The distribution and volume of the landslides are very important for assessing risks and understanding the landslide - debris flow - barrier lake - bursts flood disaster chain. The number and the area of landslides in a wide region can be easily obtained by remote sensing technique, while the volume is relatively difficult to obtain because it requires some detailed geometric information of slope failure surface and sub-surface. Different empirical models for estimating landslide volume were discussed based on the data of 107 landslides in the earthquake-stricken area. The volume data of these landslides were collected by field survey. Their areas were obtained by interpreting remote sensing images while their apparent friction coefficients and height were extracted from the images unifying DEM (digital elevation model). By analyzing the relationships between the volume and the area, apparent friction coefficients, and the height, two models were established, one for the adaptation of a magnitude scale landslide events in a wide range of region, another for the adaptation in a small scope. The correlation coefficients (R2) are 0.7977 and 0.8913, respectively. The results estimated by the two models agree well with the measurement data.展开更多

To address the challenges posed by differences in biological maturity and the limitations of existing testing methods, particularly in adolescent sports contexts, there is a pressing need for a non-invasive method that is convenient, accurate, and broadly applicable to monitor the biological maturity of adolescent athletes comprehensively. In response to this need, a maturity assessment method based on the smartphone application Maturo has been developed. This study evaluates the accuracy and validity of the Maturo software, an automated tool for estimating biological age and related maturation metrics.Methods: A sample of 103 actively training teenage athletes aged 9-17 years. The sample included 76 males(age = 11.74 ± 1.55 years, mean ±SD) and 27 females(age = 13.95 ± 1.40 years), all without medical conditions that might impact growth or development.Results: Compared to traditional expert evaluations, the intraclass correlation coefficients(ICCs) and Pearson correlation coefficients demonstrated reliable positive correlations and significant agreement between the Maturo software and expert methods across multiple metrics, such as biological age(ICC = 0.965, R = 0.97), corrected biological age(ICC = 0.973, R = 0.99), predicted adult height(ICC = 0.991, R = 0.99), and percentage of adult height achieved(ICC = 0.955, R = 0.97). The Bland-Altman plots provided additional evidence of the validity of the Maturo software estimations, showing low systematic error in most measures. The linear regression analysis produced excellent adjusted R2values: 0.95for biological age and 0.99 for anticipated adult height. The Maturo approach demonstrated a high level of dependability in classifying teenagers into groups based on their maturity status and timing. The κ coefficients of 0.93 for maturity status and 0.82 for maturity timing indicate a nearly perfect agreement with the expert technique.Conclusion: While the Maturo software's non-invasive nature, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use could make it a potential tool for regular monitoring of growth and maturation in young athletes, its promising results in assessing maturation should be interpreted with caution due to limitations such as sample size and demographic constraints. Further longitude research with larger and more diverse populations is needed to validate these preliminary findings and strengthen the evidence for its broader applicability.展开更多

With the development of ICESat-2, many elevation observations can be used to derive elevation changes. However, the large amount of multitemporal data may include anomalous data points, increasing the uncertainty of the results. In this work, we improved the traditional repeat track method by introducing the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics Ⅲ(IGGⅢ) method to obtain high-accuracy estimates of elevation change. The improved method was applied to analyze elevation changes along the transect from Zhongshan Station to Dome A in East Antarctica via ICESat-2 satellite altimetry data. The results show that the improved and traditional methods yield consistent numerical and spatial elevation change distributions. The elevation change calculated via the traditional method is 0.033 ± 0.131 m/yr, whereas the elevation change estimated via the IGGⅢ robust estimation method is 0.033 ± 0.109 m/yr from March 2019 to December 2021.In terms of spatial distribution, elevation changes in inland areas remain close to equilibrium, whereas regions with steeper ice sheet margins exhibit positive accumulation trends in elevation changes. The improved method reduces the standard error of the adjustment function from 0.975 to 0.691 m/yr. The improvement is particularly remarkable in the area between 72°S and 77°S. The results demonstrate that the IGGⅢ method effectively reduces errors caused by the inclusion of anomalous data and maintains the high data utilization rate of repeat-orbit methods.展开更多

