SGS values esti- mated using the four methods show similar spatial patterns along latitudinal or altitudinal gradients, but with significant variations in the SGS dates. The largest discrepancies are mainly found in the regions with the highest or the lowest vegetation coverage. Between 1982 and 1998, the SGS values derived from the four methods all display an advancing trend, however, according to the more recent SPOT VGT data （1999-2012）, there is no continu- ously advancing trend of SGS on the TP. Analysis of the correlation between the SGS values derived from GIMMS and SPOT between 1999 and 2006 demonstrates consistency in the tendency with regard both to the data sources and to the four analysis methods used. Com- pared with other methods, the greatest consistency between the in situ data and the SGS values retrieved is obtained with Method 3 （Threshold of NDVI ratio）. To avoid error, in a vast region with diverse vegetation types and physical environments, it is critical to know the seasonal change characteristics of the different vegetation types, particularly in areas with sparse grassland or evergreen forest.展开更多

The global population is expected to reach ten billion by 2050, which will promote increasingly large demands for clean and high-ef ciency energy, personalized consumer prod- ucts, secure food supplies, and professional healthcare. New functional materials that are made and tai- lored for targeted properties or behaviors will be the key to tackling this challenge. Traditionally, advanced materials are found empirically or through experimental trial-and-error approaches. As big data generated by modern experimental and computational techniques is becoming more readily avail- able, data-driven or machine learning (ML) methods have opened new paradigms for the discovery and rational design of materials. In this review article, we provide a brief introduction on various ML methods and related software or tools. Main ideas and basic procedures for employing ML approaches in materials research are highlighted. We then summarize recent important applications of ML for the large-scale screening and optimal design of polymer and porous materials, catalytic materials, and energetic mate- rials. Finally, concluding remarks and an outlook are provided.展开更多

This article introduces the main processing method, algorithm, and processing procedure of the HPM data. First, the FGM and CDSM probes are calibrated according to ground sensor data. Then the FGM linear parameters can be corrected in orbit, by applying the absolute vector magnetic field correction algorithm from CDSM data. At the same time, the magnetic interference of the satellite is eliminated according to ground-satellite magnetic test results. Finally, according to the characteristics of the magnetic field direction in the low latitude region, the transformation matrix between FGM probe and star sensor is calibrated in orbit to determine the correct direction of the magnetic field. Comparing the magnetic field data of CSES and SWARM satellites in five continuous geomagnetic quiet days, the difference in measurements of the vector magnetic field is about 10 nT, which is within the uncertainty interval of geomagnetic disturbance.展开更多

文摘Accurate acquisition and prediction of acoustic parameters of seabed sediments are crucial in marine sound propagation research.While the relationship between sound velocity and physical properties of sediment has been extensively studied,there is still no consensus on the correlation between acoustic attenuation coefficient and sediment physical properties.Predicting the acoustic attenuation coefficient remains a challenging issue in sedimentary acoustic research.In this study,we propose a prediction method for the acoustic attenuation coefficient using machine learning algorithms,specifically the random forest(RF),support vector machine(SVR),and convolutional neural network(CNN)algorithms.We utilized the acoustic attenuation coefficient and sediment particle size data from 52 stations as training parameters,with the particle size parameters as the input feature matrix,and measured acoustic attenuation as the training label to validate the attenuation prediction model.Our results indicate that the error of the attenuation prediction model is small.Among the three models,the RF model exhibited the lowest prediction error,with a mean squared error of 0.8232,mean absolute error of 0.6613,and root mean squared error of 0.9073.Additionally,when we applied the models to predict the data collected at different times in the same region,we found that the models developed in this study also demonstrated a certain level of reliability in real prediction scenarios.Our approach demonstrates that constructing a sediment acoustic characteristics model based on machine learning is feasible to a certain extent and offers a novel perspective for studying sediment acoustic properties.

文摘When assessing seismic liquefaction potential with data-driven models,addressing the uncertainties of establishing models,interpreting cone penetration tests(CPT)data and decision threshold is crucial for avoiding biased data selection,ameliorating overconfident models,and being flexible to varying practical objectives,especially when the training and testing data are not identically distributed.A workflow characterized by leveraging Bayesian methodology was proposed to address these issues.Employing a Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP)as the foundational model,this approach was benchmarked against empirical methods and advanced algorithms for its efficacy in simplicity,accuracy,and resistance to overfitting.The analysis revealed that,while MLP models optimized via maximum a posteriori algorithm suffices for straightforward scenarios,Bayesian neural networks showed great potential for preventing overfitting.Additionally,integrating decision thresholds through various evaluative principles offers insights for challenging decisions.Two case studies demonstrate the framework's capacity for nuanced interpretation of in situ data,employing a model committee for a detailed evaluation of liquefaction potential via Monte Carlo simulations and basic statistics.Overall,the proposed step-by-step workflow for analyzing seismic liquefaction incorporates multifold testing and real-world data validation,showing improved robustness against overfitting and greater versatility in addressing practical challenges.This research contributes to the seismic liquefaction assessment field by providing a structured,adaptable methodology for accurate and reliable analysis.

