Methods The pre-operative MRI data of 81 patients with glioblastoma and 28 patients with primary CNS lymphoma admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital and Hainan Hospital of Chinese PLA General Hospital were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent plain MR imaging and enhanced T1 weighted imaging to visualize imaging features of lesions. Texture analysis of T2 weighted imaging(T2 WI) was performed by use of GLCM texture plugin of ImageJ software, and the texture parameters including Angular Second Moment(ASM), Contrast, Correlation, Inverse Difference Moment(IDM), and Entropy were measured. Independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were performed for the between-group comparisons, regression model was established by Binary Logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was plotted to compare the diagnostic efficacy. Results The conventional imaging features including cystic and necrosis changes(P = 0.000), ‘Rosette' changes(P = 0.000) and ‘incision sign'(P = 0.000), except ‘flame-like edema'(P = 0.635), presented significantly statistical difference between glioblastoma and primary CNS lymphoma. The texture features, ASM, Contrast, Correlation, IDM and Entropy, showed significant differences between glioblastoma and primary CNS lympoma(P = 0.006,0.000, 0.002, 0.000, and 0.015 respectively). The area under the ROC curve was 0.671, 0.752, 0.695, 0.720 and 0.646 respectively, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.917 for the combined texture variables(Contrast, cystic and necrosis, ‘Rosette' changes, and ‘incision sign') in the model of Logistic regression. Binary Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that cystic and necrosis changes, ‘Rosette' changes and ‘incision sign' and texture Contrast could be considered as the specific texture variables for the differential diagnosis of glioblastoma and primary CNS lymphoma. Conclusion The texture features of T2 WI and conventional imaging findings may be used to distinguish glioblastoma from primary CNS lymphoma.展开更多

This is mainly due to the enormous potential of biomarkers in evaluating molecular and cellular abnormalities in cell models and in tissue, and evaluating drug responses and the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention strategies. An important way to analyze the development of the human body is to assess molecular markers in embryonic specialized cells, which include the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Neuronal development is controlled through the gene networks in the neural crest and neural tube, both components of the ectoderm. The neural crest differentiates into several different tissues including, but not limited to, the peripheral nervous system, enteric nervous system, melanocyte, and the dental pulp. The neural tube eventually converts to the central nervous system. This review provides an overview of the differentiation of the ectoderm to a fully functioning nervous system, focusing on molecular biomarkers that emerge at each stage of the cellular specialization from multipotent stem cells to completely differentiated cells. Particularly, the otic placode is the origin of most of the inner ear cell types such as neurons, sensory hair cells, and supporting cells. During the development, different auditory cell types can be distinguished by the expression of the neurogenin differentiation factor1 (Neuro D1), Brn3a, and transcription factor GATA3. However, the mature auditory neurons express other markers including bIII tubulin, the vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT1), the tyrosine receptor kinase B and C (Trk B, C), BDNF, neurotrophin 3 (NT3), Calretinin, etc.展开更多

