Image Super-Resolution Based on Generative Adversarial Networks: A Brief Review

Single image super resolution (SISR) is an important research content in the field of computer vision and image processing. With the rapid development of deep neural networks, different image super-resolution models have emerged. Compared to some traditional SISR methods, deep learning-based methods can complete the superresolution tasks through a single image. In addition, compared with the SISR methods using traditional convolutional neural networks, SISR based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) has achieved the most advanced visual performance. In this review, we first explore the challenges faced by SISR and introduce some common datasets and evaluation metrics. Then, we review the improved network structures and loss functions of GAN-based perceptual SISR. Subsequently, the advantages and disadvantages of different networks are analyzed by multiple comparative experiments. Finally, we summarize the paper and look forward to the future development trends of GAN-based perceptual SISR.

大港油田南区低渗透油藏两相共渗区窄，注水开发短期内含水上升迅速，根据间歇注水理论，并借鉴国内外油田的实验经验，1998年在舍女寺油田女20、女34区块开展超短周期（周期0．5－5d)间歇注水试验。总结不同注水周期和频率及油并不同含水级别对其效果的影响。认为超短周期间歇注水可改善油层动用状况，对中、低含水受益油井之注水井有较好的适用性，为低渗透油藏注水开发提出了一种经济有效的方法。图1参（王学立摘）。     

Beyond Wiener–Askey Expansions: Handling Arbitrary PDFs

In this paper we present a Multi-Element generalized Polynomial Chaos (ME-gPC) method to deal with stochastic inputs with arbitrary probability measures. Based on the decomposition of the random space of the stochastic inputs, we construct numerically a set of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a conditional probability density function (PDF) in each element and subsequently implement generalized Polynomial Chaos (gPC) locally. Numerical examples show that ME-gPC exhibits both p- and h-convergence for arbitrary probability measures     

滦河上游植被指数NDVI及EVI对SPEI的响应差异

在全球气候变化和人类活动的双重影响下,干旱呈广发、频发态势,使植被生长受到限制,进而影响生态系统结构,威胁区域生态安全。以滦河上游为研究区,基于2000-2019年归一化植被指数NDVI和增强型植被指数EVI,并结合标准化降水蒸散指数SPEI,分析滦河上游气象干旱和植被生长状况的变化趋势及空间分布特征,探讨植被变化对多时间尺度SPEI指数的响应差异。结果表明：近20年滦河上游SPEI呈波动式增大趋势,年尺度SPEI增大速率为0.040 1/a;干旱面积总体减少,减少速率为-1.430 4％/a;NDVI和EVI空间分布特征和变化趋势大体一致,植被覆盖度呈东南高西北低的特征,NDVI和EVI增大速率分别达0.027/a和0.026/a;大部分区域SPEI与植被指数呈正相关,其中NDVI对SPEI-3的响应最强,EVI对SPEI-6的响应最强,总体上EVI与SPEI的相关性强于NDVI;草地对气象干旱最敏感,农田次之,林地最弱。

局部阴影下光伏阵列MPPT算法的研究

针对局部阴影状态下光伏阵列P-U特性曲线多峰值的问题,提出了一种基于搜索-计算-判断的三步法全局最大功率点跟踪(GMPPT)策略。该方法使用改进型扰动观察法反向搜索第一个峰值点,利用计算和判断减小搜索区域,将多峰值间接转化为单峰值搜索,解决了搜索过程中陷入局部极值的问题。通过建立3种阴影状态下的模型,将该方法与现有最大功率点跟踪(MPPT)算法进行仿真对比,并建立相应的试验进行验证。仿真及试验结果表明,该方法在有、无阴影状态下均能稳定实现GMPPT,有效地提高了系统的跟踪精度和跟踪速度。     

Cardiac Oxidative Signaling and Physiological Hypertrophy in the Na/K-ATPase α1s/sα2s/s Mouse Model of High Affinity for Cardiotonic Steroids

The Na/K-ATPase is the specific receptor for cardiotonic steroids (CTS) such as ouabain and digoxin. At pharmacological concentrations used in the treatment of cardiac conditions, CTS inhibit the ion-pumping function of Na/K-ATPase. At much lower concentrations, in the range of those reported for endogenous CTS in the blood, they stimulate hypertrophic growth of cultured cardiac myocytes through initiation of a Na/K-ATPase-mediated and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent signaling. To examine a possible effect of endogenous concentrations of CTS on cardiac structure and function in vivo, we compared mice expressing the naturally resistant Na/K-ATPase α1 and age-matched mice genetically engineered to express a mutated Na/K-ATPase α1 with high affinity for CTS. In this model, total cardiac Na/K-ATPase activity, α1, α2, and β1 protein content remained unchanged, and the cardiac Na/K-ATPase dose–response curve to ouabain shifted to the left as expected. In males aged 3–6 months, increased α1 sensitivity to CTS resulted in a significant increase in cardiac carbonylated protein content, suggesting that ROS production was elevated. A moderate but significant increase of about 15% of the heart-weight-to-tibia-length ratio accompanied by an increase in the myocyte cross-sectional area was detected. Echocardiographic analyses did not reveal any change in cardiac function, and there was no fibrosis or re-expression of the fetal gene program. RNA sequencing analysis indicated that pathways related to energy metabolism were upregulated, while those related to extracellular matrix organization were downregulated. Consistent with a functional role of the latter, an angiotensin-II challenge that triggered fibrosis in the α1^r/rα2^s/s mouse failed to do so in the α1^s/sα2^s/s. Taken together, these results are indicative of a link between circulating CTS, Na/K-ATPase α1, ROS, and physiological cardiac hypertrophy in mice under baseline laboratory conditions.
