This paper presents the neural exploration with feature-based visual odometry and tracking-failure-reduction policy(Ne OR), a framework for embodied visual exploration that possesses the efficient exploration capabilities of deep reinforcement learning(DRL)-based exploration policies and leverages feature-based visual odometry(VO) for more accurate mapping and positioning results. An improved local policy is also proposed to reduce tracking failures of feature-based VO in weakly textured scenes through a refined multi-discrete action space, keyframe fusion, and an auxiliary task. The experimental results demonstrate that Ne OR has better mapping and positioning accuracy compared to other entirely learning-based exploration frameworks and improves the robustness of feature-based VO by significantly reducing tracking failures in weakly textured scenes.展开更多

The map was constructed from an aeromagnetic image, and the geology was deduced from old geological maps. The procedure involved extracting the magnetic fabric and deducing the deformation gradients, which led to the identification of shear zones. Analysis and interpretation of the structural geometry of the obtained structural pattern led us to target areas of interference between structures or geology-structures interplays, which are conducive to the deposition of metallic elements. The subsequent overlay of known gold prospects and deposits documented in the region revealed the validity of the predefined prospects. This result reinforces the applicability of the methodology as a first-order regional approach to mineral exploration.展开更多

文摘The hardening mechanism of multi-component carbide ceramic has been investigated in detail through a combination of experiments,first-principles calculations,and ab initio molecular dynamics(AIMD).Eight dense carbide ceramics were prepared by spark plasma sintering.Compulsorily,all the multi-component carbide samples have similar carbon content,grain size,and uniform compositional distribution by optimizing the sintering process and adjusting the initial raw materials.Hence the interference of other factors on the hardness of multi-component carbide ceramics is minimized.The effects of changes in the elemental species on the lattice distortion,bond strength,bonding properties,and electronic structure of multi-component carbide ceramics were thoroughly analyzed.These results show that the hardening of multi-component carbide ceramic can be attributed to the coupling of solid solution strengthening caused by lattice distortion and covalent bond strengthening.Besides,the“host lattice”of multi-component carbide ceramics is defined based on the concept of supporting lattice.The present work is of great significance for a deeper understanding of the hardening mechanism of multi-component carbide ceramics and the design of superhard multi-component carbides.

文摘This study investigated proactive personality effects on employment preparation and the mediating roles of self-efficacy and career exploration behaviors in this relationship.The study sample comprised 445 university students(68.3%female;aged 20 to 24)from a university in central China.The participants completed measures to assess proactive personality,employment preparation,self-efficacy,and career exploration behaviors.Structural equation modeling analysis results indicated that proactive personality predicted higher employment preparation;Self-efficacy and career exploration behaviors partially mediated this relationship.Specifically,career exploration behaviors had a stronger mediating effect than self-efficacy on the total effect(34.71%vs.28.89%).The findings suggest proactive personality is key to employment preparation through self-belief and willingness to explore the job market.Higher education career counseling and mental health education programs should provide targeted training to promote career exploration by the student’s personal attributes for best match employment preparation.

文摘A convenient photocatalytic multi-component reaction of alkenes,quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones,and diazo compounds has been developed in the presence of water.A number of ester-containing quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones could be efficiently obtained in moderate to good yields at room temperature.This metal-free visiblelight-driven tandem reaction was conducted through proton-coupled electron transfer(PCET)process using water as the hydrogen donor and 1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene(4CzIPN)as the photocatalyst.
文摘Bubbles play crucial roles in various fields,including naval and ocean engineering,chemical engineering,and biochemical engineering.Numerous theoretical analyses,numerical simulations,and experimental studies have been conducted to reveal the mysteries of bubble motion and its mechanisms.These efforts have significantly advanced research in bubble dynamics,where theoretical study is an efficient method for bubble motion prediction.Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the theoretical model of single-bubble motion in incompressible fluid in 1917,theoretical studies have been pivotal in understanding bubble dynamics.This study provides a comprehensive review of the development and applicability of theoretical studies in bubble dynamics using typical theoretical bubble models across different periods as a focal point and an overview of bubble theory applications in underwater explosion,marine cavitation,and seismic exploration.This study aims to serve as a reference and catalyst for further advancements in theoretical analysis and practical applications of bubble theory across marine fields.

文摘Autonomous driving technology is constantly developing to a higher level of complex scenes,and there is a growing demand for the utilization of end-to-end data-driven control.However,the end-to-end path tracking process often encounters challenges in learning efficiency and generalization.To address this issue,this paper designs a deep deterministic policy gradient(DDPG)-based reinforcement learning strategy that integrates imitation learning and feedforward exploration in the path following process.In imitation learning,the path tracking control data generated by the model predictive control(MPC)method is used to train an end-to-end steering control model of a deep neural network.Another feedforward exploration behavior is predicted by road curvature and vehicle speed,and adds it and imitation learning to the DDPG reinforcement learning to obtain decision-making experience and action prediction behavior of the path tracking process.In the reinforcement learning process,imitation learning is used to update the pre-training parameters of the actor network,and a feedforward steering technique with random noise is adopted for strategy exploration.In the reward function,a hierarchical progressive reward form and a constrained objective reward function referring to MPC are designed,and the actor-critic network architecture is determined.Finally,the path tracking performance of the designed method is verified by comparing various training results,simulations,and HIL tests.The results show that the designed method can effectively utilize pre-training and feedforward prior experience to obtain optimal path tracking performance of an autonomous vehicle,and has better generalization ability than other methods.This study provides an efficient control scheme for improving the end-to-end control performance of autonomous vehicles.
