文摘Modern battlefields exhibit high dynamism,where traditional static weighting methods in combat effectiveness assessment fail to capture real-time changes in indicator values,leading to limited assessment accuracy—especially critical in scenarios like sudden electronic warfare or degraded command,where static weights cannot reflect the operational value decay or surge of key indicators.To address this issue,this study proposes a dynamic adaptive weightingmethod for evaluation indicators based onG1-CRITIC-PIVW.First,theG1(Sequential Relationship Analysis Method)subjective weighting method—translates expert knowledge into indicator importance rankings—leverages expert knowledge to quantify the relative importance of indicators via sequential relationship ranking,while the CRITIC(Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation)objective weighting method—derives weights from data characteristics by integrating variability and inter-correlations—calculates weights by integrating indicator variability and inter-indicator correlations,ensuring data-driven objectivity.These two sets of weights are then fused using a deviation coefficient optimization model,minimizing the squared deviation from a reference weight and adjusting the fusion coefficient via Spearman’s rank correlation to resolve potential conflicts between subjective and objective judgments.Subsequently,the PIVW(Punishment-Incentive VariableWeight)theory—adapts weights to realtime indicator performance via penalty/incentive rules—is applied for dynamic adjustment.Scenario-specific penalty λ_(1) and incentive λ_(2) thresholds are set based on operational priorities and indicator volatility,penalizing indicators with values below λ_(1) and incentivizing those exceeding λ_(2) to reflect real-time indicator performance.Experimental validation was conducted using an Air Defense and Anti-Missile(ADAM)system effectiveness assessment framework,with data covering 7 indicators across 3 combat scenarios.Results show that compared to static weighting methods,the proposed method reduces MAE(Mean Absolute Error)by 15%-20% and weighted decision error rate by 84.2%,effectively reducing overestimation/underestimation of combat effectiveness in dynamic scenarios;compared to Entropy-TOPSIS,it lowers MAE by 12% while achieving a weighted Kendall’sτconsistency coefficient of 0.85,ensuring higher alignment with expert judgment.This method enhances the accuracy and scenario adaptability of effectiveness assessment,providing reliable decision support for dynamic battlefield environments.

文摘In this paper,we are concerned with the stability of traveling wavefronts of a Belousov-Zhabotinsky model with mixed nonlocal and degenerate diffusions.Such a system can be used to study the competition among nonlocally diffusive species and degenerately diffusive species.We prove that the traveling wavefronts are exponentially stable,when the initial perturbation around the traveling waves decays exponentially as x→-∞,but in other locations,the initial data can be arbitrarily large.The adopted methods are the weighted energy with the comparison principle and squeezing technique.
文摘With the increasing complexity of vehicular networks and the proliferation of connected vehicles,Federated Learning(FL)has emerged as a critical framework for decentralized model training while preserving data privacy.However,efficient client selection and adaptive weight allocation in heterogeneous and non-IID environments remain challenging.To address these issues,we propose Federated Learning with Client Selection and Adaptive Weighting(FedCW),a novel algorithm that leverages adaptive client selection and dynamic weight allocation for optimizing model convergence in real-time vehicular networks.FedCW selects clients based on their Euclidean distance from the global model and dynamically adjusts aggregation weights to optimize both data diversity and model convergence.Experimental results show that FedCW significantly outperforms existing FL algorithms such as FedAvg,FedProx,and SCAFFOLD,particularly in non-IID settings,achieving faster convergence,higher accuracy,and reduced communication overhead.These findings demonstrate that FedCW provides an effective solution for enhancing the performance of FL in heterogeneous,edge-based computing environments.

