The assessment of electromagnetic SE for Slotted Composite Structures(SCSs) is particularly challenging due to their complex geometries and there remains a lack of suitable models for accurately predicting the SE performance of these intricate configurations. To address this issue, this paper introduces SCS-Net, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) method designed to accurately predict the SE of SCS. This method considers the impacts of various structural parameters, material properties and incident wave parameters on the SE of SCSs. In order to better model the SCS, an improved Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is introduced in this paper to provide an equivalent flat structure for the SCS and to calculate the electromagnetic parameters of the equivalent structure. Additionally, the prediction of SE via DNNs is limited by insufficient test data, which hinders support for large-sample training. To address the issue of limited measured data, this paper develops a Measurement-Computation Fusion (MCF) dataset construction method. The predictions based on the simulation results show that the proposed method maintains an error of less than 0.07 dB within the 8–10 GHz frequency range. Furthermore, a new loss function based on the weighted L1-norm is established to improve the prediction accuracy for these parameters. Compared with traditional loss functions, the new loss function reduces the maximum prediction error for equivalent electromagnetic parameters by 47%. This method significantly improves the prediction accuracy of SCS-Net for measured data, with a maximum improvement of 23.88%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method enables precise SE prediction and design for composite structures while reducing the number of test samples needed.展开更多

The time and cost needed for conducting precise experimental investigation on shear behavior of unsaturated soils have encouraged several investigators to develop analytical, empirical, or semi-empirical models for predicting the shear behavior of unsaturated soils. However, most of the previously proposed models are for specimens subjected to the isotropic state of stress, without considering the effect of initial shear stress. In this study, a hydromechanical constitutive model is proposed for unsaturated collapsible soils during shearing, with consideration of the effect of the initial shear stress. The model implements an effective stress-based disturbed state concept (DSC) to predict the stress-strain behavior of the soil. Accordingly, material/state variables were defined for both the start of the shearing stage and the critical state of the soil. A series of laboratory tests was performed using a fully automated unsaturated triaxial device to verify the proposed model. The experimental program included 23 suction-controlled unsaturated triaxial shear tests on reconstituted specimens of Gorgan clayey loess wetted to different levels of suctions under both isotropic and anisotropic stress states. The results show excellent agreement between the prediction by the proposed model and the experimental results.展开更多

文摘During nearly 200 years of development in the knowledge of Brownian motion,the Janus sphere,as a typical Brownian particle with special surface properties,has been widely studied in the past few decades.A standard Janus sphere possesses two distinct surfaces.These two surfaces elicit different hydrodynamic interactions with ambient fluids or other interactions in response to environmental stimuli,such as chemical gradients,magnetic fields,and even light.The diffusion of Janus spheres,particularly when controlled by a remotely applied field,has inspired various applications,ranging from the design of micro-swimmers and novel procedures for probing the mechanical properties of suspensions to the fabrication of composites with enhanced performance.In this work,we report a systematic analysis of field-controlled diffusion of Janus spheres.Commencing with stochastic differential equations of motion at the microscale,we derive a coarse-grained Fokker-Planck equation at the macroscale,describing the evolution of the probability distribution function of the Janus sphere in terms of its position and orientation.Leveraging the concept of the hydrodynamic center,we derive,for the first time,explicit generalized Stokes-Einstein relations for long-time effective diffusivity,incorporating the effects of both the surface discontinuity of the Janus sphere and the external fields.The formulae enable predictions of the effective diffusivity as it varies with the slip length and characteristic angle of Janus spheres,and reveal the impact of an aligning potential field on the diffusion coefficients both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the field.This work not only deepens the understanding of field-controlled diffusion of Janus particles,but also holds a meaningful impact on the future applications in microfluidics and related fields.

