    Abstract Over extended periods of natural and artificial selection, China has developed numerous exceptional pig breeds. Deciphering the germplasm characteristics of these breeds is crucial for their preservation and utilization. While many studies have employed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis to investigate the local pig germplasm characteristics, copy number variation (CNV), another significant type of genetic variation, has been less explored in understanding pig resources. In this study, we examined the CNVs of 18 Wanbei pigs (WBP) using whole genome resequencing data with an average depth of 12.61. We identified a total of 8,783 CNVs (~30.07 Mb, 1.20% of the pig genome) in WBP, including 8,427 deletions and 356 duplications. Utilizing fixation index (Fst), we determined that 164 CNVs were within the top 1% of the Fst value and defined as under selection. Functional enrichment analyses of the genes associated with these selected CNVs revealed genes linked to reproduction (

    Abstract ABSTRACTThe constant need for decarbonization has led to the replacement of artificial light at night (ALAN) with light-emitting diodes (LEDs), inducing blue light pollution and its consequent adverse effects. As a result, there is an urgent need for the development of a technique for the rapid, accurate, and large-scale discrimination of the various illumination sources. The newly launched Sustainable Development Science Satellite-1 (SDGSAT-1) can play this role by supplementing the existing nighttime light data with multispectral and high-resolution features. Along these lines, in this work, a novel approach to identify various types of illumination sources using machine learning in SDGSAT-1 images was proposed, taking Beijing as a worked example. The results indicate that: (1) The method can effectively distinguish the various types of light sources with an overall accuracy of 0.92 for ALAN and 0.95 for streetlights. (2) The illumination patterns can be clearly depicted, indicating distinct spatial heterogeneity in ALAN along Beijing’s 5th Ring Road. (3) Statistically significant disparities between road classes and streetlight types were detected, with a notable increase in LED streetlight usage as the road class diminishes. This work emphasizes the crucial role of SDGSAT-1 in analysing ALAN, providing valuable insights in urban lighting management.

    Abstract With the implementation of deep-market-oriented reforms in China, an accurate interpretation of the effect and transmission mechanism of the marketization of industrial land transfer on carbon emission reduction can provide references for further elevating the role of land policy in China’s low-carbon economic transition. Based on the balanced panel data of China’s provincial level from 2009 to 2020, this paper uses carbon emission intensity to quantify emission reduction targets, and studies the effects of the marketization of industrial land transfer on regional carbon emission intensity, as well as its internal mechanism, by describing the typical characteristics. Moreover, this paper analyzes the moderating role of environmental governance and conducts area heterogeneity analysis. The main results show that (1) the marketization of industrial land transfer can significantly reduce regional carbon emission intensity, and the negative effect is stronger in the mid-west compared with the effect in the east. (2) Environmental governance can play a positive moderating role in the relationship between the marketization of industrial land transfer and the carbon emission intensity. (3) Industry selection is the internal mechanism by which the effect of the marketization of industrial land transfer on regional carbon emission intensity operates, and the mechanism is represented more prominently in the mid-west. The main conclusions provide inspiration for land policy regulation in relation to carbon emission reduction. China’s local governments should implement specific strategies to improve the market-based operation mechanism of land, attracting industries with high energy efficiency and low carbon emissions, and strengthening the intensity of environmental governance.

    Abstract Strain-induced precipitation (SIP) behaviors of 7Mo super-austenitic stainless steel (SASS) under various deformation conditions were studied by stress relaxation tests. The research demonstrates that sigma phases are the primary SIP phases of 7Mo SASS. Generally, SIP is mainly distributed in granular shape at the boundaries of deformed grains or recrystallized grains, as well as around the deformed microstructure, such as deformation twin layers/matrix interfaces. The variation of deformation parameters can lead to changes in microstructure, therefore influencing the distribution of SIP. For instance, with the temperature increases, the SIP distribution gradually evolves from deformed grain boundaries to recrystallized grain boundaries. The average size of SIP increases with increasing temperature and strain, as well as decreasing strain rate. The SIP content also increases with increasing strain and decreasing strain rate, while exhibiting an initial rise followed by a decline with increasing temperature, reaching its maximum value at 850 °C. The presence of SIP can promote recrystallization by particle-induced nucleation (PSN) mechanism during the hot deformation process. Moreover, the boundaries of these recrystallized grains can also serve as nucleation sites for SIP, therefore promoting SIP. This process can be simplified as SIP→PSNRecrystallization→Nucleation sitesSIP. With the increase in holding time and the consumption of stored energy, the process gradually slows down, leading to the formation of a multi-layer structure, namely SIPs/Recrystallized grains/SIPs structure. Moreover, SIP at recrystallized grain boundaries can hinder the growth of recrystallized grains. Through this study, a comprehensive understanding of the SIP behaviors in 7Mo SASS under different deformation conditions has been achieved, as well as the interaction between SIP and recrystallization. This finding provides valuable insights for effective control or regulation of SIP and optimizing the hot working processes of 7Mo SASS.