With Shou County and Huaiyuan County of Anhui Province as the experimental fields of winter wheat producing areas, the linear winter wheat yield estimating models were established by adopting backscattering coefficient and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index（NDVI） based on images from the synthetic aperture radar（SAR）—RDARSAT-2 and HJ satellite photographed in mid-April and early May, 2014, and then comparisons were conducted on the accuracy of the yield estimating models. The accuracies of the yield estimating models established using co-polarized（HH） and cross-polarized（HV） modes of SAR in Jiangou Town, Shou County were 68.37% and 74.01%, respectively, while the accuracies in Longkang Town, Huaiyuan County were 63.10%and 69.10%, respectively. Accuracies of yield estimating models established by HJ satellite data were 69.52% and 66.43% in Shou County and Huaiyuan County, respectively. Accuracies of winter yield estimating model based on HJ satellite data and that based on SAR were closed, and the yield difference of winter wheat in the lodging region was analyzed in detail. The model results laid the foundation and accumulated experience for the verification, parameters correction and promotion of the winter wheat yield estimating model.展开更多

This highlights that the pollution control strategies should be taken according to different pollutant species and sources in different watersheds rather than one-size-fits-all .展开更多

文摘The Wenchuan Ms 8.0 earthquake on May 12, 2008 induced a huge number of landslides. The distribution and volume of the landslides are very important for assessing risks and understanding the landslide - debris flow - barrier lake - bursts flood disaster chain. The number and the area of landslides in a wide region can be easily obtained by remote sensing technique, while the volume is relatively difficult to obtain because it requires some detailed geometric information of slope failure surface and sub-surface. Different empirical models for estimating landslide volume were discussed based on the data of 107 landslides in the earthquake-stricken area. The volume data of these landslides were collected by field survey. Their areas were obtained by interpreting remote sensing images while their apparent friction coefficients and height were extracted from the images unifying DEM (digital elevation model). By analyzing the relationships between the volume and the area, apparent friction coefficients, and the height, two models were established, one for the adaptation of a magnitude scale landslide events in a wide range of region, another for the adaptation in a small scope. The correlation coefficients (R2) are 0.7977 and 0.8913, respectively. The results estimated by the two models agree well with the measurement data.

To address the challenges posed by differences in biological maturity and the limitations of existing testing methods, particularly in adolescent sports contexts, there is a pressing need for a non-invasive method that is convenient, accurate, and broadly applicable to monitor the biological maturity of adolescent athletes comprehensively. In response to this need, a maturity assessment method based on the smartphone application Maturo has been developed.

The sample included 76 males(age = 11.74 ± 1.55 years, mean ±SD) and 27 females(age = 13.95 ± 1.40 years), all without medical conditions that might impact growth or development.Results: Compared to traditional expert evaluations, the intraclass correlation coefficients(ICCs) and Pearson correlation coefficients demonstrated reliable positive correlations and significant agreement between the Maturo software and expert methods across multiple metrics, such as biological age(ICC = 0.965, R = 0.97), corrected biological age(ICC = 0.973, R = 0.99), predicted adult height(ICC = 0.991, R = 0.99), and percentage of adult height achieved(ICC = 0.955, R = 0.97). The Bland-Altman plots provided additional evidence of the validity of the Maturo software estimations, showing low systematic error in most measures. The linear regression analysis produced excellent adjusted R2values: 0.95for biological age and 0.99 for anticipated adult height. The Maturo approach demonstrated a high level of dependability in classifying teenagers into groups based on their maturity status and timing. The κ coefficients of 0.93 for maturity status and 0.82 for maturity timing indicate a nearly perfect agreement with the expert technique.Conclusion: While the Maturo software's non-invasive nature, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use could make it a potential tool for regular monitoring of growth and maturation in young athletes, its promising results in assessing maturation should be interpreted with caution due to limitations such as sample size and demographic constraints. Further longitude research with larger and more diverse populations is needed to validate these preliminary findings and strengthen the evidence for its broader applicability.

文摘Geological storage in salt caverns plays a critical role in managing energy resources,yet regional assessments often fall short in accounting for specific salt dome morphological variations that can significantly influence cavern engineering and storage capacity.To address this gap,we developed a refined approach to modeling salt domes,incorporating primary axis tilt,ellipticity,and conic taper.These geometric modifications are applied to a cylindrical baseline salt dome model to assess the effects on total salt volume,workable salt volume,and cavern storage potential.Case studies of four salt domes from the East Texas Salt Basin—Mount Sylvan,Boggy Creek,Steen,and Hainesville—validate the observed trends from the models.Our findings reveal that positive cone taper and primary axis tilt configurations enhance storage potential,leading to significant increases in potential cavern volume,while ellipticity and negative cone taper result in reduced storage capacities.The study underscores the importance of refining volumetric assessments by accounting for detailed morphologic variations,providing a more accurate framework for site-specific geological storage evaluations.Additionally,we discuss challenges related to intra-salt heterogeneities,including intra-salt deformation and mineralogical impurities,highlighting the need for improved site characterization to optimize the safety and efficiency of subsurface storage systems.This work contributes to the development of scalable and reliable geological storage infrastructure,essential for meeting future energy demands.

