Selective neural network ensemble is an effective way to enhance the generalization accuracy of networks, but there are some problems, e.g., lacking of unified definition of diversity among component neural networks and difficult to improve the accuracy by selecting if the diversities of available networks are small. In this study, the output errors of networks are vectorized, the diversity of networks is defined based on the error vectors, and the size of ensemble is analyzed. Then an error vectorization based selective neural network ensemble (EVSNE) is proposed, in which the error vector of each network can offset that of the other networks by training the component networks orderly. Thus the component networks have large diversity. Experiments and comparisons over standard data sets and actual chemical process data set for production of high-density polyethylene demonstrate that EVSNE performs better in generalization ability.展开更多

However present techniques and tools cannot fully replace traditional pencil and paper. Additionally, vector representation of an image is not always available. There is not yet a good solution for vectorizing a picture drawn on a paper. This work attempts to solve the problem of vectorizing grayscale line drawings. The solution proposed uses Disk B-Spline curves to represent strokes of an image in vector form. The algorithm builds a vector representation from a grayscale raster image, which can be a scanned picture for instance. The proposed method uses a Gaussian sliding window to calculate skeleton and perceptive width of a stroke. As a result of vectorization, the given image is represented by a set of Disk B-Spline curves.展开更多

文摘Landslide susceptibility prediction(LSP)is significantly affected by the uncertainty issue of landslide related conditioning factor selection.However,most of literature only performs comparative studies on a certain conditioning factor selection method rather than systematically study this uncertainty issue.Targeted,this study aims to systematically explore the influence rules of various commonly used conditioning factor selection methods on LSP,and on this basis to innovatively propose a principle with universal application for optimal selection of conditioning factors.An'yuan County in southern China is taken as example considering 431 landslides and 29 types of conditioning factors.Five commonly used factor selection methods,namely,the correlation analysis(CA),linear regression(LR),principal component analysis(PCA),rough set(RS)and artificial neural network(ANN),are applied to select the optimal factor combinations from the original 29 conditioning factors.The factor selection results are then used as inputs of four types of common machine learning models to construct 20 types of combined models,such as CA-multilayer perceptron,CA-random forest.Additionally,multifactor-based multilayer perceptron random forest models that selecting conditioning factors based on the proposed principle of“accurate data,rich types,clear significance,feasible operation and avoiding duplication”are constructed for comparisons.Finally,the LSP uncertainties are evaluated by the accuracy,susceptibility index distribution,etc.Results show that:(1)multifactor-based models have generally higher LSP performance and lower uncertainties than those of factors selection-based models;(2)Influence degree of different machine learning on LSP accuracy is greater than that of different factor selection methods.Conclusively,the above commonly used conditioning factor selection methods are not ideal for improving LSP performance and may complicate the LSP processes.In contrast,a satisfied combination of conditioning factors can be constructed according to the proposed principle.

文摘In engineering practice,it is often necessary to determine functional relationships between dependent and independent variables.These relationships can be highly nonlinear,and classical regression approaches cannot always provide sufficiently reliable solutions.Nevertheless,Machine Learning(ML)techniques,which offer advanced regression tools to address complicated engineering issues,have been developed and widely explored.This study investigates the selected ML techniques to evaluate their suitability for application in the hot deformation behavior of metallic materials.The ML-based regression methods of Artificial Neural Networks(ANNs),Support Vector Machine(SVM),Decision Tree Regression(DTR),and Gaussian Process Regression(GPR)are applied to mathematically describe hot flow stress curve datasets acquired experimentally for a medium-carbon steel.Although the GPR method has not been used for such a regression task before,the results showed that its performance is the most favorable and practically unrivaled;neither the ANN method nor the other studied ML techniques provide such precise results of the solved regression analysis.

The proposed method uses a Gaussian sliding window to calculate skeleton and perceptive width of a stroke. As a result of vectorization, the given image is represented by a set of Disk B-Spline curves.

文摘Thrust-vectoring capability has become a critical feature for propulsion systems as space missions move from static to dynamic.Thrust-vectoring is a well-developed area of rocket engine science.For electric propulsion,however,it is an evolving field that has taken a new leap forward in recent years.A review and analysis of thrust-vectoring schemes for electric propulsion systems have been conducted.The scope of this review includes thrust-vectoring schemes that can be implemented for electrostatic,electromagnetic,and beam-driven thrusters.A classification of electric propulsion schemes that provide thrust-vectoring capability is developed.More attention is given to schemes implemented in laboratory prototypes and flight models.The final part is devoted to a discussion on the suitability of different electric propulsion systems with thrust-vectoring capability for modern space mission operations.The thrust-vectoring capability of electric propulsion is necessary for inner and outer space satellites,which are at a disadvantage with conventional unidirectional propulsion systems due to their limited maneuverability.

