Subsequently, reconstruction algorithms restore image sequences of dynamic scenes, offering advantages such as reduced bandwidth and storage space requirements. The temporal correlation in video data is crucial for Video SCI, as it leverages the temporal relationships among frames to enhance the efficiency and quality of reconstruction algorithms, particularly for fast-moving objects.This paper discretizes video frames to create image datasets with the same data volume but differing temporal correlations. We utilized the state-of-the-art(SOTA) reconstruction framework, EfficientSCI++, to train various compressed reconstruction models with these differing temporal correlations. Evaluating the reconstruction results from these models, our simulation experiments confirm that a reduction in temporal correlation leads to decreased reconstruction accuracy. Additionally, we simulated the reconstruction outcomes of datasets devoid of temporal correlation, illustrating that models trained on non-temporal data affect the temporal feature extraction capabilities of transformers, resulting in negligible impacts on the evaluation of reconstruction results for non-temporal correlation test datasets.展开更多

文摘Predicting human motion based on historical motion sequences is a fundamental problem in computer vision,which is at the core of many applications.Existing approaches primarily focus on encoding spatial dependencies among human joints while ignoring the temporal cues and the complex relationships across non-consecutive frames.These limitations hinder the model’s ability to generate accurate predictions over longer time horizons and in scenarios with complex motion patterns.To address the above problems,we proposed a novel multi-level spatial and temporal learning model,which consists of a Cross Spatial Dependencies Encoding Module(CSM)and a Dynamic Temporal Connection Encoding Module(DTM).Specifically,the CSM is designed to capture complementary local and global spatial dependent information at both the joint level and the joint pair level.We further present DTM to encode diverse temporal evolution contexts and compress motion features to a deep level,enabling the model to capture both short-term and long-term dependencies efficiently.Extensive experiments conducted on the Human 3.6M and CMU Mocap datasets demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance in both short-term and long-term predictions,outperforming existing methods by up to 20.3% in accuracy.Furthermore,ablation studies confirm the significant contributions of the CSM and DTM in enhancing prediction accuracy.
文摘This study investigated the spatio-temporal variation characteristics of ecosystem service value(ESV)alongside its driving influencing factors,thereby offering valuable theoretical insights for the sustainable development of Jingzhou City,Hubei Province.Based on the land use data for Jingzhou City from 2000 to 2020,this study quantified the value of the ecological environment using the equivalent factor method.Furthermore,it analyzed and elucidated the spatio-temporal heterogeneity and driving mechanisms of ecosystem services in Jingzhou City.The results indicated that between 2000 and 2020,cultivated land(66.40%)and water area(18.82%)were the predominant land use types in Jingzhou City.The areas of water area and construction land exhibited a growth trend during this period.Construction land had the highest rate of land use change,followed by water area and cultivated land.Land use transitions primarily occurred between cultivated land and water area,as well as between cultivated land and construction land.The total value of ecosystem services in Jingzhou City increased by 165.07%from 2000 to 2020.ESV exhibited an upward trend from 2000 to 2015,followed by a gradual decline from 2015 to 2020.The ranking of individual ecosystem services,in descending order,was as follows:regulation services,supporting services,provisioning services,and cultural services.High-value ESV areas were predominantly situated in the water area of Lake Honghu,while low-value regions were mainly found in the cultivated land in the central and western parts of Jingzhou City.The spatial differentiation of ESV in Jingzhzou City was influenced by both natural and socio-economic factors,with natural factors exerting a more significant impact than socioeconomic factors.Specifically,the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI)was the dominant environmental factor,while GDP plays a synergistic role.

文摘To overcome the deficiencies of single-modal emotion recognition based on facial expression or bodily posture in natural scenes,a spatial guidance and temporal enhancement(SG-TE)network is proposed for facial-bodily emotion recognition.First,ResNet50,DNN and spatial ransformer models are used to capture facial texture vectors,bodily skeleton vectors and wholebody geometric vectors,and an intraframe correlation attention guidance(S-CAG)mechanism,which guides the facial texture vector and the bodily skeleton vector by the whole-body geometric vector,is designed to exploit the spatial potential emotional correlation between face and posture.Second,an interframe significant segment enhancement(T-SSE)structure is embedded into a temporal transformer to enhance high emotional intensity frame information and avoid emotional asynchrony.Finally,an adaptive weight assignment(M-AWA)strategy is constructed to realise facial-bodily fusion.The experimental results on the BabyRobot Emotion Dataset(BRED)and Context-Aware Emotion Recognition(CAER)dataset indicate that the proposed network reaches accuracies of 81.61%and 89.39%,which are 9.61%and 9.46%higher than those of the baseline network,respectively.Compared with the state-of-the-art methods,the proposed method achieves 7.73%and 20.57%higher accuracy than single-modal methods based on facial expression or bodily posture,respectively,and 2.16%higher accuracy than the dual-modal methods based on facial-bodily fusion.Therefore,the proposed method,which adaptively fuses the complementary information of face and posture,improves the quality of emotion recognition in real-world scenarios.
文摘Based on the data of meteorological elements and concentration of negative ions in the county town station,Luguhe station and Yunjishan station during 2020-2024,the temporal and spatial variations in the concentration of negative ions and their influencing factors in Xinfeng County were analyzed.The results show that the concentration of negative ions was the highest in summer,followed by spring;it was lower in autumn and the lowest in winter.In terms of diurnal variations,it was higher in the early morning and night,and lower in the noon and afternoon,which was closely related to the diurnal variations of human activities and meteorological conditions.The factors that affect the concentration of negative ions in the air are more complex.Besides meteorological factors,vegetation,altitude,human activities and other factors should be considered.

