Time is modeled as a single dimension, flowing continuously through independent privileged points. Introduced as absolute point-time, abstract continuous time is a backdrop for concrete relational-based time that is finite and discrete, bound to the limits of a real-world system. We discuss how discrete signals at a point are used to temporally anchor zero-temporal points [t = 0] in linear time. Object-oriented temporal line elements, flanked by temporal point elements, have a proportional geometric identity quantifiable by a standard unit system and can be mapped on a natural number line. Durations, line elements, are divisible into ordered unit ratio elements using ancient timekeeping formulas. The divisional structure provides temporal classes for rotational (Rt24t) and orbital (Rt18) sample periods, as well as a more general temporal class (Rt12) applicable to either sample or frame periods. We introduce notation for additive cyclic counts of sample periods, including divisional units, for calendar-like formatting. For system modeling, unit structures with dihedral symmetry, group order, and numerical order are shown to be applicable to Euclidean modelling. We introduce new functions for bijective and non-bijective mapping, modular arithmetic for cyclic-based time counts, and a novel formula relating to a subgroup of Pythagorean triples, preserving dihedral n-polygon symmetries. This article presents a new approach to model time in a relationalistic framework.展开更多

condition.To enhance the die...Introduction Pure NBT exhibits the frequency-dependent Curie temperature,indicating that its dielectric properties are affected by temperature,measurement frequency,and material processing condition.To enhance the dielectric and relaxor properties of NBT,various dopants such as Sr,K,Li and Bi are incorporated into the NBT structure.These modifications significantly alter the dielectric constant and relaxation behavior,demonstrating a dominant influence of dopant on the material properties.Among these,the solid solution of BaTiO_(3)(BT)with NBT is widely investigated due to its ability to stabilize the perovskite structure and improve dielectric performance.However,the temperature-dependent stability of dielectric properties remains a critical challenge for high-temperature applications.In this study,(1-x)(0.75Na_(0.5)Bi_(0.5)TiO_(3)-0.25BaTiO_(3))-xBaZrO_(3)(NBT-BT-xBZ,x=0,0.08,0.14,and 0.20)ceramics were prepared by a solid-state reaction method.The effect of BaZrO_(3)(BZ)addition on the structural,dielectric,and energy storage properties was systematically investigated.In addition,the phase transition and relaxation behaviors were also analyzed based on the modified Curie-Weiss law,Vogel-Fulcher relation,and Lorentz-type empirical law.Methods The starting materials were powders of high purity Na_(2)CO_(3),Bi_(2)O_(3),TiO_(2),BaCO_(3),and ZrO_(2).The powders were weighed according to a stoichiometric ratio(with 1%excess of Na and Bi)and ground with ethanol in a ball mill at 300 r/min for more than 12 h,and the weight ratio of raw material to ethanol and zirconium balls was 1:1:2.The dried material was heat-treated at 850℃ for 2 h to promote the formation of NBT-BT-BZ.After further grinding for 12 h,the samples were mixed with a small amount of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA).The samples were sintered in air at 1150℃for 2 h and cooled to room temperature.The phase composition of the ceramic samples was determined by an model D8 ADVANDCE X-ray diffractometer(D8 ADVANDCEXRD,Bruker AXS Ltd.,Germany)with Cu target Kαrays,at X-ray wavelengthλof 1.5406Å,2θin