In this study, we performed independent component analysis of blood oxygenation signals from 14 heroin users and 13 matched normal controls in the resting state through functional MRI scans. Results showed that the default mode network was significantly activated in the prefrontal lobe, posterior cingulated cortex and hippocampus of heroin users, and an enhanced activation signal was observed in the right inferior parietal Iobule (P 〈 0.05, corrected for false discovery rate). Experimental findings indicate that the default mode network is altered in heroin users.展开更多

It has been considered as a potential technological component for the next generation of communication. In this paper, we investigate a novel framework to distribute video files from some other proximity devices through users' media cloud assisted D2 D communication. The main contributions of this work lie in: 1) Providing an efficient algorithm Media Cloud Cluster Selecting Scheme(MCCSS) to achieve the reasonable cluster; 2) Distributing the optimum updating files to the cluster heads, in order to minimize the expected D2 D communication transmission hop for files; 3) Proposing a minimum the hop method, which can ensure the user obtain required file as soon as possible. Extensive simulation results have demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed scheme.展开更多

The correlation of Tn lymphocyte cytokine and hepatitis virus infection was examined. A. study population of 406 IVDU consisted of 383 males and 23 females. HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBc, anti-HCV, HDV-Ag and anti-HGV were assayed by ELISA. The levels of cytokines of TH1 and TH2 were measured by ELISA. The similar indices taken from 102 healthy persons served as controls. The infection rate of each virus among IVDU was 36.45% for HBV, 69. 7 % for HCV, 2.22 % for HDV, and 1.97 % for HGV, respectively. The co-infection rate of HBV and HCV was detected in 113 of 406 (27. 83 %). In contrast, among controls, the infection rate was 17.65% for HBV and 0% for the other hepatitis viruses. The levels of PHA-induced cytokines (IFN-γ and IL-4) and the level of serum IL-2 were obviously decreased in IVDU. On the other hand, the level of serum IL-4 was increased. The IFN-γ level was continuously decreased when the IVDU was infected with HBV/HCV. In conclusion, HBV and HCV infection were common in this population of IVDU and they had led to a high incidence of impaired TH 1 cytokine levels.展开更多

Thus, it remains difficult to accurately describe the public-opinion propagation rules of social networks. In order to study the rules of public opinion spread on dynamic social networks, by analyzing the activity of social-network users and the regulatory role of relevant departments in the spread of public opinion, concepts of additional user and offline rates are introduced, and the direct immune-susceptible, contacted, infected, and refractory (DI-SCIR) public-opinion propagation model based on real-time online users is established. The interventional force of relevant departments, credibility of real information, and time of intervention are considered, and a public-opinion propagation control strategy based on direct immunity is proposed. The equilibrium point and the basic reproduction number of the model are theoretically analyzed to obtain boundary conditions for public-opinion propagation. Simulation results show that the new model can accurately reflect the propagation rules of public opinion. When the basic reproduction number is less than 1, public opinion will eventually disappear in the network. Social factors can significantly influence the time and scope of public opinion spread on social networks. By controlling social factors, relevant departments can analyze the rules of public opinion spread on social networks to suppress the propagate of negative public opinion and provide a powerful tool to ensure security and stability of society.展开更多

摘要This paper proposes a Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)algorithm for user scheduling in Millimeter Wave(mmWave)networks,which utilizes Channel Knowledge Map(CKM)for knowledge transfer to enhance the learning of scheduling strategies.The user scheduling and link configuration problems are modeled as a multiqueue system.Each queue represents the data demand of an individual user.This setup allows the base station to make dynamic scheduling decisions based on changing environmental conditions.This approach facilitates efficient management of user-specific requirements while addressing the challenges posed by dynamic network environments.Our model incorporates relay selection,codebook selection,and beam tracking to support flexible and efficient resource allocation.In contrast to traditional channel model-based optimization,we design algorithms for scheduling policy pre-training using CKMs,which provide information about the channel between specific pairs of locations.Specifically,we assume that the CKM is fully available to allow the complex scheduling network to have a better starting point or follow a more favorable gradient direction through knowledge migration.This integration of CKM with knowledge transfer significantly accelerates DRL convergence and enhances performance stability.Simulation results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach.Relative to the baseline methods,integrating CKM with knowledge transfer accelerated the convergence of the DRL algorithm by approximately 20%,maintained the delay within 30 milliseconds,and reduced the average queue length by nearly 30%.

