To accurately predict the mean flow and turbulence characteristics of open-channel dividing flows, a hybrid LES-RANS model, which combines the large eddy simulation （LES） model with the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） model, is proposed in the present study. The unsteady RANS model was used to simulate the upstream and downstream regions of a main channel, as well as the downstream region of a branch channel. The LES model was used to simulate the channel diversion region, where turbulent flow characteristics are complicated. Isotropic velocity fluctuations were added at the inflow interface of the LES region to trigger the generation of resolved turbulence. A method based on the virtual body force is proposed to impose Reynolds-averaged velocity fields near the outlet of the LES region in order to take downstream flow effects computed by the RANS model into account and dissipate the excessive turbulent fluctuations. This hybrid approach saves computational effort and makes it easier to properly specify inlet and outlet boundary conditions. Comparison between computational results and experimental data indicates that this relatively new modeling approach can accurately predict open-channel T-diversion flows.展开更多

The unsteady RANS model was used to simulate the upstream and downstream regions of a main channel, as well as the downstream region of a branch channel. The LES model was used to simulate the channel diversion region, where turbulent flow characteristics are complicated. Isotropic velocity fluctuations were added at the inflow interface of the LES region to trigger the generation of resolved turbulence. A method based on the virtual body force is proposed to impose Reynolds-averaged velocity fields near the outlet of the LES region in order to take downstream flow effects computed by the RANS model into account and dissipate the excessive turbulent fluctuations. This hybrid approach saves computational effort and makes it easier to properly specify inlet and outlet boundary conditions. Comparison between computational results and experimental data indicates that this relatively new modeling approach can accurately predict open-channel T-diversion flows.

文摘Peptide-based therapeutics hold great promise for the treatment of various diseases;however,their clinical application is often hindered by toxicity challenges.The accurate prediction of peptide toxicity is crucial for designing safe peptide-based therapeutics.While traditional experimental approaches are time-consuming and expensive,computational methods have emerged as viable alternatives,including similarity-based and machine learning(ML)-/deep learning(DL)-based methods.However,existing methods often struggle with robustness and generalizability.To address these challenges,we propose HyPepTox-Fuse,a novel framework that fuses protein language model(PLM)-based embeddings with conventional descriptors.HyPepTox-Fuse integrates ensemble PLM-based embeddings to achieve richer peptide representations by leveraging a cross-modal multi-head attention mechanism and Transformer architecture.A robust feature ranking and selection pipeline further refines conventional descriptors,thus enhancing prediction performance.Our framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods in cross-validation and independent evaluations,offering a scalable and reliable tool for peptide toxicity prediction.Moreover,we conducted a case study to validate the robustness and generalizability of HyPepTox-Fuse,highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing model performance.Furthermore,the HyPepTox-Fuse server is freely accessible at https://balalab-skku.org/HyPepTox-Fuse/and the source code is publicly available at https://github.com/cbbl-skku-org/HyPepTox-Fuse/.The study thus presents an intuitive platform for predicting peptide toxicity and supports reproducibility through openly available datasets.
文摘This research pioneers the integration of geographic information systems(GIS)and 3D modeling within a virtual reality(VR)framework to assess the viability and planning of a 20 MW hybrid wind-solarphotovoltaic(PV)system connected to the local grid.The study focuses on Dakhla,Morocco,a region with vast untapped renewable energy potential.By leveraging GIS,we are innovatively analyzing geographical and environmental factors that influence optimal site selection and system design.The incorporation of VR technologies offers an unprecedented level of realism and immersion,allowing stakeholders to virtually experience the project's impact and design in a dynamic,interactive environment.This novel methodology includes extensive data collection,advanced modeling,and simulations,ensuring that the hybrid system is precisely tailored to the unique climatic and environmental conditions of Dakhla.Our analysis reveals that the region possesses a photovoltaic solar potential of approximately2400 k Wh/m^(2) per year,with an average annual wind power density of about 434 W/m^(2) at an 80-meter hub height.Productivity simulations indicate that the 20 MW hybrid system could generate approximately 60 GWh of energy per year and 1369 GWh over its 25-year lifespan.To validate these findings,we employed the System Advisor Model(SAM)software and the Global Solar Photovoltaic Atlas platform.This comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach not only provides a robust assessment of the system's feasibility but also offers valuable insights into its potential socio-economic and environmental impact.

