Dynamic prediction of building subsidence deformation with data-based mechanistic self-memory model

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper describes a building subsidence deformation prediction model with the self-memorization principle. According to the non-linear specificity and monotonic growth characteristics of the time series of building subsidence deformation, a data-based mechanistic self-memory model considering randomness and dynamic features of building subsidence deformation is established based on the dynamic data retrieved method and the self-memorization equation. This model first deduces the differential equation of the building subsidence deformation system using the dynamic retrieved method, which treats the monitored time series data as particular solutions of the nonlinear dynamic system. Then, the differential equation is evolved into a difference-integral equation by the self-memory function to establish the self-memory model of dynamic system for predicting nonlinear building subsidence deformation. As the memory coefficients of the proposed model are calculated with historical data, which contain useful information for the prediction and overcome the shortcomings of the average prediction, the model can predict extreme values of a system and provide higher fitting precision and prediction accuracy than deterministic or random statistical prediction methods. The model was applied to subsidence deformation prediction of a building in Xi’an. It was shown that the model is valid and feasible in predicting building subsidence deformation with good accuracy.
Distributed Service Level Flow Control and Fairness in Wireless Mesh Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

IEEE 802.11s mesh networking standard supports Mesh Coordinated Channel Access (MCCA) to provide better quality of service (QoS) through channel reservation during the MAC layer channel access. According to the current QoS specifications, network traffic can be broadly classified into four classes-voice, video, background and best effort. However, MCCA does not directly support the standard service differentiation that is essential for service level QoS assurance. Further, assuring fairness among the flows of similar service classes is required for effective bandwidth utilization. Providing service differentiation along with the fairness is challenging in a distributed environment due to their non-linearity and non-additive properties. This paper uses the concept of (α, p)-proportional fairness to design a distributed method for providing service differentiation with minimum fairness guarantee. An admission control mechanism is designed over standard mesh protocols to manage the minimum service guarantee for existing flows in the network. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is analyzed using experimental results from an IEEE 802.11n+s mesh networking testbed. The scalability and performance bound of the proposed scheme is further analyzed using simulation results.

SELF-COMPATIBILITY OF CARAGANA ARBORESCENS LAM.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Self-compatibility (% of 'tripped' flowers setting pods) for 218 selections of Caragana arborescens varied continuously from 0.0 to 99.5%. The frequency distribution of the compatibility data in terms of percentage was positively skewed by an excess of low self-compatibility plants and had a mean of 36.9%. However, angular transformation of the data resulted in a distribution which approached normality. Pollen abortion, which ranged from 0 to 24%, had little if any influence upon self-compatibility. Selection for high plant vigor was accompanied by a minor reduction in compatibility. Self-incompatibility of three trees could be explained by the action of several compatibility [Formula: see text] factors.
Morphological Traits and Specialization of Neotropical Flower-hummingbird Networks.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Biological specialization plays a central role in species coexistence. While many studies focus on hummingbird pollination, research on the effects of morphological traits of both hummingbirds and plants on the specialization of interaction networks remains scarce. In this study, we aim to address the following questions: i) does the dominance of ornithophilous plant species increase the specialization of hummingbird-plant interaction networks?; ii) do ornithophilous plants exhibit a greater diversity of interactions with hummingbirds compared to non-ornithophilous plants?; iii) do the beak size and body weight of hummingbirds influence the diversity of their interactions? Research was conducted on hummingbird-plant interactions in the Neotropical region. We investigated hummingbird-plant interactions in the Neotropical region by compiling 24 networks from the literature, comprising 1,182 interactions between 34 hummingbird species and 326 plant species. We found no effect of ornithophilous plant dominance on the structure (connectance and modularity) of the networks. However, species-level interactions were influenced by morphological attributes of both plants and hummingbirds. Interaction similarity among plant species was greater for ornithophilous plants than for non- ornithophilous plants. Additionally, beak size positively influenced the degree and specialization of hummingbird interactions. Our findings demonstrate that the morphological characteristics of hummingbird and plant species directly influence the diversity of interactions in Neotropical hummingbird-plant networks and species specialization.
SINR improvement based on joint design of transmit covariance matrix and receive filter design for colocated MIMO radar

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This paper examines we aim to improve the performance of target detection in the presence of signal‐dependent interference in multiple‐input multiple‐output radar through the joint design of the receiver spatial filter and the covariance matrix of waveforms. For this purpose, the signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio is considered as the design criterion. The proposed method is a sequential algorithm that calculates the receiver filter coefficients through a closed form in each step of the algorithm. The correlation of transmit waveforms is also calculated utilizing the coordinate descent method. The covariance matrix is designed in two forms. In the first form, it is assumed that the optimal matrix is a Toeplitz matrix which leads to a simpler design. In the second form, the covariance matrix is calculated by combining orthogonal waveforms, which yields better performance for interfere reduction. Simulation results show that the proposed method has more appropriate performance in comparison with other methods.
Pharmacological Strategies for Insulin Sensitivity in Obesity and Cancer: Thiazolidinediones and Metformin

