As a sustainable transformation of urbanization, it is unclear whether China's new-type urbanization (NTU) can promote the collaborative governance of carbon reduction (CR) and pollution control (PC). Based on the data of China's five major urban agglomerations, this study constructed a systematic framework consisting of synergy measurement, relationship exploration and driver analysis to reveal the synergy between CR and PC in the process of NTU. The results indicated that with the steady growth of CR and PC, the coupling coordination degree of the two increased from 0.6457 to 0.9030 in 2014-2022, upgrading from primary synergy to excellent synergy. From the perspective of decoupling, all urban agglomerations improved the relationship between NTU and CR/ PC with 89 and 92 cities exhibiting the state of strong decoupling, respectively, but there were differences in the decoupling types of cities within each subsystem of NTU. Overall, NTU and its subsystems significantly drove the synergy between CR and PC, while the driving effects presented a spatial heterogeneity. The Yangtze River Delta was the only urban agglomeration that fulfilled the driving effects of all subsystems of NTU. These findings provide theoretical and empirical values for taking advantage of NTU to mitigate climate change and optimize air quality.

With the impact of global climate change and the continuous increase in energy consumption, the thermal energy regulation of indoor environments has become an important issue in the field of architectural design. This article aims to explore the application of intelligent control systems based on BIM (Building Information modeling) visualization in indoor thermal energy regulation, and propose a dynamic building design scheme to optimize indoor comfort and energy efficiency. The study pointed out the shortcomings of existing indoor environmental conditioning systems in terms of flexibility and energy efficiency. On this basis, an intelligent control system based on BIM visualization was designed, whose framework and functions include real-time data collection, analysis, and feedback to enhance the system's control capabilities. Real time monitoring and optimization adjustment of indoor environment have been achieved through BIM visualization design method. The system test results show that the intelligent control system significantly improves efficiency in thermal energy regulation and reduces energy consumption. In order to further promote the energy-saving design of dynamic buildings, this project studied the process of dynamic building design, including the integration of environmental analysis and user needs. At the same time, a method for dynamic building environment optimization control was proposed, which achieved comprehensive management of building energy consumption through joint simulation of daylighting energy consumption. This study indicates that dynamic building design can effectively respond to environmental changes and improve the overall energy efficiency of buildings.

The filling power of cut tobacco is a crucial indicator for evaluating the overall quality of cigarette products. Rapid, effective, and accurate online analysis of tobacco filling power is quite essential for product quality control. In this study, a total of 1023 real online cut tobacco samples, including the flue-cured and sun-cured types, were collected and analyzed in a specific intermediate process of cigarette production. Subsequently, model analysis of tobacco filling power was conducted using near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy combined with the proposed dynamic modeling (DM) strategy. Results showed the determination coefficient (R2) of the optimal dynamic model exceeded 0.90, the ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) was over 3, and the prediction error of 95 % testing samples ranged from- 0.179-0.168 cm3/g. Overall results demonstrated that the dynamic model based on NIR diffuse reflectance data can accurately analyze the filling power of cut tobacco online. The proposed method has proven to pose a significant potential for monitoring important indicators of tobacco products.

While conducting large-depth vertical drilling, correcting well trajectory deviations is a critical and challenging task. Designing a feasible deviation-correction trajectory becomes an expensive constrained multi-objective optimization problem due to the need for refined modeling of large-depth wellbore stability analysis. There is a pressing need for advanced drilling trajectory planning methods designed to handle robust constraints and to consider refined geological formation modeling, as current surrogate model-assisted optimization algorithms lack efficiency and balance among feasibility, convergence, and diversity. A Gaussian process-assisted Bayesian Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) based on the reference point-based Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-III) is developed to manage the expensive wellbore stability objective. While surrogate models can effectively mitigate the computational expense, they may not adequately satisfy the stringent trajectory planning constraints. To enhance the constraint handling ability, an intricately devised infill criterion, Feasibility-oriented Bi-objective Acquisition Function (FBAF), tends to select promising feasible solutions to infill into the next generation. The deviation-correction trajectory planning simulation experiment was carried out under limited evaluations with real vertical well data. The results of empirical attainment function analysis demonstrate that the proposed FB-NSGA-III reduces the number of evaluations and exhibits superior performance compared to 11 other traditional surrogate-assisted MOEAs, particularly in terms of feasibility. FB-NSGA-III successfully prevents the back-hook by avoiding constraint violations and maintaining curvature within the specified safety and directional drilling tool build-up range.

