文摘The growing incidence of cyberattacks necessitates a robust and effective Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)for enhanced network security.While conventional IDSs can be unsuitable for detecting different and emerging attacks,there is a demand for better techniques to improve detection reliability.This study introduces a new method,the Deep Adaptive Multi-Layer Attention Network(DAMLAN),to boost the result of intrusion detection on network data.Due to its multi-scale attention mechanisms and graph features,DAMLAN aims to address both known and unknown intrusions.The real-world NSL-KDD dataset,a popular choice among IDS researchers,is used to assess the proposed model.There are 67,343 normal samples and 58,630 intrusion attacks in the training set,12,833 normal samples,and 9711 intrusion attacks in the test set.Thus,the proposed DAMLAN method is more effective than the standard models due to the consideration of patterns by the attention layers.The experimental performance of the proposed model demonstrates that it achieves 99.26%training accuracy and 90.68%testing accuracy,with precision reaching 98.54%on the training set and 96.64%on the testing set.The recall and F1 scores again support the model with training set values of 99.90%and 99.21%and testing set values of 86.65%and 91.37%.These results provide a strong basis for the claims made regarding the model’s potential to identify intrusion attacks and affirm its relatively strong overall performance,irrespective of type.Future work would employ more attempts to extend the scalability and applicability of DAMLAN for real-time use in intrusion detection systems.

文摘Dear Editor,Underactuated autonomous surface vessels(ASVs)are increasingly attracting attention from researchers because of a wide range of applications[1].Consequently,path following,a typical functionality for ASVs,has become a research focus[2].Despite the abundant study results,some challenging issues are still worthy of exploration and resolution,two of which are addressed in this letter.The first one is related to the guidance law.Currently,common guidance methods in the ASV field include the line-of-sight(LOS)guidance[3]and vector field(VF)guidance[4].The response quality of LOS guidance is highly related to the lookahead distance;a constant lookahead distance may result in undesired phenomena such as the singularity problem and the reduction of trajectory smoothness of ASVs(see[5]).To this end,several works have proposed modified LOS guidance laws(see[6]).Although the above modifications,as pointed out by[7],the VF guidance exhibits smaller crosstrack errors and better performances than the LOS guidance.However,the existing VF guidance is only available for straight lines and orbits rather than curved paths,a considerable obstacle that limits its practical application(see[8],[9]).Thus,the VF guidance for curved path following deserves more in-depth study.
文摘Objective:To study the application effect of bundle nursing strategy in the maintenance of difficult blood vessels for long-term hemodialysis patients.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 40 long-term hemodialysis patients admitted from January 2024 to January 2025.The patients were randomly divided into a control group(20 cases)and an observation group(20 cases)using computer random sampling.The control group received routine nursing for difficult blood vessels,while the observation group received a bundle nursing strategy for difficult blood vessels.The self-care ability,complication rate,and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:After nursing,the self-care ability score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The complication rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The nursing satisfaction in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of the bundle nursing strategy in the maintenance of difficult blood vessels for long-term hemodialysis patients is beneficial for improving self-care ability,reducing complications,and increasing patient satisfaction with nursing services.

文摘The mechanical properties,microstructure and second phase precipitation behavior of flange forgings for high-pressure hydrogen storage vessels at different tempering temperatures(620–700℃)were studied.The results showed that when tempered at 620–680°C,the main microstructure of the test steel was tempered sorbite,and the main microstructure of tempered steel changed to martensite at 700℃.At 700℃,the dislocation density increased and some retained austenite existed.With the tempering temperature increasing,the yield strength showed a decreasing trend,the formation of fresh martensite made the tensile strength first decrease and then increase slightly,the impact energy at−40℃increased first and then decreased,and the impact energy at 660℃had the maximum value.The precipitates of MC type were mainly(Mo,V,Ti)C.The test steel had excellent strength and toughness matching at 660℃tempering,the tensile strength at different cross section locations was above 750 MPa,the impact energy was above 200 J at−40℃,and the relative percentage reduction of area(ZH2/ZN2)was above 75%at hydrogen environment of 6.3 MPa.

