Twenty-two soil samples were taken from 11 main tobacco-growing areas in Guizhou Province in China and the soil water characteristic curves (SWCC) and basic physical and chemical properties of the soil samples were determined. The results show that: (1) The soil bulk density, soil total porosity and soil capillary porosity have significant effects on SWC of tobacco fiels. Bulk density and total porosity are positively correlated with soil water retention characteristics (SWRC), and soil capillary porosity is positively correlated with soil water supply characteristics (SWSC). (2) Soil samples from different soil layers at the same soil sampling point show similarity or consistency in SWC. Inadequate soil water supply capability and imbalance between SWRC and SWSC are problems of tobacco soil. (3) The SWC of loamy clay are generally superior to those of silty clay loam.展开更多

The main analysis is carried out through the software SPSS with the data on the level of towns and townships in 1992. The results indicate that landuse structure is determined by comprehensive action of different factors. Landuse structure with rural characteristics is mainly determined by geographical factors such as the elevation, temperature and precipitation, while the landuse structure with urban characteristics is mainly determined by demographic and socioeconomic conditions.

However, classical CCA is unsupervised and does not take discriminant information into account. In this paper, we add discriminant information into CCA by using random cross- view correlations between within-class samples and propose a new method for multi-view dimensionality reduction called canonical random correlation analysis (RCA). In RCA, two approaches for randomly generating cross-view correlation samples are developed on the basis of bootstrap technique. Furthermore, kernel RCA (KRCA) is proposed to extract nonlinear correlations between different views. Experiments on several multi-view data sets show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.展开更多

The former is the Duck site in North Carolina, on the east coast of the USA, which is exposed to Atlantic Ocean swells and storm waves, and the latter is the Milford-on-Sea site at Christchurch Bay, on the south coast of England, which is partially sheltered from Atlantic swells but has a directionally bimodal wave exposure. The data sets comprise detailed bathymetric surveys of beach profiles covering a period of more than 25 years for the Duck site and over 18 years for the Milford-on-Sea site. The structure of the data sets and the data-driven methods are described. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) was used to find linkages between the wave characteristics and beach profiles. The sensitivity of the linkages was investigated by deploying a wave height threshold to filter out the smaller waves incrementally. The results of the analysis indicate that, for the gently sloping sandy beach, waves of all heights are important to the morphological response. For the mixed sand and gravel beach, filtering the smaller waves improves the statistical fit and it suggests that low-height waves do not play a primary role in the medium-term morohological resoonse, which is primarily driven by the intermittent larger storm waves.展开更多

[ Method] 89 Luyu - Yorkshire and 82 Luyu -Duroc were chosed and fed in the automatic determination system for swine production, 24h real-time monitoring feed in- take traits and growth performance, [ Result] It showed that: as feed intake increased, average daily gain (ADG) and weight of 4 months were en- hanced, days on test, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and age-corrected of weight at 100 kg were reduced, feed intake positively regulated growth performance of Luyu -Doroc and Yorkshire. Feed intake significantly impacted ADG and days on test (P 〈0.01 ), notably affected age-corrected of weight at 100 kg of Luyu - Duroc and FCR of Luyu - Yorkshire ( P〈 0.05), variation tendency of feed frequency was consistent with feed intake and feed time, and the correlation was significant. [ Conclusion] The correlation between feed intake traits and growth performance was mainly caused by feed intake, ADG and FCR, however, predictability of feed intake was stronger than ADG and FCR, so in the actual selection feed intake was increased in pig breeding, thus at the same time to enhance ADG and to reduce FCR.展开更多

文摘Brain-computer interfaces(BCI)based on steady-state visual evoked potentials(SSVEP)have attracted great interest because of their higher signal-to-noise ratio,less training,and faster information transfer.However,the existing signal recognition methods for SSVEP do not fully pay attention to the important role of signal phase characteristics in the recognition process.Therefore,an improved method based on extended Canonical Correlation Analysis(eCCA)is proposed.The phase parameters are added from the stimulus paradigm encoded by joint frequency phase modulation to the reference signal constructed from the training data of the subjects to achieve phase constraints on eCCA,thereby improving the recognition performance of the eCCA method for SSVEP signals,and transmit the collected signals to the robotic arm system to achieve control of the robotic arm.In order to verify the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method,this paper evaluated the method using SSVEP signals from 35 subjects.The research shows that the proposed algorithm improves the average recognition rate of SSVEP signals to 82.76%,and the information transmission rate to 116.18 bits/min,which is superior to TRCA and traditional eCAA-based methods in terms of information transmission speed and accuracy,and has better stability.
文摘Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is one of the most well-known methods to extract features from multi- view data and has attracted much attention in recent years. However, classical CCA is unsupervised and does not take discriminant information into account. In this paper, we add discriminant information into CCA by using random cross- view correlations between within-class samples and propose a new method for multi-view dimensionality reduction called canonical random correlation analysis (RCA). In RCA, two approaches for randomly generating cross-view correlation samples are developed on the basis of bootstrap technique. Furthermore, kernel RCA (KRCA) is proposed to extract nonlinear correlations between different views. Experiments on several multi-view data sets show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