摘要The advent of sixth-generation(6G)networks introduces unprecedented challenges in achieving seamless connectivity,ultra-low latency,and efficient resource management in highly dynamic environments.Although fifth-generation(5G)networks transformed mobile broadband and machine-type communications at massive scales,their properties of scaling,interference management,and latency remain a limitation in dense high mobility settings.To overcome these limitations,artificial intelligence(AI)and unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)have emerged as potential solutions to develop versatile,dynamic,and energy-efficient communication systems.The study proposes an AI-based UAV architecture that utilizes cooperative reinforcement learning(CoRL)to manage an autonomous network.The UAVs collaborate by sharing local observations and real-time state exchanges to optimize user connectivity,movement directions,allocate power,and resource distribution.Unlike conventional centralized or autonomous methods,CoRL involves joint state sharing and conflict-sensitive reward shaping,which ensures fair coverage,less interference,and enhanced adaptability in a dynamic urban environment.Simulations conducted in smart city scenarios with 10 UAVs and 50 ground users demonstrate that the proposed CoRL-based UAV system increases user coverage by up to 10%,achieves convergence 40%faster,and reduces latency and energy consumption by 30%compared with centralized and decentralized baselines.Furthermore,the distributed nature of the algorithm ensures scalability and flexibility,making it well-suited for future large-scale 6G deployments.The results highlighted that AI-enabled UAV systems enhance connectivity,support ultra-reliable low-latency communications(URLLC),and improve 6G network efficiency.Future work will extend the framework with adaptive modulation,beamforming-aware positioning,and real-world testbed deployment.

摘要Identifying influential users in social networks is of great significance in areas such as public opinion monitoring and commercial promotion.Existing identification methods based on Graph Neural Networks(GNNs)often lead to yield inaccurate features of influential users due to neighborhood aggregation,and require a large substantial amount of labeled data for training,making them difficult and challenging to apply in practice.To address this issue,we propose a semi-supervised contrastive learning method for identifying influential users.First,the proposed method constructs positive and negative samples for contrastive learning based on multiple node centrality metrics related to influence;then,contrastive learning is employed to guide the encoder to generate various influence-related features for users;finally,with only a small amount of labeled data,an attention-based user classifier is trained to accurately identify influential users.Experiments conducted on three public social network datasets demonstrate that the proposed method,using only 20%of the labeled data as the training set,achieves F1 values that are 5.9%,5.8%,and 8.7%higher than those unsupervised EVC method,and it matches the performance of GNN-based methods such as DeepInf,InfGCN and OlapGN,which require 80%of labeled data as the training set.
摘要A recommender system is a tool designed to suggest relevant items to users based on their preferences and behaviors.Collaborative filtering,a popular technique within recommender systems,predicts user interests by analyzing patterns in interactions and similarities between users,leveraging past behavior data to make personalized recommendations.Despite its popularity,collaborative filtering faces notable challenges,and one of them is the issue of grey-sheep users who have unusual tastes in the system.Surprisingly,existing research has not extensively explored outlier detection techniques to address the grey-sheep problem.To fill this research gap,this study conducts a comprehensive comparison of 12 outlier detectionmethods(such as LOF,ABOD,HBOS,etc.)and introduces innovative user representations aimed at improving the identification of outliers within recommender systems.More specifically,we proposed and examined three types of user representations:1)the distribution statistics of user-user similarities,where similarities were calculated based on users’rating vectors;2)the distribution statistics of user-user similarities,but with similarities derived from users represented by latent factors;and 3)latent-factor vector representations.Our experiments on the Movie Lens and Yahoo!Movie datasets demonstrate that user representations based on latent-factor vectors consistently facilitate the identification of more grey-sheep users when applying outlier detection methods.

摘要This paper investigates a downlink millimeter-Wave(mmWave)communication system equipped with multiple cooperative Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces(IRSs),aiming to extend mmWave signal coverage and maximize system throughput.To fully exploit the potential of IRSs within a user-centric framework,this study delves into the joint optimization problem of user multiple association,transmit beamforming,and cooperative passive beamforming.Meanwhile,the impact of IRS locations on user association is analyzed.Given the non-convexity and complexity of the joint optimization problem,a low-complexity optimization algorithm is designed.The algorithm integrates iterative optimization,Lagrangian dual decomposition,and Fractional Programming(FP)techniques.Specifically,the user association problem is optimized using the Lagrangian dual decomposition method,while the joint beamforming is solved via the FP method.Simulation results demonstrate that,compared to traditional methods,the proposed algorithm significantly improves the system sum rate,validating its effectiveness and superiority.