文摘Earthquakes can cause significant damage and loss of life,necessitating immediate assessment of the resulting fatalities.Rapid assessment and timely revision of fatality estimates are crucial for effective emergency decisionmaking.This study using the February 6,2023,M_(S)8.0 and M_(S)7.9 Kahramanmaras,Türkiye earthquakes as an example to estimate the ultimate number of fatalities.An early Quick Rough Estimate(QRE)based on the number of deaths reported by the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Türkiye(AFAD)is conducted,and it dynamically adjusts these estimates as new data becomes available.The range of estimates of the final number of deaths can be calculated as 31384–56475 based on the"the QRE of the second day multiplied by 2–3" rule,which incorporates the reported final deaths 50500.The Quasi-Linear and Adaptive Estimation(QLAE)method adaptively adjusts the final fatality estimate within two days and predicts subsequent reported deaths.The correct order of magnitude of the final death toll can be estimated as early as 13 hr after the M_(S)8.0 earthquake.In addition,additional earthquakes such as May 12,2008,M_(S)8.1 Wenchuan earthquake(China),September 8,2023,M_(S)7.2 Al Haouz earthquake(Morocco),November 3,2023,M_(S)5.8 Mid-Western Nepal earthquake,December 18,2023,M_(S)6.1 Jishishan earthquake(China),January 1,2024,M_(S)7.2 Noto Peninsula earthquake(Japan)and August 8,2023,Maui,Hawaii,fires are added again to verified the correctness of the model.The fatalities from the Maui fires are found to be approximately equivalent to those resulting from an M_(S)7.4 earthquake.These methods complement existing frameworks such as Quake Loss Assessment for Response and Mitigation(QLARM)and Prompt Assessment of Global.

文摘Axle box bearings serve as crucial components within the transmission system of high-speed trains.Their failure can directly impact the operational safety of these trains.Accurately determining the dynamic load experienced by bearings during the operation of high-speed trains can provide valuable boundary inputs for the study of bearing fatigue life and service performance,thereby holding significant engineering implications.In this study,we propose a high-speed train axle box bearing load estimation method(FMCC-DKF).This method is founded on the Kalman filtering technique of the Maximum Correntropy Criterion(MCC)and employs dummy measurement technology to enhance the stability of estimated loads.We develop a kernel size update algorithm to address the challenges associated with obtaining the key parameter,kernel size of MCC.Comparative analysis of the vertical and lateral loads of the axle box bearing obtained using FMCC-DKF,DKF,and AMCC-DKF,under both measurement noise-free and non-Gaussian noise conditions,is conducted to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed estimation method.The results indicate that the proposed FMCC-DKF method exhibits high estimation accuracy under both measurement noise-free and non-Gaussian noise interference,and maintains its high estimation accuracy despite changes in train speed.The proposed load estimation method demonstrates reliable performance within the low-frequency domain below 70 Hz.
文摘BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis(AP),a severe pancreatic inflammatory condition,with a mor-tality rate reaching up to 40%.Recently,AP shows a steadily elevating prevalence,which causes the greater number of hospital admissions,imposing the substantial economic burden.Acute kidney injury(AKI)complicates take up approximately 15%of AP cases,with an associated mortality rate of 74.7%-81%.AIM To evaluate the efficacy of estimated plasma volume status(ePVS)in forecasting AKI in patients with AP.METHODS In this retrospective cohort study,AP cases were recruited from the First College of Clinical Medical Science of China Three Gorges University between January 2019 and October 2023.Electronic medical records were adopted for data extrac-tion,including demographic data and clinical characteristics.The association between ePVS and AKI was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression models,with potential confounders being adjusted.Nonlinear relationship was examined with smooth curve fitting,and infection points were calculated.Further analyses were performed on stratified subgroups and interaction tests were conducted.RESULTS Among the 1508 AP patients,251(16.6%)developed AKI.ePVS was calculated using Duarte(D-ePVS)and Kaplan-Hakim(KH-ePVS)formulas.After adjusting for covariates,the AKI risk exhibited 46%[odds ratio(OR)=1.46,95%confidence interval(CI):0.96-2.24]and 11%(OR=1.11,95%CI:0.72-1.72)increases in the low tertile(T1)of D-ePVS and KH-ePVS,respectively,and 101%(OR=2.01,95%CI:1.31-3.05)and 51%(OR=1.51,95%CI:1.00-2.29)increases in the high tertile(T3)relative to the reference tertile(T2).Nonlinear curve fitting revealed a U-shaped association of D-ePVS with AKI and a J-shaped association for KH-ePVS,with inflection points at 4.3 dL/g and-2.8%,res-pectively.Significant interactions were not observed in age,gender,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,sequential organ failure assessment score,or AP severity(all P for interaction>0.05).CONCLUSION Our results indicated that ePVS demonstrated the nonlinear association with AKI incidence in AP patients.A U-shaped curve was observed with an inflection point at 4.3 dL/g for the Duarte formula,and a J-shaped curve at-2.8%for the Kaplan-Hakim formula.

