Hybridization Networks of mRNA and Branched RNA Hybrids

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is emerging as an attractive biopolymer for therapy and vaccination. To become suitable for vaccination, mRNA is usually converted to a biomaterial, using cationic peptides, polymers or lipids. An alternative form of converting mRNA into a material is demonstrated that uses branched oligoribonucleotide hybrids with the ability to hybridize with one or more regions of the mRNA sequence. Two such hybrids with hexamer arms and adamantane tetraol as branching element were prepared by solution-phase synthesis. When a rabies mRNA was treated with the branched hybrids at 1 M NaCl concentration, biomaterials formed that contained both of the nucleic acids. These results show that branched oligoribonucleotides are an alternative to the often toxic reagents commonly used to formulate mRNA for medical applications.     

Transmission line detection in aerial images: An instance segmentation approach based on multitask neural networks

Camera-based transmission line detection (TLD) is a fundamental and crucial task for automatically patrolling powerlines by aircraft. Motivated by instance segmentation, a TLD algorithm is proposed in this paper with a novel deep neural network, i.e., CableNet. The network structure is designed based on fully convolutional networks (FCNs) with two major improvements, considering the specific appearance characteristics of transmission lines. First, overlaying dilated convolutional layers and spatial convolutional layers are configured to better represent continuous long and thin cable shapes. Second, two branches of outputs are arranged to generate multidimensional feature maps for instance segmentation. Thus, cable pixels can be detected and assigned cable IDs simultaneously. Multiple experiments are conducted on aerial images, and the results show that the proposed algorithm obtains reliable detection performance and is superior to traditional TLD methods. Meanwhile, segmented pixels can be accurately identified as cable instances, contributing to line fitting for further applications.     

基于K-means和SOM的水下传感器数据采集方法

随着海洋资源勘探和海洋污染物监控工作的开展，水文数据的监测和采集等已经成为重要的研究方向。其中，水下无线传感器网络在水文数据采集过程中起着举足轻重的作用。本文研究的是水下无线传感器二维监测网络模型中，传感器节点数据采集的问题，其设计方法是通过自组织映射（Self-organizing mapping，SOM）对传感器节点进行路径最优化处理，结合优化的路径图形和K-means算法找到路径内部聚合点，利用聚合点和传感器的节点得到传感器通信半径内的数据采集点，最后通过SOM得到水下机器人（Autonomous underwater vehicle，AUV）到各个数据采集点采集数据的最优路径。经过实验验证，在水下1 200 m×1 750 m范围内布置52个传感器节点的情景下，数据采集点相比于传感器节点路径规划采用相同的采集顺序得到的路径优化了6.7%；对数据采集点重新进行自组织路径规划得到的路径比传感器结点路径的最优解提高了12.2%。增加传感器节点的数量，其结果也大致相同，因此采用该方法可以提高水下机器人采集数据的效率。     

High-roubustness keystroke recognition method based on acoustic spatial gradient

For the fluctuation of CFCC caused by environmental noise is the main reason for the low accuracy of keystroke detection,the spatial characteristics of adjacent between CFCC were studied,and the spatial gradient structure of CFCC based on points was established.On this basis,the effect of CFCC spatial gradient on keystroke content recognition and the selection of precise neighborhood points were studied on training and testing.Finally,a high-robustness keystroke recognition algorithm based on acoustic signals was constructed.Extensive experiments in different environments demonstrate that the proposed CFCC spatial gradient sound feature achieves great performance and the recognition accuracy is 96.15%.

基于CDIO工程教育的应用型人才培养 理论与实践研究 — —以红外多路遥控系统设计为例

The construction of specialty groups in higher vocational colleges is in full swing. However, due to the cognitive bias and the lack of construction paradigm for reference, the construction of specialty groups is still in the period of "crossing the river by feeling the stones" with different opinions. There are some problems in the construction of specialty groups, such as unclear under- standing of the concept of specialty groups, unreasonable logic of groups, unclear construction of groups, and nonstandard manage- ment of groups. This paper describes the specific content of the construction of modern information technology specialty group based on the Sydney Agreement, hoping to form a reference paradigm for the construction of specialty group of similar colleges and universities.     

Passive target detection and tracking from electromagnetic field measurements

This paper presents a novel approach to the localization of moving targets in a complex environment based on the measurement of the perturbations induced by the target presence on an independently‐generated time‐varying electromagnetic field. Field perturbations are measured via a set of sensors deployed over the domain of interest and used to detect and track a possible target by resorting to a particle Bernoulli filter (PBF). To comply with real‐time operation, the PBF works along with an artificial neural network (ANN) model of the environment trained offline via finite elements (FEs). The performance of the proposed algorithm is assessed via simulation experiments.     

Smart work packaging-enabled constraint-free path re-planning for tower crane in prefabricated products assembly process

Lack of constraint-free crane path planning is one of the critical concerns in the dynamic on-site assembly process of prefabrication housing production (PHP). For decades, researchers and practitioners have endeavored to improve both the efficiency and safety of crane path planning from either static environment or re-planning the path when colliding with constraints or periodically updating the path in the dynamic environment. However, there is a lack of approach related to the in-depth exploration of the nature of dynamic constraints so as to assist the crane operators in making adaptive path re-planning decisions by categorizing and prioritizing constraints. To address this issue, this study develops the smart work packaging (SWP)-enabled constraints optimization service. This service embraces the core characteristics of SWP, including adaptivity, sociability, and autonomy to achieve autonomous initial path planning, networked constraints classification, and adaptive decisions on path re-planning. This service is simulated and verified in the BIM environment, and it is found that SWP-enabled constraints optimization service can generate the constraint-free path when it is necessary.     

基于改进CGANs的入侵检测方法研究

近年来,机器学习算法在入侵检测系统(IDS)中的应用获得越来越多的关注。然而,传统的机器学习算法更多的依赖于已知样本,因此需要尽可能多的数据样本来对模型进行训练。遗憾地是,随着越来越多未知攻击的出现,且用于训练的攻击样本具有不平衡性,传统的机器学习模型会遇到瓶颈。文章提出一种将改进后的条件生成对抗网络(CGANs)与深度神经网络(DNN)相结合的入侵检测模型(CGANs-DNN),通过解决样本不平衡性问题来提高检测模型对未知攻击类型或只有少数攻击样本类型的检测率。深度神经网络(DNN)具有表征数据潜在特征的能力,而经过改进后的条件CGANs,能够通过学习已知攻击样本潜在数据特征分布,来根据指定类型生成新的攻击样本。此外,与生成对抗网络(GANs)和变分自编码器(VAE)等无监督生成模型相比,CGANsDNN经过改进后加入梯度惩罚项,在训练的稳定性上有了很大地提升。通过NSL-KDD数据集对模型进行评估,与传统算法相比CGANs-DNN不仅在整体准确率、召回率和误报率等方面有更好的性能,而且对未知攻击和只有少数样本的攻击类型具有较高的检测率。
