However, the response of global black carbon(BC) aging to emission changes remains unclear. Using the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 with a machine-learning-integrated four-mode version of the Modal Aerosol Module, we quantify global BC aging responses to emission reductions for 2011–2018 and for 2050 and 2100 under carbon neutrality. During 2011–18, global trends in BC aging degree(mass ratio of coatings to BC, RBC) exhibited marked regional disparities, with a significant increase in China(5.4% yr-1), which contrasts with minimal changes in the USA, Europe, and India. The divergence is attributed to opposing trends in secondary organic aerosol(SOA) and sulfate coatings, driven by regional changes in the emission ratios of corresponding coating precursors to BC(volatile organic compounds-VOCs/BC and SO2/BC). Projections under carbon neutrality reveal that RBC will increase globally by 47%(118%) in 2050(2100), with strong convergent increases expected across major source regions. The RBC increase, primarily driven by enhanced SOA coatings due to sharper BC reductions relative to VOCs, will enhance the global BC mass absorption cross-section(MAC) by 11%(17%) in 2050(2100).Consequently, although the global BC burden will decline sharply by 60%(76%), the enhanced MAC partially offsets the magnitude of the decline in the BC direct radiative effect, resulting in the moderation of global BC DRE decreases to 88%(92%) of the BC burden reductions in 2050(2100). This study highlights the globally enhanced BC aging and light absorption capacity under carbon neutrality, thereby partly offsetting the impact of BC direct emission reductions on future changes in BC radiative effects globally.展开更多

摘要Accurate rapeseed yield and biomass estimation at the meter scale prior to harvest is crucial for precision harvesting.However,there is a scarcity of structured research on the estimation of rapeseed biomass yield.This study aims to address this gap by focusing on rapeseed in Jiangsu Province.Multispectral and RGB images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)were taken during key growth stages(budding,flowering,and podding stages).Using the extracted multidimensional features,we developed biomass-yield estimation models using four machine learning techniques.Subsequently,we employed ensemble learning with multidimensional,multi-stage data and used Shapley additive explanation(SHAP)for feature contribution analysis,thereby constructing a framework for predicting rapeseed harvest characteristics with high estimation accuracy and interpretability.Our analysis indicates that spectral‒texture is the most effective feature combination for biomass estimation,whereas the optimal combination for yield estimation includes three-dimensional(3D)spectral‒textural‒structural features.The synergy of these features,coupled with an ensemble learning model,significantly enhanced the accuracy of rapeseed biomass-yield estimation(biomass:coefficient of determination(R2)=0.72,relative root mean square error(rRMSE)=14.35%;yield:R2=0.68,rRMSE=13.67%).The proposed model also achieved stable prediction results across the variety‒density interaction.Overall,this study presents an accurate and generalizable approach for estimating rapeseed biomass yield across various planting patterns,offering new insights for precision harvesting.

摘要Countries around the world have been making efforts to reduce pollutant emissions. However, the response of global black carbon(BC) aging to emission changes remains unclear. Using the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 with a machine-learning-integrated four-mode version of the Modal Aerosol Module, we quantify global BC aging responses to emission reductions for 2011–2018 and for 2050 and 2100 under carbon neutrality. During 2011–18, global trends in BC aging degree(mass ratio of coatings to BC, RBC) exhibited marked regional disparities, with a significant increase in China(5.4% yr-1), which contrasts with minimal changes in the USA, Europe, and India. The divergence is attributed to opposing trends in secondary organic aerosol(SOA) and sulfate coatings, driven by regional changes in the emission ratios of corresponding coating precursors to BC(volatile organic compounds-VOCs/BC and SO2/BC). Projections under carbon neutrality reveal that RBC will increase globally by 47%(118%) in 2050(2100), with strong convergent increases expected across major source regions. The RBC increase, primarily driven by enhanced SOA coatings due to sharper BC reductions relative to VOCs, will enhance the global BC mass absorption cross-section(MAC) by 11%(17%) in 2050(2100).Consequently, although the global BC burden will decline sharply by 60%(76%), the enhanced MAC partially offsets the magnitude of the decline in the BC direct radiative effect, resulting in the moderation of global BC DRE decreases to 88%(92%) of the BC burden reductions in 2050(2100). This study highlights the globally enhanced BC aging and light absorption capacity under carbon neutrality, thereby partly offsetting the impact of BC direct emission reductions on future changes in BC radiative effects globally.

