These drones leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) to offer cross-location services for navigation. However, they are susceptible to security and privacy threats due to hardware and architectural issues. Although small drones hold promise for expansion in both civil and defense sectors, they have safety, security, and privacy threats. Addressing these challenges is crucial to maintaining the security and uninterrupted operations of these drones. In this regard, this study investigates security, and preservation concerning both the drones and Internet of Drones (IoD), emphasizing the significance of creating drone networks that are secure and can robustly withstand interceptions and intrusions. The proposed framework incorporates a weighted voting ensemble model comprising three convolutional neural network (CNN) models to enhance intrusion detection within the network. The employed CNNs are customized 1D models optimized to obtain better performance. The output from these CNNs is voted using a weighted criterion using a 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3 ratio for three CNNs, respectively. Experiments involve using multiple benchmark datasets, achieving an impressive accuracy of up to 99.89% on drone data. The proposed model shows promising results concerning precision, recall, and F1 as indicated by their obtained values of 99.92%, 99.98%, and 99.97%, respectively. Furthermore, cross-validation and performance comparison with existing works is also carried out. Findings indicate that the proposed approach offers a prospective solution for detecting security threats for aerial systems and satellite systems with high accuracy.展开更多

After training the connection weights of two-stage NNs separately in training phase, the connection weights of the unified NN are updated again in verification phase according to error between the predicted and target gains to eliminate the inherent error of the NNs. The simulation results show that the mean of root mean square error(RMSE) and maximum error of gains are 0.131 d B and 0.281 d B, respectively. It shows that the method can realize adaptive adjustment function of FRA gain with high accuracy.展开更多

文摘The increasing prevalence of multi-view data has made multi-view clustering a crucial technique for discovering latent structures from heterogeneous representations.However,traditional fuzzy clustering algorithms show limitations with the inherent uncertainty and imprecision of such data,as they rely on a single-dimensional membership value.To overcome these limitations,we propose an auto-weighted multi-view neutrosophic fuzzy clustering(AW-MVNFC)algorithm.Our method leverages the neutrosophic framework,an extension of fuzzy sets,to explicitly model imprecision and ambiguity through three membership degrees.The core novelty of AWMVNFC lies in a hierarchical weighting strategy that adaptively learns the contributions of both individual data views and the importance of each feature within a view.Through a unified objective function,AW-MVNFC jointly optimizes the neutrosophic membership assignments,cluster centers,and the distributions of view and feature weights.Comprehensive experiments conducted on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that our algorithm achieves more accurate and stable clustering than existing methods,demonstrating its effectiveness in handling the complexities of multi-view data.
文摘Small-drone technology has opened a range of new applications for aerial transportation. These drones leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) to offer cross-location services for navigation. However, they are susceptible to security and privacy threats due to hardware and architectural issues. Although small drones hold promise for expansion in both civil and defense sectors, they have safety, security, and privacy threats. Addressing these challenges is crucial to maintaining the security and uninterrupted operations of these drones. In this regard, this study investigates security, and preservation concerning both the drones and Internet of Drones (IoD), emphasizing the significance of creating drone networks that are secure and can robustly withstand interceptions and intrusions. The proposed framework incorporates a weighted voting ensemble model comprising three convolutional neural network (CNN) models to enhance intrusion detection within the network. The employed CNNs are customized 1D models optimized to obtain better performance. The output from these CNNs is voted using a weighted criterion using a 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3 ratio for three CNNs, respectively. Experiments involve using multiple benchmark datasets, achieving an impressive accuracy of up to 99.89% on drone data. The proposed model shows promising results concerning precision, recall, and F1 as indicated by their obtained values of 99.92%, 99.98%, and 99.97%, respectively. Furthermore, cross-validation and performance comparison with existing works is also carried out. Findings indicate that the proposed approach offers a prospective solution for detecting security threats for aerial systems and satellite systems with high accuracy.

文摘We present a gain adaptive tuning method for fiber Raman amplifier(FRA) using two-stage neural networks(NNs) and double weights updates. After training the connection weights of two-stage NNs separately in training phase, the connection weights of the unified NN are updated again in verification phase according to error between the predicted and target gains to eliminate the inherent error of the NNs. The simulation results show that the mean of root mean square error(RMSE) and maximum error of gains are 0.131 d B and 0.281 d B, respectively. It shows that the method can realize adaptive adjustment function of FRA gain with high accuracy.
文摘Growing regulatory demands for industrial safety and environmental protection in the chemical sector necessitate robust operational risk assessment to enhance management efficacy.Here,the HS Chemical Company is evaluated through a multidimensional framework encompassing market dynamics,macroeconomic factors,financial stability,governance,supply chains,and production safety.By integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)with entropy weighting,a hybrid weighting model that mitigates the limitations of singular methods is established.The analysis of this study identifies financial risk(weight:0.347)and production safety(weight:0.298)as dominant risk drivers.These quantitative insights offer a basis for resource prioritization and targeted risk mitigation strategies in chemical enterprises.

