文摘Named data networking(NDNs)is an idealized deployment of information-centric networking(ICN)that has attracted attention from scientists and scholars worldwide.A distributed in-network caching scheme can efficiently realize load balancing.However,such a ubiquitous caching approach may cause problems including duplicate caching and low data diversity,thus reducing the caching efficiency of NDN routers.To mitigate these caching problems and improve the NDN caching efficiency,in this paper,a hierarchical-based sequential caching(HSC)scheme is proposed.In this scheme,the NDN routers in the data transmission path are divided into various levels and data with different request frequencies are cached in distinct router levels.The aim is to cache data with high request frequencies in the router that is closest to the content requester to increase the response probability of the nearby data,improve the data caching efficiency of named data networks,shorten the response time,and reduce cache redundancy.Simulation results show that this scheme can effectively improve the cache hit rate(CHR)and reduce the average request delay(ARD)and average route hop(ARH).

文摘Time synchronization is a prerequisite for ensuring determinism in time-sensitive networking(TSN).While time synchronization errors cannot be overlooked,pursuing minimal time errors may incur unnecessary costs.Using complex network theory,this study proposes a hierarchy for TSN and introduces the concept of bounded time error.A coupling model between traffic scheduling and time synchronization is established,deriving functional relationships among end-to-end delay,delay jitter,gate window,and time error.These relationships illustrate that time errors can trigger jumps in delay and delay jitter.To evaluate different time errors impact on traffic scheduling performance,an end-to-end transmission experiment scheme is designed,along with the construction of a TSN test platform implementing two representative cases.Case A is a closed TSN domain scenario with pure TSN switches emulating closed factory floor network.Case B depicts remote factory interconnection where TSN domains link via non-TSN domains composed of OpenFlow switches.Results from Case A show that delay and delay jitter on a single node are most significantly affected by time errors,up to one gating cycle.End-to-end delay jitter tends to increase with the number of hops.When the ratio of time error bound to window exceeds 10%,the number of schedulable traffic flows decreases rapidly.Case B reveals that when time error is below 1μs,the number of schedulable traffic flows begins to increase significantly,approaching full schedulability at errors below 0.6μs.
文摘Optimizing routing and resource allocation in decentralized unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)networks remains challenging due to interference and rapidly changing topologies.The authors introduce a novel framework combining double deep Q-networks(DDQNs)and graph neural networks(GNNs)for joint routing and resource allocation.The framework uses GNNs to model the network topology and DDQNs to adaptively control routing and resource allocation,addressing interference and improving network performance.Simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms traditional methods such as Closest-to-Destination(c2Dst),Max-SINR(mSINR),and Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP)-based models,achieving approximately 23.5% improvement in throughput,50% increase in connection probability,and 17.6% reduction in number of hops,demonstrating its effectiveness in dynamic UAV networks.
文摘To explore the material basis and mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory effects of Hibiscus mutabilis L..The active ingredients and potential targets of Hibiscus mutabilis L.were obtained through the literature review and SwissADME platform.Genes related to the inflammation were collected using Genecards and OMIM databases,and the intersection genes were submitted on STRING and DAVID websites.Then,the protein interaction network(PPI),gene ontology(GO)and pathway(KEGG)were analyzed.Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to construct the“Hibiscus mutabilis L.-active ingredient-target-inflammation”network diagram,and AutoDockTools-1.5.6 software was used for the molecular docking verification.The antiinflammatory effect of Hibiscus mutabilis L.active ingredient was verified by the RAW264.7 inflammatory cell model.The results showed that 11 active components and 94 potential targets,1029 inflammatory targets and 24 intersection targets were obtained from Hibiscus mutabilis L..The key anti-inflammatory active ingredients of Hibiscus mutabilis L.are quercetin,apigenin and luteolin.Its action pathway is mainly related to NF-κB,cancer pathway and TNF signaling pathway.Cell experiments showed that total flavonoids of Hibiscus mutabilis L.could effectively inhibit the expression of tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α),interleukin 8(IL-8)and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 inflammatory cells.It also downregulates the phosphorylation of human nuclear factor ĸB inhibitory protein α(IĸBα)and NF-κB p65 subunit protein(p65).Overall,the anti-inflammatory effect of Hibiscus mutabilis L.is related to many active components,many signal pathways and targets,which provides a theoretical basis for its further development and application.