文摘Elevation change monitoring of the Antarctic ice sheet has been a key issue in global change research.Satellite altimetry has been proven to be effective in detecting ice sheet variations. With the development of ICESat-2, many elevation observations can be used to derive elevation changes. However, the large amount of multitemporal data may include anomalous data points, increasing the uncertainty of the results. In this work, we improved the traditional repeat track method by introducing the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics Ⅲ(IGGⅢ) method to obtain high-accuracy estimates of elevation change. The improved method was applied to analyze elevation changes along the transect from Zhongshan Station to Dome A in East Antarctica via ICESat-2 satellite altimetry data. The results show that the improved and traditional methods yield consistent numerical and spatial elevation change distributions. The elevation change calculated via the traditional method is 0.033 ± 0.131 m/yr, whereas the elevation change estimated via the IGGⅢ robust estimation method is 0.033 ± 0.109 m/yr from March 2019 to December 2021.In terms of spatial distribution, elevation changes in inland areas remain close to equilibrium, whereas regions with steeper ice sheet margins exhibit positive accumulation trends in elevation changes. The improved method reduces the standard error of the adjustment function from 0.975 to 0.691 m/yr. The improvement is particularly remarkable in the area between 72°S and 77°S. The results demonstrate that the IGGⅢ method effectively reduces errors caused by the inclusion of anomalous data and maintains the high data utilization rate of repeat-orbit methods.

文摘Background Acute kidney injury(AKI)is a common and serious complication following coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG),with an incidence rate ranging from 4%to 28%.The estimated plasma volume status(ePVS)-a novel marker calculated from routine hematocrit and hemoglobin levels-reflects both volume overload and hemodilution,which are potential contributors to renal impairment.Nevertheless,the relationship between ePVS and AKI in patients undergoing CABG remains poorly understood.Therefore,this study aimed to investigate the association of ePVS with the risk of AKI in adult patients who underwent CABG.Methods This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care(MIMIC)-IV database,covering the period from 2008 to 2019.The primary outcome was the occurrence of AKI following admission to the intensive care unit(ICU).Hematocrit and hemoglobin levels were measured within 24 hours after ICU admission.The ePVS was calculated using the Strauss-derived Duarte formula:ePVS=[100-hematocrit(%)]/hemoglobin(g/dL).AKI was defined in accordance with the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes(KDIGO)criteria.Multivariable logistic regression models were used to adjust for demographics,comorbidities,and critical laboratory markers.Patients were stratified into three groups based on the ePVS tertiles(low:≤6.30;middle:6.30-8.08;high:>8.08).Multivariate logistic regression and subgroup analyses were applied to explore the association of the ePVS with the risk of AKI.Furthermore,we also examined the association of ePVS with AKI by employing generalized additive models.Results A total of 3,388 patients were included in the final analysis,of whom 2,573(75.94%)developed AKI.Following multivariable adjustment,each unit increase in ePVS was associated with a 9%increase in the odds of AKI(OR:1.09,95%CI:1.05-1.14;P<0.001).When analyzed by ePVS tertiles,the highest tertile demonstrated a significantly elevated AKI risk compared with the lowest tertile(OR:1.48,95%CI:1.18-1.86,P=0.0007),with a significant dose-response relationship observed across tertiles(P for trend<0.001).Subgroup analyses further indicated that the association between ePVS and AKI was more pronounced among patients with pre-existing renal or peripheral vascular disease and was statistically significant only in White patients.Conclusions ePVS was independently associated with an increased risk of AKI in adults undergoing CABG.These findings supported the potential utility of ePVS as a simple,economical clinical tool for early identification of patients at high risk for AKI following cardiac surgery.