文摘Objective The objective of our study was to evaluate the vaccine effectiveness(VE)of the pentavalent rotavirus vaccine(RV5)among<5-year-old children in three provinces of China during 2020-2024 via a propensity score-matched test-negative case-control study.Methods Electronic health records and immunization information systems were used to obtain data on acute gastroenteritis(AGE)cases tested for rotavirus(RV)infection.RV-positive cases were propensity score matched with RV-negative controls for age,visit month,and province.Results The study included 27,472 children with AGE aged 8 weeks to 4 years at the time of AGE diagnosis;7.98%(2,192)were RV-positive.The VE(95%confidence interval,CI)of 1-2 and 3 doses of RV5 against any medically attended RV infection(inpatient or outpatient)was 57.6%(39.8%,70.2%)and 67.2%(60.3%,72.9%),respectively.Among children who received the 3rd dose before turning 5 months of age,3-dose VE decreased from 70.4%(53.9%,81.1%)(<5 months since the 3rd dose)to 63.0%(49.1%,73.0%)(≥1 year since the 3rd dose).The three-dose VE rate was 69.4%(41.3%,84.0%)for RVGE hospitalization and 57.5%(38.9%,70.5%)for outpatient-only medically attended RVGE.Conclusion Three-dose RV5 VE against rotavirus gastroenteritis(RVGE)in children aged<5 years was higher than 1-2-dose VE.Three-dose VE decreased with time since the 3rd dose in children who received the 3rd dose before turning five months of age,but remained above 60%for at least one year.VE was higher for RVGE hospitalizations than for medically attended outpatient visits.
文摘Background:Transrectal(TR)and transperineal(TP)biopsies are commonly used methods for diagnosing prostate cancer.However,their comparative effectiveness in conjunction with machine learning(ML)techniques remains underexplored.This study aimed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of ML algorithms in detecting prostate cancer using data derived from TR and TP biopsies.Methods:The clinical records of patients who underwent prostate biopsy at King Saud University Medical City and King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centerin Riyadh,Saudi Arabia,between 2018 and 2025 were analyzed.Data were used to train and testMLmodels,including eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost),Decision Tree,Random Forest,and Extra Trees.Results:The two datasets are comparable.The models demonstrated exceptional performance,achieving accuracies of up to 96.49%and 95.56%on TP and TR biopsy datasets,respectively.The area under the curve(AUC)values were also high,reaching 0.9988 for TP and 0.9903 for TR biopsy predictions.Conclusion:These findings highlight the potential of MLto enhance the diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer detection irrespective of the biopsy method.However,TP biopsy data showed marginally higher accuracy,possibly because of the lower risk of contamination.While ML holds great promise for transforming prostate cancer care,further research is needed to address limitations.Collaboration between clinicians,data scientists,and researchers is crucial to ensure the clinical relevance and interpretability of ML models.

文摘Predictions of fluid distribution,stress field,and natural fracture are essential for exploiting unconventional shale gas reservoirs.Given the high likelihood of tilted fractures in subsurface formations,this study focuses on simultaneous seismic inversion to estimate fluid bulk modulus,effective stress parameter,and fracture density in the tilted transversely isotropic(TTI)medium.In this article,a novel PP-wave reflection coefficient approximation equation is first derived based on the constructed TTI stiffness matrix incorporating fracture density,effective stress parameter,and fluid bulk modulus.The high accuracy of the proposed equation has been demonstrated using an anisotropic two-layer model.Furthermore,a stepwise seismic inversion strategy with the L_(P) quasi-norm sparsity constraint is implemented to obtain the anisotropic and isotropic parameters.Three synthetic model tests with varying signal-to-noise ratios(SNRs)confirm the method's feasibility and noise robustness.Ultimately,the proposed method is applied to a 3D fractured shale gas reservoir in the Sichuan Basin,China.The results have effectively characterized shale gas distribution,stress fields,and tilted natural fractures,with validation from geological structures,well logs,and microseismic events.These findings can provide valuable guidance for hydraulic fracturing development,enabling more reliable predictions of reservoir heterogeneity and completion quality.

文摘The future space-borne gravitational wave(GW)detectors would provide a promising probe for the new physics beyond the standard model that admits the first-order phase transitions.The predictions for the GW background vary sensitively among different concrete particle physics models but also share a large degeneracy in the model buildings,which motivates an effective model description on the phase transition based on different patterns of the electroweak symmetry breaking(EWSB).In this paper,using the scalar N-plet model as a demonstration,we propose an effective classification for three different patterns of EWSB:(1)radiative symmetry breaking with classical scale invariance,(2)the Higgs mechanism in a generic scalar extension,and(3)higher-dimensional operators.We conclude that a strong first-order phase transition could be realized for(1)and(2)with a small quartic coupling and a small isospin of an additional N-plet field for the light scalar field model with and without the classical scale invariance,and(3)with a large mixing coupling between scalar fields and a large isospin of the N-plet field for the heavy scalar field model.

文摘We revisit the issue of whether the effective potential for the conformal factor of the metric,which is generated by quantized matter fields,possesses a non-vanishing vacuum expectation value(VEV)or not.We prove that the effective potential has a vanishing vacuum expectation value on the basis of a global GL(4)symmetry.We also account for why there seems to be two different effective potentials for the conformal factor in a theory,one of which gives rise to a vanishing VEV for the conformal factor,whereas the other has a non-vanishing VEV.
