    In recent years, various semi-supervised self-training methods have made significant progress in solving image classification problems and have attracted widespread attention. However, even the state-of-the-art methods like FixMatch can suffer from training instability and extreme performance imbalance between classes due to the accumulation of pseudo-labeling errors. To address this issue, this paper introduces the concept of robust gamma divergence on top of the FixMatch method and proposes a semi-supervised self-training approach based on robust gamma divergence. In this method, we incorporate gamma divergence as a regularization term to the loss function of the training model to correct the mislabeled instances caused by error accumulation. Additionally, we conduct comparative experiments on artificially polluted simulated datasets and the CIFAR-10 dataset to demonstrate the superiority of the GammaFixMatch method in handling the problem of pseudo-label error accumulation.

    Bayesian inference often faces challenges where the likelihood function is difficult to evaluate or lacks explicit expression, known as likelihood-free Bayesian problems, where posterior distributions can only be inferred indirectly through samples generated under specific parameters. Existing methods such as approximate Bayesian computation, synthetic likelihood, and Bayesian optimization focus on addressing these issues. This paper extends Miller et al.’s (2022) sequential neural ratio estimation method for likelihood-free Bayesian problems by transforming likelihood-to-evidence ratio estimation into a multi-class problem for efficient posterior estimation. We introduce a new calibration kernel-based ratio estimation method (CKRE), to enhance the original method’s training efficiency and performance. The convergence of our proposed method is proven, and numerical experiments demonstrate its significant improvement in accurately estimating posterior distributions under limited sample generation conditions.

    Consumer credit products have prevailed for a long time, allowing customers to spend first and pay later, stimulating customers to purchase products. Banks, financial service companies, and e-commerce platforms have all strategically laid out in this industry and provided corresponding online consumer credit services. To further stimulate consumption, companies will offer interest-free consumer credit services. We consider a firm that sells multiple substitutable products and provides interest-free consumer credit services and bears the service costs. We develop an MNL model and incorporate consumer responses to consumer credit services into the model, the firm’s objective is to make the optimal decisions of grace period for each product to maximize the total profit under linear and nonlinear credit service cost structures, respectively. The findings indicate that we can essentially transform the multiple products optimization problem into a single-variable root searching problem, which reduces the calculation complexity. The optimal grace period does not necessarily shrink with the increase of credit service cost and vice versa. Numerical analysis reveals that products with larger profit margins have longer optimal grace periods. We also compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two different credit options, namely, the uniform optimal grace periods for all products (Option 1) and the exclusive optimal grace period for each product (Option 2). We find that the firm’s total profit from implementing Option 2 is always larger than that from implementing Option 1, especially when the firm’s ability to utilize the sales revenue is not strong, the profit improvement under Option 2 scheme is more significant.

    The selection of divertor materials has always been one of the hot issues in the field of nuclear fusion. The experimental results in recent years show that using liquid lithium as plasma facing materials in divertor can not only effectively solve the problems faced by traditional solid materials, but also significantly improve the confinement property of plasma. However, the wettability of liquid lithium on the surface of most solid materials is not ideal. In view of this, the first-principles method was used to simulate and calculate the occupation and diffusion characteristics of lithium atoms on the surface of stainless steel, and the effects of nickel, tungsten, chromium and manganese were analyzed. The results show that the four alloying elements can significantly change the adsorption energy of lithium atoms on the (100) crystal plane. Around nickel and tungsten, the adsorption energy of lithium atom first increases and then decreases with the increase of distance, showing the effect of first attraction and then repulsion. However, around chromium and manganese, the adsorption energy decreases monotonously with the increase of distance, and it has a repulsive effect in the whole process. For nickel and tungsten, lithium atoms tend to diffuse in the direction close to alloy elements within a certain range, and move outward more easily beyond this range. For chromium and manganese, lithium atoms are always more likely to diffuse outward. The results of this paper are helpful to better understand the wetting and spreading characteristics of liquid lithium on the surface of stainless steel at the micro scale.

    Liquid lithium (Li) has a wide range of applications in nuclear fusion test devices, but the slip characteristics of liquid Li on the surface of solid materials have not been fully studied. In this paper, the Couette flow of liquid Li in α-iron (Fe) nanochannels was simulated by the molecular dynamics method, and the effect of triangular roughness units on the slip characteristics of liquid Li on the α-Fe (100) surface was analyzed. The results show that the influence of the angle on both sides of the triangle on the slip length is not significant, but there is a critical angle, when the angle on both sides of the triangle exceeds the critical value, the liquid Li will form a microscale vortex on the front side of the triangle, which significantly increases the flow resistance, and then causes a sudden and large decrease in the slip length, the critical angle and the height show a downward trend. The height of the triangles has a more pronounced impact on slip length, and a similar critical height exists. Vortices only form when the height exceeds this critical value, regardless of changes to the angles. Temperature has a certain influence on these parameters. As temperature rises, both the critical angle and critical height decrease.

    Inspired by the natural bifurcation structure such as leaf veins, this paper uses numerical simulation to study the convective heat transfer of the basic unit of the bifurcated microchannel heat sink. On the basis of fixing the parameters of the first-stage-channel, changing the width of the second-stage-channel of the bifurcated structure, and analyzing the temperature field and flow field in the channel in detail, the pressure drop, convective heat transfer coefficient and comprehensive heat transfer evaluation coefficient from the inlet to the second-stage were obtained. The results show that the bifurcation structure can enhance the fluid disturbance, interrupt and form a new fluid boundary layer, strengthen the heat transfer and make the temperature distribution more uniform. Within 1 mm of the inlet of the second-stage-channel diameter, the inlet effect of internal flow is more influential, and the comprehensive heat transfer evaluation coefficient reaches its maximum when the ratio of hydraulic diameter after bifurcation to that before bifurcation is 0.54. When the ratio of hydraulic diameter bifurcation is 0.80, the comprehensive heat transfer evaluation coefficient reaches its maximum outside the second-stage-channel above 1 mm. The research can be used as a reference and guidance for the optimal design of bifurcated microchannel heat sinks.

