Shanghai Public Libraries and Lifelong Education
この論文は国立情報学研究所の学術雑誌公開支援事業により電子化されました。Currently, development of the knowledge economy and global cities are becoming indispensable themes for the development of society. Within this trend, public libraries are playing increasingly crucial roles. In this new era, how to create a powerful library system to stimulate the development of the city and society is one of the key projects focused on by the public and authorities. This paper will thoroughly discuss the features, styles, functions and developments of lifelong education offered by the public library by examining lifelong education elements and socio-educational services of the Shanghai Library. Furthermore, it will discuss the status and influence of Shanghai Library's lifelong education services on the developments of Shanghai City
Local Feature Discriminant Projection
In this paper, we propose a novel subspace learning algorithm called Local Feature Discriminant Projection (LFDP) for supervised dimensionality reduction of local features. LFDP is able to efficiently seek a subspace to improve the discriminability of local features for classification. We make three novel contributions. First, the proposed LFDP is a general supervised subspace learning algorithm which provides an efficient way for dimensionality reduction of large-scale local feature descriptors. Second, we introduce the Differential Scatter Discriminant Criterion (DSDC) to the subspace learning of local feature descriptors which avoids the matrix singularity problem. Third, we propose a generalized orthogonalization method to impose on projections, leading to a more compact and less redundant subspace. Extensive experimental validation on three benchmark datasets including UIUC-Sports, Scene-15 and MIT Indoor demonstrates that the proposed LFDP outperforms other dimensionality reduction methods and achieves state-of-the-art performance for image classification
Antibiotic resistance in urban green spaces mirrors the pattern of industrial distribution
Urban green spaces are closely related to the activities and health of urban residents. Turf grass and soil are two major interfaces between the environmental and human microbiome, which represent potential pathways for the
spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from environmental to human microbiome through skin-surface contact. However, the information regarding the prevalence of ARGs in urban green spaces and drivers in shaping their distribution patterns remain unclear. Here, we profiled a wide spectrum of ARGs in grass phyllosphere and soils from 40 urban parks across Greater Melbourne, Australia, using high throughput quantitative PCR. A total of 217 and 218 unique ARGs and MGEs were detected in grass phyllosphere and soils, respectively,
conferring resistance to almost all major classes of antibiotics commonly used in human and animals. The plant microbiome contained a core resistome, which occupied > 84% of the total abundance of ARGs. In contrast, no core resistome was identified in the soil microbiome. The difference between plant and soil resistome composition was attributed to the difference in bacterial community structure and intensity of environmental and anthropogenic influence. Most importantly, the abundance of ARGs in urban green spaces was significantly
positively related to industrial factors including total number of business, number of manufacturing, and number of electricity, gas, water and waste services in the region. Structural equation models further revealed that
industrial distribution was a major factor shaping the ARG profiles in urban green spaces after accounting for multiple drivers. These findings have important implications for mitigation of the potential risks posed by ARGs
to urban residents
Energy Spectrum Theory of Incommensurate Systems
Due to the lack of the translational symmetry, calculating the energy
spectrum of an incommensurate system has always been a theoretical challenge.
Here, we propose a natural approach to generalize the energy band theory to the
incommensurate systems without reliance on the commensurate approximation, thus
providing a comprehensive energy spectrum theory of the incommensurate systems.
Except for a truncation dependent weighting factor, the formulae of this theory
are formally almost identical to that of the Bloch electrons, making it
particularly suitable for complex incommensurate structures. To illustrate the
application of this theory, we give three typical examples: one-dimensional
bichromatic and trichromatic incommensurate potential model, as well as a
moir\'{e} quasicrystal. Our theory establishes a fundamental framework for
understanding the incommensurate systems.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
Relation Between Gravitational Mass and Baryonic Mass for Non-Rotating and Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars
With a selected sample of neutron star (NS) equations of state (EOSs) that are consistent with the current observations and have a range of maximum masses, we investigate the relations between NS gravitational mass Mg and baryonic mass Mb, and the relations between the maximum NS mass supported through uniform rotation (Mmax) and that of nonrotating NSs (MTOV). We find that for an EOS-independent quadratic, universal transformation formula (Mb=Mg+A×M2g)(Mb=Mg+A×Mg2), the best-fit A value is 0.080 for non-rotating NSs, 0.064 for maximally rotating NSs, and 0.073 when NSs with arbitrary rotation are considered. The residual error of the transformation is ∼ 0.1M⊙ for non-spin or maximum-spin, but is as large as ∼ 0.2M⊙ for all spins. For different EOSs, we find that the parameter A for non-rotating NSs is proportional to R−11.4R1.4−1 (where R1.4 is NS radius for 1.4M⊙ in units of km). For a particular EOS, if one adopts the best-fit parameters for different spin periods, the residual error of the transformation is smaller, which is of the order of 0.01M⊙ for the quadratic form and less than 0.01M⊙ for the cubic form ((Mb=Mg+A1×M2g+A2×M3g)(Mb=Mg+A1×Mg2+A2×Mg3)). We also find a very tight and general correlation between the normalized mass gain due to spin Δm = (Mmax − MTOV)/MTOV and the spin period normalized to the Keplerian period PP, i.e., log10Δm=(−2.74±0.05)log10P+log10(0.20±0.01)log10Δm=(−2.74±0.05)log10P+log10(0.20±0.01), which is independent of EOS models. These empirical relations are helpful to study NS-NS mergers with a long-lived NS merger product using multi-messenger data. The application of our results to GW170817 is discussed