the range of 10°to 80°,applied voltage of 40 kV,and a current of 500 mA.A silver paste was coated on the two surfaces as electrodes and heat-treated at 700℃ for 10 min.The dielectric properties of the ceramic samples were determined at different frequencies by a model DMS-1000 high-temperature dielectric temperature spectroscope(BALAB Tech.Co.,China)with at a ramp rate of 3(°)/min in a temperature range from room temperature to 450℃.The overdamped(200Ω)discharge tests for bulk ceramic samples were performed by a model CFD-005 discharge tester(Gogo(GG)Instruments Technology,China)).Results and discussion The XRD patterns indicate that all the ceramic samples have a perovskite structure without any detectable secondary phase,proving that zirconium ions can completely enter the lattice and form a solid solution.Based on the locally magnified XRD peaks,the XRD peak shape shifts towards lower angles as a whole as the BZ content increases.This indicates that the overall volume of the crystal cell shows an expansion as the Zr ions replace Ti ions due to different ionic radii of Zr and Ti ions.The SEM images show that the grain size gradually increases with increasing the BZ content.The addition of BZ promotes the grain growth.However,this gradually slows down with the increase of content up to x of 0.20.The limited grain size variation appears in the latter two samples.All the samples show a relatively dense morphology.The Curie temperature of the NBT-0.25BT ceramic samples is 256℃,which is similar to the reported results.The Curie temperature decreases gradually with the increase of BZ additive,and the dielectric temperature spectrum flattens out,indicating that the enhanced structural and temperature stability of the NBT-BT-BZ ceramics.The maximum values of all dielectric constants correspond to temperatures that increase with frequency,indicating a dielectric relaxor behavior.A frequency dispersion is accompanied at near the Curie temperature,which can be ascribed to the thermal evolution of the tetragonal polar nanoregions(PNRs)and the mixing effect of the transition from tripartite to tetragonal PNRs.Theγvalues obtained from the experimental data at 100 kHz are 1.79,1.83,1.89,and 1.92 for NBT-BT,NBT-BT-0.08BZ,NBT-BT-0.14BZ,and NBT-BT-0.20BZ,respectively.Theγvalue increases gradually with the addition of the BZ content,showing an enhanced relaxation of the NBT-BT-BZ ceramics.The comparison of discharge current curves and energy density of all the ceramics indicate that the addition of BZ significantly improves the discharge current and energy storage performance.A high discharging energy density(Wd)of 1.6 J·cm^(-3) with a fast discharging speed(τ0.9)of 75 ns is obtained for the ceramic samples with x of 0.14.This can be attributed to an increased relaxation as the BZ content increases.Conclusions NBT-BT-BZ ceramics were prepared by a solid-state reaction method.The XRD patterns revealed a phase transition from a tetragonal phase to a pseudocubic phase as the BZ content increased.The dielectric relaxation behavior of the ceramics could be described by three empirical laws(i.e.,modified Curie-Weiss law,Vogel-Fulcher relation and Lorentz-type empirical law).The dielectric relaxation followed the modified Curie-Weiss law and the Vogel-Fulcher relationship.The parametersγand Ea,which were obtained to evaluate the relaxation behavior,increased at a higher BZ content.The Lorentz-type relationship effectively described the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant on both the low-and high-temperature sides within a specific temperature range for all the ceramics.展开更多

