文摘Population growth leads to increased utilization of water resources.One of these resources is groundwater,which has steadily declined each year.The depletion of these resources brings about various environmental challenges.The present study aimed to explore the relationship between groundwater fluctuations and land subsidence in the Malayer Plain,Iran,focusing on quantifying subsidence resulting from groundwater extraction.Using Sentinel-1 satellite data(2014–2019)and monthly piezometric measurements(1996–2018),the analysis revealed an average deformation velocity of–6.3 cm yr–1,with accumulated subsidence of–32 cm over the 2014–2019 period.The maximum subsidence rate reached 10.3 cm yr–1 in areas of intensive agricultural activity.A wavelet-PCA spatiotemporal analysis of groundwater fluctuations identified critical multi-scale patterns strongly correlated with subsidence trends.Regression analysis between subsidence rates and groundwater fluctuations at various wavelet decomposition levels explained 75%of the variance(R2=0.75),indicating that intermediate-scale groundwater declines were the primary drivers of subsidence.Furthermore,land use analysis using Landsat data(1999–2021)revealed a 6230-ha increase in irrigated farmland,contributing to heightened groundwater extraction and subsidence rates.These findings highlight the critical need for sustainable groundwater management to mitigate the risks of continued subsidence in the region.

文摘Objective To identify core acupoint patterns and elucidate the molecular mechanisms of acupuncture for primary depressive disorder(PDD)through data mining and network analysis.Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed,Embase,Ovid Technologies(OVID),Web of Science,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database(VIP),Wanfang Data,and SinoMed Database from database foundation to January 31,2025,for clinical studies on acupuncture treatment of PDD.Descriptive statistics,high-frequency acupoint analysis,degree and betweenness centrality evaluation,and core acupoint prescription mining identified predominant therapeutic combinations for PDD.Network acupuncture was used to predict therapeutic target for the core acupoint prescription.Subsequent protein-protein interaction(PPI)network and molecular complex detection(MCODE)analyses were conducted to identify the key targets and functional modules.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analyses explored the underlying biological mechanisms of the core acupoint prescription in treating PDD.Results A total of 57 acupoint prescriptions underwent systematic analysis.The core therapeutic combinations comprised Baihui(GV20),Yintang(GV29),Neiguan(PC6),Hegu(LI4),and Shenmen(HT7).Network acupuncture analysis identified 88 potential therapeutic targets(79 overlapping with PDD),while PPI network analysis revealed central regulatory nodes,including interleukin(IL)-6,IL-1β,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),IL-10,brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1,C-XC motif chemokine ligand 10(CXCL10),mitogen-activated protein kinase 3(MAPK3),and nitric oxide synthase 1(NOS1).MCODE-based modular analysis further elucidated three functionally coherent clusters:inflammation-homeostasis(score=6.571),plasticity-neurotransmission(score=3.143),and oxidative stress(score=3.000).GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated significant enrichment of the MAPK,phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/Akt),and hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF)-1 signaling pathways.These mechanistic insights suggested that the antidepressant effects mediated through mechanisms of neuroinflammatory regulation,neuroplasticity restoration,and immune-oxidative stress homeostasis.Conclusion This study reveals that acupuncture alleviates depression through a multi-level mechanism,primarily involving the neuroinflammation suppression,neuroplasticity enhancement,and oxidative stress regulation.These findings systematically clarify the underlying mechanisms of acupuncture’s antidepressant effects and identify novel therapeutic targets for further mechanistic research.

