文摘With its growth in spacecraft control applications,the microcontroller(MCU)becomes increasingly sensitive to radiation and the risks of system failure.In a radiation environment,the MCU is vulnerable to impacts from high-energy particles,which can lead to single-event effect(SEE)that disrupt normal system operations.The pipeline of MCU,being the core structure of the system,is particularly susceptible to single-event upset(SEU)and potentially causes execution failures.However,existing radiation-hardening techniques offer limited effectiveness for pipelines.To enhance SEU resistance,this study focused on a 32-bit MCU core with eight pipeline stages,proposing a pipeline hardening approach that utilizes lockstep technology to improve fault tolerance.Signals from two processors were compared including register write data,register contents and pre-fetched instructions.Any discrepancies triggered error flags to indicate faults.When an error flag was raised,recovery was initiated through an interrupt.The interrupt handler then retrieved state information from the advanced peripheral bus(APB)slave module to restore the CPU's operational state and resume execution.By combining hardware-based state preservation with software-driven error recovery,the proposed solution demonstrated significant improvements in fault tolerance rates and performance compared to traditional checkpoint-based techniques.After completing the pipeline hardening design,a fault injection platform was utilized in this paper to simulate real-world error conditions on internal processor modules.The platform was developed based on the circuit's register-transfer-level(RTL)design and statistical results.The fault injection platform was performed by automatically finding all registers within the target design.The register values were forced to upset at the tens of nanoseconds scale in the RTL description of the circuit's design.After running the circuit's functional simulation,the statistics of the faults in registers were displayed on the platform,which evaluated the influence of SEU.The vulnerability of SEU in the circuit could be observed from the results of the soft error statistics.The post-hardening soft error rates were then measured and compared to pre-hardening data,providing a quantitative evaluation of the improvements.Using this method,the soft error rates of the modules in the MCU core such as PFU,DPU,and Cache AXIM are 40.07%,26.36%,and 27.29%respectively before hardening.The soft error rates of modules mentioned above are reduced to 0%,0.69%,and 1.11%after hardening.The hardened and non-hardened designs of the entire core were implemented in FPGA.The total resource utilization of the triple mode redundancy(TMR)is 111984,as indicated by the number of look-up tables(LUTs)and registers consumed in the FPGA.The total resource utilization of this work is 78034,and the ratio of resource utilization between this work and TMR is approximately 69.68%.The error recovery time for the hardened MCU processor was analyzed using the completion cycles of a bubble sort algorithm as a benchmark.In this paper,the average recovery cycle using the software checkpoint roll-back method is 36479.06,and the average recovery cycle using this work is 26922.5.The ratio of recovery cycles between this work and checkpoint roll-back is about 73.8%.Assessments through random fault injection and FPGA implementation indicate that this approach effectively reduces processor faults caused by soft errors while optimizing resource utilization and efficiency over triplemodular redundancy.

文摘Early knee osteoarthritis(KOA)is characterized by progressive degeneration of the articular cartilage,synovial inflammation,and excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species(ROS).At present,intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid(HA)is widely used to alleviate symptoms;however,its lubrication persistence,antioxidant,and anti-inflammatory abilities are limited,and it is difficult to effectively delay the early process of cartilage degeneration.Based on this,hyaluronic acid-g-lipoic acid(HA-LA)was synthesized by esterification reaction,and HA-LA microspheres were prepared by a reversed-phase emulsion method,which was combined with a macromolecular HA-LA solution to form injectable hydrogels.The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an injectable hydrogel based on hyaluronic acid-g-lipoic acid microspheres(HA-LA MS)for the treatment of KOA and to verify its injectability,lubricity,reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenging ability,and anti-inflammatory effects.The results show that the HA-LA MS hydrogel has excellent shear thinning characteristics and continuous injectability,and its microsphere structure significantly reduces the interfacial friction coefficient through the rolling effect.In vitro experiments have shown that the hydrogel can efficiently scavenge ROS,reduce the expression of inflammatory factors,and is non-cytotoxic.The HA-LA MS injectable hydrogel has excellent lubricity,ROS scavenging ability,and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo,which can effectively delay the degeneration of early KOA cartilage,and its efficacy is significantly better than that of traditional hyaluronic acid,making it a promising intra-articular injection preparation.

