It also finds that the ECL has a better power law relation with the long-range correlated exponent γ of the LRCS： T = Kexp（-γ/0.3） ＋ Y, （0 〈 γ〈 1） the predictability of the LRCS decays exponentially with the increase of γ It is then applied to a daily maximum temperature series （DMTS） recorded at 740 stations in China between the years 1960-2005 and calculates the ECL of the DMTS. The results show the remarkable regional distributive feature that the ECL is about 10-14 days in west, northwest and northern China, and about 5-10 days in east, southeast and southern China. Namely, the predictability of the DMTS is higher in central-west China than in east and southeast China. In addition, the ECL is reduced by 1-8 days in most areas of China after subtracting the seasonal oscillation signal of the DMTS from its original DMTS; however, it is only slightly altered when the decadal linear trend is removed from the original DMTS. Therefore, it is shown that seasonal oscillation is a significant component of daily maximum temperature evolution and may provide a basis for predicting daily maximum temperatures. Seasonal oscillation is also significant for guiding general weather predictions, as well as seasonal weather predictions.展开更多

Through a large number of real data collected by the travel time detection system in Beijing, the variation of flow in different time periods and intersections is studied. According to the long-range correlation in different time scales, it mainly discuss the effect of intersection location in road net, people activity customs and special traffic controls on urban traffic flow. As demonstrated by obtained results, the urban traffic flow represents three-phase characters similar to highway traffic. Moreover, compared by the two groups of data obtained before and after the special traffic restrictions （vehicles with special numbered plates only run in a special workday） enforcement, it indicates that the rules not only reduce the flow but also avoid irregular fluctuation.展开更多

The dielectric constant consists of two parts. One part is independent of the long-range correlation, following 1/T law. The other part originates from the long-range correlation, and can be described by the correlation length well. The deviation from Curie-Weiss law in a small size sample originates from the decrease of the long-range correlation.展开更多

Long-range correlations in chlorophyll fluctuations were detected in almost all the SCS. The scaling exponents vary over a wide range from 0.5 to 1.14, with an average value of 0.79. High values are found in the upwelling regions, such as the northwest of Luzon and the north of Sunda Shelf. Low values occur in the southwest of Luzon, the east of Hainan Island and a majority of the southern SCS. This spatial pattern is considerably different from that of the scaling exponents of the sea surface temperature (SST) time series. It is also demonstrated that SST exhibits more persistence than chlorophyll in almost all the SCS.展开更多

The potentials are mapped from binary sequences with a power-law power spectrum over the entire frequency range, which is characterized by correlation exponent β. We find the localization length ζ increases withβ. At system sizes N →∞, there are no extended states. However, there exists a transition at a threshold ζ. Whenβ 〉 βc, we obtain ζ 〉 0. On the other hand, at finite system sizes, ζ≥ N may happen at certain β, which makes the system ＂metallic＂, and the upper-bound system size N＊ （β） is given.展开更多

At MF3E, moderate variability was observed in apparent electrical conductivity shallow (ECas), slope, and ECa ratio measurements, with coefficients of variation ranging from 20% to 27%. In contrast, MF11S exhibited higher variability, particularly in ECas and ECad (deep) measurements, which exceeded 30% in their coefficient of variation values, indicating significant differences in soil composition and moisture content. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between the near-infrared-to-red ratio and red reflectance (r = 0.897***) soil values at MF3E. MF11S demonstrated a strong negative correlation between ECas and ECad readings with the x-coordinate (r ***). Scatter plots and fitted models illustrated the complexity of relationships, with many showing nonlinear trends. These findings emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and advanced modeling to understand the dynamic nature of soil properties and their implications for agricultural practices. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms driving variability in the soil characteristics to enhance soil management strategies at the study sites.展开更多

The incident beam energies ranged from 114MeV to 127MeV in steps of 200keV. The angular analysis region was continuous from 50°to 90°in the center of mass system. An angular coherent width, at least 4n° was obtained. This long-range angular correlation could not be interpreted in the framework of the standard statistical reaction theory with state of equilibrium or near equilibrium, maybe it reveals the formation of a new kind of dissipative structure in the reaction of 27Al+27AI with the state that is far from equilibrium.展开更多

