An Ensemble Kalman Filter Approach Based on Level Set Parameterization for Acoustic Source Identification Using Multiple Frequency Information

In this paper, a reconstruction problem of the spatial dependent acoustic source from multiple frequency data is discussed. Suppose that the source function is supported on a bounded domain and the piecewise constant intensities of the source are known on the support. We characterize unknown domain by the level set technique. And the level set function can be modeled by a Hamilton-Jacobi system. We use the ensemble Kalman filter approach to analyze the system state. This method can avoid to deal with the nonlinearity directly and reduce the computation complexity. In addition, the algorithm can achieve the stable state quickly with the Hamilton-Jacobi system. From some numerical examples, we show these advantages and verify the feasibility and effectiveness.

Site- and event-specific wastewater-based epidemiology: Current status and future perspectives

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) can provide objective and reliable data to monitor spatio‐temporal patterns of licit and illicit drug use. Numerous studies have been published relating to sampling, sample stability, validation of analytical protocols and the back-calculation of drug consumption. The majority of these studies focus on sampling from municipal sewage treatment plants, but an increasing number of studies have used WBE to monitor community-specific substance use and use during special events. This paper presents a systematic review of published WBE studies of drug use trends in educational institutions and prisons, as well as during music festivals, sporting events, and holidays. A discussion on the application and benefits of using wastewater-based epidemiology in these specific cases is presented together with an examination of current challenges and future perspectives.     

LIBS中药材石斛等级识别研究

石斛是一种常用的中药材,经常使用新鲜的或干燥的茎条入药,有益胃生津、滋阴清热的效果。近年来,药理学研究探索出石斛具有抗白内障、抗氧化、抗肿瘤、提高免疫力的作用,其在许多病例中疗效显著,引起了国内外学者的关注,然而不同时间采集的石斛中氨基酸、微量元素等含量各不同,其对应药用价值,价格也不同,因此石斛价格等级分辨的研究具有重要意义。为快速鉴别不同价格、不同药效的石斛,研究了随机森林分类模型结合激光诱导击穿光谱技术(LIBS)对石斛价格等级进行分析建模。选取5个等级的石斛样品进行建模,为了对样品进行精确稳定分析,所有石斛样品均通过粉碎压片减小实验误差。采用1 064 nm波长的Nd∶YAG脉冲激光器作为激发光源,设置激光脉冲能量50 mJ,探测延时1μs,采集五个等级石斛样本的光谱数据,每个等级的样本采集40组光谱,共200组数据,并采用归一化处理,使所有的光谱数据转换到-1~1之间。采用归一化处理后的光谱数据进行主成分分析,通过主成分分析获得前7个主成分的得分矩阵,其累计解释95.24%的光谱信息。将选取的7个主成分作为输入,建立波段为220~880 nm的随机森林鉴别模型。并将石斛样本编号打乱,任意选取50%的光谱数据作为训练集,剩下50%的光谱数据作为测试集,默认决策树个数ntree为500,分裂属性集中属性个数mtry为5,建立模型对不同等级的石斛进行分类。等级一、二、三、四、五的识别率分别为95.45%, 100%, 78.26%, 94.12%和85%,平均识别率为90.57%。为提高识别率,研究了不同的ntree和mtry对分类模型的影响,利用袋外数据误差率估计对随机森林的两个参数进行了优化。选择ntree为300,mtry为1,等级一、二、三、四、五的识别率分别为100%, 100%, 92.31%, 100%和90%,平均识别率为96.46%,识别率提高了5.89%。综上所述,采用LIBS技术结合优化后的随机森林模型鉴别石斛等级具有一定的可行性,为未来快速鉴定不同价格的石斛等级分类提供了可行性的判别系统。     

Simple linkage: Analysis of a threshold-accepting global optimization method

In a recent paper the authors introduced an infinite class of global optimization algorithms based upon random sampling from the feasible region and local searches started from selected sample points, based upon an acceptance/rejection criterion. All of the algorithms of that class possess strong theoretical properties.Here we analyze a member of that family, which, although being significantly simpler to implement and more efficient than the well known Multi-Level Single-Linkage algorithm, enjoys the same theoretical properties. It is shown here that, with very high probability, our method is able to discover from which points Multi-Level Single-Linkage will decide to start local search.     

Approximations of open quotient and speed quotient from glottal airflow and egg waveforms : Effects of measurement criteria and sound pressure level

Noninvasive measures of vocal fold activity are useful for describingnormal and disordered voice production. Measures of open and speed quotient from glottal airflow and electroglottographic (EGG) waveforms have been used to describe timing events associated with vocal fold vibration. To date, there has been little consistency in the measurement criteria used to calculate quotient values. In this study, criteria of 20% and 50% were applied to the AC amplitude of glottal airflow and inverted EGG waveforms for measurement of open quotient. Criteria of 20%, 50%, and 80%, and a midslope criterion that segmented the waveform between 20% and 80% of the waveform amplitude, were used for the calculation of speed quotient. Subjects produced waveforms at sound pressure levels (SPL) of 70, 75, 80 and 85 dB. Results indicated that approximations of open quotient obtained from the glottal airflow waveform significantly decreased using both the 20% and 50% criteria as SPL increased from 80 to 85 dB. No significant changes were found in open quotient from the EGG waveform as a function of SPL. Results of speed quotient measures from the glottal airflow and EGG waveforms showed a generally increasing trend as SPL increased, although the differences were not statistically significant. The data suggest that the signal type, measurement criterion and SPL must be considered in interpreting quotient measures.

Experimental determination of spin-rotation and spin-spin magnetic interactions in by nuclear spin conversion

When a gas sample of ¹³CH₃F is prepared with a population of isomers (ortho and para forms) far from the equilibrium given by nuclear spin statistics, it relaxes towards this equilibrium with an exponential decay rate. This phenomenon called nuclear spin conversion is mainly governed by intramolecular spin-spin and spin-rotation interactions. In the quantum relaxation model [P.L. Chapovsky, Phys. Rev. A 43, 3624 (1991)], two pairs of ortho-para levels (J = 9, K = 3; J' = 11, K' = 1) and (J = 20, K = 3; J' = 21, K' = 1) are principally responsible for the conversion. The levels of the second pair are coupled by both spin-spin and spin-rotation interactions. The application of an electric field (up to 10 kV/cm) induces a crossing of the Stark components of this pair, which is observed for the first time. A specific experimental set-up based on an electric field of alternating triangular shape is used, which allows the determination of the strength of both interactions via the measurement of the spin conversion decay rates. This work yields the first experimental value for the electronic contribution to the spin-rotation interaction in ¹³CH₃F.

Efficient population transfer by delayed pulses despite coupling ambiguity

In traditional schemes of multilevel multilaser excitation, each laser pulse interacts with only one pair of states, and the rotating wave approximation (RWA) is applicable. Here we study the population transfer process in a three-state system when each of the two lasers interacts with each of the pair of states and when the Rabi frequencies characterizing the interaction strengths of the system are comparable to or larger than the difference of the transition frequencies. We show that complete and robust population transfer is possible under conditions more general than those hitherto considered necessary for stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) or for successive π pulses. Using adiabatic Floquet theory we show that successful population transfer can be interpreted as adiabatic passage by means of a transfer state which connects the initial and final states. The Floquet picture offers a convenient interpretation of the population transfer as accompanied by multiple absorption of photons from or emission into the laser fields.
