However, the response of global black carbon(BC) aging to emission changes remains unclear. Using the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 with a machine-learning-integrated four-mode version of the Modal Aerosol Module, we quantify global BC aging responses to emission reductions for 2011–2018 and for 2050 and 2100 under carbon neutrality. During 2011–18, global trends in BC aging degree(mass ratio of coatings to BC, R_(BC)) exhibited marked regional disparities, with a significant increase in China(5.4% yr^(-1)), which contrasts with minimal changes in the USA, Europe, and India. The divergence is attributed to opposing trends in secondary organic aerosol(SOA) and sulfate coatings, driven by regional changes in the emission ratios of corresponding coating precursors to BC(volatile organic compounds-VOCs/BC and SO_(2)/BC). Projections under carbon neutrality reveal that R_(BC) will increase globally by 47%(118%) in 2050(2100), with strong convergent increases expected across major source regions. The R_(BC) increase, primarily driven by enhanced SOA coatings due to sharper BC reductions relative to VOCs, will enhance the global BC mass absorption cross-section(MAC) by 11%(17%) in 2050(2100).Consequently, although the global BC burden will decline sharply by 60%(76%), the enhanced MAC partially offsets the magnitude of the decline in the BC direct radiative effect, resulting in the moderation of global BC DRE decreases to 88%(92%) of the BC burden reductions in 2050(2100). This study highlights the globally enhanced BC aging and light absorption capacity under carbon neutrality, thereby partly offsetting the impact of BC direct emission reductions on future changes in BC radiative effects globally.展开更多

文摘Single-pixel imaging(SPI)is a prominent scattering media imaging technique that allows image transmission via one-dimensional detection under structured illumination,with applications spanning from long-range imaging to microscopy.Recent advancements leveraging deep learning(DL)have significantly improved SPI performance,especially at low compression ratios.However,most DL-based SPI methods proposed so far rely heavily on extensive labeled datasets for supervised training,which are often impractical in real-world scenarios.Here,we propose an unsupervised learningenabled label-free SPI method for resilient information transmission through unknown dynamic scattering media.Additionally,we introduce a physics-informed autoencoder framework to optimize encoding schemes,further enhancing image quality at low compression ratios.Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that high-efficiency data transmission with structural similarity exceeding 0.9 is achieved through challenging turbulent channels.Moreover,experiments demonstrate that in a 5 m underwater dynamic turbulent channel,USAF target imaging quality surpasses traditional methods by over 13 dB.The compressive encoded transmission of 720×720 resolution video exceeding 30 seconds with great fidelity is also successfully demonstrated.These preliminary results suggest that our proposed method opens up a new paradigm for resilient information transmission through unknown dynamic scattering media and holds potential for broader applications within many other scattering media imaging technologies.

