The capture of NH 3 molecules by a water cluster produces an increase in the integrated intensity of IR absorbance, substantially decreases emission power in the frequency range of 0≤ω≤3500cm-1,and transforms a continuous reflectance spectrum into a banded one.

The ozone molecules as well as the bromine ions do not leave the cluster during the calculation of 25 ps. The ability of the cluster containing molecular oxygen to absorb the infrared （IR） radiation is reduced in the frequency range of 0≤ w ≤ 3500 cm-1 when the number of the bromine ions in the cluster grows. The intensity of the Raman spectrum is not changed significantly when the Brions are added to the ozone- containing system. The power of the emitted IR radiation is increased when the number of bromine ions grows in the oxygen-containing system. The data obtained in this study on the IR and the Raman spectra of the water clusters that contain ozone, oxygen, and Br- can be used to develop an investigation of the mechanisms of ozone depletion.展开更多

The atomic scale modeling is carried on by both Molecular Dynamics and Metropolis Monte Carlo. This represents a huge series of simulations (175 cases) to which further calculations are added by spot when finer tuning of the parameters is necessary. Analyzing the results is a major task which is still in progress. This way, not only a realistic range of sizes is covered, but also the whole range of compositions and the temperature range relevant to the solid and the liquid states.展开更多

This represents a huge series of simulations (175 cases) to which further calculations are added by spot when finer tuning of the parameters is necessary. Analyzing the results is a major task which is still in progress. This way, not only a realistic range of sizes is covered, but also the whole range of compositions and the temperature range relevant to the solid and the liquid states.

文摘Multi-view clustering is a critical research area in computer science aimed at effectively extracting meaningful patterns from complex,high-dimensional data that single-view methods cannot capture.Traditional fuzzy clustering techniques,such as Fuzzy C-Means(FCM),face significant challenges in handling uncertainty and the dependencies between different views.To overcome these limitations,we introduce a new multi-view fuzzy clustering approach that integrates picture fuzzy sets with a dual-anchor graph method for multi-view data,aiming to enhance clustering accuracy and robustness,termed Multi-view Picture Fuzzy Clustering(MPFC).In particular,the picture fuzzy set theory extends the capability to represent uncertainty by modeling three membership levels:membership degrees,neutral degrees,and refusal degrees.This allows for a more flexible representation of uncertain and conflicting data than traditional fuzzy models.Meanwhile,dual-anchor graphs exploit the similarity relationships between data points and integrate information across views.This combination improves stability,scalability,and robustness when handling noisy and heterogeneous data.Experimental results on several benchmark datasets demonstrate significant improvements in clustering accuracy and efficiency,outperforming traditional methods.Specifically,the MPFC algorithm demonstrates outstanding clustering performance on a variety of datasets,attaining a Purity(PUR)score of 0.6440 and an Accuracy(ACC)score of 0.6213 for the 3 Sources dataset,underscoring its robustness and efficiency.The proposed approach significantly contributes to fields such as pattern recognition,multi-view relational data analysis,and large-scale clustering problems.Future work will focus on extending the method for semi-supervised multi-view clustering,aiming to enhance adaptability,scalability,and performance in real-world applications.

文摘Federated learning is a machine learning framework designed to protect privacy by keeping training data on clients’devices without sharing private data.It trains a global model through collaboration between clients and the server.However,the presence of data heterogeneity can lead to inefficient model training and even reduce the final model’s accuracy and generalization capability.Meanwhile,data scarcity can result in suboptimal cluster distributions for few-shot clients in centralized clustering tasks,and standalone personalization tasks may cause severe overfitting issues.To address these limitations,we introduce a federated learning dual optimization model based on clustering and personalization strategy(FedCPS).FedCPS adopts a decentralized approach,where clients identify their cluster membership locally without relying on a centralized clustering algorithm.Building on this,FedCPS introduces personalized training tasks locally,adding a regularization term to control deviations between local and cluster models.This improves the generalization ability of the final model while mitigating overfitting.The use of weight-sharing techniques also reduces the computational cost of central machines.Experimental results on MNIST,FMNIST,CIFAR10,and CIFAR100 datasets demonstrate that our method achieves better personalization effects compared to other personalized federated learning methods,with an average test accuracy improvement of 0.81%–2.96%.Meanwhile,we adjusted the proportion of few-shot clients to evaluate the impact on accuracy across different methods.The experiments show that FedCPS reduces accuracy by only 0.2%–3.7%,compared to 2.1%–10%for existing methods.Our method demonstrates its advantages across diverse data environments.

