文摘Modern battlefields exhibit high dynamism,where traditional static weighting methods in combat effectiveness assessment fail to capture real-time changes in indicator values,leading to limited assessment accuracy—especially critical in scenarios like sudden electronic warfare or degraded command,where static weights cannot reflect the operational value decay or surge of key indicators.To address this issue,this study proposes a dynamic adaptive weightingmethod for evaluation indicators based onG1-CRITIC-PIVW.First,theG1(Sequential Relationship Analysis Method)subjective weighting method—translates expert knowledge into indicator importance rankings—leverages expert knowledge to quantify the relative importance of indicators via sequential relationship ranking,while the CRITIC(Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation)objective weighting method—derives weights from data characteristics by integrating variability and inter-correlations—calculates weights by integrating indicator variability and inter-indicator correlations,ensuring data-driven objectivity.These two sets of weights are then fused using a deviation coefficient optimization model,minimizing the squared deviation from a reference weight and adjusting the fusion coefficient via Spearman’s rank correlation to resolve potential conflicts between subjective and objective judgments.Subsequently,the PIVW(Punishment-Incentive VariableWeight)theory—adapts weights to realtime indicator performance via penalty/incentive rules—is applied for dynamic adjustment.Scenario-specific penalty λ_(1) and incentive λ_(2) thresholds are set based on operational priorities and indicator volatility,penalizing indicators with values below λ_(1) and incentivizing those exceeding λ_(2) to reflect real-time indicator performance.Experimental validation was conducted using an Air Defense and Anti-Missile(ADAM)system effectiveness assessment framework,with data covering 7 indicators across 3 combat scenarios.Results show that compared to static weighting methods,the proposed method reduces MAE(Mean Absolute Error)by 15%-20% and weighted decision error rate by 84.2%,effectively reducing overestimation/underestimation of combat effectiveness in dynamic scenarios;compared to Entropy-TOPSIS,it lowers MAE by 12% while achieving a weighted Kendall’sτconsistency coefficient of 0.85,ensuring higher alignment with expert judgment.This method enhances the accuracy and scenario adaptability of effectiveness assessment,providing reliable decision support for dynamic battlefield environments.

文摘The orthogonal time frequency space(OTFS)modulation is a novel modulation scheme that can effectively cope with the high Doppler expansion caused by high mobility.Since it modulates data on delay-Doppler(DD)domain and makes full use of the sparse characteristics of DD domain,it has been widely studied to design efficient channel estimation and signal detection schemes.In this paper,we design a novel superimposed pilot pattern with transition band,which replaces the traditional embedded pilot(EP)guard zero-symbols,and perform a two-stage channel estimation.In the first stage,we fully utilize the dispersion characteristics of OTFS signal in DD domain,and use threshold decision to make coarse channel estimation.In the second stage,we use the results of the coarse estimation for iterative signal detection and accurate channel estimation.During the second stage,we make full use of the sparsity of the channel in DD domain,remodel the received signal into the form of sparse channel vector multiplied by channel coefficient matrix,and introduce Doppler index segmentation factor(DISF)to subdivide the Doppler index to solve the problem of fractional Doppler.Simulations reveal that,the scheme proposed in this paper has higher spectral efficiency compared with traditional EP scheme and lower peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR)compared with traditional superimposed pilot scheme.

文摘Real-time multi-person pose estimation(MPE)built upon neural network architectures aims to simultaneously detect multiple human instances and regress joint coordinates in dynamic scenes.However,due to factors such as high model complexity and limited expression of keypoint information,both the efficiency and accuracy of real-time MPE remain to be improved.To mitigate the adverse impacts caused by the aforementioned issues,this work develops FSEM-Pose,a real-time MPE model rooted in the YOLOv10 framework.In detail,first,FSEM-Pose upgrades the backbone module of the baseline network by introducing the Feature Shuffling-Convolution(FS-Conv),which effectively reduces the backbone size while maximizing the retention of spatial information from the input image.Second,FSEM-Pose incorporates a Feature Saliency Enhancement Module(FSEM)to strengthen the feature encoding of human keypoints,thereby improving the accuracy of pose estimation.Finally,FSEM-Pose further enhances inference efficiency via a lightweight optimization of the head using shared convolutional layers.Our method achieves competitive results across multiple accuracy and efficiency metrics on the MS COCO 2017 and CrowdPose datasets.While being lightweight in design,it improves average precision(AP)by 2.1%and 2.5%,respectively.
文摘With the increasing complexity of vehicular networks and the proliferation of connected vehicles,Federated Learning(FL)has emerged as a critical framework for decentralized model training while preserving data privacy.However,efficient client selection and adaptive weight allocation in heterogeneous and non-IID environments remain challenging.To address these issues,we propose Federated Learning with Client Selection and Adaptive Weighting(FedCW),a novel algorithm that leverages adaptive client selection and dynamic weight allocation for optimizing model convergence in real-time vehicular networks.FedCW selects clients based on their Euclidean distance from the global model and dynamically adjusts aggregation weights to optimize both data diversity and model convergence.Experimental results show that FedCW significantly outperforms existing FL algorithms such as FedAvg,FedProx,and SCAFFOLD,particularly in non-IID settings,achieving faster convergence,higher accuracy,and reduced communication overhead.These findings demonstrate that FedCW provides an effective solution for enhancing the performance of FL in heterogeneous,edge-based computing environments.

