Many biologically inspired models for spatial cognition focus mainly on the simulation of the hippocampus and only consider the effect of external environmental information(i.e., exogenous information) on the hippocampal coding. However, neurophysiological studies have shown that the striatum, which is closely related to the hippocampus, also plays an important role in spatial cognition and that information inside animals(i.e., endogenous information) also affects the encoding of the hippocampus. Inspired by the progress made in neurophysiological studies, we propose a new spatial cognitive model that consists of analogies between the hippocampus and striatum. This model takes into consideration how both exogenous and endogenous information affects coding by the environment. We carried out a series of navigation experiments that simulated a water maze and compared our model with other models. Our model is self-adaptable and robust and has better performance in navigation path length. We also discuss the possible reasons for the results and how our findings may help us understand real mechanisms in the spatial cognition of animals.展开更多

In the study area application of extracting alteration information in the Zhaoyuan （招远） gold mines, Shandong （山东） Province, China, several hydorthermally altered zones （included two new sites） were found after satellite imagery interpretation coupled with field surveys. It is concluded that these synthesis processing techniques are useful approaches and are applicable to a wide range of gold-mineralized alteration information extraction.展开更多

文摘Optical two-way time-frequency transfer(O-TWTFT),utilizing optical frequency comb carriers and linear optical sampling,effectively enables space-to-ground optical frequency standard comparisons.Previously reported detection sensitivities of O-TWTFTs were typically in the nanoWatt level,necessitating high-power optical frequency combs to compensate for significant losses in high-orbit satellite-to-ground passes.Such hardware-based solutions,while effective,tend to be costly.This paper presents a novel data post-processing algorithm to enhance sensitivity.Unlike previous timing methods,which depend solely on optical phase data and discard intensity information—resulting in elevated errors,especially under low-reception power,our approach employs complex least squares(CLS)estimation in the complex frequency domain.By preserving all intermediate data and avoiding noise from phase unwrapping,it achieves superior sensitivity and accuracy.Experiments over a 113-kilometer free-space link validate the algorithm's robustness,delivering a detection sensitivity of0.1 nanoWatts—over tenfold better than prior techniques—despite a 100-decibel link loss,comparable to Earth-Moon optical links.
文摘This study introduces the Orbit Weighting Scheme(OWS),a novel approach aimed at enhancing the precision and efficiency of Vector Space information retrieval(IR)models,which have traditionally relied on weighting schemes like tf-idf and BM25.These conventional methods often struggle with accurately capturing document relevance,leading to inefficiencies in both retrieval performance and index size management.OWS proposes a dynamic weighting mechanism that evaluates the significance of terms based on their orbital position within the vector space,emphasizing term relationships and distribution patterns overlooked by existing models.Our research focuses on evaluating OWS’s impact on model accuracy using Information Retrieval metrics like Recall,Precision,InterpolatedAverage Precision(IAP),andMeanAverage Precision(MAP).Additionally,we assessOWS’s effectiveness in reducing the inverted index size,crucial for model efficiency.We compare OWS-based retrieval models against others using different schemes,including tf-idf variations and BM25Delta.Results reveal OWS’s superiority,achieving a 54%Recall and 81%MAP,and a notable 38%reduction in the inverted index size.This highlights OWS’s potential in optimizing retrieval processes and underscores the need for further research in this underrepresented area to fully leverage OWS’s capabilities in information retrieval methodologies.

文摘Reproducing the spatial cognition of animals using computational models that make agents navigate autonomously has attracted much attention. Many biologically inspired models for spatial cognition focus mainly on the simulation of the hippocampus and only consider the effect of external environmental information(i.e., exogenous information) on the hippocampal coding. However, neurophysiological studies have shown that the striatum, which is closely related to the hippocampus, also plays an important role in spatial cognition and that information inside animals(i.e., endogenous information) also affects the encoding of the hippocampus. Inspired by the progress made in neurophysiological studies, we propose a new spatial cognitive model that consists of analogies between the hippocampus and striatum. This model takes into consideration how both exogenous and endogenous information affects coding by the environment. We carried out a series of navigation experiments that simulated a water maze and compared our model with other models. Our model is self-adaptable and robust and has better performance in navigation path length. We also discuss the possible reasons for the results and how our findings may help us understand real mechanisms in the spatial cognition of animals.