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background: Chronic diseases, such as obesity and cancer, have high prevalence rates. Both diseases have hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, high levels of IGF-1 and inflammatory cytokines in common. Therefore, these can be considered triggers for cancer development and growth. In addition, low-grade inflammation that modulates the activation of immune cells, cellular metabolism, and production of cytokines and chemokines are common in obesity, cancer, and insulin resistance. Pharmacological strategies are necessary when a change in lifestyle does not improve glycemic homeostasis. In this regard, thiazolidinediones (TZD) possess multiple molecular targets and regulate PPARγ in obesity and cancer related to insulin resistance, while metformin acts through the AMPK pathway. Objective: The aim of this study was to review TZD and metformin as pharmacological treatments for insulin resistance associated with obesity and cancer. Conclusions: Thiazolidinediones restored adiponectin secretion and leptin sensitivity, reduced lipid droplets in hepatocytes and orexigen peptides in the hypothalamus. In cancer cells, TZD reduced proliferation, production of reactive oxygen species, and inflammation by acting through the mTOR and NFκB pathways. Metformin has similar effects, though these are AMPK-dependent. In addition, both drugs can be efficient against certain side effects caused by chemotherapy.

Through this study we wanted to learn how this program can be mutually beneficial to both groups of learners and help overcome some of the language and culture barriers to communication. Findings of Session 1 evaluation showed that the participants increased their level of confidence, as well as target language and culture awareness while developing a friendship with their conversation partner.
Rare Complication Post-Conization for Cervical Dysplasia: Rectovaginal Fistula

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

(1) Background: High-grade cervical dysplasia is primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Conservative surgery is the preferred treatment approach for this condition. The most commonly employed technique is the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), which involves removing the affected portion of the cervix. Excisional treatments are often curative, and complications are typically rare and minor; (2) Methods: The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is the standard method used for conservative surgery in high-grade cervical dysplasia. It entails the excision of the specific area of the cervix where the abnormal cells are present. The procedure employs a wire loop carrying an electrical current to remove the affected tissue; (3) Results: Excisional treatments, such as LEEP, have shown to be effective in treating high-grade cervical dysplasia. They have a high success rate in eliminating abnormal cells and reducing the risk of cervical cancer. Complications associated with LEEP are infrequent and usually minor. Short-term complications may include bleeding, which can be managed easily. Long-term complications may involve cervical canal stenosis, which can impact fertility; (4) Conclusions: Conservative surgery, particularly the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), is the preferred and effective treatment for high-grade cervical dysplasia caused by HPV infection. It offers a high cure rate with rare and minor complications. While short-term bleeding is a common occurrence, it is manageable. Long-term complications such as cervical canal stenosis may impact fertility. However, an extremely rare and possibly unique complication described in this case is the development of a vaginorectal fistula. This complication is likely due to indirect thermal injury resulting from compromised tissue. Further research is needed to better understand and prevent such complications.
<title>Extremely sensitive detection of transient species in laser flash photolysis of ultrathin organized molecular films by optical waveguide</title>

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Transient species upon pulsed laser excitation of ultrathin polymer and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films was detected sensitively by the optical waveguide (OWG) method. Tetratolylporphyrin in poly(methylmethacrylate) films and amphiphilic tetraphenylporphyrin in mixed LB films with dioctadecyldimethylammonium were prepared on the surface of OWGs. These films were excited with the second harmonics of a ns Nd:YAG laser in controlled environment. The transient absorption of excited triplet porphyrins was detected sensitively by Ar+ laser, He-Ne laser, or diode lasers as a probe. Transient absorption in LB films with only two monolayers was observed by the present method. It was about hundred times increase of sensitivity as compared with a conventional normal incidence measurement. Different decay dynamics were observed for excited triplet state porphyrins in polymer films and in LB films, which was attributed to the different spatial distribution of chromophores.

WIDEBAND CIRCULAR POLARIZATION CAVITAY-BACKED SLOT ANTENNA FOR GNSS APPLICATIONS

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a wideband circular polarization antenna for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). By exciting four slots etched along each edge of a square ground with equal amplitude and 90 ◦ phase difference, good circular polarization performance is achieved. A novel radiation element, composed of back-side slot and front-side monopole, is proposed to realize a wideband radiation. Meanwhile, the feed network composed of Schiffman phase shifters and Wilkinson power dividers maintains this wideband performance. A backed cavity is used to suppress the backward radiation, therefore enhances the frontward gain. Measured results of the fabricated antenna show good agreement with the simulated ones. The main advantages of this antenna include its wide bandwidth, good circular polarization, high front to back ratio, low cost, and easy fabrication, which make it very attractive for GNSS terrestrial applications.
Geostatistics in the Presence of Multivariate Complexities: Comparison of Multi-Gaussian Transforms