Let G be a simple graph of order n and λ1, λ2, . . . , λn be the zeros of its matching polynomial. The matching energy of a graph G is defined as ME(G) = Pni=1 |λi|. By the famous Coulson’s formula, matching energies can also be calculated by an improper integral depending on a parameter. A k-claw attaching graph Gu(k) refers to the graph obtained by attaching k pendent edges to the graph G at the vertex u, where u is called the root of Gu(k). In this paper, we use some theories of mathematical analysis to obtain a new technique to compare the matching energies of two k-claw attaching graphs Gu(k) and Hv(k) with the same order, that is, limk→∞[ME(Gu(k)) − ME(Hv(k))] = ME(G − u) − ME(H − v). By the technique, we finally determine unicyclic graphs of order n with the 9th to 13th minimal matching energies for all n ≥ 58.展开更多

文摘This article broadens terminology and approaches that continue to advance time modelling within a relationalist framework. Time is modeled as a single dimension, flowing continuously through independent privileged points. Introduced as absolute point-time, abstract continuous time is a backdrop for concrete relational-based time that is finite and discrete, bound to the limits of a real-world system. We discuss how discrete signals at a point are used to temporally anchor zero-temporal points [t = 0] in linear time. Object-oriented temporal line elements, flanked by temporal point elements, have a proportional geometric identity quantifiable by a standard unit system and can be mapped on a natural number line. Durations, line elements, are divisible into ordered unit ratio elements using ancient timekeeping formulas. The divisional structure provides temporal classes for rotational (Rt24t) and orbital (Rt18) sample periods, as well as a more general temporal class (Rt12) applicable to either sample or frame periods. We introduce notation for additive cyclic counts of sample periods, including divisional units, for calendar-like formatting. For system modeling, unit structures with dihedral symmetry, group order, and numerical order are shown to be applicable to Euclidean modelling. We introduce new functions for bijective and non-bijective mapping, modular arithmetic for cyclic-based time counts, and a novel formula relating to a subgroup of Pythagorean triples, preserving dihedral n-polygon symmetries. This article presents a new approach to model time in a relationalistic framework.
文摘How to capture the role of culture in individual behavior is a difficult question,in part because it is often embedded in the research approach.Many researchers have stressed the entrenched ethnocentrism of mainstream psychology approaches.In response,some Chinese scholars have turned to sociology theories to create a relation-centered approach for investigating the psychology of Confucian societies.Scholars in Asia recently have proposed a theoretical model of psychological functioning in Chinese societies that encompasses the individual’s sociocultural environment,which they labeled the relational orientation framework(ROF).The ROF is comprised of a structural-relational factor grounded in sociological structuration theory with five dimensions that shape the individual’s position in the social network,and a relational agency factor based on social exchange theory with four dimensions that capture the individual’s orientation to exchange aspects of relationships.This study assesses the proposed theoretical structure of the model with empirical data.Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses with two independent samples from universities in China's Mainland(N=601,M age=20.8 years)supported the structural-relational factor with the expected five dimensions and the relational agency factor with a modified version of the four dimensions with acceptable reliability and validity scores and good levels of model-data fit.We provide recommendations for refining conceptualization of the two factors for future development of an assessment tool.

文摘API(Application Programming Interface)documentation often only describes individual APIs and lacks information on complex API relations and code examples.Retrieval-based and generation-based methods can both produce documentation that includes API relationship descriptions and code examples.However,they are limited by the richness of available API resources.As a result,they struggle to be effective when dealing with resource-scarce languages such as Kotlin.We propose an on-demand API tutorial generation method for resource-scarce languages,transferring API knowledge from a resource-rich language like Java to Kotlin using an AI chain.Evaluating our method on 500 Kotlin APIs,we generated more API documents than the state-of-the-art retrieval-based method ADECK and the generate-based method gDoc.The number of API guidelines generated by our method is 37 times that of ADECK and 1.6 times that of gDoc.Compared with the scheme that did not adopt the knowledge transfer strategy,the success rate of our method has increased by 31.25 percentage points.This demonstrates the feasibility and potential of using LLMs to create new API knowledge across languages.

文摘Due to the complex structural hierarchy,with deeply nested associative relations between entities such as equipment,specifications,and business processes,intelligent power grid engineering is challenging.Meanwhile,limited by the fragmented data and loss of contextual information,the generated reports are prone to the problems such as content redundancy and omission of critical information,failing to meet the demands of efficient decision-making and accurate management in modern power systems.To address these issues,this paper proposes a knowledge graph(KG)-enhanced framework to automatically generate electric power engineering reports.In the KG construction phase,a feature-fused entity recognition model named BERT-BiLSTM-CRF is adopted to improve the accuracy of entity recognition in scenarios involving power engineering professional terminology,thereby solving the problem of ambiguous entity boundaries in traditional models;then a BERT-attention relation extraction model is proposed to enhance the completeness of extracting complex hierarchical and implicit relations in power grid data.In the report generation phase,an improved Transformer architecture is adopted to accurately transform structured knowledge into natural language reports that comply with engineering specifications,addressing the issue of semantic inconsistency caused by the loss of structural information in existing models.By validating with real-world projects,the results show that the proposed framework significantly outperforms existing baseline models in entity recognition,confirming its superiority and applicability in practical engineering.