    Based on density functional theory, the geometric optimization of thioglycolic acid molecules was performed at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level, and the first 20 excited states of the molecules were calculated at the CAM-B3LYP/TZVP theoretical level. Firstly, the ground state information of the molecules was calculated and obtained. The results showed that when the center wavenumber of infrared spectrum number was less than 1 856 cm-1, the main vibrational mode of the molecules was bending vibration; when the center wavenumber of infrared spectrum number was greater than 1 856 cm-1, the main vibrational mode of the molecules was stretching vibration. Secondly, the first 20 excited states of the molecules were calculated, and four electronic state transitions with high transition probabilities (oscillator strength 0.05) were selected, and ultraviolet-visible spectra were plotted. Finally, the excitation types of these four transitions are determined by orbital pair transitions. the excitation type of S0→S13 was charge transfer excitation; the excitation types of S0→S10 and S0→S11 were charge transfer excitation; the excitation type of S0→S20 was localized excitation. Studying thioglycolic acid, which is harmful to humans, can provide theoretical support for experimental research and provide a theoretical basis for subsequent research on its degradation.

    Taking Haidai region as the study area, this paper analyzes the elevation, slope, slope direction, river system, and other geographical factors of 9 448 residential settlement sites in Pre-Qin Period (600-2.1 ka BP), and explores the relationship between the spatial-temporal distribution of the sites and geographical environment, by collecting the residential settlement sites of Pre-Qin Period extensively and establishing a database of the region, combining with SRTM DEM data, and using ArcGIS 10.7. Results show that: 1) The development of human settlements in the Haidai Region during the Pre-Qin Period went through a historical process of elevation from high to low, terrain from mountainous to flat, spatial distribution from small to large, then decreasing and continuing to increase. 2) The spatial distribution characteristics of archaeological sites in different periods are basically consistent. Archaeological sites mainly distributed in the elevation range of 0-150 m above sea level, with the range of 0-50 m being the most concentrated and inclined towards undulating slopes of 2°-15°. The range from flat land to slopes within 15° is the most concentrated, and archaeological sites are concentrated in the slope direction range of flat land (-1°) and southeast to southwest (112.5°-247.5°). 3)The daily human activity radius of Haidai Region in Pre-Qin Period is about 3-4 km, and the residential settlement sites are closely connected with the river. Overall, the geographical environment has a close influence on the distribution and changes of site locations across different periods, also reflecting that the spatial cognition and utilization of the geographical environment by the predecessors in the Haidai Region during the Pre-Qin Period were already at a relatively high level.

    Fire poses the greatest threat to the cultural heritage of timber buildings. The fire risk assessment of ancient buildings in the Palace Museum, the world’s largest remaining ancient palace complex, aids in the management, protection, and fire prevention efforts of the heritage site. This study constructed a dataset of fire risk factors, taking into account the hazard of causal factors, the sensitivity of disaster-bearing bodies, and loss control lability, reflecting the temporal and spatial characteristics of the Palace Museum’s ancient buildings. Utilizing the entropy-weighted TOPSIS algorithm, a fire risk index calculation model was developed to determine the relative fire risk among ancient buildings. This assessment was performed using the monthly spatio-temporal factor data of the Palace Museum from 2014 to 2019. The findings reveal that the comprehensive fire risk index of the Palace Museum ranges from 0.23 to 0.58, with the central axis area exhibiting the highest fire risk, especially in July and August. Hazard and sensitivity indices are higher in the central axis, northwestern, and northeastern zones, whereas the control index is higher in the central and southern parts of the central axis area as well as in the northwestern and northeastern zones. These areas are thus more susceptible to fire hazards, more impacted by fire disturbances, and possess a stronger response and coping capacity post-disturbance. In conjunction with GIS, the comprehensive time-series fire risk map of individual ancient buildings in the Palace Museum offers valuable insights for relevant departments to develop fire management plans and allocate resources for ancient buildings.

    As socioeconomic development progresses, the interaction between climatic hazards and socioeconomic conditions amplifies substantial economic losses at varying scales. This study focuses on the characteristics and economic impacts of compound drought-heatwave events in China from 1984 to 2021. Using a standardized methodology, we developed a drought intensity-loss ratio model to isolate the influence of socioeconomic development on drought-related economic losses, providing a scientific basis for loss estimation and regional disaster prevention strategies. The results indicate that 1984 to 1990 was a period of high drought frequency, with the primary drought centers located in Southwest China, the central Huang-Huai region, and the upper Yangtze River, where economic losses were particularly significant. While raw economic losses increased over time, losses adjusted for population and economic growth showed a declining trend, closely aligning with the spatiotemporal distribution of droughts. Population growth and economic development are identified as the main drivers of the significant increase in China’s drought-related economic losses. The standardization approach effectively reveals the actual impacts of drought events. Based on these findings, this study constructed a drought intensity-loss ratio model to better characterize the relationship between natural drought variability and economic losses, offering a robust framework for accurately assessing drought impacts and supporting disaster mitigation strategies.

