文摘In the competitive retail industry of the digital era,data-driven insights into gender-specific customer behavior are essential.They support the optimization of store performance,layout design,product placement,and targeted marketing.However,existing computer vision solutions often rely on facial recognition to gather such insights,raising significant privacy and ethical concerns.To address these issues,this paper presents a privacypreserving customer analytics system through two key strategies.First,we deploy a deep learning framework using YOLOv9s,trained on the RCA-TVGender dataset.Cameras are positioned perpendicular to observation areas to reduce facial visibility while maintaining accurate gender classification.Second,we apply AES-128 encryption to customer position data,ensuring secure access and regulatory compliance.Our system achieved overall performance,with 81.5%mAP@50,77.7%precision,and 75.7%recall.Moreover,a 90-min observational study confirmed the system’s ability to generate privacy-protected heatmaps revealing distinct behavioral patterns between male and female customers.For instance,women spent more time in certain areas and showed interest in different products.These results confirm the system’s effectiveness in enabling personalized layout and marketing strategies without compromising privacy.
文摘One of the core challenges faced by children with autism is repetitive motor behavior,which not only undermines their learning efficiency in the classroom but also makes it difficult for them to integrate smoothly into inclusive educational settings,thereby hindering their social adaptation and overall development.This study adopted a single-case design focusing on a first-grade student with autism enrolled in a mainstream class at Xiangxue Primary School,Huangpu District,Guangzhou.Functional behavior assessment was conducted to systematically observe and analyze the student’s repetitive motor behaviors in class,on the basis of which an intervention plan was developed and implemented.The intervention incorporated antecedent control,replacement behavior training,and consequence management,supplemented by collaboration between school and family.The findings indicated that the frequency of repetitive motor behaviors decreased significantly after the intervention,while the student demonstrated improved classroom participation and peer interaction;these positive effects were maintained during the follow-up phase.The study suggests that in inclusive education settings,interventions guided by functional behavior assessment can effectively reduce problem behaviors in children with autism and enhance their classroom engagement and learning adaptability.

文摘Biological invasions are a major driver of global biodiversity loss,impacting endemic species,ecosystems,and economies.Although the influence of life history traits on invasive success is well-established,the role of behavior in the invasive potential of animals is less studied.The common coqui frog,Eleutherodactylus coqui,is a highly successful invader in Hawai'i.We build on previous research characterizing changes in physiology and morphology to explore behavioral variation across the invasive range of coqui in Hawai'i.Coqui have expanded both outward and upward from their initial introduction site,andby comparing frogs from different densities and elevations-we specifically asked how the physiological challenges of high-elevation living interact with the competitive challenge of high-densities at population centers.To investigate whether differences in the field represent local adaptation or behavioral plasticity,we additionally evaluated behavior following acclimation to a shared laboratory environment.Although we identified only subtle behavioral variation among populations in the field,we found that individuals from all populations became less bold,active,and exploratory in the laboratory,converging on a similar behavioral phenotype.Alongside previous work,our results suggest that coqui adjust their behavior to local environmental conditions across their invasive range and that behavioral flexibility may contribute to invasive success.

文摘In recent years,cyber threats have escalated across diverse sectors,with cybercrime syndicates increasingly exploiting system vulnerabilities.Traditional passive defense mechanisms have proven insufficient,particularly as Linux platforms—historically overlooked in favor of Windows—have emerged as frequent targets.According to Trend Micro,there has been a substantial increase in Linux-targeted malware,with ransomware attacks on Linux surpassing those on macOS.This alarming trend underscores the need for detection strategies specifically designed for Linux environments.To address this challenge,this study proposes a comprehensive malware detection framework tailored for Linux systems,integrating dynamic behavioral analysis with the semantic reasoning capabilities of large language models(LLMs).Malware samples are executed within sandbox environments to extract behavioral features such as system calls and command-line executions.These features are then systematically mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework,incorporating its defined data sources,data components,and Tactics,Techniques,and Procedures(TTPs).Two mapping constructs—Conceptual Definition Mapping and TTP Technical Keyword Mapping—are developed from official MITRE documentation.These resources are utilized to fine-tune an LLM,enabling it to semantically interpret complex behavioral patterns and infer associated attack techniques,including those employed by previously unknown malware variants.The resulting detection pipeline effectively bridges raw behavioral data with structured threat intelligence.Experimental evaluations confirm the efficacy of the proposed system,with the fine-tuned Gemma 2B model demonstrating significantly enhanced accuracy in associating behavioral features with ATT&CK-defined techniques.This study contributes a fully integrated Linux-specific detection framework,a novel approach for transforming unstructured behavioral data into actionable intelligence,improved interpretability of malicious behavior,and a scalable training process for future applications of LLMs in cybersecurity.
文摘A common but flawed design in existing CNN architectures is using strided convolutions and/or pooling layer,which will result in the loss of fine-grained feature information,especially for low-resolution images and small objects.In this paper,a new CNN building block named SPD-Conv was used,which completely eliminated stride and pooling operations and replaced them with a space-to-depth convolution and a non-strided convolution.Such new design has the advantage of downsampling feature maps while retaining discriminant feature information.It also represents a general unified method,which can be easily applied to any CNN architectures,and can also be applied to strided conversion and pooling in the same way.

