基于多变量形态学特征的健康老年人认知发展预测算法

由于体积、表面积等常规形态学指标对于皮层下核团而言过于笼统,因此传统的形态特征获取手段难以检测到其表面形态的细微变化。为解决这一问题,本文提出了一种针对皮层下核团的精细特征提取算法,并将其应用到老年人认知状态预测任务上。通过表面共形参数化、表面共形表示和基于互信息的表面流配准,提取了46名被试双侧海马和杏仁核各15 000×2个顶点上的形态学特征;通过斑块选择、稀疏编码与字典学习,和最大池化的降维流程,避免了维度诅咒的同时充分保留了核团的纹理信息;最后,以树为弱学习器,采用GentleBoost算法集成了最终的强分类器做认知预测。结果显示,仅纳入海马和杏仁核两个皮层下结构的新颖特征,即可达到85%的预测准确率,为皮层下结构的精细特征发掘提供了新思路。     

MC/DC Test Data Generation Algorithm Based on Whale Genetic Algorithm

The automatic generation of test data is a key step in realizing automated testing. Most automated testing tools for unit testing only provide test case execution drivers and cannot generate test data that meets coverage requirements. This paper presents an improved Whale Genetic Algorithm for generating test data required for unit testing MC/DC coverage. The proposed algorithm introduces an elite retention strategy to avoid the genetic algorithm from falling into iterative degradation. At the same time, the mutation threshold of the whale algorithm is introduced to balance the global exploration and local search capabilities of the genetic algorithm. The threshold is dynamically adjusted according to the diversity and evolution stage of current population, which positively guides the evolution of the population. Finally, an improved crossover strategy is proposed to accelerate the convergence of the algorithm. The improved whale genetic algorithm is compared with genetic algorithm, whale algorithm and particle swarm algorithm on two benchmark programs. The results show that the proposed algorithm is faster for test data generation than comparison methods and can provide better coverage with fewer evaluations, and has great advantages in generating test data.     

Unraveling the Charge Storage and Activity-Enhancing Mechanisms of Zn-Doping Perovskite Fluorides and Engineering the Electrodes and Electrolytes for Wide-Temperature Aqueous Supercabatteries

Herein, a trimetallic Ni–Co–Zn perovskite fluoride (ABF₃) (denoted as KNCZF) electrode material is explored for advanced aqueous supercabatteries (ASCBs), with KNCZF and activated carbon–FeBiCu@reduced graphene oxides (AC–FeBiCu@rGO) as cathode and anode, respectively, which outperform aqueous supercapacitors (ASCs) and batteries (ABs) with AC and FeBiCu@rGO anodes because of the synergistic effect of pseudocapacitive (KNCZF), capacitive (AC), and faradaic (FeBiCu@rGO) responses. One of the important findings is that the KNCZF shows a typical bulk phase conversion mechanism for charge storage in the alkaline media with the transition of ABF₃ perovskite nanocrystals into amorphous metal oxides/(oxy)hydroxides nanosheets, showing the redox-active and redox-inert roles for the Ni/Co and Zn species, respectively, which can be deduced by various ex-situ techniques. Another interesting finding is that the redox-inert Zn species largely enhance the activity of Ni/Co redox-active species in the ABF₃ materials, mainly owing to the promotion of surface electroactive sites, adsorption of OH^?, and charge transfer of surface Ni/Co atoms by Zn-doping, which can be proved by ex-situ characterizations and theoretical calculations. Overall, this study reveals the structure–activity relationship and charge storage mechanisms of Zn-doping ABF₃ materials for advanced ASCBs, showing a great impact on developing advanced electrochemical energy storage.