文摘Countries around the world have been making efforts to reduce pollutant emissions. However, the response of global black carbon(BC) aging to emission changes remains unclear. Using the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 with a machine-learning-integrated four-mode version of the Modal Aerosol Module, we quantify global BC aging responses to emission reductions for 2011–2018 and for 2050 and 2100 under carbon neutrality. During 2011–18, global trends in BC aging degree(mass ratio of coatings to BC, R_(BC)) exhibited marked regional disparities, with a significant increase in China(5.4% yr^(-1)), which contrasts with minimal changes in the USA, Europe, and India. The divergence is attributed to opposing trends in secondary organic aerosol(SOA) and sulfate coatings, driven by regional changes in the emission ratios of corresponding coating precursors to BC(volatile organic compounds-VOCs/BC and SO_(2)/BC). Projections under carbon neutrality reveal that R_(BC) will increase globally by 47%(118%) in 2050(2100), with strong convergent increases expected across major source regions. The R_(BC) increase, primarily driven by enhanced SOA coatings due to sharper BC reductions relative to VOCs, will enhance the global BC mass absorption cross-section(MAC) by 11%(17%) in 2050(2100).Consequently, although the global BC burden will decline sharply by 60%(76%), the enhanced MAC partially offsets the magnitude of the decline in the BC direct radiative effect, resulting in the moderation of global BC DRE decreases to 88%(92%) of the BC burden reductions in 2050(2100). This study highlights the globally enhanced BC aging and light absorption capacity under carbon neutrality, thereby partly offsetting the impact of BC direct emission reductions on future changes in BC radiative effects globally.
文摘Automated cartoon character recognition is crucial for applications in content indexing,filtering,and copyright protection,yet it faces a significant challenge in animated media due to high intra-class visual variability,where characters frequently alter their appearance.To address this problem,we introduce the novel Kral Sakir dataset,a public benchmark of 16,725 images specifically curated for the task of multi-label cartoon character classification under these varied conditions.This paper conducts a comprehensive benchmark study,evaluating the performance of state-of-the-art pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs),including DenseNet,ResNet,and VGG,against a custom baseline model trained from scratch.Our experiments,evaluated using metrics of F1-Score,accuracy,and Area Under the ROC Curve(AUC),demonstrate that fine-tuning pretrained models is a highly effective strategy.The best-performing model,DenseNet121,achieved an F1-Score of 0.9890 and an accuracy of 0.9898,significantly outperforming our baseline CNN(F1-Score of 0.9545).The findings validate the power of transfer learning for this domain and establish a strong performance benchmark.The introduced dataset provides a valuable resource for future research into developing robust and accurate character recognition systems.

文摘Holographic microscopy has emerged as a vital tool in biomedicine,enabling visualization of microscopic morphological features of tissues and cells in a label-free manner.Recently,deep learning(DL)-based image reconstruction models have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in holographic image reconstruction.However,their utility in practice is still severely limited,as conventional training schemes could not properly handle out-of-distribution data.Here,we leverage backpropagation operation and reparameterization of the forward propagator to enable an adaptable image reconstruction model for histopathologic inspection.Only given with a training dataset of rectum tissue images captured from a single imaging configuration,our scheme consistently shows high reconstruction performance even with the input hologram of diverse tissue types at different pathological states captured under various imaging configurations.Using the proposed adaptation technique,we show that the diagnostic features of cancerous colorectal tissues,such as dirty necrosis,captured with 5×magnification and a numerical aperture(NA)of 0.1,can be reconstructed with high accuracy,whereas a given training dataset is strictly confined to normal rectum tissues acquired under the imaging configuration of 20×magnification and an NA of 0.4.Our results suggest that the DL-based image reconstruction approaches,with sophisticated adaptation techniques,could offer an extensively generalizable solution for inverse mapping problems in imaging.

文摘In its 2023 global health statistics,the World Health Organization noted that noncommunicable diseases(NCDs)remain the leading cause of disease burden worldwide,with cardiovascular diseases(CVDs)resulting in more deaths than the three other major NCDs combined.In this study,we developed a method that can comprehensively detect which CVDs are present in a patient.Specifically,we propose a multi-label classification method that utilizes photoplethysmography(PPG)signals and physiological characteristics from public datasets to classify four types of CVDs and related conditions:hypertension,diabetes,cerebral infarction,and cerebrovascular disease.Our approach to multi-disease classification of cardiovascular diseases(CVDs)using PPG signals achieves the highest classification performance when encompassing the broadest range of disease categories,thereby offering a more comprehensive assessment of human health.We employ a multi-label classification strategy to simultaneously predict the presence or absence of multiple diseases.Specifically,we first apply the Savitzky-Golay(S-G)filter to the PPG signals to reduce noise and then transform into statistical features.We integrate processed PPG signals with individual physiological features as a multimodal input,thereby expanding the learned feature space.Notably,even with a simple machine learning method,this approach can achieve relatively high accuracy.The proposed method achieved a maximum F1-score of 0.91,minimum Hamming loss of 0.04,and an accuracy of 0.95.Thus,our method represents an effective and rapid solution for detecting multiple diseases simultaneously,which is beneficial for comprehensively managing CVDs.
文摘Underwater pipeline inspection plays a vital role in the proactive maintenance and management of critical marine infrastructure and subaquatic systems.However,the inspection of underwater pipelines presents a challenge due to factors such as light scattering,absorption,restricted visibility,and ambient noise.The advancement of deep learning has introduced powerful techniques for processing large amounts of unstructured and imperfect data collected from underwater environments.This study evaluated the efficacy of the You Only Look Once(YOLO)algorithm,a real-time object detection and localization model based on convolutional neural networks,in identifying and classifying various types of pipeline defects in underwater settings.YOLOv8,the latest evolution in the YOLO family,integrates advanced capabilities,such as anchor-free detection,a cross-stage partial network backbone for efficient feature extraction,and a feature pyramid network+path aggregation network neck for robust multi-scale object detection,which make it particularly well-suited for complex underwater environments.Due to the lack of suitable open-access datasets for underwater pipeline defects,a custom dataset was captured using a remotely operated vehicle in a controlled environment.This application has the following assets available for use.Extensive experimentation demonstrated that YOLOv8 X-Large consistently outperformed other models in terms of pipe defect detection and classification and achieved a strong balance between precision and recall in identifying pipeline cracks,rust,corners,defective welds,flanges,tapes,and holes.This research establishes the baseline performance of YOLOv8 for underwater defect detection and showcases its potential to enhance the reliability and efficiency of pipeline inspection tasks in challenging underwater environments.

