Analysis of Multi-Element Blended Course Teaching and Learning Mode Based on Student-Centered Concept under the Perspective of “Internet+”
The integration of Internet and education has changed students’ learning environment and affected their learning behavior, which poses a greater challenge to the traditional teaching mode. Through the SWOT analysis of the “student centered” multi-element blended teaching mode in the era of “Internet + education”, it is concluded that the adaptability of learners themselves and the mismatch between teachers’ educational ideas and this teaching model delay the development of education to a certain extent. Some suggestions are put forward, such as strengthening the supervision and guidance, implementing the teaching and learning model scientifically, improving teachers’ ideology and comprehensive quality, and making full use of the characteristics of Internet opening, sharing and collaboration to construct the public service system and platform of national educational resources

Truncated Laplace and Gaussian mechanisms of RDP
The Laplace mechanism and the Gaussian mechanism are primary mechanisms in
differential privacy, widely applicable to many scenarios involving numerical
data. However, due to the infinite-range random variables they generate, the
Laplace and Gaussian mechanisms may return values that are semantically
impossible, such as negative numbers. To address this issue, we have designed
the truncated Laplace mechanism and Gaussian mechanism. For a given truncation
interval [a, b], the truncated Gaussian mechanism ensures the same Renyi
Differential Privacy (RDP) as the untruncated mechanism, regardless of the
values chosen for the truncation interval [a, b]. Similarly, the truncated
Laplace mechanism, for specified interval [a, b], maintains the same RDP as the
untruncated mechanism. We provide the RDP expressions for each of them. We
believe that our study can further enhance the utility of differential privacy
in specific applications
Separation and Identification of HSP-Associated Protein Complexes from Pancreatic Cancer Cell Lines Using 2D CN/SDS-PAGE Coupled with Mass Spectrometry
Protein complexes are a cornerstone of many biological processes and together they form various types of molecular machinery. A broad understanding of these protein complexes is crucial for revealing and building models of protein function and regulation. Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease which is difficult to diagnose at early stage and even more difficult to cure. In this study, we applied a gradient clear native gel system combined with subsequent second-dimensional SDS-PAGE to separate protein complexes from cell lysates of SW1990 and PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cell lines with different degrees of differentiation. Ten heat-shock-protein- (HSP-) associated protein complexes were separated and identified, and the differentially expressed proteins related to cancers were also found, such as HSP60, protein disulfide-isomerase A4 (ERp72), and transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (TER ATPase)
Your Contrastive Learning Is Secretly Doing Stochastic Neighbor Embedding
Contrastive learning, especially self-supervised contrastive learning (SSCL),
has achieved great success in extracting powerful features from unlabeled data.
In this work, we contribute to the theoretical understanding of SSCL and
uncover its connection to the classic data visualization method, stochastic
neighbor embedding (SNE), whose goal is to preserve pairwise distances. From
the perspective of preserving neighboring information, SSCL can be viewed as a
special case of SNE with the input space pairwise similarities specified by
data augmentation. The established correspondence facilitates deeper
theoretical understanding of learned features of SSCL, as well as
methodological guidelines for practical improvement. Specifically, through the
lens of SNE, we provide novel analysis on domain-agnostic augmentations,
implicit bias and robustness of learned features. To illustrate the practical
advantage, we demonstrate that the modifications from SNE to -SNE can also
be adopted in the SSCL setting, achieving significant improvement in both
in-distribution and out-of-distribution generalization.Comment: Accepted by ICLR 202

Predicting taxonomic and functional structure of microbial communities in acid mine drainage.
Predicting the dynamics of community composition and functional attributes responding to environmental changes is an essential goal in community ecology but remains a major challenge, particularly in microbial ecology. Here, by targeting a model system with low species richness, we explore the spatial distribution of taxonomic and functional structure of 40 acid mine drainage (AMD) microbial communities across Southeast China profiled by 16S ribosomal RNA pyrosequencing and a comprehensive microarray (GeoChip). Similar environmentally dependent patterns of dominant microbial lineages and key functional genes were observed regardless of the large-scale geographical isolation. Functional and phylogenetic β-diversities were significantly correlated, whereas functional metabolic potentials were strongly influenced by environmental conditions and community taxonomic structure. Using advanced modeling approaches based on artificial neural networks, we successfully predicted the taxonomic and functional dynamics with significantly higher prediction accuracies of metabolic potentials (average Bray-Curtis similarity 87.8) as compared with relative microbial abundances (similarity 66.8), implying that natural AMD microbial assemblages may be better predicted at the functional genes level rather than at taxonomic level. Furthermore, relative metabolic potentials of genes involved in many key ecological functions (for example, nitrogen and phosphate utilization, metals resistance and stress response) were extrapolated to increase under more acidic and metal-rich conditions, indicating a critical strategy of stress adaptation in these extraordinary communities. Collectively, our findings indicate that natural selection rather than geographic distance has a more crucial role in shaping the taxonomic and functional patterns of AMD microbial community that readily predicted by modeling methods and suggest that the model-based approach is essential to better understand natural acidophilic microbial communities
Detecting single molecules inside a carbon nanotube to control molecular sequences using inertia trapping phenomenon
Here we show the detection of single gas molecules inside a carbon nanotube based on the change in
resonance frequency and amplitude associated with the inertia trapping phenomenon. As its direct
implication, a method for controlling the sequence of small molecule is then proposed to realize the
concept of manoeuvring of matter atom by atom in one dimension. The detection as well as the
implication is demonstrated numerically with the molecular dynamics method. It is theoretically
assessed that it is possible for a physical model to be fabricated in the very near future
A universal and improved mutation strategy for iterative wavefront shaping
Recent advances in iterative wavefront shaping (WFS) techniques have made it
possible to manipulate the light focusing and transport in scattering media. To
improve the optimization performance, various optimization algorithms and
improved strategies have been utilized. Here, a novel guided mutation (GM)
strategy is proposed to improve optimization efficiency for iterative WFS. For
both phase modulation and binary amplitude modulation, considerable
improvements in optimization effect and rate have been obtained using multiple
GM-enhanced algorithms. Due of its improvements and universality, GM is
beneficial for applications ranging from controlling the transmission of light
through disordered media to optical manipulation behind them.Comment: 5 pages with 6 figure
DP-DCAN: Differentially Private Deep Contrastive Autoencoder Network for Single-cell Clustering
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is important to transcriptomic
analysis of gene expression. Recently, deep learning has facilitated the
analysis of high-dimensional single-cell data. Unfortunately, deep learning
models may leak sensitive information about users. As a result, Differential
Privacy (DP) is increasingly used to protect privacy. However, existing DP
methods usually perturb whole neural networks to achieve differential privacy,
and hence result in great performance overheads. To address this challenge, in
this paper, we take advantage of the uniqueness of the autoencoder that it
outputs only the dimension-reduced vector in the middle of the network, and
design a Differentially Private Deep Contrastive Autoencoder Network (DP-DCAN)
by partial network perturbation for single-cell clustering. Since only partial
network is added with noise, the performance improvement is obvious and
twofold: one part of network is trained with less noise due to a bigger privacy
budget, and the other part is trained without any noise. Experimental results
of six datasets have verified that DP-DCAN is superior to the traditional DP
scheme with whole network perturbation. Moreover, DP-DCAN demonstrates strong
robustness to adversarial attacks
