文摘This study aimed to integrate Monte Carlo(MC)simulation with deep learning(DL)-based denoising techniques to achieve fast and accurate prediction of high-quality electronic portal imaging device(EPID)transmission dose(TD)for patientspecific quality assurance(PSQA).A total of 100 lung cases were used to obtain the noisy EPID TD by the ARCHER MC code under four kinds of particle numbers(1×10^(6),1×10^(7),1×10^(8)and 1×10^(9)),and the original EPID TD was denoised by the SUNet neural network.The denoised EPID TD was assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively using the structural similarity(SSIM),peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR),and gamma passing rate(GPR)with respect to 1×10^(9)as a reference.The computation times for both the MC simulation and DL-based denoising were recorded.As the number of particles increased,both the quality of the noisy EPID TD and computation time increased significantly(1×10^(6):1.12 s,1×10^(7):1.72 s,1×10^(8):8.62 s,and 1×10^(9):73.89 s).In contrast,the DL-based denoising time remained at 0.13-0.16 s.The denoised EPID TD shows a smoother visual appearance and profile curves,but differences between 1×10^(6)and 1×10^(9)still remain.SSIM improves from 0.61 to 0.95 for 1×10^(6),0.70 to 0.96 for 1×10^(7),and 0.90 to 0.97 for 1×10^(8).PSNR increases by>20%for 1×10^(6)and 1×10^(7),and>10%for 1×10^(8).GPR improves from 48.47%to 89.10%for 1×10^(6),61.04%to 94.35%for 1×10^(7),and 91.88%to 99.55%for 1×10^(8).The method that combines MC simulation with DL-based denoising for EPID TD generation can accelerate TD prediction and maintain high accuracy,offering a promising solution for efficient PSQA.

文摘Nondestructive measurement technology of phenotype can provide substantial phenotypic data support for applications such as seedling breeding,management,and quality testing.The current method of measuring seedling phenotypes mainly relies on manual measurement which is inefficient,subjective and destroys samples.Therefore,the paper proposes a nondestructive measurement method for the canopy phenotype of the watermelon plug seedlings based on deep learning.The Azure Kinect was used to shoot canopy color images,depth images,and RGB-D images of the watermelon plug seedlings.The Mask-RCNN network was used to classify,segment,and count the canopy leaves of the watermelon plug seedlings.To reduce the error of leaf area measurement caused by mutual occlusion of leaves,the leaves were repaired by CycleGAN,and the depth images were restored by image processing.Then,the Delaunay triangulation was adopted to measure the leaf area in the leaf point cloud.The YOLOX target detection network was used to identify the growing point position of each seedling on the plug tray.Then the depth differences between the growing point and the upper surface of the plug tray were calculated to obtain plant height.The experiment results show that the nondestructive measurement algorithm proposed in this paper achieves good measurement performance for the watermelon plug seedlings from the 1 true-leaf to 3 true-leaf stages.The average relative error of measurement is 2.33%for the number of true leaves,4.59%for the number of cotyledons,8.37%for the leaf area,and 3.27%for the plant height.The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm in this paper provides an effective solution for the nondestructive measurement of the canopy phenotype of the plug seedlings.

文摘Underground engineering projects such as deep tunnel excavation often encounter rockburst disasters accompanied by numerous microseismic events.Rapid interpretation of microseismic signals is crucial for the timely identification of rockbursts.However,conventional processing encompasses multi-step workflows,including classification,denoising,picking,locating,and computational analysis,coupled with manual intervention,which collectively compromise the reliability of early warnings.To address these challenges,this study innovatively proposes the“microseismic stethoscope"-a multi-task machine learning and deep learning model designed for the automated processing of massive microseismic signals.This model efficiently extracts three key parameters that are necessary for recognizing rockburst disasters:rupture location,microseismic energy,and moment magnitude.Specifically,the model extracts raw waveform features from three dedicated sub-networks:a classifier for source zone classification,and two regressors for microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation.This model demonstrates superior efficiency compared to traditional processing and semi-automated processing,reducing per-event processing time from 0.71 s to 0.49 s to merely 0.036 s.It concurrently achieves 98%accuracy in source zone classification,with microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation errors of 0.13 and 0.05,respectively.This model has been well applied and validated in the Daxiagu Tunnel case in Sichuan,China.The application results indicate that the model is as accurate as traditional methods in determining source parameters,and thus can be used to identify potential geomechanical processes of rockburst disasters.By enhancing the signal processing reliability of microseismic events,the proposed model in this study presents a significant advancement in the identification of rockburst disasters.

