However, for certain research topics, applying standard GIS techniques may create problems which require attention. This paper serves as a cautionary note to demonstrate two problems associated with applying GIS in spatial optimization, using a capacitated p-median facility location optimization problem as an example. The first problem involves errors in interpolating spatial variations of travel costs from using kriging, a common set of techniques for raster files. The second problem is inaccuracy in routing performed on a graph directly created from polyline shapefiles, a common vector file type. While revealing these problems, the paper also suggests remedies. Specifically, interpolation errors can be eliminated by using agent-based spatial modeling while the inaccuracy in routing can be improved through altering the graph topology by splitting the long edges of the shapefile. These issues suggest the need for caution in applying GIS in spatial optimization study.展开更多

The effects of preparation parameters(such as argon–oxygen flow ratio, sputtering power, sputtering time and annealing temperature)on the growth and properties(e.g., surface morphology, crystal structure, optical and electrical properties of the films) are studied by x-ray diffractometer(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer(UV-Vis). The results show that the thickness, crystallization quality and surface roughness of the β-Ga_(2)O_(3) film are influenced by those parameters. All β-Ga_(2)O_(3) films show good optical properties. Moreover, the value of bandgap increases with the enlarge of the percentage of oxygen increasing, and decreases with the increase of sputtering power and annealing temperature, indicating that the bandgap is related to the quality of the film and affected by the number of oxygen vacancy defects. The I–V curves show that the Ohmic behavior between metal and β-Ga_(2)O_(3) films is obtained at 900℃. Those results will be helpful for the further research of β-Ga_(2)O_(3) photoelectric semiconductor.展开更多

WISP-1 mRNA was detected by relative quantitative real-time RT-PCR and WISP-1 protein was examined by immunohistochemical staining.RESULTS: WISP-1 gene overexpression was found in 65% (56/86) primary rectal cancers, 2-30 times that of the level in normal matched rectal tissues (P = 0.001). The mRNA expression level was correlated with Duke's staging, histological differentiation grade and lymph node status. The WISP-1 protein expression was in accordance with mRNA expression level. The positive degree of immunohistochemical staining in the cancer group (1.40±0.35) was different from that in control group (1.04± 0.08, P 〈 0.001). Moreover, in cancer group the positive staining degree in high-level mRNA cancers (1.46 ±0.37, n = 56) was higher than that in low-level mRNA (1.28 ± 0.28, n = 30, P = 0.018).CONCLUSION: Aberrant levels of WISP-1 expression may play a role in rectal tumorigenesis. WISP-1 may be used as a specific clinical diagnosis and prognosis marker in rectal cancer.展开更多