文摘Recently,information acquired at the canopy top,such as spectral and textural data,has been widely used to estimate plant nitrogen(N)accumulation(PNA).The response of crops to N uptake involves not only changes in horizontal canopy top information but also an increase in vertical plant height(PH).It remains unclear whether the fusion of spectral indices with PH can improve the estimation performance of PNA models based on spectral remote sensing across different growth stages.
文摘High-resolution spatiotemporal simulations effectively capture the complexities of atmospheric plume sion disper-in complex terrain.However,their high computational cost makes them impractical for applications requiring rapid responses or iterative processes,such as optimization,uncertainty quantification,or inverse modeling.To address this challenge,this work introduces the Dual-Stage Temporal Three-dimensional UNet Super-resolution(DST3D-UNet-SR)model,a highly efficient deep learning model for plume dispersion predictions.DST3D-UNet-SR is composed of two sequential modules:the temporal module(TM),which predicts the transient evolution of a plume in complex terrain from low-resolution temporal data,and the spatial refinement module(SRM),which subsequently enhances the spatial resolution of the TM predictions.We train DST3D-UNet-SR using a comprehensive dataset derived from high-resolution large eddy simulations(LES)of plume transport.We propose the DST3D-UNet-SR model to significantly accelerate LES of three-dimensional(3D)plume dispersion by three orders of magnitude.Additionally,the model demonstrates the ability to dynamically adapt to evolving conditions through the incorporation of new observational data,substantially improving prediction accuracy in high-concentration regions near the source.
文摘Smart grid substation operations often take place in hazardous environments and pose significant threats to the safety of power personnel.Relying solely on manual supervision can lead to inadequate oversight.In response to the demand for technology to identify improper operations in substation work scenarios,this paper proposes a substation safety action recognition technology to avoid the misoperation and enhance the safety management.In general,this paper utilizes a dual-branch transformer network to extract spatial and temporal information from the video dataset of operational behaviors in complex substation environments.Firstly,in order to capture the spatial-temporal correlation of people's behaviors in smart grid substation,we devise a sparse attention module and a segmented linear attention module that are embedded into spatial branch transformer and temporal branch transformer respectively.To avoid the redundancy of spatial and temporal information,we fuse the temporal and spatial features using a tensor decomposition fusion module by a decoupled manner.Experimental results indicate that our proposed method accurately detects improper operational behaviors in substation work scenarios,outperforming other existing methods in terms of detection and recognition accuracy.

文摘Ensuring a harmonious coexistence between man and nature is crucial for China’s economic and social development.However,with increasing industrialization and urbanization,there is a growing mismatch between China’s ecological resilience(ER)and economic level(EL)of development,which poses a notable social threat.Currently,the link between ER and EL in China remains unclear,especially in terms of spatial dislocation(SD),referring to the disconnect between the locations where environmental impacts occur and those where economic benefits or activities are concentrated.Therefore,this paper aims to provide theoretical support and an empirical basis for policy-based solutions to address this gap.Based on the SD theory,this study systematically discusses the temporal changes,spatial patterns,and SD characteristics of China’s ER and EL using spatial auto-correlation and barycentric analysis to analyze data from 30 provinces covering the period 2011-2021.The key results are as follows.China’s ER shows a general trend of growth;however,its distribution is uneven.The spatial pattern generally decreases from the southeastern coastal provinces to the northwest.Moreover,a gradually increasing positive correlation is observed between the ER and EL,but this correlation varies by region,with some showing regional linkages and others developing independently.Finally,the dislocation index of ER and EL presents divergent results based on region-the eastern and central regions primarily show a high level of dislocation,whereas the western and northeastern regions show a low level of dislocation.The results provide a comprehensive overview of the spatiotemporal patterns in the association between ER and EL in China.The results emphasize that to balance sustainable regional development and ecological governance,a region-specific approach must be employed,prioritizing innovation-driven strategies for high ER in more developed regions and market-oriented strategies in less developed regions.

