For Link-16, the anti-jamming performance evaluation and selection of the optimal anti-jamming technologies are urgent problems to be solved. A comprehensive evaluation method is proposed, which combines grey relational analysis (GRA) and cloud model, to evaluate the anti-jamming performances of Link-16. Firstly, on the basis of establishing the anti-jamming performance evaluation indicator system of Link-16, the linear combination of analytic hierarchy process(AHP) and entropy weight method (EWM) are used to calculate the combined weight. Secondly, the qualitative and quantitative concept transformation model, i.e., the cloud model, is introduced to evaluate the anti-jamming abilities of Link-16 under each jamming scheme. In addition, GRA calculates the correlation degree between evaluation indicators and the anti-jamming performance of Link-16, and assesses the best anti-jamming technology. Finally, simulation results prove that the proposed evaluation model can achieve the objective of feasible and practical evaluation, which opens up a novel way for the research of anti-jamming performance evaluations of Link-16.展开更多

In response to the issues of interlayer barriers affecting the formation of oil and gas reservoirs and controlling oil-water distribution, this study proposes precise classification and quantitative identification of interlayer barriers in the study area based on a fully connected neural network combined with grey relational analysis. Taking the second member of the Sangonghe Formation (J1S22) in the Moxizhuang Oilfield as an example, combined with previous research, this study statistically analyzes the lithology and logging response characteristics of three types of interlayer barriers in the study area. Based on differences in composition, lithology, and genesis, interlayer barrier types are classified. Sensitive logging data such as natural gamma, acoustic time difference, and resistivity are selected through crossover plots. Grey relational analysis is used to calculate comprehensive discrimination indicators for interlayer barriers. Combined with the fully connected neural network method, an interlayer barrier identification model is established, and model training is conducted to verify the accuracy of interlayer barrier identification. The results indicate that the interlayer barrier identification model based on a fully connected neural network can rapidly and accurately identify interlayer barriers and their types. Its application in the second member of the Sangonghe Formation in the Moxizhuang Oilfield in the Junggar Basin has proven that the identification results of this method for interlayer barriers have a conformity rate exceeding 90% with core data, demonstrating excellent performance in interlayer barrier identification and proving the effectiveness of the model for interlayer barrier identification and prediction in this area. The research conclusions can provide theoretical guidance and technical reference for the identification and evaluation of interlayer barriers in the second member of the Sangonghe Formation in the Moxizhuang Oilfield in the Junggar Basin.展开更多

This research introduces a tailored partitioning strategy leveraging the MD5 hashing algorithm to enhance data insertion, query performance, and load balancing in healthcare systems. By applying a consistent hash function to patient IDs, our approach achieves uniform distribution of records across partitions, optimizing retrieval paths and reducing access latency while ensuring data integrity and compliance. We evaluated the method through experiments focusing on partitioning efficiency, scalability, and fault tolerance. The partitioning efficiency analysis compared our MD5-based approach with standard round-robin methods, measuring insertion times, query latency, and data distribution balance. Scalability tests assessed system performance across increasing dataset sizes and varying partition counts, while fault tolerance experiments examined data integrity and retrieval performance under simulated partition failures. The experimental results demonstrate that the MD5-based partitioning strategy significantly reduces query retrieval times by optimizing data access patterns, achieving up to X% better performance compared to round-robin methods. It also scales effectively with larger datasets, maintaining low latency and ensuring robust resilience under failure scenarios. This novel approach offers a scalable, efficient, and fault-tolerant solution for healthcare systems, facilitating faster clinical decision-making and improved patient care in complex data environments.展开更多

It is found that the dispersion relation can be manipulated by strains through magneto-elastic coupling. Especially, the allowed bands and forbidden bands in dispersion relations shift to higher frequency with strain changing from compressive to tensile,while shifting to lower frequency with strain changing from tensile to compressive. We also confirm that the spin wave with specific frequency can pass the magnonic crystal or be blocked by tuning the strains. The result provides an advanced platform for studying the tunable skyrmion-based spin wave devices.展开更多

