These excursions have been interpreted as a result of widespread remineralization of a large dissolved organic carbon（DOC） reservoir in the Ediacaran deep oceans. However, there is no direct evidence so far found in rocks for the proposed DOC reservoir, which devalues such an interpretation. Here, we conducted a detailed study on the glow-curves characteristics and signal origins of spurious thermoluminescence（TL） of the Doushantuo Formation at Jiulongwan in Yangtze Gorges area, South China, through sequential tests under CO2, N2 and air. Spurious TL intensities for test samples before and after removing soluble organic matter via accelerated solvent extraction（ASE） are nearly identical. Further, significant positive correlation between the spurious TL intensity and total inorganic carbon（TIC） content（R^2=0.7） indicate that the Doushantuo spurious TL with the characteristic peak at 393.5 °C from the sequential test is chemiluminescence（CL） which is derived from the oxidation of a type of non-volatile organic matter strongly associated with carbonate mineral lattice（termed as “X-OM”）. A most likely explanation is that the X-OM is a type of dissolved organic matter which co-precipitated with carbonate minerals into sediments in the Ediacaran Doushantuo Ocean. Furthermore, a significant exponential negative correlation（R^2=0.55） is observed between the CL data and the isotopic difference between carbonate and coexisting bulk organic matter（i.e., Δ^（13）C（carb-org）, a proxy for remineralization degree of DOC reservoir in proposed DOC hypothesis）, suggesting that the X-OM was derived from the oxidation of the DOC reservoir in the Ediacaran Ocean. We thus propose that the X-OM and its CL detected in our study may have recorded the evolution of the possible DOC reservoir in the Ediacaran Doushantuo Ocean. If this is correct, the stratigraphic variations of the CL intensity in the Doushantuo Formation at Jiulongwan support the pulsed oxidation of the DOC reservoir in the Ediacaran Ocean. Our findings indicate that the CL derived from the oxidation of non-volatile organic matter which is strongly associated with carbonate mineral lattices in rocks may provide a feasible approach for probing the evolution of DOC reservoir in the ancient oceans, thus likely provide direct geological evidence for the development of oceanic DOC reservoir in geological times.展开更多

This frequen- cy synthesizer is based on a direct digital synthesizer （ DDS ） -driven wideband phase-locked loop （PLL） architecture which can achieve low spurious noise and rapid frequency hopping simultaneous- ly. The mechanism of introducing high level spurs by the images of DDS digital to analog convertor （DAC） output is analyzed. A novel DDS frequency planning method is proposed to ensure low col- ored noise within the entire bandwidth. The designed output frequency range is 3. 765 -4. 085 GHz, and the step size is 5 MHz with frequency agility of less than 1 μs. Measured results demonstrate that the average spurious free dynamic range （SFDR） is about 64 dBc in a 320 MHz bandwidth.展开更多

Numerical results including piezoelectricity, electron and hole levels, as well as wave functions are achieved. In the calculation of energy levels, we do observe spurious solutions （SSs） no matter Burt Foreman or symmetrized Hamiltonians are used. Different theories are used to analyse the SSs, we find that the ellipticity theory can give a better explanation for the origin of SSs and symmetrized Hamiltonian is easier to lead to SSs. The energy levels simulated with the two Hamiltonians are compared to each other after eliminating SSs, different Hamiltonians cause a larger difference on electron energy levels than that on hole energy levels and this difference decreases with the increase of QD size.展开更多

These signals are deterministic and periodic in the time domain, so they appear as line spectra in the frequency domain. Two types of spurious signals due to amplitude quantization are exactly formulated and compared in the time and frequency domains respectively. Then the frequency spectra and power levels of the spurious signals due to amplitude quantization in the absence of phase-accumulator truncation are emphatically analyzed, and the effects of the DDFS parameter variations on the spurious signals are thoroughly studied by computer simulation. And several important conclusions are derived which can provide theoretical support for parameter choice and spurious performance evaluation in the application of DDFSs.展开更多

By calculating the Reference Potential Energy （RPE）, front revolution position, time rate of RPE change, probability density function distribution and dimensionless parameter 2＂, from the perspectives of resolution, viscosity, Horizontal Grid Reynolds Number （HGRN）, Rea, and momentum transmission scheme, using two ideal cases, overflow and baroclinic eddy channel, we qualitatively analyze the simulation results by comparison with the three non-isopycnal models in Ilicak et al. （2012）, i.e., MITocM, MOM, and ROMS. The results show that the spurious dianeutral mixing in the MPAS-Ocean increases over time. The spurious dianeutral transport is proportional to the HGRN directly and is reduced by increasing the lateral viscosity or using a finer resolution to control HGRN. When the HGRN is less than 10, spurious transport is reduced significantly. When using the proper viscosity closure, MPAS-Ocean performs better than MIT6c and MOM, closely to ROMS, in the 2D case without rotation, and much better than the above-mentioned three ocean models under the condition of 3D space with rotation due to the cell area difference between the hexa- gon cell and the quadrilateral cell with the same resolution. Both the Zalesak （1979） flux corrected transport scheme and Leith closure in MPAS-Ocean play an excellent role in reducing spurious dianeutral mixing. The performance of Leith scheme is preferable to the condition of three-dimensional baroclinic eddy.展开更多

