Here, model performances of this basic state are examined using simulation results from 26 CMIP6 models. Results show that the CMIP6 models underestimate the contrast in interhemispheric surface temperatures on average(0.8 K for CMIP6 mean versus 1.4 K for reanalysis data mean), and that there is a large intermodel spread, ranging from -0.7 K to 2.3 K. A box model energy budget analysis shows that the contrast in interhemispheric shortwave absorption at the top of the atmosphere, the contrast in interhemispheric greenhouse trapping, and the crossequatorial northward ocean heat transport, are all underestimated in the multimodel mean. By examining the intermodel spread, we find intermodel biases can be tracked back to biases in midlatitude shortwave cloud forcing in AGCMs. Models with a weaker interhemispheric temperature contrast underestimate the shortwave cloud reflection in the SH but overestimate the shortwave cloud reflection in the NH, which are respectively due to underestimation of the cloud fraction over the SH extratropical ocean and overestimation of the cloud liquid water content over the NH extratropical continents.Models that underestimate the interhemispheric temperature contrast exhibit larger double ITCZ biases, characterized by excessive precipitation in the SH tropics. Although this intermodel spread does not account for the multimodel ensemble mean biases, it highlights that improving cloud simulation in AGCMs is essential for simulating the climate realistically in coupled models.展开更多

One major type of evolutionary algorithm, genetic programming (GP), is useful for its high heuristic ability as a search method for obtaining suitable solutions expressed as tree structures. However, because GP determines the values of parameters such as coefficients by random values, it is difficult to apply in the inference of state equations that describe oscillatory biochemical reaction systems with high nonlinearity. Accordingly, in this study, we propose a new GP procedure called “k-step GP” intended for inferring the state equations of oscillatory biochemical reaction systems. The k-step GP procedure consists of two algorithms: 1) Parameter optimization using the modified Powell method—after genetic operations such as crossover and mutation, the values of parameters such as coefficients are optimized by applying the modified Powell method with secondary convergence. 2) GP using divided learning data—to improve the inference efficiency, imposes perturbations through the addition of learning data at various intervals and adaptations to these changes result in state equations with higher fitness. We are confident that k-step GP is an algorithm that is particularly well suited to inferring state equations for oscillatory biochemical reaction systems and contributes to solving inverse problems in systems biology.展开更多

First, a neural network(NN) identifier based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) is constructed to model the unknown system dynamics. By utilizing the estimated system states, the particle swarm optimized critic neural network(PSOCNN) is employed to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation(HJBE) more efficiently.Then, a data-based FTC scheme, which consists of the NN identifier and the fault compensator, is proposed to achieve actuator fault tolerance. The stability of the closed-loop system under actuator faults is guaranteed by the Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed method.展开更多

Findings: 1. Journals are clustered based on the node2 vec trained vectors to form a science map. 2. The norm of the vector can be seen as an indicator of the diversity of journals. 3. Using node2 vec trained journal vectors to determine the Rao-Stirling diversity measure leads to a better measure of diversity than that of direct citation vectors.Research limitations: All analyses use citation data and only focus on the journal level.Practical implications: Node2 vec trained journal vectors embed rich information about journals, can be used to form a science map and may generate better values of journal diversity measures.Originality/value: The effectiveness of node2 vec in scientometric analysis is tested. Possible indicators for journal diversity measure are presented.展开更多

文摘Living systems are full of astonishing diversity and complexity of life.Despite differences in the length scales and cognitive abilities of these systems,collective motion of large groups of individuals can emerge.It is of great importance to seek for the fundamental principles of collective motion,such as phase transitions and their natures.Via an eigen microstate approach,we have found a discontinuous transition of density and a continuous transition of velocity in the Vicsek models of collective motion,which are identified by the finite-size scaling form of order-parameter.At strong noise,living systems behave like gas.With the decrease of noise,the interactions between the particles of a living system become stronger and make them come closer.The living system experiences then a discontinuous gas-liquid like transition of density.The even stronger interactions at smaller noise make the velocity directions of the particles become ordered and there is a continuous phase transition of collective motion in addition.
文摘Systems biology requires the development of algorithms that use omics data to infer interaction networks among biomolecules working within an organism. One major type of evolutionary algorithm, genetic programming (GP), is useful for its high heuristic ability as a search method for obtaining suitable solutions expressed as tree structures. However, because GP determines the values of parameters such as coefficients by random values, it is difficult to apply in the inference of state equations that describe oscillatory biochemical reaction systems with high nonlinearity. Accordingly, in this study, we propose a new GP procedure called “k-step GP” intended for inferring the state equations of oscillatory biochemical reaction systems. The k-step GP procedure consists of two algorithms: 1) Parameter optimization using the modified Powell method—after genetic operations such as crossover and mutation, the values of parameters such as coefficients are optimized by applying the modified Powell method with secondary convergence. 2) GP using divided learning data—to improve the inference efficiency, imposes perturbations through the addition of learning data at various intervals and adaptations to these changes result in state equations with higher fitness. We are confident that k-step GP is an algorithm that is particularly well suited to inferring state equations for oscillatory biochemical reaction systems and contributes to solving inverse problems in systems biology.