文摘Vaginal delivery is a fascinating physiological process,but also a high-risk process.Up to 85%–90%of vaginal deliveries lead to perineal trauma,with nearly 11%of severe perineal tearing.It is a common occurrence,especially for first-time mothers.Computational childbirth plays an essential role in the prediction and prevention of these traumas,but fast personalization of the pelvis and floor muscles is challenging due to their anatomical complexity.This study introduces a novel shape-prediction-based personalization of the pelvis and floor muscles for perineal tearing management and childbirth simulation.300 subjects were selected from public Computed Tomography(CT)databases.The pelvic bone nmjmeshes were generated using a coarse-to-fine non-rigid mesh alignment procedure.The floor muscle meshes were personalized using the bone mesh deformation information.A feature-to-pelvic structure reconstruction pipeline was proposed,incorporating various strategies.Ten-fold cross-validation helped determine the optimal reconstruction strategy,regression method,and feature sizes.The mesh-to-mesh distance metric was employed for evaluating.The statistical shape relation-based strategy,coupled with multi-output ridge regression,was the optimal approach for pelvic structure reconstruction.With a feature set ranging from 3 to 38,the mean errors were 2.672 to 1.613 mm,and 3.237 to 1.415 mm in muscle attachment regions.The best-and worst-case predictions had errors of 1.227±0.959 mm and 2.900±2.309 mm,respectively.This study provides a novel approach to achieving fast personalized childbirth modeling and simulation for perineal tearing management.
文摘Du(毒)commonly denotes poison and toxicity,carrying a negative connotation of harm in modern Chinese.However,within traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),Du possesses more diverse connotations.Through the examination of historical scholar-physicians’works and semi-structured interviews with modern TCM practitioners,this research argues that Du should be understood in a relational way rather than merely as an intrinsic property of substances.From medical practitioners’perspective,Du emerges from the interaction between substances and the human body.Firstly,substances that induce strong and undesired bodily sensations can be categorised as Du,denoting both potency and potential harm.Secondly,Du has also been interpreted as Pian Xing(偏性imbalanced qualities of materia medica),referring to medicine’s qi(气property)and Wei(味flavour).These qualities,determined through sensory perceptions such as taste and smell,are the source of both therapeutic efficacy and potential harm if misused.Thus,in this context,the concept of Du does not inherently carry positive or negative connotations.Thirdly,when practitioners use Du to denote harm,this harm is generated from dynamic interplay among medicines,formulas,practitioners and patients.The interaction between these factors determines whether medicines will cause harm,rather than any inherent quality of the medicines themselves.However,influenced by modern science,the focus has shifted to isolated toxic components,moving away from the holistic emphasis on the lived body’s experiences.This shift has also influenced practitioners’clinical use of Du-possessing medicines,which are regarded as toxic medicines.
文摘Given the scarcity of Satellite Frequency and Orbit(SFO)resources,it holds paramount importance to establish a comprehensive knowledge graph of SFO field(SFO-KG)and employ knowledge reasoning technology to automatically mine available SFO resources.An essential aspect of constructing SFO-KG is the extraction of Chinese entity relations.Unfortunately,there is currently no publicly available Chinese SFO entity Relation Extraction(RE)dataset.Moreover,publicly available SFO text data contain numerous NA(representing for“No Answer”)relation category sentences that resemble other relation sentences and pose challenges in accurate classification,resulting in low recall and precision for the NA relation category in entity RE.Consequently,this issue adversely affects both the accuracy of constructing the knowledge graph and the efficiency of RE processes.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a method for extracting Chinese SFO text entity relations based on dynamic integrated learning.This method includes the construction of a manually annotated Chinese SFO entity RE dataset and a classifier combining features of SFO resource data.The proposed approach combines integrated learning and pre-training models,specifically utilizing Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers(BERT).In addition,it incorporates one-class classification,attention mechanisms,and dynamic feedback mechanisms to improve the performance of the RE model.Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the traditional methods in terms of F1 value when extracting entity relations from both balanced and long-tailed datasets.
文摘The present technical paper outlines the details of the controlled blasting techniques used to optimize blasting pattern for excavation of hard rock near the Bhira Earthen Dam in Maharashtra,India.In this connection,a series of experimental blasts were conducted by adjusting various blast design parameters at project site.The safe charge weight per delay was kept between 0.125 and 0.375 kg.The outcomes of these experimental blasts were analyzed to recommend optimized blasting patterns and methods for the overall excavation process during actual blasting operations.Blast design parameters,including the maximum quantity of explosive per delay,hole depth,burden and spacing between holes were optimized by using a site-specific attenuation equation,taking into account the proximity of the dam and tunnel from the blasting area.Peak particle velocity(PPV)level of 10 mm/s and 50 mm/s respectively were adopted as the safe vibration level for ensuring safety of the Bhira Earthen Dam and the nearby tunnel from the adverse effects of blast vibrations by analyzing the dominant frequency of ground vibrations observed and also by reviewing various international standards.Frequency of the ground vibrations observed on the dam and tunnel from majority of the blasts was found to be more than 10 Hz and 50 Hz respectively.During the entire period of blasting,the blast vibrations were recorded to be far lower than the safe vibration level set for these structures.Maximum Vibration level of about 0.8 mm/s and 35 mm/s were observed on dam and tunnel respectively which are far lower than the safe vibration level adopted for these structures.Hence,the entire excavation work was completed successfully and safely,without endangering the safety of dam or tunnel.

