OSEF: One-Step Evidence Fusion for Cross-Video Scene Procedure Planning

Video Scene Procedure Planning (VSPP) supplies the target start-goal observations in advance, leaving open how a planner should act when the evidence must itself be retrieved. We introduce Cross-Video Scene Procedure Planning (CVSPP): given an answer-redacted start-goal query and K candidate videos, a model must retrieve the supporting video, localize the relevant window, and predict the action sequence. Two obstacles couple here. Same-task demonstrations share stages and windows, and an early hard selection passes the wrong scene chain to the planner. We build an eleven-source benchmark with typed negative roles, a fail-closed answer-leakage gate, and separate Evidence- and Plan-axis metrics. On its 14 source-horizon cells we adapt nine planner families against a majority-sequence floor. We then present One-Step Evidence Fusion (OSEF), which scores a query-conditioned cell-and-span lattice over all candidates and feeds the full soft lattice to the planner through a token-global adapter, cropping no window beforehand. OSEF ranks first on all six cells the benchmark certifies as method-rankable. On four matched same-task COIN and CrossTask cells it improves exact-video-and-plan success by 2.9-10.7 points over an enhanced hard-selection SOTA, and a component study assigns the largest single increment to the token-global interface. Five converted-source cells sit at or near the majority-sequence floor, the benchmark's remaining headroom. The supplementary package includes model constructors and evaluation code.

Optimized design of a Penning ion source for sealed neutron tube

Sealed neutron tubes have a wide range of applications, and the ion source is their core component. Penning ion sources commonly suffer from issues such as uneven magnetic field distribution and a low proportion of monoatomic ions. Improving the performance of the ion source can effectively address the problems of low neutron flux and short operational lifespan. This study aims to optimise the magnetic field configuration and discharge parameters of the ion source, thereby increasing the proportion of monoatomic and enhancing discharge stability, and to provide a design basis for high-performance sealed neutron tubes. Develop a magnetic field-plasma coupling model to compare and analyze the magnetic field distribution patterns of traditional magnetic block structures and soft iron-reinforced structures, and investigate the mechanisms by which operating pressure and anode voltage affect plasma density and ion composition using COMSOL multiphysics simulation methods. Simulation results indicate that the soft iron structure significantly enhances the axial magnetic field strength and uniformity within the discharge region; under conditions of 0.06 Pa gas pressure and 1500 V anode voltage, the proportion of monoatomic ions increased from the conventional 9% to 30%.

A Method for Neutron-Gamma Pulse Shape Discrimination of CLYC Detector Based on a Gated Residual-Linear Attention Network

The discrimination of neutron and gamma pulse shapes is a key technology in fields such as nuclear safety monitoring and radiation assessment. An enhanced recursive gated cyclic residual-sparse linear attention network is developed on the CLYC detector experimental platform to overcome weak noise resistance, limited feature extraction and inferior real-time performance of conventional algorithms. The experimental dataset comprises 19,971 samples, which were pre-processed and stratified for model training and testing. Results indicate that the proposed algorithm achieves a quality factor of 2.2, with a classification accuracy of 98.7% and a recall rate of 99.4%. It achieves an accuracy of 95.1% under the 20 dB low signal-to-noise ratio condition, exhibiting excellent anti-noise ability.With around 2.8 million parameters, the model takes merely 0.05 ms to process a single pulse on GPU, satisfying real-time monitoring and embedded deployment demands.

Compatibility and Accuracy Verification of CADmesh-Based Complex Geometry Modeling in Geant4

Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation relies on the Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) method for complex geometric modeling. This method has low efficiency and a high application threshold. Importing triangular facet formats such as STL/OBJ via CADmesh is a promising alternative, but systematic evaluations of format compatibility, geometric accuracy, and physical simulation deviations are lacking. Construct open-source experimental environment based on Geant4 11.0, CADmesh 1.3.0 and FreeCAD 1.0. We design high and low precision gradient test cases using simple geometric bodies and complex engineering models, and systematically evaluate the import success rate, facet loss rate, volume error, and particle transport dose deviation for STL and OBJ formats.The results show a 100% import success rate for both formats; the volume error rate is <= 0.018% for high-precision models and <= 0.288% for low-precision models. The two formats share the same vertex facet data structure. This study designs a general adaptive interface. The interface reduces the number of parsing code lines by about 70% and maintains geometric accuracy.Furthermore, the tetrahedral mesh loading takes 3.1 times longer than tessellated solids, but the simulation time can be reduced from 15194.3 s to 77.28 s.

