文摘Landslide hazard detection is a prevalent problem in remote sensing studies,particularly with the technological advancement of computer vision.With the continuous and exceptional growth of the computational environment,the manual and partially automated procedure of landslide detection from remotely sensed images has shifted toward automatic methods with deep learning.Furthermore,attention models,driven by human visual procedures,have become vital in natural hazard-related studies.Hence,this paper proposes an enhanced YOLOv5(You Only Look Once version 5)network for improved satellite-based landslide detection,embedded with two popular attention modules:CBAM(Convolutional Block Attention Module)and ECA(Efficient Channel Attention).These attention mechanisms are incorporated into the backbone and neck of the YOLOv5 architecture,distinctly,and evaluated across three YOLOv5 variants:nano(n),small(s),and medium(m).The experiments use opensource satellite images from three distinct regions with complex terrain.The standard metrics,including F-score,precision,recall,and mean average precision(mAP),are computed for quantitative assessment.The YOLOv5n+CBAM demonstrates the most optimal results with an F-score of 77.2%,confirming its effectiveness.The suggested attention-driven architecture augments detection accuracy,supporting post-landslide event assessment and recovery.

文摘This study proposes an efficient traffic classification model to address the growing threat of distributed denial-of-service(DDoS)attacks in 5th generation technology standard(5G)slicing networks.The proposed method utilizes an ensemble of encoder components from multiple autoencoders to compress and extract latent representations from high-dimensional traffic data.These representations are then used as input for a support vector machine(SVM)-based metadata classifier,enabling precise detection of attack traffic.This architecture is designed to achieve both high detection accuracy and training efficiency,while adapting flexibly to the diverse service requirements and complexity of 5G network slicing.The model was evaluated using the DDoS Datasets 2022,collected in a simulated 5G slicing environment.Experiments were conducted under both class-balanced and class-imbalanced conditions.In the balanced setting,the model achieved an accuracy of 89.33%,an F1-score of 88.23%,and an Area Under the Curve(AUC)of 89.45%.In the imbalanced setting(attack:normal 7:3),the model maintained strong robustness,=achieving a recall of 100%and an F1-score of 90.91%,demonstrating its effectiveness in diverse real-world scenarios.Compared to existing AI-based detection methods,the proposed model showed higher precision,better handling of class imbalance,and strong generalization performance.Moreover,its modular structure is well-suited for deployment in containerized network function(NF)environments,making it a practical solution for real-world 5G infrastructure.These results highlight the potential of the proposed approach to enhance both the security and operational resilience of 5G slicing networks.

文摘OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of Tonglaga-5(通拉嘎-5,TLG-5)for the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG),based on network pharmacology and metabolomics.METHODS:Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups(n=8):control group;model group;teprenone group,and low-,median-,and high-dose TLG-5 groups.The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure the expression of pepsinogenⅠ(PGⅠ),pepsinogenⅡ(PGⅡ)and gastrin-17(G-17)in the serum.Hematoxylin and eosin staining were performed to observe the pathological condition.And the network pharmacology was employed to identify the targets and signaling pathways of TLG-5 affecting CAG.Then,the metabolomics approach was applied to explore the specific metabolites and metabolic pathways.Finally,validation was performed using the“metabolite-gene”interaction network,molecular docking and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(q PCR).RESULTS:High-dose TLG-5 significantly improved the expression of PGⅠ,PGR(PGⅠ/PGⅡ)and G-17(P<0.05)and inhibited the expression of phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 2,AKT serine/threonine kinase(AKT),hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha(HIF-1α)(P<0.05).Further,high-dose TLG-5 reduced the number of glands was reduced,and fibrosis with oedema and ecchymosis appeared at the base.Overlapping TLG-5 and CAG gene targets produced 270 interactive targets.The results of gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analyses suggested that TLG-5 could affect CAG through the predominantly cancer and inflammation-related pathways.Pyrimidine metabolism was identified as a significantly differential pathway in the mechanism of TLG-5 for treating CAG.CONCLUSIONS:TLG-5 exerts a therapeutic effect on CAG by regulatingβ-alanine metabolism,pyrimidine metabolism pathways,and inhibiting the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and HIF-1 signaling pathways.

