Alternatively, prey species may employ strategies such as aposematism, which advertises unpalatability, or mimicry, which involves imitating other organisms. Because domestic animals typically experience reduced predation pressure compared with their wild counterparts, they are expected to exhibit less developed cryptic coloration. To test this prediction, we compared dorsal and ventral crypsis between domestic and wild black-spotted frogs(Pelophylax nigromaculatus) using reflectancemeasurement methods. Our results showed that domestic males displayed significantly weaker dorsal crypsis than wild males. In contrast, no statistically significant difference in dorsal crypsis was observed between domestic and wild females. These findings suggest that the reduction in dorsal crypsis among domestic males may be attributable to relaxed predation pressure and shifts in dietary resources within human-modified environments.展开更多

On the other hand, geostationary(GEO)weather satellites provide continuous observations with seamless coverage with advanced imager, despite their limited capability to penetrate clouds. Combining satellite and ground-radar observations could exploit the advantages of both techniques, providing tracking capability close to that of ground radar while maintaining full spatial coverage. This study presents a novel method called Multi-dimensional satellite Observation information for Radar Estimation(MORE) to reconstruct radar composite reflectivity(CREF). Deep learning techniques are important components of MORE for estimating CREF from China's Fengyun-4B(FY-4B) GEO satellite observations. Two models are developed: an infraredonly(IR-Single) model available for all times, and a visible-infrared(VIS+IR) model for daytime applications. These models incorporate multi-dimensional satellite observation information, including temporal, spatial, spectral, and viewing angle information, to enhance the accuracy of radar echo reconstruction. Results demonstrate that the VIS+IR model outperforms the IR-Single model, and both models achieves a root-mean-square error(RMSE) of less than 6 dBZ and a coefficient of determination(R~2) of greater than 0.7. The models effectively reconstruct radar echoes, including strong echoes exceeding 50 dBZ, and show good agreement with precipitation data in radar-blind areas. This study offers a valuable solution for severe weather monitoring and tracking in regions lacking ground-based radar observations, and provides a potential tool for enhanced data assimilation in numerical weather prediction(NWP) models.展开更多

文摘A primary anti-predator adaptation is crypsis, in which animals reduce their visibility to predators, often through camouflage, to lower the risk of predation. Alternatively, prey species may employ strategies such as aposematism, which advertises unpalatability, or mimicry, which involves imitating other organisms. Because domestic animals typically experience reduced predation pressure compared with their wild counterparts, they are expected to exhibit less developed cryptic coloration. To test this prediction, we compared dorsal and ventral crypsis between domestic and wild black-spotted frogs(Pelophylax nigromaculatus) using reflectancemeasurement methods. Our results showed that domestic males displayed significantly weaker dorsal crypsis than wild males. In contrast, no statistically significant difference in dorsal crypsis was observed between domestic and wild females. These findings suggest that the reduction in dorsal crypsis among domestic males may be attributable to relaxed predation pressure and shifts in dietary resources within human-modified environments.