文摘BACKGROUND The previous studies have primarily focused on the influence of botulinum toxin A(BoNT-A)injection on emotions during the period of peak motor symptom improvement in blepharospasm patients,based on facial feedback hypothesis.AIM To evaluate the sustained anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of BoNT-A in blepharospasm patients beyond motor symptom control.METHODS We recruited benign essential blepharospasm patients with BoNT-A treatment and collected their data to compare scale scores of Jankovic Rating Scale,Blepharospasm Disability Index,Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS),Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Scale between pretreatment(baseline)and pre-reinjection(treatment),to further assess the effects of repeated treatments with BoNT by using sub-group analyses in the certain special states.RESULTS A total of 21 eligible blepharospasm patients were with the mean age of 58.4 years and a male-to-female ratio of 1:6.Significantly decreases in the subscale scores of SDS and SAS,including SDS well-being index,decreased capacity and hard to decide,SAS inability to sit still and headache were showed at post-a single BoNT-A injection when scale scores of Jankovic Rating Scale and Blepharospasm Disability Index were matched between baseline and posttreatment.With each additional BoNT-A injection,the odds ratio of patients with the moderate depressive symptoms decreased by 92.6%.Moreover,BoNT treatment remained a decrease in the subscale scores of SDS and SAS in patients with repeated injections.CONCLUSION This study is to demonstrate that repeated BoNT-A injection have a long-lasting relief for anxiety and depressive symptoms in blepharospasm even after its motor symptom-modulating effects have diminished.
文摘Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection of faricimab and conbercept in the treatment of diabetic macular edema(DME).Methods:A total of 50 patients diagnosed with DME in our hospital from January 2023 to May 2025 were selected and randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 25 cases in each group,using a random number table method.The observation group received intravitreal injection of faricimab,while the control group received intravitreal injection of conbercept.Both groups adopted a loading phase plus maintenance phase treatment regimen.The best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA,expressed in logMAR)and central subfield thickness(CST)of the two groups were compared before treatment and at 1,3,and 6 months after treatment,and the incidence of adverse events during treatment was recorded.Results:The logMAR BCVA in the observation group was lower than that in the control group at 3 and 6 months after treatment(both p<0.05).The CST in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group at 1,3,and 6 months after treatment(all p<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the overall incidence of adverse events between the two groups(χ^(2)=0.189,p=0.663).Conclusion:Both intravitreal injections of faricimab and conbercept are effective in improving visual acuity and reducing macular edema in patients with DME,with good safety profiles.However,faricimab demonstrates superior efficacy in the medium to long term(3 and 6 months)compared to conbercept,making it more suitable for long-term treatment of patients with DME.

