Three ranges of moisture content including 14%-17%, 17% -20%, and 20%-23% （wb） were considered in this study. Bale densities considered in this research were 110-120, 120-130, 130-140, and 140-150 kg/m3. The study was conducted in the form of a split-plot experimental design with three replications and a small rectangular baler was used to bale the second cut alfalfa. Alfalfa losses were measured in the pickup system and compression chamber of baler and losses were separated to stems and leaves. Alfalfa losses were also determined during the bale transportation process. Results showed that alfalfa moisture content had significant effect on the leaf and stem losses of the baler pickup system and alfalfa losses during the transportation process while; leaf and stem losses of baler compression chamber were not affected by alfalfa moisture content. Results also revealed that the bale density had no significant effect on the leaf and stem losses of the baler pickup system and alfalfa losses during the transportation process but leaf and stem losses of baler compression chamber were significantly affected by the bale density.展开更多

文摘[Objective] Nitrogen and phosphorus losses of surface runoff in various crop rotation systems in the north of Erhai Lake basin were studied with the objective to provide references for risk evaluation of environmental pollution and formulating countermeasures to control the nonpoint source pollution from agriculture.[Method] Water samples collected in four typical crop rotation systems distributed in seven towns（townships） in the north of Erhai Lake basin were investigated,as well as the fertilizer input,to explore the dynamic change of nitrogen and phosphorus content in surface water of farmland and ditch water,and the correlation between fertilizer input and the concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in the surface water of farmland and in the ditch water.[Result] The results showed that nitrogen loss in surface water of farmland in different crop rotation systems differed greatly,and the risk of nitrogen loss was 38% lower in broad bean-rice crop rotation than that in garlic-rice crop rotation.The water soluble nitrogen was the primary form of nitrogen loss.The content of water soluble nitrogen was significantly higher in garlic-rice crop rotation than that in the other rotation systems,and the concentrations of nitrogen in the surface water of farmland in different crop rotation systems followed the sequence below：garlic-rice crop rotationryegrass-rice crop rotationbroad bean-rice crop rotationrape-rice crop rotation.The loss of phosphorus in the surface water of farmland was relatively low and phosphorus combined with silt was the primary form for phosphorus loss.There was no significant difference of the loss of various forms of phosphorus in different crop rotation systems.The contents of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the surface water of farmland were higher than that in ditch water,with increasing rates of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in ditch water of 72% and 82%,respectively.Topdressing was the critical reason for the high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in the surface water,which also caused the increasing load to the ditch water.[Conclusion] Both the nitrogen and phosphorus loss were the highest in garlic-rice crop rotation.Reasonable crop rotation systems should be established based on both the environmental and economic benefits.This study provided references for controlling the nonpoint source pollution of farmland and improving the water quality of Erhai Lake.
文摘A 3-D FEA （finite element analysis） transient and steady-state design proposal for high-speed with Nd-Fe-Br （reversible） magnets in aerospace application will be examined under design considerations of n = 12,000 rpm, short-duty, sinusoidal drive, low cogging, high efficiency at peak torque, and etc. for an ARWM （aerospace retraction wheel motor）. In construction, the PMs （permanent magnets） fixed on the rotor core which is surface-mOunted magnets retained by a carbon-fiber bandage. Redundant windings, resistant to fault propagation have accounted. Besides, an axial water-jacket housing without end-cap cooling has involved. All performed characteristic performances of the correlated ARWM will verify by comparison through 2-D and 3-D FEA results. In this paper, design process has dealing with determination of various kinds of losses such as electromagnetic and mechanical losses. In terms of both classified losses, copper, stator back iron, stator tooth, PM, rotor back iron, air-friction and sleeve losses were calculated. The 3-D end-winding effects were included in the modeled ARWM by the authors.

