文摘In this work,we apply tunneling formalism to analyze charged particles tunneling across a hairy black hole horizon.Such black hole solutions are essential for frameworks based on Horndeski's gravity theory.Applying a semi-classical technique,we examine the tunneling of charged particles from a hairy black hole and derive the generic tunneling spectrum of released particles,ignoring self-gravitational and interaction.It is studied to ignore the back-reaction impact of the radiated particle on the hairy black hole.We analyze the properties of the black hole,such as temperature and entropy,under the influence of quantum gravity and also observe that the firstorder correction is present.We study tunneling radiation produced by a charged field equation in the presence of a generalized uncertainty effect.We modify the semi-classical technique by using the generalized uncertainty principle,the WKB approximation,and surface gravity.
文摘The forecast results of temperature based on the intelligent grids of the Central Meteorological Observatory and the meteorological bureau of the autonomous region and the numerical forecast model of the European Center(EC model)from February to December in 2022 were used.Based on the data of the national intelligent grid forecast,the intelligent grid forecast of the regional bureau,EC model,etc.,temperature was predicted.According to the research of the grid point forecast synthesis algorithm with the highest accuracy rate in the recent three days,the temperature grid point correction was conducted in two forms of stations and grids.In order to reduce the deviation caused by the seasonal system temperature difference,a temperature prediction model was established by using the rolling forecast errors of 5,10,15,20,25 and 30 d as the basis data.The verification and evaluation of objective correction results show that the accuracy rate of temperature forecast by the intelligent grid of the regional bureau,the national intelligent grid,and EC model could be increased by 10%,8%,and 12%,respectively.

文摘Accurate short-term forecast of offshore wind fields is still challenging for numerical weather prediction models.Based on three years of 48-hour forecast data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Integrated Forecasting System global model(ECMWF-IFS)over 14 offshore weather stations along the coast of Shandong Province,this study introduces a multi-task learning(MTL)model(TabNet-MTL),which significantly improves the forecast bias of near-surface wind direction and speed simultaneously.TabNet-MTL adopts the feature engineering method,utilizes mean square error as the loss function,and employs the 5-fold cross validation method to ensure the generalization ability of the trained model.It demonstrates superior skills in wind field correction across different forecast lead times over all stations compared to its single-task version(TabNet-STL)and three other popular single-task learning models(Random Forest,LightGBM,and XGBoost).Results show that it significantly reduces root mean square error of the ECMWF-IFS wind speed forecast from 2.20 to 1.25 m s−1,and increases the forecast accuracy of wind direction from 50%to 65%.As an explainable deep learning model,the weather stations and long-term temporal statistics of near-surface wind speed are identified as the most influential variables for TabNet-MTL in constructing its feature engineering.

文摘Background:Lipemia,characterized by elevated triglyceride levels in blood samples,is a prevalent preanalytical interferent in clinical hematology.It leads to erroneous measurements of key complete blood count(CBC)parameters,including falsely elevated hemoglobin(Hgb)and platelet(PLT)counts.These inaccuracies can compromise diagnostic reliability and patient management.Objective:This review systematically evaluates existing correction methods for lipemic interference in CBC analysis,comparing their efficacy,limitations,and applicability in clinical settings.Methods:We analyze saline replacement,formula-based correction,instrument-specific algorithms,and emerging technologies,supported by experimental and clinical validation data.Conclusion:An optimized,context-dependent strategy is proposed,integrating multiple correction approaches based on lipemia severity.Future research directions,including artificial intelligence(AI)-enhanced corrections and standardized protocols,are discussed to advance hematology testing accuracy.