文摘To address the kinetic constraints inherent in the catalytic combustion of pulverized coal injection under low heating-rate conditions within conventional air atmospheres,a drop tube furnace was utilized to simulate the catalytic combustion of pulverized coal(PC).The effects of gas composition,oxygen concentration,the type,and the content of catalysts on the combustion reactivity were systematically analyzed.Furthermore,the structural changes of unburned pulverized coal were also examined.Experimental results indicate that as the oxygen concentration increased from 21%to 79%,compared with the O_(2)/N_(2)condition,the increment in the burnout rate of PC under the O_(2)/CO_(2)condition increased from 3%to 23%.After the addition of catalysts,including hematite,metallurgical oil sludge,and light-burnt dolomite(LBD),under the condition of 21%oxygen concentration,the effects of the three catalysts under the O_(2)/CO_(2)condition were superior to those under the O_(2)/N_(2)condition.This trend was reversed under the conditions of 38%and 79%oxygen concentrations.In all atmospheres,the three catalysts can enhance the burnout rate of PC.Among them,LBD exhibits the most favorable effect,and there exists an optimal dosage.Mechanistic analysis through scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction,and N_(2)adsorption-desorption reveals that under 21%O_(2)/79%CO_(2)conditions,high-concentration CO_(2)leads to the formation of pores,and additives accelerate the oxidation of C and the gasification of CO_(2)through oxygen transfer,thereby enhancing the burnout rate of PC.
文摘Background:Penile augmentation through injectable substances is becoming increasingly common.A growing number of aesthetic clinics are developing penile enlargement procedures using various injectable materials.Although these procedures are now performed in more controlled and medically supervised environments,their long-term outcomes remain poorly understood.The promotion of such medical treatments contributes to an increasing interest among adult males in self-injection as a method to alleviate psychological distress associated with penile size concerns.At the same time,access to injectable substances through unofficial or unregulated sources has become increasingly easy.Tor our knowledge,we report the first documented case of self-injection with Garamycin®(gentamicin)cream,contributing to the literature on the often multidisciplinary management of penile enlargement injections,a field still lacking well-established guidelines.Case Description:This case report describes a young patient who self-injected Garamycin®into the penis for the purpose of enlargement.He presented to our urology department with worsening symptoms,including severe and poorly tolerated pain.His primary request was prompt relief of pain while preserving,as much as possible,the aesthetic appearance and functional integrity of his penis.This case required a multi-stage surgical approach to salvage the penis and preserve both its structural integrity and functional outcome.Conclusions:To our knowledge,this case report documents the first reported instance of Garamycin®injection performed for the purpose of penile enlargement.It provides insight into the clinical course of such penile cream injections,demonstrates that a two-stage scrotal flap can achieve both functional and aesthetic outcomes,and highlights the importance of comprehensive management particularly addressing the traumatic impact of penile deformity secondary to inflammation and/or infection,as well as the body dysmorphic concerns often associated with these cases.
文摘BACKGROUND Coronary microembolization(CME)is the major leading cause of perioperative myocardial injury during coronary revascularization.Semaglutide exerts multiple protective biological activities,but its cardioprotective effects on CME remain unclear.Thus,this experiment studied the impact of semaglutide on CME-induced myocardial injury.METHODS A rat CME model was generated by injecting microspheres into the left ventricle while clamping the ascending aorta.A H9c2 cardiomyocyte model was constructed by stimulation of lipopolysaccharide combined with hypoxia.Semaglutide or the high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)antagonist glycyrrhizin administrations were ahead of CME and cell modeling.Cardiac function,myocardial injury markers,cell viability and morphological alternations were detected.Apoptotic and inflammatory factors,cytosolic HMGB1 and its translocation,advanced glycosylation end-product specific receptor(RAGE),and nuclear factor kappa B p65(NF-κB p65)were evaluated.RESULTS Semaglutide pretreatment ameliorated CME-induced cardiac systolic dysfunction and relieved the cardiac injury.Semaglutide attenuated myocardial apoptosis and inflammatory response following CME in vivo and in vitro.Moreover,semaglutide downregulated HMGB1 expression and suppressed its nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation.Both glycyrrhizin and semaglutide administration affected the HMGB1/RAGE/NF-κB p65 pathway after CME.CONCLUSIONS Semaglutide pretreatment attenuates CME-induced myocardial injury by suppressing apoptosis and inflammation through the HMGB1/RAGE/NF-κB p65 pathway.

文摘The Southern Advanced Photon Source(SAPS)is a diffraction-limited synchrotron light source under design,which employs longitudinal injection as its primary injection scheme.This kind of injection scheme requires that the injected beam has a short bunch length and low emittance,and the preferred injector should offer high stability and low cost.Therefore,an injector based on a booster synchrotron was developed.The proposed injector includes a 250 MeV linac,a booster synchrotron that ramps the beam energy to 3.5 GeV,and two beam transport lines to ensure efficient beam delivery and beam quality preservation.The linac utilizes a thermionic high-voltage DC gun for reliable operation and features a bunching system with an advanced focusing system to preserve the emittance.To meet the injection requirements of the SAPS,a comprehensive design for the booster has been conducted.The booster synchrotron employs a threefold lattice structure,incorporating modified theoretical minimum emittance cells with a small momentum compaction factor and a high voltage to achieve an emittance of 3.98 nm rad and a bunch length of 4.8 mm.The injector has the potential to deliver a high charge,reducing the injection period of the storage ring to less than 1 min.Simulations demonstrated the expected performance,with a transmission efficiency of 90%,confirming its capability to meet the injection requirement of the SAPS storage ring.This design offers a stable and efficient solution for the SAPS.

文摘Powder-Fueled Water Ramjet Engine(PFWRE)is the most promising powerplant in underwater high-speed propulsion.However,the effect of powder injection mode on its performance and the mechanism of this effect are not well understood.In this paper,a computational framework for multiphase combustion flow is developed and validated.Further,the effects of different injection schemes on flow combustion characteristics and engine performance are evaluated via simulation.Our findings indicate that the dominant recirculation zone in front of the primary water inlet delivers water vapor to the combustor head,providing the necessary oxidant for the ignition and combustion of Al particles.Changing the injection parameters directly affects the flame zone distribution and the ability of the recirculation zone to deliver water vapor,leading to variations in particle ignition delay.The engine combustion efficiency and specific impulse efficiency exhibit a negative correlation with injection height,peaking before declining with increased injection angle.It is shown that particle mixing degree and particle dispersion degree are closely related to engine performance.Enhanced particle mixing in front of the primary water inlet and particle dispersion behind the secondary water inlet are considered favorable approaches to improve engine performance,which promotes the particle combustion process and improves the heat-work conversion efficiency.

