文摘Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)in Flying Ad-Hoc Networks(FANETs)are widely used in both civilian and military fields,but they face severe security,trust,and privacy vulnerabilities due to their high mobility,dynamic topology,and open wireless channels.Existing security protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks(MANETs)cannot be directly applied to FANETs,as FANETs require lightweight,high real-time performance,and strong anonymity.The current FANETs security protocol cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of strong anonymity,high security,and low overhead in high dynamic and resource-constrained scenarios.To address these challenges,this paper proposes an Anonymous Authentication and Key Exchange Protocol(AAKE-OWA)for UAVs in FANETs based on OneWay Accumulators(OWA).During the UAV registration phase,the Key Management Center(KMC)generates an identity ticket for each UAV using OWA and transmits it securely to the UAV’s on-board tamper-proof module.In the key exchange phase,UAVs generate temporary authentication tickets with random numbers and compute the same session key leveraging the quasi-commutativity of OWA.For mutual anonymous authentication,UAVs encrypt random numbers with the session key and verify identities by comparing computed values with authentication values.Formal analysis using the Scyther tool confirms that the protocol resists identity spoofing,man-in-the-middle,and replay attacks.Through Burrows Abadi Needham(BAN)logic proof,it achieves mutual anonymity,prevents simulation and physical capture attacks,and ensures secure connectivity of 1.Experimental comparisons with existing protocols prove that the AAKE-OWA protocol has lower computational overhead,communication overhead,and storage overhead,making it more suitable for resource-constrained FANET scenarios.Performance comparison experiments show that,compared with other schemes,this scheme only requires 8 one-way accumulator operations and 4 symmetric encryption/decryption operations,with a total computational overhead as low as 2.3504 ms,a communication overhead of merely 1216 bits,and a storage overhead of 768 bits.We have achieved a reduction in computational costs from 6.3%to 90.3%,communication costs from 5.0%to 69.1%,and overall storage costs from 33%to 68%compared to existing solutions.It can meet the performance requirements of lightweight,real-time,and anonymity for unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)networks.
文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)have become foundational in numerous real-world applications,ranging from environmental monitoring and industrial automation to healthcare systems and smart city development.As these networks continue to grow in scale and complexity,the need for energy-efficient,scalable,and robust communication protocols becomes more critical than ever.Metaheuristic algorithms have shown significant promise in addressing these challenges,offering flexible and effective solutions for optimizing WSN performance.Among them,the Grey Wolf Optimizer(GWO)algorithm has attracted growing attention due to its simplicity,fast convergence,and strong global search capabilities.Accordingly,this survey provides an in-depth review of the applications of GWO and its variants for clustering,multi-hop routing,and hybrid cluster-based routing in WSNs.We categorize and analyze the existing GWO-based approaches across these key network optimization tasks,discussing the different problem formulations,decision variables,objective functions,and performance metrics used.In doing so,we examine standard GWO,multi-objective GWO,and hybrid GWO models that incorporate other computational intelligence techniques.Each method is evaluated based on how effectively it addresses the core constraints of WSNs,including energy consumption,communication overhead,and network lifetime.Finally,this survey outlines existing gaps in the literature and proposes potential future research directions aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and real-world applicability of GWO-based techniques for WSN clustering and routing.Our goal is to provide researchers and practitioners with a clear,structured understanding of the current state of GWO in WSNs and inspire further innovation in this evolving field.

文摘Wi-Fi technology has evolved significantly since its introduction in 1997,advancing to Wi-Fi 6 as the latest standard,with Wi-Fi 7 currently under development.Despite these advancements,integrating machine learning into Wi-Fi networks remains challenging,especially in decentralized environments with multiple access points(mAPs).This paper is a short review that summarizes the potential applications of federated reinforcement learning(FRL)across eight key areas of Wi-Fi functionality,including channel access,link adaptation,beamforming,multi-user transmissions,channel bonding,multi-link operation,spatial reuse,and multi-basic servic set(multi-BSS)coordination.FRL is highlighted as a promising framework for enabling decentralized training and decision-making while preserving data privacy.To illustrate its role in practice,we present a case study on link activation in a multi-link operation(MLO)environment with multiple APs.Through theoretical discussion and simulation results,the study demonstrates how FRL can improve performance and reliability,paving the way for more adaptive and collaborative Wi-Fi networks in the era of Wi-Fi 7 and beyond.

