Low-overhead routing algorithm for opportunistic networks based on immunity information piggybacked by SV by Zhi REN, Cong CHEN, Ya-nan CAO, Chen PENG, Qian-bin CHEN

“…A novel routing algorithm,LRPI (low-overhead routing with piggybacked immunity information) was proposed.LRPI contains the following four new mechanisms:piggybacking the immune information with SV(summary vectors),fast generation of the immune information through a cross-layer method,an improved exchange mechanism of SV,and adaptive compression of SV.Based on the above new mechanism,LRPI not only avoids using special data structure but also can achieve the same immune function more quickly.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that LRPI outperforms the classical epidemic routing algorithm and a few of its improvements in terms of control overhead,the number of saved packets,and average end-to-end delay.…”

A Fast Image Segmentation Algorithm Based on Saliency Map and Neutrosophic Set Theory by Sensen Song, Zhenhong Jia, Jie Yang, Nikola K. Kasabov

“…Then, the initial saliency map is generated. After the weighted superposition of the initial saliency map, the local entropy map and the gray scale map, the final saliency map can be generated using the nonlinear function, and it can effectively highlight the foreground information of the image. …”

The dynamics and longevity of circulating CD4+ memory T cells depend on cell age and not the chronological age of the host. by M Elise Bullock, Thea Hogan, Cayman Williams, Sinead Morris, Maria Nowicka, Minahil Sharjeel, Christiaan van Dorp, Andrew J Yates, Benedict Seddon

“…This behaviour may limit memory CD4 T cell diversity by skewing TCR repertoires towards clones generated early in life, but may also compensate for functional defects in new memory cells generated in old age.…”

Demography and the age of rare variants. by Iain Mathieson, Gil McVean

“…Haplotypes shared between continents are much older with median ages for haplotypes shared between Europe and Asia ranging from 320 to 670 generations. The distribution of the ages of ƒ(2) haplotypes is informative about their demography, revealing recent bottlenecks, ancient splits, and more modern connections between populations. …”

Supervised optimal control in complex continuous systems with trajectory imitation and reinforcement learning by Yingjun Liu, Fuchun Liu, Renwei Huang

“…Reinforcement learning (RL) automatically learns complex decisions through trial and error, but it requires the design of precise reward functions combined with domain knowledge. For complex scenarios where the reward function cannot be achieved or is only with sparse rewards, we proposed a novel supervised optimal control framework based on trajectory imitation (TI) and reinforcement learning (RL) in this paper. …”

The role of metal-halide bond in the distortions and asymmetric non-covalent interactions in chiral hybrid perovskites by Mariagrazia Fortino, Alessandro Mattoni, Adriana Pietropaolo

“…This result indicates that the central metal strongly influences the overall packing encapsulating the chiral ligands stabilized by non-covalent interactions. The more the central metal is a hard acid, the more the bond with the soft iodide base is weak or viceversa the more the central metal is a soft acid, the more the bond with a hard base is weak. …”

IGF2BP2 binding to CPSF6 facilitates m6A‐mediated alternative polyadenylation of PUM2 and promotes malignant progression in ovarian cancer by Xin Luo, Qinglv Wei, Lingcui Xie, Ningxuan Chen, Bin Gu, Jiani Xu, Xiaoyan Jiang, Xinzhao Zuo, Hongyan Zhao, Xiaoyi Liu, Yu Yang, Tao Liu, Yong Zhu, Ping Yi, Jing Xu

“…PUM2 was carried m6A and recognized by IGF2BP2, and CPSF6 was recruited at the proximal polyadenylation signal (pPAS) to generate the short‐3′UTR transcript. The short PUM2 transcript was more stable than the long transcript, which promoted the malignant progression of OC. …”

Polishing inner wall of crossed deep micropores using magnetic microabrasive jet technology by Zezhi WANG, Jie WANG, Xiaogang MA, Fan LI, Xinya FAN, Yan CHEN

“…In view of the problems of conventional finishing processing of cross deep micro-holes being limited by size, uneven processing, and poor quality, and combined with the characteristics of a stable removal function and strong adaptability of the abrasive jet, the magnetic micro-abrasive jet technology finishing processing method is proposed to improve the quality of the inner wall of cross deep micro-holes.MethodsAn independent magnetic abrasive jet device was used to carry out finishing tests on the cross deep micro-holes, and an electromagnetic device was used to generate a focusing magnetic force near the nozzle outlet. …”