    Sustainable development science satellite-1 (SDGSAT-1) is the first earth science satellite of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It was successfully launched on November 5, 2021, aiming to achieve the global sustainable development goals and provide data for the study of interaction between humans and nature. Due to the poor penetration of visible light through cloud, many optical satellite remote sensing images are inevitably disturbed by cloud. Therefore, cloud mask production is an important processing step in optical remote sensing processing system. However, SDGSAT-1 multispectral images lack the short-wave infrared band required by the traditional cloud mask production algorithm, so the traditional cloud mask production algorithm is difficult to apply. Therefore, this paper proposes a cloud mask production method for SDGSAT-1 multispectral images based on fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm. The method selects the four spectral features of brightness, NDWI, NDVI, and HOT as input features. On this basis, the Mahalanobis distance is introduced, the results of K-means algorithm are used as the initial clustering center, and finally FCM algorithm is executed to obtain the final cloud mask. In the paper, the published SDGSAT-1 multispectral images are used to verify the performance of the proposed method and to compare it with other methods. The experimental results show that the average accuracy of the proposed method is 95.33%, which is higher than those of other methods.

    As a green ecological barrier in northern China, changes in the ecological environment of Hulunbuir steppe have a profound impact on both the regional ecological balance and, to some extent, the broader ecological equilibrium of the entire country. Based on the long-term MOD13Q1 vegetation index dataset and meteorological data, this study developed a dynamically adaptable vegetation cover index, gsNDVI, which is sensitive to the active vegetation season. The vegetation change trend and future development of the Hulunbuir typical steppe from 2000 to 2022 were analyzed using the Theil-Sen regression, the Mann-Kendall method, and the Hurst exponent. Additionally, partial correlation analysis was employed to investigate the impact of climate factors on vegetation change. The results show that the multi-year average gsNDVI value for the study area is 0.39, with a spatial distribution characterized by higher values in the northeast and lower values in the southwest. Overall, the mean gsNDVI value exhibits a slow growth trend, though periodic fluctuations are observed. Vegetation coverage has increased in most areas, though noticeable degradation is evident in urban areas. The partial correlation analysis results indicate that precipitation is the primary factor influencing vegetation cover change in the study area, with grasslands being the most sensitive to changes in precipitation. Furthermore, based on the combined results of trend analysis and the Hurst exponent, the vegetation trend in certain areas of Hulunbuir is expected to reverse in the future, which may pose significant challenges to ecological and environmental protection in the region.

    FLShadow:Byzantine-robust federated aggregation based on a trusted shadow model

    Abstract ( 638 ) HTML ( 3 ) PDF (0KB) ( 0 )

    In federated learning, Byzantine nodes can carefully manipulate the model updates of clients. As a result, the central model accuracy decreases or fails to converge after aggregation. The number of communication rounds also increases. Without trusted reference gradients, the central model can not be properly aggregated solely from updates provided by untrustworthy clients. In this paper, we introduce a trusted reference and we regard it as a shadow model. To overcome this challenge, we propose a novel Byzantine robust federated aggregation method. The central server collects the shadow dataset in advance and trains a model called the shadow model. The central server compares the update direction between the client model and the trusted shadow model. Accordingly, the central server computes malicious score and marks the malicious clients. Then, the central model deletes or prunes the updates from the malicious clients. Finally, the central model aggregates the corrected gradients to ensure good convergence and maintain accuracy. The proposed method has been evaluated on a variety of model architectures and real datasets. The results show that the proposed method can effectively defend against six different Byzantine node attacks on three datasets.

    Multimodal models show great potential in tasks such as generating language, video, and musical scores. However, they still face problems such as emotional consistency and professional guidance for background music generation tasks oriented toward rich melodic elements. In this paper, we propose multidimensional interaction guidance and temporal scaling encoding to generate music vector representations with multidimensional interaction properties by embedding emotion labels, rhythmic density, and rhythmic intensity into music expression compound words. We design the background music transformer (BMT), a model for generating film and television soundtracks with rhythmic and harmonic correspondence between video and music, and provide a corresponding unpaired data-driven network training method for the model. We propose a “creator-audience” dual-view evaluation strategy to evaluate the interactivity and soundtrack effect of the model in a more comprehensive way. The experimental results show that the BMT model improves the objective evaluation index by 20.6%, and the model inference efficiency increases from 0.125 to 14.370, and also has obvious advantages in subjective evaluation index.

    Shape-dependent effects of nanoceria on the activity of Pd/CeO2 catalysts for CO oxidation
    WANG Lei, MAO Junyi, YUAN Qing, HUANG Tao
       2015, 32 (5): 594-604.   DOI: 10.7523/j.issn.2095-6134.2015.05.004

    The redox property of palladium nanoparticles (NPs) is pivotal to CeO2 supported Pd catalysts in oxidation reactions and is closely related to the structure of Pd-CeO2 interface. Herein, we report that low-temperature CO oxidation activity of Pd/CeO2 highly depends on the shape and crystal plane of CeO2 supports. Pd/CeO2 catalysts with CeO2 nanoocthedrons (NOCs) and nanocubes (NCs) as supports were prepared by colloidal-deposition method. Results show that Pd/CeO2 NOCs with ceria {111} facets enclosed exhibited much higher catalytic activity than Pd/CeO2NCs with ceria {100} facets exposed. DFT calculations revealed that the redox property of surface Pd species may play important roles in determining the reducibility and activity of catalysts. The PdOx to Pd cycle is more facile on Pd4@CeO2(111) than on Pd4@CeO2(100), which is dictated by the Pd-ceria interaction in the end. Our results show that the redox property of surface Pd is pivotal to the reducibility and activity of Pd/ceria catalysts, which could be tuned by manipulation of the Pd-CeO2 interaction via tuning the exposed facets of ceria support.

