The ...Flash floods in arid environments are a major hazard feature to human and to the infrastructure. Shortage of accurate environmental data is main reason for inaccurate prediction of flash flooding characteristics. The curve number (CN) is a hydrologic number used to describe the storm water runoff potential for drainage area. This study introduces an approach to determine runoff coefficient in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia using remote sensing and GIS. Remote sensing and geographic information system techniques were used to obtain and prepare input data for hydrologic model. The land cover map was derived using maximum likelihood classification of a SPOT image. The soil properties (texture and permeability) were derived using the soil maps published my ministry of water and agriculture in Saudi Arabia. These soil parameters were used to classify the soil map into hydrological soil groups (HSG). Using the derived information within the hydrological modelling system, the runoff depth was predicted for an assumed severe storm scenario. The advantages of the proposed approach are simplicity, less input data, one software used for all steps, and its ability to be applied for any site. The results show that the runoff depth is directly proportional to runoff coefficient and the total volume of runoff is more than 136 million cubic meters for a rainfall of 103.6 mm.展开更多

In this case, several hypothesis tests on the model under consideration may be biased, for example, CHOW’s coefficient stability test (or structural change test), Student’s t-test and Fisher’s F-test. Most of the heteroscedasticity tests in the literature are based on the comparison of variances. Despite the multiplication of equality tests of coefficients of variation (CVs) that have appeared in the literature, to our knowledge, the first and only use of the coefficient of variation in the detection of heteroskedasticity was offered by Li and Yao in 2017. Thus, this paper offers an approach to determine the existence of heteroskedasticity by a test of equality of coefficients of variation. We verify by a Monte Carlo robustness and performance test that our method seems even better than some tests in the literature. The results of this study contribute to the exploitation of the statistical measurement of CV dispersion. They help technicians economists to better verify their hypotheses before making a scientific decision when making a necessary forecast, in order to contribute effectively to the economic and sustainable development of a company or enterprise.展开更多

摘要Reconfigurable array architecture has become an important hardware platform for edge-side deployment of convolutional neural networks due to their high parallelism and flexible programmability.However,traditional multi-branch convolutional networks suffer from computational redundancy,high memory access overhead,and inefficient branch fusion.Therefore,this paper proposes an adaptive multi-branch convolutional module(AMBC)that integrates software-hardware co-optimization.During training,the learnable fusion coefficients are introduced to enable adaptive fusion of multi-scale features,while in the inference phase,the multiple branches and their normalization parameters are merged with the fusion coefficients into a single 3×3 convolutional kernel through operator fusion.On the SIREA-288 reconfigurable platform,compared with unoptimized multi-branch networks,the proposed AMBC reduces external memory accesses by 47.91%and inference latency by 47.20%,achieving a 1.90×speedup.This approach maximizes the utilization of the reconfigurable logic while minimizing both reconfiguration and data-movement overheads in edge inference.
摘要BACKGROUND Renal artery stenosis(RAS)is a vascular disorder linked to secondary hypertension,chronic kidney disease,and renal failure due to interstitial fibrosis.Early diagnosis is crucial as RAS-induced hypertension responds well to angioplasty.Non-invasive imaging techniques,including non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography(NC-MRA),help assess RAS without contrast-related risks.Diffusion-weighted MR imaging(DW-MRI)has emerged as a promising method for evaluating kidney function by measuring the apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC),which correlates with renal pathology.AIM To compare ADC values in hypertensive,RAS,and healthy kidneys,assess the correlation between ADC and stenosis severity,and evaluate its relationship with split glomerular filtration rate(GFR).METHODS This prospective observational study which included 86 patients with suspected RAS and twenty normal healthy controls underwent NC-MRA on a 3T-MR-Scanner followed by DW-MRI at b values of 0 and 1000 seconds/mm2 in the transverse plane.ADC maps were created using Functool.ADC values were measured in the cortex and medulla of each kidney's upper,middle,and lower pole,and the average ADC(ADCavg)for cortex and medulla calculated.In patients with RAS,degree of stenosis(DOS)was calculated on NC-MRA.The ADC of 212 kidneys was compared,and the relationship between DOS and ADC was established.In addition,split GFR was calculated in 30 kidneys using 99mTc-DTPA,and correlated with ADC value.The ADC values of kidneys with and without RAS were compared using the Student’s t-test.The correlation between ADC and stenosis severity was assessed by Spearman’s test,while the relationship between ADC and split GFR was evaluated using Pearson’s test.A P value<0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS RAS was detected in 58 of 86(67.44%)hypertensive patients(81 of 172 kidneys),and the ADCavg(P=0.044)was significantly lower in RAS kidneys than in kidneys with normal arteries and essential hypertension and healthy controls.CONCLUSION DW-MRI can be a useful non-invasive technique to estimate the kidney’s functional status in RAS patients.It can be used as a complementary assessment tool with NC-MRA to triage patients in need of interventional management.