    Abstract Super austenitic stainless steels are expected to replace expensive alloys in harsh environments due to their superior corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. However, the ultra-high alloy contents drive serious segregation in cast steels, where the σ phase is difficult to eliminate. In this study, the microstructural evolution of 7Mo super austenitic stainless steels under different homogenization methods was investigated. The results showed that after isothermal treatment for 30 h at 1250 °C, the σ phase in steels dissolved, while the remelting morphologies appeared at the phase boundaries. Therefore, the stepped solution heat treatment was further conducted to optimize the homogenized microstructure. The samples were heated up to 1220 °C, 1235 °C and 1250 °C with a slow heating rate, and held at these temperatures for 2 h, respectively. The elemental segregation was greatly reduced without incipient remelting and the σ phase was eventually reduced to less than 0.6%. A prolonged incubation below the dissolution temperature will lead to a spontaneous compositional adjustment of the eutectic σ phase, resulting in uphill diffusion of Cr and Mn, and reducing the homogenization efficiency of ISHT, which is avoided by SSHT. The hardness reduced from 228~236 Hv to 220~232 Hv by adopting the cooling process of "furnace cooling + water quench". In addition, the study noticed that increasing the Ce content or decreasing the Mn content can both refine the homogenized grain size and accelerate diffusion processes. This study provides a theoretical and experimental basis for the process and composition optimization of super austenitic stainless steels.

    Abstract Because of the connection constraints of quantum devices, the quantum gate cannot operate directly on nonadjacent qubits. Quantum circuit mapping transforms a logical quantum circuit to a circuit that satisfies the connection constraints by adding SWAP gates for nonadjacent qubits. Global and local heuristic reordering strategies are proposed in this paper for quantum circuit mapping over linear nearest neighbor (LNN) architectures, which are one-dimensional topology structures, to reduce the number of SWAP gates added. Experiment results show that the average improvements of the two methods are 13.19% and 15.46%, respectively. In this paper, we consider the quantum circuit mapping problem for linear nearest neighbor (LNN) architectures. We propose a global heuristic qubit reordering optimization algorithm and a local heuristic qubit reordering optimization algorithm. Compared with the other algorithm results, the average improvements of the two methods for quantum cost are 13.19% and 15.46%, respectively. The two methods apply to the realization of quantum circuit neighboring over one-dimensional quantum architectures and can be extended to algorithms that work for other quantum architectures of different topologies.

    Abstract In this article, we propose a novel method to simultaneously solve the data problem of dirty quality and poor quantity for person reidentification (ReID). Dirty quality refers to the wrong labels in image annotations. Poor quantity means that some identities have very few images (FewIDs). Training with these mislabeled data or FewIDs with triplet loss will lead to low generalization performance. To solve the label error problem, we propose a weighted label correction based on cross-entropy (wLCCE) strategy. Specifically, according to the influence range of the wrong labels, we first classify the mislabeled images into point label error and set label error. Then, we propose a weighted triplet loss (WTL) to correct the two label errors, respectively. To alleviate the poor quantity issue, we propose a feature simulation based on autoencoder (FSAE) method to generate some virtual samples for FewID. For the authenticity of the simulated features, we transfer the difference pattern of identities with multiple images (MultIDs) to FewIDs by training an autoencoder (AE)-based simulator. In this way, the FewIDs obtain richer expressions to distinguish from other identities. By dealing with a dirty and poor data problem, we can learn more robust ReID models using the triplet loss. We conduct extensive experiments on two public person ReID datasets: 1) Market-1501 and 2) DukeMTMC-reID, to verify the effectiveness of our approach.

    Abstract Abstract The drilling pressure relief technology is an effective way to reduce the accumulation of elastic energy in the tunnel envelope, which can reduce the risk of regional ground pressure occurrence. However, there is a lack of theoretical guidance on which drilling parameter has the greatest degree of influence on the effectiveness of pressure relief. The uniaxial compression tests were conducted to study the relationships between drilling parameters (the diameter, depth, and spacing) and the mechanical properties and deformation modulus of specimens. The results show that: (1) The drilling diameter (DDR) and drilling depth (DDH) of single-hole specimens negatively correlate with the peak-failure strength and deformation modulus, while the drilling spacing (DS) of double-hole specimens positively correlates with the peak-failure strength and deformation modulus. It shows that the borehole diameter has a more significant effect on the decompression effect. (2) With the help of the Grey Relational Analysis, the factors affecting the peak-failure strength and deformation modulus of the drilled specimens were ranked in significance. From the largest to the smallest, they are DDR, followed by DDH and DS. (3) The role of the pressure relief mechanism is to transfer the high stress in the shallow part of the roadway to the deep part, reduce the peak strength of destruction and deformation modulus of the peripheral rock in the drilled section, so that the characteristics of the mechanical behavior of the rock are significantly weakened, and the range of the area of the drilled hole decompression is enlarged. During the loading of the borehole, the borehole stress field dominates in the early stage, and cracking starts near the borehole along the direction perpendicular to the direction of maximum principal stress (horizontal direction). In the later stage, the maximum principal stress field dominates and vertical cracks with large widths appear. During crack expansion, the plastic energy dissipation effect is ...