文摘Quantum optimal control(QOC)relies on accurately modeling system dynamics and is often challenged by unknown or inaccessible interactions in real systems.Taking an unknown collective spin system as an example,this work introduces a machine-learning-based,data-driven scheme to overcome the challenges encountered,with a trained neural network(NN)assuming the role of a surrogate model that captures the system’s dynamics and subsequently enables QOC to be performed on the NN instead of on the real system.The trained NN surrogate proves effective for practical QOC tasks and is further demonstrated to be adaptable to different experimental conditions,remaining robust across varying system sizes and pulse durations.
文摘This study introduces an advanced recommender system for technology enhanced learning(TEL)that synergizes neural collaborative filtering,sentiment analysis,and an adaptive learning rate to address the limitations of traditional TEL systems.Recognizing the critical gap in existing approaches—primarily their neglect of user emotional feedback and static learning paths—our model innovatively incorporates sentiment analysis to capture and respond to nuanced emotional feedback from users.Utilizing bidirectional encoder representations from Transformers for sentiment analysis,our system not only understands but also respects user privacy by processing feedback without revealing sensitive information.The adaptive learning rate,inspired by AdaGrad,allows our model to adjust its learning trajectory based on the sentiment scores associated with user feedback,ensuring a dynamic response to both positive and negative sentiments.This dual approach enhances the system’s adapt-ability to changing user preferences and improves its contentment understanding.Our methodology involves a comprehensive analysis of both the content of learning materials and the behaviors and preferences of learners,facilitating a more personalized learning experience.By dynamically adjusting recommendations based on real-time user data and behavioral analysis,our system leverages the collective insights of similar users and rele-vant content.We validated our approach against three datasets-MovieLens,Amazon,and a proprietary TEL dataset—and saw significant improvements in recommendation precision,F-score,and mean absolute error.The results indicate the potential of integrating sentiment analysis and adaptive learning rates into TEL recommender systems,marking a step forward in developing more responsive and user-centric educational technologies.This study paves the way for future advancements in TEL systems,emphasizing the importance of emotional intelli-gence and adaptability in enhancing the learning experience.

文摘Nonlinear science is a fundamental area of physics research that investigates complex dynamical systems which are often characterized by high sensitivity and nonlinear behaviors.Numerical simulations play a pivotal role in nonlinear science,serving as a critical tool for revealing the underlying principles governing these systems.In addition,they play a crucial role in accelerating progress across various fields,such as climate modeling,weather forecasting,and fluid dynamics.However,their high computational cost limits their application in high-precision or long-duration simulations.In this study,we propose a novel data-driven approach for simulating complex physical systems,particularly turbulent phenomena.Specifically,we develop an efficient surrogate model based on the wavelet neural operator(WNO).Experimental results demonstrate that the enhanced WNO model can accurately simulate small-scale turbulent flows while using lower computational costs.In simulations of complex physical fields,the improved WNO model outperforms established deep learning models,such as U-Net,Res Net,and the Fourier neural operator(FNO),in terms of accuracy.Notably,the improved WNO model exhibits exceptional generalization capabilities,maintaining stable performance across a wide range of initial conditions and high-resolution scenarios without retraining.This study highlights the significant potential of the enhanced WNO model for simulating complex physical systems,providing strong evidence to support the development of more efficient,scalable,and high-precision simulation techniques.

文摘Integral reinforcement learning(IRL)is an effective tool for solving optimal control problems of nonlinear systems,and it has been widely utilized in optimal controller design for solving discrete-time nonlinearity.However,solving the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman(HJB)equations for nonlinear systems requires precise and complicated dynamics.Moreover,the research and application of IRL in continuous-time(CT)systems must be further improved.To develop the IRL of a CT nonlinear system,a data-based adaptive neural dynamic programming(ANDP)method is proposed to investigate the optimal control problem of uncertain CT multi-input systems such that the knowledge of the dynamics in the HJB equation is unnecessary.First,the multi-input model is approximated using a neural network(NN),which can be utilized to design an integral reinforcement signal.Subsequently,two criterion networks and one action network are constructed based on the integral reinforcement signal.A nonzero-sum Nash equilibrium can be reached by learning the optimal strategies of the multi-input model.In this scheme,the NN weights are constantly updated using an adaptive algorithm.The weight convergence and the system stability are analyzed in detail.The optimal control problem of a multi-input nonlinear CT system is effectively solved using the ANDP scheme,and the results are verified by a simulation study.

