Different Trajectories of Functional Connectivity Captured with Gamma-Event Coupling and Broadband Measures of Electroencephalographic in the Rat Fluid Percussion Injury Model by Rachel Fox, Cesar Santana-Gomez, Mohamad Shamas, Aarja Pavade, Richard Staba, Neil G. Harris

“…Functional connectivity (FC) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is affected by an altered excitatory-inhibitory balance due to neuronal dysfunction, and the mechanistic changes observed could be reflected differently by contrasting methods. Local gamma event coupling FC (GEC-FC) is believed to represent multiunit fluctuations due to inhibitory dysfunction, and we hypothesized that FC derived from widespread, broadband amplitude signal (BBA-FC) would be different, reflecting broader mechanisms of functional disconnection. …”

Inter-Satellite Handover Method Based Multi-Objective Optimization in Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Network by Renpeng LIU, Bo HU, Hequn LI

“…The high-speed motion of low-earth orbit communication satellites results in a highly dynamic network topology, and the spatio-temporal distribution of resources in the satellite-terrestrial integrated network is non-uniform.When multiple users and services switch between satellites, a large number of handover requests are triggered, leading to intensified network resource competition.As a result, the limited satellite resources cannot meet all the handover requests, leading to a significant decrease in handover success rate.In view of the above problem, the multi-objective optimization based satellite handover method was proposed.It introduced the satellite coverage spatio-temporal graph and transforms the dynamic continuous topology into static discrete snapshots, accurately depicted the connections between satellite nodes and users at different times and locations.The multi-objective optimization model was established for satellite handover decisions, and anadaptive accelerated multi-objective evolutionary algorithm(AAMOEA) was proposed to optimized user data rate and network load simultaneously, ensured handover success rate and enhanced network service capability.It built a STIN communication simulation environment and tested the multi user handover performance in a multi satellite overlapping coverage scenario.The results demonstrated that the multi-objective optimization-based satellite handover method achieved an average handover success rate improvement of over 20% compared to benchmark algorithms.…”

Detection method of slight bruises of apples based on hyperspectral imaging and RELIEF-extreme learning machine by ZHANG Meng, LI Guanghui

“…The results showed that the recognition accuracy of ELM model for the test set based on the full wavebands was 94.44%, and the accuracy of the Re-ELM model based on the characteristic wavebands was 96.67%, and the accuracy of the Re-SVM and Re-K mean models for the characteristic wavebands were 92.22% and 91.67%, respectively, which demonstrated that the Re-ELM was a more effective method for the bruise apple classification. Subsequently, an apple damage detection algorithm based on the characteristic wavebands and image processing was proposed, which performed an independent component algorithm (ICA) transformation of the characteristic wavebands, and selected the third component image of the ICA transformation, and used adaptive threshold segmentation to obtain the bruise area on apples. …”
