    Under the impact of regional integration and rapid urbanization, Chinese metropolitan area is confronted with the pressure brought by further massiveness, high density and continuous development. The existing layout of job-housing space balance in cities has been further spread and aggravated, which leads to a series of problems including traffic jams and air pollution, etc. This thesis excavates, analyzes and integrates the city residents’ action trajectory data in various heterogeneous cities through the intelligent transportation data platform of metropolitan area. Furthermore, the research also extracts the intelligent knowledge on the aspect of urban job-housing space, identifies and analyzes its characteristics effectively. This thesis takes Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area as the research object to carry out intelligent analysis on working and residential space in main cities. We can identify residents' commuting behaviors with multi-source location perception data. Firstly, the GPS trajectory data of large-scale taxi will be utilized, and the transportation behaviors and characteristics of taxi will be assumed as the urban residents’ trip behaviors. Then the research of urban space-time structure and residents’ activities hot spots will be carried out from the macro perspective. Secondly, a residents’ trip survey method combining mobile phone location and internet feedback will be put forward. Aiming at the location Microblog data, the characteristics of residents’ workplaces and residences could be identified with fuzzy mathematical method. During the identification process, the individual behavior patterns obtained from the resident trip survey data will be used as the recognition feature. Through the analysis, We discovered that the data mining method of the residents’ action trajectory is feasible for the study of job-housing space. The study shows that the key factor influencing the job-housing balance in metropolitan area is the improvement of disperse urbanization life-style which takes family as a single unit. It also puts forwards the future ternary development mode of “employment-residence-public service” of job-housing balance in Chinese metropolitan area. The research also discovers a measurement method of excess commuting to develop the commuting efficiency in job-housing space. Furthermore, through the research on excess commuting degree of main cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area by utilizing the commuting behaviors extraction result of Microsoft data, the correlation factor of characteristic attributes and job-housing separation phenomenon in urban community could be found. Finally, the intelligent development characteristics of job-housing space in metropolitan area will be discussed by combining the geographical visualization method and taxi trajectory mining result

    Dynamic Fair Federated Learning Based on Reinforcement Learning

    Federated learning enables a collaborative training and optimization of global models among a group of devices without sharing local data samples. However, the heterogeneity of data in federated learning can lead to unfair representation of the global model across different devices. To address the fairness issue in federated learning, we propose a dynamic q fairness federated learning algorithm with reinforcement learning, called DQFFL. DQFFL aims to mitigate the discrepancies in device aggregation and enhance the fairness of treatment for all groups involved in federated learning. To quantify fairness, DQFFL leverages the performance of the global federated model on each device and incorporates {\alpha}-fairness to transform the preservation of fairness during federated aggregation into the distribution of client weights in the aggregation process. Considering the sensitivity of parameters in measuring fairness, we propose to utilize reinforcement learning for dynamic parameters during aggregation. Experimental results demonstrate that our DQFFL outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of overall performance, fairness and convergence speed

    The deployment of the innate immune system in humans is essential to protect us from infection. Human cathelicidin LL-37 is a linear host defense peptide with both antimicrobial and immune modulatory properties. Despite years of studies of numerous peptides, SK-24, corresponding to the long hydrophobic domain (residues 9–32) in the anionic lipid-bound NMR structure of LL-37, has not been investigated. This study reports the structure and activity of SK-24. Interestingly, SK-24 is entirely helical (~100%) in phosphate buffer (PBS), more than LL-37 (84%), GI-20 (75%), and GF-17 (33%), while RI-10 and 17BIPHE2 are essentially randomly coiled (helix%: 7–10%). These results imply an important role for the additional N-terminal amino acids (likely E16) of SK-24 in stabilizing the helical conformation in PBS. It is proposed herein that SK-24 contains the minimal sequence for effective oligomerization of LL-37. Superior to LL-37 and RI-10, SK-24 shows an antimicrobial activity spectrum comparable to the major antimicrobial peptides GF-17 and GI-20 by targeting bacterial membranes and forming a helical conformation. Like the engineered peptide 17BIPHE2, SK-24 has a stronger antibiofilm activity than LL-37, GI-20, and GF-17. Nevertheless, SK-24 is least hemolytic at 200 µM compared with LL-37 and its other peptides investigated herein. Combined, these results enabled us to appreciate the elegance of the long amphipathic helix SK-24 nature deploys within LL-37 for human antimicrobial defense. SK-24 may be a useful template of therapeutic potentia

