文摘Agriculture,significantly impacted by climate change and climate variability,serves as the primary livelihood for smallholder farmers in South Asia.This study aims to examine and evaluate the factors influencing smallholder farmers'adaptive capacity(AC)in addressing these risks through surveys from 633 households across Nepal,India,and Bangladesh.The findings reveal that AC is influenced by various indicators categorized under eight principal factors.The first three factors,which explain about one-third of the variance in each country,include distinct significant indicators for each nation:in Nepal,these indicators are landholding size,skill-development training,knowledge of improved seed varieties,number of income sources,access to markets,and access to financial institutions;in India,they encompass ac-cess to agricultural-input information,knowledge of seed varieties,access to markets,access to crop insurance,changing the sowing/harvesting times of crops,and access to financial ser-vices;in Bangladesh,the key factors are access to financial institutions,community coopera-tion,changing the sowing/harvesting times of crops,knowledge of improved seed varieties,and access to agricultural-input information.Notably,indicators such as trust in weather in-formation,changing sowing/harvesting times of crops,and crop insurance were identified as important determinants of AC,which have been overlooked in previous studies.
文摘Managing sensitive data in dynamic and high-stakes environments,such as healthcare,requires access control frameworks that offer real-time adaptability,scalability,and regulatory compliance.BIG-ABAC introduces a transformative approach to Attribute-Based Access Control(ABAC)by integrating real-time policy evaluation and contextual adaptation.Unlike traditional ABAC systems that rely on static policies,BIG-ABAC dynamically updates policies in response to evolving rules and real-time contextual attributes,ensuring precise and efficient access control.Leveraging decision trees evaluated in real-time,BIG-ABAC overcomes the limitations of conventional access control models,enabling seamless adaptation to complex,high-demand scenarios.The framework adheres to the NIST ABAC standard while incorporating modern distributed streaming technologies to enhance scalability and traceability.Its flexible policy enforcement mechanisms facilitate the implementation of regulatory requirements such as HIPAA and GDPR,allowing organizations to align access control policies with compliance needs dynamically.Performance evaluations demonstrate that BIG-ABAC processes 95% of access requests within 50 ms and updates policies dynamically with a latency of 30 ms,significantly outperforming traditional ABAC models.These results establish BIG-ABAC as a benchmark for adaptive,scalable,and context-aware access control,making it an ideal solution for dynamic,high-risk domains such as healthcare,smart cities,and Industrial IoT(IIoT).

文摘Malware continues to pose a significant threat to cybersecurity,with new advanced infections that go beyond traditional detection.Limitations in existing systems include high false-positive rates,slow system response times,and inability to respond quickly to new malware forms.To overcome these challenges,this paper proposes OMD-RAS:Implementing Malware Detection in an Optimized Way through Real-Time and Adaptive Security as an extensive approach,hoping to get good results towards better malware threat detection and remediation.The significant steps in the model are data collection followed by comprehensive preprocessing consisting of feature engineering and normalization.Static analysis,along with dynamic analysis,is done to capture the whole spectrum of malware behavior for the feature extraction process.The extracted processed features are given with a continuous learning mechanism to the Extreme Learning Machine model of real-time detection.This OMD-RAS trains quickly and has great accuracy,providing elite,advanced real-time detection capabilities.This approach uses continuous learning to adapt to new threats—ensuring the effectiveness of detection even as strategies used by malware may change over time.The experimental results showed that OMD-RAS performs better than the traditional approaches.For instance,the OMD-RAS model has been able to achieve an accuracy of 96.23%and massively reduce the rate of false positives across all datasets while eliciting a consistently high rate of precision and recall.The model’s adaptive learning reflected enhancements on other performance measures-for example,Matthews Correlation Coefficients and Log Loss.
文摘In adaptive immunity,antigens are presented to T cells,which then become effector T cells(CD4+)or cytotoxic T cells(CD8+).These are called adaptive immune T cells.Cancer immunotherapy based on anti-programmed death receptor-1(PD-1)/programmed cell death 1 ligand 1(PD-L1)antibodies is a new way to treat cancer.Chinese herbal medicines are often used with cancer treatments in clinical practice.Recent studies have shown that Chinese herbal medicines affect the immune system and have an effect on PD-1/PD-L1.Baicalin,the main ingredient of Scutellaria baicalensis,can stop Tregs from working,increase the number of CD8+T cells in the tumour microenvironment and avoid PD-1 resistance.Solamargine has anti-cancer activity in a variety of tumours,including stopping tumour growth,stopping PD-L1 expression and blocking immune escape in combination with Immune checkpoint inhibitors.Taraxasterol,found in dandelion,can regulate anti-tumour T cells.It affects CD4+T cells by inhibiting STAT3.Platycodonis Radix can reduce the expression of PD-1 on the surface of CD8+T cells and increase their ability to kill tumour cells.Licorice compounds can regulate the cell cycle and PD-L1 expression,which can lead to tumour cell cycle blockade and increase the level of PD-L1 expression,thereby exerting anti-tumour effects.Marsdenia tenacissima extracts weakened the immunosuppressive effect of IL-10,improved T-cell function,stopped tumour cells escaping the immune system and reduced TGF-β1 and PD-L1.Strobilanthes crispus F3 extract increases lymphocyte infiltration,improves T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity,modulates immune cell expression,stops tumour-associated macrophage activity and slows tumour progression.The last five years of research on herbs with purgative and detoxifying effects were reviewed.This review will investigate how herbs can affect adaptive immune T cells in the immune system to improve cancer treatment.

