As to regression prediction, support vector machine regression (SVMR) ensemble is proposed by resampling from given training data sets repeatedly and aggregating several independent SVMRs, each of which is trained to use a replicated training set. After training, several independently trained SVMRs need to be aggregated in an appropriate combination manner. Generally, the linear weighting is usually used like expert weighting score in Boosting Regression and it is without optimization capacity. Three combination techniques are proposed, including simple arithmetic mean, linear least square error weighting and nonlinear hierarchical combining that uses another upper-layer SVMR to combine several lower-layer SVMRs. Finally, simulation experiments demonstrate the accuracy and validity of the presented algorithm.展开更多

In this system, the cytosine base editor(CBE) and adenine base editor(ABE) allow generating precise and irreversible base mutations in a programmable manner and have been used in many different types of cells and organisms. However, their applications are limited by low editing efficiency at certain genomic target sites or at specific target cytosine(C) or adenine(A) residues. Using a strategy of combining optimized synergistic core components, we developed a new multiplex super-assembled ABE(sABE) in rice that showed higher base-editing efficiency than previously developed ABEs. We also designed a new type of nuclear localization signal(NLS) comprising a FLAG epitope tag with four copies of a codon-optimized NLS(F4NLS^(r2)) to generate another ABE named F4NLS-sABE. This new NLS increased editing efficiency or edited additional A at several target sites. A new multiplex super-assembled CBE(sCBE) and F4NLS^(r2) involved F4NLS-sCBE were also created using the same strategy. F4NLS-sCBE was proven to be much more efficient than sCBE in rice. These optimized base editors will serve as powerful genome-editing tools for basic research or molecular breeding in rice and will provide a reference for the development of superior editing tools for other plants or animals.展开更多

In this study, sea ice concentration data are assimilated into an operational ice forecast system based on a com- bined optimal interpolation and nudging scheme. The scheme produces a modeled sea ice concentration at every time step, based on the difference between observational and forecast data and on the ratio of observational error to modeled error. The impact and the effectiveness of data assimilation are investigated. Significant improvements to predictions of sea ice extent were obtained through the assimilation of ice concentration, and minor improvements through the adjustment of the upper ocean properties. The assimilation of ice thickness data did not significantly improve predictions. Forecast experiments show that the forecast accuracy is higher in summer, and that the errors on five-day forecasts occur mainly around the marginal ice zone.展开更多

This topic always involves high-dimensional inputs with limited resources. The foldover is a quick and useful technique in construction of fractional designs, which typically releases aliased factors or interactions.This paper takes the wrap-around L_2-discrepancy as the optimality measure to assess the optimal three-level combined designs. New and efficient analytical expressions and lower bounds of the wraparound L_2-discrepancy for three-level combined designs are obtained. The new lower bound is useful and sharper than the existing lower bound. Using the new analytical expression and lower bound as the benchmarks, the authors may implement an effective algorithm for constructing optimal three-level combined designs.展开更多

By introducing distance-comparing process and generating new particle based on optimized combination scheme, PF-FR filter performs better than generic sampling importance resampling particle filter (PF-SIR) both in terms of effectiveness and diversity of the particle system, hence, evidently improving estimation accuracy of the state in the nonlinear/non-Gaussian models. Simulations indicate that the proposed PF-FR algorithm can maintain the diversity of particles and thus achieve the same estimation accuracy with less number of particles. Consequently, PF-FR filter is a competitive choice in the applications of nonlinear state estimation.展开更多

文摘Reconnaissance mission planning of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)under an adversarial environment is a discrete combinatorial optimization problem which is proved to be a non-deterministic polynomial(NP)-complete problem.The purpose of this study is to research intelligent multiUAVs reconnaissance mission planning and online re-planning algorithm under various constraints in mission areas.For numerous targets scattered in the wide area,a reconnaissance mission planning and re-planning system is established,which includes five modules,including intelligence analysis,sub-mission area division,mission sequence planning,path smoothing,and online re-planning.The intelligence analysis module depicts the attribute of targets and the heterogeneous characteristic of UAVs and computes the number of sub-mission areas on consideration of voyage distance constraints.In the sub-mission area division module,an improved K-means clustering algorithm is designed to divide the reconnaissance mission area into several sub-mission areas,and each sub-mission is detected by the UAV loaded with various detective sensors.To control reconnaissance cost,the sampling and iteration algorithms are proposed in the mission sequence planning module,which are utilized to solve the optimal or approximately optimal reconnaissance sequence.In the path smoothing module,the Dubins curve is applied to smooth the flight path,which assure the availability of the planned path.Furthermore,an online re-planning algorithm is designed for the uncertain factor that the UAV is damaged.Finally,reconnaissance planning and re-planning experiment results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper are effective and the algorithms designed for sequence planning have a great advantage in solving efficiency and optimality.

文摘How to obtain an effective design is a major concern of scientific research. This topic always involves high-dimensional inputs with limited resources. The foldover is a quick and useful technique in construction of fractional designs, which typically releases aliased factors or interactions.This paper takes the wrap-around L_2-discrepancy as the optimality measure to assess the optimal three-level combined designs. New and efficient analytical expressions and lower bounds of the wraparound L_2-discrepancy for three-level combined designs are obtained. The new lower bound is useful and sharper than the existing lower bound. Using the new analytical expression and lower bound as the benchmarks, the authors may implement an effective algorithm for constructing optimal three-level combined designs.