文摘Zirconate-based dielectric ceramics are potential materials for base metal electrode multilayer ceramic capacitors(BME-MLCCs)due to their exceptional chemical and thermal stability,as well as excellent dielectric properties.In this work,(Sr_(0.7)Ca_(0.3))1.02(Zr_(0.95−x)Ti_(0.05)Mn_(x))O_(3)+δ(SCZTM,0≤x≤0.05)ceramics with two coexisting phases were prepared using a solidstate reaction method in a reducing atmosphere.This study investigates the impact of Mn doping on sintering temperature,microstructure,and electrical properties of SCZTM ceramics.Mn doping can reduce the sintering temperature from 1450 to 1300℃.The impact of Mn doping on the structure and phonon vibration is minimal,resulting in a negligible effect on the intrinsic loss.The valence states of Mn ions and defects were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and thermally stimulated depolarization current(TSDC)analysis.The results demonstrate the significant role of Mn doping in nonintrinsic loss.Due to the decrease in the concentration of oxygen vacancies(),SCZTM(x=0.01)ceramics exhibit attractive properties:resistivity(ρ)=8.93×10^(14)Ω·cm,dielectric constant(ε_(r))=36.16,dielectric loss(tanδ)=2.43×10^(–4),temperature dependence of dielectric constant(τ_(ε))=15.44 ppm/℃(@−55–200℃,1 MHz),Q×f=30,257 GHz(@6.12 GHz),and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(τf)=–9.9 ppm/℃.SCZTM(x=0.01)ceramic powders were used to successfully fabricate Ni-based multilayer ceramic capacitors(MLCCs)with a high insulation resistance of IR≥39.6 TΩ,an ultralow dielectric loss of tanδ=0.2×10^(–4),and a wide operating temperature range(temperature coefficient of capacitance(T_(cc))=10.88 ppm/℃,@−55–200℃,1 MHz).SCZTM ceramics exhibit properties that make them suitable for use as BMEMLCC materials with potential market applications.
文摘Spatial optimization as part of spatial modeling has been facilitated significantly by integration with GIS techniques. However, for certain research topics, applying standard GIS techniques may create problems which require attention. This paper serves as a cautionary note to demonstrate two problems associated with applying GIS in spatial optimization, using a capacitated p-median facility location optimization problem as an example. The first problem involves errors in interpolating spatial variations of travel costs from using kriging, a common set of techniques for raster files. The second problem is inaccuracy in routing performed on a graph directly created from polyline shapefiles, a common vector file type. While revealing these problems, the paper also suggests remedies. Specifically, interpolation errors can be eliminated by using agent-based spatial modeling while the inaccuracy in routing can be improved through altering the graph topology by splitting the long edges of the shapefile. These issues suggest the need for caution in applying GIS in spatial optimization study.

文摘The Ga_(2)O_(3) films are deposited on the Si and quartz substrates by magnetron sputtering, and annealing. The effects of preparation parameters(such as argon–oxygen flow ratio, sputtering power, sputtering time and annealing temperature)on the growth and properties(e.g., surface morphology, crystal structure, optical and electrical properties of the films) are studied by x-ray diffractometer(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer(UV-Vis). The results show that the thickness, crystallization quality and surface roughness of the β-Ga_(2)O_(3) film are influenced by those parameters. All β-Ga_(2)O_(3) films show good optical properties. Moreover, the value of bandgap increases with the enlarge of the percentage of oxygen increasing, and decreases with the increase of sputtering power and annealing temperature, indicating that the bandgap is related to the quality of the film and affected by the number of oxygen vacancy defects. The I–V curves show that the Ohmic behavior between metal and β-Ga_(2)O_(3) films is obtained at 900℃. Those results will be helpful for the further research of β-Ga_(2)O_(3) photoelectric semiconductor.

文摘2D MXene(Ti_(3)CNT_(x))has been considered as the most promising electrode material for flexible supercapacitors owing to its metallic conductivity,ultra-high capacitance,and excellent flexibility.However,it suffers from a severe restacking problem during the electrode fabrication process,limiting the ion transport kinetics and the accessibility of ions in the electrodes,especially in the direction normal to the electrode surface.Herein,we report a NH_(3)-induced in situ etching strategy to fabricate 3D-interconnected porous MXene/carbon dots(p-MC)films for high-performance flexible supercapacitor.The pre-intercalated carbon dots(CDs)first prevent the restacking of MXene to expose more inner electrochemical active sites.The partially decomposed CDs generate NH_(3)for in situ etching of MXene nanosheets toward 3D-interconnected p-MC films.Benefiting from the structural merits and the 3D-interconnected ionic transmission channels,p-MC film electrodes achieve excellent gravimetric capacitance(688.9 F g^(-1)at 2 A g^(-1))and superior rate capability.Moreover,the optimized p-MC electrode is assembled into an asymmetric solid-state flexible supercapacitor with high energy density and superior cycling stability,demonstrating the great promise of p-MC electrode for practical applications.

