Bi-Objective Optimization Method and Application of Mechanism Design Based on Pigs' Payoff Game Behavior

It takes two design goals as different game players and design variables are divided into strategy spaces owned by corresponding game player by calculating the impact factor and fuzzy clustering. By the analysis of behavior characteristics of two kinds of intelligent pigs, the big pig's behavior is cooperative and collective, but the small pig's behavior is noncooperative, which are endowed with corresponding game player. Two game players establish the mapping relationship between game players payoff functions and objective functions. In their own strategy space, each game player takes their payoff function as monoobjective for optimization. It gives the best strategy upon other players. All the best strategies are combined to be a game strategy set. With convergence and multiround game, the final game solution is obtained. Taking bi-objective optimization of luffing mechanism of compensative shave block, for example, the results show that the method can effectively solve bi-objective optimization problems with preferred target and the efficiency and accuracy are also well

Using feature optimization and LightGBM algorithm to predict the clinical pregnancy outcomes after in vitro fertilization

BackgroundAccording to a recent report by the WHO, approximately 17.5\% (about one-sixth) of the global adult population is affected by infertility. Consequently, researchers worldwide have proposed various machine learning models to improve the prediction of clinical pregnancy outcomes during IVF cycles. The objective of this study is to develop a machine learning(ML) model that predicts the outcomes of pregnancies following in vitro fertilization (IVF) and assists in clinical treatment.MethodsThis study conducted a retrospective analysis on provincial reproductive centers in China from March 2020 to March 2021, utilizing 13 selected features. The algorithms used included XGBoost, LightGBM, KNN, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, and Decision Tree. The results were evaluated using performance metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score, accuracy and AUC, employing five-fold cross-validation repeated five times.ResultsAmong the models, LightGBM achieved the best performance, with an accuracy of 92.31%, recall of 87.80%, F1-score of 90.00\%, and an AUC of 90.41%. The model identified the estrogen concentration at the HCG injection(etwo), endometrium thickness (mm) on HCG day(EM TNK), years of infertility(Years), and body mass index(BMI) as the most important features.ConclusionThis study successfully demonstrates the LightGBM model has the best predictive effect on pregnancy outcomes during IVF cycles. Additionally, etwo was found to be the most significant predictor for successful IVF compared to other variables. This machine learning approach has the potential to assist fertility specialists in providing counseling and adjusting treatment strategies for patients

Clinical application of CT-guided 125I seed interstitial implantation for local recurrent rectal carcinoma

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Purpose</p> <p>The present study aimed to explore the safety profile and clinical efficacy of CT-guided radioactive seed implantation in treating local recurrent rectal carcinoma.</p> <p>Materials and methods</p> <p>CT-guided ¹²⁵I seed implantation was carried out in 20 patients with locally recurrent rectal carcinoma. 14 of the 20 patient had prior adjuvant external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT). The treatment planning system (TPS) was used preoperatively to reconstruct three dimensional images of the tumor and to calculate the estimated seed number and distribution. The median matched peripheral dose (MPD) was 120 Gy (range, 100-160 Gy).</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Of the 20 patients, 12 were male, 8 were female, and ages ranged from 38 to 78, with a median age of 62. Duration of follow-up was 3-34 months. The response rate of pain relief was 85% (17/20). Repeat CT scan 2 months following the procedure revealed complete response (CR) of the tumor in 2 patients, partial response (PR) in 13 patients, stable disease (SD) in 3 patients, and progressive disease (PD) in 2 patients. 75% of patients had either CR or PR. Median survival time was 18.8 months (95% CI: 3.5-22.4 months). 1 and 2 year survival rates were 75% and 25%, respectively. 4 patients died of recurrent tumor; 4 patients died of distant metastases; 9 patients died of recurrent tumor and distant metastases. 3 patients survived after 2 year follow up. Two patients were found to have mild hematochezia, which was reversible with symptomatic management.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>CT-guided ¹²⁵I seed implantation appeared to be a safe, useful and less complicated interventional treatment option for local recurrent rectal carcinoma.</p

Systematic analysis of strange single heavy baryons Ξc\Xi_{c} and Ξb\Xi_{b}

Motivated by the experimental progress in the study of heavy baryons, we investigate the mass spectra of strange single heavy baryons in the $\lambda$-mode, where the relativistic quark model and the infinitesimally shifted Gaussian basis function method are employed. It is shown that the experimental data can be well reproduced by the predicted masses. The root mean square radii and radial probability density distributions of the wave functions are analyzed in detail. Meanwhile, the mass spectra allow us to successfully construct the Regge trajectories in the $(J,M^{2})$ plane. We also preliminarily assign quantum numbers to the recently observed baryons, including $\Xi_{c}(3055)$, $\Xi_{c}(3080)$, $\Xi_{c}(2930)$, $\Xi_{c}(2923)$, $\Xi_{c}(2939)$, $\Xi_{c}(2965)$, $\Xi_{c}(2970)$, $\Xi_{c}(3123)$, $\Xi_{b}(6100)$, $\Xi_{b}(6227)$, $\Xi_{b}(6327)$ and $\Xi_{b}(6333)$. At last, the spectral structure of the strange single heavy baryons is shown. Accordingly, we predict several new baryons that might be observed in forthcoming experiments.Comment: 27 pages, 11 figures, 8 table

The Role of Cloud Radiative Effects in the Propagating Southern Annular Mode

The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the most dominant natural mode of variability in the mid-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere (SH). However, both the sign and magnitude of the feedbacks from the diabatic processes, especially those associated with clouds, onto the SAM remain elusive. By applying the cloud locking technique to the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) atmosphere model, this study isolates the positive feedback from the cloud radiative effect (CRE) to the SAM. Feedback analysis based on a wave activity-zonal momentum interaction framework corroborates this weak but positive feedback. While the magnitude of the CRE feedback appears to be secondary compared to the feedbacks from the dry and other diabatic processes, the indirect CRE effects through the interaction with other dynamical and thermodynamical processes appear to play as important a role as the direct CRE in the life cycle of the SAM. The cross-EOF analysis further reveals the obstructive effect of the interactive CRE on the propagation mode of the SH zonal wind directly through the CRE wave source and/or indirectly through modulating other diabatic processes. As a result, the propagation mode becomes more persistent and the SAM it represents becomes more predictable when the interactive CRE is disabled by cloud locking. Future efforts on inter-model comparisons of CRE-denial experiments are important to build consensus on the dynamical feedback of CRE

Vremenski razlučeni fotoluminescentni spektri legure (AlxGa1−x)0.51In0.49P (x = 0.29)

Measurements of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectra were made in a study of the optical properties of partially ordered quaternary (AlxGa1-x)0.51In0.49P (x=0.29) alloy. Both excitation-wavelength dependence of lifetime and excitation-intensity dependence of lifetime show a wide distribution of carriers. In TRPL spectra measured at 300 K, a blue-shift of photoluminescence (PL) peaks in (AlxGa1-x)0.51In0.49P is observed. The phenomenon is in agreement with the Z-shaped temperature dependence of the PL peak. Possible origins of the blue-shift and Z-shaped behaviour of PL peak are presented.Načinili smo vremenski-razlučena (VR) mjerenja fotoluminescentnih (FL) spektara radi istraživanja optičkih svojstava djelomično sređene četverokomponentne legure (AlxGa1−x)0.51In0.49P (x = 0.29).
