文摘The growing incidence of cyberattacks necessitates a robust and effective Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)for enhanced network security.While conventional IDSs can be unsuitable for detecting different and emerging attacks,there is a demand for better techniques to improve detection reliability.This study introduces a new method,the Deep Adaptive Multi-Layer Attention Network(DAMLAN),to boost the result of intrusion detection on network data.Due to its multi-scale attention mechanisms and graph features,DAMLAN aims to address both known and unknown intrusions.The real-world NSL-KDD dataset,a popular choice among IDS researchers,is used to assess the proposed model.There are 67,343 normal samples and 58,630 intrusion attacks in the training set,12,833 normal samples,and 9711 intrusion attacks in the test set.Thus,the proposed DAMLAN method is more effective than the standard models due to the consideration of patterns by the attention layers.The experimental performance of the proposed model demonstrates that it achieves 99.26%training accuracy and 90.68%testing accuracy,with precision reaching 98.54%on the training set and 96.64%on the testing set.The recall and F1 scores again support the model with training set values of 99.90%and 99.21%and testing set values of 86.65%and 91.37%.These results provide a strong basis for the claims made regarding the model’s potential to identify intrusion attacks and affirm its relatively strong overall performance,irrespective of type.Future work would employ more attempts to extend the scalability and applicability of DAMLAN for real-time use in intrusion detection systems.

文摘This paper studies the vibration responses of porous functionally graded(FG)thin plates with four various types of porous distribution based on the physical neutral plane by employing the peridynamic differential operator(PDDO).It is assumed that density and elastic modulus continuously vary along the transverse direction following the power law distribution for porous FG plates.The governing differential equation of free vibration for a porous rectangular FG plate and its associated boundary conditions are expressed by a Lévy-type solution based on nonlinear von Karman plate theory.Dimensionless frequencies and mode shapes are obtained after solving the characteristic equations established by PDDO.The results of the current method are validated through comparison with existing literature.The effects of geometric parameters,material properties,elastic foundation,porosity distribution,and boundary conditions on the frequency are investigated and discussed in detail.The highest fundamental dimensionless frequency occurs under SCSC boundary conditions,while the lowest is under SFSF boundary conditions.The porous FG plate with the fourth pore type,featuring high density of porosity at the top and low at the bottom,exhibits the highest fundamental frequency under SSSS,SFSF,and SCSC boundary conditions.The dimensionless frequency increases with an increase in the elastic foundation stiffness coefficient.

文摘Foundation models(FMs)have rapidly evolved and have achieved signicant accomplishments in computer vision tasks.Specically,the prompt mechanism conveniently allows users to integrate image prior information into the model,making it possible to apply models without any training.Therefore,we proposed a workflow based on foundation models and zero training to solve the tasks of photoacoustic(PA)image processing.We employed the Segment Anything Model(SAM)by setting simple prompts and integrating the model's outputs with prior knowledge of the imaged objects to accomplish various tasks,including:(1)removing the skin signal in three-dimensional PA image rendering;(2)dual speed-of-sound reconstruction,and(3)segmentation ofnger blood vessels.Through these demonstrations,we have concluded that FMs can be directly applied in PA imaging without the requirement for network design and training.This potentially allows for a hands-on,convenient approach to achieving efficient and accurate segmentation of PA images.This paper serves as a comprehensive tutorial,facilitating the mastery of the technique through the provision of code and sample datasets.
文摘The M-shaped multi-row pile foundation retaining structure represents an enhanced version of conventional multi-row anti-sliding support systems.To date,the implementation of M-shaped pile configurations in foundation pit excavations has not been extensively investigated,with particularly scant research focusing on their load-bearing mechanisms and stress redistribution characteristics.Furthermore,numerical modeling methodologies for such geometrically optimized pile networks remain underdeveloped compared to practical engineering applications,creating a notable research-practice gap in geotechnical engineering.A comparative finite element analysis was systematically conducted using ABAQUS software to establish three distinct excavation support configurations:single-row cantilever retaining structures,three-row cantilever configurations,and M-shaped multi-row pile foundation systems.Subsequent numerical simulations enabled quantitative comparisons of critical performance indicators,including pile stress distribution patterns,lateral displacement profiles,and bending moment diagrams across different structural typologies.The parametric investigation revealed characteristic mechanical responses associated with each configuration,establishing corresponding mechanical principles governing the interaction between pile topology and soil-structure behavior towers.The findings of this study provide critical references for the design optimization of M-shaped multi-row pile foundation retaining systems.

