An active detection of compromised nodes based on en-route trap in wireless sensor network by Jiang-Tao Wang, Zhi-Xiong Liu

“…With the development and wide use of wireless sensor network, security arises as an essential issue since sensors with restrict resources are deployed in wild areas in an unattended manner. Most of current en-route filtering schemes could filter false data effectively; however, the compromised nodes could take use of the filtering scheme to launch Fictitious False data Dropping attack, the detection of this attack is extremely difficult since the previous hop node is unable to distinguish whether the forwarding node dropt a false data report with incorrect Message Authentication Codes or a legitimate report. …”

Th17: A New Participant in Gut Dysfunction in Mice Infected with Trichinella spiralis by Yu Fu, Wenfeng Wang, Jingjing Tong, Qi Pan, Yanqing Long, Wei Qian, Xiaohua Hou

“…When jejunual smooth muscle strips were cultured with IL-17, contractions elicited by Ach were enhanced in a concentration-dependent manner. Our data suggest that Th17 cells are increased during acute infection with Trichinella spiralis and IL-17 may contribute to jejunal muscle contractility in mice.…”

Social criticism and tricky irony in Sanai's mind and language by Rouholah Hadi, Mitra Golchin, Mohammadreza Torki, Sima Rahmanifar

“…The current study was aimed to examine how Sanai's linguistic choices are used to reflect the status quo in the society and to demonstrate his thoughts, beliefs and concerns by evaluating the extent, manner, and use of irony in his poems. Based on the results presented herein, there are often a network of different ironies beside each other in the poetic language of the Sanai, by which his poems were turned into an integrated structure; consequently the general readers can be enjoyed from its appearance, and a particular reader from the discovery of hidden layers. …”

Political Tool of “Immoral Rituals” and Resilience of Buddhism in Chosŏn Korea by Nam-lin Hur

“…Confucians in Chosŏn Korea (1392–1910) employed the notion of “immoral rituals” as a tool to control Buddhist and shamanic rituals in a selective manner. In Confucian terms, immoral rituals specified those that were dedicated to “ghosts or deities who do not deserve worship”, and, in most cases, they referred to non-Confucian prayer rituals. …”

A high-valence bismuth(V) nanoplatform triggers cancer cell death and anti-tumor immune responses with exogenous excitation-free endogenous H2O2- and O2-independent ROS generation by Yizhang Tang, Xujiang Yu, Liangrui He, Meng Tang, Wenji Yue, Ruitong Chen, Jie Zhao, Qi Pan, Wanwan Li

“…Here we report a versatile oxidizing pentavalent bismuth(V) nanoplatform (NaBiVO3-PEG) can generate reactive oxygen species in an excitation-free and H2O2- and O2-independent manner. Upon exposure to the tumor microenvironment, NaBiVO3-PEG undergoes continuous H+-accelerated hydrolysis with •OH and 1O2 generation through electron transfer-mediated BiV-to-BiIII conversion and lattice oxygen transformation. …”

Function approximation method based on weights gradient descent in reinforcement learning by Xiaoyan QIN, Yuhan LIU, Yunlong XU, Bin LI

“…Function approximation has gained significant attention in reinforcement learning research as it effectively addresses problems with large-scale, continuous state, and action space.Although the function approximation algorithm based on gradient descent method is one of the most widely used methods in reinforcement learning, it requires careful tuning of the step size parameter as an inappropriate value can lead to slow convergence, unstable convergence, or even divergence.To address these issues, an improvement was made around the temporal-difference (TD) algorithm based on function approximation.The weight update method was enhanced using both the least squares method and gradient descent, resulting in the proposed weights gradient descent (WGD) method.The least squares were used to calculate the weights, combining the ideas of TD and gradient descent to find the error between the weights.And this error was used to directly update the weights.By this method, the weights were updated in a new manner, effectively reducing the consumption of computing resources by the algorithm enhancing other gradient descent-based function approximation algorithms.The WGD method is widely applicable in various gradient descent-based reinforcement learning algorithms.The results show that WGD method can adjust parameters within a wider space, effectively reducing the possibility of algorithm divergence.Additionally, it achieves better performance while improving the convergence speed of the algorithm.…”

Expressional Subpopulation of Cancers Determined by G64, a Co-regulated Module by Jae-Woong Min, Sun Shim Choi

“…Interestingly, the 22 cancers also expressed the G64 genes in a correlated manner, as observed previously in an LADC study. Considering that gene expression levels were continuous among different tumor samples, tumor subpopulations were investigated using extreme expressional ranges of G64—i.e., tumor subpopulation with the lowest 15% of G64 expression, tumor subpopulation with the highest 15% of G64 expression, and tumor subpopulation with intermediate expression. …”