文摘This paper investigates the optimization of data sampling and target labeling techniques to enhance algorithmic trading strategies in cryptocurrency markets,focusing on Bitcoin(BTC)and Ethereum(ETH).Traditional data sampling methods,such as time bars,often fail to capture the nuances of the continuously active and highly volatile cryptocurrency market and force traders to wait for arbitrary points in time.To address this,we propose an alternative approach using information-driven sampling methods,including the CUSUM filter,range bars,volume bars,and dollar bars,and evaluate their performance using tick-level data from January 2018 to June 2023.Additionally,we introduce the Triple Barrier method for target labeling,which offers a solution tailored for algorithmic trading as opposed to the widely used next-bar prediction.We empirically assess the effectiveness of these data sampling and labeling methods to craft profitable trading strategies.The results demonstrate that the innovative combination of CUSUM-filtered data with Triple Barrier labeling outperforms traditional time bars and next-bar prediction,achieving consistently positive trading performance even after accounting for transaction costs.Moreover,our system enables making trading decisions at any point in time on the basis of market conditions,providing an advantage over traditional methods that rely on fixed time intervals.Furthermore,the paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the applicability of Transformer models to time series classification in the context of algorithmic trading by evaluating various Transformer architectures—including the vanilla Transformer encoder,FEDformer,and Autoformer—alongside other deep learning architectures and classical machine learning models,revealing insights into their relative performance.

文摘The unsupervised vehicle re-identification task aims at identifying specific vehicles in surveillance videos without utilizing annotation information.Due to the higher similarity in appearance between vehicles compared to pedestrians,pseudo-labels generated through clustering are ineffective in mitigating the impact of noise,and the feature distance between inter-class and intra-class has not been adequately improved.To address the aforementioned issues,we design a dual contrastive learning method based on knowledge distillation.During each iteration,we utilize a teacher model to randomly partition the entire dataset into two sub-domains based on clustering pseudo-label categories.By conducting contrastive learning between the two student models,we extract more discernible vehicle identity cues to improve the problem of imbalanced data distribution.Subsequently,we propose a context-aware pseudo label refinement strategy that leverages contextual features by progressively associating granularity information from different bottleneck blocks.To produce more trustworthy pseudo-labels and lessen noise interference during the clustering process,the context-aware scores are obtained by calculating the similarity between global features and contextual ones,which are subsequently added to the pseudo-label encoding process.The proposed method has achieved excellent performance in overcoming label noise and optimizing data distribution through extensive experimental results on publicly available datasets.