文摘The coastal region of Fujian contains numerous existing stone masonry structures,many of which are constructed on soft soil sites.Previous studies have shown that the soil-structure interaction(SSI)effect on soft soil foundations can prolong the structure's natural vibration period and enhance its seismic response.We develops a soilstructure interaction system model and a comparative rigid foundation model using the finite element software LS-DYNA to investigate the impact of SSI on the dynamic characteristics and seismic response of stone structures.The results indicate that the SSI effect alters stone structures'dynamic properties and seismic response.This alteration is evident in the extended natural vibration period,which reduces overall stiffness,increases interstory displacement angles,and slightly decreases the acceleration response.Under both SSI and FIX systems,the structural failure mode is characterized by the external collapse of the second-story stone walls,which causes the roof stone slabs to lose support and fall,leading to overall collapse.The FIX system demonstrates better structural integrity and stability with slower crack development.In contrast,the SSI system exhibits cracks that appear earlier and develop more rapidly,causing more severe damage.The research findings provide a theoretical basis for the seismic reinforcement of existing stone structures on soft soil foundations.

文摘This study proposes a general imperfect thermal contact model to predict the thermal contact resistance at the interface among multi-layered composite structures.Based on the Green-Lindsay(GL)thermoelastic theory,semi analytical solutions of temperature increment and displacement of multi-layered composite structures are obtained by using the Laplace transform method,upon which the effects of thermal resistance coefficient,partition coefficient,thermal conductivity ratio and heat capacity ratio on the responses are studied.The results show that the generalized imperfect thermal contact model can realistically describe the imperfect thermal contact problem.Accordingly,it may degenerate into other thermal contact models by adjusting the thermal resistance coefficient and partition coefficient.
文摘In contemporary geotechnical projects,various approaches are employed for forecasting the settlement of shallow foundations(S_(m)).However,achieving precise modeling of foundation behavior using certain techniques(such as analytical,numerical,and regression)is challenging and sometimes unattainable.This is primarily due to the inherent nonlinearity of the model,the intricate nature of geotechnical materials,the complex interaction between soil and foundation,and the inherent uncertainty in soil parameters.Therefore,thesemethods often introduce assumptions and simplifications,resulting in relationships that deviate from the actual problem’s reality.In addition,many of these methods demand significant investments of time and resources but neglect to account for the uncertainty inherent in soil/rock parameters.This study explores the application of innovative intelligent techniques to predict S_(m) to address these shortcomings.Specifically,two optimization algorithms,namely teaching-learning-based optimization(TLBO)and harmony search(HS),are harnessed for this purpose.The modeling process involves utilizing input parameters,such as thewidth of the footing(B),the pressure exerted on the footing(q),the count of SPT(Standard Penetration Test)blows(N),the ratio of footing embedment(Df/B),and the footing’s geometry(L/B),during the training phase with a dataset comprising 151 data points.Then,the models’accuracy is assessed during the testing phase using statistical metrics,including the coefficient of determination(R^(2)),mean square error(MSE),and rootmean square error(RMSE),based on a dataset of 38 data points.The findings of this investigation underscore the substantial efficacy of intelligent optimization algorithms as valuable tools for geotechnical engineers when estimating S_(m).In addition,a sensitivity analysis of the input parameters in S_(m) estimation is conducted using@RISK software,revealing that among the various input parameters,the N exerts the most pronounced influence on S_(m).
