摘要High-performance terahertz(THz)logic gate devices are crucial components for signal processing and modulation,playing a significant role in the application of THz communication and imaging.Here,we propose a THz broadband NOR logic encoder based on a graphene-metal hybrid metasurface.The unit structure consists of two symmetrical dual-gap metal split-ring resonators(DSRRs)arranged in a staggered configuration,with graphene strips embedded in their gaps.The NOR logic gate metadevice is controlled by the bias voltages independently applied to the two electrodes.Experiments show that when the bias voltages are applied to both electrodes,the metadevice achieves the NOR logic gate within a 0.52 THz bandwidth,with an average modulation depth above 80%.The experimental results match well with theoretical simulations.Additionally,the strong near-field coupling induced by the staggered DSRRs causes redshift at both LC resonance and dipole resonance.This phenomenon was demonstrated by coupled mode theory.Besides,we analyze the surface current distribution at resonances and propose four equivalent circuit models to elucidate the physical mechanisms of modulation under distinct loaded voltage conditions.The results not only advance modulation and logic gate designs for THz communication but also demonstrate significant potential applications in 6G networks,THz imaging,and radar systems.

摘要OBJECTIVE:To develop an automated system for identifying and classifying constitution types in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)by leveraging multi-model fusion algorithms.METHODS:A condensed version of a physical information collection form was designed to facilitate efficient data acquisition.The collected data were analyzed using a multi-model fusion approach,which integrated several machine learning techniques.These included support vector machines,Naive Bayes,decision trees,random forests,logistic regression,multilayer perceptrons,K-nearest neighbors,gradient boosting,adaptive ensemble learning,and recurrent neural networks.A soft voting strategy was used to combine the predictive outputs of each model,enabling the selection of the most effective model combination.RESULTS:The classification models demonstrated consistent and robust performance across most TCM constitution types when enhanced by the multi-model fusion strategy.In particular,high levels of accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-score were achieved for constitution types such as Yang deficiency,Qi deficiency,and Qi stagnation.However,the classification performance for the Yin deficiency constitution was relatively lower,indicating the need for further refinement and optimization in future research.CONCLUSION:This study introduces a novel,automated method for classifying TCM constitution types through the application of multi-model fusion algorithms.The approach simplifies the complex task of constitution identification while offering a practical and theoretical framework for the intelligent diagnosis of TCM body types.The findings have the potential to enhance personalized health management and support clinical decision-making in TCM diagnosis and treatment.

摘要In response to the shortcomings of the common encoders in the industry,of which the photoelectric encoders have a poor anti-interference ability in harsh industrial environments with water,oil,dust,or strong vibrations and the magnetic encoders are too sensitive to magnetic field density,this paper designs a new differential encoder based on the grating eddy-current measurement principle,abbreviated as differential grating eddy-current encoder(DGECE).The grating eddy-current of DGECE consists of a circular array of trapezoidal reflection conductors and 16 trapezoidal coils with a special structure to form a differential relationship,which are respectively located on the code plate and the readout plate designed by a printed circuit board.The differential structure of DGECE corrects the common mode interference and the amplitude distortion due to the assembly to some extent,possesses a certain anti-interference capability,and greatly simplifies the regularization algorithm of the original data.By means of the corresponding readout circuit and demodulation algorithm,the DGECE can convert the periodic impedance variation of 16 coils into an angular output within the 360°cycle.Due to its simple manufacturing process and certain interference immunity,DGECE is easy to be integrated and mass-produced as well as applicable in the industrial spindles,especially in robot joints.This paper presents the measurement principle,implementation methods,and results of the experiment of the DGECE.The experimental results show that the accuracy of the DGECE can reach 0.237%and the measurement standard deviation can reach±0.14°within360°cycle.

摘要Understanding how birds perceive and recognize visual objects remains a fundamental question in neuroscience.The entopallium,a key node in the avian tectofugal pathway,has long been implicated in complex visual processing,yet its internal functional architecture remains incompletely understood.In this study,neuronal activity in the pigeon entopallium was systematically mapped using controlled visual stimuli that independently varied in color,shape,and motion.Recordings revealed marked hue selectivity that remained invariant across luminance levels,pronounced orientation tuning in response to shape stimuli,and robust direction selectivity for moving stimuli.Spatial mapping further revealed distinct functional segregation,with color-selective neurons localized anteroventrally,shape-selective neurons dorsally,and motion-selective neurons posteriorly.At the same time,partial overlap among these response classes was observed,with a subset of neurons exhibiting joint tuning across stimulus dimensions,suggesting an organizational scheme characterized by regional specialization and partial cross-feature integration.Notably,entopallium neurons exhibited a moderate level of visual feature integration and shared important functional properties with early to intermediate stages of mammalian visual processing.Together,these findings establish the entopallium as a major site for multidimensional visual analysis in birds and provide evidence for convergent principles underlying the evolution of complex visual systems across vertebrates.

摘要This study proposes a deep learning-based method termed frequency-flexible chemical exchange saturation transfer(CEST)imaging network(FlexCENT),which enables robust CEST quantification across variable frequency offset schemes without requiring retraining.FlexCENT integrates frequency offset encoding with a three-dimensional(3D)U-Net to process CEST images and frequency offsets as inputs and predict Lorentzian parameters of the 4-pool model(water,MT,APT,rNOE),including B0 inhomogeneity.By transforming frequency offsets into a continuous spectral feature representation,the frequency offset encoding allows FlexCENT to generalize to unseen frequency offset schemes.Trained on synthetic data generated from the 4-pool Lorentzian model,FlexCENT was validated through numerical simulations,tumor-bearing mouse experiments,and a human brain experiment,alongside comparisons with 4-pool Lorentzian fitting,DeepCEST,and LKAN networks.The results demonstrate that FlexCENT successfully quantified CEST parameters across all experiments,maintaining consistent performance under varying frequency offset conditions without retraining.It exhibited superior noise robustness in numerical simulations and enhanced anatomical delineation in vivo parametric mapping compared to other methods.In conclusion,by combining spectral information with spatial information,FlexCENT provides an efficient,flexible,and robust quantitative approach for CEST imaging.It significantly enhance the quantification capability and clinical potential of CEST imaging.

摘要Transformers have become the dominant architecture for sequence modeling in natural language processing;however,their effectiveness critically depends on how positional information is encoded.Conventional positional encodings,while effective,may have limited structural flexibility for capturing complex global sequence relationships.Recent quantum-inspired approaches have sought to address this limitation,yetmany either oversimplify quantum principles or introduce substantial computational or hardware overhead.We introduce a novel Quantum Fourier Transform(QFT)-inspired positional encoding scheme for transformers,motivated by the structured frequency representation of the QFT.Unlike prior approaches that either emulate quantum operations superficially or require complex circuit constructions,the proposed method provides a learnable hybrid encoding that preserves quantuminspired structure while remaining aligned with hardware-efficient circuit primitives and structurally compatible with future near-term quantum implementations.Experiments on WikiText-103 indicate that the proposed encoding achieves competitive perplexity,improved robustness to input scrambling,and stable training behavior relative to alternative quantum-inspired baselines under the evaluated settings.Preliminary circuit-level simulations further suggest favorable noise resilience of the associated encoding primitives.These findings support the potential utility of incorporating quantum-inspired design principles into deep learning architectures and provide a foundation for future exploration at the interface of quantum computing and transformer-based natural language processing(NLP).