文摘Spatial transcriptomics technology provides novel insights into the spatial organization of gene expression during embryonic development.In this study,we propose a method that integrates analysis across both temporal and spatial dimensions to investigate spatial transcriptomics data from mouse embryos at different developmental stages.We quantified the spatial expression pattern of each gene at various stages by calculating its Moran’s I.Furthermore,by employing time-series clustering to identify dynamic co-expression modules,we identified several developmentally stage-specific regulatory gene modules.A key finding was the presence of distinct,stage-specific gene network modules across different developmental periods:Early modules focused on morphogenesis,mid-stage on organ development,and late-stage on neural and tissue maturation.Functional enrichment analysis further confirmed the core biological functions of each module.The dynamic,spatially-resolved gene expression model constructed in this study not only provides new biological insights into the programmed spatiotemporal reorganization of gene regulatory networks during embryonic development but also presents an effective approach for analyzing complex spatiotemporal omics data.This work provides a new perspective for understanding developmental biology,regenerative medicine,and related fields.
文摘To conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current status of water environment quality in Yilong Lake,a systematic study was undertaken to characterize the evolution of water quality.This study utilized monthly data on water quality indicators collected from three monitoring sections of Yilong Lake between 2016 and 2023,employing the Mann-Kendall trend test and ArcGIS spatial interpolation technique.The results indicated that the five-day biochemical oxygen demand(BOD5),total nitrogen(TN),and chlorophyll a(Chla)exhibited an overall increasing trend,whereas other indicators demonstrated a decreasing trend.The permanganate index(PI),chemical oxygen demand(COD),TN,and Chla were observed in the following order:east of the lake>middle of the lake>west of the lake.In contrast,the BOD5 and total phosphorus(TP)were ranked as west of the lake>east of the lake>middle of the lake.Additionally,ammonia nitrogen(NH3-N)was found to be in the order of east of the lake>west of the lake>middle of the lake,while transparency was ranked as west of the lake>middle of the lake>east of the lake.Urban domestic sewage,effluent from industrial parks,domestic waste generated by rural residents’production and daily activities,agricultural waste,wastewater from decentralized farming,domestic sewage,and point source discharges from the soybean processing industry are the primary contributors to the exceedance of water quality standards.The enhancement of a precise pollution control system,along with the regulation of pollution sources and the interception of pollutants,can significantly diminish the pollution load entering the lake.This approach is essential for the protection and restoration of river and lake ecosystems,thereby facilitating the gradual recovery of their ecological functions.Additionally,the implementation of ecological water replenishment and the recycling of water resources can improve the capacity of the water environment.Furthermore,bolstering scientific and technological support,as well as comprehensive supervision and assurance measures,is crucial to ensuring that water quality remains stable and adheres to established standards.

文摘Surface ozone(O_(3))is a major air pollutant and draw increasing attention in the Pearl River Delta(PRD),China.Here,we characterize the spatial-temporal variability of ozone based on a dataset obtained from 57 national monitoring sites during 2013-2019.Our results show that:(1)the seasonal difference of ozone distribution in the inland and coastal areas was significant,which was largely affected by the wind pattern reversals related to the East Asian monsoon,and local ozone production and destruction;(2)the daily maximum 8hr average(MDA8 O_(3))showed an overall upward trend by 1.11 ppbv/year.While the trends in the nine cities varied differently by ranging from-0.12 to 2.51 ppbv/year.The hot spots of ozone were spreading to southwestern areas from the central areas since 2016.And ozone is becoming a year-round air pollution problem with the pollution season extending to winter and spring in PRD region.(3)at the central and southwestern PRD cities,the percentage of exceedance days from the continuous type(defined as≥3 days)was increasing.Furthermore,the ozone concentration of continuous type was much higher than that of scattered exceedance type(<3 days).In addition,although the occurrence of continuous type starts to decline since2017,the total number of exceedance days during the continuous type is increasing.These results indicate that it is more difficult to eliminate the continuous exceedance than the scatter pollution days and highlight the great challenge in mitigation of O_(3)pollution in these cities.

