Analysis of Water Resources Carrying Capacity in the Greater Bay Area Based on Index Probability Distribution by CHEN Juan, WANG Sen

“…Foshan is slightly higher than grade III and located in grade IV.The water resources carrying capacity of Zhuhai is relatively better,while that of Foshan is relatively poor.Regarding the coordination degree of water resources environment and economic society,Foshan exhibits moderate imbalance,while other cities all have low coordination.In view of this,some suggestions are provided,including controlling the total amount of water use,rationally allocating water resources,optimizing and adjusting the industrial structure,improving water use efficiency,protecting the water environment,and strengthening water conservation.…”

Multifractal-Multiscale Analysis of Cardiovascular Signals: A DFA-Based Characterization of Blood Pressure and Heart-Rate Complexity by Gender by Paolo Castiglioni, Davide Lazzeroni, Paolo Coruzzi, Andrea Faini

“…Therefore, aim of this work is to present a DFA-based method for joint multifractal/multiscale analysis designed to address the above critical points and to provide the first description of the multifractal/multiscale structure of interbeat intervals (IBI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in male and female volunteers separately. The method optimizes data splitting in blocks to reduce the DFA estimation variance and to evaluate scale coefficients with Taylor’s expansion formulas and maps the scales from beat domains to temporal domains. …”

Unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features by Zeyu WANG, Shuhui BU, Wei HUANG, Yuanpan ZHENG, Qinggang WU, Huawen CHANG, Xu ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problem of the distribution differences of visual, spatial, and semantic features between domains in domain adaptation, an unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features was proposed.Firstly, an attentive fusion semantic segmentation network with three-layer structure was designed to learn the above three types of features from the source domain and target domain, respectively.Secondly, a self-supervised learning method jointing distribution confidence and semantic confidence was introduced into the single-level adversarial learning, so as to achieve the distribution alignment of more target domain pixels in the process of minimizing the distribution distance of the learnt features between domains.Finally, three adversarial branches and three adaptive sub-networks were jointly optimized by the multi-level adversarial learning method based on multi-modal features, which could effectively learn the invariant representation between domains for the features extracted from each sub-network.The experimental results show that compared with existing state-of-the-art methods, on the datasets of GTA5 to Cityscapes, SYNTHIA to Cityscapes, and SUN-RGBD to NYUD-v2 the proposed network achieves the best mean intersection over union of 62.2%, 66.9%, and 59.7%, respectively.…”