文摘In this study the medium-term response of beach profiles was investigated at two sites: a gently sloping sandy beach and a steeper mixed sand and gravel beach. The former is the Duck site in North Carolina, on the east coast of the USA, which is exposed to Atlantic Ocean swells and storm waves, and the latter is the Milford-on-Sea site at Christchurch Bay, on the south coast of England, which is partially sheltered from Atlantic swells but has a directionally bimodal wave exposure. The data sets comprise detailed bathymetric surveys of beach profiles covering a period of more than 25 years for the Duck site and over 18 years for the Milford-on-Sea site. The structure of the data sets and the data-driven methods are described. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) was used to find linkages between the wave characteristics and beach profiles. The sensitivity of the linkages was investigated by deploying a wave height threshold to filter out the smaller waves incrementally. The results of the analysis indicate that, for the gently sloping sandy beach, waves of all heights are important to the morphological response. For the mixed sand and gravel beach, filtering the smaller waves improves the statistical fit and it suggests that low-height waves do not play a primary role in the medium-term morohological resoonse, which is primarily driven by the intermittent larger storm waves.

文摘Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)is a clinically relevant,real-time imaging modality that is frequently utilized to assess stroke type and severity.However,specific MRI biomarkers that can be used to predict long-term functional recovery are still a critical need.Consequently,the present study sought to examine the prognostic value of commonly utilized MRI parameters to predict functional outcomes in a porcine model of ischemic stroke.Stroke was induced via permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion.At 24 hours post-stroke,MRI analysis revealed focal ischemic lesions,decreased diffusivity,hemispheric swelling,and white matter degradation.Functional deficits including behavioral abnormalities in open field and novel object exploration as well as spatiotemporal gait impairments were observed at 4 weeks post-stroke.Gaussian graphical models identified specific MRI outputs and functional recovery variables,including white matter integrity and gait performance,that exhibited strong conditional dependencies.Canonical correlation analysis revealed a prognostic relationship between lesion volume and white matter integrity and novel object exploration and gait performance.Consequently,these analyses may also have the potential of predicting patient recovery at chronic time points as pigs and humans share many anatomical similarities(e.g.,white matter composition)that have proven to be critical in ischemic stroke pathophysiology.The study was approved by the University of Georgia(UGA)Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee(IACUC;Protocol Number:A2014-07-021-Y3-A11 and 2018-01-029-Y1-A5)on November 22,2017.

文摘Liaocheng Prefecture is located in North China Plain with a long reclamation history of more than 10000 years. In this study the author applied data to explain the relationship between land use pattern and physical, social and economic factors and further to find out driving forces which lead to land use changes in such an agricultural region. Data of three different time points on township level were taken into account to explain the land use pattern, and land use changes. And 40-year county level data were applied to analyze the driving forces. Canonical Correlation Analysis was conducted to explain the relationship between land use pattern and social and economic factors; and Linear Regression Analysis was used to find out driving forces of land use change, thus to project the future trend of land use change in Liaocheng Prefecture.
文摘Many approaches exist in the field of landuse change study but few of which is suitable for the quantitative analysis A statistical method named as canonical correlation analysis was used in this paper to analyze the relationship between landuse structure and physical, socioeconomic impacts It was found that geographic factors such as landform and humidity dominated the structure of land use in China in 1990 generally, and that for different regions or different categories of land use, the effet al of physical or human variables might differ I conclude that the statistical method makes a further step in quantitative landuse change study Canonical correlation analysis is very beneficial to the explanation of landuse structure distribution

文摘[ Objective] To study the effect of feed intake characteristic on growth performance in Luyu - Duroc and Yorkshire. [ Method] 89 Luyu - Yorkshire and 82 Luyu -Duroc were chosed and fed in the automatic determination system for swine production, 24h real-time monitoring feed in- take traits and growth performance, [ Result] It showed that: as feed intake increased, average daily gain (ADG) and weight of 4 months were en- hanced, days on test, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and age-corrected of weight at 100 kg were reduced, feed intake positively regulated growth performance of Luyu -Doroc and Yorkshire. Feed intake significantly impacted ADG and days on test (P 〈0.01 ), notably affected age-corrected of weight at 100 kg of Luyu - Duroc and FCR of Luyu - Yorkshire ( P〈 0.05), variation tendency of feed frequency was consistent with feed intake and feed time, and the correlation was significant. [ Conclusion] The correlation between feed intake traits and growth performance was mainly caused by feed intake, ADG and FCR, however, predictability of feed intake was stronger than ADG and FCR, so in the actual selection feed intake was increased in pig breeding, thus at the same time to enhance ADG and to reduce FCR.
文摘This paper examines the most sensitive exchange rates for tin price based on China and Indonesia that these are the world’s first and second largest tin producers.The export data from these countries have shared over 75 per cent of global tin supply that relates significantly with the Indonesian exchange rate based on the Canonical Correlation Analysis(CCA).Furthermore,the future tin prices are forecasted using the weighted least squares(WLS)model.This model is selected since it takes into account the non-normally distribution and heteroscedasticity of the original data.Overall,this result suggests that the Indonesian exchange rate is superior in predicting the future tin price rather than the Chinese exchange rate while China is the largest tin producer in the world.This is caused that the Chinese exchange rate cannot appreciate to other currency baskets.