文摘Background Cervical cancer is the only cancer that can be eliminated worldwide.Tracking the latest burden of cervical cancer is critical toward the targets set by World Health Organization(WHO)to eliminate cervical cancer as a major public health problem.Methods All data were extracted from the Global Cancer Observatory(GLOBOCAN)2022.Age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR)and mortality rates(ASMR)of cervical cancer were compared and linked to Human Development Index(HDI)between populations.The estimated annual percentage changes(EAPCs)were used to characterize the temporal trend in ASIR/ASMR,and demographic estimates were projected up to 2050.Results Globally,an estimated 662,044 cases(ASIR:14.12/100,000)and 348,709 deaths(ASMR:7.08/100,000)from cervical cancer occurred in 2022,corresponding to the fourth cause of cancer morbidity and mortality in women worldwide.Specifically,42%of cases and 39%of deaths occurred in China(23%and 16%)and India(19%and 23%).Both ASIR and ASMR of cervical cancer decreased with HDI,and similar decreasing links were observed for both early-onset(0–39 years)and late-onset(≥40 years)cervical cancer.Both ASIR and ASMR of overall cervical cancer showed decreasing trends during 2003–2012(EAPC:0.04%and-1.03%);however,upward trends were observed for early-onset cervical cancer(EAPC:1.16%and 0.57%).If national rates in 2022 remain stable,the estimated cases and deaths from cervical cancer are projected to increase by 56.8%and 80.7%up to 2050.Moreover,the projected increase of early-onset cervical cancer is mainly observed in transitioning countries,while decreased burden is expected in transitioned countries.Conclusions Cervical cancer remains a common cause of cancer death in many countries,especially in transitioning countries.Unless scaling-up preventive interventions,human papillomavirus(HPV)vaccination and cervical cancer screening,as well as systematic cooperation within government,civil societies,and private enterprises,the global burden of cervical cancer would be expected to increase in the future.

文摘Background The gut microbiota influences chicken health,welfare,and productivity.A diverse and balanced microbiota has been associated with improved growth,efficient feed utilisation,a well-developed immune system,disease resistance,and stress tolerance in chickens.Previous studies on chicken gut microbiota have predominantly focused on broiler chickens and have usually been limited to one or two sections of the digestive system,under con-trolled research environments,and often sampled at a single time point.To extend these studies,this investigation examined the microbiota of commercially raised layer chickens across all major gut sections of the digestive system and with regular sampling from rearing to the end of production at 80 weeks.The aim was to build a detailed picture of microbiota development across the entire digestive system of layer chickens and study spatial and temporal dynamics.Results The taxonomic composition of gut microbiota differed significantly between birds in the rearing and pro-duction stages,indicating a shift after laying onset.Similar microbiota compositions were observed between proven-triculus and gizzard,as well as between jejunum and ileum,likely due to their anatomical proximity.Lactobacil-lus dominated the upper gut in pullets and the lower gut in older birds.The oesophagus had a high proportion of Proteobacteria,including opportunistic pathogens such as Gallibacterium.Relative abundance of Gallibacterium increased after peak production in multiple gut sections.Aeriscardovia was enriched in the late-lay phase compared to younger birds in multiple gut sections.Age influenced microbial richness and diversity in different organs.The upper gut showed decreased diversity over time,possibly influenced by dietary changes,while the lower gut,specifi-cally cecum and colon,displayed increased richness as birds matured.However,age-related changes were inconsist-ent across all organs,suggesting the influence of organ-specific factors in microbiota maturation.Conclusion Addressing a gap in previous research,this study explored the microbiota across all major gut sections and tracked their dynamics from rearing to the end of the production cycle in commercially raised layer chickens.This study provides a comprehensive understanding of microbiota structure and development which help to develop targeted strategies to optimise gut health and overall productivity in poultry production.

文摘Video snapshot compressive imaging(Video SCI) modulates scenes using various encoding masks and captures compressed measurements with a low-speed camera during a single exposure. Subsequently, reconstruction algorithms restore image sequences of dynamic scenes, offering advantages such as reduced bandwidth and storage space requirements. The temporal correlation in video data is crucial for Video SCI, as it leverages the temporal relationships among frames to enhance the efficiency and quality of reconstruction algorithms, particularly for fast-moving objects.This paper discretizes video frames to create image datasets with the same data volume but differing temporal correlations. We utilized the state-of-the-art(SOTA) reconstruction framework, EfficientSCI++, to train various compressed reconstruction models with these differing temporal correlations. Evaluating the reconstruction results from these models, our simulation experiments confirm that a reduction in temporal correlation leads to decreased reconstruction accuracy. Additionally, we simulated the reconstruction outcomes of datasets devoid of temporal correlation, illustrating that models trained on non-temporal data affect the temporal feature extraction capabilities of transformers, resulting in negligible impacts on the evaluation of reconstruction results for non-temporal correlation test datasets.