摘要Infinite dilution activity coefficient(γ∞)is a key thermodynamic parameter in solvent design for chemical processes.Although conductor-like screening model for segment activity coefficient(COSMO-SAC)exhibits strong prior predictive capabilities,its estimations are sometimes only qualitative rather than quantitative.Another limitation of COSMO-SAC arises from the reliance on time-intensive quantum chemistry calculations,which restricts its scalability for large-scale solvent screening.To overcome these issues,this study integrates COSMO-SAC with machine learning for accurate γ∞ prediction of binary mixtures.By bypassing the necessity for quantum chemistry calculations,the multi-task machine learning model could rapidly predict the surface charge density distribution(o-profiles)and molecular cavity volume(Vcosmo)of molecules and ions,while accurately distinguishing isomers.Four adjustable parameters of COSMO-SAC are optimized using more than 20000 experimental data points of γ,and residual systematic errors are further corrected with the boosting ensemble strategy to improve the model performance.The resulting hybrid model reduces the mean absolute error from 0.944 to 0.102(R2=0.969),representing an 89%improvement,while preserving the physicochemical interpretability of model.This accurate and efficient approach broadens the practical applicability of o-profiles and Vcosmo prediction,as well as γ∞ calculations based on COSMO-SAC,facilitating the high-throughput solvent screening for diverse chemical engineering applications.

摘要Data-driven approaches have shown great advantage in rapidly and accurately predicting pressure coefficient distributions,which is of crucial importance to efficient aircraft design.Nevertheless,most data-driven approaches still encounter limitations in characterizing diverse aerodynamic configurations and adapting to varying grid densities,which have hindered their engineering applicability.In response to these challenges,this work adopts point clouds,a specific type of geometric data structure that is inherently suitable for uniformly characterizing diverse 2D/3D geometric shapes as the input for deep learning-based prediction of pressure coefficient distribution.By augmenting the dimensions of point cloud coordinates for local feature enhancement and utilizing the symmetric function“max pooling”to extract global features,the proposed aerodynamic model establishes the mapping between point cloud coordinates and pressure coefficients.Basic aerodynamic configurations like airfoils and wings are employed as test cases,the results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves both high accuracy and robust generalizability across variable geometries.For class-shape transformation-perturbed airfoils,the prediction error can be reduced to one-third of that of the conventional parameterization-based model.For airfoils selected in the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign airfoil dataset,among which airfoil profiles are widely distributed,the average error of the proposed approach remains approximately 1.5%,whereas the parameterization-based model may fail.For wings,the prediction error still stays below 2.5%.Finally,the model exhibits strong robustness and generalizability across different point cloud densities.In conclusion,this work makes a breakthrough in predicting pressure coefficient distribution for variable geometric configurations,establishing the foundational framework for designing a large model capable of predicting distributed aerodynamic loads in aerospace applications.
摘要Flash floods in arid environments are a major hazard feature to human and to the infrastructure. Shortage of accurate environmental data is main reason for inaccurate prediction of flash flooding characteristics. The curve number (CN) is a hydrologic number used to describe the storm water runoff potential for drainage area. This study introduces an approach to determine runoff coefficient in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia using remote sensing and GIS. Remote sensing and geographic information system techniques were used to obtain and prepare input data for hydrologic model. The land cover map was derived using maximum likelihood classification of a SPOT image. The soil properties (texture and permeability) were derived using the soil maps published my ministry of water and agriculture in Saudi Arabia. These soil parameters were used to classify the soil map into hydrological soil groups (HSG). Using the derived information within the hydrological modelling system, the runoff depth was predicted for an assumed severe storm scenario. The advantages of the proposed approach are simplicity, less input data, one software used for all steps, and its ability to be applied for any site. The results show that the runoff depth is directly proportional to runoff coefficient and the total volume of runoff is more than 136 million cubic meters for a rainfall of 103.6 mm.

摘要Hydraulic spool valves are crucial components of hydraulic systems.Solid pollution particles mixed in hydraulic oil could result erosion wear of the valve orifice,then lead to a decrease in the performance of valves.Most studies focused on analyzing the influencing factors and mechanism of erosion wear,while a few considered its evolution,which is the basis for predicting orifice throttling coefficient.According to the variation of orifice throttling coefficient,compensating control could be applied to the hydraulic valves to improve its control performance,and the service life of the spool could also be predicted.In this study,an orifice erosion rate model using finite element analysis(FEA) simulation was firstly established based on the E/CRC erosion model,which mainly consisted of two easily obtainable parameters in hydraulic systems:spool opening and pressure difference.The orifice throttling coefficient prediction model was further established by combining orifice erosion rate model and worn profile model,which model could predict the throttling coefficient and output flow of hydraulic spool valves in real time.The erosion experiments were carried out,and the worn morphologies of orifice positions were also characterized and analyzed,the results showed that the model could accurately predict the orifice erosion rate and the orifice throttling coefficient,the maximum relative error between the prediction model and the experimental measurements is 9.11%.The findings of this study ensure the accurate prediction of the impact of erosion wear and provide guidance for improving the control performance of hydraulic valves.