文摘In this review,instead of summarizing all the advances and progress achieved in stratospheric research,the main advances and new developments in stratosphere-troposphere coupling and stratospheric chemistry-climate interactions are summarized,and some outstanding issues and grand challenges are discussed.A consensus has been reached that the stratospheric state is an important source of improving the predictability of the troposphere on sub-seasonal to seasonal(S2S)time scales and beyond.However,applying stratospheric signals in operational S2S forecast models remains a challenge because of model deficiencies and the complexities of the underlying mechanisms of stratosphere-troposphere coupling.Stratospheric chemistry,which controls the magnitude and distribution of many important climate-forcing agents,plays a critical role in global climate change.Convincing evidence has been found that stratospheric ozone depletion and recovery have caused significant tropospheric climate changes,and more recent studies have revealed that stratospheric ozone variations can even exert an impact on SSTs and sea ice.The climatic impacts of stratospheric aerosols and water vapor are also important.Although their quantitative contributions to radiative forcing have been reasonably well quantified,there still exist large uncertainties in their long-term impacts on climate.The advances and new levels of understanding presented in this review suggest that whole-atmosphere interactions need to be considered in future for a better and more thorough understanding of stratosphere-troposphere coupling and its role in climate change.

文摘Breast cancer is a malignant disease that seriously threatens women's health.Studying the mechanism of cancer occurrence and development is an urgent problem to be solved.In this paper,the eigen-microstate method was used to study conversion of normal breast cells into breast cancer cells and the reason.The main conclusions are as follows:the microstates of normal breast cell and breast cancer cell are different.There is a state conversion when a normal breast cell transforms into a breast cancer cell.The main reason for this state conversion is the combined effect of tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes.By analyzing the function of key genes,it was found that these genes do play an important role in the development of breast cancer.The findings contribute to understanding the mechanism by which breast cancer occurs and progresses,and key genes can serve as potential biomarkers or target genes for breast cancer treatment.

文摘We investigate the two-mode quantum Rabi model(QRM)describing the interaction between a two-level atom and a two-mode cavity field.The quantum phase transitions are found when the ratioηof transition frequency of atom to frequency of cavity field approaches infinity.We apply the Schrieffer–Wolff(SW)transformation to derive the low-energy effective Hamiltonian of the two-mode QRM,thus yielding the critical point and rich phase diagram of quantum phase transitions.The phase diagram consists of four regions:a normal phase,an electric superradiant phase,a magnetic superradiant phase and an electromagnetic superradiant phase.The quantum phase transition between the normal phase and the electric(magnetic)superradiant phase is of second order and associates with the breaking of the discrete Z_(2) symmetry.On the other hand,the phase transition between the electric superradiant phase and the magnetic superradiant phase is of first order and relates to the breaking of the continuous U(1)symmetry.Several important physical quantities,for example the excitation energy and average photon number in the four phases,are derived.We find that the excitation spectra exhibit the Nambu–Goldstone mode.We calculate analytically the higher-order correction and finite-frequency exponents of relevant quantities.To confirm the validity of the low-energy effective Hamiltonians analytically derived by us,the finite-frequency scaling relation of the averaged photon numbers is calculated by numerically diagonalizing the two-mode quantum Rabi Hamiltonian.

