Vision and language navigation (VLN), a human-guided navigation paradigm, emerges as a compelling solution to these challenges. Nevertheless, VLN’s practical implementation is constrained by limited task generalization capabilities, inadequate response to diverse linguistic commands, and insufficient consideration of sensor-induced noise in environmental perception.

摘要The rapid digitalization of urban infrastructure has made smart cities increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyber threats.In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity,the efficacy of Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)is increasingly measured by technical performance,operational usability,and adaptability.This study introduces and rigorously evaluates a Human-Computer Interaction(HCI)-Integrated IDS with the utilization of Convolutional Neural Network(CNN),CNN-Long Short Term Memory(LSTM),and Random Forest(RF)against both a Baseline Machine Learning(ML)and a Traditional IDS model,through an extensive experimental framework encompassing many performance metrics,including detection latency,accuracy,alert prioritization,classification errors,system throughput,usability,ROC-AUC,precision-recall,confusion matrix analysis,and statistical accuracy measures.Our findings consistently demonstrate the superiority of the HCI-Integrated approach utilizing three major datasets(CICIDS 2017,KDD Cup 1999,and UNSW-NB15).Experimental results indicate that the HCI-Integrated model outperforms its counterparts,achieving an AUC-ROC of 0.99,a precision of 0.93,and a recall of 0.96,while maintaining the lowest false positive rate(0.03)and the fastest detection time(~1.5 s).These findings validate the efficacy of incorporating HCI to enhance anomaly detection capabilities,improve responsiveness,and reduce alert fatigue in critical smart city applications.It achieves markedly lower detection times,higher accuracy across all threat categories,reduced false positive and false negative rates,and enhanced system throughput under concurrent load conditions.The HCIIntegrated IDS excels in alert contextualization and prioritization,offering more actionable insights while minimizing analyst fatigue.Usability feedback underscores increased analyst confidence and operational clarity,reinforcing the importance of user-centered design.These results collectively position the HCI-Integrated IDS as a highly effective,scalable,and human-aligned solution for modern threat detection environments.

摘要This study presents a computational modeling framework for efficient and secure computation offloading in Internet of Things(IoT)-enabled smart contract systems.The integration of IoT,edge computing,and blockchain introduces significant challenges,including limited device capacity,high verification cost,and scalability constraints.Existing blockchain verification approaches depend on computationally intensive cryptographic operations that are inefficient for resource-constrained IoT devices,resulting in increased latency,energy consumption,and transaction costs.To address these issues,this study proposes the Zero-Knowledge Fuzzy Logic Offloading and Rollup(Z-FLOR)framework,an adaptive and energy-efficient model designed to enable secure and verifiable computation in IoT-based smart contract systems.The proposed framework integrates three key components.First,a zero-knowledge proof-based verification model using the Grothl6 zkSNARK module generates compact and privacy-preserving proofs that enable fast and reliable verification.Second,a Fuzzy Logic-Driven Energy-Aware Offloading module dynamically allocates computational tasks between IoT devices,edge servers,and cloud platforms based on energy availability,network delay,and device reliability.Third,an Optimistic Rollup Verification module aggregates proofs off-chain and submits them in batches to reduce gas costs and enhance scalability.Extensive simulation and experimental evaluation across diverse IoT scenarios demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed computational framework.Results indicate that Z-FLOR achieves 99.7%verification accuracy and 98.9%proof compression efficiency,while gas cost analysis indicates gas cost reductions in the range of 80%-98%.Z-FLOR additionally achieves a 44.0%reduction in latency,5l.0%savings in gas costs,and 38.0%energy consumption compared to baseline approaches.These findings highlight the capability of the proposed approach to serve as a scalable and energy-efficient modeling solution for secure IoT smart contract execution in decentralized environments.

摘要The Smart Education of China platform for primary and secondary education(SECPSE)serves as a crucial support for achieving the digital transformation of classroom teaching.Focusing on the practical efficacy of this platform in empowering classroom teaching,this study employs a mixed-methods approach.It conducts a questionnaire survey involving 69,304 primary and secondary school teachers nationwide,supplemented by an in-depth analysis of teaching behaviors and epistemic networks of 20 typical cases,as well as a grounded theory analysis of 845 demand texts.This comprehensive investigation systematically explores the platform's application status,typical models,and optimization pathways.The findings reveal that,firstly,teachers exhibit relatively high overall satisfaction with the platform,and its application has preliminarily formed a pattern covering the entire teaching process.Secondly,the application of the SECPSE in classroom teaching primarily manifests in three typical models.The tool-enabled model deeply embeds technology into the teaching process through on-demand utilization of platform resources and tools.The dual-teacher model leverages expert teacher video lectures from the platform to implement collaborative teaching between online experts and offline teachers,effectively expanding the coverage of high-quality resources.The self-directed inquiry model relies on the platform's learning resources,task-pushing capabilities,and learning analytics to promote students'autonomous knowledge construction.Thirdly,based on the grounded theory,a model encompassing content,tool,service,and mechanism needs is constructed.Accordingly,targeted optimization strategies are proposed.These include optimizing content supply to build a precise resource ecosystem,upgrading tool functionalities to enhance teaching adaptability,improving service support to establish a full-coverage guarantee system,and innovating mechanism development to stimulate momentum for sustained application.The theoretical model and methodological strategies constructed in this study may provide theoretical support and practical references for the promotion and application of the SECPSE.

摘要Global agriculture confronts an escalating paradox:securing more food for a growing population amid increasingly scarce and erratic water resources.At the physiological core of this challenge lie stomata—microscopic pores that control CO uptake for photosynthesis while mitigating water loss through transpiration.Improving crop water-use efficiency(WuE),the ratio of carbon fixed per unit water transpired,has been a long-sought goal,yet progress remains stubbornly incremental.

摘要Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)have become integral components in smart city infrastructures,supporting applications such as emergency response,surveillance,and data collection.However,the high mobility and dynamic topology of Flying Ad Hoc Networks(FANETs)present significant challenges for maintaining reliable,low-latency communication.Conventional geographic routing protocols often struggle in situations where link quality varies and mobility patterns are unpredictable.To overcome these limitations,this paper proposes an improved routing protocol based on reinforcement learning.This new approach integrates Q-learning with mechanisms that are both link-aware and mobility-aware.The proposed method optimizes the selection of relay nodes by using an adaptive reward function that takes into account energy consumption,delay,and link quality.Additionally,a Kalman filter is integrated to predict UAV mobility,improving the stability of communication links under dynamic network conditions.Simulation experiments were conducted using realistic scenarios,varying the number of UAVs to assess scalability.An analysis was conducted on key performance metrics,including the packet delivery ratio,end-to-end delay,and total energy consumption.The results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves the packet delivery ratio by 12%–15%and reduces delay by up to 25.5%when compared to conventional GEO and QGEO protocols.However,this improvement comes at the cost of higher energy consumption due to additional computations and control overhead.Despite this trade-off,the proposed solution ensures reliable and efficient communication,making it well-suited for large-scale UAV networks operating in complex urban environments.