文摘Short rotation plantation forestry(SRF)is being widely adopted to increase wood production,in order to meet global demand for wood products.However,to ensure maximum gains from SRF,optimised management regimes need to be established by integrating robust predictions and an understanding of mechanisms underlying tree growth.Hybrid ecophysiological models,such as potentially useable light sum equation(PULSE)models,are useful tools requiring minimal input data that meet the requirements of SRF.PULSE models have been tested and calibrated for different evergreen conifers and broadleaves at both juvenile and mature stages of tree growth with coarse soil and climate data.Therefore,it is prudent to question:can adding detailed soil and climatic data reduce errors in this type of model?In addition,PULSE techniques have not been used to model deciduous species,which are a challenge for ecophysiological models due to their phenology.This study developed a PULSE model for a clonal Populus tomentosa plantation in northern China using detailed edaphic and climatic data.The results showed high precision and low bias in height(m)and basal area(m^(2)·ha^(-1))predictions.While detailed edaphoclimatic data produce highly precise predictions and a good mechanistic understanding,the study suggested that local climatic data could also be employed.The study showed that PULSE modelling in combination with coarse level of edaphic and local climate data resulted in reasonably precise tree growth prediction and minimal bias.

文摘In this paper,we introduce an innovative method for computer-aided design(CAD)segmentation by concatenating meshes and CAD models.Many previous CAD segmentation methods have achieved impressive performance using single representations,such as meshes,CAD,and point clouds.However,existing methods cannot effectively combine different three-dimensional model types for the direct conversion,alignment,and integrity maintenance of geometric and topological information.Hence,we propose an integration approach that combines the geometric accuracy of CAD data with the flexibility of mesh representations,as well as introduce a unique hybrid representation that combines CAD and mesh models to enhance segmentation accuracy.To combine these two model types,our hybrid system utilizes advanced-neural-network techniques to convert CAD models into mesh models.For complex CAD models,model segmentation is crucial for model retrieval and reuse.In partial retrieval,it aims to segment a complex CAD model into several simple components.The first component of our hybrid system involves advanced mesh-labeling algorithms that harness the digitization of CAD properties to mesh models.The second component integrates labelled face features for CAD segmentation by leveraging the abundant multisemantic information embedded in CAD models.This combination of mesh and CAD not only refines the accuracy of boundary delineation but also provides a comprehensive understanding of the underlying object semantics.This study uses the Fusion 360 Gallery dataset.Experimental results indicate that our hybrid method can segment these models with higher accuracy than other methods that use single representations.
文摘In recent years,there has been a concerted effort to improve anomaly detection tech-niques,particularly in the context of high-dimensional,distributed clinical data.Analysing patient data within clinical settings reveals a pronounced focus on refining diagnostic accuracy,personalising treatment plans,and optimising resource allocation to enhance clinical outcomes.Nonetheless,this domain faces unique challenges,such as irregular data collection,inconsistent data quality,and patient-specific structural variations.This paper proposed a novel hybrid approach that integrates heuristic and stochastic methods for anomaly detection in patient clinical data to address these challenges.The strategy combines HPO-based optimal Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise for clustering patient exercise data,facilitating efficient anomaly identification.Subsequently,a stochastic method based on the Interquartile Range filters unreliable data points,ensuring that medical tools and professionals receive only the most pertinent and accurate information.The primary objective of this study is to equip healthcare pro-fessionals and researchers with a robust tool for managing extensive,high-dimensional clinical datasets,enabling effective isolation and removal of aberrant data points.Furthermore,a sophisticated regression model has been developed using Automated Machine Learning(AutoML)to assess the impact of the ensemble abnormal pattern detection approach.Various statistical error estimation techniques validate the efficacy of the hybrid approach alongside AutoML.Experimental results show that implementing this innovative hybrid model on patient rehabilitation data leads to a notable enhance-ment in AutoML performance,with an average improvement of 0.041 in the R2 score,surpassing the effectiveness of traditional regression models.

文摘Alcohol oxidation is a widely used green chemical reaction.The reaction process produces flammable and explosive hydrogen,so the design of the reactor must meet stringent safety requirements.Based on the limited experimental data,utilizing the traditional numerical method of computational fluid dynamics(CFD)to simulate the gas-liquid two-phase flow reactor can mitigate the risk of danger under varying working conditions.However,the calculation process is highly time-consuming.Therefore,by integrating process simulation,computational fluid dynamics,and deep learning technologies,an intelligent hybrid chemical model based on machine learning was proposed to expedite CFD calculations,enhance the prediction of flow fields,conversion rates,and concentrations inside the reactor,and offer insights for designing and optimizing the reactor for the alcohol oxidation system.The results show that the hybrid model based on the long and short-term memory neural network achieves 99.8%accuracy in conversion rate prediction and 99.9%accuracy in product concentration prediction.Through validation,the hybrid model is accelerated by about 360 times compared with instrumental analysis in conversion rate prediction and about 45 times compared with CFD calculation in concentration distribution prediction.This hybrid model can quickly predict the conversion rate and product concentration distribution in the gas-liquid two-phase flow reactor and provide a model reference for fast prediction and accurate control in the actual chemical production process.
文摘Accurate prediction of wind energy plays a vital role in maintaining grid stability and supporting the broader shift toward renewable energy systems.Nevertheless,the inherently variable nature of wind and the intricacy of high-dimensional datasets pose major obstacles to reliable forecasting.To address these difficulties,this study presents an innovative hybrid method for short-term wind power prediction by combining a Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)network with a Single Candidate Optimizer(SCO)algorithm.In contrast to conventional techniques that rely on random parameter initialization,the proposed LSTM-SCO framework leverages the distinctive capability of SCO to work with a single candidate solution,thereby substantially reducing the computational overhead compared to traditional population-based metaheuristics.The performance of the model was benchmarked against various classical and deep learning models across datasets from three geographically diverse sites,using multiple evaluation metrics.Experimental findings demonstrate that the SCO-optimized model enhances prediction accuracy by up to 12.5%over standard LSTM implementations.

