Evaluation of the electrical integrity of E-textiles subjected to environmental conditions

E-textiles contain electrically conductive elements and electronic devices that are integrated in textile substrate. Wearable e-textiles are expected to perform like textiles in terms of breathability, conformability, and comfort despite the presence of the electrically conductive elements and electronics. E-textiles are also expected to provide reliable data and signal processing like electronic devices while they are subjected to normal wear and tear under different environmental conditions. The goal of this research was to investigate the electrical integrity of e-textiles while they are subjected to environmental conditions. Different woven samples of electronic-improved outer tactical vest with two narrow conductive traces woven in the warp direction were subjected to range of temperatures and humidity, including extreme conditions. The effects of formation parameters (e-yarn type, number of e-yarns/trace, and weldability), temperature, and humidity on the integrity of the e-textiles were studied. It was found that resistance of networks was affected by changes in air temperature and humidity and the quality of the weld had the greatest impact on electrical integrity of the conductive network. This impact was pronounced in more extreme environmental conditions, which revealed that there was a strong interaction between the weldability, temperature, and humidity.

2018年中国4省脱粒小麦中9种真菌毒素污染情况调查

目的 调查2018年湖北、安徽、江苏和河北4省脱粒小麦中5种镰刀菌毒素和4种黄曲霉毒素（aflatoxins，AFs）的污染情况。方法 从4省采集2018年5~6月收获的脱粒小麦371份，经乙腈-水（84:16，V:V）提取、Mycosep 226多功能净化柱净化后，采用高效液相色谱串联质谱同时测定样品中脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇（deoxynivalenol，DON）、3-乙酰基-DON（3-acetyl-DON，3-Ac-DON）、15-乙酰基-DON（15-acetyl-DON，15-Ac-DON）、雪腐镰刀菌烯醇（nivalenol，NIV）、玉米赤霉烯酮（zearalenone，ZEN）和4种AF, 共9种毒素的含量。 结果 4省脱粒小麦受多种镰刀菌毒素, 尤其是DON的污染较为严重，而AF污染相对较轻。DON的检出率最高,为90.3%，阳性样品中DON平均污染水平为2706.3 μg/kg，45.3%样品DON的含量超过国家限量标准1000 μg/kg；4种AF的检出率和平均污染水平均较低，其中AFB1和AFB2的检出率最高，均为3.2%，2份样品AFB1含量超过国家限量标准5 μg/kg，仅1份样品检出AFG2，所有样品均未检出AFG1。从地区来看，湖北省脱粒小麦中各毒素污染最严重，尤其是DON、其检出率和平均污染水平分别为100%和6314.9 μg/kg；江苏省样品中ZEN的平均污染水平为1971.2 μg/kg，远高于其它省份。Spearman相关性分析表明，5种镰刀菌毒素的污染具有显著相关性，DON与已检出的3种AF及3种AF间的污染相关性均较弱或无显著相关性。 结论 4省脱粒小麦受5种镰刀菌毒素的污染较为严重且具有显著相关性。污染程度为湖北>安徽>江苏>河北。因此，有必要对4省脱粒小麦中多种毒素的协同污染情况进行持续监测。     

An improved machine learning technique based on downsized KPCA for Alzheimer's disease classification

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is a very serious illness that cannot be cured, but the early diagnosis allows precautionary measures to be taken. The current used methods to detect Alzheimer's disease are based on tests of cognitive impairment, which does not provide an exact diagnosis before the patient passes a moderate stage of AD. In this article, a novel classifier of brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) based on the new downsized kernel principal component analysis (DKPCA) and multiclass support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. The suggested scheme classifies AD MRIs. First, a multiobjective optimization technique is used to determine the optimal parameter of the kernel function in order to ensure good classification results and to minimize the number of retained principle components simultaneously. The optimal parameter is used to build the optimized DKPCA model. Second, DKPCA is applied to normalized features. Downsized features are then fed to the classifier to output the prediction. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, DKPCA was tested using synthetic data to demonstrate its efficiency on dimensionality reduction, then the DKPCA based technique was tested on the OASIS MRI database and the results were satisfactory compared to conventional approaches.     