文摘In order to solve particle degeneracy phenomenon and simultaneously avoid sample impoverishment, this paper proposed an improved particle filter based on fine resampling algorithm for general case, called as particle filter with fine resampling (PF-FR). By introducing distance-comparing process and generating new particle based on optimized combination scheme, PF-FR filter performs better than generic sampling importance resampling particle filter (PF-SIR) both in terms of effectiveness and diversity of the particle system, hence, evidently improving estimation accuracy of the state in the nonlinear/non-Gaussian models. Simulations indicate that the proposed PF-FR algorithm can maintain the diversity of particles and thus achieve the same estimation accuracy with less number of particles. Consequently, PF-FR filter is a competitive choice in the applications of nonlinear state estimation.

文摘Monitoring the dynamics of soil salinization is of great importance for agricultural production.This study selected Yucheng County,a typical county on the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain(HHHP)of China,as the study area and evaluated the spatial and temporal variation of soil salinization.Three methods,consisting of principal component analysis(PCA)transformation,tasseled cap(TC)transformation,and optimal band combination(OBC),were used to extract information from an early Landsat multispectral scanner(MSS)image from 1984,and their advantages were compared.In addition,OBC was used on a thematic mapper(TM)image from 2009.An iteratively self-organizing data analysis algorithm was used together with prior knowledge of likely classifications to interpret the MSS and TM images for data classification.Finally,a transfer matrix method was used to assess the spatial and temporal variability of soil salinization and analyze the driving factors of soil salinization.Compared to PCA transformation and OBC,TC transformation was a more effective method for extracting soil salinization information from the MSS sensor.The results indicate that a soil area of approximately 298 km^2was affected by salinity in 1984 in Yucheng County,of which 5.40%,11.96%,and 12.75%were classified as being subject to slight,moderate,and severe salinization,respectively.In 2009,the saline area was reduced to only 146 km^2,of which 10.70%and 3.75%were characterized by slight to moderate salinization and no severe salinization,respectively.The saline land decreased at an average rate of 6 km^2per year.This decrease was probably a result of lower groundwater depth,increased organic fertilizer or crop straw in soil,changed land use type,and increased vegetation coverage.
文摘Some typical samples are used to explore the quantitative correlation with their features between a convective cloud and its rainfall field,with which to develop two morphological functions for the correlation and by singling out their most suitable groups of parameters we propose a model for quantitatively estimating precipitation in the context o{ the in-advance recognition of meso-α convective system properties and its precipitating center.From the model fitting precision and forecasting accuracy we find that it is feasible to utilize geostationary meteorological satellite (GMS) digitalized imagery for estimating short-term rainfall in a quantitative manner.Also,evidence suggests that the model is supposed to be restricted in its applicability due to the fact that the employed samples are from rather typical rainfall events that are large-scale,slow-moving and have well-defined genesis and dissipative stages.

文摘Water-fertilizer coupling technology has been widely used in the world.Poor soil aeration,low temperature or high temperature can affect the rate of nutrient uptake by crop roots.Aiming at the interaction between water,fertilizer,dissolved oxygen and temperature(WFOT)coupling model and irrigation flux of tomato in greenhouse,using these four factors with a five-level uniform-precision rotatable central composite design,a mathematical model was established among the four factors affecting tomato yield in a greenhouse,and the optimal combination scheme of WFOT was obtained.Within the test range,tomato yields increased with increasing irrigation quotas(X_(1)),fertilization amount(X_(2)),dissolved oxygen(X_(3))and geothermal pipe water temperature(X_(4)).The magnitude of the effect of each factor of WFOT on tomato yield was in the following order:X_(1),X_(2),X_(4),X_(3)(spring and summer),and X_(1),X_(3),X_(2),X_(4)(autumn and winter).The interaction between high water-low heat and low water-high heat were beneficial for yield increase(spring and summer),the high fertilizer-low heat and low fertilizer-high heat interactions were beneficial to yield increase(autumn and winter).If WFOT agronomic measures were adopted according to the 95%confidence interval,there was a 95%probability that the spring-summer tomato yield will be higher than 89902 kg/hm^(2).The WFOT coupling scheme was X_(1)of 4808-5091 m3/hm^(2),X_(2)(N-P_(2)O_(5)-K_(2)O)of 171-57-84 to 186-62-89 kg/hm^(2),X_(3)of 7.9-8.2 mg/L,and X_(4)of 34.9°C-37.0°C.There was a 95%probability of tomato yield higher than 85209 kg/hm^(2)in autumn and winter,and the WFOT coupling scheme was X_(1)of 5270-5416 m3/hm^(2),X_(2)(N-P_(2)O_(5)-K_(2)O)of 151-50-76 to 167-56-82 kg/hm^(2),X_(3)of 8.0-8.2 mg/L,and X_(4)of 34.1°C-36.2°C.Overall,and the model had a very good simulation effect,with application value.The relative error between spring-summer and autumn-winter yields ranged from 1.12%to 25.34%.The results of the study can provide a theoretical basis for improving the quality and efficiency of greenhouse tomatoes.
