Domain-adaptive neural networks improve supervised machine learning based on simulated population genetic data. by Ziyi Mo, Adam Siepel

“…Here, we show that this "simulation mis-specification" problem can be framed as a "domain adaptation" problem, where a model learned from one data distribution is applied to a dataset drawn from a different distribution. By applying an established domain-adaptation technique based on a gradient reversal layer (GRL), originally introduced for image classification, we show that the effects of simulation mis-specification can be substantially mitigated. …”

An Experimental Study Examining the Size Effect on the Compressive Dynamic Performance of Nuclear Power Containment Concrete by Furong Li, Guoxing Chen, Hui Long

“…Based on the comparative analysis of experiment results, the following conclusions can be drawn: the effect of loading strain rate has caused NPCC to develop from static strain rate, mainly cement cementitious layer damage and uniform distribution of cracks, to dynamic strain rate, where there are partial coarse aggregate failures and oblique cracks as the main crack distribution. …”

Climate Comfort Changes and Its Response to Meteorological Factors in Liaoning Province by CAO Yongqiang, ZHAO Hui, LI Kexin, YANG Xueting, ZHOU Shuhan

“…Climate comfort is a bio-meteorological index developed to evaluate the comfort state of the human body under different weather/climate conditions from a meteorological perspective,and it is an important factor affecting human activities and the living environment.In this paper,the comfort index of the human body (CIHB) and the corresponding numbers of comfortable days of different grades in Liaoning Province were counted on the basis of the observation data of 23 meteorological stations in Liaoning Province for many years,and the influences of meteorological factors on human body comfort in various environments were analyzed.The following conclusions can be drawn from the results:① In the past 55 years,the meteorological factors in Liaoning Province showed an overall trend of increasing temperature,decreasing wind speed,and decreasing humidity.② Over those years,the annual province-wide number of comfortable days is 7~8 months,and the whole province is within the comfortable range in June.The average CIHB of the province for the 55 years is 45.2.③ The frequency of comfortable days is highest in summer and lowest in winter.The variation of CIHB days indicates that CIHB is more affected by meteorological factors in summer than in winter.④ The meteorological factor most closely correlated with the comfort index is temperature,with a correlation coefficient as high as 0.894.In contrast,wind speed and relative humidity are negatively correlated with it,although relative humidity is the one most weakly correlated with the index among them.…”
