文摘Detecting the complexity of natural systems,such as hydrological systems,can help improve our understanding of complex interactions and feedback between variables in these systems.The correlation dimension method,as one of the most useful methods,has been applied in many studies to investigate the chaos and detect the intrinsic dimensions of underlying dynamic systems.However,this method often relies on manual inspection due to uncertainties from iden-tifying the scaling region,making the correlation dimension value calculation troublesome and subjective.Therefore,it is necessary to propose a fast and intelligent algorithm to solve the above problem.This study implies the distinct windows tracking technique and fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm to accu-rately identify the scaling range and estimate the correlation dimension values.The proposed method is verified using the classic Lorenz chaotic system and 10 streamflow series in the Daling River basin of Liaoning Province,China.The results reveal that the proposed method is an intelligent and robust method for rapidly and accurately calculating the correlation dimension values,and the average operation efficiency of the proposed algorithm is 30 times faster than that of the original Grassberger-Procaccia algorithm.

文摘Fire detection has held stringent importance in computer vision for over half a century.The development of early fire detection strategies is pivotal to the realization of safe and smart cities,inhabitable in the future.However,the development of optimal fire and smoke detection models is hindered by limitations like publicly available datasets,lack of diversity,and class imbalance.In this work,we explore the possible ways forward to overcome these challenges posed by available datasets.We study the impact of a class-balanced dataset to improve the fire detection capability of state-of-the-art(SOTA)vision-based models and propose the use of generative models for data augmentation,as a future work direction.First,a comparative analysis of two prominent object detection architectures,You Only Look Once version 7(YOLOv7)and YOLOv8 has been carried out using a balanced dataset,where both models have been evaluated across various evaluation metrics including precision,recall,and mean Average Precision(mAP).The results are compared to other recent fire detection models,highlighting the superior performance and efficiency of the proposed YOLOv8 architecture as trained on our balanced dataset.Next,a fractal dimension analysis gives a deeper insight into the repetition of patterns in fire,and the effectiveness of the results has been demonstrated by a windowing-based inference approach.The proposed Slicing-Aided Hyper Inference(SAHI)improves the fire and smoke detection capability of YOLOv8 for real-life applications with a significantly improved mAP performance over a strict confidence threshold.YOLOv8 with SAHI inference gives a mAP:50-95 improvement of more than 25%compared to the base YOLOv8 model.The study also provides insights into future work direction by exploring the potential of generative models like deep convolutional generative adversarial network(DCGAN)and diffusion models like stable diffusion,for data augmentation.

文摘In this article,we first establish a recollement related to projectively coresolved Gorenstein flat(PGF)complexes.Secondly,we define and study PGF dimension of complexes,we denote it PG F(X)for a complex X.It is shown that the PGF(X)is equal to the infimum of the set{supA|there exists a diagram of morphisms of complexes A←G→X,such that G→X is a special PGF precover of X and G→A is a PGF almost isomorphism}.
文摘The phenomenon of photothermally induced transparency(PTIT)arises from the nonlinear behavior of an optical cavity,resulting from the heating of mirrors.By introducing a coupling field in the form of a standing wave,PTIT can be transitioned into photothermally induced grating(PTIG).A two-dimensional(2D)diffraction pattern is achieved through the adjustment of key parameters such as coupling strength and effective detuning.Notably,we observe first,second,and third-order intensity distributions,with the ability to transfer probe energy predominantly to the third order by fine-tuning the coupling strength.The intensity distribution is characterized by(±m,±n),where m,n=1,2,3.This proposed 2D grating system offers a novel platform for manipulating PTIG,presenting unique possibilities for enhanced functionality and control.

文摘SrRuO_(3)is a canonical itinerant ferromagnet,yet its properties in the extreme two-dimensional limit on a(111)crystal plane remain largely unexplored.Here,we demonstrate a complete transformation of its ground state driven by dimensional reduction.As the thickness of(111)-oriented SrRuO_(3)films is reduced to a few unit cells,the system transitions from a metallic ferromagnet to a semiconducting antiferromagnet.This emergent antiferromagnetism is evidenced by a vanishing magnetic remanence and most strikingly,by the appearance of an unconventional twelve-fold anisotropic magnetoresistance.First-principles calculations confirm that an A-type antiferromagnetic order is the stable ground state in the ultrathin limit.Our findings establish(111)dimensional engineering as a powerful route to manipulate correlated electron states and uncover novel functionalities for antiferromagnetic spintronics.

