With these functions, one shows the trajectories on the spaces (x,v) and (x,p) for a linear position depending mass. For the relativistic case, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian cannot be given explicitly in general. However, we study the particular system with constant force and mass linear dependence on the position where the Lagrangian can be found explicitly, but the Hamiltonian remains implicit in the constant of motion.展开更多

However, the synthesis process of nanoparticles limits the range of achievable average panicle sizes. When biocompatible hydroxyapatite nanoparticles （HAP） are doped with the luminescent rare earth elemeat Europium （Eu）, the panicle size becomes larger compared to pure HAP. Hence, a panicle size reduction is necessary to achieve similar experimental conditions when stbstituting pure HAP with luminescent HAP ： Eu nanoparticles to investigate particlecell-interactions in cell culture experiments. While the sedimentation process of particles in liquids and gels has been well described in literature, the separation of particles in dispersed colloids has not been studied, yet. In this study, the size depending separation and particle size redaction of a homogeneous dispersed nanoparticle sol by gravity and centrifugation were investigated. As the results showed, shorter time of centrifugation at higher speed can reduce the average particle size compared to the decline of the panicle concentation in the upper sol layer most efficiently. This ceatrifugation method has some similarity to the overspeeding technique which is commonly used to lower the transient time to reach the equilibrium of sedimentation.展开更多

Moreover, the generalizations of the reaction-diffusion equation for the Gaussian jump length with the probability density function of waiting time being quadratically dependent on the preceding jump length are obtained by applying the derived master equations.展开更多

These parameters are acquired by use of impedance spectroscopy measurements at frequencies ranging from 10 k Hz to 1 MHz and the direct current（DC） bias voltages in a range from-2 V to ＋2 V at room temperature are used. The main electrical parameters and dielectric parameters,such as dielectric constant（ε＂）, dielectric loss（ε＂）, loss tangent（tan δ）, the real and imaginary parts of electric modulus（M and M）, and alternating current（AC） electrical conductivity（σ） are affected by changing voltage and frequency. The characterizations show that some main electrical parameters usually decrease with increasing frequency because charge carriers at surface states have not enough time to fallow an external AC signal at high frequencies, and all dielectric parameters strongly depend on the voltage and frequency especially in the depletion and accumulation regions. Consequently, it can be concluded that interfacial polarization and interface charges can easily follow AC signal at low frequencies.展开更多

Most researchers consider intra-class dependencies to improve localization accuracy. However, some studies show that inter-class method call type faults account for more than 20%, which means such methods still have certain limitations. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a two-phase software fault localization based on relational graph convolutional neural networks (Two-RGCNFL). Firstly, in Phase 1, the method call dependence graph (MCDG) of the program is constructed, the intra-class and inter-class dependencies in MCDG are extracted by using the relational graph convolutional neural network, and the classifier is used to identify the faulty methods. Then, the GraphSMOTE algorithm is improved to alleviate the impact of class imbalance on classification accuracy. Aiming at the problem of parallel ranking of element suspicious values in traditional SBFL technology, in Phase 2, Doc2Vec is used to learn static features, while spectrum information serves as dynamic features. A RankNet model based on siamese multi-layer perceptron is constructed to score and rank statements in the faulty method. This work conducts experiments on 5 real projects of Defects4J benchmark. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional SBFL technique and two baseline methods, our approach improves the Top-1 accuracy by 262.86%, 29.59% and 53.01%, respectively, which verifies the effectiveness of Two-RGCNFL. Furthermore, this work verifies the importance of inter-class dependencies through ablation experiments.展开更多

文摘For a one-dimensional conservative system with position depending mass, one deduces consistently a constant of motion, a Lagrangian, and a Hamiltonian for the nonrelativistic case. With these functions, one shows the trajectories on the spaces (x,v) and (x,p) for a linear position depending mass. For the relativistic case, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian cannot be given explicitly in general. However, we study the particular system with constant force and mass linear dependence on the position where the Lagrangian can be found explicitly, but the Hamiltonian remains implicit in the constant of motion.
文摘The panicle size has a strong impact on the interactions between nanoparticles and cells. However, the synthesis process of nanoparticles limits the range of achievable average panicle sizes. When biocompatible hydroxyapatite nanoparticles （HAP） are doped with the luminescent rare earth elemeat Europium （Eu）, the panicle size becomes larger compared to pure HAP. Hence, a panicle size reduction is necessary to achieve similar experimental conditions when stbstituting pure HAP with luminescent HAP ： Eu nanoparticles to investigate particlecell-interactions in cell culture experiments. While the sedimentation process of particles in liquids and gels has been well described in literature, the separation of particles in dispersed colloids has not been studied, yet. In this study, the size depending separation and particle size redaction of a homogeneous dispersed nanoparticle sol by gravity and centrifugation were investigated. As the results showed, shorter time of centrifugation at higher speed can reduce the average particle size compared to the decline of the panicle concentation in the upper sol layer most efficiently. This ceatrifugation method has some similarity to the overspeeding technique which is commonly used to lower the transient time to reach the equilibrium of sedimentation.

文摘Existing Chinese named entity recognition(NER)research utilises 1D lexicon-based sequence labelling frameworks,which can only recognise flat entities.While lexicons serve as prior knowledge and enhance semantic information,they also pose completeness and resource requirements limitations.This paper proposes a template-based classification(TC)model to avoid lexicon issues and to identify nested entities.Template-based classification provides a template word for each entity type,which utilises contrastive learning to integrate the common characteristics among entities with the same category.Contrastive learning makes template words the centre points of their category in the vector space,thus improving generalisation ability.Additionally,TC presents a 2D tablefilling label scheme that classifies entities based on the attention distribution of template words.The proposed novel decoder algorithm enables TC recognition of both flat and nested entities simultaneously.Experimental results show that TC achieves the state-ofthe-art performance on five Chinese datasets.