文摘The level 3 case for Ramanujan-type series has been considered as the most mysterious and the most challenging,out of all possible levels for Ramanujan-type series.This motivates the development of new techniques for constructing Ramanujan-type series of level 3.Chan and Liaw introduced an alternating analogue of the Borwein brothers’identity for Ramanujan-type series of level 3;subsequently,Chan,Liaw,and Tian formulated another proof of the Chan–Liaw identity,via the use of Ramanujan’s class invariant.Using the elliptic lambda function and the elliptic alpha function,we prove,via a limiting case of the Kummer–Goursat transformation,a new identity for evaluating the summands for alternating Ramanujan-type series of level 3,and we apply this new identity to prove three conjectured formulas for quadratic-irrational,Ramanujan-type series that had been discovered via numerical experiments with Maple in 2012 by Aldawoud.We also apply our identity to prove a new Ramanujan-type series of level 3 with a quartic convergence rate and quartic coefficients.

文摘Introduction Pure NBT exhibits the frequency-dependent Curie temperature,indicating that its dielectric properties are affected by temperature,measurement frequency,and material processing condition.To enhance the dielectric and relaxor properties of NBT,various dopants such as Sr,K,Li and Bi are incorporated into the NBT structure.These modifications significantly alter the dielectric constant and relaxation behavior,demonstrating a dominant influence of dopant on the material properties.Among these,the solid solution of BaTiO_(3)(BT)with NBT is widely investigated due to its ability to stabilize the perovskite structure and improve dielectric performance.However,the temperature-dependent stability of dielectric properties remains a critical challenge for high-temperature applications.In this study,(1-x)(0.75Na_(0.5)Bi_(0.5)TiO_(3)-0.25BaTiO_(3))-xBaZrO_(3)(NBT-BT-xBZ,x=0,0.08,0.14,and 0.20)ceramics were prepared by a solid-state reaction method.The effect of BaZrO_(3)(BZ)addition on the structural,dielectric,and energy storage properties was systematically investigated.In addition,the phase transition and relaxation behaviors were also analyzed based on the modified Curie-Weiss law,Vogel-Fulcher relation,and Lorentz-type empirical law.Methods The starting materials were powders of high purity Na_(2)CO_(3),Bi_(2)O_(3),TiO_(2),BaCO_(3),and ZrO_(2).The powders were weighed according to a stoichiometric ratio(with 1%excess of Na and Bi)and ground with ethanol in a ball mill at 300 r/min for more than 12 h,and the weight ratio of raw material to ethanol and zirconium balls was 1:1:2.The dried material was heat-treated at 850℃ for 2 h to promote the formation of NBT-BT-BZ.After further grinding for 12 h,the samples were mixed with a small amount of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA).The samples were sintered in air at 1150℃for 2 h and cooled to room temperature.The phase composition of the ceramic samples was determined by an model D8 ADVANDCE X-ray diffractometer(D8 ADVANDCEXRD,Bruker AXS Ltd.,Germany)with Cu target Kαrays,at X-ray wavelengthλof 1.5406Å,2θin the range of 10°to 80°,applied voltage of 40 kV,and a current of 500 mA.A silver paste was coated on the two surfaces as electrodes and heat-treated at 700℃ for 10 min.The dielectric properties of the ceramic samples were determined at different frequencies by a model DMS-1000 high-temperature dielectric temperature spectroscope(BALAB Tech.Co.,China)with at a ramp rate of 3(°)/min in a temperature range from room temperature to 450℃.The overdamped(200Ω)discharge tests for bulk ceramic samples were performed by a model CFD-005 discharge tester(Gogo(GG)Instruments Technology,China)).Results and discussion The XRD patterns indicate that all the ceramic samples have a perovskite