文摘The Black–Scholes equation is one of the most important partial differential equations governing the value of financial derivatives in financial markets.The Black–Scholes model for pricing stock options has been applied to various payoff structures,and options trading is based on Black and Scholes’principle of dynamic hedging to estimate and assess option prices over time.However,the Black–Scholes model requires severe constraints,assumptions,and conditions to be applied to real-life financial and economic problems.Several methods and approaches have been developed to approach these conditions,such as fractional Black–Scholes models based on fractional derivatives.These fractional models are expected since the Black–Scholes equation is derived using Ito’s lemma from stochastic calculus,where fractional derivatives play a leading role.Hence,a fractional stochastic model that includes the basic Black–Scholes model as a special case is expected.However,these fractional financial models require computational tools and advanced analytical methods to solve the associated fractional Black–Scholes equations.Nevertheless,it is believed that the fractal nature of economic processes permits to model economical and financial markets problems more accurately compared to the conventional model.The relationship between fractional calculus and fractals is well-known in the literature.This study introduces a generalized Black–Scholes equation in fractal dimensions and discusses its role in financial marketing.In our analysis,we consider power-laws properties for volatility,interest rated,and dividend payout,which emerge in several empirical regularities in quantitative finance and economics.We apply our model to study the problem of pricing barrier option and we estimate the values of fractal dimensions in both time and in space.Our model can be used to obtain the prices of many pay-off models.We observe that fractal dimensions considerably affect the solutions of the Black–Scholes equation and that,for fractal dimensions much smaller than unity,the call option increases significantly.We prove that fractal dimensions are a powerful tool to obtain new results.Further details are analyzed and discussed.

文摘With the rapid advancement of global socio-economy and mounting environmental and ecological risks,China faces challenges in ensuring its food security and sustainable development,which further affects global food trade and security.This study aims to identify the supply-demand match between cropland supply and food consumption and to evaluate sustainable cropland zoning in multiple scenarios and multidimensional assessments.This study uses ecological,environmental and socioeconomic data to quantify diverse food demand patterns into corresponding cropland demands,further mapping the spatio-temporal characteristics of China's cropland supply-demand matches.By utilizing shared socioeconomic pathways(SSPs),this study delineates multiple scenarios to determine the supply-demand of cropland across different Chinese regions from 2030 to 2050.On the basis of ecological,geographical and socioeconomic datasets,this study constructs a multidimensional and multiscenario framework for sustainable agricultural zoning from 2030 to 2050 and proposes a future sustainable agricultural development strategy for each region in different periods.The results indicate that between 2002 and 2022,there was a significant gap between cropland supply and demand.Moreover,an obvious spatial mismatch is observed between cropland supply and demand across various Chinese regions.From 2030 to 2050,there is a noticeable shift in the spatial distribution of cropland supply and demand,with the supply-demand match becoming more strained and varying considerably under different development scenarios.With significant differences between different development scenarios,different regions will have to adopt different development strategies at different periods.This study proposes a multiscenario and multidimensional simulation framework for future agricultural sustainable zoning,which aims to provide scientific insights and policy improvements to promote sustainable agricultural development.

文摘The inversion of large sparse matrices poses a major challenge in geophysics,particularly in Bayesian seismic inversion,significantly limiting computational efficiency and practical applicability to largescale datasets.Existing dimensionality reduction methods have achieved partial success in addressing this issue.However,they remain limited in terms of the achievable degree of dimensionality reduction.An incremental deep dimensionality reduction approach is proposed herein to significantly reduce matrix size and is applied to Bayesian linearized inversion(BLI),a stochastic seismic inversion approach that heavily depends on large sparse matrices inversion.The proposed method first employs a linear transformation based on the discrete cosine transform(DCT)to extract the matrix's essential information and eliminate redundant components,forming the foundation of the dimensionality reduction framework.Subsequently,an innovative iterative DCT-based dimensionality reduction process is applied,where the reduction magnitude is carefully calibrated at each iteration to incrementally reduce dimensionality,thereby effectively eliminating matrix redundancy in depth.This process is referred to as the incremental discrete cosine transform(IDCT).Ultimately,a linear IDCT-based reduction operator is constructed and applied to the kernel matrix inversion in BLI,resulting in a more efficient BLI framework.The proposed method was evaluated through synthetic and field data tests and compared with conventional dimensionality reduction methods.The IDCT approach significantly improves the dimensionality reduction efficiency of the core inversion matrix while preserving inversion accuracy,demonstrating prominent advantages in solving Bayesian inverse problems more efficiently.