文摘The increased accessibility of social networking services(SNSs)has facilitated communication and information sharing among users.However,it has also heightened concerns about digital safety,particularly for children and adolescents who are increasingly exposed to online grooming crimes.Early and accurate identification of grooming conversations is crucial in preventing long-term harm to victims.However,research on grooming detection in South Korea remains limited,as existing models trained primarily on English text and fail to reflect the unique linguistic features of SNS conversations,leading to inaccurate classifications.To address these issues,this study proposes a novel framework that integrates optical character recognition(OCR)technology with KcELECTRA,a deep learning-based natural language processing(NLP)model that shows excellent performance in processing the colloquial Korean language.In the proposed framework,the KcELECTRA model is fine-tuned by an extensive dataset,including Korean social media conversations,Korean ethical verification data from AI-Hub,and Korean hate speech data from Hug-gingFace,to enable more accurate classification of text extracted from social media conversation images.Experimental results show that the proposed framework achieves an accuracy of 0.953,outperforming existing transformer-based models.Furthermore,OCR technology shows high accuracy in extracting text from images,demonstrating that the proposed framework is effective for online grooming detection.The proposed framework is expected to contribute to the more accurate detection of grooming text and the prevention of grooming-related crimes.
文摘Inspections of power transmission lines(PTLs)conducted using unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)are complicated by the fine structure of the lines and complex backgrounds,making accurate and efficient segmentation challenging.This study presents the Wavelet-Guided Transformer U-Net(WGT-UNet)model,a new hybrid net-work that combines Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs),Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT),and Transformer architectures.The model’s primary contribution is based on spatial and channel attention mechanisms derived from wavelet subbands to guide the Transformer’s self-attention structure.Thus,low and high frequency components are separated at each stage using DWT,suppressing structural noise and making linear objects more prominent.The developed design is supported by multi-component hybrid cost functions that simultaneously solve class imbalance,edge sharpness,structural integrity,and spatial regularity issues.Furthermore,high segmentation success has been achieved in producing sharp boundaries and continuous line structures with the DWT-guided attention mechanism.Experiments conducted on the TTPLA dataset reveal that the version using the ConvNeXt backbone outperforms the current state-of-the-art approaches with an F1-Score of 79.33%and an Intersection over Union(IoU)value of 68.38%.The models and visual outputs of the developed method and all compared models can be accessed at https://github.com/burhanbarakli/WGT-UNET.
文摘Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS)attacks are one of the severe threats to network infrastructure,sometimes bypassing traditional diagnosis algorithms because of their evolving complexity.PresentMachine Learning(ML)techniques for DDoS attack diagnosis normally apply network traffic statistical features such as packet sizes and inter-arrival times.However,such techniques sometimes fail to capture complicated relations among various traffic flows.In this paper,we present a new multi-scale ensemble strategy given the Graph Neural Networks(GNNs)for improving DDoS detection.Our technique divides traffic into macro-and micro-level elements,letting various GNN models to get the two corase-scale anomalies and subtle,stealthy attack models.Through modeling network traffic as graph-structured data,GNNs efficiently learn intricate relations among network entities.The proposed ensemble learning algorithm combines the results of several GNNs to improve generalization,robustness,and scalability.Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets—UNSW-NB15,CICIDS2017,and CICDDoS2019—show that our approach outperforms traditional machine learning and deep learning models in detecting both high-rate and low-rate(stealthy)DDoS attacks,with significant improvements in accuracy and recall.These findings demonstrate the suggested method’s applicability and robustness for real-world implementation in contexts where several DDoS patterns coexist.

文摘The influence of different solution and aging conditions on the microstructure,impact toughness,and crack initiation and propagation mechanisms of the novel α+β titanium alloy Ti6422 was systematically investigated.By adjusting the furnace cooling time after solution treatment and the aging temperature,Ti6422 alloy samples were developed with a multi-level lamellar microstructure,in-cluding microscaleαcolonies and α_(p) lamellae,as well as nanoscale α_(s) phases.Extending the furnace cooling time after solution treatment at 920℃ for 1 h from 240 to 540 min,followed by aging at 600℃ for 6 h,increased the α_(p) lamella content,reduced the α_(s) phase content,expanded theαcolonies and α_(p) lamellae size,and improved the impact toughness from 22.7 to 53.8 J/cm^(2).Additionally,under the same solution treatment,raising the aging temperature from 500 to 700℃ resulted in a decrease in the α_(s) phase content and a growth in the thickness of the α_(p) lamella and α_(s) phase.The impact toughness increased significantly with these changes.Samples with high α_(p) lamellae content or large α_(s) phase size exhibited high crack initiation and propagation energies.Impact deformation caused severe kinking of the α_(p) lamellae in crack initiation and propagation areas,leading to a uniform and high-density kernel average misorientation(KAM)distribu-tion,enhancing plastic deformation coordination and uniformity.Moreover,the multidirectional arrangement of coarserαcolonies and α_(p) lamellae continuously deflect the crack propagation direction,inhibiting crack propagation.