Two methods have been given to extract target from overlapped high-resolution range profile and analyzed to show how spurious peaks appear. This paper provides a reverse-count algorithm to resolve the problem of spurious peaks for moving target. This proposed method selects the peak with maximum amplitude as the extracted target and gets its position by using the number of samples prceding before the present sample position and the number of high-resolution range cell of the target. This proposed method is compared with the already given method and the result shows the ability of the proposed method to remove spurious peaks, it provides the foundation for high-resolution range profile.展开更多

Recently, it has been advanced that this phenomenon is due to a mistreatment of short-range autocorrelation in the residuals of the regression when at least one of the variables in a bivariate regression is stationary. HAC errors, feasible GLS and Cochrane-Orcutt-type procedures are then proposed to draw correct inference. Such a proposal should be cautiously considered, since nonsense inference might also be due to deterministic trend mechanisms, structural breaks, and long range dependence. In these cases, standard autocorrelation correction procedures would not solve the problem of spurious regression. We aim to make the later argument clear.展开更多

文摘Spurious forces are a significant challenge for multi-scale methods,e.g.,the coupled atomistic/discrete dislocation(CADD)method.The assumption of isotropic matter in the continuum domain is a critical factor leading to such forces.This study aims to minimize spurious forces,ensuring that atomic dislocations experience more precise forces from the continuum domain.The authors have already implemented this idea using a simplified and unrealistic slipping system.To create a comprehensive and realistic model,this paper considers all possible slip systems in the face center cubic(FCC)lattice structure,and derives the required relationships for the displacement fields.An anisotropic version of the three-dimensional CADD(CADD3D)method is presented,which generates the anisotropic displacement fields for the partial dislocations in all the twelve slip systems of the FCC lattice structure.These displacement fields are tested for the most probable slip systems of aluminum,nickel,and copper with different anisotropic levels.Implementing these anisotropic displacement fields significantly reduces the spurious forces on the slip systems of FCC materials.This improvement is particularly pronounced at greater distances from the interface and in more anisotropic materials.Furthermore,the anisotropic CADD3D method enhances the spurious stress difference between the slip systems,particularly for materials with higher anisotropy.

文摘Recent years have witnessed the great success of self-supervised learning(SSL)in recommendation systems.However,SSL recommender models are likely to suffer from spurious correlations,leading to poor generalization.To mitigate spurious correlations,existing work usually pursues ID-based SSL recommendation or utilizes feature engineering to identify spurious features.Nevertheless,ID-based SSL approaches sacrifice the positive impact of invariant features,while feature engineering methods require high-cost human labeling.To address the problems,we aim to automatically mitigate the effect of spurious correlations.This objective requires to 1)automatically mask spurious features without supervision,and 2)block the negative effect transmission from spurious features to other features during SSL.To handle the two challenges,we propose an invariant feature learning framework,which first divides user-item interactions into multiple environments with distribution shifts and then learns a feature mask mechanism to capture invariant features across environments.Based on the mask mechanism,we can remove the spurious features for robust predictions and block the negative effect transmission via mask-guided feature augmentation.Extensive experiments on two datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in mitigating spurious correlations and improving the generalization abilities of SSL models.
文摘The effects of alternating current poling(ACP)at 80℃on electrical properties of[001]-oriented 0.72 Pb(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3)-0.28PbTiO_(3)(PMN-28PT)single crystals(SCs)have been investigated.The square-wave ACP SCs poled at high voltage(HV,5 kV_(rms)/cm)occasionally showed large fluctuations and low opposite values of piezoelectric coefficient(d_(33)=±1370 pC/N)in one plate.This revealed spuriousmode vibrations(SMV)of impedance spectrum.However,after depolarizing and repolarizing the sample with a sine-wave ACP at low voltage(LV,3.5 kV_(rms)/cm),the d_(33) enhanced to be 1720 pC/N(+26%)and did not exhibit large fluctuation or opposite values in one plate any more.The impedance spectrum became clean and the abnormal SMV disappeared.We proposed four possible mechanisms of the SMV,and speculate that the main cause maybe by macro-scale sub-domain structure and/or phase change in the main domain structure and/or phase in the SC plate due to the specific poling conditions not eternal mechanical damage of PMN-PT SCs.This study will be useful to realize a high d_(33) and improve other properties of PMN-PT ACP SC ultrasonic transducers without any SMV for high-frequency medical imaging equipment.

文摘This paper deals with the relationship between asymptotic behavior of the numerical solution and that of the true solution itself for fixed step-sizes. The numerical solution is viewed as a dynamical system in which the step-size acts as a parameter. We present a unified approach to look for bifurcations from the steady solutions into spurious solutions as step-size varies.
文摘In this paper we analyze a long standing problem of the appearance of spurious,non-physical solutions arising in the application of the effective mass theory to low dimensional nanostructures.The theory results in a system of coupled eigenvalue PDEs that is usually supplemented by interface boundary conditions that can be derived from a variational formulation of the problem.We analyze such a system for the envelope functions and show that a failure to restrict their Fourier expansion coeffi-cients to small k components would lead to the appearance of non-physical solutions.We survey the existing methodologies to eliminate this difficulty and propose a simple and effective solution.This solution is demonstrated on an example of a two-band model for both bulk materials and low-dimensional nanostructures.Finally,based on the above requirement of small k,we derive a model for nanostructures with cylindrical symmetry and apply the developed model to the analysis of quantum dots using an eight-band model.
