Therefore, a lot of exploration work has been already carried out in the area aiming at assessing the hydrocarbon anomaly and some techniques for anomaly delineation are being suggested. Yakla covers about 312 km 2 and lies 20 km south to Luntai Kuche road and displays as a long rectangular, with the length of 24 km in ENE and the width of 13 km in WSW. The surface is desert covered with saline akali, sand ribbon and sand dune. Samples collected from Yakla were analyzed for their hydrocarbon mass fractions and the spatial distribution of the concentrations of selected hydrocarbons C 1, C 2, C 3, i C 4, n C 4, i C 5, n C 5 and UF365 were estimated from these data sets. Multivariate statistical techniques including Kriging, moving average, factor analyses, cluster analyses and furrier filtering are used. The statistical techniques, spatial data analysis and transformation capabilities of geographic information systems, combined with geophysical and geological data, helped the authors to identify the hydrocarbon anomaly in Yakla.展开更多

In Zambia, the Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) is a key tool for managing the supply chain of these commodities. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of LMIS in ensuring the availability of essential medicines and medical supplies in public hospitals in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. Materials and Methods: From February to April 2022, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 public hospitals across the Copperbelt Province. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, checklists, and stock control cards. The study assessed LMIS availability, training, and knowledge among pharmacy personnel, as well as data accuracy, product availability, and order fill rates. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Results: All surveyed hospitals had LMIS implemented and were using eLMIS as the primary LMIS. Only 47% and 48% of pharmacy personnel received training in eLMIS and Essential Medicines Logistics Improvement Program (EMLIP), respectively. Most personnel demonstrated good knowledge of LMIS, with 77.7% able to log in to eLMIS Facility Edition, 76.6% able to locate stock control cards in the system, and 78.7% able to perform transactions. However, data accuracy from physical and electronic records varied from 0% to 60%, and product availability ranged from 50% to 80%. Order fill rates from Zambia Medicines and Medical Supplies Agency (ZAMMSA) were consistently below 30%. Discrepancies were observed between physical stock counts and eLMIS records. Conclusion: This study found that most hospitals in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia have implemented LMIS use. While LMIS implementation is high in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia, challenges such as low training levels, data inaccuracies, low product availability, and order fill rates persist. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach, including capacity building, data quality improvement, supply chain coordination, and investment in infrastructure and human resources. Strengthening LMIS effectiveness is crucial for improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes in Zambia.展开更多

Conclusion: This study found that most hospitals in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia have implemented LMIS use. While LMIS implementation is high in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia, challenges such as low training levels, data inaccuracies, low product availability, and order fill rates persist. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach, including capacity building, data quality improvement, supply chain coordination, and investment in infrastructure and human resources. Strengthening LMIS effectiveness is crucial for improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes in Zambia.

文摘The existing Low-Earth-Orbit(LEO)positioning performance cannot meet the requirements of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)clusters for high-precision real-time positioning in the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)denial conditions.Therefore,this paper proposes a UAV Clusters Information Geometry Fusion Positioning(UC-IGFP)method using pseudoranges from the LEO satellites.A novel graph model for linking and computing between the UAV clusters and LEO satellites was established.By utilizing probability to describe the positional states of UAVs and sensor errors,the distributed multivariate Probability Fusion Cooperative Positioning(PF-CP)algorithm is proposed to achieve high-precision cooperative positioning and integration of the cluster.Criteria to select the centroid of the cluster were set.A new Kalman filter algorithm that is suitable for UAV clusters was designed based on the global benchmark and Riemann information geometry theory,which overcomes the discontinuity problem caused by the change of cluster centroids.Finally,the UC-IGFP method achieves the LEO continuous highprecision positioning of UAV clusters.The proposed method effectively addresses the positioning challenges caused by the strong direction of signal beams from LEO satellites and the insufficient constraint quantity of information sources at the edge nodes of the cluster.It significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of LEO-UAV cluster positioning.The results of comprehensive simulation experiments show that the proposed method has a 30.5%improvement in performance over the mainstream positioning methods,with a positioning error of 14.267 m.