文摘The metal‐reduction‐induced dechlorination coupling(MR-DC)strategy enables the first successful synthesis of an all‐inorganic crosslinked phosphazene network(aPN)from hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene(HCCP)under mild reaction conditions.Using Cu as a model,the resulting Cu-aPN(copper‐embedded all‐inorganic phosphazene network)retains the intrinsic N_(3)P_(3)backbone and exhibits an amorphous structure where Cu species are uniformly anchored at dense P/N coordination sites of the network.Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry(TOF‐SIMS)and X‐ray diffraction(XRD)reveal a gradual CuCl‐to‐CuO phase conversion during ammonia treatment,which effectively ensures the structural stability of the phosphazene framework.In 1 M KOH,Cu-aPN delivers an overpotential of 280 mV at 10 mA cm^(−2)and a Tafel slope of 48 mV dec^(−1),markedly outperforming Ga-aPN.In situ Raman and density functional theory(DFT)analyses indicate stronger Cu-P/N coordination coupling that lowers the*OH formation barrier(0.39 vs.0.88 eV for Ga).This MR-DC route furnishes a general and versatile pathway for constructing metal‐embedded all‐inorganic phosphazene frameworks with tunable coordination environments for advanced electrocatalytic applications.

文摘This paper is dedicated to fixed-time passivity and synchronization for multi-weighted spatiotemporal directed networks.First,to achieve fixed-time passivity,a type of decentralized power-law controller is developed,in which only one parameter needs to be adjusted in the power-law terms;this greatly decreases the inconvenience of parameter adjustment.Second,several fixed-time passivity criteria with LMI forms are derived by using a Gauss divergence theorem to deal with the spatial diffusion of nodes and by applying the Hölder’s inequality to dispose rigorously the power-law term greater than one in the designed control scheme;this improves the previous theoretical analysis.Additionally,the fixed-time synchronization of spatiotemporal directed networks with multi-weights is addressed as a direct result of fixed-time strict passivity.Finally,a numerical example is presented in order to show the validity of the theoretical analysis.

文摘Rapid quantification of seismic-induced damage immediately following an earthquake is critical for determining whether a structure is safe for continued occupation or requires evacuation.This study proposes a novel damage identification method that utilizes limited strain data points,significantly reducing installation,maintenance,and data analysis costs compared to traditional distributed sensor networks.The approach integrates finite element(FE)modeling to generate capacity curves through pushover analysis,incorporates noise-augmented datasets for Artificial Neural Network(ANN)training,and classifies structural conditions into four damage levels:Operational(OP),Immediate Occupancy(IO),Life Safety(LS),and Collapse Prevention(CP).To evaluate the method’s accuracy and efficiency,it was applied to two reinforced concrete(RC)frames;a single-story frame tested experimentally under cyclic loading and a three-story frame analyzed under various lateral load patterns.Strain data from selected beam and column ends were used as ANN inputs,while the corresponding damage classes served as outputs.Confusion matrix results demonstrated high true positive rates(>85%for the single-story and>90%for the three-story frame),even with a reduced number of sensors.The model also exhibited strong robustness to White Gaussian Noise(SNR=2.5-5 dB)and generalized effectively to nonlinear time-history analyses under scaled ground motions(PGA=0.1-1.0 g).Feature selection using the MRMR and ANOVA algorithms further enhanced computational efficiency.Overall,the proposed ANN-based framework has strong potential for real-time structural health monitoring applications.
文摘This paper introduces a fuzzy C-means-based pooling layer for convolutional neural networks that explicitly models local uncertainty and ambiguity.Conventional pooling operations,such as max and average,apply rigid aggregation and often discard fine-grained boundary information.In contrast,our method computes soft membershipswithin each receptive field and aggregates cluster-wise responses throughmembership-weighted pooling,thereby preserving informative structure while reducing dimensionality.Being differentiable,the proposed layer operates as standard two-dimensional pooling.We evaluate our approach across various CNN backbones and open datasets,including CIFAR-10/100,STL-10,LFW,and ImageNette,and further probe small training set restrictions on MNIST and Fashion-MNIST.In these settings,the proposed pooling consistently improves accuracy and weighted F1 over conventional baselines,with particularly strong gains when training data are scarce.Even with less than 1%of the training set,ourmethodmaintains reliable performance,indicating improved sample efficiency and robustness to noisy or ambiguous local patterns.Overall,integrating soft memberships into the pooling operator provides a practical and generalizable inductive bias that enhances robustness and generalization in modern CNN pipelines.