文摘Rice grain yield is primarily determined by three key agronomic traits:panicle number,grain number per panicle,and grain weight(GW).However,the inherent tradeoffs among these yield components remain a persistent challenge in rice breeding programs.Notably,compared with GW,brown rice weight(BRW)provides a more direct metric associated with actual grain yield potential.In this study,we conducted a two-year replicated genome-wide association study to elucidate the genetic architecture of BRW and identify new loci regulating GW.Among seven consistently detected loci across experimental replicates,four were not co-localized with previously reported genes associated with BRW or GW traits.BRW1.1,one of the four newly identified loci,was found to encode a novel RNA-binding protein.Functional characterization revealed that BRW1.1 acts as a negative regulator of BRW,potentially through modulating mRNA translation processes.Intriguingly,through integrated analysis of mutant phenotypes and haplotype variations,we demonstrated that BRW1.1 mediates the physiological tradeoff between GW and panicle number.This study not only delineates the genetic determinants of BRW but also identifies BRW1.1 as a promising molecular target for breaking the yield component tradeoff in precision rice breeding.

文摘BACKGROUND The global incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease(MASLD)has increased in recent years.It has already been demonstrated that exercise and weight change are associated with the occurrence of MASLD;however,the association between weight fluctuation caused by different exercise intensities and the risk of MASLD remains to be studied.AIM To investigate the impact of weight fluctuation and physical activity intensity on the risk of MASLD prevalence.METHODS Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database including five cycles from 2009 to 2018 were analyzed.The model included variables such as age,sex,and poverty income ratio.Weighted multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the influence of different weight fluctuation patterns within the two time intervals on the prevalence of MASLD.Nonparametric restricted cubic spline curves were used to analyze the non-linear relationship between net weight change and MASLD prevalence.RESULTS Among 3183 MASLD cases,the risk of MASLD increased with age for individuals transitioning from non-obese to obese or maintaining obesity,with odds ratio(OR)changing from 8.91(95%CI:7.40-10.88)and 11.87(95%CI:9.65-14.60)at 10 years before baseline to 9.58(95%CI:8.08-11.37)and 12.51(95%CI:9.33-16.78)at 25 years.Stable obesity correlated with age-dependent MASLD prevalence escalation,whereas increased physical activity attenuated MASLD risk in this group,with an OR changing from 13.64(95%CI:10.59-17.57)to 6.42(95%CI:4.24-9.72).Further analysis of the net weight changes revealed a paradoxical risk elevation with intensified physical activity during different time periods.CONCLUSION The risk of MASLD increases in individuals transitioning from non-obese to obese or maintaining obesity.Highintensity physical activity is beneficial for MASLD among individuals with stable obesity.

文摘Background Birth weight is a critical economic trait in livestock production.However,its genetic architecture remains poorly understood due to historical limitations in sample size and reliance on low-density SNP arrays.In this study,we utilized low-coverage whole-genome sequencing(lcWGS)to genotype 3,007 Hu sheep,bypassing the cost and resolution constraints of conventional genotyping arrays while achieving scalable genome-wide variant detection.Results LcWGS with high imputation accuracy(97.8%allelic concordance)enabled genome-wide association studies(GWAS)identifying two novel quantitative trait loci(QTLs)on chromosomes 6 and 9.The chromosome 9 QTL encompassed a regulatory region functionally linked to PLAG1 expression through expression quantitative trait locus(eQTL)mapping.Compared with wild-type homozygotes,heterozygous carriers of the lead SNP(chr9:g.35920172A>G)presented a 9.85%increase in birth weight(3.35 kg vs.3.68 kg;Δ=0.33 kg).Notably,the derived allele of this SNP exhibited low frequencies of<0.1 across most global sheep breeds except Dorper,highlighting its potential for selective breeding applications.Leveraging lcWGS data,haplotype-based fine-mapping prioritized three candidate causal variants.A secondary QTL on chromosome 6 colocalized with the FecB mutation,a well-established locus associated with increased litter size.Intriguingly,individuals carrying one FecB allele showed a 6.18%reduction(0.22 kg)in birth weight,which tentatively indicates potential pleiotropic influences on both growth and reproductive traits.Conclusion This study demonstrates the utility of lcWGS as a cost-effective,high-resolution tool for dissecting complex traits in livestock.Our findings not only advance the understanding of birth weight genetics in sheep but also offer a blueprint for accelerating genetic improvement programs in global livestock production through costeffective,genome-wide approaches.