Disentangled representation learning aims at obtaining an independent latent representation without supervisory signals. However, the independence of a representation does not guarantee interpretability to match human intuition in the unsupervised settings. In this article, we introduce conceptual representation learning, an unsupervised strategy to learn a representation and its concepts. An antonym pair forms a concept, which determines the semantically meaningful axes in the latent space. Since the connection between signifying words and signified notions is arbitrary in natural languages, the verbalization of data features makes the representation make sense to humans. We thus construct Conceptual VAE (ConcVAE), a variational autoencoder (VAE)-based generative model with an explicit process in which the semantic representation of data is generated via trainable concepts. In visual data, ConcVAE utilizes natural language arbitrariness as an inductive bias of unsupervised learning by using a vision-language pretraining, which can tell an unsupervised model what makes sense to humans. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations show that the conceptual inductive bias in ConcVAE effectively disentangles the latent representation in a sense-making manner without supervision.

Epileptic seizure propagation is a dynamic process that can be triggered by local abnormal discharges, leading to widespread network abnormalities in the brain. Understanding the causal relationship between the changes in brain network characteristics and the diverse propagation dynamics of epileptic seizures is crucial. We gather stereo-EEG data from 17 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and utilize cross-channel phase amplitude coupling to extract the dynamic functional networks. Further, the patterns of brain network changes during seizure in patients with different surgeries are assessed using Hidden Markov Model. And characteristics of state transitions under different seizure periods are explored. Results show that the frequency of state transitions increases with seizures, and all epilepsy patients have a main state network with weakly connected network structure centered on the epileptogenic zone. The occupancy ratio of main state is inversely proportional to state transition frequency, where the emergence of strongly connected networks facilitates the seizure propagation. Variability in state characteristics is observed cross patients with different surgeries. The heterogeneous epileptor network model driven by the state transition is developed to simulate seizure propagation. Results show that state transition frequency and relationships affect seizure onset time and spread range. Under the main state network, seizures occur only in the epileptogenic zone and do not propagate to surrounding regions. Additionally, increasing the proportion of the main state network delays the onset of seizures. This suggests that the characteristics of the state network and its transitions may play a role in controlling the propagation of epileptic seizures.

Near-infrared (NIR) technology has gained wide acceptance in practical processes and is now the measurement of choice in many sectors. However, with increasing spectral dimensionality, it is challenging to establish a prediction model with satisfactory stability and generalization. Stochastic configuration networks (SCNs) based on supervisory learning mechanism have demonstrated significant advantages in developing nonlinear learners. However, existing incremental learning strategies make it difficult to achieve fast convergence while obtaining a suitable-scale network in high-dimensional spectra modeling. In addition, the linear or regularization weight estimation methods are vulnerable to outliers and noise in NIR analysis. To accelerate model construction and improve model performance in high-dimensional spectra analysis, the adaptive robust SCN (AR-SCN) algorithm is proposed in this work, which can perform adaptive incremental learning according to the prediction residual and robustly estimate the output weights by the global-local shrinkage strategy. Comparison results on three benchmark NIR datasets and real-world gasoline blending process verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Compared with the state-of-the-art SCNs, the AR-SCN method can simultaneously improve the construction efficiency and robustness of SCNs.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are widely used for modeling complex data. However, the dynamics of the gradient descent-ascent (GDA) algorithms, often used for training GANs, have been notoriously difficult to analyze. We study these dynamics in the case where the discriminator is kernel-based and the true distribution consists of discrete points in Euclidean space. Prior works have analyzed the GAN dynamics in such scenarios via simple linearization close to the equilibrium. In this work, we show that linearized analysis can be grossly inaccurate, even at moderate distances from the equilibrium. We then propose an alternative non-linear yet tractable second moment model. The proposed model predicts the convergence behavior well and reveals new insights about the role of the kernel width on convergence rate, not apparent in the linearized analysis. These insights suggest certain shapes of the kernel offer both fast local convergence and improved global convergence. We corroborate our theoretical results through simulations.
