  • 基于节点多样性的域内路由保护算法

    Subjects: Computer Science >> Integration Theory of Computer Science submitted time 2018-11-29 Cooperative journals: 《计算机应用研究》

    Abstract: The existing routing protection schemes do not consider the importance of nodes in the network; however, the importance of different nodes in the network is not the same in real networks. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an intra-domain routing protection algorithm based on node diversity (RPBND) . Firstly, the computing node constructed a shortest path tree rooted at the destination node, which ensured the compatibility between the RPBND and the current deployment intra-domain routing algorithm. Then, it builded a directed acyclic graph on the basis of the shortest path tree, which maximized the Internet routing availability. The experiment results show that RPBND greatly improves the Internet routing availability and reduces the network disruption time caused by the faults, which provides the sufficient basis for ISPs to deploy the intra-domain routing protection scheme.

Finally, 1000 important users are selected from the Chinese dataset for instance analysis.[Result/conclusion] The experimental results show that the density value of this method is increased by 0.105 compared with the content-based method, and the entropy value decreases by 0.955 on average compared with the structure-based (including structure-based and content-based) method. The instance analysis further illustrates the feasibility of the proposed method.

  • 构建职场排斥三方互动的理论模型——社会平衡理论的视角

    Subjects: Psychology >> Developmental Psychology submitted time 2023-03-28 Cooperative journals: 《心理科学进展》

    Abstract: Most previous research has adopted the angle from the ostracized employees and studied the impact of workplace ostracism on them. However, at least two more parties are involved in workplace ostracism. They are the ostracizers and third parties. These parties should have significant influence on the emergence and development of workplace ostracism. Unfortunately, these two parties are seldom included in extant literature. This leads to a restricted theoretical understanding of the whole picture of workplace ostracism. Based on social balance theory, we argue that workplace ostracism is the result of interactions among the ostracized employees, the ostracizers and third parties. Thus, it is essential to explore how the characteristics of the ostracizers, moral judgments of third parties, and the specific interactions among the three parties can impact the emergence and development of workplace ostracism. By presenting such a comprehensive picture with multiple players and their interactions, we can provide a theoretical framework that reflects more accurately the reality and thus suggest better practical implications concerning how workplace ostracism in organizations can be reduced and managed.

  • 声乐与器乐情绪加工的ERP研究

    Subjects: Psychology >> Developmental Psychology submitted time 2023-03-28 Cooperative journals: 《心理科学进展》

    Abstract: The event-related potential (ERP) technique was used to investigate whether there are different neural responses to musical emotion when the same melodies are presented in the voice and instrumental timbre such as the violin. With a crossmodal affective priming paradigm, target faces were primed by affectively congruent or incongruent vocal and instrumental music. Participants were asked to judge whether the prime-target pair was affectively congruent or incongruent. The results revealed a larger late positive component (LPC) at the time window of 473~677 ms in response to affectively incongruent versus congruent trials in the vocal version, whereas a larger N400 effect at the time window of 281~471 ms was observed in the instrumental version. These results indicate differential patterns of neurophysiological responses to emotion processing of vocal and instrumental music.

    Subjects: Medicine, Pharmacy >> Clinical Medicine submitted time 2024-05-10 Cooperative journals: 《中国全科医学》

