Research on collaborative scheduling strategies of multi-agent agricultural machinery groups by Ziyi Wang, Fan Zhang, Shiji Ma, Hailong Wang, Shunyao Zhang, Xiaozhong Gao

“…In this study, three dispatch centers were selected within the maize growing area of Hebei Province, and comparative analyses were conducted for 20, 40, 50, 100 and 120 farmlands, respectively.The results indicate that the MCMPP-DRL algorithm achieves a reduction in total scheduling costs of at least 9.66%, 14.34% and 24.41% compared to Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithms(GA), respectively.The significant optimization in scheduling costs demonstrates that the MCMPP-DRL algorithm establishes a robust theoretical foundation and offers technical support for addressing complex scheduling problems involving multiple dispatch centers and multiple.…”

Transfection of unmodified oligodeoxynucleotide with polyethylenimine reduces the level of hepatitis B surface antigen by Junyu Lin, Jing Li

“…IntroductionThe delivery of nucleic acid into cells using polyethylenimine (PEI) as non-viral carrier is a potential candidate technique for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.MethodsIn the present study, PEI was used as cationic polymers and transfected with unmodified oligodeoxynucleotides in cell cultures and the BALB/c mouse model to investigate its efficiency in blocking HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) secretion.Results and discussionPEI/oligonucleotide complexes selectively inhibited HBsAg secretion in the culture supernatant, while there were no evident alterations in HBeAg and HBV DNA levels, thereby suggesting its potential inhibitory activity against the production of HBsAg. …”
