Our research indicates that carbon emission intensity from industrial structures in the Xuzhou Metropolitan Area at first showed an increasing trend, which then decreased. Furthermore, the relationship between emissions and industrial economic growth has been trending toward absolute decoupling. From the perspective of the center-periphery, the Xuzhou Metropolitan Area formed a concentric pattern, where both progress towards low emissions and the level of technological advancement gradually diminished from the center to the periphery. In terms of variation across provinces, the ISCB index in the eastern Henan has decreased the slowest, followed by the southern Shandong and the northern Anhui, with the northern Jiangsu ranking last. During this period, resource-and labor-intensive industries were the primary growth industries in the northern Anhui and the eastern Henan, while labor-intensive industries dominated the southern Shandong and capital-intensive industries dominated the northern Jiangsu. In terms of city types, the spatial pattern for industrial structure indicates that recession resource-based cities had higher carbon emission intensities than mature resource-based cities, followed by non-resource-based cities and regenerative resource-based cities. Generally, the industrial structure in the Xuzhou Metropolitan Area has transformed from being resource-intensive to capital-intensive, and has been trending toward technology-intensive as resource availability has been exploited to exhaustion and then been regenerated. Industrial structure has been the leading factor causing heterogeneity of carbon emission intensities between metropolitan cities. Therefore, the key to optimizing the industrial structure and layout of metropolitan areas is to promote industrial structure transformation and improve the system controlling collaborative industrial development between cities.展开更多

Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) is an effective low-voltage, off-line diagnostic tool used for finding out any possible winding displacement or mechanical deterioration inside the Transformer, due to large electromechanical forces occurring from the fault currents or due to Transformer transportation and relocation. In this method, the frequency response of a transformer is taken both at manufacturing industry and concern site. Then both the response is compared to predict the fault taken place in active part. But in old aged transformers, the primary reference response is unavailable. So Cross Correlation Co-Efficient (CCF) measurement technique can be a vital process for fault detection in these transformers. In this paper, theoretical background of SFRA technique has been elaborated and through several case studies, the effectiveness of CCF parameter for fault detection has been represented.展开更多

Although CNNs have made significant advancements in medical imaging, their limited capacity to capture long-range dependencies has led to the exploration of ViTs, which leverage self-attention mechanisms for a more comprehensive global understanding of images. The study utilized a dataset of 748 lung CT images to train both models with standardized input sizes, assessing their performance through conventional metrics—accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, specificity, and AUC—as well as cross entropy, a novel metric for evaluating prediction uncertainty. Both models achieved similar accuracy rates (95%), with ViT demonstrating a slight edge over ResNet50 in precision and F1 scores for specific classes. However, ResNet50 exhibited higher recall for LULC, indicating fewer missed cases. Cross entropy analysis showed that the ViT model had lower average uncertainty, particularly in the LUAD, Normal, and LUSC classes, compared to ResNet50. This finding suggests that ViT predictions are generally more reliable, though ResNet50 performed better for LULC. The study underscores that accuracy alone is insufficient for model comparison, as cross entropy offers deeper insights into the reliability and confidence of model predictions. The results highlight the importance of incorporating cross entropy alongside traditional metrics for a more comprehensive evaluation of deep learning models in medical image classification, providing a nuanced understanding of their performance and reliability. While the ViT outperformed the CNN-based ResNet50 in lung cancer classification based on cross-entropy values, the performance differences were minor and may not hold clinical significance. Therefore, it may be premature to consider replacing CNNs with ViTs in this specific application.展开更多

The occurrence of strong earthquakes along Chile and the sunspots activity are analyzed to inspect possible influence of solar cycles on earthquakes. The cross wavelet transform and wavelet coherence analysis were applied for sequences of sunspots and earthquakes activity. An 8 - 12 years modulation of earthquakes activity has been identified.展开更多