文摘Numerical simulation plays an important role in the dynamic analysis of multibody system.With the rapid development of computer science,the numerical solution technology has been further developed.Recently,data-driven method has become a very popular computing method.However,due to lack of necessary mechanism information of the traditional pure data-driven methods based on neural network,its numerical accuracy cannot be guaranteed for strong nonlinear system.Therefore,this work proposes a mechanism-data hybrid-driven strategy for solving nonlinear multibody system based on physics-informed neural network to overcome the limitation of traditional data-driven methods.The strategy proposed in this paper introduces scaling coefficients to introduce the dynamic model of multibody system into neural network,ensuring that the training results of neural network conform to the mechanics principle of the system,thereby ensuring the good reliability of the data-driven method.Finally,the stability,generalization ability and numerical accuracy of the proposed method are discussed and analyzed using three typical multibody systems,and the constrained default situations can be controlled within the range of 10^(-2)-10^(-4).

文摘To enhance the efficiency of stochastic vibration analysis for the Train-Track-Bridge(TTB)coupled system,this paper proposes a prediction method based on a Genetic Algorithm-optimized Backpropagation(GA-BP)neural network.First,initial track irregularity samples and random parameter sets of the Vehicle-Bridge System(VBS)are generated using the stochastic harmonic function method.Then,the stochastic dynamic responses corresponding to the sample sets are calculated using a developed stochastic vibration analysis model of the TTB system.The track irregularity data and vehicle-bridge random parameters are used as input variables,while the corresponding stochastic responses serve as output variables for training the BP neural network to construct the prediction model.Subsequently,the Genetic Algorithm(GA)is applied to optimize the BP neural network by considering the randomness in excitation and parameters of the TTB system,improving model accuracy.After optimization,the trained GA-BP model enables rapid and accurate prediction of vehicle-bridge responses.To validate the proposed method,predictions of vehicle-bridge responses under varying train speeds are compared with numerical simulation results.The findings demonstrate that the proposed method offers notable advantages in predicting the stochastic vibration response of high-speed railway TTB coupled systems.

文摘Accurate identification of unknown internal parameters in photovoltaic(PV)cells is crucial and significantly affects the subsequent system-performance analysis and control.However,noise,insufficient data acquisition,and loss of recorded data can deteriorate the extraction accuracy of unknown parameters.Hence,this study proposes an intelligent parameter-identification strategy that integrates artificial ecosystem optimization(AEO)and a Bayesian neural network(BNN)for PV cell parameter extraction.A BNN is used for data preprocessing,including data denoising and prediction.Furthermore,the AEO algorithm is utilized to identify unknown parameters in the single-diode model(SDM),double-diode model(DDM),and three-diode model(TDM).Nine other metaheuristic algorithms(MhAs)are adopted for an unbiased and comprehensive validation.Simulation results show that BNN-based data preprocessing com-bined with effective MhAs significantly improve the parameter-extraction accuracy and stability compared with methods without data preprocessing.For instance,under denoised data,the accuracies of the SDM,DDM,and TDM increase by 99.69%,99.70%,and 99.69%,respectively,whereas their accuracy improvements increase by 66.71%,59.65%,and 70.36%,respectively.

文摘Traditionally,the spatiotemporal dynamics of neural networks have been analyzed in the locally continuous domain.While this modeling approach is straightforward and practical,it fails to encapsulate real-world networks’intricate topological structures and evolution.Currently,the mechanisms of stability switches induced by time delays and diffusion effects in networkorganized systems are still vague.Besides,effective dynamic optimization strategies for network-organized models remain to be devised.In this study,we develop a delayed reaction-diffusion neural network model on complex networks.This system incorporates the effects of inter-nodal diffusion coupling and exhibits profound architectural complexity.We then pioneer the proportional-integral-derivative(PID)feedback control into the network-organized model to modulate dynamic behaviors.The linear stability analysis is conducted firstly,demonstrating that Turing patterns and Hopf bifurcation can be induced in the controlled neural network by varying diffusion coefficients and time delays.Subsequently,the bifurcation direction is deduced via the center manifold theorem.Finally,a series of simulations are performed to validate the theoretical analysis and substantiate the efficacy of the PID control strategy.The results exhibit that the PID feedback controller can flexibly regulate the dynamics of the network-organized systems and possesses excellent disturbance rejection capabilities.