文摘Recently,multimodal sentiment analysis has increasingly attracted attention with the popularity of complementary data streams,which has great potential to surpass unimodal sentiment analysis.One challenge of multimodal sentiment analysis is how to design an efficient multimodal feature fusion strategy.Unfortunately,existing work always considers feature-level fusion or decision-level fusion,and few research works focus on hybrid fusion strategies that contain feature-level fusion and decision-level fusion.To improve the performance of multimodal sentiment analysis,we present a novel multimodal sentiment analysis model using BiGRU and attention-based hybrid fusion strategy(BAHFS).Firstly,we apply BiGRU to learn the unimodal features of text,audio and video.Then we fuse the unimodal features into bimodal features using the bimodal attention fusion module.Next,BAHFS feeds the unimodal features and bimodal features into the trimodal attention fusion module and the trimodal concatenation fusion module simultaneously to get two sets of trimodal features.Finally,BAHFS makes a classification with the two sets of trimodal features respectively and gets the final analysis results with decision-level fusion.Based on the CMU-MOSI and CMU-MOSEI datasets,extensive experiments have been carried out to verify BAHFS’s superiority.

文摘The study of the dynamic disaster mechanism of coal and gas outburst two-phase flow is crucial for improving disaster reduction and rescue ability of coal mine outburst accidents.An outburst test in a T-shaped roadway was conducted using a self-developed large-scale outburst dynamic disaster test system.We investigated the release characteristics of main energy sources in coal seam,and obtained the dynamic characteristics of outburst two-phase flow in a roadway.Additionally,we established a formation model for outburst impact flow and a model for its flow in a bifurcated structure.The results indicate that the outburst process exhibits pulse characteristics,and the rapid destruction process of coal seam and the blocking state of gas flow are the main causes of the pulse phenomenon.The outburst energy is released in stages,and the elastic potential energy is released in the vertical direction before the horizontal direction.In a straight roadway,the impact force oscillates along the roadway.With an increase in the solid–gas ratio,the two-phase flow impact force gradually increases,and the disaster range extends from the middle of the roadway to the coal seam.In the area near the coal seam,the disaster caused by the two-phase flow impact is characterized by intermittent recovery.In a bifurcated roadway,the effect of impact airflow on impact dynamic disaster is much higher than that of two-phase flow,and the impact force tends to weaken with increasing solid-gas ratio.The impact force is asymmetrically distributed;it is higher on the left of the bifurcated roadway.With an increase in the solid-gas ratio,the static pressure rapidly decreases,and the bifurcated structure accelerates the attenuation of static pressure.Moreover,secondary acceleration is observed when the shock wave moves along the T-shaped roadway,indicating that the bifurcated structure increases the shock wave velocity.

文摘Most current object-oriented programming courses offered by domestic colleges and universities generally focus on the object-oriented programming language itself,i.e.,the programming grammar of the language,but ignore the design pattern.However,design patterns are essential to software engineering because they can solve common problems in software design and improve code reuse,readability,extensibility,and reliability.Our Object-oriented Software Construction Course is creative since it aims at cultivating students’object-oriented thinking as well as basic abilities required to construct high-quality,object-oriented software.Specifically,we exploit the 5E teaching principle during the education of this course,and present the whole pipeline in the paper.We also provide one case of the factory pattern to further demonstrate the implementation of the 5E teaching principle in the course.The effect of the 5E teaching principle has also been demonstrated.

