DataSheet1_Dimensionality reduction and machine learning based model of software cost estimation.ZIP

Software Cost Estimation (SCE) is one of the research priorities and challenges in the construction of cyber-physical-social systems (CPSSs). In CPSS, it is urge to process environmental and social information accurately and use it to guide social practice. Thus, in response to the problems of low prediction accuracy, poor robustness, and poor interpretability in SCE, this paper proposes a SCE model based on Autoencoder and Random Forest. First, preprocess the project data, remove outliers, and build regression trees to fill in missing attributes in the data. Second, construct a Autoencoder to reduce the dimensionality of factors that affect software cost. Subsequently, the performance of the model was trained and validated using the XGBoost framework on three datasets: COCOMO81, Albrecht, and Desharnais, and compared with common cost prediction models. The experimental results show that the MMRE, MdMRE, and PRED (0.25) values of the proposed model on the COCOMO81 dataset reached 0.21, 0.16, and 0.71, respectively. Compared with other models, the proposed model achieved significant improvements in accuracy and robustness.</p

Biomimetic Fibrous Murray Membranes with Ultrafast Water Transport and Evaporation for Smart Moisture-Wicking Fabrics

Both antigravity directional water transport and ultrafast evaporation are critical to achieving a high-performance moisture-wicking fabric. The transpiration in vascular plants possess both of these features, which is due to their optimized hierarchical structure composed of multibranching porous networks following Murray’s law. However, it remains a great challenge to simultaneously realize the ultrafast water transport and evaporation by mimicking nature’s Murray networks in the synthetic materials. Here, we report a synergistic assembly strategy to create a biomimetic micro- and nanofibrous membrane with antigravity directional water transport and quick-dry performance by combining a multibranching porous structure and surface energy gradient, overcoming previous limitations. The resulting fiber-based porous Murray membranes exhibit an ultrahigh one-way transport capability (R) of 1245%, a desired overall moisture management capability (OMMC) of 0.94, and an outstanding water evaporation rate of 0.67 g h–1 (5.8 and 2.1 times higher than the cotton fabric and Coolmax fabric, respectively). Overall, the successful synthesis of these biomimetic porous Murray membranes should serve as a source of inspiration for the development of moisture-wicking technologies, providing personal comfort in hot or humid environments

Impact of High-Fiber or High-Protein Diet on the Capacity of Human Gut Microbiota To Produce Tryptophan Catabolites

This study investigated the effect of high-fiber-low-protein (HF) and high-protein-low-fiber (HP) diets on microbial catabolism of tryptophan in the proximal colon (PC) and distal colon(DC) compartments of the Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem. The microbiota in PC and DC was dominated by Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, in which Bacteroidetes were more abundant in DC (∼60% versus 50%) and Firmicutes were more abundant in PC (∼40% versus 25%). Most of the tryptophan catabolites were determined at a higher concentration in PC samples than in DC samples, but the overall concentration of tryptophan catabolites was over 10-fold higher in DC samples than that in PC samples. Interestingly, indole-3-propionic acid and oxindole were only identified in DC samples. A two-week dietary intervention by the HF diet enriched the abundance of Firmicutes in PC, whereas the HP diet enriched the abundance of Proteobacteria. Compared to the HP diet, the HF diet favored the microbial production of indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-lactic acid, indole-3-aldehyde, and indole-3-propionic acid in both PC and DC compartments. To conclude, these findings increase the understanding of the effect of diets on the microbial production of tryptophan catabolites in the colon