文摘Large language models(LLMs)have revolutionized AI applications across diverse domains.However,their widespread deployment has introduced critical security vulnerabilities,particularly prompt injection attacks that manipulate model behavior through malicious instructions.Following Kitchenham’s guidelines,this systematic review synthesizes 128 peer-reviewed studies from 2022 to 2025 to provide a unified understanding of this rapidly evolving threat landscape.Our findings reveal a swift progression from simple direct injections to sophisticated multimodal attacks,achieving over 90%success rates against unprotected systems.In response,defense mechanisms show varying effectiveness:input preprocessing achieves 60%–80%detection rates and advanced architectural defenses demonstrate up to 95%protection against known patterns,though significant gaps persist against novel attack vectors.We identified 37 distinct defense approaches across three categories,but standardized evaluation frameworks remain limited.Our analysis attributes these vulnerabilities to fundamental LLM architectural limitations,such as the inability to distinguish instructions from data and attention mechanism vulnerabilities.This highlights critical research directions such as formal verification methods,standardized evaluation protocols,and architectural innovations for inherently secure LLM designs.

文摘Subretinal injection(SI)is recognized as the most effective method for treating retinal degenerative and genetic diseases,enabling targeted delivery of therapeutic agents such as viral vectors or stem cells directly into the subretinal space(SRS).However,this procedure is typically performed under extremely constrained intraocular conditions,characterized by limited visualization,lack of tactile feedback,and the inherent fragility of retinal tissues,significantly increasing the risk of surgical complications and potential vision impairment.To overcome these challenges,an integrated force-sensing microneedle equipped with a flexible joint was developed and integrated into an ophthalmic surgical robotic system.This advanced system provides precise needle-tip pose control and real-time puncture force feedback.Leveraging these capabilities,force-guided autonomous retinal puncture was achieved,ensuring accurate and consistent drug delivery into the SRS.Comparative experiments conducted on live Bama pigs demonstrated the robotic system's superiority over manual SI techniques,as evidenced by more stable puncture trajectories,smoother insertion velocities,precise insertion depths,and a greater than 90%reduction in average puncture force,despite respiratory and cardiac-induced disturbances,thus significantly enhancing surgical precision and minimizing the risk of iatrogenic retinal injury.Postoperative evaluations further validated that the robotic approach markedly reduced drug reflux into the vitreous cavity,underscoring its reliability and safety for SI.

文摘This paper presents the results of free-jet experiments conducted on an internal injection oblique detonation engine in a large-scale hypersonic shock tunnel.To overcome the challenges of non-uniform mixing and the failure of oblique detonation wave initiation when using liquid fuel,a combined strut-wall injection configuration was employed.Initiation was achieved by introducing a bump structure on the wedge.The results demonstrate that this strategy for mixing and initiation effectively establishes the oblique detonation wave combustion flow field.To further investigate the fuel mixing and initiation processes in the oblique detonation engine,three-dimensional numerical simulations consistent with the experimental conditions were carried out using the ReynoldsAveraged Navier-Stokes(RANS)method.The simulation results reveal that the high-speed gas flow generates shock waves as it passes through the central strut and transverse fuel jets.These shock waves are reflected by the wall,forming a series of shocks in the mixing section.The kerosene injected from the strut injectors does not react during the mixing phase.However,due to the influence of the high-temperature boundary layer,the kerosene injected through the wall undergoes precombustion.The separation zone upstream of the bump generates separation shock waves,allowing the multi-wave point to stabilize at a short distance from the leading edge of the wedge.
文摘When a porous rock is subjected to overall compressive loading,either increasing pore pressure or decreasing confining pressure could result in rock failure.The stress path and the applied pressure change rate may affect the initiation and propagation of fractures within brittle materials.Understanding the physical mechanisms leading to failure is crucial for underground engineering applications and geo-energy exploration and storage.We conducted triaxial compression experiments on porous Bentheim sandstone samples at different stress paths and pressure change rates.First,at a constant confining pressure of 35 MPa and pore pressure of 5 MPa,intact cylindrical samples were axially loaded up to about 85%of the peak strength.Subsequently,the axial piston position was fixed,and then either the pore pressure was increased or the confining pressure was decreased at two different rates(0.5 MPa/min or 2 MPa/min),leading to final catastrophic failure.The mechanical results revealed that samples subjected to higher rates of decreasing effective confining pressure exhibited larger stress drop rates,higher slip rates,higher total breakdown work,higher rates of acoustic emissions(AEs)before failure,and higher post-failure AE decay rates.In contrast,the applied stress path did not significantly affect rock failure characteristics.Comparison of located AE events with post-mortem microstructures of deformed samples shows a good agreement.The AE source type determined from the P-wave first-motion polarity shows that shear failure dominated the fracture process when approaching failure.Gutenberg-Richter b-values revealed a significant decrease before failure in all tests.Our results indicate that,in contrast to the stress path,the rate of effective stress change strongly affects fracturing behavior and AE rate changes.

