In this paper, the LAA images-oriented tensor decomposition and knowledge distillation-based network(TDKD-Net) is proposed,where the TT-format TD(tensor decomposition) and equalweighted response-based KD(knowledge distillation) methods are designed to minimize redundant parameters while ensuring comparable performance. Moreover, some robust network structures are developed, including the small object detection head and the dual-domain attention mechanism, which enable the model to leverage the learned knowledge from small-scale targets and selectively focus on salient features. Considering the imbalance of bounding box regression samples and the inaccuracy of regression geometric factors, the focal and efficient IoU(intersection of union) loss with optimal transport assignment(F-EIoU-OTA)mechanism is proposed to improve the detection accuracy. The proposed TDKD-Net is comprehensively evaluated through extensive experiments, and the results have demonstrated the effectiveness and superiority of the developed methods in comparison to other advanced detection algorithms, which also present high generalization and strong robustness. As a resource-efficient precise network, the complex detection of small and occluded LAA objects is also well addressed by TDKD-Net, which provides useful insights on handling imbalanced issues and realizing domain adaptation.展开更多

文摘Terrestrial ecosystem water use efficiency(WUE)is an important indicator for coupling plant photosynthesis and transpiration,and is also a key factor linking the carbon and water cycles between the land and atmosphere.However,under the combination of climate change and human intervention,the change in WUE is still unclear,especially on the Tibetan Plateau(TP).Therefore,satellite remote sensing data and process-based terrestrial biosphere models(TBMs)are used in this study to investigate the spatiotemporal variations of WUE over the TP from 2001 to 2010.Then,the effects of land use and land cover change(LULCC)and CO_(2) fertilization on WUE from 1981-2010 are assessed using TBMs.Results show that climate change is the leading contributor to the change in WUE on the TP,and temperature is the most important factor.LULCC makes a negative contribution to WUE(-20.63%),which is greater than the positive contribution of CO_(2) fertilization(11.65%).In addition,CO_(2) fertilization can effectively improve ecosystem resilience on the TP.On the northwest plateau,the effects of LULCC and CO_(2) fertilization on WUE are more pronounced during the driest years than the annual average.These findings can help researchers understand the response of WUE to climate change and human activity and the coupling of the carbon and water cycles over the TP.

文摘High-dimensional and incomplete(HDI)data subject to the nonnegativity constraints are commonly encountered in a big data-related application concerning the interactions among numerous nodes.A nonnegative latent factor analysis(NLFA)model can perform representation learning to HDI data efficiently.However,existing NLFA models suffer from either slow convergence rate or representation accuracy loss.To address this issue,this paper proposes a proximal alternating-directionmethod-of-multipliers-based nonnegative latent factor analysis(PAN)model with two-fold ideas:(1)adopting the principle of alternating-direction-method-of-multipliers to implement an efficient learning scheme for fast convergence and high computational efficiency;and(2)incorporating the proximal regularization into the learning scheme to suppress the optimization fluctuation for high representation learning accuracy to HDI data.Theoretical studies verify that PAN converges to a Karush-KuhnTucker(KKT)stationary point of its nonnegativity-constrained learning objective with its learning scheme.Experimental results on eight HDI matrices from real applications demonstrate that the proposed PAN model outperforms several state-of-the-art models in both estimation accuracy for missing data of an HDI matrix and computational efficiency.

文摘The semi-blind deconvolution algorithm improves the separation accuracy by introducing reference information.However,the separation performance depends largely on the construction of reference signals.To improve the robustness of the semi-blind deconvolution algorithm to the reference signals and the convergence speed,the reference-based cubic blind deconvolution algorithm is proposed in this paper.The proposed algorithm can be combined with the contribution evaluation to provide trustworthy guidance for suppressing satellite micro-vibration.The normalized reference-based cubic contrast function is proposed and the validity of the new contrast function is theoretically proved.By deriving the optimal step size of gradient iteration under the new contrast function,we propose an efficient adaptive step optimization method.Furthermore,the contribution evaluation method based on vector projection is presented to implement the source contribution evaluation.Numerical simulation analysis is carried out to validate the availability and superiority of this method.Further tests given by the simulated satellite experiment and satellite ground experiment also confirm the effectiveness.The signals of control moment gyroscope and flywheel were extracted,respectively,and the contribution evaluation of vibration sources to the sensitive load area was realized.This research proposes a more accurate and robust algorithm for the source separation and provides an effective tool for the quantitative identification of the mechanical vibration sources.

文摘Spatial and temporal distribution of abundance,community structure and succession,and mortality of zooplankton were examined in a subtropical bay—the Qinzhou Bay,Guangxi,South China,to evaluate the impact of oyster culture on zooplankton.Data on zooplankton abundance,phytoplankton biomass,and environmental parameters were collected in 12 routine samplings at four sites in the Qinzhou Bay in 2018.Results show that the hydrological environment in the estuary affected the temporal variation of zooplankton of the Qinzhou Bay.However,the oyster culture affected the spatial distributions of zooplankton.The abundance of zooplankton outside the oyster farm was higher than that inside,whereas the mortality outside the oyster farm,on the contrary,was lower than that inside.Oyster culture in the Qinzhou Bay had built a significant impact on the abundance and community composition of zooplankton,and the food shortage caused by the ingestion of oyster might exacerbate the mortality of zooplankton in the Qinzhou Bay.In addition,the large-scale oyster culture increased the spatial heterogeneity of the community structure of zooplankton inside and outside the oyster farms.Findings of this study provide a reference for future policy-making in aquaculture management.