文摘Ensuring information security in the quantum era is a growing challenge due to advancements in cryptographic attacks and the emergence of quantum computing.To address these concerns,this paper presents the mathematical and computer modeling of a novel two-dimensional(2D)chaotic system for secure key generation in quantum image encryption(QIE).The proposed map employs trigonometric perturbations in conjunction with rational-saturation functions and hence,named as Trigonometric-Rational-Saturation(TRS)map.Through rigorous mathematical analysis and computational simulations,the map is extensively evaluated for bifurcation behaviour,chaotic trajectories,and Lyapunov exponents.The security evaluation validates the map’s non-linearity,unpredictability,and sensitive dependence on initial conditions.In addition,the proposed TRS map has further been tested by integrating it in a QIE scheme.The QIE scheme first quantum-encodes the classic image using the Novel Enhanced Quantum Representation(NEQR)technique,the TRS map is used for the generation of secure diffusion key,which is XOR-ed with the quantum-ready image to obtain the encrypted images.The security evaluation of the QIE scheme demonstrates superior security of the encrypted images in terms of statistical security attacks and also against Differential attacks.The encrypted images exhibit zero correlation and maximum entropy with demonstrating strong resilience due to 99.62%and 33.47%results for Number of Pixels Change Rate(NPCR)and Unified Average Changing Intensity(UACI).The results validate the effectiveness of TRS-based quantum encryption scheme in securing digital images against emerging quantum threats,making it suitable for secure image encryption in IoT and edge-based applications.

文摘Flip-flow screens offer unique advantages in grading fine-grained materials.To address inaccuracies caused by sensor vibra-tions in traditional contact measurement methods,we constructed a non-invasive measurement system based on electrical and optical sig-nals.A trajectory tracking algorithm for the screen-body was developed to visually measure the kinematics.Employing the principle oflaser reflection for distance measurement,optical techniques were performed to capture the kinematic information of the screen-plate.Ad-ditionally,by using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmission of electrical signals,tracer particle tracking technology was implemented to elec-trically measure the kinematic information of mineral particles.Consequently,intelligent fusion and perception of the kinematic informa-tion for the screen-body,screen-plate,and particles in the screening system have been achieved.

文摘With the rapid development of economy,air pollution caused by industrial expansion has caused serious harm to human health and social development.Therefore,establishing an effective air pollution concentration prediction system is of great scientific and practical significance for accurate and reliable predictions.This paper proposes a combination of pointinterval prediction system for pollutant concentration prediction by leveraging neural network,meta-heuristic optimization algorithm,and fuzzy theory.Fuzzy information granulation technology is used in data preprocessing to transform numerical sequences into fuzzy particles for comprehensive feature extraction.The golden Jackal optimization algorithm is employed in the optimization stage to fine-tune model hyperparameters.In the prediction stage,an ensemble learning method combines training results frommultiplemodels to obtain final point predictions while also utilizing quantile regression and kernel density estimation methods for interval predictions on the test set.Experimental results demonstrate that the combined model achieves a high goodness of fit coefficient of determination(R^(2))at 99.3% and a maximum difference between prediction accuracy mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)and benchmark model at 12.6%.This suggests that the integrated learning system proposed in this paper can provide more accurate deterministic predictions as well as reliable uncertainty analysis compared to traditionalmodels,offering practical reference for air quality early warning.

文摘Quantum information masking(QIM)is a crucial technique for protecting quantum data from being accessed by local subsystems.In this paper,we introduce a novel method for achieving1-uniform QIM in multipartite systems utilizing a Fourier matrix.We further extend this approach to construct an orthogonal array with the aid of a Hadamard matrix,which is a specific type of Fourier matrix.This allows us to explore the relationship between 2-uniform QIM and orthogonal arrays.Through this framework,we derive two distinct 2-uniform quantum states,enabling the 2-uniform masking of original information within multipartite systems.Furthermore,we prove that the maximum number of quantum bits required for achieving a2-uniformly masked state is 2^(n)-1,and the minimum is 2^(n-1)+3.Moreover,our scheme effectively demonstrates the rich quantum correlations between multipartite systems and has potential application value in quantum secret sharing.

文摘In the era of big data,data-driven technologies are increasingly leveraged by industry to facilitate autonomous learning and intelligent decision-making.However,the challenge of“small samples in big data”emerges when datasets lack the comprehensive information necessary for addressing complex scenarios,which hampers adaptability.Thus,enhancing data completeness is essential.Knowledge-guided virtual sample generation transforms domain knowledge into extensive virtual datasets,thereby reducing dependence on limited real samples and enabling zero-sample fault diagnosis.This study used building air conditioning systems as a case study.We innovatively used the large language model(LLM)to acquire domain knowledge for sample generation,significantly lowering knowledge acquisition costs and establishing a generalized framework for knowledge acquisition in engineering applications.This acquired knowledge guided the design of diffusion boundaries in mega-trend diffusion(MTD),while the Monte Carlo method was used to sample within the diffusion function to create information-rich virtual samples.Additionally,a noise-adding technique was introduced to enhance the information entropy of these samples,thereby improving the robustness of neural networks trained with them.Experimental results showed that training the diagnostic model exclusively with virtual samples achieved an accuracy of 72.80%,significantly surpassing traditional small-sample supervised learning in terms of generalization.This underscores the quality and completeness of the generated virtual samples.