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract One of the most challenging aspects of multivariate geostatistics is dealing with complex relationships between variables. Geostatistical co-simulation and spatial decorrelation methods, commonly used for modelling multiple variables, are ineffective in the presence of multivariate complexities. On the other hand, multi-Gaussian transforms are designed to deal with complex multivariate relationships, such as non-linearity, heteroscedasticity and geological constraints. These methods transform the variables into independent multi-Gaussian factors that can be individually simulated. This study compares the performance of the following multi-Gaussian transforms: rotation based iterative Gaussianisation, projection pursuit multivariate transform and flow transformation. Case studies with bivariate complexities are used to evaluate and compare the realisations of the transformed values. For this purpose, commonly used geostatistical validation metrics are applied, including multivariate normality tests, reproduction of bivariate relationships, and histogram and variogram validation. Based on most of the metrics, all three methods produced results of similar quality. The most obvious difference is the execution speed for forward and back transformation, for which flow transformation is much slower.
Calculation of Acceleration Effects Using the Zubarev Density Operator

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The relativistic form of the Zubarev density operator can be used to study quantum effects associated with acceleration of the medium. In particular, it was recently shown that the calculation of perturbative corrections in acceleration based on the Zubarev density operator makes it possible to show the existence of the Unruh effect. In this paper, we present the details of the calculation of quantum correlators arising in the fourth order of the perturbation theory needed to demonstrate the Unruh effect. Expressions for the quantum corrections for massive fermions are also obtained.
Electrothermal Averaged Model of a Diode-Transistor Switch Including IGBT and a Rapid Switching Diode

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This study proposes an electrothermal averaged model of the diode–transistor switch including insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and a rapid switching diode. The presented model has the form of subcircuits dedicated for simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) and it makes it possible to compute characteristics of DC–DC converters at the steady state considering self-heating phenomena, both in the diode and in IGBT. This kind of model allows computations of voltages, currents and internal temperatures of all used semiconductor devices at the steady state. The formulas used in this model are adequate for both: continuous conducting mode (CCM) and discontinuous conducting mode (DCM). Correctness of the proposed model is verified experimentally for a boost converter including IGBT. Good accuracy in modeling these converter characteristics is obtained.

Determination of Biophysical Parameters of Polypeptide Retro−Inverso Isomers and Their Analogues by Capillary Electrophoresis

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The relationship between the electrophoretic mobility, microobs, Stokes radius, rs, ionization state, and solution conformation of the all L-alpha-polypeptide, 1, the corresponding retro-all D-alpha-polypeptide, 2, and several truncated analogues, 3-5, has been investigated under low pH buffer conditions by high-performance capillary zonal electrophoresis (HPCZE) with coated capillaries. The results confirm that, under these conditions, the all L-alpha-polypeptide, 1, and its retro-inverso isomer, 2, exhibit nonidentical electrophoretic mobilities and thus different Stokes radii. At higher pH values, i.e., pH 5.0, the electrophoretic behavior of this retro-inverso isomer pair, however, converges. These results indicate that variations in the dipole characteristics of the polypeptide main chain and subtle differences introduced by the spatial constraints of the L-alpha-Pro-->D-alpha-Pro residue replacement lead to differences in the Stokes radii and electrophoretic mobilities of these polypeptides. Since the observed electrophoretic mobilities, microobs, reflect the mean of the mobilities of each charge species participating according to their Stokes radius or their intrinsic charge and mole fraction abundances, the results confirm that polypeptide retro-inverso isomers with unmodified amino and carboxy termini are resolvable. This outcome was achieved despite their notional topographical and conformational similarities as assessed from high-field proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.
Slowly Changing Vectors and the Asymptotic Finite-Dimensionality of an Operator Semigroup

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Let $T:X\to X$ be a linear power bounded operator on Banach space. Let $X_0$ is a subspace of vectors tending to zero under iterating of $T$. We prove that if $X_0$ is not equal to $X$ then there exists $λ$ in Sp(T) such that, for every $ε>0$, there is $x$ such that $|Tx-λx|1-ε$ for all $n$. The technique we develop enables us to establish that if $X$ is reflexive and there exists a compactum $K$ in $X$ such that for every norm-one $x\in X$ $ρ\{T^nx, K\}
EPCP: An Efficient Point Cloud Classification Network with Position Fusion

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Recently, deep learning on 3D point cloud data has driven rapid development in the field of autonomous driving. However, processing 3D point clouds is a challenging task. Transformers are widely used in various fields of deep learning. In the community of 3D point clouds, Point Cloud Transformer(PCT, a transformer-based framework) also achieves excellent performance on 3D point cloud tasks. However, the well-known attention mechanism benefits performance improvement while it also leads to expensive computational costs. To alleviate the problem, we propose a novel structure named efficient Point Cloud Classification Network with Position Fusion(EPCP), which uses the strategy of fusing absolute coordinates-based features and relative position information instead of the attention mechanism. By fusing relative position information, our method ensures that the output features maintain different sensitivity to specific areas, which plays a similar role as the attention mechanism. To verify the effectiveness of our method, we conduct experiments on ModelNet40 and real-world ScanObjectNN datasets. Compared with PCT, our method maintains the same accuracy on ModelNet40 and improves by 5.5% on ScanObjectNN. At the same time, our method reduces the number of parameters by 91% and FLOPs by 50% compared to PCT on the ModelNet40 dataset.
