Dynamics of spread on such “first order” networks were shown to be profoundly different compared to epidemics under the traditional mass action assumption. Assortativity, i.e., the preferential mixing of nodes according to degree, is a second order property that is thought to impact epidemic trajectory. We first show how assortative mixing can come about from individual preferences to connect with others of lower or higher degree, and propose an algorithm for constructing such a network. We then investigate via simulation how this network structure favors or inhibits diffusion processes, such as the spread of an infectious disease.","PeriodicalId":12507,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141945749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces a novel method leveraging the Markov transition field (MTF) and Transformer network to improve the precision of cable insulation defect identification and enhance the algorithm's noise resistance. Firstly, the algorithm performs modal transformation on the time series data acquired by the ultrasonic probe through MTF, generating corresponding images. Following this, the image data are input into a pre-trained Transformer network to achieve automated feature extraction. Subsequently, a multi-head attention mechanism is introduced, which assigns weights to the features extracted by the Transformer network, thereby emphasizing the most critical information for the identification task. Finally, more accurate defect identification is achieved based on the weighted features. The results demonstrate that this method achieves higher accuracy and stronger noise resistance compared to traditional image processing and recognition methods, making it a robust solution for cable insulation defect identification.","PeriodicalId":12507,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phantom was irradiated using a photon arc and a horizontal proton beam in combination with a couch rotation of 20°, with three repeated measurements each.

For photon plans, significant deviations of more than 10% were found at the interfaces between phantom material and screw. The proton measurements showed a gradual decrease of 3% across both profiles.

When facing external threats, communication among individuals requires both rapid and effective information exchange to characterize sudden events. In this paper, we introduce the mechanism of emotions into the modeling of dynamics to study collective avoidance behavior in response to threats.Methods: A scenario involving a hidden dynamic threat is constructed to test the avoidance and survival capabilities of the collective when faced with a lack of effective information. By employing the activation and spread of emotion in modeling, the collective may self-organized and adeptly mitigate risks and enhance their own benefits.Results: Through adjustments to the intensity of emotional activation, spread, and decay, rich behaviors emerge. Relying on the regulation of emotion, the collective exhibits different response strategies and action patterns when facing threats, in which the optimal performance from the macroscopic level is expectable.Discussion: By analyzing these phenomena, it can enhance our understanding of the emotional states of collective in response to threats and the methods of controlling in intelligent collective motion.","PeriodicalId":12507,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This similarity affects the prediction accuracy of the deep learning model. In this paper, we propose an illumination method that can mitigate the impact of self-affinity using the two-scale fractal theory as a foundation. This is followed by the establishment of a machine vision detection method that integrates a neural network and correlation function. Initially, a neural network is employed to categorize and forecast the microscopic image of the workpiece surface, thereby determining its roughness category. Subsequently, the corresponding correlation function is determined in accordance with the established roughness category. Finally, the surface roughness of the workpiece was calculated based on the correlation function. The experimental results demonstrate that images obtained using this lighting method exhibit significantly enhanced accuracy in neural network classification. In comparison to traditional lighting methods, the accuracy of this method on the micrometer scale has been found to have significantly increased from approximately 50% to over 95%. Concurrently, the mean squared error (MSE) of the surface roughness calculated by the proposed method does not exceed 0.003, and the mean relative error (MRE) does not exceed 5%. The two-scale fractal geometry offers a novel approach to image processing and machine learning, with significant potential for advancement.","PeriodicalId":12507,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141864172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The activator and inhibitor are synthesized as intermediates of the reaction system in the Turing model. Turing found that spatially periodic stationary concentration patterns are spontaneously generated when the diffusion coefficient of the activator is lower than that of the inhibitor. The first experimental realization of the Turing pattern was achieved in 1990 in a chlorite–iodide–malonic acid (CIMA) reaction system. Iodide and chlorite anions act as the activator and inhibitor of this reaction system, respectively. Although there is no significant difference in the diffusion coefficient of iodide and chlorite anions, the Turing pattern was generated because starch was added to the gel reactor to enhance the color tone. This formed a complex with iodide to inhibit its diffusion to satisfy the condition for the Turing instability. Several examples were found after this finding. We focused on the high affinity of quaternary alkyl ammonium cations to iodide. The CIMA reaction was performed in an open gel reactor by adding a quaternary alkyl ammonium cationic surfactant. In addition, the polymer gel consists of the quaternary alkyl ammonium group as the side chain was utilized for the open gel reactor. The micelles of the surfactants and the polymer gels trapped iodide in their vicinity as a counter anion to lower the effective diffusivity to satisfy the condition for the Turing instability.","PeriodicalId":12507,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141864171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