    Abstract: Background Hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)often coexist,posing challenges in the management of blood pressure in these patients. A reliable and objective predictor is needed to anticipate the occurrence of hypertension and assess the status of blood pressure control in OSA patients,which would facilitate their blood pressure management. Objective To explore the correlation between red blood cell distribution width(RDW) and hypertension in patients with OSA. Methods A retrospective study was conducted at the Sleep Center of Peking University International Hospital,involving 510 patients who were diagnosed with OSA using polysomnography between January 2019 and September 2022. The derivation cohort comprised of 370 enrolled patients between January 2019 and December 2021,while the validation cohort included the remaining 140 patients enrolled between January and September 2022. Within the derivation cohort,patients were categorized into two groups based on their adherence to the definition of hypertension:hypertension group(n=211) and non-hypertension group(n=159). Subsequently,the hypertension group was further divided into two subgroups:blood pressure control subgroup(n=107)and blood pressure uncontrolled subgroup(n=104). The clinical characteristics and laboratory examination results of patients in the hypertension group and non-hypertension group,as well as those in the blood pressure control subgroup and blood pressure uncontrolled subgroup,were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were employed to investigate the predictors of hypertension in OSA patients and the status of blood pressure control in OSA patients with combined hypertension. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of RDW in predicting the occurrence of hypertension among OSA patients,with its validity confirmed in the validation cohort. Results The multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that an increased BMI(OR=1.087,95%CI=1.007-1.174,P=0.032),diabetes(OR=3.310,95%CI=1.484-7.380,P=0.003),and a decreased RDW(OR=0.598,95%CI=0.507-0.704,P<0.001)were independent predictors of hypertension in OSA patients. Furthermore,an increased hemoglobin level(OR=1.027,95%CI=1.005-1.050,P=0.016) and a decreased RDW(OR=0.804,95%CI=0.669-0.965,P=0.019) were identified as independent predictors of poor blood pressure control status in OSA patients with combined hypertension. The results of ROC curve analysis for RDW in predicting hypertension in OSA patients showed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.779(95%CI=0.732-0.826,P<0.001),with an optimal cut-off value identified at 39.9 fL. Considering the clinical usability,when using an RDW ≤ 40 fL as the threshold value,the sensitivity and specificity for predicting hypertension in OSA patients were 70.14% and 81.76%,respectively. The validation cohort, utilizing an RDW cutoff value of ≤ 40 fL,demonstrated that RDW predicted the hypertension in OSA patients with a sensitivity of 63.64% and a specificity of 80.95%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.757(95%CI=0.678-0.835, P<0.001). Conclusion The reduction of RDW is associated with the occurrence of hypertension and poor blood pressure control status in patients with OSA. OSA patients exhibiting decreased RDW level are at an elevated risk for hypertension.

    Subjects: Biology >> Ecology submitted time 2023-08-26 Cooperative journals: 《干旱区研究》

    Abstract: Carbon sequestration is among the main functions of terrestrial ecosystem services, and the carbonsequestration capacity of terrestrial ecosystems directly affects global carbon emissions and climate changeprocesses. Human activities directly influence land use and cover change, consequently affecting the carbonsequestration function of ecosystems. The terrestrial ecosystem services in dry and cold regions are morevulnerable and significantly impacted by human activities. Therefore, utilizing land use data from the Irtysh RiverBasin in the Altai Mountains from 2000 to 2020, the InVEST model was used to estimate and analyze the spatialdistribution of carbon stocks in the basin during different periods. Subsequently, the influence of human activitieson the spatial distribution of carbon stocks was discussed. The results show the following: (1) The main land usetypes in the basin are woodland, grassland, and unused land, and the land use pattern changed significantly from2000 to 2020. Cultivated land, urban and rural land, industrial and mining land, and residential land expandedcontinuously, increasing by 2619.35 km2 and 186.68 km2, respectively. Grassland and water areas initiallydecreased and then expanded, increasing by 4725.13 km2 and 33.47 km2, respectively. Meanwhile, forest land andunused land decreased continuously by 2328.88 km2 and 5237.76 km2, respectively. (2) During this period, thespatial distribution pattern of carbon stocks in the basin was similar and showed a zonal distribution. High-valueareas were distributed in high- altitude regions where grassland and woodland were clustered, while low- valueareas were distributed in low-altitude regions where unused land was clustered. In 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020the total carbon storage in the basin was 641.60 Tg, 645.78 Tg, 646.83 Tg, 650.28 Tg, and 665.91 Tg,respectively , with an annual growth rate of 0.95%, showing an upward trend. (3) The areas in the basin wherecarbon storage decreased or increased showed a spot- like distribution. Furthermore, carbon storage reductionmainly occurred through the conversion of grassland to unused land and cultivated land, with an average annualreduction of 58.81 Tg. The increase in carbon storage primarily resulted from the conversion of unused land intocultivated land and grassland, with an average annual increase of 64.82 Tg. From 2000 to 2020, the netsequestration of carbon storage exceeded the net release, indicating an increasing carbon sequestration capacity inthe Irtysh River Basin. Overall, the reclamation of land and grass due to human activities is the main reason forthe increase in carbon storage in the basin. However, it is necessary to coordinate the development and utilizationof water and soil resources, as this will guarantee not only an increased carbon sink but also the preservation ofthe carrying capacity of water and soil resources, ultimately achieving sustainable economic development in theIrtysh River Basin. The results of this study will help to promote the carbon cycle of the basin and the carbonsequestration capacity of the ecosystem, as well as provide a scientific basis for the establishment andmanagement of the basin carbon pool.