    GH3 genes belong to a primary auxin-response gene family. The 10 promoter sequences of Arabidopsis GH3 genes were analyzed using bioinformatics method. The results show that the transcription start site of these genes is generally 65~145bp away from the start codon, and the TATA boxes are located in the (-24)-(-40)bp. MDB and MatInspector analyses show that most upstream regions of these GH3 genes contain the cis-elements required for tissue and organ-specific expression responding to phytohormones and external environment, indicating that the expressions of GH3 genes are strictly controlled by multi-factors. Gene chip data show that AuxREs is very important for GH3 genes in response to IAA treatment,but it is not the unique cis-element for auxin response.

    The micron-grade PMMA microspheres with narrow size distribution were prepared by dispersion polymerization. The mechanism of the dispersion polymerization was discussed. The factors influencing both the size and size distribution of the microspheres including initial concentrations of the initiator, monomer, stabilizer, the polarity of the medium and the reaction conditions were studied. The results indicated that the size and size distribution of microspheres both increased with initial concentrations of initiator and monomer. Increasing the amount of the stabilizer resulted in decreasing size and narrowing size distribution of microspheres. Other factors such as the polarity of medium and the reaction temperature had great influences too. By controlling these factors, the desired-size monodisperse microspheres could be obtained.

    Textual document clustering is one of the effective approaches to establish a classification instance of huge textual document set. Clustering Validation or Quality Evaluation techniques can be used to assess the efficiency and effective of a clustering algorithm. This paper presents the quality evaluation criterions from outer and inner. Based on these criterions we take three typical textual document clustering algorithms for assessment with experiments. The comparison results show that STC(Suffix Tree Clustering) algorithm is better than k-Means and Ant-Based clustering algorithms. The better performance of STC algorithm comes from that it takes accounts the linguistic property when processing the documents. Ant-Based clustering algorithm’s performance variation is affected by the input variables. It is necessary to adopt linguistic properties to improve the Ant-Based text clustering’s performance.

    Responsive to dehydration (RD) is a class of genes that regulates dehydration in plants. They are functionally tolerant to plant dehydration, some of which are responsive to abiotic stresses such as low temperature and high salinity. However, they belong to different families, respectively, and have discrepancy in the structure and function. In this paper, the structural composition, conserved motif, regulatory mechanism, and the function in response to biotic and abiotic stress were summarized in different RDs, as well as the different cis-acting elements in the promoter region played a role in response to abiotic stress so as to provide relevant basis for future researches on RD.

    Gram-Schmidt algorithm is one of the fundamental methods in linear algebra, which is mainly used to compute QR decomposition. The classical and modified Gram-Schmidt are both based on level 1 or level 2 BLAS operations which have low cache reuse. In this paper, a new block Gram-Schmidt algorithm is proposed. The new algorithm ensures the orthogonality of resulting matrix Q is close to machine precision and improves performance because of using level 3 BLAS. Numerical experiments confirm the favorable numerical stability of the new algorithm and its effectiveness on modern computers.

    DBSCAN is a classic density-based clustering algorithm. It can automatically determine the number of clusters and treat clusters of arbitrary shapes. In the clustering process of DBSCAN, two parameters, Eps and minPts,have to be specified by uses. In this paper an adaptive algorithm named SA-DBSCAN was introduced to determine the two parameters automatically via analysis of the statistical characteristics of the dataset, which enabled clustering process of DBSCAN fully automated. Experimental results indicate that SA-DBSCAN can select appropriate parameters and gain a rather high validity of clustering.

    Uranium dioxide is a kind of steady nuclear fuel that has the characteristic of high melting point and steady property. The thermal conductivity of uranium dioxide can directly influence the temperature distribution of nuclear fuel and the max temperature of the center of nuclear fuel. The experimental results and expression of thermal conductivity have been compared in the paper. The deviation between the experiment results has decreased. The non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation results are in good agreement with the experiment results in medium temperature region. In low temperature region, it is necessary to add the quantum correction to the kinetic energy computation of phonon. In high temperature region, it is needed to use the accurate potential model and build up the electron gas energy transport model and photon radiation energy transport to study the thermal conductivity well and truly for the nuclear reactor safety design and uranium dioxide engineering application.

    DFT mechanistic insight into the modular strategy involved in the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of cyclopentenones from α,β-unsaturated acid chlorides and alkynes

    Cyclopentenones are important synthetic building blocks and as motifs appear in bioactive molecules and natural products. We applied density functional theory (DFT) calculations to gain insight into the modular strategy involved in the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of cyclopentenone from α,β-unsaturated acid chlorides and alkynes in the presence of hydrosilane. The study unveils that the transformation proceeds via the sequence:the disassembly of α,β-unsaturated acid chloride into vinyl, carbonyl, and Cl fragments with the palladium catalyst; carbon monoxide release; coupling of alkyne with vinyl group; carbon monoxide re-coordination and migratory insertion to form another C-C bond with alkyne, ring-closure via C=C bond insertion, transmetalation with hydrosilane, C, H-reductive elimination to release the product. Different from the mechanism proposed by the experimentalists, the CO group is involved in the reaction via separate liberation and re-coordination in the solvent cage, rather than persistent coordination with palladium. The transmetalation for H/Cl exchange takes place at the late stage and is a bottleneck of the transformation, instead of at early disassembly stage.