文摘BACKGROUND The small intestine is known to play a crucial role in the development and remission of diabetes mellitus(DM).However,the exact mechanism by which mid-small intestinal bypass improves glucose metabolism in diabetic rats is not fully understood.AIM To elucidate the mechanisms by which mid-small intestinal bypass improves glucose metabolism.METHODS Streptozotocin(STZ)was used to induce DM in Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats at a dose of 60 mg/kg.The rats were then randomly divided into two groups:The mid-small intestine bypass(MSIB)group and the sham group(underwent switch laparotomy).Following a 6-wk recovery period post-surgery,the rats underwent various assessments,including metabolic parameter testing,analysis of liver glycogen levels,measurement of key gluconeogenic enzyme activity,characterization of the gut microbiota composition,evaluation of hormone levels,determination of bile acid concentrations,and assessment of the expression of the intestinal receptors Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 and farnesoid X receptor.RESULTS The MSIB group of rats demonstrated improved glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism,along with increased hepatic glycogen content.Furthermore,there was a decrease in the expression of the key gluconeogenic enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 and glucose-6-phosphatase.Importantly,the MSIB group exhibited a substantial increase in the abundances of intestinal Lactobacillus,Clostridium symbiosum,Ruminococcus gnavus,and Bilophila.Moreover,higher levels of secondary bile acids,such as intestinal lithocholic acid,were observed in this group.Remarkably,the changes in the gut microbiota showed a significant correlation with the expression of key gluconeogenic enzymes and glucagon-like peptide 1(GLP-1)at 6 wk postoperatively,highlighting their potential role in glucose regulation.These findings highlight the beneficial effects of mid-small intestine bypass on glucose metabolism and the associated modulation of the gut microbiota.CONCLUSION The findings of this study demonstrate that the introduction of postoperative intestinal Clostridium symbiosum in the mid-small intestine contributes to the enhancement of glucose metabolism in nonobese diabetic rats.This improvement is attributed to the increased inhibition of hepatic gluconeogenesis mediated by GLP-1,resulting in a favorable modulation of glucose homeostasis.

文摘Hydrostatic pressure provides an efficient way to tune and optimize the properties of solid materials without chang-ing their composition.In this work,we investigate the electronic,optical,and mechanical properties of antiperovskite X_(3)NP(X^(2+)=Ca,Mg)upon compression by first-principles calculations.Our results reveal that the system is anisotropic,and the lat-tice constant a of X_(3)NP exhibits the fastest rate of decrease upon compression among the three directions,which is different from the typical Pnma phase of halide and chalcogenide perovskites.Meanwhile,Ca_(3)NP has higher compressibility than Mg_(3)NP due to its small bulk modulus.The electronic and optical properties of Mg_(3)NP show small fluctuations upon compression,but those of Ca_(3)NP are more sensitive to pressure due to its higher compressibility and lower unoccupied 3d orbital energy.For example,the band gap,lattice dielectric constant,and exciton binding energy of Ca_(3)NP decrease rapidly as the pressure increases.In addition,the increase in pressure significantly improves the optical absorption and theoretical conversion effi-ciency of Ca_(3)NP.Finally,the mechanical properties of X_(3)NP are also increased upon compression due to the reduction in bond length,while inducing a brittle-to-ductile transition.Our research provides theoretical guidance and insights for future experi-mental tuning of the physical properties of antiperovskite semiconductors by pressure.
文摘Osimertinib,a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor(EGFR-TKIs),is approved globally as the first-line treatment for patients with EGFR mutations(EGFRm:Ex19del/L858R)and T790M resistance mutations in advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).[1−3]With its widespread use,the cardiotoxicity of osimertinib has been of great concern.According to the U.S.Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System(FAERS),the main cardiac-related adverse events with EGFR-TKIs are heart failure,QT prolongation,atrial fibrillation,acute myocardial infarction and pericardial effusion,and osimertinib has a higher incidence of QT prolongation,heart failure and atrial fibrillation than other EGFR-TKIs.
文摘Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSw-NP)is a multifactorial and heterogeneous disorder of the sinonasal mucosa,characterized by a high relapse rate after medical and surgical treatments[1].Endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS)is the preferred treatment for CRSwNP in patients who have failed to respond to medical therapy[2].However,the postoperative complications will impair the recovery of patients,and accompanying post-operative outpatient visits may contribute to patient discomfort[3]Suppressing postoperative mucosa edema and improving mucosa recovery is critical to reducing the disease relapse after ESS.The steroid-eluting sinus stent(SESS)represents a promising emerging therapy for CRSwNP.
