Automatic Sounding Generalization in Nautical Chart Considering Bathymetry Complexity Variations

Sounding acts as the main feature in a digital nautical chart as it describes the concerned marine topography for the safety of navigation. Unlike the geometry-oriented selection of point feature, the generalization of soundings for chart compiling is expected to be context-oriented, which means bathymetry complexity variations across the study region should be preserved in the sounding selection process. However, such variations are not explicitly accessible to automated systems. This paper proposes an approach that effectively analyzes and measures bathymetry complexity from sounding data, with a focus on topography variations among different regions. The presented approach first divides the exploring region into several subregions, by adopting techniques of computational geometry and graph theory. Then, the approach quantitatively measures the bathymetry complexity of the subregions from grid-based digital terrain model. Finally, a composite bathymetry complexity index integrating aspects of steepness and depth variation is developed to guide the operation of sounding selection in different subregions. Generally, when seafloor is rugged with steep slopes, the number of soundings is high. While in flatter areas, a smaller amount of soundings is retained. The potential of our approach is demonstrated by an application to a real data set.     

孟加拉笛鲷与四带笛鲷的微卫星分析

采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术,从西大西洋笛鲷（Lutjanuscampechanus）和勒氏笛鲷（L．russel—lii）的微卫星引物中筛选出适用于孟加拉笛鲷（L．bengalensis）和四带笛鲷（三．kasmira）的微卫星引物,并应用于三亚和湛江群体的遗传结构分析．结果表明：25对引物中筛选出13对可以稳定扩增出特异片段的引物,其中12对可在孟加拉笛鲷基因组中扩增出重复性好的特异性条带;10对可在四带笛鲷中扩增出重复性好的特异性条带,并且全部呈现出种内多态;9对为两个种通用．孟加拉笛鲷的湛江群体（zMJ）和三亚群体（SMJ）、四带笛鲷的湛江群体（ZSD）和三亚群体（SSD）的平均等位基因数分别为：3．8889、4．1111、4．3333、4．2222;平均观测杂合度分别为：0．5833、0．6389、0．5944、0．6389;平均多态信息含量分别为：0．4720、0．4692、0．5474、0．5257．将本实验所得结果与笛鲷鱼其他研究结果进行比较分析,可以看出目前湛江海域野生笛鲷的遗传多样性整体比较丰富,但部分野生笛鲷已表现出杂合子缺失的趋势,这势必会引起将来遗传多样性的降低,所以要尽旱对野生群体进行摸底调查。并找出解决养殖群体污染野生群体这一问题的方法．     

The Nichols' Relief Model of the United States

Abstract

The agricultural system in West Pakistan is largely subsistence-oriented, and extensive areas are devoted to produce the low-value crops. Only a small portion of the total cropped area is used to raise cash crops. However, there are regional differences in cropland use in the province. The study focuses on regional variations in the cropping patterns in West Pakistan by establishing the crop combination areas. The crop combination areas also point out a land-use distinction between the areas. Also, the changes in some of the important crops in terms of their land occupancy in the area during the fifteen-year period have been analyzed.

A rationale for beach selection by the public on the coast of Wales, UK

Questionnaires were completed by 2306 beach users at 19 Welsh beaches with respect to beach selection parameters. The modal group of respondents was female aged 30–39. Beach choice was primarily determined by clean litter-free sand and seawater, followed by safety. Refreshment facilities and beach awards were deemed minor considerations by the public when choosing a beach to visit. Approximately 58 per cent of respondents were aware of beach award and rating schemes. Of coastal visitors interviewed for this paper, 67 per cent rated a beach as 'important' or 'very important' to their holiday, with just 2 per cent replying that they were unimportant.     

基于数据挖掘探析针刺治疗支气管哮喘的选穴规律

目的：通过数据挖掘分析针刺治疗支气管哮喘的选穴规律。方法：检索中国知网(CNKI)、维普中文科技期刊数据库(VIP)、万方数据(WANFANG DATA)、中国生物医学文献服务系统(SinoMed)自建库至2022年9月20日收录的针刺治疗支气管哮喘的临床研究文献，通过中医传承辅助平台系统V2.5进行频次、关联规则、聚类、核心处方分析。结果：共纳入42篇文献，包含52个腧穴，总使用频次为272次，使用频次排前10位的腧穴依次为：肺俞、定喘、足三里、丰隆、膻中、尺泽、列缺、天突、风门、大椎;常用腧穴主要分布于足太阳膀胱经、手太阴肺经、任脉。特定穴多选用背俞穴、交会穴及五输穴。腧穴配伍以肺俞-定喘最为常见。核心腧穴处方：肺俞、定喘、足三里、丰隆、膻中、风门。结论：特定穴的选用是针刺治疗哮喘组方的重要组成部分，临床应重视“治脏者，治其俞”之选穴思想，突出“局部配穴”“远近配穴”“前后配穴”之配穴特点，从而体现“扶正祛邪，标本兼顾”之治疗原则。     

基于特征选取及广义傅立叶分形的SAR图像海洋溢油检测算法

针对海上溢油SAR图像中油膜与类油膜的识别问题,提出了一种结合傅立叶分形与特征提取的检测算法。由于分形特征可以具有无穷多的细节,并在不同的研究尺度存在自仿射特性。这与油膜及类油膜表面的几何形貌特征非常吻合。该算法通过计算样本的傅立叶分形特征,组成油膜与类油膜的特征空间。然后,应用基于差分进化的特征选取方法将利于分类的重要特征值筛选出来。再利用重要特征值对原有样本进行分类。实验表明,经特征选取的分形特征向量能够以100%的准确率将两类样本区分开。该算法在选取重要特征的同时实现了对高维特征空间降维的目的,该思想可以应用于其他的基于高维特征的识别系统中,具有普遍的适用性。

Oort Cloud Comet Perihelion Asymmetries: Galactic Tide, Shower or Observational Bias?

We investigate the distribution of Oort cloud comet perihelia. The data considered includes comets having orbital elements of the two highest quality classes with original energies designated as new or young. Perihelion directions are determined in galactic, ecliptic and geocentric equatorial coordinates. Asymmetries are detected in the scatter and are studied statistically for evidence of adiabatic galactic tidal dynamics, an impulse-induced shower and observational bias. The only bias detected is the well-known deficiency of observations with perihelion distances q > 2.5 AU. There is no significant evidence of a seasonal dependence. Nor is there a substantive hemispherical bias in either ecliptic or equatorial coordinates. There is evidence for a weak stellar shower previously detected by Biermann which accounts for ≈ 10% of the total observations. Both the q bias and the Biermann star track serve to weaken the evidence for a galactic tidal imprint. Nevertheless, statistically significant asymmetries in galactic latitude and longitude of perihelia remain. A latitude asymmetry is produced by a dominant tidal component perpendicular to the galactic disk. The longitude signal implies that ≈ 20% of new comets need an additional dynamical mechanism. Known disk non-uniformities and an hypothetical bound perturber are discussed as potential explanations. We conclude that the detected dynamical signature of the galactic tide is real and is not an artifact of observational bias, impulsive showers or poor data.