摘要The ubiquitous adoption of mobile devices as essential platforms for sensitive data transmission has heightened the demand for secure client-server communication.Although various authentication and key agreement protocols have been developed,current approaches are constrained by homogeneous cryptosystem frameworks,namely public key infrastructure(PKI),identity-based cryptography(IBC),or certificateless cryptography(CLC),each presenting limitations in client-server architectures.Specifically,PKI incurs certificate management overhead,IBC introduces key escrow risks,and CLC encounters cross-system interoperability challenges.To overcome these shortcomings,this study introduces a heterogeneous signcryption-based authentication and key agreement protocol that synergistically integrates IBC for client operations(eliminating PKI’s certificate dependency)with CLC for server implementation(mitigating IBC’s key escrow issue while preserving efficiency).Rigorous security analysis under the mBR(modified Bellare-Rogaway)model confirms the protocol’s resistance to adaptive chosen-ciphertext attacks.Quantitative comparisons demonstrate that the proposed protocol achieves 10.08%–71.34%lower communication overhead than existing schemes across multiple security levels(80-,112-,and 128-bit)compared to existing protocols.

摘要Accurate purchase prediction in e-commerce critically depends on the quality of behavioral features.This paper proposes a layered and interpretable feature engineering framework that organizes user signals into three layers:Basic,Conversion&Stability(efficiency and volatility across actions),and Advanced Interactions&Activity(crossbehavior synergies and intensity).Using real Taobao(Alibaba’s primary e-commerce platform)logs(57,976 records for 10,203 users;25 November–03 December 2017),we conducted a hierarchical,layer-wise evaluation that holds data splits and hyperparameters fixed while varying only the feature set to quantify each layer’s marginal contribution.Across logistic regression(LR),decision tree,random forest,XGBoost,and CatBoost models with stratified 5-fold cross-validation,the performance improvedmonotonically fromBasic to Conversion&Stability to Advanced features.With LR,F1 increased from 0.613(Basic)to 0.962(Advanced);boosted models achieved high discrimination(0.995 AUC Score)and an F1 score up to 0.983.Calibration and precision–recall analyses indicated strong ranking quality and acknowledged potential dataset and period biases given the short(9-day)window.By making feature contributions measurable and reproducible,the framework complements model-centric advances and offers a transparent blueprint for production-grade behavioralmodeling.The code and processed artifacts are publicly available,and future work will extend the validation to longer,seasonal datasets and hybrid approaches that combine automated feature learning with domain-driven design.
摘要A small proportion of people account for a significant share of prescription drug expenditures.These individuals,commonly referred to as high-cost users(HCUs),are a key focus of initiatives designed to control expenditures.This study aimed to describe the distribution of prescription drug expenditures and investigate the determinants of HCUs at the Mutual Health Insurance Company for Civil Servants of Côte d’Ivoire(Mutuelle Générale des Fonctionnaires et Agents de l’État de Côte d’Ivoire(MUGEFCI)).We conducted a retrospective analysis using MUGEFCI data.Beneficiaries who received reimbursement for at least one medication between January 1,2014,and December 31,2018 were included.HCUs were defined as individuals whose annual drug expenditure exceeded the 95th percentile.Generalized estimating equations(GEEs)were used to analyse the determinants.The median±interquartile range(IQR)expenditure for HCUs varied from 210,145±47,899 to 269,617.5±50,085 French speaking West African countries currency(XOF).HCUs accounted for between 30.84%and 32.31%of total medicine expenditures.Compared with people aged 15-25,those aged 55-65,65-75,and over 75 years were 1.47(odds ratio(OR)=1.47[1.41-1.54],P<0.001),1.73(OR=1.73[1.64-1.82],P<0.001),and 1.5(OR=1.5[1.38-1.63],P<0.001)times more likely to be HCUs,respectively.Those taking cardiovascular and anticancer medicines were 18.59(OR=18.59[18.55-19.23],P<0.001)and 78.37(OR=78.17[68.85-89.21],P<0.001)times more likely to be HCUs,respectively.Beneficiaries consulting a level 3 facility were 2.73(OR=2.73[2.67-2.79],P<0.001)times more likely to be HCUs.Older age,use of cardiovascular or anticancer drugs,and consultation with a level 3 facility were the major determinants of HCUs.It is necessary to promote rational medicine use and enhance prevention of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
摘要Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the digital economy,internet dispatching platforms such as food delivery and ride-hailing services have become key urban infrastructure.However,they generally face the core contradiction between dynamic demand fluctuations and rigid service capacity constraints.This paper decomposes the dispatching system into a two-stage closed-loop structure of“waiting and service”.Combining queuing theory principles,AI empowerment characteristics,and introducing user loss aversion psychology and reference utility features,a configuration model covering basic capacity and safety capacity is constructed to explore optimal capacity strategies under profit-oriented and welfare-oriented orientations.Numerical examples verify the model’s effectiveness.Results show that the optimal capacity consists of basic capacity and safety capacity,with the two-stage safety capacity maintaining a specific matching ratio.Moreover,AI empowerment reduces the basic capacity demand in the waiting stage but requires simultaneous optimization of service stage capacity to avoid new bottlenecks.Consequently,platform positioning and user behavior characteristics significantly affect capacity configuration efficiency.The research conclusions provide theoretical support and practical guidance for dispatching platforms to achieve refined operations and balance efficiency with user experience.

