The contextualized histograms were extracted fromtwo widely used descriptors—the local binary pattern（ LBP） and weber local descriptor（ WLD）. The LBP and WLD feature histograms were extracted separately fromeach facial image,and contextualized histogram was generated as feature vectors to feed the classifier. In addition,the human face was divided into sub-blocks and each sub-block was assigned different weights by their different contributions to the intensity of facial expressions to improve the recognition rate. With the support vector machine（SVM） as classifier,the experimental results on the 2D texture images fromthe 3D-BU FE dataset indicated that contextualized histograms improved facial expression recognition performance when local features were employed.展开更多

They show an asymmetric outside eclipse, and we try to use a spot model to explain the phenomenon. Using the Wilson-Devinney program with a one-spot or two-spot model, photometric solutions of the system and starspot parameters were derived. Comparing the two results shows that the case of two spots is more successful in reproducing light-curve distortions. Looking at all the spot longitudes, the trend is towards active longitude belts and each active longitude belt may switch. Comparing the light curves from 2009 and 2010, we can see that the light curve changes over the long time scale of a year, especially in phase 0.25. In addition, we also collected the values of the maximum amplitudes of photometric distortion of the short-period RS CVn binary. We found for the first time that there is a trend of increasing activity with decreasing orbital period. Finally, fitting all available light minimum times including our newly obtained ones with a polynomial function confirmed that the orbital period of V1034 Her increased.展开更多

文摘Federated learning(FL)is an intricate and privacy-preserving technique that enables distributed mobile devices to collaboratively train a machine learning model.However,in real-world FL scenarios,the training performance is affected by a combination of factors such as the mobility of user devices,limited communication and computational resources,thus making the user scheduling problem crucial.To tackle this problem,we jointly consider the user mobility,communication and computational capacities,and develop a stochastic optimization problem to minimize the convergence time.Specifically,we first establish a convergence bound on the training performance based on the heterogeneity of users’data,and then leverage this bound to derive the participation rate for each user.After deriving the user-specific participation rate,we aim to minimize the training latency by optimizing user scheduling under the constraints of the energy consumption and participation rate.Afterward,we transform this optimization problem to the contextual multi-armed bandit framework based on the Lyapunov method and solve it with the submodular reward enhanced linear upper confidence bound(SR-linUCB)algorithm.Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed algorithm on the training performance and time consumption compared with stateof-the-art algorithms for both independent and identically distributed(IID)and non-IID settings.
文摘Al-Wardat's method is used in this research to analyze the two components of the HD 25811 binary system,which combines the results of speckle interferometry with the astrometric data to construct the synthetic spectral energy distribution of the system.The method results in the effective temperatures at 7100±50 K for component A and 7000±50 K for component B,while their masses measure as 1.65±0.15M_(⊙)for component A and1.58±0.14M_(⊙)for component B.The system exists at an estimated age of 0.794 Gyr,while both stars remain in their initial subgiant evolutionary phase.The evolutionary tracks together with isochrones for Z=0.03 validate that the system components share both their origin and chemical compositions.The orbital analysis shows that the system has a period of 15.97 yr and an eccentricity of 0.713,while the total system mass amounts to3.65±0.49 M_(⊙).We detailedly analyze the system's orbital dynamics to assess planetary stability and habitability zones,which lead to the dynamics of circumbinary(P-type)and circumstellar(S-type)orbits using empirical criteria,revealing large regions in which planetary orbits remain dynamically stable.Luminosities and effective temperatures of each stellar component are used to determine their habitable zones.

