Cloud computing emerges as a paradigm of Internet computing in which dynamical, scalable and often virtuMized resources are provided as services. With virtualization technology, cloud computing offers diverse services （such as virtual computing, virtual storage, virtual bandwidth, etc.） for the public by means of multi-tenancy mode. Although users are enjoying the capabilities of super-computing and mass storage supplied by cloud computing, cloud security still remains as a hot spot problem, which is in essence the trust management between data owners and storage service providers. In this paper, we propose a data coloring method based on cloud watermarking to recognize and ensure mutual reputations. The experimental results show that the robustness of reverse cloud generator can guarantee users＇ embedded social reputation identifications. Hence, our work provides a reference solution to the critical problem of cloud security.展开更多

The broadcast scheduling problem （BSP） is aimed to schedule each node in different slot of fixed length frame at least once, and the objective of BSP is to seek for the optimal feasible solution, which has the shortest length of frame slots, as well as the maximum node transmission. A two-stage mixed algorithm based on a fuzzy Hopfield neural network is proposed to solve this BSP in wireless sensor network. In the first stage, a modified sequential vertex coloring algorithm is adopted to obtain a minimal TDMA frame length. In the second stage, the fuzzy Hopfleld network is utilized to maximize the channel utilization ratio. Experimental results, obtained from the running on three benchmark graphs, show that the algorithm can achieve better performance with shorter frame length and higher channel utilizing ratio than other exiting BSP solutions.展开更多

A total coloring f of G is called an E-total coloring if no two adjacent vertices of G receive the same color, and no edge of G receives the same color as one of its endpoints. For an E-total coloring f of a graph G and any vertex x of G, let C（x） denote the set of colors of vertex x and of the edges incident with x, we call C（x） the color set of x. If C（u） ≠ C（v） for any two different vertices u and v of V （G）, then we say that f is a vertex-distinguishing E-total coloring of G or a VDET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDET coloring of G is denoted by Хvt^e（G） and is called the VDE T chromatic number of G. The VDET coloring of complete bipartite graph K7,n （7 ≤ n ≤ 95） is discussed in this paper and the VDET chromatic number of K7,n （7 ≤ n ≤ 95） has been obtained.展开更多

First, using the matrix semi-tensor product, the robust graph coloring is expressed into a kind of optimization problem taking in an algebraic form of matrices, based on which an algorithm is designed to find all the most robust coloring schemes for any simple graph. Second, an equivalent problem of robust graph coloring is studied, and a necessary and sufficient condition is proposed, from which a new algorithm to find all the most robust coloring schemes is established. Third, a kind of examination timetabling is discussed by using the obtained results, and a method to design a practicable timetabling scheme is presented. Finally, the effectiveness of the results/algorithms presented in this paper is shown by two illustrative examples.展开更多

文摘Due to the mutual interference and sharing of wireless links in TDMA wireless sensor networks, conflicts will occur when data messages are transmitting between nodes. The broadcast scheduling problem （BSP） is aimed to schedule each node in different slot of fixed length frame at least once, and the objective of BSP is to seek for the optimal feasible solution, which has the shortest length of frame slots, as well as the maximum node transmission. A two-stage mixed algorithm based on a fuzzy Hopfield neural network is proposed to solve this BSP in wireless sensor network. In the first stage, a modified sequential vertex coloring algorithm is adopted to obtain a minimal TDMA frame length. In the second stage, the fuzzy Hopfleld network is utilized to maximize the channel utilization ratio. Experimental results, obtained from the running on three benchmark graphs, show that the algorithm can achieve better performance with shorter frame length and higher channel utilizing ratio than other exiting BSP solutions.

文摘One-dimensional(1D)organic-inorganic halide perovskites have produced significant research interest due to their unique structure and superior tunable luminescence properties.Here,we successfully achieved a unique color-tunable phenomenon of Mn-doped 1D post-perovskite(TDMP)PbBr_(4)(TDMP=trans-2,5-dimethylpiperazine)(TPBM-14)under high pressure.Which exhibited tunable photoluminescence(PL)emission from red to yellow orange.Meanwhile,the band gap continued to decrease below 20.0 GPa,accompanied by piezochromism,which was associated the shrinkage and distortion of inorganic,which enhances the crystal field splitting energy and reduces the energy gap of the ^(4)T_(1) to ^(6)A_(1) transition.The unique octahedral corner-and edge-sharing structure of(TDMP)PbBr_(4),the synergistic effect of Mn doping and pressure induces local lattice distortion in TPBM-14,leading to a significant enhancement of the STE emission at 8.1 GPa.Our research explores the intrinsic connection between the band structure and optical properties of TPBM-14 under high pressure and offers valuable insights for performance optimization.

文摘By leveraging the unique qualities of microorganisms,engineered living materials(ELMs)offer functional and economic advantages in everyday applications along with notable ecological benefits.This study contributes to the growing field of biodesign by examining the potential of Flavobacteria for thermochromic ELMs.Many Flavobacteria,commonly found in marine environments,produce iridescent structural colorations as their colonies expand on semi-solid surfaces through gliding motility.In this study,we analyzed the effects of temperature variations on flavobacterium Cellulophaga lytica PLY A 2,characterizing distinct changes in colony growth and iridescent colorations at a macroscopic and microscopic scale.Using scanning electron microscopy,we investigated the relationship between iridescent color and the underlying cell-based optical structures.By providing insights into the temperature-responsive behavior of Flavobacteria,our findings highlight their potential for future thermochromic ELMs-with applications ranging from sustainable food packaging to smart textiles-while encouraging further characterization studies within biodesign research.

