Research on key technologies of safety monitoring data sharing for railway engineering construction based on blockchain by Yuhong LIU, Liang YANG, Chunhui PIAO, Zhiguo ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problems that the monitoring data was easy to be tampered with in the process of railway engineering construction safety monitoring, and the authenticity of the data might be questioned during the accountability of accidents, a blockchain-based railway engineering construction safety monitoring data sharing model was proposed.The characteristics of automatic execution of smart contracts ensured the transparency of the process of monitoring data on the chain.In the PBFT algorithm, there was a problem that the Byzantine nodes and the normal nodes were selected as the master node with the same probability, a reputation-based practical Byzantine fault tolerance algorithm was proposed.Streaming data on the chain might cause network congestion, which simplified the consensus protocol and reduced the time complexity from O(n²) to O(n).A comparative experiment was conducted using Hyperledger Caliper to prove that the delay of the improved algorithm is lower than PBFT algorithm, and the throughput is higher than PBFT algorithm.A quantitative analysis of the possibility of attack and the probability of successful attack was carried out, and it was determined that the smart contract provides tamper-proof modification for the monitoring data on the chain.Comparative analysis proves that the proposed blockchain-based railway engineering construction safety monitoring data sharing model is good than other models in terms of consensus efficiency, TPS and block generation speed.…”

Proper 5'-3' cotranslational mRNA decay in yeast requires import of Xrn1 to the nucleus. by Antonio Jordán-Pla, Yujie Zhang, José García-Martínez, Shiladitya Chattopadhyay, Anabel Forte, Mordechai Choder, Vicent Pelechano, José E Pérez-Ortín

“…The budding yeast Xrn1 protein shuttles between the nucleus, where it stimulates transcription, and the cytoplasm, where it executes the major cytoplasmic mRNA decay. In the cytoplasm, apart from catalyzing 5'→3' decay onto non translated mRNAs, Xrn1 can follow the last translating ribosome to degrade the decapped mRNA template, a process known as "cotranslational mRNA decay". …”

Lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy based on Markov chain by Feng LI, Ya-li SI, Zhen CHEN, Li-min SHEN

“…A lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy (MOR) was proposed based on Markov chain.In the scheme,the execute process of network was divided into a plurality of equal time period,and the random encounter state of node in each time period was represented by activity degree.The state sequence of a plurality of continuous time period constitutes a discrete Markov chain.The activity degree of encounter node was estimated by Markov model to predict its state of future time period,which can enhance the accuracy of activity degree estimation.Then,the method of comprehensive evaluating forwarding utility was designed based on the activity degree of node and the average encounter interval.MOR used the utility of node for making a routing forwarding decision.Each node only maintained a state of last time period and a state transition probability matrix,and a vector recording the average encounter interval of nodes.So,the routing forwarding decision algorithm was simple and efficient,low time and space complexity.Furthermore,the method was proposed to set optimal number of the message copy based on multiple factors,which can effectively balance the utilization of network resources.Results show that compared with existing algorithms,MOR algorithm can effectively increase the delivery ratio and reduce the delivery delay,and lower routing overhead ratio.…”

Large-scale post-disaster user distributed coverage optimization based on multi-agent reinforcement learning by Wenjun XU, Silei WU, Fengyu WANG, Lan LIN, Guojun LI, Zhi ZHANG

“…In order to quickly restore emergency communication services for large-scale post-disaster users, a distributed intellicise coverage optimization architecture based on multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) was proposed, which could address the significant differences and dynamics of communication services caused by a large number of access users, and the difficulty of expansion caused by centralized algorithms.Specifically, a distributed k-sums clustering algorithm considering service differences of users was designed in the network characterization layer, which could make each unmanned aerial vehicle base station (UAV-BS) adjust the local networking natively and simply, and obtain states of cluster center for multi-agent RL.In the trajectory control layer, multi-agent soft actor critic (MASAC) with distributed-training-distributed-execution structure was designed for UAV-BS to control trajectory as intelligent nodes.Furthermore, ensemble learning and curriculum learning were integrated to improve the stability and convergence speed of training process.The simulation results show that the proposed distributed k-sums algorithm is superior to the k-means in terms of average load efficiency and clustering balance, and MASAC based trajectory control algorithm can effectively reduce communication interruptions and improve the spectrum efficiency, which outperforms the existing RL algorithms.…”

Implementation of finite state logic machines via the dynamics of atomic systems by Dawit Hiluf Hailu

“…In this context, we propose a novel approach in which the dynamics of a two-level atom is used to execute classical Boolean logic operations. Unlike traditional combinational logic circuits, where the output depends solely on the input, we suggest a finite-state machine-like computing model, where the output is influenced by both the input and the system’s initial state. …”
