PSSA: PCA-domain superpixelwise singular spectral analysis for unsupervised hyperspectral image classification.
Although supervised classification of hyperspectral images (HSI) has achieved success in remote sensing, its applications in real scenarios are often constrained, mainly due to the insufficiently available or lack of labelled data. As a result, unsupervised HSI classification based on data clustering is highly desired, yet it generally suffers from high computational cost and low classification accuracy, especially in large datasets. To tackle these challenges, a novel unsupervised spatial-spectral HSI classification method is proposed. By combining the entropy rate superpixel segmentation (ERS), superpixel-based principal component analysis (PCA), and PCA-domain 2D singular spectral analysis (SSA), both the efficacy and efficiency of feature extraction are improved, followed by the anchor-based graph clustering (AGC) for effective classification. Experiments on three publicly available and five self-collected aerial HSI datasets have fully demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed PCA-domain superpixelwise SSA (PSSA) method, with a gain of 15–20% in terms of the overall accuracy, in comparison to a few state-of-the-art methods. In addition, as an extra outcome, the HSI dataset we acquired is provided freely online
Analysis of failure characteristics of grouting concretion body under the action of water-force coupling
Cement slurry is widely used in grouting reinforcement of coal mine floor. Under the action of water-force coupling, the floor of abandoned roadway reinforced by cement slurry is prone to damage. The failure characteristics of grouting concretion body under water-force coupling were studied by using RFPA software considering the heterogeneity of rock mass. The numerical simulation results show that the acoustic emission (AE) of numerical samples of the same strength with different lower boundary pressure decreases with the increase of lower boundary pressure, and the acoustic emission of numerical samples of the same lower boundary pressure with different strength increases with the increase of compressive strength. The lower the water pressure at the lower boundary is, the lower the softening degree of the sample is, and the sample is more prone to brittle fracture under external load. The numerical simulation results have important guiding significance for the grouting concretion body protection of coal mine floor in the future
Actively implementing an evidence-based feeding guideline for critically ill patients (NEED): a multicenter, cluster-randomized, controlled trial
Background: Previous cluster-randomized controlled trials evaluating the impact of implementing evidence-based guidelines for nutrition therapy in critical illness do not consistently demonstrate patient benefits. A large-scale, sufficiently powered study is therefore warranted to ascertain the effects of guideline implementation on patient-centered outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter, cluster-randomized, parallel-controlled trial in intensive care units (ICUs) across China. We developed an evidence-based feeding guideline. ICUs randomly allocated to the guideline group formed a local "intervention team", which actively implemented the guideline using standardized educational materials, a graphical feeding protocol, and live online education outreach meetings conducted by members of the study management committee. ICUs assigned to the control group remained unaware of the guideline content. All ICUs enrolled patients who were expected to stay in the ICU longer than seven days. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality within 28 days of enrollment.
Results: Forty-eight ICUs were randomized to the guideline group and 49 to the control group. From March 2018 to July 2019, the guideline ICUs enrolled 1399 patients, and the control ICUs enrolled 1373 patients. Implementation of the guideline resulted in significantly earlier EN initiation (1.20 vs. 1.55 mean days to initiation of EN; difference − 0.40 [95% CI − 0.71 to − 0.09]; P = 0.01) and delayed PN initiation (1.29 vs. 0.80 mean days to start of PN; difference 1.06 [95% CI 0.44 to 1.67]; P = 0.001). There was no significant difference in 28-day mortality (14.2% vs. 15.2%; difference − 1.6% [95% CI − 4.3% to 1.2%]; P = 0.42) between groups.
Conclusions: In this large-scale, multicenter trial, active implementation of an evidence-based feeding guideline reduced the time to commencement of EN and overall PN use but did not translate to a reduction in mortality from critical illness.

