In this work, we have made a comprehensive evaluation of the performances of existingtop RNA secondary structure prediction methods, including five deep-learning (DL) based methods and five minimum freeenergy (MFE) based methods. First, we made a brief overview of these RNA secondary structure prediction methods.Afterwards, we built two rigorous test datasets consisting of RNAs with non-redundant sequences and comprehensivelyexamined the performances of the RNA secondary structure prediction methods through classifying the RNAs into differentlength ranges and different types. Our examination shows that the DL-based methods generally perform better thanthe MFE-based methods for RNAs with long lengths and complex structures, while the MFE-based methods can achievegood performance for small RNAs and some specialized MFE-based methods can achieve good prediction accuracy forpseudoknots. Finally, we provided some insights and perspectives in modeling RNA secondary structures.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With the continuous increase of aeroengine flight ceiling(>20 km),the thin atmosphere at high altitudes and the size effect all cause the compressor component inlet Reynolds number to decrease rapidly to a critical value(approximately 2.0×10^(5)),and the significant transition process on the blade/endwall surface leads to the sharp degradation of compressor performance,which seriously affects the engine fuel consumption and working stability at high altitudes.In this paper,the research progress on the internal flow mechanism and flow control methods of axial compressors at low Reynolds numbers is reviewed from the aspects of quantification and prediction of performance variation,flow loss mechanism related to separation and transition,efficient transition control and flow field organization.The development trend of the low-Reynolds-number effect of axial flow compressors is noted,and the difficulties and application prospects of aerodynamic design and efficient flow control methods for compressors under low Reynolds numbers at high altitudes are discussed.
文摘This study examines the translation methods employed by Xu Yuanchong in his English translation of the Chu ci with a specific focus on the treatment of reduplicatives.Reduplicatives in the Chinese language,known for their intricate nature of meaning and rhythmic qualities,pose a great challenge in translation due to the lack of equivalent structures in English.The paper investigates how Xu Yuanchong navigates these challenges by employing various strategies,including repetition,onomatopoeia,paraphrase,and literal translation without formal equivalence.Through an analysis of selected examples,the research highlights the difficulties of balancing Xu’s Three Beauties Principle,namely the beauty in sense,sound,and form in translating reduplicatives.The research findings are that,while Xu’s translations sometimes require compromises in sound and form,his nuanced approach ensures that the essence and emotional depth of the original text are effectively conveyed to target readers.This study may contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in translating classical Chinese poetry and offer insights into the interplay between linguistic and cultural elements in literary translation.
文摘In order to solve the problem of the variable coefficient ordinary differen-tial equation on the bounded domain,the Lagrange interpolation method is used to approximate the exact solution of the equation,and the error between the numerical solution and the exact solution is obtained,and then compared with the error formed by the difference method,it is concluded that the Lagrange interpolation method is more effective in solving the variable coefficient ordinary differential equation.

文摘This study discusses the challenges in logging the evaluation of low-resistivity oil reservoirs,especially the difficult problems involving their saturation calculation.A correction method for equivalent water conductivity is proposed,given the high conductivity caused by small amounts of water distributed in a network within the low-resistivity reservoir,which mimics the eff ects of high water saturation.This approach signifi cantly improves the accuracy of hydrocarbon saturation calculations in these low-resistivity reservoirs.The corrected hydrocarbon saturation values highly matched the porosity and are consistent with experimental results.This study also establishes a discrimination process to determine whether corrections are required,verifying the eff ectiveness and accuracy of the method through an application example.
