文摘Low-carbon smart parks achieve selfbalanced carbon emission and absorption through the cooperative scheduling of direct current(DC)-based distributed photovoltaic,energy storage units,and loads.Direct current power line communication(DC-PLC)enables real-time data transmission on DC power lines.With traffic adaptation,DC-PLC can be integrated with other complementary media such as 5G to reduce transmission delay and improve reliability.However,traffic adaptation for DC-PLC and 5G integration still faces the challenges such as coupling between traffic admission control and traffic partition,dimensionality curse,and the ignorance of extreme event occurrence.To address these challenges,we propose a deep reinforcement learning(DRL)-based delay sensitive and reliable traffic adaptation algorithm(DSRTA)to minimize the total queuing delay under the constraints of traffic admission control,queuing delay,and extreme events occurrence probability.DSRTA jointly optimizes traffic admission control and traffic partition,and enables learning-based intelligent traffic adaptation.The long-term constraints are incorporated into both state and bound of drift-pluspenalty to achieve delay awareness and enforce reliability guarantee.Simulation results show that DSRTA has lower queuing delay and more reliable quality of service(QoS)guarantee than other state-of-the-art algorithms.

文摘Fault diagnosis of rolling bearings is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of mechanical equipment and production safety in industrial environments.However,due to the nonlinearity and non-stationarity of collected vibration signals,single-modal methods struggle to capture fault features fully.This paper proposes a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on multi-modal information fusion.The method first employs the Hippopotamus Optimization Algorithm(HO)to optimize the number of modes in Variational Mode Decomposition(VMD)to achieve optimal modal decomposition performance.It combines Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)and Gated Recurrent Units(GRU)to extract temporal features from one-dimensional time-series signals.Meanwhile,the Markovian Transition Field(MTF)is used to transform one-dimensional signals into two-dimensional images for spatial feature mining.Through visualization techniques,the effectiveness of generated images from different parameter combinations is compared to determine the optimal parameter configuration.A multi-modal network(GSTCN)is constructed by integrating Swin-Transformer and the Convolutional Block Attention Module(CBAM),where the attention module is utilized to enhance fault features.Finally,the fault features extracted from different modalities are deeply fused and fed into a fully connected layer to complete fault classification.Experimental results show that the GSTCN model achieves an average diagnostic accuracy of 99.5%across three datasets,significantly outperforming existing comparison methods.This demonstrates that the proposed model has high diagnostic precision and good generalization ability,providing an efficient and reliable solution for rolling bearing fault diagnosis.
文摘Multimodal Sentiment Analysis(SA)is gaining popularity due to its broad application potential.The existing studies have focused on the SA of single modalities,such as texts or photos,posing challenges in effectively handling social media data with multiple modalities.Moreover,most multimodal research has concentrated on merely combining the two modalities rather than exploring their complex correlations,leading to unsatisfactory sentiment classification results.Motivated by this,we propose a new visualtextual sentiment classification model named Multi-Model Fusion(MMF),which uses a mixed fusion framework for SA to effectively capture the essential information and the intrinsic relationship between the visual and textual content.The proposed model comprises three deep neural networks.Two different neural networks are proposed to extract the most emotionally relevant aspects of image and text data.Thus,more discriminative features are gathered for accurate sentiment classification.Then,a multichannel joint fusion modelwith a self-attention technique is proposed to exploit the intrinsic correlation between visual and textual characteristics and obtain emotionally rich information for joint sentiment classification.Finally,the results of the three classifiers are integrated using a decision fusion scheme to improve the robustness and generalizability of the proposed model.An interpretable visual-textual sentiment classification model is further developed using the Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanation model(LIME)to ensure the model’s explainability and resilience.The proposed MMF model has been tested on four real-world sentiment datasets,achieving(99.78%)accuracy on Binary_Getty(BG),(99.12%)on Binary_iStock(BIS),(95.70%)on Twitter,and(79.06%)on the Multi-View Sentiment Analysis(MVSA)dataset.These results demonstrate the superior performance of our MMF model compared to single-model approaches and current state-of-the-art techniques based on model evaluation criteria.

文摘A dual-phase synergistic enhancement method was adopted to strengthen the Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)by leveraging the unique advantages of Er and TiB_(2).Spherical powders of 0.5wt%Er-1wt%TiB_(2)/Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr nanocomposite were prepared using vacuum homogenization technique,and the density of samples prepared through the LPBF process reached 99.8%.The strengthening and toughening mechanisms of Er-TiB_(2)were investigated.The results show that Al_(3)Er diffraction peaks are detected by X-ray diffraction analysis,and texture strength decreases according to electron backscatter diffraction results.The added Er and TiB_(2)nano-reinforcing phases act as heterogeneous nucleation sites during the LPBF forming process,hindering grain growth and effectively refining the grains.After incorporating the Er-TiB_(2)dual-phase nano-reinforcing phases,the tensile strength and elongation at break of the LPBF-deposited samples reach 550 MPa and 18.7%,which are 13.4%and 26.4%higher than those of the matrix material,respectively.