Optimization of target film materials and protective coatings for sealed neutron generator

Magnesium target film has better thermal stability and neutron yield than titanium target, making it a potential neutron generator target film material. The radiation resistance of elemental magnesium targets is relatively weak, and their radiation resistance can be improved by alloying magnesium target films. The irradiation damage of pure magnesium targets and magnesium alloy target films was studied using SRIM. The results indicate that the irradiation damage of magnesium alloy target films (magnesium-niobium, magnesium-zirconium alloys) is lower than that of pure magnesium targets. In addition, under the same alloy ratio, the radiation resistance of magnesium-niobium alloy target film is better than that of magnesium-zirconium alloy. In order to further in-vestigate the performance of magnesium alloy target films, the incident ion energy, protective coatings (nickel oxide, aluminum oxide, palladium oxide), magnesium alloy target films, and alloy doping ratios (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) were changed. After calculating the effects of the above conditions on the neutron generator yield, sputtering yield, and considering irradiation damage, it was determined that a magnesium-zirconium alloy with a doping rate of 0.2 and a nickel oxide protective coating with a thickness of 7.5 nm are potential target film materials for the neutron generator.

Randomized Pairwise Learning with Adaptive Sampling: A PAC-Bayes Analysis

We study stochastic optimization with data-adaptive sampling schemes to train pairwise learning models. Pairwise learning is ubiquitous, and it covers several popular learning tasks such as ranking, metric learning and AUC maximization. A notable difference of pairwise learning from pointwise learning is the statistical dependencies among input pairs, for which existing analyses have not been able to handle in the general setting considered in this paper. To this end, we extend recent results that blend together two algorithm-dependent frameworks of analysis -- algorithmic stability and PAC-Bayes -- which allow us to deal with any data-adaptive sampling scheme in the optimizer. We instantiate this framework to analyze (1) pairwise stochastic gradient descent, which is a default workhorse in many machine learning problems, and (2) pairwise stochastic gradient descent ascent, which is a method used in adversarial training. All of these algorithms make use of a stochastic sampling from a discrete distribution (sample indices) before each update. Non-uniform sampling of these indices has been already suggested in the recent literature, to which our work provides generalization guarantees in both smooth and non-smooth convex problems.

Feature engineering vs. deep learning for paper section identification: Toward applications in Chinese medical literature

Section identification is an important task for library science, especially knowledge management. Identifying the sections of a paper would help filter noise in entity and relation extraction. In this research, we studied the paper section identification problem in the context of Chinese medical literature analysis, where the subjects, methods, and results are more valuable from a physician's perspective. Based on previous studies on English literature section identification, we experiment with the effective features to use with classic machine learning algorithms to tackle the problem. It is found that Conditional Random Fields, which consider sentence interdependency, is more effective in combining different feature sets, such as bag-of-words, part-of-speech, and headings, for Chinese literature section identification. Moreover, we find that classic machine learning algorithms are more effective than generic deep learning models for this problem. Based on these observations, we design a novel deep learning model, the Structural Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (SLSTM) model, which models word and sentence interdependency together with the contextual information. Experiments on a human-curated asthma literature dataset show that our approach outperforms the traditional machine learning methods and other deep learning methods and achieves close to 90% precision and recall in the task. The model shows good potential for use in other text mining tasks. The research has significant methodological and practical implications.

Reinforcement Learning-Based Joint Self-Optimisation Method for the Fuzzy Logic Handover Algorithm in 5G HetNets

5G heterogeneous networks (HetNets) can provide higher network coverage and system capacity to the user by deploying massive small base stations (BSs) within the 4G macro system. However, the large-scale deployment of small BSs significantly increases the complexity and workload of network maintenance and optimisation. The current handover (HO) triggering mechanism A3 event was designed only for mobility management in the macro system. Directly implementing A3 in 5G-HetNets may degrade the user mobility robustness. Motivated by the concept of self-organisation networks (SON), this study developed a self-optimised triggering mechanism to enable automated network maintenance and enhance user mobility robustness in 5G-HetNets. The proposed method integrates the advantages of subtractive clustering and Q-learning frameworks into the conventional fuzzy logic-based HO algorithm (FLHA). Subtractive clustering is first adopted to generate a membership function (MF) for the FLHA to enable FLHA with the self-configuration feature. Subsequently, Q-learning is utilised to learn the optimal HO policy from the environment as fuzzy rules that empower the FLHA with a self-optimisation function. The FLHA with SON functionality also overcomes the limitations of the conventional FLHA that must rely heavily on professional experience to design. The simulation results show that the proposed self-optimised FLHA can effectively generate MF and fuzzy rules for the FLHA. By comparing with conventional triggering mechanisms, the proposed approach can decrease the HO, ping-pong HO, and HO failure ratios by approximately 91%, 49%, and 97.5% while improving network throughput and latency by 8% and 35%, respectively.