摘要42CrMo steel was studied in this paper on its thermomechanical behavior when subjected to dynamic compression,utilizing in-situ dynamic tests and crystal plasticity finite element method(CPFEM)simulations.A split Hopkinson pressure bar,combined with high-speed infrared thermography,was employed to simultaneously record the mechanical response and corresponding temperature evolution,enabling the derivation of the Taylor-Quinney coefficient(TQC).To explore the impact of texture orientation on thermomechanical behavior,a dislocation density-based CPFEM model was applied to analyze the plastic deformation process.The findings demonstrate a satisfactory consistency between numerical predictions and experimental results achieved by the dislocation density-based CPFEM.Simulations of four typical textures demonstrated that texture,through changes in the activated slip systems,significantly influences the evolution of the TQC.These findings contribute valuable insights to the TQC database,enhancing our understanding of material behavior under dynamic loading conditions.
摘要Color-coded fringe patterns have emerged as a key technique for enabling real-time three-dimen-sional(3D)shape measurement in fringe projection profilometry(FPP).However,color crosstalk inherent in color cameras remains a significant factor limiting measurement accuracy.To mitigate this issue,a high-pre-cision calibration method for color crosstalk coefficients is proposed to enable effective correction in this pa-per.Specifically,a crosstalk coefficient estimator is developed based on orthogonal phase-shifted fringe pat-terns,and the theoretical relationship between the crosstalk coefficients and phase error is derived.The color orthogonal fringes are then designed to project onto a standard planar target to acquire separated R,G,and B channel patterns.Finally,a particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm is introduced to optimize the crosstalk-induced phase errors and calibrate the crosstalk coefficients with high precision.Experimental val-idation based on a standard dual-sphere calibration plate shows that the diameter fitting errors of the two spheres are 0.0191 mm and 0.0160 mm,respectively,and the error in the calculated center-to-center distance is as low as 0.0120 mm,which demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively enhance the measure-ment accuracy and applicability of color cameras in fringe projection technology.

摘要This paper proposes a gain-based neural secure protection(GBNSP)control scheme for feedforward nonlinear systems subject to unknown control coefficients and impulsive false data injection(FDI)attacks.Notably,the nonlinear functions of the systems are relaxed to any continuous functions and the control coefficients are permitted to be constants with both unknown sizes and signs,a scenario not covered in existing works.Furthermore,the uncertain abrupt changes in system states caused by impulsive FDI attacks inevitably exacerbate the challenges in control design.To this end,this paper integrates the neural network technique and the gain control method to propose a novel GBNSP control scheme.Specifically,the neural network technique effectively compensates for strong nonlinearities and uncertainties,while the gain control method quantifies the tolerable frequency of impulsive FDI attacks and avoids the tedious design procedures.It is shown that,under the designed GBNSP controller,all closed-loop signals remain bounded and the system states eventually converge to an adjustable neighborhood near the origin.Moreover,an enhanced GBNSP control scheme incorporates an improved gain scaling mechanism to withstand unknown external disturbances.In the end,the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed scheme are validated by a theoretical example and a practical example.

摘要Quantitative inversion of fracture weakness plays an important role in fracture prediction.Considering reservoirs with a set of vertical fractures as horizontal transversely isotropic media,the logarithmic normalized azimuthal elastic impedance(EI)is rewritten in terms of Fourier coefficients(FCs),the 90°ambiguity in the azimuth estimation of the symmetry axis is resolved by judging the sign of the second FC,and we choose the FCs with the highest sensitivity to fracture weakness and present a feasible inversion workflow for fracture weakness,which involves:(1)the inversion for azimuthal EI datasets from observed azimuthal angle gathers;(2)the prediction for the second FCs and azimuth of the symmetry axis from the estimated azimuthal EI datasets;and(3)the estimation of fracture weakness combining the extracted second FCs and azimuth of the symmetry axis iteratively,which is constrained utilizing the Cauchy sparse regularization and the low-frequency regularization in a Bayesian framework.Tests on synthetic and field data demonstrate that the 90°ambiguity in the azimuth estimation of the symmetry axis has been removed,and reliable fracture weakness can be obtained when the estimated azimuth of the symmetry axis deviates less than 30°,which can guide the prediction of fractured reservoirs.