文摘Coconut(Cocos nucifera L.),a major oil and fruit crop of the Arecaceae family,is extensively cultivated across the Asia—Pacific region.Despite its agricultural importance,genome assembly in coconut remains challenging due to its large genome size and high proportion of repetitive sequences.Allele-specific expression(ASE)plays a key role in regulating plant development and evolution,yet research on ASE in coconut is limited(Shao et al.,2019;Li et al.,2021;Zhang et al.,2021;Hu et al.,2022).Among phenotypic traits,fruit color is especially important as an indicator of maturity,guiding harvest timing and post-harvest processes(Kapoor et al.,2022).While prior studies have explored various coconut traits such as salt tolerance,fiber content,and plant height(Wang et al.,2021;Yang et al.,2021),investigations into ASE and fruit color remain scarce.

文摘Osmanthus fragrans is most famous for its strong aroma,and different varieties have different degrees of fragrance and color.Fragrance and color are important factors affecting the ornamental quality of O.fragrans.Terpenoids are important secondary metabolites in plants,with β-carotene(C40)being the major pigment substance and linalool(C10)being the key aromatic component in O.fragrans.The geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase genes(GGPPSs)play important roles in secondary metabolism in plants.However,the functions of the GGPPS family in floral color and fragrance formation has rarely been reported in O.fragrans.In this study,24 Of GGPPS genes were identified and classified into two subfamilies.The Of GGPPSs showed tissue-specific expression and Of GGPPS13 had highest expression in flowers.The Of GGPPS13 protein was localized to chloroplasts.The transcriptome data of Of GGPPS13 was verified by q RT-PCR and the expression level in‘Wanyingui'with strong aroma was higher than that in‘Zhuangyuanhong'with deep color at different flower development stages.Transient overexpression of Of GGPPS13 in O.fragrans petals showed that Of GGPPS13 increased the β-carotene content,the main color substance of O.fragrans,but decreased the linalool content,the main volatile organic compound(VOC)in the floral aroma of O.fragrans.Of GGPPS13 was indicated as the critical gene related to terpenoid synthesis in the floral aroma and color formation in O.fragrans.Our findings provide gene resources on the GGPPS gene family for further revealing the molecular regulation mechanism of the floral color and aroma formation in O.fragrans.

文摘Retinal diseases are a serious threat to human visual health and their early diagnosis is crucial.Currently,most of the retinal disease diagnostic algorithms are based on a single imaging modality of fundus color photography(FCP)or optical coherence tomography(OCT).These methods can only reflect retinal diseases to a certain extent,ignoring the speci ficity of modalities between different imaging modalities.In this research,a newmulti-scale feature fusion network(MSFF-Net)model for multi-modal retinal image diagnosis is proposed.The MSFF-Net model employs a dualbranch architecture design,enabling efficient learning and extraction of multi-modal feature information related to retinal diseases from CFP and OCT images.MSFF-Net improves disease diagnosis by combining multi-scale features of CFP and OCT images.When evaluated on challenging datasets,the model achieved an accuracy of 95.00%and an F1-score of 95.24%for retinal disease diagnosis.Even under low-quality dataset conditions,it maintained robust performance,with diagnostic accuracy and F1-scores of 71.50%and 71.73%,respectively.In addition,the MSFFNet model outperformed eight state-of-the-art single and multi-modal models in the comparison experiments.The proposed MSFF-Net model provides ophthalmologists with a more accurate and efficient diagnostic pathway that helps them detect and treat retinal diseases earlier.
文摘Let G be a simple graph. A total coloring f of G is called an E-total coloring if no two adjacent vertices of G receive the same color, and no edge of G receives the same color as one of its endpoints. For an E-total coloring f of a graph G and any vertex x of G, let C（x） denote the set of colors of vertex x and of the edges incident with x, we call C（x） the color set of x. If C（u） ≠ C（v） for any two different vertices u and v of V （G）, then we say that f is a vertex-distinguishing E-total coloring of G or a VDET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDET coloring of G is denoted by Хvt^e（G） and is called the VDE T chromatic number of G. The VDET coloring of complete bipartite graph K7,n （7 ≤ n ≤ 95） is discussed in this paper and the VDET chromatic number of K7,n （7 ≤ n ≤ 95） has been obtained.

文摘This paper investigates the robust graph coloring problem with application to a kind of examination timetabling by using the matrix semi-tensor product, and presents a number of new results and algorithms. First, using the matrix semi-tensor product, the robust graph coloring is expressed into a kind of optimization problem taking in an algebraic form of matrices, based on which an algorithm is designed to find all the most robust coloring schemes for any simple graph. Second, an equivalent problem of robust graph coloring is studied, and a necessary and sufficient condition is proposed, from which a new algorithm to find all the most robust coloring schemes is established. Third, a kind of examination timetabling is discussed by using the obtained results, and a method to design a practicable timetabling scheme is presented. Finally, the effectiveness of the results/algorithms presented in this paper is shown by two illustrative examples.