文摘In today’s society,there is a wide demand for high-precision and high-stability time service in the fields of electric power,communication,transportation and finance.At present,the time standard in various countries is mainly based on atomic clocks,but the frequency drift of atomic clocks will affect the long-term stability performance.Compared with atomic clocks,millisecond pulsars have better long-term stability and can complement with the excellent short-term stability of atomic clocks.In order to improve the long-term stability of the atomic timescale,and then improve the timing accuracy,this paper proposes an algorithm for steering the atomic clock ensemble(ACE)by ensemble pulsar time(EPT)based on digital phase locked loop(DPLL).First,the ACE and EPT are generated by the ALGOS algorithm,then the ACE is steered by EPT based on DPLL to calibrate the long-term frequency drift of the atomic clock,so that the generated steered atomic time follows both the short-term stability characteristics of ACE and the long-term stability characteristics of EPT,and finally,the steered atomic time is used to calibrate the local cesium clock.The experimental results show that the long-term stability of atomic time after steering is improved by 2 orders of magnitude compared with that before steering,and the daily drift of a local cesium clock after calibration is less than 9.47 ns in 3 yr,3 orders of magnitude higher than that before calibration on accuracy.

文摘In this paper, a data-based fault tolerant control(FTC) scheme is investigated for unknown continuous-time(CT)affine nonlinear systems with actuator faults. First, a neural network(NN) identifier based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) is constructed to model the unknown system dynamics. By utilizing the estimated system states, the particle swarm optimized critic neural network(PSOCNN) is employed to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation(HJBE) more efficiently.Then, a data-based FTC scheme, which consists of the NN identifier and the fault compensator, is proposed to achieve actuator fault tolerance. The stability of the closed-loop system under actuator faults is guaranteed by the Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed method.

文摘Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of using node2 vec on journal citation networks to represent journals as vectors for tasks such as clustering, science mapping, and journal diversity measure.Design/methodology/approach: Node2 vec is used in a journal citation network to generate journal vector representations. Findings: 1. Journals are clustered based on the node2 vec trained vectors to form a science map. 2. The norm of the vector can be seen as an indicator of the diversity of journals. 3. Using node2 vec trained journal vectors to determine the Rao-Stirling diversity measure leads to a better measure of diversity than that of direct citation vectors.Research limitations: All analyses use citation data and only focus on the journal level.Practical implications: Node2 vec trained journal vectors embed rich information about journals, can be used to form a science map and may generate better values of journal diversity measures.Originality/value: The effectiveness of node2 vec in scientometric analysis is tested. Possible indicators for journal diversity measure are presented.

文摘In this paper,we present an optimal neuro-control scheme for continuous-time(CT)nonlinear systems with asymmetric input constraints.Initially,we introduce a discounted cost function for the CT nonlinear systems in order to handle the asymmetric input constraints.Then,we develop a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation(HJBE),which arises in the discounted cost optimal control problem.To obtain the optimal neurocontroller,we utilize a critic neural network(CNN)to solve the HJBE under the framework of reinforcement learning.The CNN's weight vector is tuned via the gradient descent approach.Based on the Lyapunov method,we prove that uniform ultimate boundedness of the CNN's weight vector and the closed-loop system is guaranteed.Finally,we verify the effectiveness of the present optimal neuro-control strategy through performing simulations of two examples.

文摘We propose a renormalization group(RG)theory of eigen microstates,which are introduced in the statistical ensemble composed of microstates obtained from experiments or computer simulations.A microstate in the ensemble can be considered as a linear superposition of eigen microstates with probability amplitudes equal to their eigenvalues.Under the renormalization of a factor b,the largest eigenvalueσ1 has two trivial fixed points at low and high temperature limits and a critical fixed point with the RG relationσb1=bβ/νσ1,whereβandνare the critical exponents of order parameter and correlation length,respectively.With the Ising model in different dimensions,it has been demonstrated that the RG theory of eigen microstates is able to identify the critical point and to predict critical exponents and the universality class.Our theory can be used in research of critical phenomena both in equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems without considering the Hamiltonian,which is the foundation of Wilson’s RG theory and is absent for most complex systems.

文摘A network is a set of nodes connected via edges,with possibly directions and weights on the edges.Sometimes,in a multi-layer network,the nodes can also be heterogeneous.In this perspective,based on previous studies,we argue that networks can be regarded as the infrastructure of scientometrics in the sense that networks can be used to represent scientometric data.Then the task of answering various scientometric questions related to this data becomes an algorithmic problem in the corresponding network.