文摘The cardiopulmonary health of children may be affected by acute ozone(O3)exposure during physical activity[1];however,its effects in high-altitude regions such as the Xizang Plateau remain uncertain.In high-altitude areas,lower oxygen levels may cause children to experience shortness of breath or require increased respiratory effort during vigorous activities such as running.This could lead to increased pollutant inhalation,potentially elevating the burden on the cardiovascular system and triggering adverse reactions such as increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure.Furthermore,differences in physiological adaptation between Han children who have migrated to Xizang and Tibetan children who are native to the region may contribute to different reactions to environmental exposure[2].

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Heart rate variability(HRV),as a key indicator for evaluating autonomic nervous system function,has significant value in areas such as cardiovascular disease screening and emotion monitoring.Although traditional contact-based measurement methods offer high precision,they suffer from issues such as poor comfort and low user compliance.This paper proposes a non-contact HRV monitoring method using frequency modulated continuous wave(FMCW)radar,highlighting adaptive cycle segmentation and peak extraction as core innovations.Key advantages of this method include:1)effective suppression of motion artifacts and respiratory harmonics by leveraging cardiac energy concentration;2)precise heartbeat cycle identification across physiological states via adaptive segmentation,addressing time-varying differences;3)adaptive threshold adjustment using discrete energy signals and a support vector machine(SVM)model based on morphological-temporal-spectral characteristics,reducing complexity while maintaining precision.Previous approaches predominantly process radar signals holistically through algorithms to uniformly extract inter-beat intervals(IBIs),which may result in high computational complexity and inadequate dynamic adaptability.In contrast,our method achieved higher precision than conventional holistic processing approaches,while maintaining comparable precision with lower computational complexity than previous optimization algorithms.Experimental results demonstrate that the system achieves an average IBI error of 8.28 ms(RMSE of 15.3 ms),which is reduced by about 66%compared with the traditional holistically peak seeking method.The average errors of SDNN and RMSSD are 2.65 ms and 4.33 ms,respectively.More than 92%of the IBI errors are controlled within 20 ms.The distance adaptability test showed that although the accuracy of long-distance measurement decreased slightly(<6 ms),the overall detection performance remained robust at different distances.This study provided a novel estimation algorithm for non-contact HRV detection,offering new perspectives for future health monitoring.

