Building a model-based personalised recommendation approach for tourist attractions from geotagged social media data

When travelling, people are accustomed to taking and uploading photos on social media websites, which has led to the accumulation of huge numbers of geotagged photos. Combined with multisource information (e.g. weather, transportation, or textual information), these geotagged photos could help us in constructing user preference profiles at a high level of detail. Therefore, using these geotagged photos, we built a personalised recommendation system to provide attraction recommendations that match a user's preferences. Specifically, we retrieved a geotagged photo collection from the public API for Flickr (Flickr.com) and fetched a large amount of other contextual information to rebuild a user's travel history. We then created a model-based recommendation method with a two-stage architecture that consists of candidate generation (the matching process) and candidate ranking. In the matching process, we used a support vector machine model that was modified for multiclass classification to generate the candidate list. In addition, we used a gradient boosting regression tree to score each candidate and rerank the list. Finally, we evaluated our recommendation results with respect to accuracy and ranking ability. Compared with widely used memory-based methods, our proposed method performs significantly better in the cold-start situation and when mining ‘long-tail’ data.     

Sex determination and differentiation in Aurelia sp.1: the absence of temperature dependence

Cnidarians, being regarded as ‘basal' metazoan animals, are considered to have relatively high plasticity in terms of sex reversal. In this study we used an experimental approach to demonstrate sexual diff erentiation and plasticity in benthic polyps and pelagic medusae of A urelia sp.1 maintained at dif ferent temperatures. Results indicated that in A urelia sp.1, sex diff erentiation has been determined at the polyp stage and that all medusae originating from a given polyp are, phenotypically, of the same sex. In addition, the sex of polyps budding from the same clone(either male or female) at dif ferent temperatures appears to be the same as that of the parent. The sex of medusae that had originated from a known-sex polyp was observed to remain the same as that of the parent, irrespective of differences in strobilation or rearing temperatures. These results indicate that the mechanism of sex determination of Aurelia sp.1. is not influenced by prevailing temperature regimes. A comparison of variability in terms of sexual plasticity of A urelia sp.1 with that of Hydrozoa and Anthozoa suggests that species characterized by a free-swimming medusa life stage have a high dispersal potential, which probably results in a lower rate of sex reversal.

Summary of research on frost heave for subgrade in seasonal frozen ground

The building of railways on seasonally frozen ground is inevitable as China pursues economic development and the improvement of its citizens' living standards. However, railway construction in seasonally frozen soil areas is often faced with frost heave, leading to uneven subgrades which seriously threaten traffic safety. This article summarizes extant research results on frost heave mechanism, frost heave factors, and anti-frost measures of railway subgrades in seasonally frozen soil areas.

Distance law and formation of satellite systems

In the solar system satellite systems of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are typical ones. The distribution of the semi-major axis of satellite orbits in each system may be expressed by an empirical formula corresponding to the Titius-Bode law. We found that it can be written as a_n = B′ · Bⁿ, where B′ and B are constants. Values of B′ and B depend on formation conditions of each system. Satellites should be formed in the gas-satellitesimal disk around a planet and by aggregation of satellitesimals. The gas is the major component in the disk and its damping effect must play an important role in the process of aggregation of satellitesimals. It may be proved that radial small perturbation in the disk can cause the gravitational instability and the formation of gaseous rings with increased density, where satellitesimals can easy aggregat into satellites.     

柴北缘鱼卡河榴辉岩围岩的变质时代及其地质意义

利用阴极发光和LA-ICP-MS原位分析方法,对柴北缘鱼卡河超高压榴辉岩的直接围岩——石榴石白云母角闪钠长片麻岩和含蓝晶石的石榴石云母片岩进行了详细的锆石微量元素和U-Th-Pb同位素分析。结果表明,石榴石白云母角闪钠长片麻岩中的锆石主体呈浑圆状形态,内部结构以扇状和冷杉树状为主,稀土总量和重稀土含量均较低,重稀土富集程度低,具明显正Eu异常,Th/U比值均小于0.1,指示其形成在与石榴石平衡共生而不含斜长石的变质条件下。而含蓝晶石的石榴石云母片岩中的锆石显示明显的核-边结构,核部显示碎屑锆石特征,边部为与石榴石共生的变质新生锆石。LA-ICP-MS原位定年获得两种围岩的峰期变质年龄分别为(431±3)Ma和(432±19)Ma。这两组年龄在误差范围内一致,而且与已获得的紧邻的两类超高压榴辉岩的变质年龄((436±3)Ma和(431±4)Ma)以及带内指示大陆深俯冲作用时代的都兰含柯石英副片麻岩锆石的柯石英微区年龄(424~432Ma)完全一致。参考这两类岩石与超高压榴辉岩的野外产状关系、含蓝晶石的石榴石云母片岩的原岩特征以及榴辉岩中超过变质年龄达300Ma的原岩残核的存在,共同表明,柴北缘鱼卡河超高压变质地体是典型的大陆深俯冲碰撞作用的产物,本区大陆深俯冲发生的时代为430~435Ma的早古生代。
