In this paper, we utilize observable time traces to identify the initial quantum state of a closed quantum system, based on the state space approach in the control theory. In the informationally complete scenario, we show that with a linear regression estimation (LRE), the mean squared error (MSE) scales as , where N is the resource number. In the informationally incomplete scenario, we introduce regularization LRE to perform the state tomography task. We employ PBH test to demonstrate that closed quantum systems with only one observable are informationally incomplete and propose using observables, where d is the dimension of the quantum state, for informational completeness. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.展开更多

This paper estimates the optimal number of receiving traces in field geometry using a numerical simulation based on a field test conducted in previous research （Zhu et al., 2011）. A mathematical model is established for total energy and average efficiency energy using fixed trace spacing and optimal receiving traces are estimated. Seismic data acquired in a complex work area are used to verify the correctness of the proposed method. Results of model data calculations and actual data processing show that results are in agreement. This indicates that the proposed method is reasonable, correct, sufficiently scientific, and can be regarded as a novel method for use in seismic geometry design in complex geological regions.展开更多

Station 1 was near Al-Holandee Bridge which was the general carriage way in the center of Al-Nassiriya city, station 2 was 20 km far from the first station, while station 3 was in the beginning of the new branch. This study reveals the Seasonal Variation of Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in both surface waters, sediment and it is related with trace metals nickel and vanadium in water (dissolved, particulate) and sediment (residual and exchangeable) phases. Also, the study shows the relationships between the concentration of Ni and V with Total Organic Carbon (TOC%) in the sediment.展开更多

As a result, formulas and congruences of these traces are obtained in various situations. Recently, Ahlgen proved a uniform relationship for traces of singular moduli by using the relationship of modular forms with the action of Hecke operators. On the basis of these results, we get some interesting divisibilities and congruences identities on traces of singular moduli and Hurwitz-Kronecker class number.展开更多

A new methodology for Sb(III) traces monitoring by solid surface fluorescence is proposed. The metal was complexed with alizarine (Az) as fluorosphore reagent in alcaline medium in presence of the bile salt sodium cholate. To isolate the analyte of matrix constituents, a preconcentration/separation strategy on filter paper was introduced prior to determination step. The solid surface fluorescence was measured λem = 450 nm and λexc = 363 nm using a solid sampler holder. Under optimal conditions, the limits of detection and quantification of proposed methodology were 0.08 and 0.24 μg·L-1, respectively, showing a linear range from 0.24 to 304.4 μg·L-1 with good sensitivity and adequate selectivity. It was applied to the Sb(III) traces determination present in drinking water and beverages samples packaged in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles widely consumed in Argentina. The combination of a preconcentration step on common filter paper and the inherent sensitivity of photoluminescent methods have permitted to achieve sensitivity similar to atomic spectroscopies using a lower price instrument typical in control laboratories. Precision and accuracy were tested with excellent agreement. Results were truenessed by ETAAS with satisfactory concordance.展开更多

Operational variables which have influence on quantitative retention of metal complex have been studied and optimized. At optimal experimental conditions, quantita- tive recovery was reached with a detection limit of 0.662 pg?L–1 and quantification limit of 2.20 pg?L–1. The calibration sensitivity was of 1.22 L?pg–1 for the new methodology with a linear range of 2.20 pg?L–1 to 779 pg?L–1 Zn (II). The tolerance levels of potential interfering ions were studied with good results. Recuperation studies were carried out by standard addition method applied to natural water samples (San Juan, Argentine) without previous treatment. The reproducibility (between-days precision) was also evaluated over 3 days by performing five determinations each day. CV% was 0.37. The performing obtained in sensitivity and selec- tivity thanks to chemofiltration step, converts the proposed methodology in an adequate alternative to con- ventional techniques for Zn (II) traces determination.展开更多

There are several routes to determine the uranium trace content in water in the literature;voltammetry has been systematically employed. In the present study, the chosen chemical determination of uranium traces used the voltammetric method known as AdCSV (adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry). This technique, based on mercury voltammetry, is an adequate methodology to determine uranium traces. The chloranilic acid [CAA] (2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzo-quinone) is indicated as chelating agent. The redox reaction of UO2+2?with CAA is sensitive in the range of 2 2(CAA)2] reduction potential. In this work, we present the uranium trace results for IEA-R1 reactor water, sampled after an operation routine shutdown. The uranium trace determination for IEA-R1 pool water showed content around 1 μg/L [U] with statistical significance. Therefore the IEA-R1-reactor-water purification showed to be adequate and safe.展开更多

Biological samples were tested using commercial reagent strips and clinical parameters. Al(III) was determined complexing with QZ followed by a solid phase extraction step using Nylon membranes as a solid support. The analyte was subsequently quantified by solid surface fluorescence (SSF, λem= 573, λexc= 490) with a detection limit of 0.88 μg L-1 and quantification limit of 2.69 μg L-1. The calibration curve was linear from 2.69 to 499.13 μg L-1 Al(III) (R2 = 0.9973). Urine samples were successfully analysed with an average recovery close to 100%. Solid phase extraction step showed efficacy to eliminate foreign ions and the highly fluorescent matrix own of urine. Results were validated by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) with an adequate concordance. The new methodology has low operation cost with simple instrumentation and without organic solvent.展开更多