文摘The distribution of the sediment material storage quantity along the debris flow channels(SMSQ_DFC)can provide a foundation for runoffgenerated debris flow prediction or susceptibility assessment.Current models for estimating SMSQ_DFC do not consider the capacity of the channel cross-section to accommodate sediment materials.This accommodation condition serves as a limiting factor in determining whether the expected surplus of sediment materials can ultimately be stored.To address this issue,a mass-conservative index was used to represent the balance of deposit materials at any cross-section,considering the influx from upstream,outflux to downstream,and accommodation capacity.Based on this index,a new model for estimating SMSQ_DFC was developed and subsequently evaluated.The evaluation results show that the model meets the accuracy requirements with average error rates of 14.06%for self-validation and 14.81%for generalization ability validation.To assess its practical applications,the model was applied to the Yeniu Gully in Wenchuan County,Sichuan Province,an area with detailed field survey data.The results show that the model exhibits a commendable performance.Compared to traditional theoretical and semi-theoretical statistical models,our model is easier to use(input parameters can be obtained using Geographic Information Systems(GIS)).The modeling parameters chosen in this study have more theoretical significance than those used in existing purely statistical models,offering more effective technical support for estimating SMSQ_DFC.
文摘Aging is an inevitable process that is usually measured by chronological age,with people aged 65 and over being defined as"older individuals".There is disagreement in the current scientific literature regarding the best methods to estimate glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)in older adults.Several studies suggest the use of an age-adjusted definition to improve accuracy and avoid overdiagnosis.In contrast,some researchers argue that such changes could complicate the classification of chronic kidney disease(CKD).Several formulas,including the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease,CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration,and Cockcroft-Gault equations,are used to estimate eGFR.However,each of these formulas has significant limitations when applied to older adults,primarily due to sarcopenia and malnutrition,which greatly affect both muscle mass and creatinine levels.Alternative formulas,such as the Berlin Initiative Study and the Full Age Spectrum equations,provide more accurate estimates of values for older adults by accounting for age-related physiological changes.In frail older adults,the use of cystatin C leads to better eGFR calculations to assess renal function.Accurate eGFR measurements improve the health of older patients by enabling better medication dosing.A thorough approach that includes multiple calibrated diagnostic methods and a detailed geriatric assessment is necessary for the effective management of kidney disease and other age-related conditions in older adults.

文摘The establishment of crop yield estimating model based on microwave and optical satellite images can conduct the mutual verification of the accuracy of the reported crop yield and the precision of the estimating model. With Shou County and Huaiyuan County of Anhui Province as the experimental fields of winter wheat producing areas, the linear winter wheat yield estimating models were established by adopting backscattering coefficient and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index（NDVI） based on images from the synthetic aperture radar（SAR）—RDARSAT-2 and HJ satellite photographed in mid-April and early May, 2014, and then comparisons were conducted on the accuracy of the yield estimating models. The accuracies of the yield estimating models established using co-polarized（HH） and cross-polarized（HV） modes of SAR in Jiangou Town, Shou County were 68.37% and 74.01%, respectively, while the accuracies in Longkang Town, Huaiyuan County were 63.10%and 69.10%, respectively. Accuracies of yield estimating models established by HJ satellite data were 69.52% and 66.43% in Shou County and Huaiyuan County, respectively. Accuracies of winter yield estimating model based on HJ satellite data and that based on SAR were closed, and the yield difference of winter wheat in the lodging region was analyzed in detail. The model results laid the foundation and accumulated experience for the verification, parameters correction and promotion of the winter wheat yield estimating model.

文摘An innovative approach based on water environmental capacity for non-point source NPS pollution removal rate estimation was discussed by using both univariate and multivariate data analysis.Taking Shenzhen city as the study case a 67% to 74% NPS pollutant load removal rate can lead to meeting the chemical oxygen demand COD pollution control target for most watersheds.In contrast it is hardly to achieve the ammonia nitrogen NH4-N total phosphorus TP and biological oxygen demand BOD5 pollution control target by simply removing NPS pollutants. This highlights that the pollution control strategies should be taken according to different pollutant species and sources in different watersheds rather than one-size-fits-all .