文摘Knowledge-based VisualQuestion Answering(VQA)requires the integration of visual information with external knowledge reasoning.Existing approaches typically retrieve information from external corpora and rely on pretrained language models for reasoning.However,their performance is often hindered by the limited capabilities of retrievers and the constrained size of knowledge bases.Moreover,relying on image captions to bridge the modal gap between visual and language modalities can lead to the omission of critical visual details.To address these limitations,we propose the Reflective Chain-of-Thought(ReCoT)method,a simple yet effective framework inspired by metacognition theory.ReCoT effectively activates the reasoning capabilities ofMultimodal Large LanguageModels(MLLMs),providing essential visual and knowledge cues required to solve complex visual questions.It simulates a metacognitive reasoning process that encompasses monitoring,reflection,and correction.Specifically,in the initial generation stage,an MLLM produces a preliminary answer that serves as the model’s initial cognitive output.During the reflective reasoning stage,this answer is critically examined to generate a reflective rationale that integrates key visual evidence and relevant knowledge.In the final refinement stage,a smaller language model leverages this rationale to revise the initial prediction,resulting in amore accurate final answer.By harnessing the strengths ofMLLMs in visual and knowledge grounding,ReCoT enables smaller language models to reason effectively without dependence on image captions or external knowledge bases.Experimental results demonstrate that ReCoT achieves substantial performance improvements,outperforming state-of-the-art methods by 2.26%on OK-VQA and 5.8%on A-OKVQA.
文摘Objectives This study aimed to explore and clarify the concept of reflective supervision as a professional self-care strategy to create a positive Intensive Care Unit(ICU)practice environment.Methods Walker and Avant’s eight-step concept analysis approach was utilized to identify and define the attributes,antecedents,and consequences of reflective supervision in the ICU.An extensive literature search was conducted across various databases,including Google Scholar,CINAHL,PubMed.Articles published from 2005 to 2025 were identified.We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses(PRISMA)2020 statement to indicate the included articles and extract related data based on relevance.Results Forty articles were included in the analysis.The identified attributes included the supervisor-supervisee relationship,effective communication,teamwork,collaborations,reflection,competencies,feedback,continuous support,and autonomous choice.The identified antecedents included participation,supportive supervision,flexibility,open-door policy,training,and motivation.Consequences impacting the success of reflective supervision were identified as promotion of resiliency,autonomy,work-life balance,self-awareness,increased self-esteem,professional development,critical thinking,increased job satisfaction,and enhanced commitment.Conclusions Reflective supervision is a complex professional self-care strategy that enhances ICU practice,by promoting nurses’well-being,self-awareness,therapeutic skills,and professional development.
文摘In an academic environment increasingly shaped by metrics and the imperatives of“publish or perish”,it is rare to encounter a leading scientist willing to interweave personal narrative with conceptual reflection.The Soul of Geography by Fu(2025)achieves precisely this.The book resists simple categorisation:it is neither a conventional monograph nor a memoir,but rather a hybrid text that integrates autobiography,disciplinary reflection,and scientific arguments.In doing so,Fu articulates not only the trajectory of his own career but also a vision of geography as a discipline of theoretical depth and practical relevance.

文摘The Stern-Gerlach(SG)experiment is a fundamental experiment for revealing the existence of“spin”.In this experiment,beams of silver atoms are sent through inhomogeneous magnetic fields to observe their deflection.Thus,the conventional SG experiment can be viewed as a magnetic-type spin effect.In this work,we successfully generalize the SG effect from magnetic-type to electric-type by solving Dirac's equation with a potential barrier,revealing an extraordinary spin effect.Beams of Dirac particles can be regarded as matter waves.Based on Dirac's equation,we obtain the explicit forms of the incident,reflected,and transmitted waves.The electric-type SG effect shows that the reflected and transmitted waves can exhibit notable spatial shifts,which depend on the spin direction and the incident angle of the wave.The electrictype SG effect has potential applications for separating Dirac particles with different spin directions and for estimating the spin direction of Dirac particles.Some discussions related to the interaction between spin and the electric field are also presented.

文摘UAV-mounted intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)helps address the line-of-sight(LoS)blockage between sensor nodes(SNs)and the fusion center(FC)in Internet of Things(IoT).This paper considers an IoT assisted by multiple UAVs-mounted IRS(U-IRS),where the data from ground SNs are transmitted to the FC.In practice,energy efficiency(EE)and mission completion time are crucial metrics for evaluating system performance and operational costs.Recognizing their importance during data collection,we formulate a multi-objective optimization problem to maximize EE and minimize total mission completion time simultaneously.To characterize this tradeoff while considering optimization objective consistency,we construct an optimization problem that minimizes the weighted sum of the total mission completion time and the reciprocal of EE.Due to the non-convex nature of the formulated problem,obtaining optimal solutions is generally challenging.To tackle this issue,we decompose it into three subproblems:UAV-SN association,number of reflecting elements allocation,andUAVtrajectory optimization.An iterative algorithmcombining genetic algorithm,CS-BJ algorithm,and successive convex approximation technique is proposed to solve these sub-problems.Simulation results demonstrate that when the transmitted data amount is 10 and 30Mbits,compared to the static collection benchmark(the UAV hovers directly above each SN),the EE of the proposed method improves by more than 10.4% and 5.2%,while the total mission completion time is reduced by more than 5.4% and 3.3%,respectively.