摘要Accurate quantification of crop residue cover(CRC)is crucial for monitoring and evaluating conservation tillage practices,yet it poses a significant image segmentation challenge.The subtle visual distinctions between fragmented residue and soil,compounded by variable illumination and shadows in field imagery,often lead to poor segmentation performance.To overcome these limitations,we introduce RCTUnet,a novel deep learning architecture designed for robust crop-residue-soil segmentation and precise CRC estimation.RCTUnet’s architecture synergistically integrates three key components:(1)a ResNet50 backbone for deep,multi-scale feature extraction;(2)a convolutional block attention module(CBAM)to adaptively focus on salient residue features across both channel and spatial dimensions;and(3)a transformer-based global context fusion module(GCFM)to model long-range spatial dependencies,which is critical for interpreting heterogeneous residue patterns.We evaluated RCTUnet on a dataset of 1220 field-acquired images spanning four typical crop rotations.Experimental results show that,compared to traditional models:(1)RCTUnet achieves significantly higher crop-residue-soil segmentation accuracy than classic models including Unet,Unet++,DeepLabV3,segmentation network(SegNet),and fully convolutional network(FCN),with improvements of 3.24%,3.42%,4.88%,8.28%,and 6.05%in overall accuracy,respectively;(2)RCTUnet yields superior residue-soil segmentation performance,with increases in residue recall of 7.67%,7.37%,14.09%,27.05%,and 16.91%,respectively;(3)RCTUnet shows enhanced CRC estimation accuracy,achieving a root mean square error(RMSE)of 4.875,representing a 45.5%improvement over Unet(RMSE=8.941).These results demonstrate the efficacy of our hybrid approach,which combines deep hierarchical features,dual-domain attention,and global context modeling.RCTUnet provides a robust and reliable tool for automated CRC assessment,advancing the capabilities of in-field agricultural monitoring.

摘要Underground engineering projects such as deep tunnel excavation often encounter rockburst disasters accompanied by numerous microseismic events.Rapid interpretation of microseismic signals is crucial for the timely identification of rockbursts.However,conventional processing encompasses multi-step workflows,including classification,denoising,picking,locating,and computational analysis,coupled with manual intervention,which collectively compromise the reliability of early warnings.To address these challenges,this study innovatively proposes the“microseismic stethoscope"-a multi-task machine learning and deep learning model designed for the automated processing of massive microseismic signals.This model efficiently extracts three key parameters that are necessary for recognizing rockburst disasters:rupture location,microseismic energy,and moment magnitude.Specifically,the model extracts raw waveform features from three dedicated sub-networks:a classifier for source zone classification,and two regressors for microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation.This model demonstrates superior efficiency compared to traditional processing and semi-automated processing,reducing per-event processing time from 0.71 s to 0.49 s to merely 0.036 s.It concurrently achieves 98%accuracy in source zone classification,with microseismic energy and moment magnitude estimation errors of 0.13 and 0.05,respectively.This model has been well applied and validated in the Daxiagu Tunnel case in Sichuan,China.The application results indicate that the model is as accurate as traditional methods in determining source parameters,and thus can be used to identify potential geomechanical processes of rockburst disasters.By enhancing the signal processing reliability of microseismic events,the proposed model in this study presents a significant advancement in the identification of rockburst disasters.

摘要Soil liquefaction under strong earthquakes is the primary cause of damage to foundations and superstructures.Predicting the potential for seismic-induced soil liquefaction is key to preventing related disasters.This study compares four machine learning(ML)models for soil liquefaction potential based on cone penetration test datasets:decision tree,random forest,gradient boosting,and extreme gradient boosting.The database was collected from previously published research and includes information on earthquake moment magnitude,peak ground acceleration,depth of soil layer,total vertical stresses,effective vertical stresses,and cone tip stresses.The predictive capabilities of the developed models were evaluated using overall accuracy,precision,recall,F-measure,and receiver operating characteristic curves.The results showed that the extreme gradient boosting model exhibited the highest efficacy.A subsequent analysis of feature importance demonstrated that cone tip stresses exerted the most significant influence on soil liquefaction potential.In a final comparative assessment with conventional liquefaction discrimination theory methods,the study revealed that the Robertson method yielded a higher success rate for liquefaction cases,the Olsen method was more successful in non-liquefaction cases,and the ML approach manifested superior success rates in both liquefaction and non-liquefaction cases.