structure without any detectable secondary phase,proving that zirconium ions can completely enter the lattice and form a solid solution.Based on the locally magnified XRD peaks,the XRD peak shape shifts towards lower angles as a whole as the BZ content increases.This indicates that the overall volume of the crystal cell shows an expansion as the Zr ions replace Ti ions due to different ionic radii of Zr and Ti ions.The SEM images show that the grain size gradually increases with increasing the BZ content.The addition of BZ promotes the grain growth.However,this gradually slows down with the increase of content up to x of 0.20.The limited grain size variation appears in the latter two samples.All the samples show a relatively dense morphology.The Curie temperature of the NBT-0.25BT ceramic samples is 256℃,which is similar to the reported results.The Curie temperature decreases gradually with the increase of BZ additive,and the dielectric temperature spectrum flattens out,indicating that the enhanced structural and temperature stability of the NBT-BT-BZ ceramics.The maximum values of all dielectric constants correspond to temperatures that increase with frequency,indicating a dielectric relaxor behavior.A frequency dispersion is accompanied at near the Curie temperature,which can be ascribed to the thermal evolution of the tetragonal polar nanoregions(PNRs)and the mixing effect of the transition from tripartite to tetragonal PNRs.Theγvalues obtained from the experimental data at 100 kHz are 1.79,1.83,1.89,and 1.92 for NBT-BT,NBT-BT-0.08BZ,NBT-BT-0.14BZ,and NBT-BT-0.20BZ,respectively.Theγvalue increases gradually with the addition of the BZ content,showing an enhanced relaxation of the NBT-BT-BZ ceramics.The comparison of discharge current curves and energy density of all the ceramics indicate that the addition of BZ significantly improves the discharge current and energy storage performance.A high discharging energy density(Wd)of 1.6 J·cm^(-3) with a fast discharging speed(τ0.9)of 75 ns is obtained for the ceramic samples with x of 0.14.This can be attributed to an increased relaxation as the BZ content increases.Conclusions NBT-BT-BZ ceramics were prepared by a solid-state reaction method.The XRD patterns revealed a phase transition from a tetragonal phase to a pseudocubic phase as the BZ content increased.The dielectric relaxation behavior of the ceramics could be described by three empirical laws(i.e.,modified Curie-Weiss law,Vogel-Fulcher relation and Lorentz-type empirical law).The dielectric relaxation followed the modified Curie-Weiss law and the Vogel-Fulcher relationship.The parametersγand Ea,which were obtained to evaluate the relaxation behavior,increased at a higher BZ content.The Lorentz-type relationship effectively described the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant on both the low-and high-temperature sides within a specific temperature range for all the ceramics.

文摘The concept of matching energy was proposed by Gutman and Wagner firstly in 2012. Let G be a simple graph of order n and λ1, λ2, . . . , λn be the zeros of its matching polynomial. The matching energy of a graph G is defined as ME(G) = Pni=1 |λi|. By the famous Coulson’s formula, matching energies can also be calculated by an improper integral depending on a parameter. A k-claw attaching graph Gu(k) refers to the graph obtained by attaching k pendent edges to the graph G at the vertex u, where u is called the root of Gu(k). In this paper, we use some theories of mathematical analysis to obtain a new technique to compare the matching energies of two k-claw attaching graphs Gu(k) and Hv(k) with the same order, that is, limk→∞[ME(Gu(k)) − ME(Hv(k))] = ME(G − u) − ME(H − v). By the technique, we finally determine unicyclic graphs of order n with the 9th to 13th minimal matching energies for all n ≥ 58.

