RABP: Delay/disruption tolerant network routing and buffer management algorithm based on weight by Hezhe Wang, Guangsheng Feng, Huiqiang Wang, Hongwu Lv, Renjie Zhou

“…This algorithm estimates the message delay and hop count to the destination node in order to construct a weight function of the delay and hop count. A node with the least weight value will be selected as the relay node, and the algorithm implements buffer management based on the weight of the message carried by the node, for efficiently utilizing the limited network resources. …”

Evaluation of the coupling coordination effect of Hefei Rail transit station area based on supply and demand matching. by Wangyang Gui, Mengnan Cheng, Tong Zhang, Yifei Guo, Bin Xu

“…This study evaluates the development status of these two aspects in each rail transit station area explores the possibility of combining the TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) model with the concept of the 15-minute city, and focus on the importance of TOD planning and its optimization strategies, this paper takes 44 rail transit station areas within the Second Ring Road of Hefei City as examples. Through multi-source data, a "supply-demand" coupling coordination degree model is constructed to evaluate the matching status between the needs of "people" and the supply of facilities and resources in the rail transit station area, and analyze the influence mechanism of the allocation of public service resources in different communities on the rail transit station area, thus constructing a comprehensive analysis framework and practical guidelines for modern urban planning. …”

Integrating isotopic niche metrics and gut microbiota assembly reveals coexistence mechanisms in subtropical riverine fish by Yaqiu Liu, Xinhui Li, Konstantinos Ar. Kormas, Chunni Kou, Huifeng Li, Yuefei Li, Jie Li

“…Furthermore, our findings indicated fish host trophic niche differentiation emerges as an essential adaptive mechanism facilitating interspecific coexistence by minimizing resource competition. Crucially, we identified the similarity of the intestinal microbial community structure is closely related to the degree of overlap of its nutritional ecological niche, indicating functional convergence between host trophic niches and their symbiotic microbiomes.These microbial adaptations facilitate nutritional optimization from varied trophic sources, mediate interspecific resource partitioning, and expand ecological opportunities within the fish community. …”