摘要To address the complexities associated with forecasting low-probability,low-visibility fog events and the underlying nonlinear interdependencies among various influencing variables,we present an attention mechanism-em-bedded long short-term memory(ATT-LSTM)deep learning model for sea fog visibility hazard prediction.This archi-tecture seamlessly incorporates ATT into the conventional LSTM neural network framework.This integration enables the model to adaptively assign weights to the input features,thereby distinguishing between salient and non-salient variables.This targeted allocation enhances the contribution of considerable factors within the LSTM forecasting algorithm,opti-mizes input data,and assigns varying levels of attention to each variable.Consequently,the model substantially mitigates prediction errors in multivariate scenarios.An empirical analysis employing an independent dataset encompassing 303 foggy days over a biennial period confirmed the superior performance of the proposed ATT-LSTM model.Comparative evaluations with LSTM,logistic classification regression,and support vector machine classification regression models revealed that the ATT-LSTM model achieved a recall rate of 37%,a precision rate of 48%,an accuracy rate of 91%,and a threat score(TS)of 0.26.Among the assessed methodologies,the ATT-LSTM model outperformed the others in terms of recall,accuracy,and TS metrics.These findings confirm that the ATT-LSTM model offers a potent and innovative deep learning approach for enhancing the accuracy of low-visibility sea fog hazard predictions.

摘要Lightweight refractory high-entropy alloys(LRHEAs)represent an emerging class of structural materials that integrate low density with exceptional strength and outstanding high-temperature stability,positioning them as promising candidates for aerospace and advanced industrial applications.Nevertheless,the design of LRHEAs is challenged by their vast compositional space,complex multi-objective performance trade-offs,and the inefficiency of conventional trial-and-error experimental approaches.In recent years,machine learning(ML)has emerged as a transformative tool in this domain,offering the capacity to analyze high-dimensional datasets and uncover hidden correlations between composition,processing,microstructure,and properties.This review systematically examines both conventional design strategies-including empirical parameters,phase diagram calculations,and first-principles simulations-and the emerging ML-aided design framework,with a focus on bridging traditional knowledge and data-driven methodologies.We critically survey recent advances in ML applications across three key areas:compositional optimization,mechanistic interpretation,and atomic-scale simulation.Target-driven ML models facilitate efficient navigation of the alloy design space,while interpretable algorithms integrated with atomic simulations provide fundamental insights into strengthening and toughening mechanisms.The review concludes by summarizing current achievements and identifying persistent challenges related to data scarcity,model transferability,and physical interpretability.Looking forward,we envision that a deeper integration of high-throughput experiments,multi-scale simulations,and artificial intelligence will establish a robust,systematic,and accelerated design paradigm for next-generation LRHEAs.

摘要Formation Tracking(FT)control is aimed at handling cooperative tasks in Multi-A gent Systems(MASs)to achieve desired performance.In these tasks,the leader's input is generally nonzero and unknown to all followers,i.e.,its trajectory can be arbitrary and non-repetitive.In this paper,the additive property of linear systems is exploited to develop a unified framework for FT tasks of MASs,consisting of Adaptive Observer-based Control(AOC)and Iterative Learning Control(ILC).An AOC controller is employed to guarantee a fixed-shape formation between the leader and followers during the whole process,which reserves the initial condition for ILC.And ILC is used to improve the FT performance of certain repetitive tasks(followers rotating around the leader)over the trials.This gives rise to a fully distributed algorithm working for a directed communication graph containing a spanning tree without requiring any eigenvalue information from the Laplacian matrix of the graph,which enables its application to MASs with a large number of agents.Comparison is made via a numerical simulation to show that the proposed combined AOC-ILC algorithm has less FT error than pure AOC(without ILC),which validates the feasibility and efficacy of this algorithm.

摘要Machine learning(ML)is recognized as a potent tool for the inverse design of environmental functional material,particularly for complex entities like biochar-based catalysts(BCs).Thus,the tailored BCs can have a distinct ability to trigger the nonradical pathway in advance oxidation processes(AOPs),promising a stable,rapid and selective degradation of persistent contaminants.However,due to the inherent“black box”nature and limitations of input features,results and conclusions derived from ML may not always be intuitively understood or comprehensively validated.To tackle this challenge,we linked the front-point interpretable analysis approaches with back-point density functional theory(DFT)calculations to form a chained learning strategy for deeper sight into the intrinsic activation mechanism of BCs in AOPs.At the front point,we conducted an easy-to-interpret meta-analysis to validate two strategies for enhancing nonradical pathways by increasing oxygen content and specific surface area(SSA),and prepared oxidized biochar(OBC500)and SSA-increased biochar(SBC900)by controlling pyrolysis conditions and modification methods.Subsequently,experimental results showed that OBC500 and SBC900 had distinct dominant degradation pathways for 1O2 generation and electron transfer,respectively.Finally,at the end point,DFT calculations revealed their active sites and degradation mechanisms.This chained learning strategy elucidates fundamental principles for BC inverse design and showcases the exceptional capacity to integrate computational techniques to accelerate catalyst inverse design.