基于SPSO优化Multiple Kernel-TWSVM的滚动轴承故障诊断

双子支持向量机(twin support vector machine,简称TWSVM)的核函数选择对其分类性能有着重要影响,TWSVM其核函数一般是局部核函数或者全局核函数,这两种核函数的泛化能力和分类性能不能兼顾。笔者利用综合加权的高斯局部核函数和多项式全局核函数方法组成双核函数来改进TWSVM以提高其泛化能力和分类性能,并采用简化粒子群优化(simple particle swarm optimization,简称SPSO)方法来对权值和参数进行优化,提出了SPSO优化Multiple Kernel-TWSVM模型,将该模型应用到滚动轴承故障诊断模式识别中。实验结果表明,双核TWSVM比单核TWSVM和反向传播(back propagation,简称BP)神经网络具有更高的分类准确率。     

Hybridizing adaptive large neighborhood search with kernel search: a new solution approach for the nurse routing problem with incompatible services and minimum demand

The average age of the population has grown steadily in recent decades along with the number of people suffering from chronic diseases and asking for treatments. Hospital care is expensive and often unsafe, especially for older individuals. This is particularly true during pandemics as the recent SARS-CoV-2. Hospitalization at home has become a valuable alternative to face efficiently a huge increase in treatment requests while guaranteeing a high quality of service and lower risk to fragile patients. This new model of care requires the redefinition of health services organization and the optimization of scarce resources (e.g., available nurses). In this paper, we study a Nurse Routing Problem that tries to find a good balance between hospital costs reduction and the well-being of patients, also considering realistic operational restrictions like maximum working times for the nurses and possible incompatibilities between services jointly provided to the same patient. We first propose a Mixed Integer Linear Programming formulation for the problem and use some valid inequalities to strengthen it. A simple branch-and-cut algorithm is proposed and validated to derive ground benchmarks. In addition, to efficiently solve the problem, we develop an Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search hybridized with a Kernel Search and validate its performance over a large set of different realistic working scenarios. Computational tests show how our matheuristic approach manages to find good solutions in a reasonable amount of time even in the most difficult settings. Finally, some interesting managerial insights are discussed through an economic analysis of the operating context.     

基于哈希链的软件定义网络路径安全

针对软件定义网络中，控制器无法保证下发的网络策略能够在转发设备上得到正确执行的安全问题，提出一种新的转发路径监控安全方案。首先以控制器的全局视图能力为基础，设计了基于OpenFlow协议的路径凭据交互处理机制；然后采用哈希链和消息验证码作为生成和处理转发路径凭据信息的关键技术；最后在此基础上，对Ryu控制器和Open vSwitch开源交换机进行深度优化，添加相应处理流程，建立轻量级的路径安全机制。测试结果表明，该机制能够有效保证数据转发路径安全，吞吐量消耗比SDN数据层可信转发方案（SDNsec）降低20%以上，更适用于路径复杂的网络环境，但时延和CPU使用率的浮动超过15%，有待进一步优化。     

基于加权统计局部核主元分析的非线性化工过程微小故障诊断方法

传统统计局部核主元分析（statistical local kernel principal component analysis, SLKPCA）在构造改进残差时未考虑样本的差异性，使得故障样本信息易于被其他样本所掩盖，针对该问题，提出一种基于加权统计局部核主元分析（weighted statistical local kernel principal component analysis, WSLKPCA）的非线性化工过程微小故障诊断方法。该方法首先利用KPCA获取过程的得分向量和特征值并构建初始残差。然后设计了一种基于测试样本与训练样本之间距离的加权策略构建加权改进残差，对含有较强微小故障信息的样本赋予较大权值，以增强故障样本的影响。最后，采用基于测量变量与监控统计量之间的加权互信息构建贡献图以识别故障源变量。在连续搅拌反应釜和田纳西伊斯曼（Tennessee Eastman, TE）化工过程上的仿真结果表明,所提方法具有良好的微小故障检测与识别性能。     

高维空间可分性指标在转子诊断系统优化中的应用

二叉树相关向量机系统中正负类样本的选取往往通过方差进行可分性度量。常用的高斯核函数是在高维空间中完成分类，由于高维空间中数据点存在度量集中现象，欧氏距离往往并不能较好地度量样本点的可分性。分数范数计算出的高维空间距离差异性更大，故构造了一种基于分数范数的样本点距离度量指标。基于该指标优化各层分类器样本选取，通过实验1验证了基于高维可分性指标优化后的系统相较于欧氏距离优化后的系统在分类精度上有了较为显著的提高；实验2表明优化后的系统与智能诊断算法相比，在分类精度和耗时方面也具有优势。