文摘Satellite remote sensing data are usually used to analyze the spatial distribution pattern of geological structures and generally serve as a significant means for the identification of alteration zones. Based on the Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper （ETM＋） data, which have better spectral resolution （8 bands） and spatial resolution （15 m in PAN band）, the synthesis processing techniques were presented to fulfill alteration information extraction： data preparation, vegetation indices and band ratios, and expert classifier-based classification. These techniques have been implemented in the MapGIS-RSP software （version 1.0）, developed by the Wuhan Zondy Cyber Technology Co., Ltd, China. In the study area application of extracting alteration information in the Zhaoyuan （招远） gold mines, Shandong （山东） Province, China, several hydorthermally altered zones （included two new sites） were found after satellite imagery interpretation coupled with field surveys. It is concluded that these synthesis processing techniques are useful approaches and are applicable to a wide range of gold-mineralized alteration information extraction.
文摘Kinship verification is a key biometric recognition task that determines biological relationships based on physical features.Traditional methods predominantly use facial recognition,leveraging established techniques and extensive datasets.However,recent research has highlighted ear recognition as a promising alternative,offering advantages in robustness against variations in facial expressions,aging,and occlusions.Despite its potential,a significant challenge in ear-based kinship verification is the lack of large-scale datasets necessary for training deep learning models effectively.To address this challenge,we introduce the EarKinshipVN dataset,a novel and extensive collection of ear images designed specifically for kinship verification.This dataset consists of 4876 high-resolution color images from 157 multiracial families across different regions,forming 73,220 kinship pairs.EarKinshipVN,a diverse and large-scale dataset,advances kinship verification research using ear features.Furthermore,we propose the Mixer Attention Inception(MAI)model,an improved architecture that enhances feature extraction and classification accuracy.The MAI model fuses Inceptionv4 and MLP Mixer,integrating four attention mechanisms to enhance spatial and channel-wise feature representation.Experimental results demonstrate that MAI significantly outperforms traditional backbone architectures.It achieves an accuracy of 98.71%,surpassing Vision Transformer models while reducing computational complexity by up to 95%in parameter usage.These findings suggest that ear-based kinship verification,combined with an optimized deep learning model and a comprehensive dataset,holds significant promise for biometric applications.

文摘A coal-loaded charge induction monitoring system is developed to effectively forecast the dynamic disasters caused by coal failure.Specifically,a digital finite impulse response(FIR)filter is designed to denoise and filter the signal,and the time-frequency domain evolution of induced charge signals is analyzed during coal failure experiments.The quantitative relationships between the induced electric charge and stress-strain energy,and ultimately,between induced electric charge and coal deformation/failure,are revealed.Ultimately,the electric charge sensor exhibits high signal collection frequency and high sensitivity,and the FIR low-pass filter constructed in MATLAB effectively denoises and filters induced charge signals.The main frequency range of the white noise is 50-500 Hz,and the main frequency of the charge signal induced by coal deformation and failure is concentrated in the range of 0-50 Hz.The optimal distances for monitoring cubic and cylindrical raw coal samples using this sensor are 9 mm and 11 mm,respectively.Notably,strain energy is released faster when it can dissipate more readily,and induced charge pulses become denser when more intense signals produce large fluctuations.A method is proposed to identify coal deformation and failure based on changes in the induced electric charge.This study provides a new means of monitoring the early warning signs of dynamic coal mine disasters.Based on our experimental results and conclusions,a new method is proposed to identify coal deformation and failure based on changes in the induced electric charge.The precursor to the moment of coal failure can be identified by monitoring the amplitude of the induced charge,the dynamic trend of fluctuation,and the cumulative number of induced electric charge pulses during the process of coal deformation.

文摘The complex pathophysiology and diverse manifestations of esophageal disorders pose challenges in clinical practice,particularly in achieving accurate early diagnosis and risk stratification.While traditional approaches rely heavily on subjective interpretations and variable expertise,machine learning(ML)has emerged as a transformative tool in healthcare.We conducted a comprehensive review of published literature on ML applications in esophageal diseases,analyzing technical approaches,validation methods,and clinical outcomes.ML demonstrates superior performance:In gastroesophageal reflux disease,ML models achieve 80%-90%accuracy in potential of hydrogen-impedance analysis and endoscopic grading;for Barrett’s esophagus,ML-based approaches show 88%-95% accuracy in invasive diagnostics and 77%-85% accuracy in non-invasive screening.In esophageal cancer,ML improves early detection and survival prediction by 6%-10% compared to traditional methods.Novel applications in achalasia and esophageal varices demonstrate promising results in automated diagnosis and risk stratification,with accuracy rates exceeding 85%.While challenges persist in data standardization,model interpretability,and clinical integration,emerging solutions in federated learning and explainable artificial intelligence offer promising pathways forward.The continued evolution of these technologies,coupled with rigorous validation and thoughtful implementation,may fundamentally transform our approach to esophageal disease management in the era of precision medicine.

