In order to solve these problems, a novel weighted local standardization(WLS) strategy is proposed to standardize the multimodal data, which can eliminate the multi-mode characteristics of the collected data, and normalize them into unimodal data distribution. After detailed analysis of the raised data preprocessing strategy, a new algorithm using WLS strategy with support vector data description(SVDD) is put forward to apply for multi-mode monitoring process. Unlike the strategy of building multiple local models, the developed method only contains a model without the prior knowledge of multi-mode process. To demonstrate the proposed method's validity, it is applied to a numerical example and a Tennessee Eastman(TE) process. Finally, the simulation results show that the WLS strategy is very effective to standardize multimodal data, and the WLS-SVDD monitoring method has great advantages over the traditional SVDD and PCA combined with a local standardization strategy(LNS-PCA) in multi-mode process monitoring.展开更多

We use a new fitness function and two very effective local search procedures in the proposed MA. The fitness function makes use of a mechanism called ＂strategic oscillation＂ to make the search process have a higher probability to visit solutions around a ＂feasible boundary＂. One of the local search procedures aims at improving the lower bound of project makespan to be less than a known upper bound, and another aims at improving a solution of an MRCPSP instance accepting infeasible solutions based on the new fitness function in the search process. A detailed computational experiment is set up using instances from the problem instance library PSPLIB.

文摘BACKGROUND Stress ulcers are common complications in critically ill patients,with a higher incidence observed in older patients following gastrointestinal surgery.This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-modal intervention protocol to prevent stress ulcers in this high-risk population.AIM To assess the impact of a multi-modal intervention on preventing stress ulcers in older intensive care unit(ICU)patients postoperatively.METHODS A randomized controlled trial involving critically ill patients(aged≥65 years)admitted to the ICU after gastrointestinal surgery was conducted.Patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention group,which received a multimodal stress ulcer prevention protocol,or the control group,which received standard care.The primary outcome measure was the incidence of stress ulcers.The secondary outcomes included ulcer healing time,complication rates,and length of hospital stay.RESULTS A total of 200 patients(100 in each group)were included in this study.The intervention group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of stress ulcers than the control group(15%vs 30%,P<0.01).Additionally,the intervention group demonstrated shorter ulcer healing times(mean 5.2 vs 7.8 days,P<0.05),lower complication rates(10%vs 22%,P<0.05),and reduced length of hospital stay(mean 12.3 vs 15.7 days,P<0.05).CONCLUSION This multi-modal intervention protocol significantly reduced the incidence of stress ulcers and improved clinical outcomes in critically ill older patients after gastrointestinal surgery.This comprehensive approach may provide a valuable strategy for managing high-risk populations in intensive care settings.

文摘With the advent of the next-generation Air Traffic Control(ATC)system,there is growing interest in using Artificial Intelligence(AI)techniques to enhance Situation Awareness(SA)for ATC Controllers(ATCOs),i.e.,Intelligent SA(ISA).However,the existing AI-based SA approaches often rely on unimodal data and lack a comprehensive description and benchmark of the ISA tasks utilizing multi-modal data for real-time ATC environments.To address this gap,by analyzing the situation awareness procedure of the ATCOs,the ISA task is refined to the processing of the two primary elements,i.e.,spoken instructions and flight trajectories.Subsequently,the ISA is further formulated into Controlling Intent Understanding(CIU)and Flight Trajectory Prediction(FTP)tasks.For the CIU task,an innovative automatic speech recognition and understanding framework is designed to extract the controlling intent from unstructured and continuous ATC communications.For the FTP task,the single-and multi-horizon FTP approaches are investigated to support the high-precision prediction of the situation evolution.A total of 32 unimodal/multi-modal advanced methods with extensive evaluation metrics are introduced to conduct the benchmarks on the real-world multi-modal ATC situation dataset.Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of AI-based techniques in enhancing ISA for the ATC environment.

文摘Prostate cancer(PCa)is characterized by high incidence and propensity for easy metastasis,presenting significant challenges in clinical diagnosis and treatment.Tumor microenvironment(TME)-responsive nanomaterials provide a promising prospect for imaging-guided precision therapy.Considering that tumor-derived alkaline phosphatase(ALP)is over-expressed in metastatic PCa,it makes a great chance to develop a theranostics system with ALP responsive in the TME.Herein,an ALP-responsive aggregationinduced emission luminogens(AIEgens)nanoprobe AMNF self-assembly was designed for enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic PCa.The nanoprobe exhibited self-aggregation in the presence of ALP resulted in aggregation-induced fluorescence,and enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention period at the tumor site.In terms of detection,the fluorescence(FL)/computed tomography(CT)/magnetic resonance(MR)multi-mode imaging effect of nanoprobe was significantly improved post-aggregation,enabling precise diagnosis through the amalgamation of multiple imaging modes.Enhanced CT/MR imaging can achieve assist preoperative tumor diagnosis,and enhanced FL imaging technology can achieve“intraoperative visual navigation”,showing its potential application value in clinical tumor detection and surgical guidance.In terms of treatment,AMNF showed strong absorption in the near infrared region after aggregation,which improved the photothermal treatment effect.Overall,our work developed an effective aggregation-enhanced theranostic strategy for ALP-related cancers.
文摘Acute Bilirubin Encephalopathy(ABE)is a significant threat to neonates and it leads to disability and high mortality rates.Detecting and treating ABE promptly is important to prevent further complications and long-term issues.Recent studies have explored ABE diagnosis.However,they often face limitations in classification due to reliance on a single modality of Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI).To tackle this problem,the authors propose a Tri-M2MT model for precise ABE detection by using tri-modality MRI scans.The scans include T1-weighted imaging(T1WI),T2-weighted imaging(T2WI),and apparent diffusion coefficient maps to get indepth information.Initially,the tri-modality MRI scans are collected and preprocessesed by using an Advanced Gaussian Filter for noise reduction and Z-score normalisation for data standardisation.An Advanced Capsule Network was utilised to extract relevant features by using Snake Optimization Algorithm to select optimal features based on feature correlation with the aim of minimising complexity and enhancing detection accuracy.Furthermore,a multi-transformer approach was used for feature fusion and identify feature correlations effectively.Finally,accurate ABE diagnosis is achieved through the utilisation of a SoftMax layer.The performance of the proposed Tri-M2MT model is evaluated across various metrics,including accuracy,specificity,sensitivity,F1-score,and ROC curve analysis,and the proposed methodology provides better performance compared to existing methodologies.

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.