文摘In contemporary society,language transcends its function as a mere tool for communication.It is intrinsically linked to a people’s culture,values,and worldview.This observation is particularly salient in our globalized world,where linguistic considerations have assumed strategic importance.Recognizing this potential,numerous states are seeking to bolster their international relations by prioritizing the teaching of their languages.It is within this context that we focus our attention on the teaching of Chinese in Congo-Brazzaville.Our objective is to investigate the significance of this language in consolidating bilateral relations between China and Congo.To achieve this,we analyze the current state of Chinese language instruction within the Congolese educational system,emphasize the implications of its dissemination,and propose potential avenues for improvement.Our approach is qualitative,drawing upon observations,interviews,and a review of existing literature.We aim to understand how the teaching of Chinese can contribute to the economic,cultural,and social development of Congo,while simultaneously strengthening ties with China.
文摘Trump's victory in November 2024 once again had a strong impact on the European Union.However,unlike when Trump won the election for the first time in 2016,there have been some disturbing development trends in US-Europe relations.The imbalance in relations between the US and Europe has become even more pronounced.Whether in important fields such as the economy,finance,science and technology,or the military,the gap between the European Union and the United States is widening.Meanwhile,Europe's dependence on the United States is also increasing.Especially since the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis,it has formed an all-round dependence on the United States in terms of security,energy,markets,as well as capital and technology.The increasing imbalance in US-Europe relations has triggered anxiety in Europe,including concerns that Europe might become a“vassal”of the United States.During Trump's second term,Europe may be more inclined to cater to the United States and submit to its demands more often.However,under internal and external pressures,it may also accelerate the process of promoting strategic autonomy.Where the European Union will go will largely depend on the direction and intensity of policy adjustments during Trump's second term.
文摘Efficient data management in healthcare is essential for providing timely and accurate patient care, yet traditional partitioning methods in relational databases often struggle with the high volume, heterogeneity, and regulatory complexity of healthcare data. This research introduces a tailored partitioning strategy leveraging the MD5 hashing algorithm to enhance data insertion, query performance, and load balancing in healthcare systems. By applying a consistent hash function to patient IDs, our approach achieves uniform distribution of records across partitions, optimizing retrieval paths and reducing access latency while ensuring data integrity and compliance. We evaluated the method through experiments focusing on partitioning efficiency, scalability, and fault tolerance. The partitioning efficiency analysis compared our MD5-based approach with standard round-robin methods, measuring insertion times, query latency, and data distribution balance. Scalability tests assessed system performance across increasing dataset sizes and varying partition counts, while fault tolerance experiments examined data integrity and retrieval performance under simulated partition failures. The experimental results demonstrate that the MD5-based partitioning strategy significantly reduces query retrieval times by optimizing data access patterns, achieving up to X% better performance compared to round-robin methods. It also scales effectively with larger datasets, maintaining low latency and ensuring robust resilience under failure scenarios. This novel approach offers a scalable, efficient, and fault-tolerant solution for healthcare systems, facilitating faster clinical decision-making and improved patient care in complex data environments.

文摘It is important to clarify the historical facts and summarize the characteristics of the communication and cooperation between the CPC and the JCP during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, as it holds historical and contemporary relevance. The research findings indicate that the Comintern played a crucial role as the key intermediary in facilitating the establishment of connections between the CPC and the JCP and in driving the deepening of their relationship. During their exchanges, both parties adhered to a flexible and multi-layered friendship based on the unified values of patriotism and internationalism. Their efforts played a significant role in the establishment of an international anti-fascist front in the East.
文摘How to use a few defect samples to complete the defect classification is a key challenge in the production of mobile phone screens.An attention-relation network for the mobile phone screen defect classification is proposed in this paper.The architecture of the attention-relation network contains two modules:a feature extract module and a feature metric module.Different from other few-shot models,an attention mechanism is applied to metric learning in our model to measure the distance between features,so as to pay attention to the correlation between features and suppress unwanted information.Besides,we combine dilated convolution and skip connection to extract more feature information for follow-up processing.We validate attention-relation network on the mobile phone screen defect dataset.The experimental results show that the classification accuracy of the attentionrelation network is 0.9486 under the 5-way 1-shot training strategy and 0.9039 under the 5-way 5-shot setting.It achieves the excellent effect of classification for mobile phone screen defects and outperforms with dominant advantages.
文摘We theoretically investigate the propagation characteristics of spin waves in skyrmion-based magnonic crystals. It is found that the dispersion relation can be manipulated by strains through magneto-elastic coupling. Especially, the allowed bands and forbidden bands in dispersion relations shift to higher frequency with strain changing from compressive to tensile,while shifting to lower frequency with strain changing from tensile to compressive. We also confirm that the spin wave with specific frequency can pass the magnonic crystal or be blocked by tuning the strains. The result provides an advanced platform for studying the tunable skyrmion-based spin wave devices.

文摘Quantifying surface cracks in alpine meadows is a prerequisite and a key aspect in the study of grassland crack development.Crack characterization indices are crucial for the quantitative characterization of complex cracks,serving as vital factors in assessing the degree of cracking and the development morphology.So far,research on evaluating the degree of grassland degradation through crack characterization indices is rare,especially the quantitative analysis of the development of surface cracks in alpine meadows is relatively scarce.Therefore,based on the phenomenon of surface cracking during the degradation of alpine meadows in some regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,we selected the alpine meadow in the Huangcheng Mongolian Township,Menyuan Hui Autonomous County,Qinghai Province,China as the study area,used unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)sensing technology to acquire low-altitude images of alpine meadow surface cracks at different degrees of degradation(light,medium,and heavy degradation),and analyzed the representative metrics characterizing the degree of crack development by interpreting the crack length,length density,branch angle,and burrow(rat hole)distribution density and combining them with in situ crack width and depth measurements.Finally,the correlations between the crack characterization indices and the soil and root parameters of sample plots at different degrees of degradation in the study area were analyzed using the grey relation analysis.The results revealed that with the increase of degradation,the physical and chemical properties of soil and the mechanical properties of root-soil composite changed significantly,the vegetation coverage reduced,and the root system aggregated in the surface layer of alpine meadow.As the degree of degradation increased,the fracture morphology developed from"linear"to"dendritic",and eventually to a complex and irregular"polygonal"pattern.The crack length,width,depth,and length density were identified as the crack characterization indices via analysis of variance.The results of grey relation analysis also revealed that the crack length,width,depth,and length density were all highly correlated with root length density,and as the degradation of alpine meadows intensified,the underground biomass increased dramatically,forming a dense layer of grass felt,which has a significant impact on the formation and expansion of cracks.
