After loading a green MOT of ^(171)Yb atoms, the phase shift is obtained with a two-color Mach–Zehnder interferometer by means of ±45 MHz detuning with respect to the ^(1)S_(0)–^(1)P_(1) transition. We measured a phase shift of about 100 mrad corresponding to an atom count of around 5 × 10^(5). This demonstrates that it is possible to obtain the number of atoms without direct destructive measurement compared with the absorption imaging method. This scheme could be an important approach towards a high-precision lattice clock for clock operation through suppression of the impact of the Dick effect.展开更多

文摘Aiming at the problems of inaccuracy in detecting theαphase contour of TB6 titanium alloy.By combining computer vision technology with human vision mechanisms,the spatial characteristics of theαphase can be simulated to obtain the contour accurately.Therefore,an algorithm forαphase contour detection of TB6 titanium alloy fused with multi-scale fretting features is proposed.Firstly,through the response of the classical receptive field model based on fretting and the suppression of new non-classical receptive field model based on fretting,the information maps of theαphase contour of the TB6 titanium alloy at different scales are obtained;then the information map of the smallest scale contour is used as a benchmark,the neighborhood is constructed to judge the deviation of other scale contour information,and the corresponding weight value is calculated;finally,Gaussian function is used to weight and fuse the deviation information,and the contour detection result of TB6 titanium alloyαphase is obtained.In the Visual Studio 2013 environment,484 metallographic images with different temperatures,strain rates,and magnifications were tested.The results show that the performance evaluation F value of the proposed algorithm is 0.915,which can effectively improve the accuracy ofαphase contour detection of TB6 titanium alloy.

文摘Lung cancer continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide,emphasizing the critical need for improved diagnostic techniques.Early detection of lung tumors significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and survival.However,current diagnostic methods often fail to detect tumors at an early stage or to accurately pinpoint their location within the lung tissue.Single-model deep learning technologies for lung cancer detection,while beneficial,cannot capture the full range of features present in medical imaging data,leading to incomplete or inaccurate detection.Furthermore,it may not be robust enough to handle the wide variability in medical images due to different imaging conditions,patient anatomy,and tumor characteristics.To overcome these disadvantages,dual-model or multi-model approaches can be employed.This research focuses on enhancing the detection of lung cancer by utilizing a combination of two learning models:a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)for categorization and the You Only Look Once(YOLOv8)architecture for real-time identification and pinpointing of tumors.CNNs automatically learn to extract hierarchical features from raw image data,capturing patterns such as edges,textures,and complex structures that are crucial for identifying lung cancer.YOLOv8 incorporates multiscale feature extraction,enabling the detection of tumors of varying sizes and scales within a single image.This is particularly beneficial for identifying small or irregularly shaped tumors that may be challenging to detect.Furthermore,through the utilization of cutting-edge data augmentation methods,such as Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks(DCGAN),the suggested approach can handle the issue of limited data and boost the models’ability to learn from diverse and comprehensive datasets.The combined method not only improved accuracy and localization but also ensured efficient real-time processing,which is crucial for practical clinical applications.The CNN achieved an accuracy of 97.67%in classifying lung tissues into healthy and cancerous categories.The YOLOv8 model achieved an Intersection over Union(IoU)score of 0.85 for tumor localization,reflecting high precision in detecting and marking tumor boundaries within the images.Finally,the incorporation of synthetic images generated by DCGAN led to a 10%improvement in both the CNN classification accuracy and YOLOv8 detection performance.
文摘Onemust interact with a specific webpage or website in order to use the Internet for communication,teamwork,and other productive activities.However,because phishing websites look benign and not all website visitors have the same knowledge and skills to inspect the trustworthiness of visited websites,they are tricked into disclosing sensitive information and making them vulnerable to malicious software attacks like ransomware.It is impossible to stop attackers fromcreating phishingwebsites,which is one of the core challenges in combating them.However,this threat can be alleviated by detecting a specific website as phishing and alerting online users to take the necessary precautions before handing over sensitive information.In this study,five machine learning(ML)and DL algorithms—cat-boost(CATB),gradient boost(GB),random forest(RF),multilayer perceptron(MLP),and deep neural network(DNN)—were tested with three different reputable datasets and two useful feature selection techniques,to assess the scalability and consistency of each classifier’s performance on varied dataset sizes.The experimental findings reveal that the CATB classifier achieved the best accuracy across all datasets(DS-1,DS-2,and DS-3)with respective values of 97.9%,95.73%,and 98.83%.The GB classifier achieved the second-best accuracy across all datasets(DS-1,DS-2,and DS-3)with respective values of 97.16%,95.18%,and 98.58%.MLP achieved the best computational time across all datasets(DS-1,DS-2,and DS-3)with respective values of 2,7,and 3 seconds despite scoring the lowest accuracy across all datasets.
文摘Low-voltage direct current(DC)microgrids have recently emerged as a promising and viable alternative to traditional alternating cur-rent(AC)microgrids,offering numerous advantages.Consequently,researchers are exploring the potential of DC microgrids across var-ious configurations.However,despite the sustainability and accuracy offered by DC microgrids,they pose various challenges when integrated into modern power distribution systems.Among these challenges,fault diagnosis holds significant importance.Rapid fault detection in DC microgrids is essential to maintain stability and ensure an uninterrupted power supply to critical loads.A primary chal-lenge is the lack of standards and guidelines for the protection and safety of DC microgrids,including fault detection,location,and clear-ing procedures for both grid-connected and islanded modes.In response,this study presents a brief overview of various approaches for protecting DC microgrids.
文摘Face recognition has emerged as one of the most prominent applications of image analysis and under-standing,gaining considerable attention in recent years.This growing interest is driven by two key factors:its extensive applications in law enforcement and the commercial domain,and the rapid advancement of practical technologies.Despite the significant advancements,modern recognition algorithms still struggle in real-world conditions such as varying lighting conditions,occlusion,and diverse facial postures.In such scenarios,human perception is still well above the capabilities of present technology.Using the systematic mapping study,this paper presents an in-depth review of face detection algorithms and face recognition algorithms,presenting a detailed survey of advancements made between 2015 and 2024.We analyze key methodologies,highlighting their strengths and restrictions in the application context.Additionally,we examine various datasets used for face detection/recognition datasets focusing on the task-specific applications,size,diversity,and complexity.By analyzing these algorithms and datasets,this survey works as a valuable resource for researchers,identifying the research gap in the field of face detection and recognition and outlining potential directions for future research.