In order to reveal the grain-scale stress field and geometrically necessary dislocation（GND） density distribution around the slip traces and phase boundaries where the slip lines are blocked due to Burgers orientation relationship（OR） missing. We experimentally investigated tensile deformation on TA15 titanium alloy up to 2.0% strain at room temperature. The slip traces were observed and identified using high resolution scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and electron backscatter diffraction（EBSD） measurements. The grain-scale stress fields around the slip traces and phase boundaries were calculated by the cross-correlationbased method. Based on strain gradient theories, the density of GND was calculated and analyzed. The results indicate that the grain-scale stress is significantly concentrated at phase/grain boundaries and slip traces. Although there is an obvious GND accumulation in the vicinity of phase and subgrain boundaries, no GND density accumulation appears near the slip traces.展开更多

At a topological level, the behavioral diversity and complexity indicated by metazoan traces have remained quite stable since the Early Cambrian. Dramatic changes of these traits took place in the Neoproterozoic, in which 75% (12/16) of the topoichnotaxa and all nine basic topological configurations of metazoan traces occurred, but the most complex and highest level topological configuration occurred in the Early Cambrian of the coelomate animal explosive evolution, showing that in the Neoproterozoic and Early Cambrian gestated not only the Ediacarian fauna and all the basic types of multi cellular animals known today, but also all the basic and the most complex metazoan traces through geological time.展开更多

A total of 36 soil samples were collected both during off-season agriculture and pluvial agriculture from April to October 2022. The samples were analyzed for trace metals according to the standard methods of the US EPA 2007 with a microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometer (MP-AES), Agilent Model 4210. The pollution level was assessed using contamination factor (Cf) and modified contamination degree (mCd). During the off-season, the concentration of trace metals followed in descending order as Mn > Cr > Cu > Pb > Zn. As, Cd, Co, Hg, Ni, Sb and Se were below the detectable limits. In pluvial season, the concentration of traces of metal follows the order Mn > Cr > Zn > Cu > Ni > Pb > Hg > As. Cd, Co, Sb and Se remain below the detectable limits. The concentrations of Cr, Mn and Zn were lower in the off-season agriculture than in pluvial agriculture. For Cu and Pb, the concentrations were higher in the off-season than in pluvial agriculture. The Cf ranges from 0.24 to 11.70 depending on the considered trace metal. The Cf values of As, Ni, Pb, Zn and Mn indicated that the agricultural study soil was lowery contaminated by these trace metals. The agricultural study soil was moderately contaminated by Cr and Cu, and highly contaminated by Hg. Globally the agricultural study soil presents a moderate degree of contamination (mCd 2.25) by the eight trace metals studied. This result provides information on understanding the risks of trace metal contamination of agricultural soil. It is important to anticipate the control of soil contamination through regular monitoring of toxic metals in agricultural soils, control the quality of chemicals used in agriculture and regulate their use.展开更多

An agent uses a multi-agent system to cooperate with other agents to accomplish the given task, and one agent′s behavior usually affects the others′ behaviors. In traditional reinforcement learning, one agent takes the others location, so it is difficult to consider the others′ behavior, which decreases the learning efficiency. This paper proposes multi-agent reinforcement learning with cooperation based on eligibility traces, i.e. one agent estimates the other agent′s behavior with the other agent′s eligibility traces. The results of this simulation prove the validity of the proposed learning method.展开更多

This work focuses on predicting human mobility from discovering patterns of in the number of passenger pick-ups quantity （PUQ） from urban hotspots. This paper proposes an improved ARIMA based prediction method to forecast the spatial-temporal variation of passengers in a hotspot. Evaluation with a large-scale real- world data set of 4 000 taxis＇ GPS traces over one year shows a prediction error of only 5.8%. We also explore the applica- tion of the pl^di^fioti approach to help drivers find their next passetlgerS, The sinatllation results using historical real-world data demonstrate that, with our guidance, drivers can reduce the time taken and distance travelled, to find their next pas- senger＋ by 37.1% and 6.4% respectively,展开更多

This paper proposes multi-agent reinforcement learning with cooperation based on eligibility traces, i.e. one agent estimates the other agent′s behavior with the other agent′s eligibility traces. The results of this simulation prove the validity of the proposed learning method.
文摘In this paper we derive some inequalities for traces and singular values of the quaternion matrices,extend and improve some of the corresponding results appeared in other papers we know.
文摘Generative AI severs the link between polished products and genuine learning,exposing the limits of outcome-only assessment.This paper advances a socio-technical framework for Al-enabled process-based assessment(PBA)that reframes evaluation as continuous diagnosis embedded in learning.A five-stage pipeline-task→trace→model→feedback→validation-aligns pedagogical intent with instrumentation of interaction,dis-course,and multimodal evidence,and treats the human Al pair as the unit of analysis within a distributed cognition perspective.Methodologically,the framework maps trace types to appropriate model families(e.g.,sequential pattern mining,HMMs,NLP)while requiring explainability so insights are actionable.For practice,it specifies teacher AI orchestration roles that preserve human judgment and defines governance protocols for privacy,fairness,transparency,and cultural responsiveness.The result is a principled route to assess complex problem solving with integrity in the age of generative AI.
文摘This paper investigates human mobility patterns in an urban taxi transportation system. This work focuses on predicting human mobility from discovering patterns of in the number of passenger pick-ups quantity （PUQ） from urban hotspots. This paper proposes an improved ARIMA based prediction method to forecast the spatial-temporal variation of passengers in a hotspot. Evaluation with a large-scale real- world data set of 4 000 taxis＇ GPS traces over one year shows a prediction error of only 5.8%. We also explore the applica- tion of the pl^di^fioti approach to help drivers find their next passetlgerS, The sinatllation results using historical real-world data demonstrate that, with our guidance, drivers can reduce the time taken and distance travelled, to find their next pas- senger＋ by 37.1% and 6.4% respectively,
