This paper introduces an end-to-end Adaptive Cross-Scale Fusion Encoder-Decoder (ACSF-ED) network to predict the action and locate the object efficiently. In the Adaptive Cross-Scale Fusion Spatio-Temporal Encoder (ACSF ST-Encoder), the Asymptotic Cross-scale Feature-fusion Module (ACCFM) is designed to address the issue of information degradation caused by the propagation of high-level semantic information, thereby extracting high-quality multi-scale features to provide superior features for subsequent spatio-temporal information modeling. Within the Shared-Head Decoder structure, a shared classification and regression detection head is constructed. A multi-constraint loss function composed of one-to-one, one-to-many, and contrastive denoising losses is designed to address the problem of insufficient constraint force in predicting results with traditional methods. This loss function enhances the accuracy of model classification predictions and improves the proximity of regression position predictions to ground truth objects. The proposed method model is evaluated on the popular dataset UCF101-24 and JHMDB-21. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 81.52% on the Frame-mAP metric, surpassing current existing methods.展开更多

Improving the integrity of finger-vein is helpful for increasing the finger-vein recognition accuracy. During the process of finger-vein imaging, foreign objects may be attached on fingers, which directly affects the integrity of finger-vein images. In order to effectively extract finger-vein networks, the integrity of venous networks is still not ideal after preprocessing of finger vein images. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning based image restoration method to improve the integrity of finger-vein networks. First, a region detecting method based on adaptive threshold is presented to locate the incomplete region. Next, an encoder-decoder model is used to restore the venous networks of the finger-vein images. Then we analyze the restoration results using several different methods. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective to restore the venous networks of the finger-vein images.展开更多

摘要In recent years,the rapid development of mega-constellations has significantly exacerbated the deterioration of the space debris environment,posing substantial and escalating threats to the safety of spacecraft.This study aims to explore the complex evolution of the space debris environment and assess the collision risks associated with spacecraft.First,a space debris environment topological network model is proposed,which incorporates interdisciplinary methods from topological networks,fluid mechanics,and spacecraft dynamics.This model enables a structured representation of the relationships among space objects and provides rapid predictions of the space debris environment.Then,a collision probability algorithm based on the topological network model is introduced.This algorithm inherits the efficiency advantages of the topological network model and has been validated for reliability through comparison with the classical ESA’s DRAMA software.Finally,based on the above models,the collision risks of constellation satellites in Low Earth Orbit(LEO)are analyzed,including both operational and deorbit processes.The study reveals that constellation satellites face a much higher risk of internal collisions with satellites from the same constellation during operations than that with other space objects.Additionally,during the satellite deorbit process,the collision risk peaks when satellites traverse the operational region of Starlink satellites.

摘要Noise reduction analysis of signals is essential for modern underwater acoustic detection systems.The traditional noise reduction techniques gradually lose efficacy because the target signal is masked by biological and natural noise in the marine environ-ment.The feature extraction method combining time-frequency spectrograms and deep learning can effectively achieve the separation of noise and target signals.A fully convolutional encoder-decoder neural network(FCEDN)is proposed to address the issue of noise reduc-tion in underwater acoustic signals.The time-domain waveform map of underwater acoustic signals is converted into a wavelet low-frequency analysis recording spectrogram during the denoising process to preserve as many underwater acoustic signal characteristics as possible.The FCEDN is built to learn the spectrogram mapping between noise and target signals that can be learned at each time level.The transposed convolution transforms are introduced,which can transform the spectrogram features of the signals into listenable audio files.After evaluating the systems on the ShipsEar Dataset,the proposed method can increase SNR and SI-SNR by 10.02 and 9.5dB,re-spectively.

摘要Internal structural defects in engineering rock masses vary in size,exhibit complex shapes,and are unevenly distributed.Dominant fractures within a rock mass often play a critical to its mechanical behavior,directly affecting the macromechanical properties and failure modes.These fractures affect the instability and failure of the surrounding rock,significantlyimpacting the overall stability of engineering structures.Herein,sand-powder three-dimensional(3D)printing technology was used to prepare rock-like specimens with internal fracture networks.Triaxial compression testing,post-failure fracture mapping,and fractal dimension analysis of the fracture surfaces were conducted to investigate the effects of dominant fracture angles on the strength and deformation of rocks with internal fracture networks under triaxial stress.The results indicate that the dominant fracture angle has a pronounced effect on the mechanical behavior of rock.With increasing angle,both compressive strength and elastic modulus exhibit an initial decline followed by an increase.Moreover,higher confiningpressure significantlyimproves the compressive strength of fractured rock.This enhancement weakens as the confiningpressure further increases.Moreover,with increasing confiningpressure,the differences between the maximum and minimum values of elastic moduli and lateral strain ratios in fractured rock gradually decrease.Thus,the impact of the dominant fracture angle on rock mass deformation decreases with increasing confiningpressure.This research elucidates the effects of dominant fracture angles on the mechanical and failure properties of complex fractured rock masses and the influenceof the confiningpressure on these relationships.It provides valuable theoretical insights and practical guidance for stability analyses in engineering rock masses.