    Activated alumina (AA) is widely used for defluoridation. Batch experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of Cl- (1000 mg·L-1) and HCO3- (2000 mg·L-1) on adsorption kinetics of F- (10 mg·L-1) on AA in coalbed methane co-produced water (CBMW). The results show that in the presence of Cl- the adsorption rate and the equilibrium absorption capacity increase, but in the presence of HCO3- both the quantities decrease. These effects should be considered when one treats CBMW.

    Calmodulin, the predominant calcium receptor, is one of the best-characterized calcium sensors in eukaryotes which regulates diverse cellular functions by modulating the activity of a variety of enzymes and proteins. Research workers have evidences suggesting Ca2+ and calmodulin are involved in various environment stimulation reaction. By differential screen, we isolated a positive clone in the T.caerulescens cDNA library induced in response to Cd2+. The result of cDNA sequence analysis showed that the positive clone shared more than 92 % homologies for nucleotide sequences with CaM2 gene from Arabidopsis thanliana, named TcCaM2. The TcCaM2 gene consists of 447 nucleotides and encodes 149 amino acids, and it shares more than 83 % homologies for nucleotide sequences and 95 % for encoding amino acid sequences as compared with those of calmodulin genes of other plants. A yeast-expressed plasmid with TcCaM2 was constructed and transferred into heavy metal sensitive yeast mutant cells. Further study about the growth patterns of TcCaM2 -expressed yeast indicated that over expression of TcCaM2 improved Co2+、Ni2+ resistance and increased Cd2+ hypersensitivity in the yeast cells. As an important role in the T.caerulescens’s response to heavy metal, TcCaM2 can work as a significant gene tool in the phytoremediation of heavy metal pollution.

    Convection heat transfer of cold water in a non-isothermal Taylor-Couette system

    This paper conducts a direct numerical simulation of the convective heat transfer of cold water in a Taylor-Couette system with a high-temperature and rotating inner cylinder, aiming to elucidate the flow features and heat transfer characteristics under different density inversion parameters. For this purpose, multiple density inversion parameters were selected to study the evolution of flow states from natural convection to turbulence. By examining the hydrodynamic and thermal behaviors of cold water across various parameter variations, this paper reveals the diversity of flow regimes and the tight association between heat transfer characteristics and flow features. With the increase in Reynolds number, the flow undergoes two transitions. The initial transition is from a buoyancy-dominated regime to a spiral vortex flow. Pronounced density inversion effects intensify the axial flow’s suppression of radial heat transfer, manifesting a minimal value of heat transfer near Θm=0.5. The subsequent transition occurs within the rotation-dominated regime, where the flow progresses from wavy vortex flow to wavy turbulent vortex, accompanied by the emergence of Görtler vortices and an increase in smaller-scale structures at elevated Reynolds numbers, thus enhancing heat transfer capability. The mechanisms behind flow regime transitions are explored from the perspective of the combined effects of density inversion, centrifugal force, and buoyancy. The results suggest that a marked density inversion effect weakens the buoyancy effect and strengthens the sensitivity to the centrifugal force, leading to an earlier onset of centrifugal-dominated flow at a lower Reynolds number.

    We use pairwise fusion penalty regularization method, based on Tobit regression model, to perform subgroup analysis on left-censored data with heterogeneity, simultaneously estimating regression parameters and identifying subgroups. By introducing a set of new parameters, the original optimization problem is transformed into a multivariate optimization problem with equality constraints only that can be solved by alternating direction method of multipliers. Moreover, the multivariate function related to the loss in each iteration is transformed into a group of quadratic surrogate functions of single variable by generalized coordinate descent algorithm. We prove that the proposed algorithm is convergent, and establish the large sample properties of the obtained parameter estimators. Simulation studies and real data analysis show that the proposed method has good performance.

    Super-resolution technology has become an important tool for reconstructing high-resolution datasets and supplementing the shortage of high-resolution images with its characteristics of flexibility and low cost. Compared with natural images, remote sensing images of real scenes are complex and specific, which make super-resolution tasks more difficult. Meanwhile, for remote sensing images, traditional deep learning models can improve the resolution, but there is still a great deficiency of improvement for the details and textures of the ground objects. Therefore, based on the generative adversarial network model, this paper fuses channel-space attention to enhance the feature learning capability of the network and use an artifact suppression strategy to distinguish smooth regions from detail-rich regions, so that the network can focus more on detail-rich regions and suppress the generation of artifacts. Extensive experiments on GaoFen satellite data show that the quantitative metrics and visual quality of the method proposed in this paper are better than those of the current mainstream methods.

    Vapor compression refrigeration can operate electronic devices at lower temperatures even under harsh conditions, but it faces critical challenges in miniaturization and oil-free operation. This paper presents a detailed analysis and optimization of the excitation coils of the linear compressor using finite element analysis. The optimization allows the coil to be more compactly integrated with the outer stator core, further reducing the compressor's volume. A bobbinless coil was developed to increase the slot fill factor, resulting in a more compact structure. Simulation comparisons demonstrate effective enhancements in motor output capacity and efficiency. A prototype was constructed, featuring a linear motor with an outer diameter of 61 mm and a length of 36 mm. The measured electromagnetic force coefficient is 20.73 N·A-1, which is very close to the simulation result of 21.34 N·A-1. Voltage regulation experiments were also conducted under oil-free conditions, confirming that the device can maintain its performance while achieving miniaturization and oil-free operation.