文摘While Large Language Models(LLMs)possess the capability to perform a wide range of tasks,security attacks known as prompt injection and jailbreaking remain critical challenges.Existing defense approaches addressing this problem face challenges such as the over-refusal of prompts that contain harmful vocabulary but are semantically benign,and the limited accuracy improvement inmachine learning-based approaches due to the ease of distinguishing benign prompts in existing datasets.Therefore,we propose a multi-LLM agent framework aimed at achieving both the accurate rejection of harmful prompts and appropriate responses to benign prompts.Distinct from prior studies,the proposed method adopts In-Context Learning(ICL)during the learning phase,presenting a novel approach that obviates the need for computationally expensive parameter updates required by conventional fine-tuning.To demonstrate the proposed method’s capability for rapid and easy deployment,this study targets LLMs with insufficient alignment.In the experiments,macro-averaged binary classification metrics were used to comprehensively evaluate harmfulness detection.Experimental results using three LLMs demonstrated that the proposed method achieved performance that surpassed four baselines across all evaluation metrics for the target LLMs,evidencing significant effectiveness with an average improvement of 16.6 points in F1-score compared to the vanilla models.The significance of this study lies in the proposal of a novel approach based on ICL that does not require parameter updates.This framework offers high sustainability in practical deployment,as it allows for the adaptive enhancement of detection performance against continuously evolving attack methods solely through the accumulation of logs,without the necessity of retraining the LLM itself.By mitigating the trade-off between safety and utility,this research contributes to the implementation of robust LLMs.