文摘Thousand-seed weight(TSW)is a critical target for genetic improvement in rapeseed(Brassica napus L.).However,phenotypic selection for this trait remains challenging due to its polygenic regulation by multiple quantitative trait loci(QTL).Here,six favorable TSW QTL alleles from two donor parents were introgress into an elite restorer line,621R,using an integrated strategy combining marker-assisted backcrossing and speed breeding protocols.Through six rounds of backcrossing and convergent crossing followed by two generations of selfing strategies,we developed 13 advanced lines with diverse TSW QTL combinations within 24 months.Field evaluations across three environments revealed that all lines exhibited significantly increased TSW in spring conditions(Minle,Gansu)and winter environments(Wuhan and Jiangling,Hubei)except for two lines which only showed increase in the spring environment.Hybridization assays using these lines as male parents crossed with two male-sterile lines(RG430A and 616A)demonstrated transgressive segregation for TSW:For RG430A-derived hybrids,all crosses significantly outperformed the original control(RG430A×621R)in Wuhan,with 8/13 and 9/13 crosses showing significant TSW increases in Minle and Jiangling,respectively.For 616A-derived hybrids,11/13 and 10/13 crosses exhibited significant TSW enhancement in Minle and Jiangling,compared to 3/13 in Wuhan.Notably,two top-performing hybrids achieved 13.0%and 6.8%higher plot yields,respectively.Our results demonstrate that strategic pyramiding of complementary TSW QTL alleles effectively enhances seed weight in rapeseed,and these improved lines represent valuable genetic resources for developing high-yield hybrids.

文摘This paper is dedicated to fixed-time passivity and synchronization for multi-weighted spatiotemporal directed networks.First,to achieve fixed-time passivity,a type of decentralized power-law controller is developed,in which only one parameter needs to be adjusted in the power-law terms;this greatly decreases the inconvenience of parameter adjustment.Second,several fixed-time passivity criteria with LMI forms are derived by using a Gauss divergence theorem to deal with the spatial diffusion of nodes and by applying the Hölder’s inequality to dispose rigorously the power-law term greater than one in the designed control scheme;this improves the previous theoretical analysis.Additionally,the fixed-time synchronization of spatiotemporal directed networks with multi-weights is addressed as a direct result of fixed-time strict passivity.Finally,a numerical example is presented in order to show the validity of the theoretical analysis.

文摘In GNSS-denied environments,signals of opportunity(SOP)offer an efficient and passive solution for navigation and positioning by utilizing ambient signals.Nevertheless,conventional SOP techniques face significant challenges in real-time processing,especially under sub-Nyquist sampling conditions,due to high data acquisition rates and offgrid errors.To address this,this paper proposes the signal reconstruction and kernel sparse encoding(SRKSE)model,a novel general framework for high-precision parameter estimation.By combining compressed sensing with a deep unfolding network,the SRKSE model not only achieves robust signal reconstruction but also effectively reduces quantization errors.Key innovations of SRKSE include dual crossattention mechanisms for enhanced feature extraction,sinc sparse kernel encoding to minimize quantization errors,and a custom loss function for balanced optimization.With these advancements,SRKSE achieves up to a 650-fold improvement in time of arrival(TOA)estimation accuracy while operating at just 1%of the Nyquist sampling rate.The SRKSE surpasses both conventional and deep learning-based techniques in accuracy and efficiency,especially when operating under sub-Nyquist sampling conditions.Simulations and real-world experiments confirm the reliability and potential of SRKSE for real-time applications in IoT and wireless communication.

文摘Lithium-ion(Li-ion)batteries stand as the dominant energy storage solution,despite their widespread adoption,precisely determining the state of charge(SOC)continues to pose significant difficulties,with direct implications for battery safety,operational reliability,and overall performance.Current SOC estimation techniques often demonstrate limited accuracy,particularly when confronted with complex operational scenarios and wide temperature variations,where their generalization capacity and dynamic adaptation prove insufficient.To address these shortcomings,this work presents a PSO-TCN-Transformer network model for SOC estimation.This research uses the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)method to automatically configure the architectural parameters of the Temporal Convolutional Network(TCN)and Transformer components.This automated optimization enhances the model’s ability to represent the dynamically evolving nature of SOC.Additionally,this integrated framework significantly increases the model’s capacity to capture SOC dynamics in complex operational scenarios.During training and evaluation using a comprehensive dataset that covers complex operating conditions and a broad temperature spanning from−20℃ to 40℃,the proposed model achieves a root mean square error(RMSE)of less than 0.6%,a maximum absolute error(MAXE)below 4.0%,and a coefficient of determination(R^(2))of 99.99%.Additional comparative experiments on data from an energy storage company further verify the model’s superior performance,with an RMSE of 1.18%and an MAXE of 1.95%.The implications of this work extend to the development of optimization strategies and hybrid architectures,providing insights that can be adapted for state estimation across a range of complex dynamic systems.