文摘Collecting amounts of distorted/clean image pairs in the real world is non-trivial,which severely limits the practical application of these supervised learning-based methods to real-world image super-resolution(RealSR).Previous works usually address this problem by leveraging unsupervised learning-based technologies to alleviate the dependency on paired training samples.However,these methods typically suffer from unsatisfactory texture synthesis due to the lack of supervision of clean images.To overcome this problem,we are the first to take a close look at the under-explored direction for RealSR,i.e.,few-shot real-world image super-resolution,which aims to tackle the challenging RealSR problem with few-shot distorted/clean image pairs.Under this brand-new scenario,we propose distortion relation guided transfer learning(DRTL)for the few-shot RealSR by transferring the rich restoration knowledge from auxiliary distortions(i.e.,synthetic distortions)to the target RealSR under the guidance of the distortion relation.Concretely,DRTL builds a knowledge graph to capture the distortion relation between auxiliary distortions and target distortion(i.e.,real distortions in RealSR).Based on the distortion relation,DRTL adopts a gradient reweighting strategy to guide the knowledge transfer process between auxiliary distortions and target distortions.In this way,DRTL is able to quickly learn the most relevant knowledge from the synthetic distortions for the target distortion.We instantiate DRTL with two commonly-used transfer learning paradigms,including pretraining and meta-learning pipelines,to realize a distortion relation-aware few-shot RealSR.Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks and thorough ablation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of our DRTL.

文摘In recent years,with the rapid development of deep learning technology,relational triplet extraction techniques have also achieved groundbreaking progress.Traditional pipeline models have certain limitations due to error propagation.To overcome the limitations of traditional pipeline models,recent research has focused on jointly modeling the two key subtasks-named entity recognition and relation extraction-within a unified framework.To support future research,this paper provides a comprehensive review of recently published studies in the field of relational triplet extraction.The review examines commonly used public datasets for relational triplet extraction techniques and systematically reviews current mainstream joint extraction methods,including joint decoding methods and parameter sharing methods,with joint decoding methods further divided into table filling,tagging,and sequence-to-sequence approaches.In addition,this paper also conducts small-scale replication experiments on models that have performed well in recent years for each method to verify the reproducibility of the code and to compare the performance of different models under uniform conditions.Each method has its own advantages in terms of model design,task handling,and application scenarios,but also faces challenges such as processing complex sentence structures,cross-sentence relation extraction,and adaptability in low-resource environments.Finally,this paper systematically summarizes each method and discusses the future development prospects of joint extraction of relational triples.

文摘Dispersion characteristics of magnonic crystals have attracted considerable attention because of the potential applications for spin-wave devices.In this work,we investigated the strain-manipulated dispersion characteristics of magnonic crystals with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction(DMI)and discussed the potential applications in spin-wave devices.Here,the ground states and stabilities of the magnonic crystals were investigated.Then,the strain-manipulated dispersion characteristics of the magnonic crystals based on domains and skyrmions were studied.The simulation results indicated that,the applied strain could manipulate the band widths and the positions of the allowed frequency bands.Finally,the realization of magnonic crystal heterojunctions and potential applications in spin-wave devices,such as filters,diodes,and transistors based on strain-manipulated magnonic crystals were proposed.Our research provides a theoretical foundation for designing tunable spin-wave devices based on strain-manipulated magnonic crystals with DMI.