文摘Physics-informed neural networks(PINNs)have emerged as a promising class of scientific machine learning techniques that integrate governing physical laws into neural network training.Their ability to enforce differential equations,constitutive relations,and boundary conditions within the loss function provides a physically grounded alternative to traditional data-driven models,particularly for solid and structural mechanics,where data are often limited or noisy.This review offers a comprehensive assessment of recent developments in PINNs,combining bibliometric analysis,theoretical foundations,application-oriented insights,and methodological innovations.A biblio-metric survey indicates a rapid increase in publications on PINNs since 2018,with prominent research clusters focused on numerical methods,structural analysis,and forecasting.Building upon this trend,the review consolidates advance-ments across five principal application domains,including forward structural analysis,inverse modeling and parameter identification,structural and topology optimization,assessment of structural integrity,and manufacturing processes.These applications are propelled by substantial methodological advancements,encompassing rigorous enforcement of boundary conditions,modified loss functions,adaptive training,domain decomposition strategies,multi-fidelity and transfer learning approaches,as well as hybrid finite element–PINN integration.These advances address recurring challenges in solid mechanics,such as high-order governing equations,material heterogeneity,complex geometries,localized phenomena,and limited experimental data.Despite remaining challenges in computational cost,scalability,and experimental validation,PINNs are increasingly evolving into specialized,physics-aware tools for practical solid and structural mechanics applications.
文摘Advances in Alzheimer's disease(AD)research have deepened our understanding,yet the mechanisms driving its progression remain unclear.Although a range of in vivo biomarkers is now available(e.g.,measurements of amyloidbeta(Aβ)and ta u accumulation-the molecular hallmarks of AD-structural magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),assessments of brain metabolism,and,more recently,blood-based markers),a definitive diagnosis of AD continues to be challenging.For example,Frisoni et al.
文摘This paper investigates the traffic offloading optimization challenge in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks(SAGIN)through a novel Recursive Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization(RMAPPO)algorithm.The exponential growth of mobile devices and data traffic has substantially increased network congestion,particularly in urban areas and regions with limited terrestrial infrastructure.Our approach jointly optimizes unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)trajectories and satellite-assisted offloading strategies to simultaneously maximize data throughput,minimize energy consumption,and maintain equitable resource distribution.The proposed RMAPPO framework incorporates recurrent neural networks(RNNs)to model temporal dependencies in UAV mobility patterns and utilizes a decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning architecture to reduce communication overhead while improving system robustness.The proposed RMAPPO algorithm was evaluated through simulation experiments,with the results indicating that it significantly enhances the cumulative traffic offloading rate of nodes and reduces the energy consumption of UAVs.

文摘Global climate change is intensifying the impact of slope hazards,particularly rainfall-induced landslide hazards(RILH),on mountain road networks(MRNs).However,effective quantitative models for dynamically assessing MRNs vulnerability under RILH disturbances are still lacking.To bridge this gap,this study develops a Cascading Failure Model for Rainfall-Induced Landslide Hazard(CFM-RILH).Validation via a case study of the GarzêTibetan Autonomous Prefecture Road Network(GTPRNs)reveals key characteristics of MRNs system vulnerability under RILH disturbances:(1)Under the disturbance effects of RILH,the vulnerability of the MRNs system follows a nonlinear phase transition law that intensifies with increasing disturbance intensity,exhibiting a distinct critical threshold.When the disturbance intensity exceeds this threshold,the system undergoes a global cascading failure phenomenon analogous to an“avalanche.”(2)Under RILH disturbances,the robustness of the MRNs system possesses a distinct safety boundary.Exceeding this boundary not only fails to improve hazard resistance but instead substantially elevates the risk of large-scale cascading failure.(3)Increasing network redundancy may be considered one of the primary engineering measures for enhancing MRNs resilience against such disturbances.Based on these findings,we propose a“Two-Stage Emergency Response and Hierarchical Fortification”strategy specifically to improve the resilience of GTPRNs impacted by RILH.The CFM-RILH model provides an effective tool for assessing road network vulnerability under such hazards.Furthermore,its modeling framework can also inform vulnerability assessment and resilience strategy development for road networks affected by other types of slope hazards.

文摘Epoxy resins are widely employed in wind turbine blades,drone rotors,and automotive interiors due to their excel-lent mechani-cal proper-ties and long service life.However,their insoluble and infusible cross-linked networks pose a significant re-cycling challenge,particularly with the impending retirement of the first generation of wind turbine blades.In this work,we reported a fully bio-based epoxy Vitrimer(FEP)incorporat-ing a dual-dynamic covalent network design and systematically investigated the influence of the 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene(TBD)catalyst on its curing kinetics,thermal/mechan-ical properties,dynamic exchange behavior,and degradation performance in a mild alkaline solution.Compared to conventional epoxy resins,FEP exhibited superior tensile strength and elongation at break at an optimal TBD concentration(2 wt%),achieving an excellent strength-toughness balance.The presence of TBD accelerated the exchange rates of both disulfide and ester bonds,endowing FEP with notable stress relaxation at elevated tempera-tures.Moreover,FEP demonstrated complete dissolution in 1 mol/L NaOH within 6 h at 25℃.These results underscored the exceptional strength,toughness,and recyclability of FEP,positioning it as a promising,environmentally friendly matrix resin for next-generation appli-cations in the new energy sector.
