However, traditional air target intent recognition methods, which mainly rely on manually designed neural network models, find it difficult to maintain sustained and excellent performance in such a complex and changing environment. To address the problem of the adaptability of neural network models in complex environments, we propose a lightweight Transformer model(TransATIR) with a strong adaptive adjustment capability, based on the characteristics of air target intent recognition and the neural network architecture search technique. After conducting extensive experiments, it has been proved that TransATIR can efficiently extract the deep feature information from battlefield situation data by utilizing the neural architecture search algorithm, in order to quickly and accurately identify the real intention of the target. The experimental results indicate that TransATIR significantly improves recognition accuracy compared to the existing state-of-the-art methods, and also effectively reduces the computational complexity of the model.展开更多

文摘With the rapid development of 5G technology,the proportion of video traffic on the Internet is increasing,bringing pressure on the network infrastructure.Edge computing technology provides a feasible solution for optimizing video content distribution.However,the limited edge node cache capacity and dynamic user requests make edge caching more complex.Therefore,we propose a recommendation-driven edge Caching network architecture for the Full life cycle of video streaming(FlyCache)designed to improve users’Quality of Experience(QoE)and reduce backhaul traffic consumption.FlyCache implements intelligent caching management across three key stages:before-playback,during-playback,and after-playback.Specifically,we introduce a cache placement policy for the before-playback stage,a dynamic prefetching and cache admission policy for the during-playback stage,and a progressive cache eviction policy for the after-playback stage.To validate the effectiveness of FlyCache,we developed a user behavior-driven edge caching simulation framework incorporating recommendation mechanisms.Experiments conducted on the MovieLens and synthetic datasets demonstrate that FlyCache outperforms other caching strategies in terms of byte hit rate,backhaul traffic,and delayed startup rate.
文摘The flexible satellite batch production line is a complex discrete production system with multiple cross-disciplinary fields and mixed serial parallel tasks.As the source of the satellite batch production line process,the warehousing system has urgent needs such as uncertain production scale and rapid iteration and optimization of business processes.Therefore,the requirements and architecture of complex discrete warehousing systems such as flexible satellite batch production lines are studied.The physical system of intelligent equipment is abstracted as a digital model to form the underlying module,and a digital fusion framework of“business domain+middleware platform+intelligent equipment information model”is constructed.The granularity of microservice splitting is calculated based on the dynamic correlation relationship between user access instances and database table structures.The general warehousing functions of the platform are divided to achieve module customization,addition,and configuration.An open discrete warehousing system based on microservices is designed.Software architecture and design develop complex discrete warehousing systems based on the SpringCloud framework.This architecture achieves the decoupling of business logic and physical hardware,enhances the maintainability and scalability of the system,and greatly improves the system’s adaptability to different complex discrete warehousing business scenarios.

文摘Calvarial nerves,along with vasculature,influence skull formation during development and following injury,but it remains unclear how calvarial nerves are spatially distributed during postnatal growth and aging.Studying the spatial distribution of nerves in the skull remains a challenge due to a lack of methods to quantify 3D structures in intact bone.To visualize calvarial 3D neurovascular architecture,we imaged nerves and endothelial cells with lightsheet microscopy.

文摘Plants undergo dynamic morphological changes in response to fluctuating light conditions.Despite significant progress in elucidating the mechanisms of light signal transduction,the precise influence of light on the development and regulation of shoot architecture remains a central research question.Studies focusing on model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana and rice suggest light modulates shoot architecture through intricate regulatory networks.However,the molecular mechanisms governing the diverse effects of light on horticultural crops are still poorly understood.This review primarily focuses on horticultural crops,integrating research on model plants,including Arabidopsis and rice,to provide an overview of the regulatory mechanisms of light signals in plant architectural development.It also explores the prospects for manipulating light environments in greenhouse management strategies.

文摘Characterizing the architecture of tree root systems is essential to advance the development of root-inspired anchorage in engineered systems.This study explores the structural root architectures of orchard trees to understand the interplays between the mechanical behavior of roots and the root architecture.Full three-dimensional(3D)models of natural tree root systems,Lovell,Marianna,and Myrobalan,that were extracted from the ground by vertical pullout are reconstructed through photogrammetry and later skeletonized as nodes and root branch segments.Combined analyses of the full 3D models and skeletonized models enable a detailed examination of basic bulk properties and quantification of architectural parameters.While the root segments are divided into three categories,trunk root,main lateral root,and remaining roots,the patterns in branching and diameter distributions show significant differences between the trunk and main laterals versus the remaining lateral roots.In general,the branching angle decreases over the sequence of bifurcations.The main lateral roots near the trunk show significant spreading while the lateral roots near the ends grow roughly parallel to the parent root.For branch length,the roots bifurcate more frequently near the trunk and later they grow longer.Local thickness analysis confirms that the root diameter decays at a higher rate near the trunk than in the remaining lateral roots,while the total cross-sectional area across a bifurcation node remains mostly conserved.The histograms of branching angle,and branch length and thickness gradient can be described using lognormal and exponential distributions,respectively.This unique study presents data to characterize mechanically important structural roots,which may help link root architecture to the mechanical behaviors of root structures.