文摘A deep-sea riser is a crucial component of the mining system used to lift seafloor mineral resources to the vessel.Even minor damage to the riser can lead to substantial financial losses,environmental impacts,and safety hazards.However,identifying modal parameters for structural health monitoring remains a major challenge due to its large deformations and flexibility.Vibration signal-based methods are essential for detecting damage and enabling timely maintenance to minimize losses.However,accurately extracting features from one-dimensional(1D)signals is often hindered by various environmental factors and measurement noises.To address this challenge,a novel approach based on a residual convolutional auto-encoder(RCAE)is proposed for detecting damage in deep-sea mining risers,incorporating a data fusion strategy.First,principal component analysis(PCA)is applied to reduce environmental fluctuations and fuse multisensor strain readings.Subsequently,a 1D-RCAE is used to extract damage-sensitive features(DSFs)from the fused dataset.A Mahalanobis distance indicator is established to compare the DSFs of the testing and healthy risers.The specific threshold for these distances is determined using the 3σcriterion,which is employed to assess whether damage has occurred in the testing riser.The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach are verified through numerical simulations of a 500-m riser and experimental tests on a 6-m riser.Moreover,the impact of contaminated noise and environmental fluctuations is examined.Results show that the proposed PCA-1D-RCAE approach can effectively detect damage and is resilient to measurement noise and environmental fluctuations.The accuracy exceeds 98%under noise-free conditions and remains above 90%even with 10 dB noise.This novel approach has the potential to establish a new standard for evaluating the health and integrity of risers during mining operations,thereby reducing the high costs and risks associated with failures.Maintenance activities can be scheduled more efficiently by enabling early and accurate detection of riser damage,minimizing downtime and avoiding catastrophic failures.
文摘Introduction Neurosurgical emergencies such as spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH),traumatic brain injury(TBI),and acute brain herniation are among the most time-sensitive and high-stakes conditions in modern medicine.Clinical decisions often must be made within minutes,yet these decisions are traditionally guided by limited information,heuristic reasoning,and past experience.In this context,the rise of medical data mining and real-time analytics offers a transformative opportunity:to extract actionable intelligence from the flood of clinical,imaging,and physiological data already being collected,and to use this intelligence to guide care in real time[1–3](Figure 1).

文摘Reducing raw materials consumption(RMC)in electric arc furnace(EAF)steelmaking process is beneficial to the reduction in resource and energy consumption.The conventional indicator of evaluating RMC only focuses on EAF inputs and outputs,neglecting the associations between smelting operations and RMC.Traditional methods of reducing RMC rely on manual experience and lack a standard operation guidance.A method based on association rules mining and metallurgical mechanism(ARM-MM)was proposed.ARM-MM proposed an improved evaluation indicator of RMC and the indicator independently showed the associations between smelting operations and RMC.On the basis,1265 heats of real EAF data were used to obtain the operation guidance for RMC reduction.According to the ratio of hot metal(HM)in charge metals,data were divided into all dataset,low HM ratio dataset,medium HM ratio dataset,and high HM ratio dataset.ARM algorithm was used in each dataset to obtain specific operation guidance.The real average RMC under all dataset,medium HM ratio dataset,and high HM ratio dataset was reduced by 279,486,and 252 kg/heat,respectively,when obtained operation guidance was applied.
文摘The rapid growth of biomedical data,particularly multi-omics data including genomes,transcriptomics,proteomics,metabolomics,and epigenomics,medical research and clinical decision-making confront both new opportunities and obstacles.The huge and diversified nature of these datasets cannot always be managed using traditional data analysis methods.As a consequence,deep learning has emerged as a strong tool for analysing numerous omics data due to its ability to handle complex and non-linear relationships.This paper explores the fundamental concepts of deep learning and how they are used in multi-omics medical data mining.We demonstrate how autoencoders,variational autoencoders,multimodal models,attention mechanisms,transformers,and graph neural networks enable pattern analysis and recognition across all omics data.Deep learning has been found to be effective in illness classification,biomarker identification,gene network learning,and therapeutic efficacy prediction.We also consider critical problems like as data quality,model explainability,whether findings can be repeated,and computational power requirements.We now consider future elements of combining omics with clinical and imaging data,explainable AI,federated learning,and real-time diagnostics.Overall,this study emphasises the need of collaborating across disciplines to advance deep learning-based multi-omics research for precision medicine and comprehending complicated disorders.