文摘Accurate determination of rockhead is crucial for underground construction.Traditionally,borehole data are mainly used for this purpose.However,borehole drilling is costly,time-consuming,and sparsely distributed.Non-invasive geophysical methods,particularly those using passive seismic surface waves,have emerged as viable alternatives for geological profiling and rockhead detection.This study proposes three interpretation methods for rockhead determination using passive seismic surface wave data from Microtremor Array Measurement(MAM)and Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio(HVSR)tests.These are:(1)the Wavelength-Normalized phase velocity(WN)method in which a nonlinear relationship between rockhead depth and wavelength is established;(2)the Statistically Determined-shear wave velocity(SD-V_(s))method in which the representative V_(s) value for rockhead is automatically determined using a statistical method;and(3)the empirical HVSR method in which the rockhead is determined by interpreting resonant frequencies using a reliably calibrated empirical equation.These methods were implemented to determine rockhead depths at 28 locations across two distinct geological formations in Singapore,and the results were evaluated using borehole data.The WN method can determine rockhead depths accurately and reliably with minimal absolute errors(average RMSE=3.11 m),demonstrating robust performance across both geological formations.Its advantage lies in interpreting dispersion curves alone,without the need for the inversion process.The SD-V_(s) method is practical in engineering practice owing to its simplicity.The empirical HVSR method reasonably determines rockhead depths with moderate accuracy,benefiting from a reliably calibrated empirical equation.

文摘Snow cover plays a critical role in global climate regulation and hydrological processes.Accurate monitoring is essential for understanding snow distribution patterns,managing water resources,and assessing the impacts of climate change.Remote sensing has become a vital tool for snow monitoring,with the widely used Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)snow products from the Terra and Aqua satellites.However,cloud cover often interferes with snow detection,making cloud removal techniques crucial for reliable snow product generation.This study evaluated the accuracy of four MODIS snow cover datasets generated through different cloud removal algorithms.Using real-time field camera observations from four stations in the Tianshan Mountains,China,this study assessed the performance of these datasets during three distinct snow periods:the snow accumulation period(September-November),snowmelt period(March-June),and stable snow period(December-February in the following year).The findings showed that cloud-free snow products generated using the Hidden Markov Random Field(HMRF)algorithm consistently outperformed the others,particularly under cloud cover,while cloud-free snow products using near-day synthesis and the spatiotemporal adaptive fusion method with error correction(STAR)demonstrated varying performance depending on terrain complexity and cloud conditions.This study highlighted the importance of considering terrain features,land cover types,and snow dynamics when selecting cloud removal methods,particularly in areas with rapid snow accumulation and melting.The results suggested that future research should focus on improving cloud removal algorithms through the integration of machine learning,multi-source data fusion,and advanced remote sensing technologies.By expanding validation efforts and refining cloud removal strategies,more accurate and reliable snow products can be developed,contributing to enhanced snow monitoring and better management of water resources in alpine and arid areas.
文摘The rapid growth of biomedical data,particularly multi-omics data including genomes,transcriptomics,proteomics,metabolomics,and epigenomics,medical research and clinical decision-making confront both new opportunities and obstacles.The huge and diversified nature of these datasets cannot always be managed using traditional data analysis methods.As a consequence,deep learning has emerged as a strong tool for analysing numerous omics data due to its ability to handle complex and non-linear relationships.This paper explores the fundamental concepts of deep learning and how they are used in multi-omics medical data mining.We demonstrate how autoencoders,variational autoencoders,multimodal models,attention mechanisms,transformers,and graph neural networks enable pattern analysis and recognition across all omics data.Deep learning has been found to be effective in illness classification,biomarker identification,gene network learning,and therapeutic efficacy prediction.We also consider critical problems like as data quality,model explainability,whether findings can be repeated,and computational power requirements.We now consider future elements of combining omics with clinical and imaging data,explainable AI,federated learning,and real-time diagnostics.Overall,this study emphasises the need of collaborating across disciplines to advance deep learning-based multi-omics research for precision medicine and comprehending complicated disorders.
文摘High-throughput transcriptomics has evolved from bulk RNA-seq to single-cell and spatial profiling,yet its clinical translation still depends on effective integration across diverse omics and data modalities.Emerging foundation models and multimodal learning frameworks are enabling scalable and transferable representations of cellular states,while advances in interpretability and real-world data integration are bridging the gap between discovery and clinical application.This paper outlines a concise roadmap for AI-driven,transcriptome-centered multi-omics integration in precision medicine(Figure 1).