Experimental and numerical investigation on three-point bending behaviors of unidirectional warp-knitted composites

This study develops a novel specimen model, which considers the progressive damage of the layers, the knitting yarns, and the interlaminar cohesive zone, to investigate the flexural properties and the interlaminar shear properties of the unidirectional warp-knitted composites. Three-point bending tests are conducted as verification of the numerical model. Improved strain-based Hashin criteria are proposed to analyze the shear nonlinearity. Results show that specimens with small span-to-thickness ratios exhibit obvious nonlinear behaviors and the corresponding simulation results are sensitive to the value of the shear nonlinear factor. Failure mechanism and stress distributions are analyzed based on numerical simulations. The effect of the specimen size on bending behaviors is discussed. The influence of the width is found to be negligible but that of the span-to-thickness ratio is significant. The ranges of the span-to-thickness ratio corresponding to different failure modes are given. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019 , 136, 48132.     

大数据流式计算框架Heron环境下的流分类任务调度策略

新型大数据流式计算框架Apache Heron默认使用轮询调度算法进行任务调度，忽略了拓扑运行时状态以及任务实例间不同通信方式对系统性能的影响。针对这个问题，提出Heron环境下流分类任务调度策略（DSC-Heron），包括流分类算法、流簇分配算法和流分类调度算法。首先通过建立Heron作业模型明确任务实例间不同通信方式的通信开销差异；其次基于流分类模型，根据任务实例间实时数据流大小对数据流进行分类；最后将相互关联的高频数据流整体作为基本调度单元构建任务分配计划，在满足资源约束条件的同时尽可能多地将节点间通信转化为节点内通信以最小化系统通信开销。在包含9个节点的Heron集群环境下分别运行SentenceWordCount、WordCount和FileWordCount拓扑，结果表明DSC-Heron相对于Heron默认调度策略，在系统完成时延、节点间通信开销和系统吞吐量上分别平均优化了8.35%、7.07%和6.83%；在负载均衡性方面，工作节点的CPU占用率和内存占用率标准差分别平均下降了41.44%和41.23%。实验结果表明，DSC-Heron对测试拓扑的运行性能有一定的优化作用，其中对接近真实应用场景的FileWordCount拓扑优化效果最为显著。     

Effects of isomalt on the quality of wheat flour dough and spicy wheat gluten sticks

The effects of different isomalt concentrations on the quality of wheat flour dough and spicy wheat gluten sticks (SWGS) were evaluated at the physical, structural and molecular levels. The results showed that the radial expansion rate (RER) and oil absorption rate (OAR) of SWGS increased first and then decreased with increased isomalt supplementation, which reached the maximum at 3 wt%. The pasting properties of wheat starch also changed, and the peak viscosity, breakdown and setback were decreased with the addition of isomalt. Dynamic rheological properties results showed that the storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G'') increased with the addition of isomalt, which may be attributed to the reinforcement of gluten network structure by hydrogen bonding of isomalt. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images illustrated that the SWGS surface becomes smooth and the broken gluten structure was reduced after the addition of different isomalt levels compared with the control group. Overall, the wheat flour dough quality analysis showed that the addition of isomalt could generate a close binding with wheat starch and protein and further strengthen the internal structure of gluten through isomalt hydrogen bonds.     

基于憎水迁移性测试的复合绝缘子老化特性

憎水迁移性作为复合绝缘子状态评价和老化程度判断的关键参数,有着重要的研究意义。为此,以在我国南方地区运行多年的直流复合绝缘子为研究对象,采用静态接触角法进行了系统的憎水迁移性测试,同时应用傅里叶变换红外光谱和X射线光电子能谱分析深入探究了硅橡胶材料的微观结构变化。研究结果表明:绝缘子伞裙上表面的边沿憎水迁移性最差,根部憎水迁移性最好,绝缘子不同方位的憎水迁移性也有所差异;老化最为严重的边沿褪色位置有机官能团含量大幅下降,Si元素和C元素减少、Al元素增加,并且检测出硅橡胶体系交联度的明显上升。上述憎水迁移性以及微观分析的研究结果可为直流复合绝缘子老化机制和老化程度评估提供依据。