文摘5G technology has endowed mobile communication terminals with features such as ultrawideband access,low latency,and high reliability transmission,which can complete the network access and interconnection of a large number of devices,thus realizing richer application scenarios and constructing 5G-enabled vehicular networks.However,due to the vulnerability of wireless communication,vehicle privacy and communication security have become the key problems to be solved in vehicular networks.Moreover,the large-scale communication in the vehicular networks also makes the higher communication efficiency an inevitable requirement.In order to achieve efficient and secure communication while protecting vehicle privacy,this paper proposes a lightweight key agreement and key update scheme for 5G vehicular networks based on blockchain.Firstly,the key agreement is accomplished using certificateless public key cryptography,and based on the aggregate signature and the cooperation between the vehicle and the trusted authority,an efficient key updating method is proposed,which reduces the overhead and protects the privacy of the vehicle while ensuring the communication security.Secondly,by introducing blockchain and using smart contracts to load the vehicle public key table for key management,this meets the requirements of vehicle traceability and can dynamically track and revoke misbehaving vehicles.Finally,the formal security proof under the eck security model and the informal security analysis is conducted,it turns out that our scheme is more secure than other authentication schemes in the vehicular networks.Performance analysis shows that our scheme has lower overhead than existing schemes in terms of communication and computation.

文摘In the traditional manufacturing industry system,the ceramic industry occupies animportant position due to its unique technological characteristics.As the core equipment for theproduction of artistic and daily-use ceramics,the intermittent kiln has become an indispensable keylink in the industry by virtue of its advantage of flexibly adapting to the production of multiplevarieties in small batches.However,the current operation mode of ceramic intermittent kilns facessevere challenges:although instrument control has been initially achieved,the dependence on on-site manual operation and supervision,combined with the characteristics of small-scale andworkshop-style production,has led to widespread blind spots in supervision and numerous safetyrisks.Existing technologies mainly focus on the improvement of the kiln structure and theoptimization of local control,which is difficult to meet the complex requirements of collaborativemanagement and control of multiple kilns.The centralized ceramic kiln management and controldevice proposed in this paper deeply integrates Internet of Things technology and constructs anintelligent management system covering the entire ceramic production area.By collecting andtransmitting the operation data of the kiln in real time,this device not only enables all-weatherprecise monitoring of the state of the intermittent kiln,but also has the functions of intelligentaccident warning and remote control,providing a new technical path and practical model for theintelligent and safe development of the ceramic industry.

文摘Low-carbon smart parks achieve selfbalanced carbon emission and absorption through the cooperative scheduling of direct current(DC)-based distributed photovoltaic,energy storage units,and loads.Direct current power line communication(DC-PLC)enables real-time data transmission on DC power lines.With traffic adaptation,DC-PLC can be integrated with other complementary media such as 5G to reduce transmission delay and improve reliability.However,traffic adaptation for DC-PLC and 5G integration still faces the challenges such as coupling between traffic admission control and traffic partition,dimensionality curse,and the ignorance of extreme event occurrence.To address these challenges,we propose a deep reinforcement learning(DRL)-based delay sensitive and reliable traffic adaptation algorithm(DSRTA)to minimize the total queuing delay under the constraints of traffic admission control,queuing delay,and extreme events occurrence probability.DSRTA jointly optimizes traffic admission control and traffic partition,and enables learning-based intelligent traffic adaptation.The long-term constraints are incorporated into both state and bound of drift-pluspenalty to achieve delay awareness and enforce reliability guarantee.Simulation results show that DSRTA has lower queuing delay and more reliable quality of service(QoS)guarantee than other state-of-the-art algorithms.

文摘Preliminary studies on emerging herbal ingredients have highlighted alternative pathways that inflammation and modulate perturbed immunity as valuable strategies for treating depression.Previous studies have shown that 5-O-methylvisammioside,a bioactive compound derived from Saposhnikoviae Radix,possesses excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant biological functions,exhibits a neuroprotective effect.The purpose of this study was to explore the targets and signaling pathways of 5-O-methylvisammioside in the potential treatment of major depressive disorder using a combination of network pharmacology analysis and biological experiments.The network pharmacological analysis results indicated that the proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src and the nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway were highly correlated with the treatment of major depressive disorder with 5-O-methylvisammioside.Further experiments indicated that 5-O-methylvisammioside significantly improved lipopolysaccharide-induced depression-like behaviors in mice,ameliorated microglial polarization in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions,and inhibited Src phosphorylation and nuclear factor kappa B pathway activation.The effects of 5-O-methylvisammioside were similar to those of the Src inhibitor PP2.When 5-O-methylvisammioside was administered with PP2,no effects were observed on lipopolysaccharide-induced depression-like behaviors in mice,nuclear factor kappa B pathway proteins,and microglial polarization.These findings indicate that 5-O-methylvisammioside may exert its antidepressant potential by inhibiting Src-mediated activation of the nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway.Therefore,5-O-methylvisammioside might serve as a promising Chinese herbal medicine for the prevention and treatment of depression.