文摘In order to meet the requirements of accurate identification of surface defects on copper strip in industrial production,a detection model of surface defects based on machine vision,CSC-YOLO,is proposed.The model uses YOLOv4-tiny as the benchmark network.First,K-means clustering is introduced into the benchmark network to obtain anchor frames that match the self-built dataset.Second,a cross-region fusion module is introduced in the backbone network to solve the difficult target recognition problem by fusing contextual semantic information.Third,the spatial pyramid pooling-efficient channel attention network(SPP-E)module is introduced in the path aggregation network(PANet)to enhance the extraction of features.Fourth,to prevent the loss of channel information,a lightweight attention mechanism is introduced to improve the performance of the network.Finally,the performance of the model is improved by adding adjustment factors to correct the loss function for the dimensional characteristics of the surface defects.CSC-YOLO was tested on the self-built dataset of surface defects in copper strip,and the experimental results showed that the mAP of the model can reach 93.58%,which is a 3.37% improvement compared with the benchmark network,and FPS,although decreasing compared with the benchmark network,reached 104.CSC-YOLO takes into account the real-time requirements of copper strip production.The comparison experiments with Faster RCNN,SSD300,YOLOv3,YOLOv4,Resnet50-YOLOv4,YOLOv5s,YOLOv7,and other algorithms show that the algorithm obtains a faster computation speed while maintaining a higher detection accuracy.
文摘Non-technical losses(NTL)of electric power are a serious problem for electric distribution companies.The solution determines the cost,stability,reliability,and quality of the supplied electricity.The widespread use of advanced metering infrastructure(AMI)and Smart Grid allows all participants in the distribution grid to store and track electricity consumption.During the research,a machine learning model is developed that allows analyzing and predicting the probability of NTL for each consumer of the distribution grid based on daily electricity consumption readings.This model is an ensemble meta-algorithm(stacking)that generalizes the algorithms of random forest,LightGBM,and a homogeneous ensemble of artificial neural networks.The best accuracy of the proposed meta-algorithm in comparison to basic classifiers is experimentally confirmed on the test sample.Such a model,due to good accuracy indicators(ROC-AUC-0.88),can be used as a methodological basis for a decision support system,the purpose of which is to form a sample of suspected NTL sources.The use of such a sample will allow the top management of electric distribution companies to increase the efficiency of raids by performers,making them targeted and accurate,which should contribute to the fight against NTL and the sustainable development of the electric power industry.

文摘Fluxgate current sensors(FGCSs)are increasingly employed in power systems due to their high-precision characteristics,yet their measurement flexibility remains constrained by conventional closed-core designs.To address this limitation,we proposed a split-core sensor structure comprising four magnetic core strips,which achieved non-intrusive current measurement while maintaining detection accuracy.An analytical model of the induced electromotive force was established based on the probe’s geometric configuration,followed by finite element simulations to optimize key parameters including core radius,core width,excitation coil turns,and sensing coil configuration.A complete prototype integrating the measurement probe,excitation circuit,and signal processing circuitry was developed and experimentally validated.The experimental results show a sensitivity of 0.1099 V/A,a hysteresis error of 0.559%,and a repeatability error of 1.574%over a measurement range of±10 A.After polynomial fitting-based error compensation,the nonlinearity error was reduced to 0.208%,achieving performance comparable to closed-core sensors.This work provided a practical solution for applications demanding both high measurement accuracy and installation flexibility.

文摘Sensitivity encoding(SENSE)is a parallel magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)reconstruction model by utilizing the sensitivity information of receiver coils to achieve image reconstruction.The existing SENSE-based reconstruction algorithms usually used nonadaptive sparsifying transforms,resulting in a limited reconstruction accuracy.Therefore,we proposed a new model for accurate parallel MRI reconstruction by combining the L0 norm regularization term based on the efficient sum of outer products dictionary learning(SOUPDIL)with the SENSE model,called SOUPDIL-SENSE.The SOUPDIL-SENSE model is mainly solved by utilizing the variable splitting and alternating direction method of multipliers techniques.The experimental results on four human datasets show that the proposed algorithm effectively promotes the image sparsity,eliminates the noise and artifacts of the reconstructed images,and improves the reconstruction accuracy.