摘要Due to the increase in the number of smart meter devices,a power grid generates a large amount of data.Analyzing the data can help in understanding the users’electricity consumption behavior and demands;thus,enabling better service to be provided to them.Performing power load profile clustering is the basis for mining the users’electricity consumption behavior.By examining the complexity,randomness,and uncertainty of the users’electricity consumption behavior,this paper proposes an ensemble clustering method to analyze this behavior.First,principle component analysis(PCA)is used to reduce the dimensions of the data.Subsequently,the single clustering method is used,and the majority is selected for integrated clustering.As a result,the users’electricity consumption behavior is classified into different modes,and their characteristics are analyzed in detail.This paper examines the electricity power data of 19 real users in China for simulation purposes.This manuscript provides a thorough analysis along with suggestions for the users’weekly electricity consumption behavior.The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

摘要The default mode network is associated with senior cognitive functions in humans. In this study, we performed independent component analysis of blood oxygenation signals from 14 heroin users and 13 matched normal controls in the resting state through functional MRI scans. Results showed that the default mode network was significantly activated in the prefrontal lobe, posterior cingulated cortex and hippocampus of heroin users, and an enhanced activation signal was observed in the right inferior parietal Iobule (P 〈 0.05, corrected for false discovery rate). Experimental findings indicate that the default mode network is altered in heroin users.

摘要In cellular networks, the proximity devices may share files directly without going through the e NBs, which is called Device-to-Device communications(D2D). It has been considered as a potential technological component for the next generation of communication. In this paper, we investigate a novel framework to distribute video files from some other proximity devices through users' media cloud assisted D2 D communication. The main contributions of this work lie in: 1) Providing an efficient algorithm Media Cloud Cluster Selecting Scheme(MCCSS) to achieve the reasonable cluster; 2) Distributing the optimum updating files to the cluster heads, in order to minimize the expected D2 D communication transmission hop for files; 3) Proposing a minimum the hop method, which can ensure the user obtain required file as soon as possible. Extensive simulation results have demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed scheme.

摘要To investigate the features of various hepatitis virus infection in intravenous drug users (IVDU), we conducted an epidemiological survey of hepatitis viruses including hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis D virus (HDV) and hepatitis G virus (HGV) in IVDU. The correlation of Tn lymphocyte cytokine and hepatitis virus infection was examined. A. study population of 406 IVDU consisted of 383 males and 23 females. HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBc, anti-HCV, HDV-Ag and anti-HGV were assayed by ELISA. The levels of cytokines of TH1 and TH2 were measured by ELISA. The similar indices taken from 102 healthy persons served as controls. The infection rate of each virus among IVDU was 36.45% for HBV, 69. 7 % for HCV, 2.22 % for HDV, and 1.97 % for HGV, respectively. The co-infection rate of HBV and HCV was detected in 113 of 406 (27. 83 %). In contrast, among controls, the infection rate was 17.65% for HBV and 0% for the other hepatitis viruses. The levels of PHA-induced cytokines (IFN-γ and IL-4) and the level of serum IL-2 were obviously decreased in IVDU. On the other hand, the level of serum IL-4 was increased. The IFN-γ level was continuously decreased when the IVDU was infected with HBV/HCV. In conclusion, HBV and HCV infection were common in this population of IVDU and they had led to a high incidence of impaired TH 1 cytokine levels.

摘要Current public-opinion propagation research usually focused on closed network topologies without considering the fluctuation of the number of network users or the impact of social factors on propagation. Thus, it remains difficult to accurately describe the public-opinion propagation rules of social networks. In order to study the rules of public opinion spread on dynamic social networks, by analyzing the activity of social-network users and the regulatory role of relevant departments in the spread of public opinion, concepts of additional user and offline rates are introduced, and the direct immune-susceptible, contacted, infected, and refractory (DI-SCIR) public-opinion propagation model based on real-time online users is established. The interventional force of relevant departments, credibility of real information, and time of intervention are considered, and a public-opinion propagation control strategy based on direct immunity is proposed. The equilibrium point and the basic reproduction number of the model are theoretically analyzed to obtain boundary conditions for public-opinion propagation. Simulation results show that the new model can accurately reflect the propagation rules of public opinion. When the basic reproduction number is less than 1, public opinion will eventually disappear in the network. Social factors can significantly influence the time and scope of public opinion spread on social networks. By controlling social factors, relevant departments can analyze the rules of public opinion spread on social networks to suppress the propagate of negative public opinion and provide a powerful tool to ensure security and stability of society.