文摘In GNSS-denied environments,signals of opportunity(SOP)offer an efficient and passive solution for navigation and positioning by utilizing ambient signals.Nevertheless,conventional SOP techniques face significant challenges in real-time processing,especially under sub-Nyquist sampling conditions,due to high data acquisition rates and offgrid errors.To address this,this paper proposes the signal reconstruction and kernel sparse encoding(SRKSE)model,a novel general framework for high-precision parameter estimation.By combining compressed sensing with a deep unfolding network,the SRKSE model not only achieves robust signal reconstruction but also effectively reduces quantization errors.Key innovations of SRKSE include dual crossattention mechanisms for enhanced feature extraction,sinc sparse kernel encoding to minimize quantization errors,and a custom loss function for balanced optimization.With these advancements,SRKSE achieves up to a 650-fold improvement in time of arrival(TOA)estimation accuracy while operating at just 1%of the Nyquist sampling rate.The SRKSE surpasses both conventional and deep learning-based techniques in accuracy and efficiency,especially when operating under sub-Nyquist sampling conditions.Simulations and real-world experiments confirm the reliability and potential of SRKSE for real-time applications in IoT and wireless communication.

文摘The orthogonal time frequency space(OTFS)modulation is a novel modulation scheme that can effectively cope with the high Doppler expansion caused by high mobility.Since it modulates data on delay-Doppler(DD)domain and makes full use of the sparse characteristics of DD domain,it has been widely studied to design efficient channel estimation and signal detection schemes.In this paper,we design a novel superimposed pilot pattern with transition band,which replaces the traditional embedded pilot(EP)guard zero-symbols,and perform a two-stage channel estimation.In the first stage,we fully utilize the dispersion characteristics of OTFS signal in DD domain,and use threshold decision to make coarse channel estimation.In the second stage,we use the results of the coarse estimation for iterative signal detection and accurate channel estimation.During the second stage,we make full use of the sparsity of the channel in DD domain,remodel the received signal into the form of sparse channel vector multiplied by channel coefficient matrix,and introduce Doppler index segmentation factor(DISF)to subdivide the Doppler index to solve the problem of fractional Doppler.Simulations reveal that,the scheme proposed in this paper has higher spectral efficiency compared with traditional EP scheme and lower peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR)compared with traditional superimposed pilot scheme.

文摘The growing use of lithium-ion batteries in electric transportation and grid-scale storage systems has intensified the need for accurate and highly generalizable state-of-health(SOH)estimation.Conventional approaches often suffer from reduced accuracy under dynamically uncertain state-of-charge(SOC)operating ranges and heterogeneous aging stresses.This study presents a unified SOH estimation framework that integrates physics-informed modeling,subspace identification,and Transformer-based learning.A reduced-order model is derived from simplified electrochemical dynamics,providing an interpretable and computationally efficient representation of battery behavior.Subspace identification across a wide SOC and SOH range yields degradation-sensitive features,which the Transformer uses to capture long-range aging dynamics via multi-head self-attention.Experiments on LiFePO4 cells under joint-cell training show consistently accurate SOH estimation,with a maximum error of 1.39%,demonstrating the framework’s effectiveness in decoupling SOC and SOH effects.In cross-cell validation,where training and validation are performed on different cells,the model maintains a maximum error of 2.06%,confirming strong generalization to unseen aging trajectories.Comparative experiments on LiFePO_(4)and public LiCoO_(2)datasets confirm the framework’s cross-chemistry applicability.By extracting low-dimensional,physically interpretable features via subspace identification,the framework significantly reduces training cost while maintaining high SOH estimation accuracy,outperforming conventional data-driven models lacking physical guidance.

文摘The acquisition of position information of legitimate users and jammers plays an important role in the emerging non-geostationary synchronous orbit(NGSO)satellite communications.In this paper,we study the multi-signal localization problem in an uplink NGSO satellite communication system.We propose an onboard localization scheme based on multiple observations from the satellite,together with the geometric constraints of the satellite postions,the signal positions,the attitude of the satellite,and the angle-of-arrival(AoAs)of the signals.We develop a massage-passing algorithm,termed the Bayesian blind multi-signal localization(BMSL),to jointly estimate the AoAs and the signal positions.The Cramér-Rao lower bound(CRLB)is derived to characterize the fundamental performance limit of the considered localization problem.Simulation results show that the proposed BMSL algorithm can perform close to the derived CRLB and significantly outperforms its counterpart algorithms.