文摘3D medical image reconstruction has significantly enhanced diagnostic accuracy,yet the reliance on densely sampled projection data remains a major limitation in clinical practice.Sparse-angle X-ray imaging,though safer and faster,poses challenges for accurate volumetric reconstruction due to limited spatial information.This study proposes a 3D reconstruction neural network based on adaptive weight fusion(AdapFusionNet)to achieve high-quality 3D medical image reconstruction from sparse-angle X-ray images.To address the issue of spatial inconsistency in multi-angle image reconstruction,an innovative adaptive fusion module was designed to score initial reconstruction results during the inference stage and perform weighted fusion,thereby improving the final reconstruction quality.The reconstruction network is built on an autoencoder(AE)framework and uses orthogonal-angle X-ray images(frontal and lateral projections)as inputs.The encoder extracts 2D features,which the decoder maps into 3D space.This study utilizes a lung CT dataset to obtain complete three-dimensional volumetric data,from which digitally reconstructed radiographs(DRR)are generated at various angles to simulate X-ray images.Since real-world clinical X-ray images rarely come with perfectly corresponding 3D“ground truth,”using CT scans as the three-dimensional reference effectively supports the training and evaluation of deep networks for sparse-angle X-ray 3D reconstruction.Experiments conducted on the LIDC-IDRI dataset with simulated X-ray images(DRR images)as training data demonstrate the superior performance of AdapFusionNet compared to other fusion methods.Quantitative results show that AdapFusionNet achieves SSIM,PSNR,and MAE values of 0.332,13.404,and 0.163,respectively,outperforming other methods(SingleViewNet:0.289,12.363,0.182;AvgFusionNet:0.306,13.384,0.159).Qualitative analysis further confirms that AdapFusionNet significantly enhances the reconstruction of lung and chest contours while effectively reducing noise during the reconstruction process.The findings demonstrate that AdapFusionNet offers significant advantages in 3D reconstruction of sparse-angle X-ray images.

文摘Forest management planning faces uncertainties regarding future timber prices,tree growth,and survival.Future seed production is an additional source of uncertainty in Korean pine stands managed for the joint production of timber and edible seeds.Modern forest planning uses optimisation to determine the best possible cutting schedule.Optimisation can accommodate uncertainty by using decision rules for adaptive forest management instead of optimising cutting years and intensities.In this study,we optimised two adaptive decision rules for managing Korean pine plantations for the joint production of timber and pinecones when timber prices,tree growth,and seed production are stochastic.The first rule indicated the minimum price to sell timber,i.e.,the reservation price,as a function of the mean tree diameter and stand basal area.The second adaptive rule expressed the mean tree diameter at which cutting is optimal as a function of timber price and stand basal area.Both decision rules resulted in nearly the same mean net present value when the optimised rule was applied to 100 stochastic scenarios for future timber prices,tree growth,and seed production.The net present values were over 20% higher than those for the deterministically optimised cutting schedules under the same scenarios.Therefore,the expected economic gain from switching from deterministic to adaptive stochastic optimisation was at least 20%.The cutting years of the adaptive optima were frequently later than those indicated by the deterministic optima,and optimal adaptive harvesting often involved waiting for high timber prices.The minimum price or minimum mean diameter to sell timber was higher when the income from seeds was considered in the optimisation.The cuttings were later,and the rotations were longer in the joint production of timber and pinecones than in timber production alone.

文摘Wireless communication-enabled Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control(CACC)is expected to improve the safety and traffic capacity of vehicle platoons.Existing CACC considers a conventional communication delay with fixed Vehicular Communication Network(VCN)topologies.However,when the network is under attack,the communication delay may be much higher,and the stability of the system may not be guaranteed.This paper proposes a novel communication Delay Aware CACC with Dynamic Network Topologies(DADNT).The main idea is that for various communication delays,in order to maximize the traffic capacity while guaranteeing stability and minimizing the following error,the CACC should dynamically adjust the VCN network topology to achieve the minimum inter-vehicle spacing.To this end,a multi-objective optimization problem is formulated,and a 3-step Divide-And-Conquer sub-optimal solution(3DAC)is proposed.Simulation results show that with 3DAC,the proposed DADNT with CACC can reduce the inter-vehicle spacing by 5%,10%,and 14%,respectively,compared with the traditional CACC with fixed one-vehicle,two-vehicle,and three-vehicle look-ahead network topologies,thereby improving the traffic efficiency.
