Nevertheless, the stability of arc sound signals is suboptimal, the conventional feature extraction methods are inefficient, and the significance of arc sound attributes for determining penetration statuses is often overlooked. In this study, a compact convolutional neural network (CNN) model is proposed for the adaptive extraction of features from arc sound signals. The model uses the Mel spectrum diagram of an arc sound signal obtained through a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and a Mel filter bank conversion step as its input. To improve the recognition capabilities of the model, a novel CNN-selective kernel (SK) model for weld penetration recognition is introduced, which integrates the dynamic selection kernel network (SKNet) into the CNN architecture. The experimental results indicate that the CNN-SK model outperforms the traditional models, achieving an accuracy of 98.83% on the validation dataset.

We focused on the night singing of two diurnal songbirds-the yellowhammer and the common chaffinch that are widely distributed in Europe. We conducted day and night playback experiments, during which we broadcast songs of an unfamiliar male to the territory holder at two different stages of the breeding season, to examine whether the night singing in species which normally do not sing at night elicits responses from their conspecifics. We hypothesized that if nocturnal singing had no function, birds would ignore the night-time playback and respond only to the daytime intrusion. Otherwise, a response to the night-time playback would suggest that night singing may increase reproductive success but is limited by ecological factors. We found that, in contrast to the diurnal experiment, neither species responded vocally to the nocturnal playback. In yellowhammers, the probability of flights was higher during and after the playback than before it. This pattern was similar both during the day and night and did not differ between the stages of the season. For the common chaffinches, the probability of flight was low at night and constant across treatments, in contrast to the day when we observed more flights during the playback stage than before and after it. The playback of either species' songs at night caused the approach of predators, which was not observed during the day. The observed discrepancy in the probability of flights between the species suggests that nocturnal singing is a functional trait that affects other individuals in a specific context. Nocturnal singing does not seem to be a simple behaviour that extends during the day; it is a complex mechanism potentially dependent on specific conditions related to intraspecific communication, predatory pressure, local female access, or species' evolutionary history. We emphasise that those ecological and evolutionary factors need to be taken into account to understand this phenomenon widely.</p>","PeriodicalId":20189,"journal":{"name":"PLoS ONE","volume":"19 11","pages":"e0313427"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142716711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the increase of σ2 inhibits the deformation in the σ2 direction of coal and sandstone, promotes the expansion and deformation in the σ3 direction, and enhances its peak strength and elastic modulus. The development characteristics of internal cracks in rock mass are directly related to the stress environment, and the increase of σ2 promotes the increase of the proportion of coal RA value, weakens the proportion of sandstone RA value, aggravates the development of coal internal shear cracks, and inhibits the development of internal shear cracks in sandstone. The larger σ2, the greater the initial AE ringing count of coal and sandstone, and the greater the AE cumulative energy when the rock mass is finally damaged. At the same time, due to the self-organizing behavior in the process of crystal failure in sandstone, the cumulative energy curve of sandstone fluctuates in a step-like manner.

Nearly all species, particularly Stylophora pistillata and Pocillopora damicornis, responded more negatively to the 2015 heatwave in terms of colony-specific discoloration and reduction in live planar area. While discoloration was more prominent at the shallower reef terrace compared to the fore reef for this subset of colonies, the reef terrace exhibited greater stability of community-wide coral cover. Colony fate was associated with severity of discoloration at the time of warming: one year following the 2009 heatwave, more severely discolored colonies were more likely to grow, yet following the second heatwave in 2015, colonies were more likely to experience shrinkage or mortality.

Medication adherence is the first and most important factor for better treatment outcomes. Non-adherence to psychotropic medications is associated with relapse, readmission, and early death. Psychological factors are among the common factors associated with non-adherence. Specific personality traits moderate the beliefs about medication that influence non-adherence to medications. Sociodemographic and clinical factors can also influence non-adherence to psychotropic medications. Non-adherence to psychotropic medications is high in Africa. Still, to the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of studies on the level of psychotropic medication non-adherence and associated personality traits. The aim was to determine the prevalence of psychotropic medication non-adherence and associated personality traits among people with mental illness attending Kampala International University Teaching Hospital (KIU-TH) and Jinja Regional Referral Hospital (JRRH). This study employed a hospital-based cross-sectional design. 396 adult patients suffering from mental illness were collected from KIU-TH and JRRH outpatient clinics. Medication adherence was assessed using the Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) while personality traits were assessed by the short form of the Big Five Inventory (Ten Items Personality Inventory). In our study, we first assessed sociodemographic and clinical factors influencing psychotropic medication non-adherence (confounders). A questionnaire with sociodemographic information was also used. Logistic regression was used to assess personality traits and other factors associated with psychotropic medication non-adherence.