文摘Cycle slip detection and repair is one of the key technologies for GNSS high-precision positioning.We introduce an enhanced methodology for detecting and repairing BDS four-frequency cycle slips,utilizing fuzzy clustering analysis.Firstly,based on fuzzy clustering analysis,the optimal combinations for the BDS four-frequency,including extra-wide lane(EWL),wide lane(WL),and narrow lane(NL),were selected.Secondly,the feasibility of this method was verified using actual static and dynamic observation data,and different types of cycle slips were simulated for further validation.Meanwhile,the proposed method was compared with the classical Turbo-Edit method through experiments.Finally,cycle slips were repaired using the least squares method.According to the experimental results,the optimal geometry-free phase combinations(-2,2,1,-1),(1,-1,1,-1),(3,2,-2,-3),and the pseudo-range phase combination(-1,1,1,-1),selected based on fuzzy clustering analysis,were used for cycle slip detection.The proposed method accurately detected small,large,and specific cycle slips simulated in the actual data.Compared with the Turbo-Edit method,the proposed methodwas able to detect specific cycle slips that Turbo-Edit could not.It is worth noting that during the repair process,the coefficients of the combined observation values are integers,preserving the integer cycle characteristic of the observation values,which allows cycle slips to be fixed directly,eliminating the need for complex searching procedures.Consequently,by enhancing the precision and reliability of the detection of BDS four-frequency cycle slips,our proposed method provides the support for the high-precision localization of BDS multi-frequency observations.

文摘We present the experimental demonstration of nondestructive detection of ^(171)Yb atoms in a magneto-optical trap(MOT) based on phase shift measurement induced by the atoms on a weak off-resonant laser beam. After loading a green MOT of ^(171)Yb atoms, the phase shift is obtained with a two-color Mach–Zehnder interferometer by means of ±45 MHz detuning with respect to the ^(1)S_(0)–^(1)P_(1) transition. We measured a phase shift of about 100 mrad corresponding to an atom count of around 5 × 10^(5). This demonstrates that it is possible to obtain the number of atoms without direct destructive measurement compared with the absorption imaging method. This scheme could be an important approach towards a high-precision lattice clock for clock operation through suppression of the impact of the Dick effect.

文摘The uncontrolled release of antibiotics into the environment would be extremely harmful to human health and ecosystems.Therefore,it is in urgent need to monitor the environment and promote the detection and degradation of antibiotics to the relatively harmless by-products to a feasible extent.Graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4))is a non-metallic n-type semiconductor that can be used for the antibiotic detection and degradation due to its easy synthesis process,excellent chemical stability and unique optical properties.Unfortunately,the utilization of visible light,electron-hole recombination and electron conductivity have hindered its potential applications in the fields of photocatalytic degradation and electrochemical detection.Although previous publications have highlighted the diverse modification methods for the g-C_(3)N_(4)-based materials,the underlying structure-performance relationships of g-C_(3)N_(4),especially for the detection and degradation of antibiotics,remains to be further explored.In view of this,the current review centered on the recent progress in the modification techniques of g-C_(3)N_(4),the detection and degradation of antibiotics using the g-C_(3)N_(4)-based materials,as well as the potential antibiotic degradation mechanisms of the g-C_(3)N_(4)-based materials.Additionally,the underlying applications of the g-C_(3)N_(4)-based materials for antibiotic detection and degradation were also prospected.This review would provide a valuable research foundation and the up-to-date information for the g-C_(3)N_(4)-based materials to combat antibiotic pollution in the environment.