文摘This study investigates the mechanisms of friction-induced vibration under periodic variations in stress distribution using an improved fretting friction model.A fretting friction test system integrated with a total reflection method was developed to analyze interfacial contact behavior under dynamic loading conditions.An improved fretting friction model was established,incorporating three critical nonlinear parameters:the hysteretic friction coefficient,tangential stiffness fluctuations,and stress distribution.Through systematic validation,the model demonstrates high-fidelity replication of experimental steady-state amplitude-frequency responses.Key findings reveal that non-uniform stress distribution governs irregularities in the vibration response,and increased uniformity intensifies stick-slip instabilities.Near the stick-slip transition threshold,distinct vibration anomalies emerge due to the coupled effects of stress heterogeneity,friction hysteresis,and stiffness variations during state transitions.Furthermore,the magnitude of the normal contact force systematically alters the dominant interfacial contact mechanism.The different interfacial contact states at various frequencies lead to distinct steady-state responses.This shift elevates resonance frequencies and amplifies higher-order resonant peaks.The fretting friction model provides a predictive framework for vibration control under dynamic interfacial loading.

文摘Fragment velocity distribution is an important parameter affecting the terminal effects of warheads.The rarefaction wave,end cap,and its confinement state can significantly affect the fragmentation of the cylindrical charge casing.Most of the existing studies have performed experiments and simulations considering the rarefaction wave and unfixed end caps;research on fixed end caps and sufficient theoretical explanations are limited.In this work,the effects of rarefaction waves,end caps,and their fixed states,on the fragment velocity distribution,were studied via experimentation and simulation,and reasonable theoretical explanations were provided.The results show that the rarefaction wave and end caps affect the fragment velocity by changing the pressure states of the detonation products.At the initiation end,the fragment velocities of casings with unfixed initiation ends are 33.3%(300 m/s)greater than that of casings without end caps,because of the weakening of the attenuation effect of the rarefaction wave.The fragment velocities of the casings with fixed initiation ends are 8.3%(100 m/s)greater than that of casings with unfixed initiation ends.At the non-initiation end,the fragment velocities are 24.8%(297 m/s)greater than that of a casing without end caps,and the reflecting shock wave generated by the fixed non-initiation end increases the fragment velocity by 7.3%(113 m/s),compared to the theoretical velocity.This work provides a basis for the structural design and analysis of the terminal effects of warheads.

文摘Ground-based radar is the primary means by which severe storms are monitored and tracked;however, due to limited coverage, important data is often missed over ocean and mountainous areas. On the other hand, geostationary(GEO)weather satellites provide continuous observations with seamless coverage with advanced imager, despite their limited capability to penetrate clouds. Combining satellite and ground-radar observations could exploit the advantages of both techniques, providing tracking capability close to that of ground radar while maintaining full spatial coverage. This study presents a novel method called Multi-dimensional satellite Observation information for Radar Estimation(MORE) to reconstruct radar composite reflectivity(CREF). Deep learning techniques are important components of MORE for estimating CREF from China's Fengyun-4B(FY-4B) GEO satellite observations. Two models are developed: an infraredonly(IR-Single) model available for all times, and a visible-infrared(VIS+IR) model for daytime applications. These models incorporate multi-dimensional satellite observation information, including temporal, spatial, spectral, and viewing angle information, to enhance the accuracy of radar echo reconstruction. Results demonstrate that the VIS+IR model outperforms the IR-Single model, and both models achieves a root-mean-square error(RMSE) of less than 6 dBZ and a coefficient of determination(R~2) of greater than 0.7. The models effectively reconstruct radar echoes, including strong echoes exceeding 50 dBZ, and show good agreement with precipitation data in radar-blind areas. This study offers a valuable solution for severe weather monitoring and tracking in regions lacking ground-based radar observations, and provides a potential tool for enhanced data assimilation in numerical weather prediction(NWP) models.

