It is typically used to interpret gravity and magnetic data, and find the horizontal boundaries of geological bodies. Large deviations between model and true edges are common because of the interference of depth and errors in computing the derivatives; thus, edge detection methods cannot provide information about the depth of the source. To simultaneously obtain the horizontal extent and depth of geophysical anomalies, we use normalized edge detection filters, which normalize the edge detection function at different depths, and the maxima that correspond to the location of the source. The errors between model and actual edges are minimized as the depth of the source decreases and the normalized edge detection method recognizes the extent of the source based on the maxima, allowing for reliable model results. We demonstrate the applicability of the normalized edge detection filters in defining the horizontal extent and depth using synthetic and actual aeromagnetic data.展开更多

摘要Robust motion similarity retrieval from monocular 2D pose sequences is challenged by body-scale variation,viewpoint inconsistency,translation drift,and temporal misalignment.Existing contrastive skeleton learning methods primarily address action recognition and rarely integrate explicit geometric canonicalization for retrievaloriented metric learning.This paper proposes a spatial-temporal normalized contrastive embedding framework that unifies structured nuisance suppression with scalable similarity representation learning.A four-stage normalization pipeline—torso-scale normalization,pelvis-centered alignment,posture-axis alignment,and phase-synchronized temporal resampling—removes geometric and temporal distortions prior to embedding.The normalized sequences are encoded using an acausal dilated temporal convolutional network trained with a hybrid contrastive objective combining NT-Xent and semi-hard triplet loss,enabling both global separation and fine-grained stylistic discrimination.A prototype-based representation further supports interpretable amateur-to-professional style mapping.Experiments on a golf swing benchmark achieve a Top-1 accuracy of 91.3%,outperforming BiLSTM and Dynamic Time Warping baselines.The framework establishes an invariant and interpretable paradigmfor motion similarity retrieval applicable to broader human movement analysis tasks.

摘要Objective:To investigate the infulence of the International Normalized Ratio(INR)on the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS)admitted to intensive care units(ICUs).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on ACS patients from the MIMIC-Ⅳ2.0 database,who were admitted to ICUs for the first time between 2008 and 2019 and met the study criteria.The association between the initial INR upon admission and the prognosis of ACS patients was assessed using a restricted cubic spline model at a continuous level.Based on the restricted cubic spline(RCS)curve,patients were stratified into three groups,and a multivariate Cox regression model was applied to analyze the effect of INR on the prognosis of ACS patients.Results:When INR was≤1.0,the mortality risk gradually decreased with increasing INR levels;when INR ranged between 1.0 and 1.5,the mortality risk rose significantly with further elevation of INR;when INR exceeded 1.5,the mortality risk stabilized at a persistently high level,with minimal fluctuations observed despite substantial changes in INR values.Multivariate Cox regression analysis also demonstrated that patients in the medium(1.0-1.5)and high(>1.5)INR groups exhibited significantly higher mortality risks compared to those in the low(≤1.0)INR group.Conclusions:Fluctuations in the INR among patients with ACS admitted to the ICU are associated with an increased risk of mortality and adversely affect patient prognosis.

摘要Fine particulatematter(PM2.5)samples were collected in two neighboring cities,Beijing and Baoding,China.High-concentration events of PM2.5 in which the average mass concentration exceeded 75μg/m3 were frequently observed during the heating season.Dispersion Normalized Positive Matrix Factorization was applied for the source apportionment of PM2.5 as minimize the dilution effects of meteorology and better reflect the source strengths in these two cities.Secondary nitrate had the highest contribution for Beijing(37.3%),and residential heating/biomass burning was the largest for Baoding(27.1%).Secondary nitrate,mobile,biomass burning,district heating,oil combustion,aged sea salt sources showed significant differences between the heating and non-heating seasons in Beijing for same period(2019.01.10–2019.08.22)(Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test P<0.05).In case of Baoding,soil,residential heating/biomass burning,incinerator,coal combustion,oil combustion sources showed significant differences.The results of Pearson correlation analysis for the common sources between the two cities showed that long-range transported sources and some sources with seasonal patterns such as oil combustion and soil had high correlation coefficients.Conditional Bivariate Probability Function(CBPF)was used to identify the inflow directions for the sources,and joint-PSCF(Potential Source Contribution Function)was performed to determine the common potential source areas for sources affecting both cities.These models facilitated a more precise verification of city-specific influences on PM2.5 sources.The results of this study will aid in prioritizing air pollution mitigation strategies during the heating season and strengthening air quality management to reduce the impact of downwind neighboring cities.

摘要This paper introduces a novel numerical method based on an energy-minimizing normalized residual network(EMNorm Res Net)to compute the ground-state solution of Bose-Einstein condensates at zero or low temperatures.Starting from the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation(GPE),we reduce it to the 1D and 2D GPEs because of the radial symmetry and cylindrical symmetry.The ground-state solution is formulated by minimizing the energy functional under constraints,which is directly solved using the EM-Norm Res Net approach.The paper provides detailed solutions for the ground states in 1D,2D(with radial symmetry),and 3D(with cylindrical symmetry).We use the Thomas-Fermi approximation as the target function to pre-train the neural network.Then,the formal network is trained using the energy minimization method.In contrast to traditional numerical methods,our neural network approach introduces two key innovations:(i)a novel normalization technique designed for high-dimensional systems within an energy-based loss function;(ii)improved training efficiency and model robustness by incorporating gradient stabilization techniques into residual networks.Extensive numerical experiments validate the method's accuracy across different spatial dimensions.