Subsequently, reconstruction algorithms restore image sequences of dynamic scenes, offering advantages such as reduced bandwidth and storage space requirements. The temporal correlation in video data is crucial for Video SCI, as it leverages the temporal relationships among frames to enhance the efficiency and quality of reconstruction algorithms, particularly for fast-moving objects.This paper discretizes video frames to create image datasets with the same data volume but differing temporal correlations. We utilized the state-of-the-art(SOTA) reconstruction framework, EfficientSCI++, to train various compressed reconstruction models with these differing temporal correlations. Evaluating the reconstruction results from these models, our simulation experiments confirm that a reduction in temporal correlation leads to decreased reconstruction accuracy. Additionally, we simulated the reconstruction outcomes of datasets devoid of temporal correlation, illustrating that models trained on non-temporal data affect the temporal feature extraction capabilities of transformers, resulting in negligible impacts on the evaluation of reconstruction results for non-temporal correlation test datasets.展开更多

文摘Air temperature(AT) is a subsystem of a complex climate.Long-range correlation(LRC) is an important feature of complexity.Our research attempt to evaluate AT’s complexity differences in different land-use types in the Heihe River Basin(HRB) based on the stability and LRC.The results show the following:(1) AT’s stability presents differences in different land-use types.In agricultural land,there is no obvious variation in the trend throughout the year.Whereas in a desert,the variation in the trend is obvious: the AT is more stable in summer than it is in winter,with Ta ranges of [8,20]°C and SD of the AT residual ranges of [0.2,0.7],respectively.Additionally,in mountainous areas,when the altitude is beyond a certain value,AT’s stability changes.(2) AT’s LRC presents differences in different land-use types.In agricultural land,the long-range correlation of AT is the most persistent throughout the year,showing the smallest difference between summer and winter,with the Hs range of [0.8,1].Vegetation could be an important factor.In a desert,the long-range correlation of AT is less persistent,showing the greatest difference between summer and winter,with the Hs range of [0.54,0.96].Solar insolation could be a dominant factor.In an alpine meadow,the long-range correlation of AT is the least persistent throughout the year,presenting a smaller difference between summer and winter,with the Hs range of [0.6,0.85].Altitude could be an important factor.(3) Usually,LRC is a combination of the Ta and SD of the AT residuals.A larger Ta and smaller SD of the AT residual would be conducive to a more persistent LRC,whereas a smaller Ta and larger SD of the AT residual would limit the persistence of LRC.A larger Ta and SD of the AT residual would create persistence to a degree between those of the first two cases,as would a smaller Ta and SD of the AT residual.In addition,the last two cases might show the same LRC.
文摘BACKGROUND Anxiety,depression,and other negative emotions are common among patients with chronic renal failure(CRF).Analyzing the factors related to negative emotions is necessary to provide targeted nursing care.AIM To explore the correlations among life satisfaction,pleasure levels,and negative emotions in patients with CRF.METHODS One hundred patients with CRF who received therapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University between December 2022 and February 2025 were included.The Depression,Anxiety,and Stress Scale(DASS-21),Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS),and Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale(TEPS)were used to evaluate negative emotions,life satisfaction,and pleasure level,respectively.Pearson’s correlation coefficient analyzed the correlation between life satisfaction,pleasure level,and negative emotions.Linear regression analysis identified the factors affecting negative emotions.RESULTS The average DASS-21 score among patients with CRF was 51.90±2.30,with subscale scores of 17.90±1.50 for depression,18.53±1.18 for anxiety,and 15.47±2.36 for stress,all significantly higher than the domestic norm(P<0.05).The average SWLS score was 22.17±4.90.Correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between the SWLS and total DASS-21 scores(P<0.05),but not with the individual depression,anxiety,or stress dimensions.The average TEPS score was 67.80±8.34.TEPS scores were negatively correlated with the DASS-21 score and the stress dimension(P<0.05),but not with depression or anxiety.Linear regression analysis showed that TEPS scores significantly influenced DASS-21 scores(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Patients with CRF experience high levels of negative emotions,which are negatively correlated with life satisfaction and pleasure.Furthermore,pleasure level had an impact on negative emotions.

文摘A double-well potential model is established to explain the dielectric anomaly of ferroelectrics. The dielectric constant consists of two parts. One part is independent of the long-range correlation, following 1/T law. The other part originates from the long-range correlation, and can be described by the correlation length well. The deviation from Curie-Weiss law in a small size sample originates from the decrease of the long-range correlation.