文摘Time series forecasting has become an important aspect of data analysis and has many real-world applications.However,undesirable missing values are often encountered,which may adversely affect many forecasting tasks.In this study,we evaluate and compare the effects of imputationmethods for estimating missing values in a time series.Our approach does not include a simulation to generate pseudo-missing data,but instead perform imputation on actual missing data and measure the performance of the forecasting model created therefrom.In an experiment,therefore,several time series forecasting models are trained using different training datasets prepared using each imputation method.Subsequently,the performance of the imputation methods is evaluated by comparing the accuracy of the forecasting models.The results obtained from a total of four experimental cases show that the k-nearest neighbor technique is the most effective in reconstructing missing data and contributes positively to time series forecasting compared with other imputation methods.

文摘In this study, we have used four methods to investigate the start of the growing season （SGS） on the Tibetan Plateau （TP） from 1982 to 2012, using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index （NDVI） data obtained from Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies （GIMSS, 1982-2006） and SPOT VEGETATION （SPOT-VGT, 1999-2012）. SGS values esti- mated using the four methods show similar spatial patterns along latitudinal or altitudinal gradients, but with significant variations in the SGS dates. The largest discrepancies are mainly found in the regions with the highest or the lowest vegetation coverage. Between 1982 and 1998, the SGS values derived from the four methods all display an advancing trend, however, according to the more recent SPOT VGT data （1999-2012）, there is no continu- ously advancing trend of SGS on the TP. Analysis of the correlation between the SGS values derived from GIMMS and SPOT between 1999 and 2006 demonstrates consistency in the tendency with regard both to the data sources and to the four analysis methods used. Com- pared with other methods, the greatest consistency between the in situ data and the SGS values retrieved is obtained with Method 3 （Threshold of NDVI ratio）. To avoid error, in a vast region with diverse vegetation types and physical environments, it is critical to know the seasonal change characteristics of the different vegetation types, particularly in areas with sparse grassland or evergreen forest.
文摘Materials development has historically been driven by human needs and desires, and this is likely to con- tinue in the foreseeable future. The global population is expected to reach ten billion by 2050, which will promote increasingly large demands for clean and high-ef ciency energy, personalized consumer prod- ucts, secure food supplies, and professional healthcare. New functional materials that are made and tai- lored for targeted properties or behaviors will be the key to tackling this challenge. Traditionally, advanced materials are found empirically or through experimental trial-and-error approaches. As big data generated by modern experimental and computational techniques is becoming more readily avail- able, data-driven or machine learning (ML) methods have opened new paradigms for the discovery and rational design of materials. In this review article, we provide a brief introduction on various ML methods and related software or tools. Main ideas and basic procedures for employing ML approaches in materials research are highlighted. We then summarize recent important applications of ML for the large-scale screening and optimal design of polymer and porous materials, catalytic materials, and energetic mate- rials. Finally, concluding remarks and an outlook are provided.

文摘The High Precision Magnetometer(HPM) on board the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite(CSES) allows highly accurate measurement of the geomagnetic field; it includes FGM(Fluxgate Magnetometer) and CDSM(Coupled Dark State Magnetometer)probes. This article introduces the main processing method, algorithm, and processing procedure of the HPM data. First, the FGM and CDSM probes are calibrated according to ground sensor data. Then the FGM linear parameters can be corrected in orbit, by applying the absolute vector magnetic field correction algorithm from CDSM data. At the same time, the magnetic interference of the satellite is eliminated according to ground-satellite magnetic test results. Finally, according to the characteristics of the magnetic field direction in the low latitude region, the transformation matrix between FGM probe and star sensor is calibrated in orbit to determine the correct direction of the magnetic field. Comparing the magnetic field data of CSES and SWARM satellites in five continuous geomagnetic quiet days, the difference in measurements of the vector magnetic field is about 10 nT, which is within the uncertainty interval of geomagnetic disturbance.
