文摘BACKGROUND Non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)is common among adolescents with depressive disorders and poses a major public health challenge.Rumination,a key cognitive feature of depression,includes different subtypes that may relate to NSSI through distinct psychological mechanisms.However,how these subtypes interact with specific NSSI behaviors remains unclear.AIM To examine associations between rumination subtypes and specific NSSI behaviors in adolescents.METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study with 305 hospitalized adolescents diagnosed with depressive disorders.The subjects ranged from 12-18 years in age.Rumi-nation subtypes were assessed using the Ruminative Response Scale,and 12 NSSI behaviors were evaluated using a validated questionnaire.Network analysis was applied to explore symptom-level associations and identify central symptoms.RESULTS The network analysis revealed close connections between rumination subtypes and NSSI behaviors.Brooding was linked to behaviors such as hitting objects and burning.Scratching emerged as the most influential NSSI symptom.Symptomfocused rumination served as a key bridge connecting rumination and NSSI.CONCLUSION Symptom-focused rumination and scratching were identified as potential intervention targets.These findings highlight the psychological significance of specific cognitive-behavioral links in adolescent depression and suggest directions for tailored prevention and treatment.However,the cross-sectional,single-site design limits causal inference and generalizability.Future longitudinal and multi-center studies are needed to confirm causal pathways and verify the generalizability of the findings to broader adolescent populations.

文摘The thermal conductivity of nanofluids is an important property that influences the heat transfer capabilities of nanofluids.Researchers rely on experimental investigations to explore nanofluid properties,as it is a necessary step before their practical application.As these investigations are time and resource-consuming undertakings,an effective prediction model can significantly improve the efficiency of research operations.In this work,an Artificial Neural Network(ANN)model is developed to predict the thermal conductivity of metal oxide water-based nanofluid.For this,a comprehensive set of 691 data points was collected from the literature.This dataset is split into training(70%),validation(15%),and testing(15%)and used to train the ANN model.The developed model is a backpropagation artificial neural network with a 4–12–1 architecture.The performance of the developed model shows high accuracy with R values above 0.90 and rapid convergence.It shows that the developed ANN model accurately predicts the thermal conductivity of nanofluids.
文摘Community detection is one of the most fundamental applications in understanding the structure of complicated networks.Furthermore,it is an important approach to identifying closely linked clusters of nodes that may represent underlying patterns and relationships.Networking structures are highly sensitive in social networks,requiring advanced techniques to accurately identify the structure of these communities.Most conventional algorithms for detecting communities perform inadequately with complicated networks.In addition,they miss out on accurately identifying clusters.Since single-objective optimization cannot always generate accurate and comprehensive results,as multi-objective optimization can.Therefore,we utilized two objective functions that enable strong connections between communities and weak connections between them.In this study,we utilized the intra function,which has proven effective in state-of-the-art research studies.We proposed a new inter-function that has demonstrated its effectiveness by making the objective of detecting external connections between communities is to make them more distinct and sparse.Furthermore,we proposed a Multi-Objective community strength enhancement algorithm(MOCSE).The proposed algorithm is based on the framework of the Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm with Decomposition(MOEA/D),integrated with a new heuristic mutation strategy,community strength enhancement(CSE).The results demonstrate that the model is effective in accurately identifying community structures while also being computationally efficient.The performance measures used to evaluate the MOEA/D algorithm in our work are normalized mutual information(NMI)and modularity(Q).It was tested using five state-of-the-art algorithms on social networks,comprising real datasets(Zachary,Dolphin,Football,Krebs,SFI,Jazz,and Netscience),as well as twenty synthetic datasets.These results provide the robustness and practical value of the proposed algorithm in multi-objective community identification.

