Recently, in the area of artificial intelligence and machine learning, subspace clustering of multi-view data is a research hotspot. The goal is to divide data samples from different sources into different groups. We proposed a new subspace clustering method for multi-view data which termed as Non-negative Sparse Laplacian regularized Latent Multi-view Subspace Clustering (NSL2MSC) in this paper. The method proposed in this paper learns the latent space representation of multi view data samples, and performs the data reconstruction on the latent space. The algorithm can cluster data in the latent representation space and use the relationship of different views. However, the traditional representation-based method does not consider the non-linear geometry inside the data, and may lose the local and similar information between the data in the learning process. By using the graph regularization method, we can not only capture the global low dimensional structural features of data, but also fully capture the nonlinear geometric structure information of data. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and its performance is better than most of the existing alternatives.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Three-dimensional textile fabrics are used as the reinforcing phase of the textile structural composites, and their geometry affect the physical and mechanical properties of composites. Based on the curvature and directions of the fiber tows in three-dimensional textile fabrics, four representative geometric units are proposed, namely, the orthogonal geometric unit, the curved geometric unit, the skew geometric unit, and the uniform distribution unit, respectively. Other units are the combinations or derivations of these representative geometric units. The relationship and performance characteristics of these representative geometric units are discussed in section “The relationship of RGUs.” The structural features of three-dimensional textile fabrics are illustrated on the mesoscopic scale, and the models are established to predict the geometric properties. The concepts of fabrics with stable structure, flexible structure, elastoplastic structure, and uniform structure are proposed. The fiber volume fractions and elastic characteristics of different structural fabrics are discussed. The classification of three-dimensional textile fabrics is conducive to investigate the relationship between geometry and property, forming a technical system and providing a theoretical basis for the selection of three-dimensional structural textile composites with different performance.

AbstractMacrofabric (stone orientation) and microfabric studies of the four tills exposed in the coastal areas of East Yorkshire indicate that the regional direction of ice movement during both the Saale and Weichsel Glaciations was from north-east to south-west. The Saale (Basement) Till was considerably modified by the advance of ice during the Weichsel Glaciation; in particular, the stones in the Basement were reorientated so that their long axes now lie at right angles to the direction of movement of the Weichsel ice sheet. The fabrics of the three Weichsel tills (Drab, Purple and Hessle) are alike, and it is suggested that all three were deposited from one composite ice sheet. The relationship of vertical joints in the Basement and Drab Tills to directions of ice movement is discussed; those in the Basement possibly originated as ac tension joints inherited from the parent ice, whereas some of those in the Drab are probably conjugate shear joints formed during post-depositional deformation of the till.

For over two decades, there have been calls to assess the relationship of the features of teacher preparation programs to teacher effectiveness, to provide guidance for program improvement. At the middle grades level, theory suggests that coursework in educational psychology is particularly important for teacher effectiveness. Using 4 years of data from 15 middle grades teacher preparation programs, this study estimates the relationship of their structural features, that is required elements of coursework and fieldwork, to student achievement gains in math and English/Language Arts. Findings suggest that few requirements are positively associated with achievement gains.

Trees are complicated and important organisms in forest ecosystem. They are both carbon stocks and carbon source. In order to give full play to the role of wood carbon sequestration, this paper discussed the relationship of wood structural features and wood carbon sequestration at micro-level. It shows that wood carbon sequestration can be synthetically reflected by vessel, tracheid/xylon, wood rays, intercellular canal, xylem parenchyma and so on. The rate of cell wall and wood carbon sequestration is the relationship of direct proportional function. Micro-structural characteristics of wood can reflect wood carbon sequestration of forest ecosystems, as well as have a practical guide to enhance carbon storage of wood.

AbstractProtein sequences contain rich information about protein evolution, fitness landscapes, and stability. Here we investigate how latent space models trained using variational auto-encoders can infer these properties from sequences. Using both simulated and real sequences, we show that the low dimensional latent space representation of sequences, calculated using the encoder model, captures both evolutionary and ancestral relationships between sequences. Together with experimental fitness data and Gaussian process regression, the latent space representation also enables learning the protein fitness landscape in a continuous low dimensional space. Moreover, the model is also useful in predicting protein mutational stability landscapes and quantifying the importance of stability in shaping protein evolution. Overall, we illustrate that the latent space models learned using variational auto-encoders provide a mechanism for exploration of the rich data contained in protein sequences regarding evolution, fitness and stability and hence are well-suited to help guide protein engineering efforts.

AbstractElectrical conductivities (κs) of molten DyCl3-NaCl and DyCl3-KCl systems were estimated by measuring the impedances of each mixture melt at any temperature and/or frequency. The molar volumes (Vms) were measured by dilatometry and represented as a polynomial empirical equation of temperature and composition. Due to both the properties, the molar conductivities (Λms) were calculated and their temperature and/or composition dependences were discussed from the standpoint of structural features as well. The κs increased curvilinearly with increasing temperature across the whole composition ranges. This trend was also applied to the Λms which was fitted by an Arrhenius-type equation. The relationship of Λms with melt composition was studied and the Λms were found to decrease with increasing composition of DyCl3. These findings were interpreted based on the results of structural science so far reported, and finally, the relationship between Λms and the structures of pure rare earth chloride melts was discussed.

AbstractWe study the dynamics of classical localization in a simple, one-dimensional model of a tracking chamber. The emitted particle is represented by a superposition of Gaussian wave packets moving in opposite directions, and the detectors are two spins in fixed, opposite positions with respect to the central emitter. At variance with other similar studies, we give here a phase-space representation of the dynamics in terms of the Wigner matrix of the system. This allows a better visualization of the phenomenon and helps in its interpretation. In particular, we discuss the relationship of the localization process with the properties of entanglement possessed by the system.

Aim. To assess the size of the alveolar ridge / part of the jaws in patients with gnathic mesial occlusion of the dentition.Materials and methods. A study was carried out, during which we determined the structural features of the alveolar ridge of the upper and lower jaws of 50 adult patients (from 18 to 44 years old), and also studied the presence / absence of the relationship of this parameter with the inclination of the teeth.Results. The smallest thickness of the alveolar bone in the upper jaw was observed in the area of the mesio-buccal root of the first molars and in the area of the first premolars and canines. The smallest thickness of the alveolar bone in the lower jaw was observed in the area of the vestibular surface of the first and second premolars, canines and incisors. The greatest thickness of the alveolar bone is observed in the distal-buccal region of the second molars.Conclusions. A natural mechanism promotes dentoalveolar compensation, while maintaining the amount of bone in the region of the vestibular and lingual alveolar bones to maintain the integrity of the periodontium.