文摘Background The patient-reported Dimensional Anhedonia Rating Scale(DARS)has been adapted into Chinese,so there is a need to evaluate its measurement properties in a Chinese population.Aims To evaluate the reliability and validity of the DARS among Chinese individuals with major depressive disorder(MDD)and its treatment sensitivity in a prospective clinical study.Methods Data were from a multicentre,prospective clinical study(NCT03294525),which recruited both patients with MDD,who were followed for 8 weeks,and healthy controls(HCs),assessed at baseline only.The analysis included confirmatory factor analysis,validity and sensitivity to change.Results Patients’mean(standard deviation(SD))age was 34.8(11.0)years,with 68.7%being female.75.2%of patients with MDD had melancholic features,followed by 63.8%with anxious distress.Patients had experienced MDD for a mean(SD)of 9.2(18)months.DARS scores covered the full range of severity with no major floor or ceiling effects.Confirmatory factor analysis showed adequate fit statistics(comparative fit index 0.976,goodness-of-fit index 0.935 and root mean square error of approximation 0.055).Convergent validity with anhedonia-related measures was confirmed.While the correlation between the DARS and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale was not strong(r=0.31,baseline),the DARS was found to differentiate between levels of depression.Greater improvements in DARS scores were seen with the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression responder group(effect size 1.16)compared with the non-responder group(effect size 0.46).Conclusions This study comprehensively evaluated the measurement properties of the DARS using a Chinese population with MDD.Overall,the Chinese version of DARS demonstrates good psychometric properties and has been found to be responsive to change during antidepressant treatment.The DARS is a suitable scale for assessing patient-reported anhedonia in future clinical trials.

文摘Low-dimensional physics provides profound insights into strongly correlated interactions,leading to enhancedquantum effects and the emergence of exotic quantum states.The Ln_(3)ScBi_(5)family stands out as a chemicallyversatile kagome platform with mixed low-dimensional structural framework and tunable physical properties.Ourresearch initiates with a comprehensive evaluation of the currently known Ln_(3)ScBi_(5)(Ln=La-Nd,Sm)materials,providing a robust methodology for assessing their stability frontiers within this system.Focusing on Pr_(3)ScBi_(5),we investigate the influence of the zigzag chains of quasi-one-dimensional(Q1D)motifs and the distorted kagomelayers of quasi-two-dimensional(Q2D)networks in the mixed-dimensional structure on the intricate magneticground states and unique spin fluctuations.Our study reveals that the noncollinear antiferromagnetic(AFM)moments of Pr^(3+)ions are confined within the Q2D kagome planes,displaying minimal in-plane anisotropy.Incontrast,a strong AFM coupling is observed within the Q1D zigzag chains,significantly constraining spin motion.Notably,magnetic frustration is partially a consequence of coupling to conduction electrons via Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction,highlighting a promising framework for future investigations into mixed-dimensional frustration in Ln_(3)ScBi_(5) systems.

文摘Against the backdrop of intensified global cultural collisions and ideological competition,deeply integrating excellent traditional Chinese culture(ETCC)into university ideological and political courses(IPCs)has become an imperative of our times.Guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping’s methodology of“Two Integrations,”this paper examines the pathways for this integration from three dimensions:value,theory,and practice.The value dimension emphasizes fostering moral conviction and strengthening the spiritual foundation to meet needs such as safeguarding cultural security,preserving the spiritual lineage,and constructing a spiritual framework.The theoretical dimension reveals the mutually constitutive breakthroughs between Marxism and traditional Chinese dialectical thinking,encompassing methodological complementarity,logical coherence of values,and discursive system innovation.The practical dimension involves constructing a comprehensive educational ecosystem by localizing teaching content,modernizing traditional resources,and fostering inter-platform collaborative education,thereby internalizing the value of traditional culture.These three dimensions synergize and co-constitute each other,collectively providing methodological support and practical paradigms for cultivating cultural confidence among youth and forging a new generation capable of shouldering the mission of national rejuvenation.