文摘Within the SILVARSTAR project,a user-friendly frequency-based hybrid prediction tool has been developed to assess the environmental impact of railway-induced vibration.This tool is integrated in existing noise mapping software.Following modern vibration standards and guidelines,the vibration velocity level in a building in each frequency band is expressed as the sum of a force density(source term),line source transfer mobility(propagation term)and building correction factor(receiver term).A hybrid approach is used that allows for a combination of experimental data and numerical predictions,providing increased flexibility and applicability.The train and track properties can be selected from a database or entered as numerical values.The user can select soil impedance and transfer functions from a database,pre-computed for a wide range of parameters with state-of-the-art models.An experimental database of force densities,transfer functions,free field vibration and input parameters is also provided.The building response is estimated by means of building correction factors.Assumptions within the modelling approach are made to reduce computation time but these can influence prediction accuracy;this is quantified for the case of a nominal intercity train running at different speeds on a ballasted track supported by homogeneous soil of varying stiffness.The paper focuses on the influence of these parameters on the compliance of the track–soil system and the free field response.We also demonstrate the use and discuss the validation of the vibration prediction tool for the case of a high-speed train running on a ballasted track in Lincent(Belgium).

文摘Sea surface temperature(SST)is an important ocean variable affecting climate change.It plays an important role in the interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere,and it also has an effect on the transport of heat,freshwater,and carbon.Therefore,accurate SST prediction is necessary for understanding climate change and protecting ocean ecosystems.In this study,we proposed a hybrid model to predict SST in the tropical Pacific Ocean based on two single deep-learning models.Results indicate that the proposed hybrid model shows superior prediction accuracy at all lead times compared to the single model.Specifically,during El Niño periods,the root mean square error,mean absolute error,and Pearson correlation coefficient of the hybrid model forecasts were approximately 0.54℃,0.40℃,and 0.98,respectively,while during La Niña periods,these metrics were 0.55℃,0.39℃,and 0.98,respectively.Notably,the hybrid model was able to capture the spatial distribution of SSTs during the El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)events more accurately relative to a single model.Moreover,the prediction results of the hybrid model in different ocean regions exhibited lower prediction errors and higher correlations.The ablation experiments showed that sea surface wind(SSW)had different effects on SST at different times.By combining SST and SSW data,the model can make more-accurate predictions under different climatic conditions.The proposed hybrid model is able to predict SSTs quickly and accurately with better robustness during ENSO.

文摘In endoscopic surgery,the limited field of view and the nonlinear deformation of organs caused by patient movement and respiration significantly complicate the modeling and accurate tracking of soft tissue surfaces from endoscopic image sequences.To address these challenges,we propose a novel Hybrid Triangular Matching(HTM)modeling framework for soft tissue feature tracking.Specifically,HTM constructs a geometric model of the detected blobs on the soft tissue surface by applying the Watershed algorithm for blob detection and integrating the Delaunay triangulation with a newly designed triangle search segmentation algorithm.By leveraging barycentric coordinate theory,HTMrapidly and accurately establishes inter-frame correspondences within the triangulated model,enabling stable feature tracking without explicit markers or extensive training data.Experimental results on endoscopic sequences demonstrate that this model-based tracking approach achieves lower computational complexity,maintains robustness against tissue deformation,and provides a scalable geometric modeling method for real-time soft tissue tracking in surgical computer vision.

文摘A three-dimensional numerical model of laser-arc hybrid plasma for aluminum alloy fillet joints is developed in this study.This mod-el accounts for the geometric complexity of fillet joints,the physical properties of shielding gases with varying He-Ar ratios,and the coupling between arc plasma and laser-induced metal plume.The accuracy of the model is validated using a high-speed camera.The effects of varying He contents in the shielding gas on both the temperature and flow velocity of hybrid plasma,as well as the distribu-tion of laser-induced metal vapor mass,were investigated separately.The maximum temperature and size of arc plasma decrease as the He volume ratio increases,the arc distribution becomes more concentrated,and its flow velocity initially decreases and then sharply increases.At high helium content,both the flow velocity of hybrid plasma and metal vapor are high,the metal vapor is con-centrated on the right side of keyhole,and its flow appears chaotic.The flow state of arc plasma is most stable when the shielding gas consists of 50%He+50%Ar.