摘要The coupled nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations with variable coefficients are researched using the nonstandard Hirota bilinear method.The two-soliton and double-hump one-soliton solutions for the equations are first obtained.By assigning different functions to the variable coefficients,we obtain V-shaped,Y-shaped,wave-type,exponential solitons,and so on.Next,we reveal the influence of the real and imaginary parts of the wave numbers on the double-hump structure based on the soliton solutions.Finally,by setting different wave numbers,we can change the distance and transmission direction of the solitons to analyze their dynamic behavior during collisions.This study establishes a theoretical framework for controlling the dynamics of optical fiber in nonlocal nonlinear systems.
摘要BACKGROUND Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging(DWI)has emerged as a noncontrast functional imaging technique for renal mass characterization.Its role in differentiating histopathological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma(RCC)remains an area of active investigation.AIM To evaluate the role of DWI and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values in differentiating histopathological subtypes of RCC.METHODS In this prospective observational study,127 patients with histopathologically proven RCC who underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)including DWI were analyzed.Diffusion-weighted imaging was performed using b values of 0 second/mm2 and 1000 seconds/mm2,and ADC maps were generated.ADC values were measured from solid tumor components and compared among RCC subtypes.Statistical analysis included subgroup comparisons and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis to assess the ability of ADC values to differentiate clear cell RCC(ccRCC)from non-ccRCC.RESULTS Of the 127 RCCs,97(76.4%)were ccRCC,24(18.9%)papillary RCC,and 6(4.7%)chromophobe RCC.The mean ADC value of ccRCC[(1.391±0.271)×10-3mm2/second]was significantly higher than that of papillary RCC[(0.876±0.293)×10-3mm2/second;P<0.001]and chromophobe RCC[(1.059±0.369)×10-3mm2/second;P=0.04].No significant difference was observed between papillary and chromophobe RCC(P=0.396).When grouped,ccRCC demonstrated a significantly higher mean ADC value compared with non-ccRCC[(1.391±0.271)×10-3mm2/second vs(0.915±0.312)×10-3mm2/second;P<0.001].Receiver operating characteristic analysis yielded an area under the curve of 0.889(95%confidence interval:0.804-0.975).An ADC threshold of 1.08×10-3mm2/second achieved 90%sensitivity and 83%specificity for identifying ccRCC.CONCLUSION DWI with quantitative ADC analysis reliably differentiates clear cell from non-ccRCC and demonstrates significant correlation with RCC subtype and tumor grade.DWI serves as a valuable adjunct to conventional MRI,particularly in patients with contraindications to contrast administration.

摘要In the present paper,we investigate the asymptotics of Fourier coefficients associated to automorphic representations on a specific sparse sequence.For any fixed integer k≥2,we establish the asymptotic distribution of absolute values of Fourier coefficients arising from the automorphic representations on the sequence of k-free integers.These results refine and generalize the previous work in this direction.
摘要This paper introduces a novel analytical technique called the "Variable Coefficient Second Degree Generalized Abel equation Method"(VCSDGAE),designed to tackle the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.Unlike conventional methods that depend on constant coefficient ordinary differential equations(ODEs) and auxiliary ODEs,our approach employs variable coefficient ODEs within a sub-equation framework.We demonstrate the versatility of this method by successfully applying it to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.Through the presentation of analytical solutions,we showcase the method's effectiveness and efficiency,positioning it as a valuable resource for addressing complex nonlinear partial differential equations in fields such as fluid dynamics and wave propagation.The stability of the obtained soliton solutions is established through a linear stability analysis,confirming their robustness against small perturbations.This research not only broadens the spectrum of available analytical techniques but also contributes significantly to the advancement of solutions for various mathematical physics models.
摘要The presence of heteroskedasticity in a considered regression model may bias the standard deviations of parameters obtained by the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. In this case, several hypothesis tests on the model under consideration may be biased, for example, CHOW’s coefficient stability test (or structural change test), Student’s t-test and Fisher’s F-test. Most of the heteroscedasticity tests in the literature are based on the comparison of variances. Despite the multiplication of equality tests of coefficients of variation (CVs) that have appeared in the literature, to our knowledge, the first and only use of the coefficient of variation in the detection of heteroskedasticity was offered by Li and Yao in 2017. Thus, this paper offers an approach to determine the existence of heteroskedasticity by a test of equality of coefficients of variation. We verify by a Monte Carlo robustness and performance test that our method seems even better than some tests in the literature. The results of this study contribute to the exploitation of the statistical measurement of CV dispersion. They help technicians economists to better verify their hypotheses before making a scientific decision when making a necessary forecast, in order to contribute effectively to the economic and sustainable development of a company or enterprise.