文摘Within the framework of Ginzburg Landau theory, the effect of multiplicity correlation between the dynamical multiplicity fluctuations is analyzed for a first-order phase ~ransition from quark gluon plasma to hadrons. Normalized factorial correlators are used to study the correlated dynamical fluctuations. A scaling behavior is found among the factorial correlators, and an approximate universal exponent, which is weakly dependent on the details of the phase transition, is obtained.

文摘We propose and experimentally demonstrate a long-range chaotic Brillouin optical correlation domain analysis by employing an optimized time-gated scheme and differential denoising configuration,where the number of effective resolving points largely increases to more than one million.The deterioration of the chaotic Brillouin gain spectrum(BGS)and limitation of sensing range owing to the intrinsic noise structure,resulting from the time delay signature(TDS)and nonzero background of chaotic laser,is theoretically analyzed.The optimized time-gated scheme with a higher extinction ratio is used to eliminate the TDS-induced impact.The signal-to-background ratio of the measured BGS is enhanced by the differential denoising scheme to furthest remove the accumulated nonzero noise floor along the fiber,and the pure chaotic BGS is ulteriorly obtained by the Lorentz fit.Ultimately,distributed strain sensing along a 27.54-km fiber with a 2.69-cm spatial resolution is experimentally demonstrated,and the number of effective resolving points is more than 1,020,000.

文摘A 8-year time series of 8-day Seaviewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) data, which spans from Oct 1997 to Oct 2005, was used to study the temporal correlations and scaling behaviour of ocean chlorophyll fluctuations in the South China Sea (SCS) by means of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). Long-range correlations in chlorophyll fluctuations were detected in almost all the SCS. The scaling exponents vary over a wide range from 0.5 to 1.14, with an average value of 0.79. High values are found in the upwelling regions, such as the northwest of Luzon and the north of Sunda Shelf. Low values occur in the southwest of Luzon, the east of Hainan Island and a majority of the southern SCS. This spatial pattern is considerably different from that of the scaling exponents of the sea surface temperature (SST) time series. It is also demonstrated that SST exhibits more persistence than chlorophyll in almost all the SCS.

文摘We study numerically the electronic properties of one-dimensional systems with long-range correlated binary potentials. The potentials are mapped from binary sequences with a power-law power spectrum over the entire frequency range, which is characterized by correlation exponent β. We find the localization length ζ increases withβ. At system sizes N →∞, there are no extended states. However, there exists a transition at a threshold ζ. Whenβ 〉 βc, we obtain ζ 〉 0. On the other hand, at finite system sizes, ζ≥ N may happen at certain β, which makes the system ＂metallic＂, and the upper-bound system size N＊ （β） is given.
文摘Ten physical and environmental variables collected from an on-the-go soil sensor at two field sites (MF3E and MF11S) in Mississippi, USA, were analyzed to assess soil variability and the interrelationships among the measurements. At MF3E, moderate variability was observed in apparent electrical conductivity shallow (ECas), slope, and ECa ratio measurements, with coefficients of variation ranging from 20% to 27%. In contrast, MF11S exhibited higher variability, particularly in ECas and ECad (deep) measurements, which exceeded 30% in their coefficient of variation values, indicating significant differences in soil composition and moisture content. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between the near-infrared-to-red ratio and red reflectance (r = 0.897***) soil values at MF3E. MF11S demonstrated a strong negative correlation between ECas and ECad readings with the x-coordinate (r ***). Scatter plots and fitted models illustrated the complexity of relationships, with many showing nonlinear trends. These findings emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and advanced modeling to understand the dynamic nature of soil properties and their implications for agricultural practices. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms driving variability in the soil characteristics to enhance soil management strategies at the study sites.

文摘Angular correlation of excitation functions in dissipative heavy ion collision 27Al+27Al has been measured. The incident beam energies ranged from 114MeV to 127MeV in steps of 200keV. The angular analysis region was continuous from 50°to 90°in the center of mass system. An angular coherent width, at least 4n° was obtained. This long-range angular correlation could not be interpreted in the framework of the standard statistical reaction theory with state of equilibrium or near equilibrium, maybe it reveals the formation of a new kind of dissipative structure in the reaction of 27Al+27AI with the state that is far from equilibrium.