文摘Advanced Persistent Threats(APTs)represent one of the most complex and dangerous categories of cyber-attacks characterised by their stealthy behaviour,long-term persistence,and ability to bypass traditional detection systems.The complexity of real-world network data poses significant challenges in detection.Machine learning models have shown promise in detecting APTs;however,their performance often suffers when trained on large datasets with redundant or irrelevant features.This study presents a novel,hybrid feature selection method designed to improve APT detection by reducing dimensionality while preserving the informative characteristics of the data.It combines Mutual Information(MI),Symmetric Uncertainty(SU)and Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance(mRMR)to enhance feature selection.MI and SU assess feature relevance,while mRMR maximises relevance and minimises redundancy,ensuring that the most impactful features are prioritised.This method addresses redundancy among selected features,improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the detection model.Experiments on a real-world APT datasets were conducted to evaluate the proposed method.Multiple classifiers including,Random Forest,Support Vector Machine(SVM),Gradient Boosting,and Neural Networks were used to assess classification performance.The results demonstrate that the proposed feature selection method significantly enhances detection accuracy compared to baseline models trained on the full feature set.The Random Forest algorithm achieved the highest performance,with near-perfect accuracy,precision,recall,and F1 scores(99.97%).The proposed adaptive thresholding algorithm within the selection method allows each classifier to benefit from a reduced and optimised feature space,resulting in improved training and predictive performance.This research offers a scalable and classifier-agnostic solution for dimensionality reduction in cybersecurity applications.
文摘Lithium-sulfur battery(LSB)has attracted worldwide attention owing to its overwhelmingly high theoretical energy density of 2600Wh/kg due to the unique 16-electron electrochemical conversion reaction of elemental sulfur(S_(8))[1].However,the electrochemical conversion reaction of S_(8) is an exceedingly complex process that involves the generation of multiple intermediates(e.g.,lithium polysulfides(LiPSs))and multiphase transitions[1,2].Currently,the mechanistic investigations of the electrochemical conversion reaction of S_(8) upon discharging a LSB cell heavily rely on electrochemical titration and spectroscopic techniques[3].Nevertheless,the considerable complexity and intrinsic instability of the LSB system present substantial obstacles to obtaining accurate information for all sulfur-containing species,which significantly obstructs in-depth elucidation of the fundamental discharge mechanism of LSB[3,4].

文摘Nitrogen oxides(NO_(x))are crucial in tropospheric photochemical ozone(O_(3))production and oxidation capacity.Currently,the widely used NO_(x)measurement technique is chemiluminescence(CL)(CL-NO_(x)),which tends to overestimate NO_(2)due to atmospheric oxidation products of NO_(x)(i.e.,NO_(z)).We developed and characterized a NO_(x)measurement system using the cavity attenuated phase shift(CAPS)technique(CAPS-NO_(x)),which is free from interferences with nitrogen-containing species.The NO_(x)measured by the CAPS-NO_(x)and CL-NO_(x)analyzers were compared.Results show that both analyzers showed consistent measurement results for NO,but the NO_(2)measured by the CAPS-NO_(x)analyzer(NO_(2)_CAPS)was mostly lower than that measured by the CL-NO_(x)analyzer(NO_(2)_CL),which led to the deviations in O_(3)formation sensitivity regime and O_(x)(=O_(3)+NO_(2))sources(i.e.,regional background and photochemically produced O_(x))determined by the ozone production efficiencies(OPE)calculated from NO_(2)_CL and NO_(2)_CAPS.Overall,OPE_CL exceeded OPE_CAPS by 18.9%,which shifted 3 out of 13 observation days from the VOCs-limited to the transition regime when judging using OPE_CL,as compared to calculations using OPE_CAPS.During the observation period,days dominated by regional background O_(x)accounted for 46%and 62%when determined using NO_(2)_CL and NO_(2)_CAPS,respectively.These findings suggest that the use of the CL-NO_(x)analyzer tends to underestimate both the VOCs-limited regime and the regional background O_(x)dominated days.The newly built CAPS-NO_(x)analyzer here can promote the accurate measurement of NO_(2),which is meaningful for diagnosing O_(3)formation regimes and O_(x)sources.

文摘A novel method based on independent component analysis and phase congruency is proposed for detecting defects in textile fabric images. By independent component, we can obtain textile structural features of fabric-free images. By phase congru- ency, structure information is reduced, which can distinguish the defect region from the defect-free regions. Finally, we have the detecting result from binary image which is obtained by a thresh- old step, Compared with other algorithms, the proposed method not only has robustness with high detection rate, but also detects various types of defects quite well.