文摘Remote sensing image super-resolution technology is pivotal for enhancing image quality in critical applications including environmental monitoring,urban planning,and disaster assessment.However,traditional methods exhibit deficiencies in detail recovery and noise suppression,particularly when processing complex landscapes(e.g.,forests,farmlands),leading to artifacts and spectral distortions that limit practical utility.To address this,we propose an enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network(SRGAN)framework featuring three key innovations:(1)Replacement of L1/L2 loss with a robust Charbonnier loss to suppress noise while preserving edge details via adaptive gradient balancing;(2)A multi-loss joint optimization strategy dynamically weighting Charbonnier loss(β=0.5),Visual Geometry Group(VGG)perceptual loss(α=1),and adversarial loss(γ=0.1)to synergize pixel-level accuracy and perceptual quality;(3)A multi-scale residual network(MSRN)capturing cross-scale texture features(e.g.,forest canopies,mountain contours).Validated on Sentinel-2(10 m)and SPOT-6/7(2.5 m)datasets covering 904 km2 in Motuo County,Xizang,our method outperforms the SRGAN baseline(SR4RS)with Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR)gains of 0.29 dB and Structural Similarity Index(SSIM)improvements of 3.08%on forest imagery.Visual comparisons confirm enhanced texture continuity despite marginal Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity(LPIPS)increases.The method significantly improves noise robustness and edge retention in complex geomorphology,demonstrating 18%faster response in forest fire early warning and providing high-resolution support for agricultural/urban monitoring.Future work will integrate spectral constraints and lightweight architectures.
文摘Tinnitus:the hearing of a sound that has not been produced by any external or internal source,is a rather heterogeneous hearing disorder.Background/Objectives:Hearing loss has been shown to be the main risk factor for tinnitus while emotional disorders are risk factors for developing intrusive or bothersome tinnitus.Moreover,aging has also been identified as another risk factor.The aim of this paper was to analyse the correlation between hearing loss,age and tinnitus severity in a cohort of 610 tinnitus sufferers.Methods:Age,audiometric(hearing condition)and tinnitus(time duration and severity)data were assessed and analysed for all subjects just after recruiting(baseline).Furthermore,the average hearing loss(HL)curves of the participants for age groups were compared to these with the corresponding Age Related HL(ARHL).Results:For most of the age groups,the measured HL curves exceeded in 10-20 dB those of the ARHL.The average age of tinnitus onset(age minus tinnitus duration)was found to be 44-46 years in both men and women.Weak correlation between audiometric feature and tinnitus distress was observed.Conclusions:Hearing loss has been shown to be a clear risk factor for triggering tinnitus(86%of participants were hearing impaired).In this cohort,average measures of hearing loss showed,at most,weak associations with tinnitus-related distress,suggesting that non-audiological factors may play a predominant role.
文摘Background:Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection common in Mediterranean countries and the Middle East.Neurological involvement,although rare,can lead to severe complications,including sensorineural hearing loss(SNHL).This case is particularly noteworthy as it highlights irreversible auditory nerve damage in brucellosis,emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent permanent neurological consequences.The novelty of this case lies in the severity of auditory involvement despite timely treatment.Case Presentation:A 43-year-old male farmer of Maghrebi origin presented with neurobrucellosis complicated by severe,irreversible bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.The patient initially reported symptoms of hearing loss and dizziness,which were confirmed to be associated with auditory nerve involvement.Wright's serology and polymerase chain reaction(PCR)testing confirmed brucellosis.Despite appropriate and prolonged antibiotic therapy,including drugs that penetrate the meningeal barrier and act intracellularly,the patient's auditory impairment remained permanent.The patient is currently a candidate for cochlear implantation to manage his severe hearing loss.Neurological symptoms did not improve with treatment,but cochlear implantation may offer a potential solution to his hearing deficit.Conclusions:This case highlights the importance of early recognition and intervention in brucellosis cases,particularly those with neurological involvement.Delayed diagnosis and treatment can result in irreversible neurological damage.It also underscores the potential for cochlear implantation in patients with severe,irreversible sensorineural hearing loss caused by neurobrucellosis.Cochlear implantation offers an important solution for patients with brucellosis-related hearing deficits,improving their quality of life despite the neurological damage caused by the infection.
文摘In order to reduce alfalfa losses, the effect of bale density and alfalfa moisture content on the losses of baled alfalfa during the baling and transportation process was determined in this study. Three ranges of moisture content including 14%-17%, 17% -20%, and 20%-23% （wb） were considered in this study. Bale densities considered in this research were 110-120, 120-130, 130-140, and 140-150 kg/m3. The study was conducted in the form of a split-plot experimental design with three replications and a small rectangular baler was used to bale the second cut alfalfa. Alfalfa losses were measured in the pickup system and compression chamber of baler and losses were separated to stems and leaves. Alfalfa losses were also determined during the bale transportation process. Results showed that alfalfa moisture content had significant effect on the leaf and stem losses of the baler pickup system and alfalfa losses during the transportation process while; leaf and stem losses of baler compression chamber were not affected by alfalfa moisture content. Results also revealed that the bale density had no significant effect on the leaf and stem losses of the baler pickup system and alfalfa losses during the transportation process but leaf and stem losses of baler compression chamber were significantly affected by the bale density.

文摘Automated classification of gas flow states in blast furnaces using top-camera imagery typically demands a large volume of labeled data,whose manual annotation is both labor-intensive and cost-prohibitive.To mitigate this challenge,we present an enhanced semi-supervised learning approach based on the Mean Teacher framework,incorporating a novel feature loss module to maximize classification performance with limited labeled samples.The model studies show that the proposed model surpasses both the baseline Mean Teacher model and fully supervised method in accuracy.Specifically,for datasets with 20%,30%,and 40%label ratios,using a single training iteration,the model yields accuracies of 78.61%,82.21%,and 85.2%,respectively,while multiple-cycle training iterations achieves 82.09%,81.97%,and 81.59%,respectively.Furthermore,scenario-specific training schemes are introduced to support diverse deployment need.These findings highlight the potential of the proposed technique in minimizing labeling requirements and advancing intelligent blast furnace diagnostics.

文摘The emergence of precision electronic devices and wearable electronic products urgently requires high-performance multifunctional electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbers to meet the applicability and versatility in various applications.Herein,a dual-network(DN)gel was successfully prepared using acrylamide and sodium lignosulphonate as the basic units by simple chemical cross-linking and physical cross-linking methods.Specifically,the hydrogel forms two types of cross-linking networks through metal coordination and hydrogen bonding.Benefiting from the combined effects of dipole polarization and conductivity loss,the gel achieves an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 6.74 GHz at a thickness of only 1.89 mm,demonstrating excellent EMW absorption performance.In addition,this unique structural configuration endows the EMW absorber with multifunctional features,such as remarkable tensile strength,good environmental compatibility,ultraviolet(UV)resistance,and excellent adhesion.Integrating multiple functional features into the EMW gels displays a broad application prospect in a variety of application scenarios.This research reveals the significance of DN structure design in the electromagnetic wave absorption(EWA)performance of gel-based materials,providing a substantial foundation for the multifunctional design of gel-based absorbers.