文摘Transportation structures such as composite pavements and railway foundations typically consist of multi-layered media designed to withstand high bearing capacity.A theoretical understanding of load transfer mechanisms in these multi-layer composites is essential,as it offers intuitive insights into parametric influences and facilitates enhanced structural performance.This paper employs an improved transfer matrix method to address the limitations of existing theoretical approaches for analyzing multi-layer composite structures.By establishing a twodimensional composite pavement model,it investigates load transfer characteristics and validates the accuracy through finite element simulation.The proposed method offers a straightforward analytical approach for examining internal interactions between structural layers.Case studies indicate that the concrete surface layer is the main load-bearing layer for most vertical normal and shear stresses.The soil base layer reduces the overall mechanical response of the substructure,while horizontal actions increase the risk of interfacial slip and cracking.Structural optimization analysis demonstrates that increasing the thickness of the concrete surface layer,enhancing the thickness and stiffness of the soil base layer,or incorporating gradient layers can significantly mitigate these risks of interfacial slip and cracking.The findings of this study can guide the optimization design,parameter analysis,and damage prevention of multi-layer composite structures.

文摘This study proposes a general imperfect thermal contact model to predict the thermal contact resistance at the interface among multi-layered composite structures.Based on the Green-Lindsay(GL)thermoelastic theory,semi analytical solutions of temperature increment and displacement of multi-layered composite structures are obtained by using the Laplace transform method,upon which the effects of thermal resistance coefficient,partition coefficient,thermal conductivity ratio and heat capacity ratio on the responses are studied.The results show that the generalized imperfect thermal contact model can realistically describe the imperfect thermal contact problem.Accordingly,it may degenerate into other thermal contact models by adjusting the thermal resistance coefficient and partition coefficient.

文摘In practical engineering construction,multi-layered barriers containing geomembranes are extensively applied to retard the migration of pollutants.However,the associated analytical theory on pollutants diffusion still needs to be further improved.In this work,general analytical solutions are derived for one-dimensional diffusion of degradable organic contaminant(DOC)in the multi-layered media containing geomembranes under a time-varying concentration boundary condition,where the variable substitution and separated variable approaches are employed.These analytical solutions with clear expressions can be used not only to study the diffusion behaviors of DOC in bottom and vertical composite barrier systems,but also to verify other complex numerical models.The proposed general analytical solutions are then fully validated via three comparative analyses,including comparisons with the experimental measurements,an existing analytical solution,and a finite-difference solution.Ultimately,the influences of different factors on the composite cutoff wall’s(CCW,which consists of two soil-bentonite layers and a geomembrane)service performance are investigated through a composite vertical barrier system as the application example.The findings obtained from this investigation can provide scientific guidance for the barrier performance evaluation and the engineering design of CCWs.This application example also exhibits the necessity and effectiveness of the developed analytical solutions.

文摘Low Earth Orbit(LEO)mega-constellation networks,exemplified by Starlink,are poised to play a pivotal role in future mobile communication networks,due to their low latency and high capacity.With the massively deployed satellites,ground users now can be covered by multiple visible satellites,but also face complex handover issues with such massive high-mobility satellites in multi-layer.The end-to-end routing is also affected by the handover behavior.In this paper,we propose an intelligent handover strategy dedicated to multi-layer LEO mega-constellation networks.Firstly,an analytic model is utilized to rapidly estimate the end-to-end propagation latency as a key handover factor to construct a multi-objective optimization model.Subsequently,an intelligent handover strategy is proposed by employing the Dueling Double Deep Q Network(D3QN)-based deep reinforcement learning algorithm for single-layer constellations.Moreover,an optimal crosslayer handover scheme is proposed by predicting the latency-jitter and minimizing the cross-layer overhead.Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method in the multi-layer LEO mega-constellation,showcasing reductions of up to 8.2%and 59.5%in end-to-end latency and jitter respectively,when compared to the existing handover strategies.