文摘Metastable β titanium alloy is an ideal material for lightweight and high strength due to its excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.However,overcoming the trade-off relation between strength and ductility remains a significant challenge.In this study,the mechanical properties of Ti-38644 alloy were optimized by introducing a heterogeneous bi-grain bi-lamella(BG-BL)structure through a well-designed combination of rolling,drawing and heat treatment.The results demonstrate that the present BG-BL Ti-38644 alloy shows a tensile strength of~1500 MPa and a total elongation of 18%.In particular,the high strength-elongation combination of the BG-BL Ti-38644 alloy breakthroughs the trade-off relation in all the titanium alloys available.The recrystallized grains with low dislocation enhance the ductility of the Ti-38644 alloy,while the highly distorted elongated grains mainly contribute to the high strength.The present study provides a new principle for designing Ti alloys with superior strength and ductility.

文摘On April 3,2024,a magnitude Mw 7.4 earthquake struck the city of Hualien,Taiwan,China,causing casualties and immense damage.This earthquake triggered a tsunami,which was recorded by the nearby tide gauges and Deep-Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis(DART)buoys.These recordings are valuable for evaluating the tsunami source and quantifying the tsunami characteristics.In this study,we conduct tsunami simulations based on three earthquake source models,and analyze their reliability by comparing the computed results with observed waveforms.The evaluated source models are the United States Geological Survey(USGS)finite-fault model,and two uniform slip models using different scaling relations.The tsunami waves generated by each source are simulated with a nonhydrostatic tsunami model,which accounts for the effects of wave dispersion.The computed tsunami arrival times and wave heights are compared to the observed data and show high consistency,indicating that the magnitude and location of the earthquake source are well estimated.Also,the three source models with different rupture area and average slip lead to almost the same tsunami waves at each station,which suggests that earthquake rupture details have limited impact on far-filed tsunami records.It is also found that wave dispersion effects in this event are negligible at most stations.The findings are useful for tsunami warning.For fast warning purposes,it is practically useful to adopt simplified uniform slip models,which are able to predict the tsunami arrival time and wave height relatively well without knowing the earthquake source details.
文摘In the present literature,two types of piezoelectric fiber-reinforced composite(PFRC)based cylindrical models are considered to investigate the circumferential shear wave propagation on a cylinder.Model Ⅰ consists of a pre-stressed PFRC layer imperfectly bonded to a pre-stressed piezoelectric cylinder of infinite length.Model Ⅱ comprises a pre-stressed PFRC layer that is imperfectly bonded to a fiber-reinforced core cylinder.The dispersion equations have been derived for both models,assuming electrically open and short boundaries.The numerical simulations are carried out,and results are portrayed graphically to show the effects of various parameters.The radius ratio,pre-stress,mechanical imperfect bonding parameter,fiber reinforcement and fiber-matrix volume ratio exert considerable effects on the PFRC cylinder.Comparative analysis of the dispersion behavior reveals that the shear wave’s phase velocity varies differently for Model Ⅰ and Model Ⅱ,and the phase velocity for Model Ⅰ is higher compared to Model II.The phase velocity reaches its minimum when the piezoelectric fiber is 0.5-0.6 by volume fraction in the PFRC layer.

文摘While early transition metal-based materials,such as MXene,has emerged as an efficient catalyst for the Mg-based hydrogen storage materials,their strong interaction with hydrogen resulted in the high hydrogen diffusion barrier,hindering further improvement of catalytic activity.A MXene is characterized by rich anionic groups on its surface,significantly affecting electronic and catalytic functionalities.Using Nb_(2)CT_(x)as an example,we herein illustrate the critical role of anionic T_(x)defects on controlling hydrogen dissociation and diffusion processes in Mg-based hydrogen storage materials.The hydrogen desorption properties of MgH_(2)can be significantly enhanced by utilizing T_(x)controllable Nb_(2)CT_(x),and it can release 3.57 wt.%hydrogen within 10 min under 240℃with the reduced dehydrogenation activation barrier.It also realized stable de/hydrogenation reactions for at least 50 cycles.DFT studies combined with kinetic analysis revealed that the catalyst‒hydrogen interaction could be systematically controlled by optimizing surface T_(x)defect density,accelerating the hydrogen dissociation and diffusion processes at the same time.These results demonstrate that the T_(x)defects serve as the effective catalytically active centers of Nb_(2)CT_(x),offering a flexible catalyst design guideline.