文摘Children with autism often exhibit abnormalities in body weight,but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains protein 3(SHANK3),a scaffold protein of the postsynaptic density,has been reported to be associated with autism.This study aimed to investigate whether and how SHANK3 influences body weight in the hypothalamic neuronal regulation of energy homeostasis.Adeno-associated viruses 9(AAV9)carrying CMV-Cre and Agrp-Cre were stereotactically injected to restore SHANK3 expression in the arcuate nucleus(ARC)and agouti-related peptide(AgRP)neurons,respectively.Agrp-Cre mice were injected with AAV9-p38αflox/flox to overexpress p38α.Activated p38αwas generated by mutating both D176A and F327S in p38α.Inactivated p38αwas constructed by mutating both T180A and Y182F in p38α.Metabolic analysis,immunoblotting,histological analysis,the glucose tolerance test,the insulin tolerance test,and body fat mass analysis were applied to investigate the underlying mechanisms by which SHANK3 regulates body weight.We reveal that SHANK3 regulates body weight via the p38αsignaling pathway in the AgRP neurons of the hypothalamus.Shank3 knockout(Shank3−/−)mice exhibit resistance to diet-induced obesity.Shank3 re-expression in the ARC or AgRP neurons increases body weight in Shank3 knock-in mice with an inverted allele(SKO).Overexpression or activation of p38αin AgRP neurons elicits resistance to diet-induced obesity.Inactivated p38αin AgRP neurons abolished the resistance to diet-induced obesity due to SHANK3 deficiency.Our findings suggest that the SHANK3-p38αsiganling pathway in AgRP neurons regulates body weight balance in autism,revealing a promising therapeutic target for obesity in children with autism.

文摘In the era of massive data,the study of distributed data is a significant topic.Model averaging can be effectively applied to distributed data by combining information from all machines.For linear models,the model averaging approach has been developed in the context of distributed data.However,further investigation is needed for more complex models.In this paper,the authors propose a distributed optimal model averaging approach based on multivariate additive models,which approximates unknown functions using B-splines allowing each machine to have a different smoothing degree.To utilize the information from the covariance matrix of dependent errors in multivariate multiple regressions,the authors use the Mahalanobis distance to construct a Mallows-type weight choice criterion.The criterion can be computed by transmitting information between the local machines and the center machine in two steps.The authors demonstrate the asymptotic optimality of the proposed model averaging estimator when the covariates are subject to uncertainty,and obtain the convergence rate of the weight vector to the theoretically optimal weights.The results remain novel even for additive models with a single response variable.The numerical examples show that the proposed method yields good performance.
文摘Ulva lactuca whole components served as a carbon source for high-density fermentation of Bifidobacterium,yielding a low-cost,highly biocompatible Ulva lactuca bifidobacterium ferment filtrate(ULBFF).Its peptide profile and molecular weight distribution were characterized by LC/MS.Cosmetic potential was systematically evaluated through stability testing,HET-CAM test,ABTS+∙/DPPH∙scavenging,NO inhibition,melanin suppression,and type Ⅰ collagen promotion.The results indicated a rich distribution of peptides,predominantly low-molecular-weight oligopeptides,with 92.92%of peptides containing≤20 amino acids and 84.89%of components having a molecular weight<500 Da.Formulations exhibited excellent stability and low irritation.Furthermore,they showed significantly enhanced efficacy in key areas,including antioxidant and antiinflammatory activity,melanin suppression,and collagen promotion.The ULBFF improved multifunctional performance while maintaining formulation stability and safety,demonstrating high scalability and potential for marine bioresource utilization in functional cosmetics.

文摘Thousand-seed weight(TSW)is a critical target for genetic improvement in rapeseed(Brassica napus L.).However,phenotypic selection for this trait remains challenging due to its polygenic regulation by multiple quantitative trait loci(QTL).Here,six favorable TSW QTL alleles from two donor parents were introgress into an elite restorer line,621R,using an integrated strategy combining marker-assisted backcrossing and speed breeding protocols.Through six rounds of backcrossing and convergent crossing followed by two generations of selfing strategies,we developed 13 advanced lines with diverse TSW QTL combinations within 24 months.Field evaluations across three environments revealed that all lines exhibited significantly increased TSW in spring conditions(Minle,Gansu)and winter environments(Wuhan and Jiangling,Hubei)except for two lines which only showed increase in the spring environment.Hybridization assays using these lines as male parents crossed with two male-sterile lines(RG430A and 616A)demonstrated transgressive segregation for TSW:For RG430A-derived hybrids,all crosses significantly outperformed the original control(RG430A×621R)in Wuhan,with 8/13 and 9/13 crosses showing significant TSW increases in Minle and Jiangling,respectively.For 616A-derived hybrids,11/13 and 10/13 crosses exhibited significant TSW enhancement in Minle and Jiangling,compared to 3/13 in Wuhan.Notably,two top-performing hybrids achieved 13.0%and 6.8%higher plot yields,respectively.Our results demonstrate that strategic pyramiding of complementary TSW QTL alleles effectively enhances seed weight in rapeseed,and these improved lines represent valuable genetic resources for developing high-yield hybrids.