文摘Despite many attempts,the origin of UV emission line and continuum in contact binary stars remains unclear.We present a substantial UV spectroscopic analysis of VW Cephei,a late-type contact binary system,using 46 lowresolution spectra from the International Ultraviolet Explorer in the wavelength range 1150-1978À.By modeling continuum and emissions lines in individual spectra,we report the significant detection of O Ⅲ](1660 and 1666À)and Si Ⅳ(1393 and 1402À)line complexes.We observe that UV fluxes for both continuum and emission lines like C Ⅳ,O Ⅲ],C Ⅱ and Si Ⅳ vary significantly(fractional rms variability up to 45%)from hours to years.In addition,line widths also change by hundreds of km s^(-1).The UV flux variabilities observed in the continuum bands and line emissions are uncorrelated.However,most of the flux values follow the binary orbital period observed from optical data.Our analysis indicates that,while the variation in continuum flux may be attributed to a heated photosphere,the line width measurements indicate that the emission lines are likely formed in the dynamical clouds associated with Roche lobe overflow.We estimate the mass transfer rate of M=(0.82±0.01)×10^(-7)M_(⊙)yr^(-1)from UV line fluxes,which is in good agreement with optical studies.

文摘High-temperature performance of energy storage dielectric polymers is desired for many electronics and electrical applications,but the trade-off between energy density and temperature stability remains fundamentally challenging.Here,we report a general material design strategy to enhance energy storage performance at high temperatures by crosslinking a polar polymer and a high glass-transition temperature polymer as a crosslinked binary blend.Such crosslinked binary polymers display a temperature-insensitive and high energy density behavior of about6.2~8.5 J cm^(-3) up to 110℃,showing a significant enhancement in thermal resistant properties and consequently outperforming most of the other ferroelectric polymers.Further microstructural investigations reveal that the improved thermal stability stems from the confinement effect on conformational motion of the crosslinking network,which is evidenced by the increased rigid amorphous fraction and steady intermolecular distance of amorphous regions from temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction results.Our findings provide a general and straightforward strategy to attain temperature-stable,high-energy-density polymer-based dielectrics for energy storage capacitors.
文摘Background:To investigate the consistency level of binary symptom assessment in patients with heart failure and their primary caregivers,and to analyze the related factors influencing consistency.Methods:By using the convenience sampling method,patients with heart failure and their main caregivers in the Department of Cardiology of a tertiary hospital in Suzhou from May to November 2023 were selected as the research subjects.The HFSS scale was used for data collection.The paired t-test or paired Wilcoxon test was used to evaluate the differences in the binary symptom assessment scores of heart failure.The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to assess the consistency level of the binary symptom assessment.The Pearson correlation test was used to examine the correlation of the binary symptom assessment.Regression analysis was employed to explore the factors related to the consistency assessment.Results:A total of 103 pairs of valid questionnaires were collected.The consistency levels of symptom evaluations in patients with heart failure and their primary caregivers were statistically significant(P<0.05).The most frequently reported and severe symptom by patients with heart failure and their primary caregivers is shortness of breath during activity.Both have a high consensus on the severity and urgency of most heart failure symptoms.The patient’s gender,body mass index,number of children,history of diabetes,number of comorbidities,mean arterial pressure,LVEF,number of stents,whether a defibrillator was implanted,as well as the gender,marital status,education level,relationship with the patient,care time,whether they lived together,and communication and interaction situation of the main caregiver were the influencing factors for the consistency of binary symptom assessment of heart failure(P<0.05).Conclusion:The degree of consistency in binary symptom assessment between patients with heart failure and their primary caregivers was moderate or higher,which emphasizes the importance of including binary groups in clinical assessment.

文摘This study presents a detailed photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the W UMa-type binary NR Cam,using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite(TESS)and ground-based observations.The light curves exhibit significant variable,with a negative correlation between the brightness of the two maxima—a characteristic of W UMa-type binaries typically attributed to magnetic activity.To explain this behavior,we incorporated a starspot model into our Wilson–Devinney analysis.Our results confirm that NR Cam is a W-subtype,moderately contact binary with a low mass ratio of q=5.75(±0.03)and a fill-out factor of f=33.4(±3.1)%.We also analyzed the orbital period variation using all available times of minima.The resulting O−C diagram reveals a long-term decreasing trend in the orbital period at a rate of dP/dt=−5.18(±0.02)×10^(-8) day yr^(-1),superimposed with a periodic oscillation characterized by an amplitude of A_(3)=0.0019(±0.0001)day and an oscillation period of P_(3)=7.776(±0.003)yr.The long-term decrease is likely due to mass transfer between the binary components,with an estimated mass transfer rate of dM_(2)/dt=1.33(±0.01)×10^(-8)M_(⊙)yr^(-1).The periodic oscillations are likely driven by the light-travel time effect caused by a tertiary companion,with a minimum mass of M_(3)=0.0956(1)M_(⊙)and a maximum separation of 3.841(6)au.Additionally,we considered the possibility that the periodic variation could result from changes in the gravitational quadrupole moment due to magnetic activity cycles,as described by the Applegate mechanism.Our findings confirm that NR Cam is an active binary system,where magnetic activity plays a significant role in its orbital evolution.These results contribute to our understanding of the magnetic dynamics and evolutionary processes in contact binary systems.