文摘Objectives To identify core symptoms and symptom clusters in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder(NMOSD)by network analysis.Methods From October 10 to 30,2023,140 patients with NMOSD were selected to participate in this online questionnaire survey.The survey tools included a general information questionnaire and a self-made NMOSD symptoms scale,which included the prevalence,severity,and distress of 29 symptoms.Cluster analysis was used to identify symptom clusters,and network analysis was used to analyze the symptom network and node characteristics and central indicators including strength centrality(r_(s)),closeness centrality(r_(c))and betweeness centrality(r_(b))were used to identify core symptoms and symptom clusters.Results The most common symptom was pain(65.7%),followed by paraesthesia(65.0%),fatigue(65.0%),easy awakening(63.6%).Regarding the burden level of symptoms,pain was the most burdensome symptom,followed by paraesthesia,easy awakening,fatigue,and difficulty falling asleep.Six clusters were identified:somatosensory,motor,visual,and memory symptom clusters,bladder and rectum symptom clusters,sleep symptoms clusters,and neuropsychological symptom clusters.Fatigue(r_(s)=12.39,r_(b)=68.00,r_(c)=0.02)was the most central and prominent bridge symptom,and motor symptom cluster(r_(s)=2.68,r_(c)=0.10)was the most central symptom cluster among the six clusters.Conclusions Our study demonstrated the necessity of symptom management targeting fatigue,pain,and motor symptom cluster in patients with NMOSD.

文摘Many fields,such as neuroscience,are experiencing the vast prolife ration of cellular data,underscoring the need fo r organizing and interpreting large datasets.A popular approach partitions data into manageable subsets via hierarchical clustering,but objective methods to determine the appropriate classification granularity are missing.We recently introduced a technique to systematically identify when to stop subdividing clusters based on the fundamental principle that cells must differ more between than within clusters.Here we present the corresponding protocol to classify cellular datasets by combining datadriven unsupervised hierarchical clustering with statistical testing.These general-purpose functions are applicable to any cellular dataset that can be organized as two-dimensional matrices of numerical values,including molecula r,physiological,and anatomical datasets.We demonstrate the protocol using cellular data from the Janelia MouseLight project to chara cterize morphological aspects of neurons.

文摘By systematically reviewing the development status of global carbon dioxide capture,utilization and storage(CCUS)cluster,and comparing domestic and international CCUS industrial models and successful experiences,this study explores the challenges and strategies for the scaled development of the CCUS industry of China.Globally,the CCUS industry has entered a phase of scaled and clustered development.North America has established a system of key technologies in large-scale CO_(2) capture,long-distance pipeline transmission,pipeline network optimization,and large-scale CO_(2) flooding for enhanced oil recovery(CO_(2)-EOR),with relatively mature cluster development and a gradual shift in industrial model from CO_(2)-EOR to geological storage.The CCUS industry of China has developed rapidly across all segments but remains in the early stage of cluster development,facing challenges such as absent business model,insufficient policy support,and technological gaps in core areas.China needs to improve the policy support system to boost enterprises participation across the entire industrial chain,strengthen top-level design and medium-to long-term planning to accelerate demonstration projects construction for whole-process CCUS clusters,advance for a full-chain technological system,including low-cost capture,pipeline optimization and EOR/storage integration technologies,and strengthen personnel training,strengthen discipline construction and university-enterprise research cooperation.

文摘Thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)materials driven by a through-space charge transfer(TSCT)mechanism have garnered wide interest.However,access of TSCT-TADF molecules with longwavelength emission remains a formidable challenge.In this study,we introduce a novel V-type DA-D-A’emitter,Trz-mCzCbCz,by using a carborane scaffold.This design strategically incorporates carbazole(Cz)and 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine(Trz)as donor and acceptor moieties,respectively.Theoretical calculations alongside experimental validations affirm the typical TSCT-TADF characteristics of this luminogen.Owing to the unique structural and electronic attributes of carboranes,Trz-mCzCbCz exhibits an orange-red emission,markedly diverging from the traditional blue-to-green emissions observed in classical Cz and Trz-based TADF molecules.Moreover,bright emission in aggregates was observed for Trz-mCzCbCz with absolute photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)of up to 88.8%.As such,we have successfully fabricated five organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)by utilizing Trz-mCzCbCz as the emitting layer.It is important to note that both the reverse intersystem crossing process and the TADF properties are profoundly influenced by host materials.The fabricated OLED devices reached a maximum external quantum efficiency(EQE)of 12.7%,with an emission peak at 592 nm.This represents the highest recorded efficiency for TSCT-TADF OLEDs employing carborane derivatives as emitting layers.

文摘For multi-vehicle networks,Cooperative Positioning(CP)technique has become a promising way to enhance vehicle positioning accuracy.Especially,the CP performance could be further improved by introducing Sensor-Rich Vehicles(SRVs)into CP networks,which is called SRV-aided CP.However,the CP system may split into several sub-clusters that cannot be connected with each other in dense urban environments,in which the sub-clusters with few SRVs will suffer from degradation of CP performance.Since Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)have been widely used to aid vehicular communications,we intend to utilize UAVs to assist sub-clusters in CP.In this paper,a UAV-aided CP network is constructed to fully utilize information from SRVs.First,the inter-node connection structure among the UAV and vehicles is designed to share available information from SRVs.After that,the clustering optimization strategy is proposed,in which the UAV cooperates with the high-precision sub-cluster to obtain available information from SRVs,and then broadcasts this positioning-related information to other low-precision sub-clusters.Finally,the Locally-Centralized Factor Graph Optimization(LC-FGO)algorithm is designed to fuse positioning information from cooperators.Simulation results indicate that the positioning accuracy of the CP system could be improved by fully utilizing positioning-related information from SRVs.