文摘Background:Wenqing Yin(WQY)is a classic prescription used to treat skin diseases like atopic dermatitis(AD)in China,and the aim of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms of WQY on AD.Methods:The DNFB-induced mouse models of AD were established to investigate the therapeutic effects of WQY on AD.The symptoms of AD in the ears and backs of the mice were assessed,while inflammatory factors in the ear were quantified using quantitative real-time-polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),and the percentages of CD4^(+)and CD8^(+)cells in the spleen were analyzed through flow cytometry.The compounds in WQY were identified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)analysis and the key targets and pathways of WQY to treat AD were predicted by network pharmacology.Subsequently,the key genes were tested and verified by qRT-PCR,and the potential active components and target proteins were verified by molecular docking.Results:WQY relieved the AD symptoms and histopathological injuries in the ear and back skin of mice with AD.Meanwhile,WQY significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory factors IL-6 and IL-1βin ear tissue,as well as the ratio of CD4^(+)/CD8^(+)cells in spleen.Additionally,a total of 142 compounds were identified from the water extract of WQY by UPLC-Orbitrap-MS/MS.39 key targets related to AD were screened out by network pharmacology methods.The KEGG analysis indicated that the effects of WQY were primarily mediated through pathways associated with Toll-like receptor signaling and T cell receptor signaling.Moreover,the results of qRT-PCR demonstrated that WQY significantly reduced the mRNA expressions of IL-4,IL-10,GATA3 and FOXP3,and molecular docking simulation verified that the active components of WQY had excellent binding abilities with IL-4,IL-10,GATA3 and FOXP3 proteins.Conclusion:The present study demonstrated that WQY effectively relieved AD symptoms in mice,decreased the inflammatory factors levels,regulated the balance of CD4^(+)and CD8^(+)cells,and the mechanism may be associated with the suppression of Th2 and Treg cell immune responses.
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This paper investigates the reliability of internal marine combustion engines using an integrated approach that combines Fault Tree Analysis(FTA)and Bayesian Networks(BN).FTA provides a structured,top-down method for identifying critical failure modes and their root causes,while BN introduces flexibility in probabilistic reasoning,enabling dynamic updates based on new evidence.This dual methodology overcomes the limitations of static FTA models,offering a comprehensive framework for system reliability analysis.Critical failures,including External Leakage(ELU),Failure to Start(FTS),and Overheating(OHE),were identified as key risks.By incorporating redundancy into high-risk components such as pumps and batteries,the likelihood of these failures was significantly reduced.For instance,redundant pumps reduced the probability of ELU by 31.88%,while additional batteries decreased the occurrence of FTS by 36.45%.The results underscore the practical benefits of combining FTA and BN for enhancing system reliability,particularly in maritime applications where operational safety and efficiency are critical.This research provides valuable insights for maintenance planning and highlights the importance of redundancy in critical systems,especially as the industry transitions toward more autonomous vessels.

文摘Skin diseases affect millions worldwide.Early detection is key to preventing disfigurement,lifelong disability,or death.Dermoscopic images acquired in primary-care settings show high intra-class visual similarity and severe class imbalance,and occasional imaging artifacts can create ambiguity for state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks(CNNs).We frame skin lesion recognition as graph-based reasoning and,to ensure fair evaluation and avoid data leakage,adopt a strict lesion-level partitioning strategy.Each image is first over-segmented using SLIC(Simple Linear Iterative Clustering)to produce perceptually homogeneous superpixels.These superpixels form the nodes of a region-adjacency graph whose edges encode spatial continuity.Node attributes are 1280-dimensional embeddings extracted with a lightweight yet expressive EfficientNet-B0 backbone,providing strong representational power at modest computational cost.The resulting graphs are processed by a five-layer Graph Attention Network(GAT)that learns to weight inter-node relationships dynamically and aggregates multi-hop context before classifying lesions into seven classes with a log-softmax output.Extensive experiments on the DermaMNIST benchmark show the proposed pipeline achieves 88.35%accuracy and 98.04%AUC,outperforming contemporary CNNs,AutoML approaches,and alternative graph neural networks.An ablation study indicates EfficientNet-B0 produces superior node descriptors compared with ResNet-18 and DenseNet,and that roughly five GAT layers strike a good balance between being too shallow and over-deep while avoiding oversmoothing.The method requires no data augmentation or external metadata,making it a drop-in upgrade for clinical computer-aided diagnosis systems.

文摘The rapid growth of distributed data-centric applications and AI workloads increases demand for low-latency,high-throughput communication,necessitating frequent and flexible updates to network routing configurations.However,maintaining consistent forwarding states during these updates is challenging,particularly when rerouting multiple flows simultaneously.Existing approaches pay little attention to multi-flow update,where improper update sequences across data plane nodes may construct deadlock dependencies.Moreover,these methods typically involve excessive control-data plane interactions,incurring significant resource overhead and performance degradation.This paper presents P4LoF,an efficient loop-free update approach that enables the controller to reroute multiple flows through minimal interactions.P4LoF first utilizes a greedy-based algorithm to generate the shortest update dependency chain for the single-flow update.These chains are then dynamically merged into a dependency graph and resolved as a Shortest Common Super-sequence(SCS)problem to produce the update sequence of multi-flow update.To address deadlock dependencies in multi-flow updates,P4LoF builds a deadlock-fix forwarding model that leverages the flexible packet processing capabilities of the programmable data plane.Experimental results show that P4LoF reduces control-data plane interactions by at least 32.6%with modest overhead,while effectively guaranteeing loop-free consistency.

