Measurements and Modeling of the Responses of VLF Transmitter Signals to X‐Class Solar Flares at the Great Wall Station in Antarctica by Wei Xu, Xudong Gu, Binbin Ni, Shiwei Wang, Zhe Yang, Wen Cheng, Ze‐Jun Hu, Fang He, Bin Li, Xiang‐Cai Chen, Jian‐Jun Liu, Hong‐Qiao Hu

“…The key to better assess these effects is to more accurately quantify the electron density enhancements induced by solar flares, which is still uncertain. Thanks to the good coverage and quiet electromagnetic environment provided by the Great Wall Station (GWS, 62.22°S, 58.96°W) in Antarctica, our Very‐Low‐Frequency (VLF) receiver has recorded clean VLF signatures produced by three X‐class solar flares from March to May in 2022. …”

Comparison of spectrophotometric, potentiometric and voltammetric methodologies for the determination of nitrite and nitrate in industrial effluents and in watercourses by Cherrine Kelce Pires, Efraim Lázaro Reis, Maria Isabel Cristina Batista Mayrink, Gabriel Henrique Sperandio

“…However, there were some important considerations: UV-Vis spectrophotometry is quite accurate, but can be affected by interferences in the sample, such as the presence of other substances that absorb light at the same wavelength; potentiometry with ion-selective electrodes, despite being a simpler and lower-cost technique, also presented good results. Because it is more affordable, it is considered an excellent option for use in routine analyses, especially in places where resources are limited; and finally, differential pulse voltammetry, which is a more complex technique, but offers high sensitivity and can be useful in cases where very low concentrations of ions need to be detected. …”

Visual explanation method for reversible neural networks by Xinying MU, Bingbing SONG, Fanxiao LI, Yisen ZHENG, Wei ZHOU, Yunyun DONG

“…The issue of model explainability has gained significant attention in understanding the vulnerabilities and anonymous decision-making processes inherent in deep neural networks (DNN).While there has been considerable research on explainability for traditional DNN, there is a lack of exploration on the operation mechanism and explainability of reversible neural networks (RevNN).Additionally, the existing explanation methods for traditional DNN are not suitable for RevNN and suffer from issues such as excessive noise and gradient saturation.To address these limitations, a visual explanation method called visual explanation method for reversible neural network (VERN) was proposed for RevNN.VERN leverages the reversible property of RevNN and is based on the class-activation mapping mechanism.The correspondence between the feature map and the input image was explored by VERN, allowing for the mapping of classification weights of regional feature maps to the corresponding regions of the input image.The importance of each region for model decision-making was revealed through this process, which generates a basis for model decision-making.Experimental comparisons with other explanation methods on generalized datasets demonstrate that VERN achieves a more focused visual effect, surpassing suboptimal methods with up to 7.80% improvement in average drop (AD) metrics and up to 6.05% improvement in average increase (AI) metrics in recognition tasks.VERN also exhibits an 82.00% level of localization for the maximum point of the heat value.Furthermore, VERN can be applied to explain traditional DNN and exhibits good scalability, improving the performance of other methods in explaining RevNN.Furthermore, through adversarial attack analysis experiments, it is observed that adversarial attacks alter the decision basis of the model.This is reflected in the misalignment of the model’s attention regions, thereby aiding in the exploration of the operation mechanism of adversarial attacks.…”