文摘To enhance network security,this study employs a deep graph matching model for vulnerability similarity detection.The model utilizes a Word Embedding layer to vectorize data words,an Image Embedding layer to vectorize data graphs,and an LSTM layer to extract the associations between word and graph vectors.A Dropout layer is applied to randomly deactivate neurons in the LSTM layer,while a Softmax layer maps the LSTM analysis results.Finally,a fully connected layer outputs the detection results with a dimension of 1.Experimental results demonstrate that the AUC of the deep graph matching vulnerability similarity detection model is 0.9721,indicating good stability.The similarity scores for vulnerabilities such as memory leaks,buffer overflows,and targeted attacks are close to 1,showing significant similarity.In contrast,the similarity scores for vulnerabilities like out-of-bounds memory access and logical design flaws are less than 0.4,indicating good similarity detection performance.The model’s evaluation metrics are all above 97%,with high detection accuracy,which is beneficial for improving network security.

文摘Vector winds play a crucial role in weather and climate,as well as the effective utilization of wind energy resources.However,limited research has been conducted on treating the wind field as a vector field in the evaluation of numerical weather prediction models.In this study,the authors treat vector winds as a whole by employing a vector field evaluation method,and evaluate the mesoscale model of the China Meteorological Administration(CMA-MESO)and ECMWF forecast,with reference to ERA5 reanalysis,in terms of multiple aspects of vector winds over eastern China in 2022.The results show that the ECMWF forecast is superior to CMA-MESO in predicting the spatial distribution and intensity of 10-m vector winds.Both models overestimate the wind speed in East China,and CMA-MESO overestimates the wind speed to a greater extent.The forecasting skill of the vector wind field in both models decreases with increasing lead time.The forecasting skill of CMA-MESO fluctuates more and decreases faster than that of the ECMWF forecast.There is a significant negative correlation between the model vector wind forecasting skill and terrain height.This study provides a scientific evaluation of the local application of vector wind forecasts of the CMA-MESO model and ECMWF forecast.
文摘To enhance direction of arrival(DOA)estimation accuracy,this paper proposes a low-cost method for calibrating farfield steering vectors of large aperture millimeter wave radar(mmWR).To this end,we first derive the steering vectors with amplitude and phase errors,assuming that mmWR works in the time-sharing mode.Then,approximate relationship between the near-field calibration steering vector and the far-field calibration steering vector is analyzed,which is used to accomplish the mapping between the two of them.Finally,simulation results verify that the proposed method can effectively improve the angle measurement accuracy of mmWR with existing amplitude and phase errors.

文摘The development of clinical candidates that modify the natural progression of sporadic Parkinson's disease and related synucleinopathies is a praiseworthy endeavor,but extremely challenging.Therapeutic candidates that were successful in preclinical Parkinson's disease animal models have repeatedly failed when tested in clinical trials.While these failures have many possible explanations,it is perhaps time to recognize that the problem lies with the animal models rather than the putative candidate.In other words,the lack of adequate animal models of Parkinson's disease currently represents the main barrier to preclinical identification of potential disease-modifying therapies likely to succeed in clinical trials.However,this barrier may be overcome by the recent introduction of novel generations of viral vectors coding for different forms of alpha-synuclein species and related genes.Although still facing several limitations,these models have managed to mimic the known neuropathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease with unprecedented accuracy,delineating a more optimistic scenario for the near future.

文摘Mosquitoes(Diptera:Culicidae)are vectors of various pathogens of public health concern,but replacing conventional insecticides remains a challenge.In this regard,natural products represent valuable sources of potential insecticidal compounds,thus increasingly attracting research interest.Commiphora myrrha(T.Nees)Engl.(Burseraceae)is a medicinal plant whose oleo-gum resin is used in food,cosmetics,fragrances,and pharmaceuticals.Herein,the larvicidal potential of its essential oil(EO)was assessed on four mosquito species(Aedes albopictus Skuse,Ae.aegypti L.,Anopheles gambiae Giles and An.stephensi Liston),with LC_(50) values ranging from 4.42 to 16.80 μg/mL.The bio-guided EO fractionation identified furanosesquiterpenes as the main larvicidal compounds.A GC-MS-driven untargeted metabolomic analysis revealed 32 affected metabolic pathways in treated larvae.The EO non-target toxicity on Daphnia magna Straus(LC_(50)=4.51 μL/L)and its cytotoxicity on a human kidney cell line(HEK293)(IC50 of 14.38 μg/mL)were also assessed.This study shows the potential of plant products as innovative insecticidal agents and lays the ground-work for the possible exploitation of C.myrrha EO in the sustainable approaches for mosquito management.