文摘OBJECTIVE:To assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of Danshen injection(丹参注射液)following immunosuppressive therapy in primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS)with acute kidney injury(AKI)patients.METHODS:PNS with AKI patients selected from nephrotic syndrome inpatients between 2012 and 2022 were divided into two groups according to the treatment regimen:the DS group who were treated with the Danshen injection and the SC group who received supportive care.Propensity score matching was used to balance the confounding factors between the two groups.The outcomes were complete and partial renal function recovery for effectiveness analysis and severe bleeding events for safety analysis.Kaplan-Meier curves and logrank tests were used to compare cumulative recovery rates.Outcome risks were assessed using Cox proportional hazard regression models.RESULTS:The study enrolled 441 patients with PNS and AKI from a population of 3873 inpatients with nephrotic syndrome.Among them,95 received Danshen injection,and 346 received supportive care.After propensity score matching,95 patients in the DS group and 285 patients in the SC group were analyzed.No significant difference was observed in the complete recovery rate for the DS group vs SC group(72.9%vs 65.1%,P=0.130)at 6 months.Compared with the SC group,the DS group was associated with a significantly higher partial recovery rate(71.0%vs 37.5%,P=0.011)at 6 months and all recovery rates(93.4%vs 79.1%,P=0.006)at 6 months.CONCLUSION:In this real-world retrospective study of PNS with AKI patients,Danshen injection following immunosuppressive therapy and prophylactic anticoagulation with low molecular heparin significantly increased 6-month partial renal function recovery and had a safety profile.Further randomized clinical trials are warranted to confirm the benefit of Danshen(Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae)in these patients.
文摘Objective:To investigate the impact of anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)levels on the outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI)cycles in women of advanced age and also to explore the effect of age on the ICSI results in patients with low AMH levels.Methods:This retrospective cohort study involved 143 infertile couples undergoing ICSI cycles at a fertility clinic in Iran from November 2021 to November 2023.Women aged<37 years with AMH<1 ng/mL and those aged≥37 years were included.A standardized ovarian stimulation protocol was followed,leading to oocyte retrieval and ICSI on mature oocytes.Key oocyte quality indexes,including the maturation rate,fertilization rate,and embryo quality metrics,were evaluated.Poisson regression analyses were also employed to investigate the association between AMH levels and oocyte quality parameters in the advanced age groups,as well as the association between age and oocyte quality parameters in patients with low AMH.Results:We analyzed 143 ICSI cycles from 143 infertile couples.The mean ages of the women and their partners were(38.2±4.7)years and(40.6±5.9)years,respectively,with a median(IQR)AMH level of 0.7(0.4–2.0)ng/mL.Younger women with low AMH levels(<1 ng/mL)showed significantly better outcomes in terms of the number of MⅡ oocytes[adjusted odds ratio(aOR)1.89,95%CI 1.31-2.71;P=0.001],fertilized(2PN)oocytes(aOR 1.97,95%CI 1.36-2.86;P<0.001),embryo number(aOR 2.16,95%CI 1.44-3.24;P<0.001),and embryos suitable for freezing(aOR 2.88,95%CI 1.80-4.61;P<0.001)compared to advanced-age women.Furthermore,among women of advanced age,those with normal AMH levels exhibited a significantly higher number of MⅡ oocyte(aOR 3.55,95%CI 2.31-5.44;P<0.001),fertilized(2PN)oocytes(aOR 3.54,95%CI 2.29-5.49;P<0.001),embryo number(aOR 3.89,95%CI 2.48-6.10;P<0.001),and embryos suitable for freezing(aOR 4.75,95%CI 2.79-8.09;P<0.001)compared to those with low AMH levels.Conclusions:AMH level is a significant predictor of oocyte and embryo number and quality in infertile women of advanced age undergoing ICSI cycles.Our findings suggest that maternal age markedly impacts the quality of oocytes and embryos in low AMHlevel patients.
文摘The increasing integration of cyber-physical components in Industry 4.0 water infrastructures has heightened the risk of false data injection(FDI)attacks,posing critical threats to operational integrity,resource management,and public safety.Traditional detection mechanisms often struggle to generalize across heterogeneous environments or adapt to sophisticated,stealthy threats.To address these challenges,we propose a novel evolutionary optimized transformer-based deep reinforcement learning framework(Evo-Transformer-DRL)designed for robust and adaptive FDI detection in smart water infrastructures.The proposed architecture integrates three powerful paradigms:a transformer encoder for modeling complex temporal dependencies in multivariate time series,a DRL agent for learning optimal decision policies in dynamic environments,and an evolutionary optimizer to fine-tune model hyper-parameters.This synergy enhances detection performance while maintaining adaptability across varying data distributions.Specifically,hyper-parameters of both the transformer and DRL modules are optimized using an improved grey wolf optimizer(IGWO),ensuring a balanced trade-off between detection accuracy and computational efficiency.The model is trained and evaluated on three realistic Industry 4.0 water datasets:secure water treatment(SWaT),water distribution(WADI),and battle of the attack detection algorithms(BATADAL),which capture diverse attack scenarios in smart treatment and distribution systems.Comparative analysis against state-of-the-art baselines including Transformer,DRL,bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT),convolutional neural network(CNN),long short-term memory(LSTM),and support vector machines(SVM)demonstrates that our proposed Evo-Transformer-DRL framework consistently outperforms others in key metrics such as accuracy,recall,area under the curve(AUC),and execution time.Notably,it achieves a maximum detection accuracy of 99.19%,highlighting its strong generalization capability across different testbeds.These results confirm the suitability of our hybrid framework for real-world Industry 4.0 deployment,where rapid adaptation,scalability,and reliability are paramount for securing critical infrastructure systems.

文摘Hybrid MMC(Hy-MMC)has broad application prospects because of the negative level output ability in its bridge arm.A Hy-MMC topology with a high-modulation ratio is designed in this paper.A second-harmonic current injection(SHCI)strategy based on Hy-MMC in high-modulation operation is also proposed to improve the power density of Hy-MMC effectively in steady-state operation.The amplitude of SHCI is determined from the perspective of the root mean square(RMS)value of bridge arm current,and the optimal initial phase angle is determined from the multi-objective optimization(capacitor voltage ripple of sub-modules(SMs),power loss,and peak value of bridge arm current).The effectiveness and engineering practicability of the proposed SHCI strategy based on Hy-MMC in high-modulation operation is verified by the electromagnetic transient(EMT)simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC®.The simulation results show that the capacitor voltage ripple of SMs can be effectively decreased by 61.98%or the capacitance can be decreased by 40%.The power loss is also analyzed.In addition,little influence of low capacitance on multi-operation conditions of Hy-MMC is verified by EMT simulation.