摘要Global warming has led to a gradual extension of the navigable window for the Arctic Route,providing a realistic possibility for the normalized commercial operation of the Northeast Passage(NEP).Based on the changes in the navigable window of the NEP,Russia’s proposed nuclear-powered icebreaker construction scheme,and China’s potential development of a moderately sized ice-class fleet,this study establishes three scenarios for the commercial operation of the NEP.These scenarios include:(a)normalized summer operational scenario(from July to October each year),(b)normalized summer-autumn operational scenario(from June to January of the following year),and(c)normalized year-round operational scenario(12 months per year).The cargo transportation potential of the NEP under three normalized operational scenarios was predicted based on the grey prediction model.On this basis,construction scale plans for China’s ice-class fleet to meet cargo transportation demands under the three normalized operational scenarios were designed.The economic benefits of different plans were evaluated using a profit-maximization linear programming model.The research results show the following:(1)The cargo transportation potential of the NEP demonstrates a rapid growth trend in the future,with annual throughput under year-round normalized operations expected to exceed 100 million tonnes and reach 297 million tonnes.(2)Under different normalized operational scenarios,the fleet scale and vessel type composition vary.Under the normalized summer operational scenario,the optimal scale for China’s ice-class fleet is 20 vessels,consisting solely of ships classed as PC7 by the International Association of Classification Societies(IACS).Under the normalized summer-autumn operational scenario,the optimal fleet scale is 31 vessels,including 30 IACS PC7 ships and 1 IACS PC3 ship.Under the normalized year-round operational scenario,the optimal fleet scale is 45 vessels,composed of 30 IACS PC7 ships,8 IACS PC3 ships,and 7 IACS PC2 ships.(3)Among the three normalized operational scenarios,the normalized year-round operational scenario yields the best economic benefits for the fleet scale,while the normalized summer operational scenario yields the lowest economic benefits.

摘要Edge detection is an image processing technique for finding the boundaries of objects within images. It is typically used to interpret gravity and magnetic data, and find the horizontal boundaries of geological bodies. Large deviations between model and true edges are common because of the interference of depth and errors in computing the derivatives; thus, edge detection methods cannot provide information about the depth of the source. To simultaneously obtain the horizontal extent and depth of geophysical anomalies, we use normalized edge detection filters, which normalize the edge detection function at different depths, and the maxima that correspond to the location of the source. The errors between model and actual edges are minimized as the depth of the source decreases and the normalized edge detection method recognizes the extent of the source based on the maxima, allowing for reliable model results. We demonstrate the applicability of the normalized edge detection filters in defining the horizontal extent and depth using synthetic and actual aeromagnetic data.

摘要To develop uniform and seismic environment-dependent design spectrum,common acceleration response spectral characteristics need to be identified.In this paper,a bi-normalized response spectrum (BNRS) is proposed,which is defined as a spectrum of peak response acceleration normalized with respect to peak acceleration of the excitation plotted vs.the natural period of the system normalized with respect to the spectrum predominant period,Tp.Based on a statistical analysis of records from the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake,the conventionally normalized response spectrum(NRS) and the BNRS are examined to account for the effects of soil conditions,epicentral distance,hanging wall and damping.It is found that compared to the NRS the BNRS is much less dependent on these factors.Finally,some simple relationships between the BNRS for a specified damping ratio and that for a damping ratio of 5%,and between the spectra predominant period and epicentral distance for different soil types are provided.
摘要Drought was a severe recurring phenomenon in Iraq over the past two decades due to climate change despite the fact that Iraq has been one of the most water-rich countries in the Middle East in the past.The Iraqi Kurdistan Region(IKR)is located in the north of Iraq,which has also suffered from extreme drought.In this study,the drought severity status in Sulaimaniyah Province,one of four provinces of the IKR,was investigated for the years from 1998 to 2017.Thus,Landsat time series dataset,including 40 images,were downloaded and used in this study.The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI)and the Normalized Difference Water Index(NDWI)were utilized as spectral-based drought indices and the Standardized Precipitation Index(SPI)was employed as a meteorological-based drought index,to assess the drought severity and analyse the changes of vegetative cover and water bodies.The study area experienced precipitation deficiency and severe drought in 1999,2000,2008,2009,and 2012.Study findings also revealed a drop in the vegetative cover by 33.3%in the year 2000.Furthermore,the most significant shrinkage in water bodies was observed in the Lake Darbandikhan(LDK),which lost 40.5%of its total surface area in 2009.The statistical analyses revealed that precipitation was significantly positively correlated with the SPI and the surface area of the LDK(correlation coefficients of 0.92 and 0.72,respectively).The relationship between SPI and NDVI-based vegetation cover was positive but not significant.Low precipitation did not always correspond to vegetative drought;the delay of the effect of precipitation on NDVI was one year.