    LLMvsSmall Model? Large Language Model Based Text Augmentation Enhanced Personality Detection Model

    Full text link
    Personality detection aims to detect one's personality traits underlying in social media posts. One challenge of this task is the scarcity of ground-truth personality traits which are collected from self-report questionnaires. Most existing methods learn post features directly by fine-tuning the pre-trained language models under the supervision of limited personality labels. This leads to inferior quality of post features and consequently affects the performance. In addition, they treat personality traits as one-hot classification labels, overlooking the semantic information within them. In this paper, we propose a large language model (LLM) based text augmentation enhanced personality detection model, which distills the LLM's knowledge to enhance the small model for personality detection, even when the LLM fails in this task. Specifically, we enable LLM to generate post analyses (augmentations) from the aspects of semantic, sentiment, and linguistic, which are critical for personality detection. By using contrastive learning to pull them together in the embedding space, the post encoder can better capture the psycho-linguistic information within the post representations, thus improving personality detection. Furthermore, we utilize the LLM to enrich the information of personality labels for enhancing the detection performance. Experimental results on the benchmark datasets demonstrate that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on personality detection

    In this paper, a mathematical model was established to predict the deoxidation alloying and to optimize the type and quantity of input alloys. Firstly, the GCA method was used to obtain the main factors affecting the alloy yield of carbon and manganese based on the historical data. Secondly, the alloy yield was predicted by the stepwise MRA, the BP neural network and the regression SVM models, respectively. The conclusion is that the regression SVM model has the highest prediction accuracy and the maximum deviation between the test set prediction result and the real value was only 0.0682 and 0.0554. Thirdly, in order to reduce the manufacturer's production cost, the genetic algorithm was used to calculate the production cost mathematical programming model. Finally, sensitivity analysis was performed on the prediction model and the cost optimization model. The unit price of 20% of the alloy raw materials was increased by 20%, and the total cost change rate was 0.7155%, the lowest was -0.4297%, which proved that the mathematical model established presented strong robustness and could be certain reference value for the current production of iron and steel enterprises

    In a previous report [1], we introduced the application of thermal wave imaging to adhesion disbonds and corrosion in aircraft. In the present paper, we describe the application of pulse-echo thermal wave imaging to NDT of aging aircraft. The technique uses high-power photographic flash lamps as a heat source and an IR video camera as a detector. The flash lamps launch pulses of heat into the skin of the aircraft and the IR camera images the returning thermal wave reflections from subsurface defects. The system also includes electronic hardware and software for carrying out the time-gated imaging and real time analysis of the defects. It also has the ability to image large areas in short times. The current inspection speed enables the imaging of over 90 feet of a 16″ strip of aircraft per hour. Here we present some examples of airframe defects, both for metal and composite structures

    HIV research among internal migrants in China has not fully explored the contexts and perceptions of “risk”. In 2011, urban markets in Liuzhou, China were mapped, and sixty male vendors, age 22 to 56, were selected for in-depth interviews on migration, social and family life, and perceptions and practices of sexual risk behavior. Participants were evenly divided among higher income shop and small stall vendors. All men were sexually active. Only the shop vendors reported non-marital sexual partners, including concurrent partners (n=15), commercial partners (n=10), and other sexual relationships (n=11). Shop vendors engaged in networking activities that facilitated commercial and non-commercial high-risk sex. Perceptions of HIV risk from commercial sex led some men to doubt the protective ability of condoms and rely on local (unproven) self-protection techniques. Networking activities played a role in high-risk sex and shaping migrants' risk perceptions and health practices. The networks created through these processes could also be used to facilitate health promotion activities