文摘The ubiquity of mobile devices has driven advancements in mobile object detection.However,challenges in multi-scale object detection in open,complex environments persist due to limited computational resources.Traditional approaches like network compression,quantization,and lightweight design often sacrifice accuracy or feature representation robustness.This article introduces the Fast Multi-scale Channel Shuffling Network(FMCSNet),a novel lightweight detection model optimized for mobile devices.FMCSNet integrates a fully convolutional Multilayer Perceptron(MLP)module,offering global perception without significantly increasing parameters,effectively bridging the gap between CNNs and Vision Transformers.FMCSNet achieves a delicate balance between computation and accuracy mainly by two key modules:the ShiftMLP module,including a shift operation and an MLP module,and a Partial group Convolutional(PGConv)module,reducing computation while enhancing information exchange between channels.With a computational complexity of 1.4G FLOPs and 1.3M parameters,FMCSNet outperforms CNN-based and DWConv-based ShuffleNetv2 by 1%and 4.5%mAP on the Pascal VOC 2007 dataset,respectively.Additionally,FMCSNet achieves a mAP of 30.0(0.5:0.95 IoU threshold)with only 2.5G FLOPs and 2.0M parameters.It achieves 32 FPS on low-performance i5-series CPUs,meeting real-time detection requirements.The versatility of the PGConv module’s adaptability across scenarios further highlights FMCSNet as a promising solution for real-time mobile object detection.

文摘With the increasing severity of network security threats,Network Intrusion Detection(NID)has become a key technology to ensure network security.To address the problem of low detection rate of traditional intrusion detection models,this paper proposes a Dual-Attention model for NID,which combines Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory(BiLSTM)to design two modules:the FocusConV and the TempoNet module.The FocusConV module,which automatically adjusts and weights CNN extracted local features,focuses on local features that are more important for intrusion detection.The TempoNet module focuses on global information,identifies more important features in time steps or sequences,and filters and weights the information globally to further improve the accuracy and robustness of NID.Meanwhile,in order to solve the class imbalance problem in the dataset,the EQL v2 method is used to compute the class weights of each class and to use them in the loss computation,which optimizes the performance of the model on the class imbalance problem.Extensive experiments were conducted on the NSL-KDD,UNSW-NB15,and CIC-DDos2019 datasets,achieving average accuracy rates of 99.66%,87.47%,and 99.39%,respectively,demonstrating excellent detection accuracy and robustness.The model also improves the detection performance of minority classes in the datasets.On the UNSW-NB15 dataset,the detection rates for Analysis,Exploits,and Shellcode attacks increased by 7%,7%,and 10%,respectively,demonstrating the Dual-Attention CNN-BiLSTM model’s excellent performance in NID.

文摘Remote sensing image super-resolution technology is pivotal for enhancing image quality in critical applications including environmental monitoring,urban planning,and disaster assessment.However,traditional methods exhibit deficiencies in detail recovery and noise suppression,particularly when processing complex landscapes(e.g.,forests,farmlands),leading to artifacts and spectral distortions that limit practical utility.To address this,we propose an enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network(SRGAN)framework featuring three key innovations:(1)Replacement of L1/L2 loss with a robust Charbonnier loss to suppress noise while preserving edge details via adaptive gradient balancing;(2)A multi-loss joint optimization strategy dynamically weighting Charbonnier loss(β=0.5),Visual Geometry Group(VGG)perceptual loss(α=1),and adversarial loss(γ=0.1)to synergize pixel-level accuracy and perceptual quality;(3)A multi-scale residual network(MSRN)capturing cross-scale texture features(e.g.,forest canopies,mountain contours).Validated on Sentinel-2(10 m)and SPOT-6/7(2.5 m)datasets covering 904 km2 in Motuo County,Xizang,our method outperforms the SRGAN baseline(SR4RS)with Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR)gains of 0.29 dB and Structural Similarity Index(SSIM)improvements of 3.08%on forest imagery.Visual comparisons confirm enhanced texture continuity despite marginal Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity(LPIPS)increases.The method significantly improves noise robustness and edge retention in complex geomorphology,demonstrating 18%faster response in forest fire early warning and providing high-resolution support for agricultural/urban monitoring.Future work will integrate spectral constraints and lightweight architectures.