文摘Since antiquity,humans have been involved in designing materials through alloying strategies to meet the ever-growing technological demands.In 2004,this endeavor witnessed a significant breakthrough with the discovery of high-entropy alloys(HEAs)comprising multi-principal elements.Owing to the four“core-effects”,these alloys exhibit exceptional properties including better structural stability,high strength and ductility,improved fatigue/fracture toughness,high corrosion and oxidation resistance,superconductiv-ity,magnetic properties,and good thermal properties.Different synthesis routes have been designed and used to meet the properties of interest for particular applications with varying dimensions.How-ever,HEAs are providing new opportunities and challenges for computational modelling of the complex structure-property correlations and in predictions of phase stability necessary for optimum performance of the alloy.Several attempts have been made to understand these alloys by empirical and computa-tional models,and data-driven approaches to accelerate the materials discovery with a desired set of properties.The present review discusses advances and inferences from simulations and models spanning multiple length and time scales explaining a comprehensive set of structure-properties relations.Addi-tionally,the role of machine learning approaches is also reviewed,underscoring the transformative role of computational modelling in unravelling the multifaceted properties and applications of HEAs,and the scope for future efforts in this direction.
文摘Geomagnetic observatory data are crucial for all branches of geophysics because they can contribute to earthquake research by detecting anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field.Recently,data records from the Misallat(MLT)and Abu Simbel(ABS)Egyptian geomagnetic observatories were processed and found to be of good quality.In this study,Egyptian observatory data were tested during both quiet and disturbed events and compared with data from INTERMAGNET observatories worldwide at different latitudes and within a narrow range of longitudes in both hemispheres.This study investigated the relationships between magnetic field components from Egyptian observatories and those from INTERMAGNET observatories using graphical representations of the X components;Pearson’s correlation for the X,Y,Z,and F components;cross-correlation for the X component;and wavelet coherence for the F component.The results of this study showed a high correlation between Egyptian observatories and all utilized INTERMAGNET stations,except those located at high latitudes,during both quiet and disturbed events.Additionally,the study confirmed the observed consistency between Egyptian observatories and selected INTERMAGNET stations.Therefore,Egyptian observatories can feasibly fill the gap in the Middle East and North Africa.
文摘BACKGROUND Resilience is an individual’s ability and psychological rebound capacity to adapt well after experiencing adversity,trauma,etc.Patients with strong resilience can face illnesses actively.AIM To determine the association of resilience with coping styles and quality of life in patients with malignancies.METHODS This study included patients with malignant tumors who were hospitalized at Fuyang Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from March 2022 to March 2024.The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale,Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire,Social Support Rating Scale,and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 were utilized to assess patients’resilience,coping styles,social support,and quality of life,respectively.Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to assess the correlations.RESULTS A total of 175 patients with malignant tumors demonstrated no marked difference in terms of age,education level,employment status,monthly household income,and disease staging(P<0.05).Further,patients with malignancies demonstrated scores of 17.49±1.20,17.27±1.46,and 11.19±1.29 points in terms of coping styles in confrontation,avoidance,and resignation dimensions,respectively.Subjective support,objective support,and support utilization scores in terms of social support were 10.67±1.80,11.26±2.08,and 9.24±1.14 points,respectively.The total resilience score and tenacity,self-improvement,and optimism dimension scores were positively correlatedwith the confrontation coping style score,whereas the total resilience score and tenacity and self-improvementscores were negatively associated with avoidance and resignation coping style scores(P<0.05).The total resiliencescore and the tenacity dimension score were positively associated with physical,role,cognitive,emotional,andsocial functions,as well as global health status(P<0.05),and were inversely related to fatigue,insomnia,andeconomic difficulties(P<0.05).CONCLUSIONThe resilience of patients with malignancies is positively associated with the confrontation dimension in the copingstyle,the total and various social support domain scores,and the overall quality of life.Clinical medical staff needto pay attention to the effect of medical coping styles and social support on the resilience level of patients withmalignancies to further improve their quality of life.