文摘Missing data presents a crucial challenge in data analysis,especially in high-dimensional datasets,where missing data often leads to biased conclusions and degraded model performance.In this study,we present a novel autoencoder-based imputation framework that integrates a composite loss function to enhance robustness and precision.The proposed loss combines(i)a guided,masked mean squared error focusing on missing entries;(ii)a noise-aware regularization term to improve resilience against data corruption;and(iii)a variance penalty to encourage expressive yet stable reconstructions.We evaluate the proposed model across four missingness mechanisms,such as Missing Completely at Random,Missing at Random,Missing Not at Random,and Missing Not at Random with quantile censorship,under systematically varied feature counts,sample sizes,and missingness ratios ranging from 5%to 60%.Four publicly available real-world datasets(Stroke Prediction,Pima Indians Diabetes,Cardiovascular Disease,and Framingham Heart Study)were used,and the obtained results show that our proposed model consistently outperforms baseline methods,including traditional and deep learning-based techniques.An ablation study reveals the additive value of each component in the loss function.Additionally,we assessed the downstream utility of imputed data through classification tasks,where datasets imputed by the proposed method yielded the highest receiver operating characteristic area under the curve scores across all scenarios.The model demonstrates strong scalability and robustness,improving performance with larger datasets and higher feature counts.These results underscore the capacity of the proposed method to produce not only numerically accurate but also semantically useful imputations,making it a promising solution for robust data recovery in clinical applications.
文摘Processes supported by process-aware information systems are subject to continuous and often subtle changes due to evolving operational,organizational,or regulatory factors.These changes,referred to as incremental concept drift,gradually alter the behavior or structure of processes,making their detection and localization a challenging task.Traditional process mining techniques frequently assume process stationarity and are limited in their ability to detect such drift,particularly from a control-flow perspective.The objective of this research is to develop an interpretable and robust framework capable of detecting and localizing incremental concept drift in event logs,with a specific emphasis on the structural evolution of control-flow semantics in processes.We propose DriftXMiner,a control-flow-aware hybrid framework that combines statistical,machine learning,and process model analysis techniques.The approach comprises three key components:(1)Cumulative Drift Scanner that tracks directional statistical deviations to detect early drift signals;(2)a Temporal Clustering and Drift-Aware Forest Ensemble(DAFE)to capture distributional and classification-level changes in process behavior;and(3)Petri net-based process model reconstruction,which enables the precise localization of structural drift using transition deviation metrics and replay fitness scores.Experimental validation on the BPI Challenge 2017 event log demonstrates that DriftXMiner effectively identifies and localizes gradual and incremental process drift over time.The framework achieves a detection accuracy of 92.5%,a localization precision of 90.3%,and an F1-score of 0.91,outperforming competitive baselines such as CUSUM+Histograms and ADWIN+Alpha Miner.Visual analyses further confirm that identified drift points align with transitions in control-flow models and behavioral cluster structures.DriftXMiner offers a novel and interpretable solution for incremental concept drift detection and localization in dynamic,process-aware systems.By integrating statistical signal accumulation,temporal behavior profiling,and structural process mining,the framework enables finegrained drift explanation and supports adaptive process intelligence in evolving environments.Its modular architecture supports extension to streaming data and real-time monitoring contexts.