文摘With the rapid development of the Artificial Intelligence of Things(AIoT),convolutional neural networks(CNNs)have demonstrated potential and remarkable performance in AIoT applications due to their excellent performance in various inference tasks.However,the users have concerns about privacy leakage for the use of AI and the performance and efficiency of computing on resource-constrained IoT edge devices.Therefore,this paper proposes an efficient privacy-preserving CNN framework(i.e.,EPPA)based on the Fully Homomorphic Encryption(FHE)scheme for AIoT application scenarios.In the plaintext domain,we verify schemes with different activation structures to determine the actual activation functions applicable to the corresponding ciphertext domain.Within the encryption domain,we integrate batch normalization(BN)into the convolutional layers to simplify the computation process.For nonlinear activation functions,we use composite polynomials for approximate calculation.Regarding the noise accumulation caused by homomorphic multiplication operations,we realize the refreshment of ciphertext noise through minimal“decryption-encryption”interactions,instead of adopting bootstrapping operations.Additionally,in practical implementation,we convert three-dimensional convolution into two-dimensional convolution to reduce the amount of computation in the encryption domain.Finally,we conduct extensive experiments on four IoT datasets,different CNN architectures,and two platforms with different resource configurations to evaluate the performance of EPPA in detail.

文摘With the increasing complexity of industrial automation,planetary gearboxes play a vital role in largescale equipment transmission systems,directly impacting operational efficiency and safety.Traditional maintenance strategies often struggle to accurately predict the degradation process of equipment,leading to excessive maintenance costs or potential failure risks.However,existing prediction methods based on statistical models are difficult to adapt to nonlinear degradation processes.To address these challenges,this study proposes a novel condition-based maintenance framework for planetary gearboxes.A comprehensive full-lifecycle degradation experiment was conducted to collect raw vibration signals,which were then processed using a temporal convolutional network autoencoder with multi-scale perception capability to extract deep temporal degradation features,enabling the collaborative extraction of longperiod meshing frequencies and short-term impact features from the vibration signals.Kernel principal component analysis was employed to fuse and normalize these features,enhancing the characterization of degradation progression.A nonlinear Wiener process was used to model the degradation trajectory,with a threshold decay function introduced to dynamically adjust maintenance strategies,and model parameters optimized through maximum likelihood estimation.Meanwhile,the maintenance strategy was optimized to minimize costs per unit time,determining the optimal maintenance timing and preventive maintenance threshold.The comprehensive indicator of degradation trends extracted by this method reaches 0.756,which is 41.2%higher than that of traditional time-domain features;the dynamic threshold strategy reduces the maintenance cost per unit time to 55.56,which is 8.9%better than that of the static threshold optimization.Experimental results demonstrate significant reductions in maintenance costs while enhancing system reliability and safety.This study realizes the organic integration of deep learning and reliability theory in the maintenance of planetary gearboxes,provides an interpretable solution for the predictive maintenance of complex mechanical systems,and promotes the development of condition-based maintenance strategies for planetary gearboxes.

文摘Parkinson’s disease(PD)is a debilitating neurological disorder affecting over 10 million people worldwide.PD classification models using voice signals as input are common in the literature.It is believed that using deep learning algorithms further enhances performance;nevertheless,it is challenging due to the nature of small-scale and imbalanced PD datasets.This paper proposed a convolutional neural network-based deep support vector machine(CNN-DSVM)to automate the feature extraction process using CNN and extend the conventional SVM to a DSVM for better classification performance in small-scale PD datasets.A customized kernel function reduces the impact of biased classification towards the majority class(healthy candidates in our consideration).An improved generative adversarial network(IGAN)was designed to generate additional training data to enhance the model’s performance.For performance evaluation,the proposed algorithm achieves a sensitivity of 97.6%and a specificity of 97.3%.The performance comparison is evaluated from five perspectives,including comparisons with different data generation algorithms,feature extraction techniques,kernel functions,and existing works.Results reveal the effectiveness of the IGAN algorithm,which improves the sensitivity and specificity by 4.05%–4.72%and 4.96%–5.86%,respectively;and the effectiveness of the CNN-DSVM algorithm,which improves the sensitivity by 1.24%–57.4%and specificity by 1.04%–163%and reduces biased detection towards the majority class.The ablation experiments confirm the effectiveness of individual components.Two future research directions have also been suggested.

文摘Accurately modeling real network dynamics is a grand challenge in network science.The network dynamics arise from node interactions,which are shaped by network topology.Real networks tend to exhibit compact or highly optimized topologies.But the key problems arise:how to compress a network to best enhance its compactness,and what the compression limit of the network reflects?We abstract the topological compression of complex networks as a dynamic process of making them more compact and propose the local compression modulus that plays a key role in effective compression evolution of networks.Subsequently,we identify topological compressibility-a general property of complex networks that characterizes the extent to which a network can be compressed-and provide its approximate quantification.We anticipate that our findings and established theory will provide valuable insights into both dynamics and various applications of complex networks.