文摘BACKGROUND Lumbar interbody fusion(LIF)is the primary treatment for lumbar degenerative diseases.Elderly patients are prone to anxiety and depression after undergoing surgery,which affects their postoperative recovery speed and quality of life.Effective prevention of anxiety and depression in elderly patients has become an urgent problem.AIM To investigate the trajectory of anxiety and depression levels in elderly patients after LIF,and the influencing factors.METHODS Random sampling was used to select 239 elderly patients who underwent LIF from January 2020 to December 2024 in Shenzhen Pingle Orthopedic Hospital.General information and surgery-related indices were recorded,and participants completed measures of psychological status,lumbar spine dysfunction,and quality of life.A latent class growth model was used to analyze the post-LIF trajectory of anxiety and depression levels,and unordered multi-categorical logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors.RESULTS Three trajectories of change in anxiety level were identified:Increasing anxiety(n=26,10.88%),decreasing anxiety(n=27,11.30%),and stable anxiety(n=186,77.82%).Likewise,three trajectories of change in depression level were identified:Increasing depression(n=30,12.55%),decreasing depression(n=26,10.88%),and stable depression(n=183,76.57%).Regression analysis showed that having no partner,female sex,elevated Oswestry dysfunction index(ODI)scores,and reduced 36-Item Short Form Health Survey scores all contributed to increased anxiety levels,whereas female sex,postoperative opioid use,and elevated ODI scores all contributed to increased depression levels.CONCLUSION During clinical observation,combining factors to predict anxiety and depression in post-LIF elderly patients enables timely intervention,quickens recovery,and enhances quality of life.
文摘BACKGROUND Salvage of the infected long stem revision total knee arthroplasty is challenging due to the presence of well-fixed ingrown or cemented stems.Reconstructive options are limited.Above knee amputation(AKA)is often recommended.We present a surgical technique that was successfully used on four such patients to convert them to a knee fusion(KF)using a cephalomedullary nail.CASE SUMMARY Four patients with infected long stem revision knee replacements that refused AKA had a single stage removal of their infected revision total knee followed by a KF.They were all treated with a statically locked antegrade cephalomedullary fusion nail,augmented with antibiotic impregnated bone cement.All patients had successful limb salvage and were ambulatory with assistive devices at the time of last follow-up.All were infection free at an average follow-up of 25.5 months(range 16-31).CONCLUSION Single stage cephalomedullary nailing can result in a successful KF in patients with infected long stem revision total knees.

文摘Impact craters are important for understanding the evolution of lunar geologic and surface erosion rates,among other functions.However,the morphological characteristics of these micro impact craters are not obvious and they are numerous,resulting in low detection accuracy by deep learning models.Therefore,we proposed a new multi-scale fusion crater detection algorithm(MSF-CDA)based on the YOLO11 to improve the accuracy of lunar impact crater detection,especially for small craters with a diameter of<1 km.Using the images taken by the LROC(Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera)at the Chang’e-4(CE-4)landing area,we constructed three separate datasets for craters with diameters of 0-70 m,70-140 m,and>140 m.We then trained three submodels separately with these three datasets.Additionally,we designed a slicing-amplifying-slicing strategy to enhance the ability to extract features from small craters.To handle redundant predictions,we proposed a new Non-Maximum Suppression with Area Filtering method to fuse the results in overlapping targets within the multi-scale submodels.Finally,our new MSF-CDA method achieved high detection performance,with the Precision,Recall,and F1 score having values of 0.991,0.987,and 0.989,respectively,perfectly addressing the problems induced by the lesser features and sample imbalance of small craters.Our MSF-CDA can provide strong data support for more in-depth study of the geological evolution of the lunar surface and finer geological age estimations.This strategy can also be used to detect other small objects with lesser features and sample imbalance problems.We detected approximately 500,000 impact craters in an area of approximately 214 km2 around the CE-4 landing area.By statistically analyzing the new data,we updated the distribution function of the number and diameter of impact craters.Finally,we identified the most suitable lighting conditions for detecting impact crater targets by analyzing the effect of different lighting conditions on the detection accuracy.

文摘This paper considers the problem of time varying congestion pricing to determine optimal time-varying tolls at peak periods for a queuing network with the interactions between buses and private cars.Through the combined applications of the space-time expanded network（STEN） and the conventional network equilibrium modeling techniques,a multi-class,multi-mode and multi-criteria traffic network equilibrium model is developed.Travelers of different classes have distinctive value of times（VOTs）,and travelers from the same class perceive their travel disutility or generalized costs on a route according to different weights of travel time and travel costs.Moreover,the symmetric cost function model is extended to deal with the interactions between buses and private cars.It is found that there exists a uniform（anonymous） link toll pattern which can drive a multi-class,multi-mode and multi-criteria user equilibrium flow pattern to a system optimum when the system＇s objective function is measured in terms of money.It is also found that the marginal cost pricing models with a symmetric travel cost function do not reflect the interactions between traffic flows of different road sections,and the obtained congestion pricing toll is smaller than the real value.