    Taking Northeast China as an example, utilizing methods such as agglomeration of newborn enterprise, kernel density estimation, and negative binomial regression model, this study analyzes the evolutionary characteristics and influencing factors of the spatial layout of wood processing enterprises under the background of the implementation of a typical ecologically-oriented environmental regulation policy — Natural Forest Protection Project (NFPP). The results show that: 1) Under the context of natural forest conservation, wood processing enterprises have agglomerated in the densely populated urban belts of the central inland regions. There is a distinct tendency for them to cluster near provincial capital cities and their surrounding areas. In Harbin-Dalian urban agglomerations and areas along the Qiqihar-Harbin-Suifenhe railroad, new wood-processing enterprises are distributed in a particularly pronounced manner. 2) Diverse sub-industries of new wood processing enterprises exhibit varying spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors. In comparison, industries such as sawn timber and engineered wood products, which are relatively lower-end in the wood processing sector, are more sensitive to changes in traditional economic geographic factors. As a result, their spatial layouts undergo more pronounced changes. 3)The influencing factors of new wood processing enterprise distribution are significantly different at various stages. With the implementation of NFPP, the dependence of the spatial layout of new wood processing enterprises on soft environments has increased, such as knowledge spillover, environmental regulation intensity, and marketization. The rigid constraints of traditional economic geographical factors have weakened, such as resource endowment and location conditions.

    The palm-leaf manuscript is a treasure of human civilization, which is the scripture written or engraved on the processed leaves of palm trees. Originating in ancient India, it was gradually introduced into China in the historical period, and reached a period of great prosperity in the Tang Dynasty. Chinese ancestors had a clear understanding of the materials used to make the palm-leaf manuscript. According to our study, the “Doro” (多罗) tree in ancient books should be talipotCorypha umbraculifera), while the “Beiduo” (贝多) tree should be palmyraBorassus flabellifer). The word “Beiduo”, which appeared many times in Chinese classical poetry, has become a synonym of Buddhist classics. Material evidence of ancient palm-leaf manuscript has been unearthed in many places in Xinjiang, among which Powell’s manuscript as well as Spitzer’s manuscript unearthed in Kuqa were of great significance, with the latter being considered to be the earliest physical evidence of palm-leaf manuscript all over the world. In addition, ancient palm-leaf manuscripts were also unearthed in the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, which was also of great importance. To date, palm-leaf manuscripts are mainly preserved in Xizang, as well as Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province, where they have been well organized and protected.​ The characters on the palm-leaf manuscripts were carved and written, respectively, which should be adapted to their preservation conditions.

    In addressing the issue of inadequate precision in surface deformation estimation using the PSInSAR technique with small datasets, this study proposes a dual-weighted low-rank tensor decomposition algorithm for denoising the observed data of temporal interferometric phases. This algorithm enhances the applicability of tensor decomposition in the context of small dataset PSInSAR technology, particularly in larger urban areas. This article utilizes a dataset comprising 29 TerraSAR images from the Tianjin region and extracts a subset of 6 to 11 images as a small dataset for validating the proposed algorithm. The combined approach of dual-weighted tensor decomposition and PSInSAR is employed for ground subsidence estimation. Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in the quality of surface deformation estimation using the proposed algorithm for small dataset PSInSAR technology. In the region exhibiting detailed deformation under the condition of 11 images, the error in deformation rate estimation is reduced by approximately 82% compared to the results obtained using the original low-rank tensor decomposition algorithm with the same number of SAR images.

This review systematically synthesizes the theoretical advances in alternative stable state (ASS) of ecosystem multi-stability, focusing on three key dimensions: micro-macro process coupling, mechanisms of threshold response, and the role of regulatory nodes in ecosystem resilience. By integrating methodologies such as ASS theory, potential landscape modeling, and bifurcation analysis, we highlight how climate change and anthropogenic activities are driving critical ecosystems (e.g., coral reefs, Amazon rainforest, Arctic permafrost) toward tipping points, while hysteresis effects and irreversible potentials exacerbate recovery challenges. Emerging approaches combining network theory and energy (carbon) flux analysis offer novel insights for cross-scale early warning, yet bridging micro-scale mechanisms with macro-scale patterns remains a critical challenge. This review provides a theoretical framework for ecological threshold management and underscores the urgent need for interdisciplinary approaches to address planetary-scale regime shift risks.

    The coordinated development of regional economy-resource-environment system (ERE) is a crucial aspect of achieving the sustainable development goals. Taking Binzhou City in Shandong Province, a typical city in the Yellow River Delta, as an example, this paper constructs a coupling coordination degree model and examines the coupled and coordinated development of its ERE system from 2000 to 2020. Furthermore, a system dynamics (SD) model of Binzhou City’s ERE is constructed based on 71 indicators, through which causal feedback relationships and flows among subsystems are illustrated. Four scenarios are set for simulation as follows: current trend continuing mode, secondary industry leading mode, resource and environment prioritizing mode, and system coordinated mode. The results show that: 1) Over the past 20 years, the level of coupled and coordinated development in Binzhou City has been increasing year by year, and the type of coupled and coordinated development has gradually transitioned from an unbalanced state to a well-coordinated state, but there is still instability in the ERE; 2) Through SD parameter calculation and multi-scenario simulation analysis of Binzhou City’s ERE, it is pointed out that continuing the current development model cannot achieve high-quality sustainable development in Binzhou City. Therefore, a coordinated and stable development model, which takes economic, resource, and environmental benefits into account, is suggested as the relatively optimal solution for Binzhou City to achieve sustainable development in the long run.

