posture.Second,an interframe significant segment enhancement(T-SSE)structure is embedded into a temporal transformer to enhance high emotional intensity frame information and avoid emotional asynchrony.Finally,an adaptive weight assignment(M-AWA)strategy is constructed to realise facial-bodily fusion.The experimental results on the BabyRobot Emotion Dataset(BRED)and Context-Aware Emotion Recognition(CAER)dataset indicate that the proposed network reaches accuracies of 81.61%and 89.39%,which are 9.61%and 9.46%higher than those of the baseline network,respectively.Compared with the state-of-the-art methods,the proposed method achieves 7.73%and 20.57%higher accuracy than single-modal methods based on facial expression or bodily posture,respectively,and 2.16%higher accuracy than the dual-modal methods based on facial-bodily fusion.Therefore,the proposed method,which adaptively fuses the complementary information of face and posture,improves the quality of emotion recognition in real-world scenarios.
文摘Based on the data of meteorological elements and concentration of negative ions in the county town station,Luguhe station and Yunjishan station during 2020-2024,the temporal and spatial variations in the concentration of negative ions and their influencing factors in Xinfeng County were analyzed.The results show that the concentration of negative ions was the highest in summer,followed by spring;it was lower in autumn and the lowest in winter.In terms of diurnal variations,it was higher in the early morning and night,and lower in the noon and afternoon,which was closely related to the diurnal variations of human activities and meteorological conditions.The factors that affect the concentration of negative ions in the air are more complex.Besides meteorological factors,vegetation,altitude,human activities and other factors should be considered.

文摘Cisplatin is widely used to treat osteosarcoma,but recurrent cases often develop resistance,allowing the disease to progress and complicating clinical management.This study aimed to elucidate the immune microenvironment of osteosarcoma,providing insights into the mechanisms of recurrence and identifying potential therapeutic strategies.By analyzing multiple single-cell and bulk RNA-sequencing datasets,we discovered that the SUMOylation-related gene ZNF451 promotes osteosarcoma recurrence and alters its immune microenvironment.ZNF451 was found to importantly enhance the growth,migration,and invasion of resistant cells while also reducing their sensitivity to cisplatin and lowering their apoptosis rate.Moreover,our data indicated that ZNF451 plays a crucial role in bone resorption and epithelial–mesenchymal transition.ZNF451 also regulates CD8^(+)T cell function,leading to their exhaustion and transition to the CD8T.EXH state.Additionally,β-cryptoxanthin has been identified as a potential therapeutic agent that inhibits osteosarcoma progression by targeting ZNF451.In summary,these findings highlight the critical role of ZNF451 in promoting osteosarcoma progression and underscore its potential as a therapeutic target and biomarker for osteosarcoma.
文摘High-resolution spatiotemporal simulations effectively capture the complexities of atmospheric plume sion disper-in complex terrain.However,their high computational cost makes them impractical for applications requiring rapid responses or iterative processes,such as optimization,uncertainty quantification,or inverse modeling.To address this challenge,this work introduces the Dual-Stage Temporal Three-dimensional UNet Super-resolution(DST3D-UNet-SR)model,a highly efficient deep learning model for plume dispersion predictions.DST3D-UNet-SR is composed of two sequential modules:the temporal module(TM),which predicts the transient evolution of a plume in complex terrain from low-resolution temporal data,and the spatial refinement module(SRM),which subsequently enhances the spatial resolution of the TM predictions.We train DST3D-UNet-SR using a comprehensive dataset derived from high-resolution large eddy simulations(LES)of plume transport.We propose the DST3D-UNet-SR model to significantly accelerate LES of three-dimensional(3D)plume dispersion by three orders of magnitude.Additionally,the model demonstrates the ability to dynamically adapt to evolving conditions through the incorporation of new observational data,substantially improving prediction accuracy in high-concentration regions near the source.
文摘Smart grid substation operations often take place in hazardous environments and pose significant threats to the safety of power personnel.Relying solely on manual supervision can lead to inadequate oversight.In response to the demand for technology to identify improper operations in substation work scenarios,this paper proposes a substation safety action recognition technology to avoid the misoperation and enhance the safety management.In general,this paper utilizes a dual-branch transformer network to extract spatial and temporal information from the video dataset of operational behaviors in complex substation environments.Firstly,in order to capture the spatial-temporal correlation of people's behaviors in smart grid substation,we devise a sparse attention module and a segmented linear attention module that are embedded into spatial branch transformer and temporal branch transformer respectively.To avoid the redundancy of spatial and temporal information,we fuse the temporal and spatial features using a tensor decomposition fusion module by a decoupled manner.Experimental results indicate that our proposed method accurately detects improper operational behaviors in substation work scenarios,outperforming other existing methods in terms of detection and recognition accuracy.

文摘The urban spatial structure reflects a city’s development history,cultural heritage,and socio-economic conditions.A rational urban spatial structure is crucial for urban development.This study focuses on the main urban area of Nanjing,analyzing POI and nighttime light data from 2016 to 2020.Utilizing kernel density estimation and coupling coordination models,it explores the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics of Nanjing’s urban spatial structure.Geographic detectors are employed to assess the impact of various factors on this structure.The findings indicate that:(1)Nanjing’s urban spatial structure displays a pattern of central aggregation and peripheral expansion,with high brightness concentrated in the urban center and a significant increase in peripheral brightness,signaling initial success in establishing urban subcenters;(2)The coupling relationship between nighttime light brightness and POI density has strengthened,suggesting improved coordination of the urban spatial structure;(3)The evolution of Nanjing’s urban spatial structure results from the combined effects of multiple factors,including economic level,population distribution,transportation conditions,and policy planning.