文摘Cerebral small vessel disease encompasses a group of neurological disorders characterized by injury to small blood vessels,often leading to stroke and dementia.Due to its diverse etiologies and complex pathological mechanisms,preventing and treating cerebral small vessel vasculopathy is challenging.Recent studies have shown that the glymphatic system plays a crucial role in interstitial solute clearance and the maintenance of brain homeostasis.Increasing evidence also suggests that dysfunction in glymphatic clearance is a key factor in the progression of cerebral small vessel disease.This review begins with a comprehensive introduction to the structure,function,and driving factors of the glymphatic system,highlighting its essential role in brain waste clearance.Afterwards,cerebral small vessel disease was reviewed from the perspective of the glymphatic system,after which the mechanisms underlying their correlation were summarized.Glymphatic dysfunction may lead to the accumulation of metabolic waste in the brain,thereby exacerbating the pathological processes associated with cerebral small vessel disease.The review also discussed the direct evidence of glymphatic dysfunction in patients and animal models exhibiting two subtypes of cerebral small vessel disease:arteriolosclerosis-related cerebral small vessel disease and amyloid-related cerebral small vessel disease.Diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space is an important non-invasive tool for assessing the clearance function of the glymphatic system.However,the effectiveness of its parameters needs to be enhanced.Among various nervous system diseases,including cerebral small vessel disease,glymphatic failure may be a common final pathway toward dementia.Overall,this review summarizes prevention and treatment strategies that target glymphatic drainage and will offer valuable insight for developing novel treatments for cerebral small vessel disease.
文摘Stab-resistant textiles play a critical role in personal protection,necessitating a deeper understanding of how structural and layering factors influence their performance.The current study experimentally examines the effects of textile structure,layering,and ply orientation on the stab resistance of multi-layer textiles.Three 3D warp interlock(3DWI)structures({f1},{f2},{f3})and a 2D woven fabric({f4}),all made of high-performance p-aramid yarns,were engineered and manufactured.Multi-layer specimens were prepared and subjected to drop-weight stabbing tests following HOSBD standards.Stabbing performance metrics,including Depth of Trauma(DoT),Depth of Penetration(DoP),and trauma deformation(Ymax,Xmax),were investigated and analyzed.Statistical analyses(Two-and One-Way ANOVA)indicated that fabric type and layer number significantly impacted DoP(P<0.05),while ply orientation significantly affected DoP(P<0.05)but not DoT(P>0.05).Further detailed analysis revealed that 2D woven fabrics exhibited greater trauma deformation than 3D WIF structures.Increasing the number of layers reduced both DoP and DoT across all fabric structures,with f3 demonstrating the best performance in multi-layer configurations.Aligned ply orientations also enhanced stab resistance,underscoring the importance of alignment in dissipating impact energy.

文摘Segmentation of the retinal vessels in the fundus is crucial for diagnosing ocular diseases.Retinal vessel images often suffer from category imbalance and large scale variations.This ultimately results in incomplete vessel segmentation and poor continuity.In this study,we propose CT-MFENet to address the aforementioned issues.First,the use of context transformer(CT)allows for the integration of contextual feature information,which helps establish the connection between pixels and solve the problem of incomplete vessel continuity.Second,multi-scale dense residual networks are used instead of traditional CNN to address the issue of inadequate local feature extraction when the model encounters vessels at multiple scales.In the decoding stage,we introduce a local-global fusion module.It enhances the localization of vascular information and reduces the semantic gap between high-and low-level features.To address the class imbalance in retinal images,we propose a hybrid loss function that enhances the segmentation ability of the model for topological structures.We conducted experiments on the publicly available DRIVE,CHASEDB1,STARE,and IOSTAR datasets.The experimental results show that our CT-MFENet performs better than most existing methods,including the baseline U-Net.

文摘Frequent flood disasters caused by climate change may lead to tremendous economic and human losses along inland waterways.Emergency response and rescue vessels(ERRVs)play an essential role in minimizing losses and protecting lives and property.However,the path planning of ERRVs has mainly depended on expert experiences instead of rational decision making.This paper proposes an improved artificial potential field(APF)algorithm to optimize the shortest path for ERRVs in the rescue process.To verify the feasibility of the proposed model,eight tests were carried out in two water areas of the Yangtze River.The results showed that the improved APF algorithm was efficient with fewer iterations and that the response time of path planning was reduced to around eight seconds.The improved APF algorithm performed better in the ERRV’s goal achievement,compared with the traditional algorithm.The path planning method for ERRVs proposed in this paper has theoretical and practical value in flood relief.It can be applied in the emergency management of ERRVs to accelerate flood management efficiency and improve capacity to prevent,mitigate,and relieve flood disasters.

文摘Cerebral small vessel disease is a major vascular contributor to cognitive impairment and dementia.However,there remains a lack of effective preventative or therapeutic regimens for cerebral small vessel disease.In this study,we investigated the potential therapeutic effects of MCC950,a selective NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 inhibitor,on cerebral small vessel disease pathogenesis and cognitive decline in spontaneously hypertensive rats.Our results showed that chronic administration of MCC950(10 mg/kg)to spontaneously hypertensive rats inhibited NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 inflammasome activation,thereby considerably suppressing the production of pyroptosis executive protein gasdermin D and pro-inflammatory factors,including interleukin-1βand-18.A decrease in astrocytic and microglial activation was also observed.We also found that MCC950 significantly inhibited autophagy.More importantly,behavioral assessment indicated that MCC950 administration ameliorated impaired neurocognitive function,which was associated with improvements in neuropathological hallmarks in the cerebral small vessel disease brain,such as blood‒brain barrier breakdown,white matter damage,and endothelial dysfunction.Thus,our findings revealed that the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 inflammasome is a key contributor to the onset or progression of cerebral small vessel disease and suggested the potential of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3-based therapy as a potential novel strategy for treating cerebral small vessel disease.