    The identification of paleo-cropping layers is an essential part of the study of the origins of agriculture and the exploration of ancient human land use. It is a challenge that archaeologists and palaeoenvironmentalists are facing together. The existing methods of identifying ancient cultivation layers are costly and limited, and there is an urgent need to develop new, simple, convenient, and reliable methods to identify ancient cultivation layers. Farming without irrigation, using plows to turn the land, once occurred in Beijing’s Dongling Mountain and continued for at least 300 years before retiring. There are also natural meadows and broadleaf forests in the area with no tillage history. In this study, four types of soil profiles, namely natural meadow, natural broadleaf forest, abandoned farming meadow, and abandoned farming broadleaf forest, were compared in terms of their soluble salt content, pH, magnetic susceptibility, and color characteristics in order to establish a method for identifying ancient cultivation layers. It was found that the soluble salt content in the abandoned farming soil profile was significantly lower than that in the natural profile, and the coefficient of variation was also significantly lower than that in the natural profile. The soluble salt content and its coefficient of variation can be used to identify ancient tillage layers without irrigation. Soil magnetic susceptibility and pH also have potential value in identifying ancient cultivation layers, and further in-depth studies are needed.

    Based on the PIC-drift-diffusion hybrid model, a two-dimensional cylindrical-coordinate hybrid model computational procedure suitable for EUV-induced plasma has been developed, which fully takes into account the characteristics of EUV-induced plasma, and adopts the PIC method to track the motion process of ions, and adopts the drift-diffusion model to deal with electrons rapidly entering the quasi-equilibrium state. Based on this hybrid model, the long-time dynamic evolution of multi-pulse EUV-induced H plasma is simulated. The results show that the hybrid model can accurately describe the dynamical behavior of the plasma, and also significantly improve the computational efficiency and expand the time scale. The plasma evolution shows a certain cumulative effect, with the increase of the number of EUV pulses, the average density of the H plasma gradually rises, the average kinetic energy of the electrons gradually decreases, and the flux of H ions reaching the wall gradually increases, all of these parameters tend to stabilize after the number of pulses reaches a certain value. In addition, the pressure of the background gas has a significant effect on the multi-pulse cumulative effect, and the plasma parameters require more pulses to reach a steady state as the background gas pressure increases.

    The potential of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology in the application of individual tree segmentation and parameter estimation in desert Haloxylon ammodendron forests has not been explored. This study uses UAV LiDAR data to extract canopy height models (CHM) at spatial resolutions of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 m on different interpolation methods, and applies the CHM seed point segmentation algorithm to segment individual trees in three types of Haloxylon ammodendron plots with different growth conditions. This study evaluates the impact of spatial resolution and growth conditions on segmentation accuracy, and verifies the extraction accuracy of tree height and crown width with field measurement data. The results show that the inverse distance weighting interpolation has a higher segmentation accuracy in this study. Spatial resolution is a key factor affecting the results of individual tree segmentation, with the best segmentation results obtained at a resolution of 0.25 m.Class III plots had the highest segmentation accuracy, which was 27% higher than that of Class II plots and 44% higher than that of Class I sample plots. The overlapping crowns of Haloxylon ammodendron in plot I make it difficult to distinguish the crown boundaries, while the independent crowns in plot III make it easier to achieve accurate segmentation. The R2 of the tree height fitting model for all three types of plots is around 0.80, with RMSE less than 0.31 m. The R2 of the canopy extraction fit for the Class I and II plots is around 0.70, with a slightly higher RMSE error, and the branches in a half dead state of Haloxylon ammodendron in plot III affect the extraction accuracy of crown width. This study demonstrates that LiDAR data has great potential for individual tree segmentation in desert Haloxylon ammodendron forests, which can provide data support for desert forests carbon sink estimation in Xinjiang.

    This paper addresses the research challenges in unmanned aerial vehicle communication networks, including significant interference among multiple users, high complexity of dynamic models, and the difficulty in designing real-time optimal control strategies. For the first time, the multi-antenna technology is introduced into the quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication network, proposing a complex communication network model under the 3D multi-user multiple-input single-output scenario. This model takes into account the small-scale variations of UAV attitudes and their impact on channel quality. Additionally, the space division multiple access technology is employed to effectively mitigate inter-user interference model predictive control. In this context, an online UAV attitude control and resource allocation strategy based on model predictive control(MPC) algorithm is designed. By iteratively solving the open-loop control problem with a rolling window of limited time duration, the average spectral efficiency of the UAV communication system is maximized. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed coupled communication model significantly improves system gains, and the control strategy efficiently optimizes UAV flight trajectories and allocates communication resources in dynamic environments.

    Based on the current situation and price data of forest land and mineral resources in Yunfu City of Guangdong Province, in 2010, 2015,and 2020, using geostatistical analysis techniques, dynamic index, and accounting models for economic value and ecological value, this paper explores the spatial-temporal differentiation of the value of regional advantageous natural resources assets, and reveals the dynamic changes of the physical quantity and value of forest land and mineral resources assets in Yunfu City. The results show that: in terms of the physical quantity of assets, the forest land and mineral resources in Yunfu City decreased by 1 622.89 and 16.69 hm2 respectively from 2010 to 2015, and increased by 45 877.86 and 485.69 hm2 respectively from 2015 to 2020; in terms of asset value, the value of forest land resources assets (including economic value and ecological value ) increased by 6.164 billion yuan from 2010 to 2015, and the value of mineral resources assets decreased by 272 million yuan. The amount of asset value of forest land resources (including economic value and ecological value) decreased by a total of 1.67 billion yuan from 2015 to 2020, and the amount of asset value of mineral resources increased by a total of 7.956 billion yuan, and the amount of asset value of forest land and mineral resources in Yunfu City experienced more significant changes from 2015 to 2020, and the amount of increase in their physical quantity was higher than the amount of change from 2010 to 2015, and was also higher than the overall amount of change from 2010 to 2020. The value of advantageous natural resource assets in Yunfu City is characterized by obvious spatial and temporal heterogeneity, and factors such as the level of regional economic development and policy regulation have a more significant impact on the amount of natural resource asset value.