文摘The reservoir landslide undergoes periodic saturation-drying cycles affected by reservoir fluctuation in hydropower project area,leading to the irreversible impact on the landslide materials.Sliding zone is the shearing part in formation of landslide and controls the further development of landslide.The mechanical behavior of sliding zone soil under compression is a crucial factor in the stability analysis in landslides.In this paper,the sliding zone soil from a giant landslide in the biggest hydropower project area,Three Gorges Reservoir Area,is taken as the research case.The particlesize distribution of the sliding zone soil from this landslide is studied and fractal dimension is adopted as representation.Periodic saturation-drying is introduced as the affecting factor on sliding zone soil properties.The triaxial compression test is conducted to reveal the mechanical behavior of the soil,including stress-strain behavior,elastic modulus,failure stress and strength parameters.These behavior of sliding zone soils with different fractal dimensions are studied under the effects of periodic saturation-drying cycles.The normalized stress-strain curves are displayed for further calculation.The data considering saturation-drying cycles are obtained and compared with the experimental results.
文摘In contrast to previous studies that investigated the impact of the investment groups’trading volume on the volatility of the stock index,this research,inspired by behavioral finance literature,aims to evaluate the dynamic bi-directional relationship between the trading behavior of investor groups(institutional and noninstitutional)and stock index fluctuations in different positions(long and short)and market conditions(the pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 periods)in the Turkish stock market.The results indicate a bidirectional relationship between the stock index return(SIR)and the trading behavior of online individual traders(OIT)and equity mutual and pension funds(EMPF).However,this relationship varies depending on the trading positions of different investor groups.Also,there is a unidirectional relationship between the SIR and the trading behavior of the diversified equity funds(DEF).During the pandemic period,the role of online traders became more prominent,coinciding with their increased participation in the market,significantly affecting and being affected by stock index fluctuations.We also evaluated some behavioral biases(including overconfidence and asymmetric reaction)and the trading strategy of investor groups(with their performance).Results suggest that the online individual traders were less(more)overconfident than other groups in the prepandemic(pandemic)period.Additionally,all groups had an asymmetric reaction to the positive and negative SIR shocks.This research,contributing to the field of financial innovation and aligning with behavioral finance principles,reveals a fascinating finding:individual investors react to stock index fluctuations,largely driven by institutional investors,despite lacking access to new fundamental information about their portfolio stocks.These findings have significant implications for investors and market regulators.Recognizing and addressing behavioral biases is crucial for individual investors as they strive to make informed and successful financial decisions.It is concluded that the surge in retail investment is a phenomenon;hence,more effort is required for their investment stability in the Turkish stock market.
文摘In the evolving landscape of Tourette’s syndrome(TS)treatment,behavioral therapies have emerged as essential to address the comorbid psychological issues,as well as motor and vocal tics.This editorial comments on the study by Wang et al,which showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy(CBT)combined with habit reversal training significantly improved anxiety and tic severity in children with TS.We highlight the current status and future perspectives of behavioral interventions such as CBT,and comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics,demonstrating their efficacy in alleviating TS symptoms and improving patients'quality of life.Recognizing the multifaceted nature of TS,our discussion integrates empirical evidence from various studies to provide a comprehensive perspective on the role of behavioral therapy in the management of this complex condition.This editorial concludes by emphasizing the need for innovative strategies that may address the limitations of existing treatments and advocates a multidisciplinary approach that combines behavioral,pharmacological,and neurobiological interventions to improve outcomes for patients with TS.