文摘With the increasing use of passive seismic data,developing seismic reflection imaging methods based on passive data is of considerable practical significance.This study presents a waveform-matching reverse time migration for the primary reflected data from local earthquakes.In order to mitigate inconsistencies in frequency band and energy across earthquakes of different magnitudes,we first establish reference seismic waveform with standardized dominant frequency and magnitude.A matching operator is derived for each event by matching its waveforms with the reference waveform.This operator is then applied via convolution to all waveforms,producing standardized seismic waveforms with consistent wavelet features.The reshaped waveforms are then subjected to reverse time migration using an impedance imaging condition for primary reflections.To suppress strong energy interference near the hypocenters,both illumination compensation and three-dimensional Smoothed Spherical Mask centered on each source are used.Numerical tests using both simple two-layer model and fault-containing model demonstrate that the new method is robust and effective.The reverse time migration of primary reflected data of local earthquakes accurately images underground impedance boundaries such as stratum interfaces and fault planes,showing its promise for future application in seismically active fault zones.

文摘Strong seismic excitation and fault dislocation are likely to occur simultaneously in high-intensity seismic zones,causing severe damage to tunnels crossing active fault zones.This paper aims to develop a novel analytical solution to determine the longitudinal mechanical responses of tunnels subjected to the combined effects of seismic waves and strike-slip faulting.Adopting the elastic springbeam model,the seismic waves are modelled as shear horizontal(SH)waves and the fault dislocation follows an S-shaped pattern;the superposition principle for free-fielddisplacements caused by both effects is assumed.In addition,the transmission and reflectionof seismic waves at the fault-rock geological interface and the tangential contact conditions at the tunnel-rock interface are considered.The analytical model is validated against numerical simulations,confirmingits accuracy in calculating tunnel responses.Moreover,a parametric study is conducted to evaluate the impact of key factors,including fault displacement,fault zone width,fault dip angle,earthquake frequency,rock conditions,tunnel lining stiffness,and tangential contact conditions,on tunnel responses.Compared with each effect alone,the combined effects of seismic waves and strike-slip faulting significantlychange the tunnel deformation and internal forces,leading to increased tunnel responses,especially within the fault zone and near the fault-rock interfaces.Depending on specificparameters,tunnel responses can be classifiedinto seismic-dominated,faulting-dominated,and seismic-faulting coupled responses on the basis of the relative contributions of each effect.The proposed analytical solution can be applied to quickly predict the longitudinal mechanical behaviour of tunnels under such combined effects in engineering applications.

文摘Accurate temperature control and effective oxide removal are essential for achieving high-quality epitaxial growth in molecular beam epitaxy(MBE).However,traditional methods often rely on manual identification of reflection high-energy electron diffraction(RHEED)patterns.This process is heavily influenced by the grower’s experience,leading to issues with reproducibility and limiting the potential for automation.In this report,we propose an unsupervised learning framework for realtime RHEED analysis during the deoxidation process.By incorporating temporal similarity constraints into contrastive learning,our model generates smooth and interpretable feature trajectories that illustrate transitions in the deoxidation state,thus eliminating the need for manual labeling.The model,pre-trained using grouped contrastive loss,shows significant improvement in RHEED feature boundary discrimination and localization of critical regions.We evaluated its generalizability through two transfer learning strategies:calibration-free clustering and few-shot fine-tuning.The pre-trained model achieved a clustering accuracy of 88.1%for GaAs deoxidation samples without additional labels and reached an accuracy of 94.3%to 95.5%after fine-tuning with just five sample pairs across GaAs,Ge,and InAs substrates.This framework is optimized for resource-constrained edge devices,allowing for real-time,plug-and-play integration with existing MBE systems and swift adaptation across various materials and equipment.This work paves the way for greater automation and improved reproducibility in semiconductor manufacturing.

文摘This article proposes a generalized strongly coupled resonator quartet(GSCRQ)filter along with its synthesis approach.By introducing out-of-band reflection zeros(RZs),the proposed GSCRQ can generate a transmission zero on each side of the passband without negative couplings.The coupling coefficients in this coupling structure change with the positions of the out-of-band RZs.Thus,the GSCRQ configuration admits flexible design solutions.For GSCRQ coaxial combline filters,all couplings can be implemented as inductive couplings,simplifying the design and manufacturing process.In this article,a 6-2 filter in the GSCRQ configuration is synthesized and designed.The simulated results of the designed filter agree very well with the theoretical characteristics.