文摘Modern intrusion detection systems(MIDS)face persistent challenges in coping with the rapid evolution of cyber threats,high-volume network traffic,and imbalanced datasets.Traditional models often lack the robustness and explainability required to detect novel and sophisticated attacks effectively.This study introduces an advanced,explainable machine learning framework for multi-class IDS using the KDD99 and IDS datasets,which reflects real-world network behavior through a blend of normal and diverse attack classes.The methodology begins with sophisticated data preprocessing,incorporating both RobustScaler and QuantileTransformer to address outliers and skewed feature distributions,ensuring standardized and model-ready inputs.Critical dimensionality reduction is achieved via the Harris Hawks Optimization(HHO)algorithm—a nature-inspired metaheuristic modeled on hawks’hunting strategies.HHO efficiently identifies the most informative features by optimizing a fitness function based on classification performance.Following feature selection,the SMOTE is applied to the training data to resolve class imbalance by synthetically augmenting underrepresented attack types.The stacked architecture is then employed,combining the strengths of XGBoost,SVM,and RF as base learners.This layered approach improves prediction robustness and generalization by balancing bias and variance across diverse classifiers.The model was evaluated using standard classification metrics:precision,recall,F1-score,and overall accuracy.The best overall performance was recorded with an accuracy of 99.44%for UNSW-NB15,demonstrating the model’s effectiveness.After balancing,the model demonstrated a clear improvement in detecting the attacks.We tested the model on four datasets to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and performed the ablation study to check the effect of each parameter.Also,the proposed model is computationaly efficient.To support transparency and trust in decision-making,explainable AI(XAI)techniques are incorporated that provides both global and local insight into feature contributions,and offers intuitive visualizations for individual predictions.This makes it suitable for practical deployment in cybersecurity environments that demand both precision and accountability.

文摘Reversible data hiding(RDH)enables secret data embedding while preserving complete cover image recovery,making it crucial for applications requiring image integrity.The pixel value ordering(PVO)technique used in multi-stego images provides good image quality but often results in low embedding capability.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a high-capacity RDH scheme based on PVO that generates three stego images from a single cover image.The cover image is partitioned into non-overlapping blocks with pixels sorted in ascending order.Four secret bits are embedded into each block’s maximum pixel value,while three additional bits are embedded into the second-largest value when the pixel difference exceeds a predefined threshold.A similar embedding strategy is also applied to the minimum side of the block,including the second-smallest pixel value.This design enables each block to embed up to 14 bits of secret data.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significantly higher embedding capacity and improved visual quality compared to existing triple-stego RDH approaches,advancing the field of reversible steganography.

文摘With the increasing emphasis on personal information protection,encryption through security protocols has emerged as a critical requirement in data transmission and reception processes.Nevertheless,IoT ecosystems comprise heterogeneous networks where outdated systems coexist with the latest devices,spanning a range of devices from non-encrypted ones to fully encrypted ones.Given the limited visibility into payloads in this context,this study investigates AI-based attack detection methods that leverage encrypted traffic metadata,eliminating the need for decryption and minimizing system performance degradation—especially in light of these heterogeneous devices.Using the UNSW-NB15 and CICIoT-2023 dataset,encrypted and unencrypted traffic were categorized according to security protocol,and AI-based intrusion detection experiments were conducted for each traffic type based on metadata.To mitigate the problem of class imbalance,eight different data sampling techniques were applied.The effectiveness of these sampling techniques was then comparatively analyzed using two ensemble models and three Deep Learning(DL)models from various perspectives.The experimental results confirmed that metadata-based attack detection is feasible using only encrypted traffic.In the UNSW-NB15 dataset,the f1-score of encrypted traffic was approximately 0.98,which is 4.3%higher than that of unencrypted traffic(approximately 0.94).In addition,analysis of the encrypted traffic in the CICIoT-2023 dataset using the same method showed a significantly lower f1-score of roughly 0.43,indicating that the quality of the dataset and the preprocessing approach have a substantial impact on detection performance.Furthermore,when data sampling techniques were applied to encrypted traffic,the recall in the UNSWNB15(Encrypted)dataset improved by up to 23.0%,and in the CICIoT-2023(Encrypted)dataset by 20.26%,showing a similar level of improvement.Notably,in CICIoT-2023,f1-score and Receiver Operation Characteristic-Area Under the Curve(ROC-AUC)increased by 59.0%and 55.94%,respectively.These results suggest that data sampling can have a positive effect even in encrypted environments.However,the extent of the improvement may vary depending on data quality,model architecture,and sampling strategy.