摘要This paper investigates the reliability of internal marine combustion engines using an integrated approach that combines Fault Tree Analysis(FTA)and Bayesian Networks(BN).FTA provides a structured,top-down method for identifying critical failure modes and their root causes,while BN introduces flexibility in probabilistic reasoning,enabling dynamic updates based on new evidence.This dual methodology overcomes the limitations of static FTA models,offering a comprehensive framework for system reliability analysis.Critical failures,including External Leakage(ELU),Failure to Start(FTS),and Overheating(OHE),were identified as key risks.By incorporating redundancy into high-risk components such as pumps and batteries,the likelihood of these failures was significantly reduced.For instance,redundant pumps reduced the probability of ELU by 31.88%,while additional batteries decreased the occurrence of FTS by 36.45%.The results underscore the practical benefits of combining FTA and BN for enhancing system reliability,particularly in maritime applications where operational safety and efficiency are critical.This research provides valuable insights for maintenance planning and highlights the importance of redundancy in critical systems,especially as the industry transitions toward more autonomous vessels.

摘要Flavonoids,abundant in the fruits,are pivotal to their growth,development,and storage.In addition,they have significant beneficial effects on human health.Consequently,research is increasingly concentrating on the regulatory mechanisms governing flavonoid biosynthesis in fruits.Phytohormones are involved in the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis.The abscisic acid,ethylene,jasmonic acid,cytokinins,and brassinosteroids promote flavonoid biosynthesis,while auxin negatively regulates flavonoid biosynthesis.Subsequently,transcription factors from the MYB,bHLH,WRKY,NAC,and bZIP families are pivotal in regulating flavonoid biosynthesis.In addition,non-coding RNAs(microRNA and lncRNA)also participate in the regulation of flavonoids biosynthesis.MicroRNAs are generally believed to negatively regulate flavonoid metabolism in fruits,while lncRNAs have the opposite effect.Furthermore,the interactions between plant hormones,transcription factors,and non-coding RNAs in fruit flavonoid biosynthesis were analyzed.Ultimately,a foundational regulatory network for fruit flavonoid biosynthesis was hereby established.

摘要Sedimentary facies modeling is a critical approach for understanding geological phenomena,yet the strong heterogeneity of reservoir systems poses a serious challenge for their refined characterization.In this study,we innovatively propose an interpretable attention-guided generative adversarial network framework with dual-domain learning,which achieves precise sedimentary facies modeling under the constraints of well facies and soft probability data.Specifically,we first effectively extract and preserve prior information of sedimentary facies models from both spatial and frequency domain perspectives.Then,during simulation,to enhance the capability of the network model for finely characterizing complex heterogeneous models,cross-spatial attention mechanisms are designed to effectively capture short-range and long-range dependencies between multi-scale pattern features.Additionally,through systematic feature map visualization analysis,we elucidate the processes of conditional fitting and complex sedimentary facies model reconstruction,intuitively demonstrating the functional mechanisms of each module.Finally,systematic experiments are conducted on multiple datasets to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.The results demonstrate that the generated sedimentary facies models exhibit high consistency with training datasets in terms of visual realism and statistical indicators.Quantitative comparisons reveal remarkable performance of the method,achieving low Wasserstein distance(0.09),Kernel Inception Distance(0.0017)and Kernel Maximum Mean Discrepancy(0.21).These findings further confirm the high realism of the generated realizations regarding pattern features.This study offers a reliable and practical method for geological reservoir modeling,thereby advancing quantitative,precise geological research with broad application prospects.

摘要Urban spatial morphology(USM)optimization is critical to balancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable urbanization.However,previous studies predominantly focused on the socio-economic efficiency and static ecological metrics and rarely addressed the dynamic USM optimization across spatial scales.Here,we developed a multi-level ecological network(MEN)framework to resolve the tension between urban expansion and ecological integrity.By integrating the cost-weighted distance analysis with a hierarchical network transmission mechanism,we established a cross-scale spatial optimization system,which coordinated the regional ecological corridors and local habitat patches.Comparative experiments with conventional single-scale approaches and scenario simulations using the PLUS model show that the MEN framework had superior performance in three dimensions:(1)spatial governance:the primary-level network(peri-urban natural reserves)effectively contained urban sprawl,and the secondary-level network(intra-urban green corridors)mitigated habitat fragmentation and improved the built-environment;(2)scenario robustness:the model maintained an optimal compactness-loose balance in multiple development pathways;(3)landscape metrics:patch fragmentation decreased by 18.25%,and the internal landscape richness improved by 10.66%compared to the scenario without USM optimization.The findings provide new insight to establish a hierarchical ecological optimization framework as a nature-based spatial protocol to reconcile metropolitan growth with landscape sustainability.