文摘The tectonic position of the southwest section of the Qinzhou Bay-Hangzhou Bay Tectonic Junction Zone(QHTJZ)can be determined by examining the Qinzhou-Fangcheng Junction Zone(QFJZ)in Guangxi.This zone is significant because it was the location of the largest earthquake ever recorded in the inland region of South China,specifically the 1936 Lingshan M6^(3/4)earthquake in Guangxi.Therefore,this region serves as an optimal location for researching the origins of intraplate earthquakes in South China.This study presents a display of a broadband magnetotelluric(MT)prospecting profile that traverses the Guangxi QFJZ and the Lingshan earthquake zone,extending from the northwest(NW)to the southeast(SE).A resistivity structure model was generated using three-dimensional(3D)inversion technology along the profile.The main faults in QFJZ were analyzed in terms of their deep extension forms and tectonic attributes.This analysis was performed by integrating the results obtained from geology,gravity,wave velocity ratio,Global Position System(GPS),and geothermal flow.The results showed that(1)the Dongzhong-Xiaodong fault(DXf),the eastern Fangcheng-Lingshan fault(FLf2),and the eastern Hepu-Beiliu fault(HBf2)were all trans-crustal deep faults,and crust-mantle ductile shear zones developed in the deep part.Two electrical boundary zones,DXf and HBf2,were identified.DXf inclined towards the northwest,while HBf2 inclined towards the southeast.The FangchengLingshan fault(FLf)exhibits a tectonic style resembling a“flower”shape in the upper crust.In the deeper section,it is characterized by an electrical boundary zone that gradually slopes towards the southeast direction.(2)The Hunan-Guangxi Passive Continental Margin(HGPCM)on the NW side of DXf had a stratified resistivity structure and relatively stable Bouguer gravity anomalies,which conformed to the quasi-craton tectonic attribute of the local failure at the southeastern margin of the Yangtze Block(YB).The southeastern side of this block is marked by the presence of the QFJZ and Yunkai Magmatic Arc(YKMA).These areas exhibit varying Bouguer gravity anomalies,indicating a combination of high and low resistivity in their electrical structures.This suggests that this zone has undergone multiple stages of structural evolution and transformation.The giant high-resistivity body under the Qinzhou-Fangcheng Remnant Ocean Basin(QFROB)might be the trace left by the extinction of the South China Ocean and the collision orogeny between YB and the Cathaysian Block(CB).The presence of sublow-resistivity layers in the middle-lower crust between the Liuwandashan Magmatic Arc(LMA)and YKMA indicates that this particular zone is being influenced from a distance by magmatic activities originating from the Leiqiong mantle.(3)The focal area of the 1936 Lingshan earthquake was located in the brittle high-resistivity body with a low strain rate.Under the coupling action of NWW-SEE regional tectonic stress and deep thermodynamic force,the brittle high-resistivity body in the upper crust became the main body for accumulating the tectonic stress.The Lingshan earthquake occurred due to the dextral strike-slip fracture instability of FLf2,a rock layer with slightly lower strength in the sub-high-resistivity zone.This instability was triggered when the accumulated stress reached the ultimate rock strength.The unveiling of the seismogenic model of the Lingshan earthquake,as presented in this study,holds significant scientific importance in comprehending the factors contributing to intraplate earthquakes in the South China region.

文摘AIM: To clarify the expression change of Wnt-induced secreted protein-1 (WISP-l) in human rectal cancer and to determine whether it is correlated with invasion and metastasis of human rectal cancer.METHODS: Eighty-six paired samples of rectal cancer and surgically resected distant normal rectal tissue were collected and allocated into cancer group and control group respectively. WISP-1 mRNA was detected by relative quantitative real-time RT-PCR and WISP-1 protein was examined by immunohistochemical staining.RESULTS: WISP-1 gene overexpression was found in 65% (56/86) primary rectal cancers, 2-30 times that of the level in normal matched rectal tissues (P = 0.001). The mRNA expression level was correlated with Duke's staging, histological differentiation grade and lymph node status. The WISP-1 protein expression was in accordance with mRNA expression level. The positive degree of immunohistochemical staining in the cancer group (1.40±0.35) was different from that in control group (1.04± 0.08, P 〈 0.001). Moreover, in cancer group the positive staining degree in high-level mRNA cancers (1.46 ±0.37, n = 56) was higher than that in low-level mRNA (1.28 ± 0.28, n = 30, P = 0.018).CONCLUSION: Aberrant levels of WISP-1 expression may play a role in rectal tumorigenesis. WISP-1 may be used as a specific clinical diagnosis and prognosis marker in rectal cancer.