    The use of excavated soil from highway construction sites to produce foamed polymeric soil, employed as a thermal insulation layer for seasonally frozen subgrades, not only achieves comprehensive resource utilization but also mitigates frost damage to the subgrades. Based on the excavated soil along the Urumqi Ring Expressway, combined with cement and foam, the foamed polymeric soil with porous insulation properties was developed. The influences of wet density, soil admixture, and water-cement ratio on the thermal conductivity, unconfined compressive strength, and stiffness of foamed polymeric soil were systematically investigated, establishing an intrinsic connection between pore structure and macroscopic performance. The research findings indicate that when the density of foamed polymeric soil increases from 600 kg/m³ to 1 200 kg/m³, its thermal conductivity approximately doubles, strength increases by about 3.95 times, and modulus increases by approximately 10.5 times. Compared to traditional subgrade soil, the thermal conductivity of foamed polymeric soil is significantly reduced by 52%-96.4%. Further analysis of the pore structure reveals that as the pore size of foamed polymeric soil within a unit volume decreases, the proportion of the skeleton increases correspondingly, while the volume of air pores decreases. This microstructural change manifests as improved thermal insulation performance (i.e., reduced thermal conductivity) and significant enhancement in mechanical properties (including strength and stiffness) at the macroscopic level. Foamed polymeric soil not only demonstrates better thermal insulation performance but also exhibits strong mechanical characteristics, providing a suitable solution for the thermal insulation layer of seasonally frozen subgrades.

    Multitemporal polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) provides abundant polarimetric scattering information, which is of great value to the long-term monitoring of various crop lands. To make full use of the time correlation and polarimetric information of multitemporal polarimetric SAR, this paper proposed a multitemporal polarimetric SAR crop classification method, which is based on the complete polarimetric covariance matrix. The method can maintain the complex matrix structure of covariance matrix and realize the independent representation of time dimension in tensor space, so that it can be applied to both full- and compact-polarimetric SAR. The method adopted the object-level classification strategy. Firstly, the superpixel segmentation of multitemporal SAR data was achieved by the simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) method. Then, the covariance matrices of multitemporal SAR were expressed as tensors, and the multilinear principal component analysis (MPCA) method was used to reduce the feature dimension. Finally, the crop classification is achieved by decision tree. In this research, four multitemporal RADARSAT-2 Fine Quad SAR images covered Wuqing District,Tianjin, were used for the crop classification experiments. Compared with methods proposed in other references, the method proposed in this paper achieved the highest overall classification accuracy. Besides, the proposed method was applied to the π/4 mode and the CTLR mode compact-polarimetric SAR to discuss the capability of different kinds of polarimetric SAR in crop classification. Compared with the full-polarimetric SAR, the compact-polarimetric SAR could achieve comparable classification accuracies, but the full-polarimetric SAR performed better at the classes with small sample size, such as rice and lotus.

    Effect of patch size on super-resolution of large scene remote sensing images

    Single image super-resolution (SISR) can improve the resolution of remote sensing images (RSIs), thereby improving the application value of data. At present, the number of pixels of RSIs generally reaches hundreds of millions, and it is usually necessary to divide the image into patches when performing SISR. However, there is a lack of relevant research on how to effectively determine the patch size and whether different sizes affect the results. In this paper, taking a large-scale high-resolution RSIs as the experiment data, 3 typical SISR models are selected, 9 groups of SR experiments under different patch sizes are carried out, and the super-resolution (SR) results for the whole of the large-scaled RSI are analyzed comprehensively both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results show that: 1) Cutting of the patches results in stitching seams at the stitching place. In particular, when the patch size is small, a large number of stitching seams show a block effect and the inconsistency is more obvious. 2) With the increase of the patch size, the SR accuracy of the three models is improved, and the overall computational efficiency is also improved. When the test patches are larger than the training patches, the elapsed time and accuracy stabilize. 3) The feasibility and accuracy of the whole RSI input are closely related to the model. The ESPCN model has the best accuracy when inputting the whole RSI, the RDBPN model may cause the accuracy to decrease due to the non-square matrix of the RSI, and the HSENET model has high requirements for computing power and cannot calculate the whole RSI. In conclusion, this paper provides an experimental basis for the selection of patch size for RSI SR engineering applications.

    Reinforcement of the complete model-based decomposition for polarimetric SAR based on canonical Huynen dichotomy

    As an important technique for the fine interpretation of the polarimetric synthetic aperture radar targets, the model-based polarimetric decomposition is dedicated to additively expanding the complex target scatterings over the canonical models of surface scattering, double-bounce scattering, and volume scattering. However, model-based decompositions suffer from negative powers and insufficient utilization of polarimetric information. The complete model-based decomposition (CMD) and its improvement solve these problems, but cause the so-called zero-power degradation. This is because CMD can not always extract a surface component and a double-bounce component from the remaining matrix after the removal of the volume scattering, and zero scattering power is then inevitable. CMD is reinforced in this paper. We find that the extraction of the surface and double-bounce components in CMD is essentially a sub-dichotomy of the canonical Huynen dichotomy that prefers volume scattering. By adaptively upgrading it with the other two sub-dichotomies of the canonical Huynen dichotomy that prefer surface scattering and dihedral scattering, respectively, the reinforced CMD can always decompose the surface and double-bounce components without degradation,and the problem of zero power is thus effectively solved. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons on measured polarimetric SAR datasets are presented to demonstrate the good performance of the proposed method.