摘要Shape memory polymers used in 4D printing only had one permanent shape after molding,which limited their applications in requiring multiple reconstructions and multifunctional shapes.Furthermore,the inherent stability of the triazine ring structure within cyanate ester(CE)crosslinked networks after molding posed significant challenges for both recycling,repairing,and degradation of resin.To address these obstacles,dynamic thiocyanate ester(TCE)bonds and photocurable group were incorporated into CE,obtaining the recyclable and 3D printable CE covalent adaptable networks(CANs),denoted as PTCE1.5.This material exhibits a Young's modulus of 810 MPa and a tensile strength of 50.8 MPa.Notably,damaged printed PTCE1.5 objects can be readily repaired through reprinting and interface rejoining by thermal treatment.Leveraging the solid-state plasticity,PTCE1.5 also demonstrated attractive shape memory ability and permanent shape reconfigurability,enabling its reconfigurable 4D printing.The printed PTCE1.5 hinges and a main body were assembled into a deployable and retractable satellite model,validating its potential application as a controllable component in the aerospace field.Moreover,printed PTCE1.5 can be fully degraded into thiol-modified intermediate products.Overall,this material not only enriches the application range of CE resin,but also provides a reliable approach to addressing environmental issue.

摘要Finger-vein recognition is widely applied on access control system due to the high user acceptance and convince. Improving the integrity of finger-vein is helpful for increasing the finger-vein recognition accuracy. During the process of finger-vein imaging, foreign objects may be attached on fingers, which directly affects the integrity of finger-vein images. In order to effectively extract finger-vein networks, the integrity of venous networks is still not ideal after preprocessing of finger vein images. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning based image restoration method to improve the integrity of finger-vein networks. First, a region detecting method based on adaptive threshold is presented to locate the incomplete region. Next, an encoder-decoder model is used to restore the venous networks of the finger-vein images. Then we analyze the restoration results using several different methods. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective to restore the venous networks of the finger-vein images.

摘要As a common and high-risk type of disease,heart disease seriously threatens people’s health.At the same time,in the era of the Internet of Thing(IoT),smart medical device has strong practical significance for medical workers and patients because of its ability to assist in the diagnosis of diseases.Therefore,the research of real-time diagnosis and classification algorithms for arrhythmia can help to improve the diagnostic efficiency of diseases.In this paper,we design an automatic arrhythmia classification algorithm model based on Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)and Encoder-Decoder model.The model uses Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)to consider the influence of time series features on classification results.Simultaneously,it is trained and tested by the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database.Besides,Generative Adversarial Networks(GAN)is adopted as a method of data equalization for solving data imbalance problem.The simulation results show that for the inter-patient arrhythmia classification,the hybrid model combining CNN and Encoder-Decoder model has the best classification accuracy,of which the accuracy can reach 94.05%.Especially,it has a better advantage for the classification effect of supraventricular ectopic beats(class S)and fusion beats(class F).

摘要Urbanization is a significant driver of the loss of biodiversity and the disruption of ecosystems.Amphibians are especially vulnerable to the negative impact of urbanization as their life cycles and habitat requirements are complex.The present study investigated the effects of urbanization on amphibian predation networks in suburban Kunming in Yunnan,China and aimed to understand how predation network structure and stability vary with urbanization level.We constructed predation networks by analyzing the stomach contents of amphibians from 12d istinct urbanization gradients.We used the bipartite package in R to evaluate network robustness metrics such as modularity,nestedness,connectivity,and average shortest path length(ASPL).We found that urbanization level is negatively correlated with predation network connectivity(R=−0.67,Ρ=0.02),but there were no significant correlations between urbanization level and nestedness,modularity,or ASPL.Removal of the keystone species destabilized the predation networks at certain locations.The present work highlighted that maintaining prey quantity and diversity preserves predation network connectivity and stabilizes the overall network in urbanizing landscapes.It also underscored the critical role that keystone species play in sustaining network robustness.The results of this research provided insights into the ecological consequences of urbanization.They also suggested that conservation measures should protect the key species and habitats of amphibian predation networks and mitigate the negative impact of urban development on them.