文摘Medical image segmentation,i.e.,labeling structures of interest in medical images,is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment in radiology.In reversible data hiding in medical images(RDHMI),segmentation consists of only two regions:the focal and nonfocal regions.The focal region mainly contains information for diagnosis,while the nonfocal region serves as the monochrome background.The current traditional segmentation methods utilized in RDHMI are inaccurate for complex medical images,and manual segmentation is time-consuming,poorly reproducible,and operator-dependent.Implementing state-of-the-art deep learning(DL)models will facilitate key benefits,but the lack of domain-specific labels for existing medical datasets makes it impossible.To address this problem,this study provides labels of existing medical datasets based on a hybrid segmentation approach to facilitate the implementation of DL segmentation models in this domain.First,an initial segmentation based on a 33 kernel is performed to analyze×identified contour pixels before classifying pixels into focal and nonfocal regions.Then,several human expert raters evaluate and classify the generated labels into accurate and inaccurate labels.The inaccurate labels undergo manual segmentation by medical practitioners and are scored based on a hierarchical voting scheme before being assigned to the proposed dataset.To ensure reliability and integrity in the proposed dataset,we evaluate the accurate automated labels with manually segmented labels by medical practitioners using five assessment metrics:dice coefficient,Jaccard index,precision,recall,and accuracy.The experimental results show labels in the proposed dataset are consistent with the subjective judgment of human experts,with an average accuracy score of 94%and dice coefficient scores between 90%-99%.The study further proposes a ResNet-UNet with concatenated spatial and channel squeeze and excitation(scSE)architecture for semantic segmentation to validate and illustrate the usefulness of the proposed dataset.The results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed architecture in accurately separating the focal and nonfocal regions compared to state-of-the-art architectures.Dataset information is released under the following URL:https://www.kaggle.com/lordamoah/datasets(accessed on 31 March 2025).

文摘Cyclohexene is an important raw material in the production of nylon.Selective hydrogenation of benzene is a key method for preparing cyclohexene.However,the Ru catalysts used in current industrial processes still face challenges,including high metal usage,high process costs,and low cyclohexene yield.This study utilizes existing literature data combined with machine learning methods to analyze the factors influencing benzene conversion,cyclohexene selectivity,and yield in the benzene hydrogenation to cyclohexene reaction.It constructs predictive models based on XGBoost and Random Forest algorithms.After analysis,it was found that reaction time,Ru content,and space velocity are key factors influencing cyclohexene yield,selectivity,and benzene conversion.Shapley Additive Explanations(SHAP)analysis and feature importance analysis further revealed the contribution of each variable to the reaction outcomes.Additionally,we randomly generated one million variable combinations using the Dirichlet distribution to attempt to predict high-yield catalyst formulations.This paper provides new insights into the application of machine learning in heterogeneous catalysis and offers some reference for further research.
文摘The electrocatalytic reduction of nitric oxide for ammonia synthesis(NORR)is a key green energy conversion technology.Its efficiency relies on high-performance electrocatalysts to enhance both ammonia yield(Y_(NH3))and Faradaic efficiency(F_(NH3)).However,conventional experimental methods for screening high-activity NORR catalysts often entail high resource consumption and time costs.Machine learning combined with SHAP feature analysis was employed to establish a stacked ensemble model that integrates multiple algorithms,to allow for a systematic investigation of the key descriptors governing NORR performance based on an experimental dataset.Evaluation of eight model algorithms revealed that the Stacked-SVR model achieved an R^(2)of 0.9223 and an RMSE of 0.0608 for predicting on the test set,whereas the Stacked-RF model achieved an R^(2)of 0.9042 and an RMSE of 0.0900 for predicting.The stacked ensemble model integrates the strengths of individual algorithms and demonstrates strong NORR prediction performance while avoiding overfitting.SHAP feature analysis results revealed that the Cu content in the catalyst composition has the most significant impact on catalytic performance.Moreover,the combination of the wet chemical reduction synthesis,a carbon fiber(CF)conductive substrate,and HCl electrolyte is more favorable for enhancing catalytic activity.Additionally,moderately lowering the working potential,controlling the electrolyte volume at low to medium levels,reducing catalyst loading,and increasing electrolyte concentration were found to synergistically enhance both and.