文摘Human Activity Recognition(HAR)is a novel area for computer vision.It has a great impact on healthcare,smart environments,and surveillance while is able to automatically detect human behavior.It plays a vital role in many applications,such as smart home,healthcare,human computer interaction,sports analysis,and especially,intelligent surveillance.In this paper,we propose a robust and efficient HAR system by leveraging deep learning paradigms,including pre-trained models,CNN architectures,and their average-weighted fusion.However,due to the diversity of human actions and various environmental influences,as well as a lack of data and resources,achieving high recognition accuracy remain elusive.In this work,a weighted average ensemble technique is employed to fuse three deep learning models:EfficientNet,ResNet50,and a custom CNN.The results of this study indicate that using a weighted average ensemble strategy for developing more effective HAR models may be a promising idea for detection and classification of human activities.Experiments by using the benchmark dataset proved that the proposed weighted ensemble approach outperformed existing approaches in terms of accuracy and other key performance measures.The combined average-weighted ensemble of pre-trained and CNN models obtained an accuracy of 98%,compared to 97%,96%,and 95%for the customized CNN,EfficientNet,and ResNet50 models,respectively.

文摘Dynamic disturbances with various frequencies could trigger different failure modes of deep excavations.Superimposed on this static stress are dynamic disturbances due to various dynamic vibrations,e.g.excavation blasting,blasting,tunnel boring machine(TBM)vibration,rockburst wave,earthquakes.Specifically,these dynamic sources are characterized by a wide range of wave frequencies f,resulting in differences in failure modes.A series of true-triaxial compression tests were conducted on granite to simulate the excavation-induced stress path in three-dimensional(3D)stresses.Subsequently,a dynamic disturbance with various frequencies was applied to a cuboid specimen,to reveal the behavior associated with brittle failure.The dynamic disturbance with frequencies f of 5 Hz,10 Hz,and 40 Hz generates less disturbed energy components in the granite together with higher peak strength.However,dynamic disturbances with f of 20 Hz and 30 Hz resulted in a lower peak strength;the peak strength of the rock increases sp albeit it decreases at first,then increases.This U-shaped phenomenon relates to the natural frequency of the granite under such stress conditions.Different rock lithologies consisting of diverse mineral composition,respond differently to each sensitive resonance frequency.Interestingly,the weak disturbance stress with a high frequency f and low amplitude A increases the ratio of crack damage to peak strength(scd/sp)in the granite.This leads to the inhibition of the expansion of the granite during the dynamic disturbance process.Multiple penetrating tensileeshear cracks appear in the s3-direction as the disturbance frequency f increases.

文摘To counteract small sample size,severe class imbalance and high feature redundancy in 90-day mRS prediction after stroke,this study proposes a four-stage pipeline-“ADASYN re-sampling→clinical+statistical feature screening→dimensionality reduction→5-fold cross-validation”-and benchmark composite deep-learning architectures.ADASYN first balances the minority classes in the original feature space.Next,a tri-level filter(clinical domain knowledge,variance threshold,mutual information)removes clinically meaningless or redundant variables,after which PCA compresses the remaining features while preserving critical neurological signatures(e.g.,brain-herniation history).Four hybrid CNN-RNN models are trained and compared under strict 5-fold cross-validation;the optimal ensemble yields stable,clinically interpretable probabilities that can support individualized rehabilitation planning.

文摘Microscopy imaging is fundamental in analyzing bacterial morphology and dynamics,offering critical insights into bacterial physiology and pathogenicity.Image segmentation techniques enable quantitative analysis of bacterial structures,facilitating precise measurement of morphological variations and population behaviors at single-cell resolution.This paper reviews advancements in bacterial image segmentation,emphasizing the shift from traditional thresholding and watershed methods to deep learning-driven approaches.Convolutional neural networks(CNNs),U-Net architectures,and three-dimensional(3D)frameworks excel at segmenting dense biofilms and resolving antibiotic-induced morphological changes.These methods combine automated feature extraction with physics-informed postprocessing.Despite progress,challenges persist in computational efficiency,cross-species generalizability,and integration with multimodal experimental workflows.Future progress will depend on improving model robustness across species and imaging modalities,integrating multimodal data for phenotype-function mapping,and developing standard pipelines that link computational tools with clinical diagnostics.These innovations will expand microbial phenotyping beyond structural analysis,enabling deeper insights into bacterial physiology and ecological interactions.

文摘The implementation of multifunctional application scenarios for mobile terminal devices has increased the energy density requirements of batteries.Increasing the charging voltage can rapidly increase the specific capacity of layered transition metal oxides;however,it also exacerbates the release of lattice oxygen and the contraction of the unit cell.Ternary materials are designed in a secondary particle state to meet the requirements of power battery applications.Therefore,to create ternary materials that can operate under ultrahigh voltages,attention should be given to both surface modification and particle integrity maintenance.By utilizing elemental selenium(Se)with a low melting point,easy sublimation,and multiple variable valence states,deep grain boundary modification was implemented inside the particles.The performance of the cathode material was evaluated through pouch cells,and the improvement mechanism was explored through molecular dynamics simulation calculations.Under the protection of a three-dimensional Se-rich modified layer,LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_(2)achieved stable operation at ultrahigh voltages(4.6 V vs.Li/Li^(+));a sacrificial protection mechanism based on the chronic decomposition of the Se-rich layer was proposed to explain the efficacy of Se modification in stabilizing ternary materials.This deep grain boundary modification based on elemental Se provides a new solution for the ultrahigh-voltage operation of transition metal oxides and provides a scientific basis and technical support for solving the interface contact problem of all-solid-state batteries.