文摘Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)is a rapid and effective therapy for major depressive disorder;however,there is significant variability in therapeutic outcomes both within and across individuals,with approximately 50% of patients showing no response to rTMS treatment.Many studies have personalized the stimulation parameters of rTMS(e.g.,location and intensity of stimulation)according to the anatomical and functional structure of the brain.In addition to these parameters,the internal states of the individual,such as circadian rhythm,behavior/cognition,neural oscillation,and neuroplasticity,also contribute to the variation in rTMS effects.In this review,we summarize the current literature on the interaction between rTMS and internal states.We propose two possible methods,multimodal treatment,and adaptive closed-loop treatment,to integrate patients'internal states to achieve better rTMS treatment for depression.

文摘Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) generates a ranked list of suspicious elements by using the program execution spectrum, but the excessive number of elements ranked in parallel results in low localization accuracy. Most researchers consider intra-class dependencies to improve localization accuracy. However, some studies show that inter-class method call type faults account for more than 20%, which means such methods still have certain limitations. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a two-phase software fault localization based on relational graph convolutional neural networks (Two-RGCNFL). Firstly, in Phase 1, the method call dependence graph (MCDG) of the program is constructed, the intra-class and inter-class dependencies in MCDG are extracted by using the relational graph convolutional neural network, and the classifier is used to identify the faulty methods. Then, the GraphSMOTE algorithm is improved to alleviate the impact of class imbalance on classification accuracy. Aiming at the problem of parallel ranking of element suspicious values in traditional SBFL technology, in Phase 2, Doc2Vec is used to learn static features, while spectrum information serves as dynamic features. A RankNet model based on siamese multi-layer perceptron is constructed to score and rank statements in the faulty method. This work conducts experiments on 5 real projects of Defects4J benchmark. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional SBFL technique and two baseline methods, our approach improves the Top-1 accuracy by 262.86%, 29.59% and 53.01%, respectively, which verifies the effectiveness of Two-RGCNFL. Furthermore, this work verifies the importance of inter-class dependencies through ablation experiments.
文摘Distributed Federated Learning(DFL)technology enables participants to cooperatively train a shared model while preserving the privacy of their local datasets,making it a desirable solution for decentralized and privacy-preserving Web3 scenarios.However,DFL faces incentive and security challenges in the decentralized framework.To address these issues,this paper presents a Hierarchical Blockchain-enabled DFL(HBDFL)system,which provides a generic solution framework for the DFL-related applications.The proposed system consists of four major components,including a model contribution-based reward mechanism,a Proof of Elapsed Time and Accuracy(PoETA)consensus algorithm,a Distributed Reputation-based Verification Mechanism(DRTM)and an Accuracy-Dependent Throughput Management(ADTM)mechanism.The model contribution-based rewarding mechanism incentivizes network nodes to train models with their local datasets,while the PoETA consensus algorithm optimizes the tradeoff between the shared model accuracy and system throughput.The DRTM improves the system efficiency in consensus,and the ADTM mechanism guarantees that the throughput performance remains within a predefined range while improving the shared model accuracy.The performance of the proposed HBDFL system is evaluated by numerical simulations,with the results showing that the system improves the accuracy of the shared model while maintaining high throughput and ensuring security.

文摘Radio Frequency Fingerprint Identification(RFFI)technology provides a means of identifying spurious signals.This technology has been widely used in solving Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast(ADS-B)signal spoofing problems.However,the effects of circuit changes over time often lead to a decline in identification accuracy within open-time set.This paper proposes an ADS-B transmitter identification method to solve the degradation of identification accuracy.First,a real-time data processing system is established to receive and store ADS-B signals to meet the conditions for open-time set.The system possesses the following functionalities:data collection,data parsing,feature extraction,and identity recognition.Subsequently,a two-dimensional TimeFrequency Feature Diagram(TFFD)is proposed as a signal pre-processing method.The TFFD is constructed from the received ADS-B signal and the reconstructed signal for input to the recognition model.Finally,incorporating a frequency offset layer into the Swin Transformer architecture,a novel recognition network framework is proposed.This integration can enhance the network recognition accuracy and robustness by tailoring to the specific characteristics of ADSB signals.Experimental results indicate that the proposed recognition architecture achieves recognition accuracy of 95.86%in closed-time set and 84.33%in open-time set,surpassing other algorithms.

文摘Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast(ADS-B)technology,with its open signal sharing,faces substantial security risks from false signals and spoofing attacks when broadcasting Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)information.This paper proposes a security position verification technique based on Multilateration(MLAT)to detect false signals,ensuring UAV safety and reliable airspace operations.First,the proposed method estimates the current position of the UAV by calculating the Time Difference of Arrival(TDOA),Time Sum of Arrival(TSOA),and Angle of Arrival(AOA)information.Then,this estimated position is compared with the ADS-B message to eliminate false UAV signals.Furthermore,a localization model based on TDOA/TSOA/AOA is established by utilizing reliable reference sources for base station time synchronization.Additionally,an improved Chan-Taylor algorithm is developed,incorporating the Constrained Weighted Least Squares(CWLS)method to initialize UAV position calculations.Finally,a false signal detection method is proposed to distinguish between true and false positioning targets.Numerical simulation results indicate that,at a positioning error threshold of 150 m,the improved Chan-Taylor algorithm based on TDOA/TSOA/AOA achieves 100%accuracy coverage,significantly enhancing localization precision.And the proposed false signal detection method achieves a detection accuracy rate of at least 90%within a 50-meter error range.