文摘The growing use of lithium-ion batteries in electric transportation and grid-scale storage systems has intensified the need for accurate and highly generalizable state-of-health(SOH)estimation.Conventional approaches often suffer from reduced accuracy under dynamically uncertain state-of-charge(SOC)operating ranges and heterogeneous aging stresses.This study presents a unified SOH estimation framework that integrates physics-informed modeling,subspace identification,and Transformer-based learning.A reduced-order model is derived from simplified electrochemical dynamics,providing an interpretable and computationally efficient representation of battery behavior.Subspace identification across a wide SOC and SOH range yields degradation-sensitive features,which the Transformer uses to capture long-range aging dynamics via multi-head self-attention.Experiments on LiFePO4 cells under joint-cell training show consistently accurate SOH estimation,with a maximum error of 1.39%,demonstrating the framework’s effectiveness in decoupling SOC and SOH effects.In cross-cell validation,where training and validation are performed on different cells,the model maintains a maximum error of 2.06%,confirming strong generalization to unseen aging trajectories.Comparative experiments on LiFePO_(4)and public LiCoO_(2)datasets confirm the framework’s cross-chemistry applicability.By extracting low-dimensional,physically interpretable features via subspace identification,the framework significantly reduces training cost while maintaining high SOH estimation accuracy,outperforming conventional data-driven models lacking physical guidance.

文摘Presented in this study is a novel method for estimating the depth of single underwater source in shallow water,utilizing vector sensors.The approach leverages the depth distribution of the broadband Stokes parameters to estimate source depth accurately.Unlike traditional matched field processing(MFP)and matched mode processing(MMP),the proposed approach can estimate source depth directly from the data received by sensors without requiring complete environmental information.Firstly,the broadband Stokes parameters(BSP)are established using the normal mode theory.Then the nonstationary phase approximation is used to simplify the theoretical derivation,which is necessary when dealing with broadband integrals.Additionally,range terms of the BSP are eliminated by normalization.By analyzing the depth distribution of the normalized broadband Stokes parameters(NBSP),it is found that the NBSP exhibit extreme values at the source depth,which can be used for source depth estimation.So the proposed depth estimation method is based on searching the peaks of the NBSP.Simulations show that this method is effective in relatively simple shallow water environments.Finally,the effect of source range,frequency bandwidth,sound speed profile(SSP),water depth,and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)are studied.The findings indicate that the proposed method can accurately estimate the source depth when the SNR is greater than-5 d B and does not need to consider model mismatch issues.Additionally,variations in environmental parameters have minimal impact on estimation accuracy.Compared to MFP,the proposed method requires a higher SNR,but demonstrates superior robustness against fluctuations in environmental parameters.

文摘Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)is a key material for marine applications owing to its outstanding self-lubrication and corrosion resistance.However,its long-term performance is compromised by plastic deformation in seawater.In this study,we performed a comparative analysis of the UHMWPE dynamics under seawater and water conditions to investigate the plastic deformation of UHMWPE induced by seawater.The results show that the plastic deformation of UHMWPE is amplified in seawater relative to the water conditions.Under thin fluid conditions,frictional interfaces exhibit a higher interfacial friction force and interaction energy in seawater than in water.Compared to freely diffused water molecules,hydrated ions occupy larger interchain spaces within polyethylene.Furthermore,the diffusion of hydrated ions weakens the interchain interactions,promoting more severe polyethylene chain rearrangement and accelerating seawater-induced plastic deformation in UHMWPE during friction.Furthermore,the diffused seawater accelerated the disentangling of the polyethylene chains and enhanced the orderly orientation distribution of polyethylene.Compared to free water molecules,the water molecules of hydrated ions exhibit enhanced attraction to free-flowing water molecules,thereby accelerating seawater flow across submerged UHMWPE surfaces.This flow enhancement promotes surface polyethylene chain mobility in seawater.

文摘In image analysis,high-precision semantic segmentation predominantly relies on supervised learning.Despite significant advancements driven by deep learning techniques,challenges such as class imbalance and dynamic performance evaluation persist.Traditional weighting methods,often based on pre-statistical class counting,tend to overemphasize certain classes while neglecting others,particularly rare sample categories.Approaches like focal loss and other rare-sample segmentation techniques introduce multiple hyperparameters that require manual tuning,leading to increased experimental costs due to their instability.This paper proposes a novel CAWASeg framework to address these limitations.Our approach leverages Grad-CAM technology to generate class activation maps,identifying key feature regions that the model focuses on during decision-making.We introduce a Comprehensive Segmentation Performance Score(CSPS)to dynamically evaluate model performance by converting these activation maps into pseudo mask and comparing them with Ground Truth.Additionally,we design two adaptive weights for each class:a Basic Weight(BW)and a Ratio Weight(RW),which the model adjusts during training based on real-time feedback.Extensive experiments on the COCO-Stuff,CityScapes,and ADE20k datasets demonstrate that our CAWASeg framework significantly improves segmentation performance for rare sample categories while enhancing overall segmentation accuracy.The proposed method offers a robust and efficient solution for addressing class imbalance in semantic segmentation tasks.