文摘Video snapshot compressive imaging(Video SCI) modulates scenes using various encoding masks and captures compressed measurements with a low-speed camera during a single exposure. Subsequently, reconstruction algorithms restore image sequences of dynamic scenes, offering advantages such as reduced bandwidth and storage space requirements. The temporal correlation in video data is crucial for Video SCI, as it leverages the temporal relationships among frames to enhance the efficiency and quality of reconstruction algorithms, particularly for fast-moving objects.This paper discretizes video frames to create image datasets with the same data volume but differing temporal correlations. We utilized the state-of-the-art(SOTA) reconstruction framework, EfficientSCI++, to train various compressed reconstruction models with these differing temporal correlations. Evaluating the reconstruction results from these models, our simulation experiments confirm that a reduction in temporal correlation leads to decreased reconstruction accuracy. Additionally, we simulated the reconstruction outcomes of datasets devoid of temporal correlation, illustrating that models trained on non-temporal data affect the temporal feature extraction capabilities of transformers, resulting in negligible impacts on the evaluation of reconstruction results for non-temporal correlation test datasets.

文摘The Fushan Depression is one of the petroliferous depressions in the Beibuwan Basin,South China Sea.Previous studies have preliminarily explored the origin and source of crude oils in some areas of this depression.Nevertheless,no systematic investigations on the classification and origin of oils and hy-drocarbon migration processes have been made for the entire petroleum system in this depression,which has significantly hindered the hydrocarbon exploration in the region.A total of 32 mudstone and 58 oil samples from the Fushan Depression were analyzed to definite the detailed oil-source correlation within the sequence and sedimentary framework.The organic matter of third member of Paleogene Liushagang Formation(Els(3))source rocks,both deltaic and lacustrine mudstone,are algal-dominated with high abundance of C_(23)tricyclic terpane and C_(30)4-methylsteranes.The deltaic source rocks occur-ring in the first member(Els_(1))and second member(Els_(2))of the Paleogene Liushagang Formation are characterized by high abundance of C_(19+20)tricyclic terpane and oleanane,reflecting a more terrestrial plants contribution.While lacustrine source rocks of Els_(1)and Els_(2)display the reduced input of terrige-nous organic matter with relatively low abundance of C 19+20 tricyclic terpane and oleanane.Three types of oils were identified by their biomarker compositions in this study.Most of the oils discovered in the Huachang and Bailian Els_(1)reservoir belong to group A and were derived from lacustrine source rocks of Els_(1)and Els_(2).Group B oils are found within the Els_(1)and Els_(2)reservoirs,showing a close relation to the deltaic source rocks of Els_(1)and Els_(2),respectively.Group C oils,occurring in the Els3 reservoirs,have a good affinity with the Els3 source rocks.The spatial distribution and accumulation of different groups of oils are mainly controlled by the sedimentary facies and specific structural conditions.The Els_(2)reservoir in the Yong'an area belonging to Group B oil,are adjacent to the source kitchen and could be considered as the favorable exploration area in the future.

文摘Passive acoustic monitoring(PAM)technology is increasingly becoming one of the mainstream methods for bird monitoring.However,detecting bird audio within complex natural acoustic environments using PAM devices remains a significant challenge.To enhance the accuracy(ACC)of bird audio detection(BAD)and reduce both false negatives and false positives,this study proposes a BAD method based on a Dual-Feature Enhancement Fusion Model(DFEFM).This method incorporates per-channel energy normalization(PCEN)to suppress noise in the input audio and utilizes mel-frequency cepstral coefficients(MFCC)and frequency correlation matrices(FCM)as input features.It achieves deep feature-level fusion of MFCC and FCM on the channel dimension through two independent multi-layer convolutional network branches,and further integrates Spatial and Channel Synergistic Attention(SCSA)and Multi-Head Attention(MHA)modules to enhance the fusion effect of the aforementioned two deep features.Experimental results on the DCASE2018 BAD dataset show that our proposed method achieved an ACC of 91.4%and an AUC value of 0.963,with false negative and false positive rates of 11.36%and 7.40%,respectively,surpassing existing methods.The method also demonstrated detection ACC above 92%and AUC values above 0.987 on datasets from three sites of different natural scenes in Beijing.Testing on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano indicated that the method achieved an ACC of 89.48%when processing an average of 10 s of audio,with a response time of only 0.557 s,showing excellent processing efficiency.This study provides an effective method for filtering non-bird vocalization audio in bird vocalization monitoring devices,which helps to save edge storage and information transmission costs,and has significant application value for wild bird monitoring and ecological research.