Simulation evaluation of underwater robot structure and control system based on ADAMS
The twenty-first century is the century of marine resources. The ocean is a treasure of biological resources, energy, water resources and mineral resources, and it would gradually become the “second space” of mankind. In the next few years, it would be more and more relevant to human life. Many scholars have realized the importance of the ocean and began to vigorously develop and use the ocean. Underwater robot is a means for human beings to explore and develop the ocean, and it would be widely used in this field. The development and promotion of underwater vehicles are of great significance to resource development, economic development, and national security. With the increasing shortage of land resources, the development and utilization of marine resources have received increasing attention. The direct exploitation of marine resources by humans would have adverse effects, so the underwater robot technology has developed rapidly in recent years. However, at present, most underwater robots are driven by electric turbines. The underwater working environment requires that the underwater motor has good sealing performance, so its structure is complex and expensive, and it is rarely used in ordinary underwater operations. In recent years, intelligent robots have been used more and more, but because of the complexity and uncertainty of the underwater working environment, there are many uncertain factors. Therefore, it is very meaningful to carry out stability control for it. The research results showed that the displacement, stability, and other corresponding test curves of each component can be obtained by establishing a simple model with software and through ADAMS (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) simulation analysis. This can simulate the movement of real objects in the real environment and find the existing problems, so as to provide a reference for the actual underwater robot design. In this way, the development cycle and production costs can be reduced. This article analyzed the structure and control system of the underwater vehicle based on ADAMS simulation. The results showed that the dynamic stability of the underwater vehicle based on ADAMS simulation analysis was improved by 4.67% compared with the underwater vehicle before optimization
RESEARCH ON DAMAGE ZONE IN STRESS FIELD INTENSITY METHOD
In view of the controversial problem of damage zone in stress field intensity method,a method was proposed to determine damage zone by stress contour. Stress contour calculating steps were given. The example was given to demonstrate the calculating process. The result of the example analysis shows that the damage zone is not a regular and spherical zone,but is irregular. The method can reflect the real damage zone and is accord with the fatigue mechanism. The damage zone size and the load applied show a quadratic curve relationship and monotone increase. This method considers the changing load’s effect on the damage zone and even large load is applied it still can accurately predict the fatigue life of components. In order to prove the universality of the method,two examples with different notch shapes and load forms were given to verify. The result shows that the method can accurately predict the fatigue life of components with any notch shape and any load form and good predicted results have been achieved
A New Method for Automatically Labeling Aircrafts in Airport Video
For the problem that the airport video monitoring could only provide the image information while the label information including the flight number is not provided, a new method for automatically labeling aircrafts in airport video through the fusion of video and ADS-B data has been proposed. First, the image coordinates of aircrafts will be obtained through the image tracking of video. Then, the homography matrix between two projection planes will be calculated with the four and above point and line correspondences selected from the airport map and video image, respectively to the map image coordinates into the map coordinates. Finally, the aircrafts in video can be automatically labeled through the fusion of image tracking data and ADS-B monitoring data. Because an image coordinate measurement error exists at the time of selecting points from the image, the resulting coordinate conversion error is derived and the impact of point correspondence geometric layout on mesh coordinate mapping error is analyzed. Experiments have been conducted based on the actual data of Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. The results show that the method can automatically label aircrafts in video in an effective way
A collaborative method to survey and store urban components
Urban components are the important part of the city, and the rapid and efficient survey of urban components is a key requirement of urban digitization. In this paper, a method of the collaborative survey and storage of urban components is proposed. The national standard code for urban components survey is optimized to accelerate the survey and storage of urban components, and the time cost of error discovery is shorten by using AutoCAD to check the spatial location and employing a VBA macro programme to search for the attribute data errors. At the same time, a collaborative processing flow of components data is constructed through ArcPy to further speed up the storage of urban components. The experiment of urban components survey in Wanxiu District of Wuzhou City shows that this method can effectively reduce the complexity of urban component data storage procedure and the error rate. Compared with the traditional method, the proposed method is about 2 times more efficient to input the urban component data into the database