文摘Intraspecific conflict induced by the innate aggressiveness is one of the main reasons for the extremely low survival rate in mud crab Scylla paramamosain aquaculture,which have impeded the sustainable culture of the species.In this study,we first classified and quantified the aggressive behavior,and established a crab aggressive behavior model,laying the foundation for subsequent research on evaluating combat intensity.The contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),dopamine(DA),and cAMP in the hemolymph of the mud crabs before and after fighting were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS),and the mud crabs exhibited a significant increase of 5-HT(P<0.05),while the DA and cAMP decreased significantly(P<0.05).In addition,we applied EthoVision to examine the changes of the crab behavior after DA administration.After 0.5 h of injection,the movement speed,distance,duration of aggressive behavior,and intensity of aggression in the high concentration DA group were significantly higher than those in the saline injection group and the untreated control group(P<0.05).The results of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT PCR)analysis showed that the expression of DA 1 in the thoracic ganglia of the mud crabs was significantly down-regulated in the DA injection group,and the aggressive behavior was weakened.Conversely,DA1 expression was up-regulated when aggressive behavior was strengthened.Besides,there were significant differences in the expression levels of receptor expression genes including 5-HT1,5-HT2,and crustacean hyperglycemic hormone(CHH)in different tissues,indicating that the alteration of aggressive behavior of the mud crab after injection with different concentrations of DA could be regulated by changes in the expression levels of corresponding receptor genes.Our results contribute to a deeper analysis of the aggressive behavior mechanism of the mud crabs and provide a theoretical basis for reducing fighting-related mortalities in aquaculture.

文摘A recent publication by Zhou et al.[1]in Neuron demonstrates that a specific interaction between astrocytes and a subtype of neurons has an influence on complex animal behavior,namely risk assessment.The majority of neuroscientists analyzing the molecular and cellular substrate of behavior focus on neuronal circuits.Glial cells were originally described by Rudolf Virchow and the name glia refers to the Greek word for glue or putty.Thus,glial cells were long thought to represent simply the filling stuff of the brain.This view has changed dramatically in the last decades.The three major types of glial cells of the central nervous system fulfll diverse functions.Oligodendrocytes are the myelinforming cells and it has become evident that they are plastic and are able to influence neuronal connectivity.Microglia are the immune cells of the brain and interact with synapses during development,in plasticity,and very prominently in any disease of the nervous system.

文摘The corrosion behavior of Q420 steel under constant temperature and freezing-thawing conditions is investigated.The steel exhibits the highest corrosion rate at 25℃ and the lowest corrosion rate at−30℃,while the steel that undergoes freezing-thawing cycling shows lower corrosion rate than that at 0℃.The localized corrosion is significantly affected by the temperature variations,with the samples corroded under freezing-thawing conditions showing the highest pit number density and the highest possibility of the pit initiation.The samples immersed at 0 and 25℃ show comparable pit size with higher pit depth,diameter,and volume,attributed to the higher rate of pit propagation along the vertical and horizontal directions.Galvanic corrosion results demonstrate that there are areas of activated metal under the ice,which form microcells with surrounding unaffected areas,attributed to the local ion concentration and the water crystallization.

文摘The growing demand for geothermal energy exploration and deep engineering projects necessitates a deeper understanding of rock behavior under extreme thermal conditions.This study investigates the effect of thermal treatment on the shear behavior of sedimentary sandstone and igneous granite,which are abundant in the Earth's crust.Direct shear tests were conducted on rock joints at room temperature(RT),250℃,and 500℃.The results show that the joints in sandstone and granite exhibit improved compressive and shear strength up to a temperature threshold of 200℃–350℃,followed by significant weakening beyond this range.This study investigated key parameters,including normal and shear stiffness,maximum joint closure,peak and residual shear strengths,internal friction angle,dilation angle,and cohesion.The compressive behavior of both rock types followed a modifiedBandis's equation.The peak shear strength followed Patton's bilinear and Jaeger's nonlinear failure criteria more accurately than the Mohr–Coulomb criterion.The results of this study provide valuable insights into the temperature-dependent behavior of sandstone and granite joints under compressive and shear loads,and their interoperation was strongly dependent on the mineralogical and structural components of the two rock types.These results have advanced our understanding of the temperature-dependent behavior of rock fractures,improving the safety of underground structures under thermal effects.