文摘The primary challenge in weakly supervised semantic segmentation is effectively leveraging weak annotations while minimizing the performance gap compared to fully supervised methods.End-to-end model designs have gained significant attention for improving training efficiency.Most current algorithms rely on Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)for feature extraction.Although CNNs are proficient at capturing local features,they often struggle with global context,leading to incomplete and false Class Activation Mapping(CAM).To address these limitations,this work proposes a Contextual Prototype-Based End-to-End Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation(CPEWS)model,which improves feature extraction by utilizing the Vision Transformer(ViT).By incorporating its intermediate feature layers to preserve semantic information,this work introduces the Intermediate Supervised Module(ISM)to supervise the final layer’s output,reducing boundary ambiguity and mitigating issues related to incomplete activation.Additionally,the Contextual Prototype Module(CPM)generates class-specific prototypes,while the proposed Prototype Discrimination Loss and Superclass Suppression Loss guide the network’s training,(LPDL)(LSSL)effectively addressing false activation without the need for extra supervision.The CPEWS model proposed in this paper achieves state-of-the-art performance in end-to-end weakly supervised semantic segmentation without additional supervision.The validation set and test set Mean Intersection over Union(MIoU)of PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset achieved 69.8%and 72.6%,respectively.Compared with ToCo(pre trained weight ImageNet-1k),MIoU on the test set is 2.1%higher.In addition,MIoU reached 41.4%on the validation set of the MS COCO 2014 dataset.

文摘This work studies the impact of the carbon diffusion on the growth kinetics of austenite and the solute segregation,by utilizing the phase-field(PF)method to simulate the solidification of a Fe-C binary alloy.It is revealed that increasing the ratio of the carbon diffusion coefficient in solid to that in liquid is advantageous in reducing the solute segregation,and a novel microsegregation model is developed based on the quantitative analysis of the results from PF simulations.The simplified one-dimensional diffusion simulation is employed to analyse the quantitative relationship between the parameters of the proposed microsegregation model and the properties of materials.The universality and reliability of the new microsegregation model are then validated by comparing with the experimental data of various alloy systems.These findings contribute to our comprehension of the fundamental theory of solidification and also provide a potential and promising approach to controlling the solidification microstructure.

文摘Thermodynamic cycles are the main approach of energy conversion,which is the main source of carbon emis-sion.The working fluid is the energy carrier of thermodynamic cycles.And refrigerant is widely employed in low and medium grade energy utilization and heating ventilation and air conditioning.The refrigerant mixtures can effectively combine the advantages of their components,which plays a key role in decarbonization.As a basic thermophysical property,critical temperature,T_(c),plays an important role in thermodynamic calculation and thermodynamics system design.In this work,the structure-property relationship models of T_(c) for binary re-frigerants were established by developing predictive models based on 61 binary refrigerants with 275 sets of experimental T_(c) data and six machine learning algorithms.Also,specific halogenated groups of refrigerants are used to characterize the components and molecular structures of binary mixtures.The Multiple-layer Perceptron model owns the best fitting and generalization ability with the average deviation is lower than 2%.Compared with conventional methods,the proposed model does not rely on any experimental property data or empirical parameters,and can accurately predict T_(c) of binary refrigerant mixtures directly from their components and mixing ratios.The present work could be guided in building predictive models for other properties,thereby supporting the development of novel refrigerant mixtures.