    Subjects: Computer Science >> Integration Theory of Computer Science submitted time 2022-06-06 Cooperative journals: 《计算机应用研究》

    Abstract: The Aquila optimizer (AO) , although capable of robust global exploration, had problems with inadequate local development. In the study, a differential evolution mutation and tangent flight Aquila optimizer (DEtanAO) was proposed. Firstly, the mutation operation in the differential evolution algorithm can make the algorithm have strong development ability and make up for the shortcomings of the AO algorithm. Then, the tangent flight strategy in the tangent search algorithm has a strong ability to explore the search space and can make the algorithm jump out of the local optimal solution, which is used to replace the Levy flight in the AO algorithm. The combination of these two strategies effectively balanced the exploration and exploitation stage of the DEtanAO algorithm. Finally, in order to verify the optimization performance of the DEtanAO algorithm, the optimization ability of the improved algorithm was tested in 12 standard benchmark functions, high-dimensional functions, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and engineering optimization problems. The results showed that the optimization ability and convergence speed of the DEtanAO algorithm was better, compared with other newly proposed intelligent algorithms.

Conclusion The effect of sub-chronic exposure to OCDD on testicular gene expression profiles in male C57BL/6j mice indicates that the testis is probably the target organ of OCDD.

  • 歌词对音乐情绪加工的影响:行为与ERP研究

    Subjects: Psychology >> Social Psychology submitted time 2023-03-27 Cooperative journals: 《心理学报》

    Abstract: Music and language are unique to the human beings. It has been suggested that music and language have a common origin as an emotional protolanguage. The development of socialisation has resulted in the development of language into a symbolic communication system with explicit semantics. By contrast, music has become an important means of emotional expression. However, whether language with explicit semantics affects the emotional processing of music remains uncertain. Given that songs contain melody and lyrics, previous behavioural studies have focused on songs to analyse the influence of lyrics on the processing of musical emotion. However, several studies have also shown the influence of lyrics, although such findings are relatively contradictory.Thus, the current study used behavioural and electrophysiological measurements to investigate the impact of lyrics on the processing of musical emotion. Experiment 1 analysed whether the emotional connotations in music with and without lyrics could be perceived by listeners at the behavioural level. Experiment 2 further investigated whether there are different neural responses to emotions conveyed by melodies with and without lyrics.A cross-modal affective priming paradigm was used in Experiments 1 and 2, in which musical excerpts served as the prime and emotional faces as target. To avoid the impact of familiarity, 120 musical stimuli were selected from European opera. Each was sung by a vocalist with and without lyrics, thereby resulting in 240 musical stimuli in two versions as potential prime stimuli. A total of 160 facial expressions affectively congruent or incongruent with the preceding musical stimuli were selected as potential target stimuli. Three pre-tests were conducted to ensure the validity of the stimuli. Eventually, 60 musical stimuli for each music version were selected as the prime stimuli, whilst 120 images were used as the target stimuli, thereby resulting in 240 music-image pairs. To ensure that each stimulus appears only once for each participant, two lists were prepared using a Latin square design. Each prime and target was presented in either the congruent or incongruent condition within each list. Thus, each list comprised 120 trials, with 30 trials in each condition. During the experiment, the two lists were equally distributed across the participants. A total of 40 healthy adults participated in Experiment 1. They were asked to judge as quickly and accurately as possible whether the emotion of the target was happy or sad. The accuracy and reaction time were collected. Meanwhile, 20 healthy adults participated in Experiment 2. They were required to judge whether the emotion between music and image was congruent or incongruent whilst their EEG waveforms were recorded. ERPs were analysed and compared between conditions at the time windows of 250~450 ms and 500~700 ms after the onset of the target.The Experiment 1 results showed that when faces were primed by music either with or without lyrics, the participants responded faster and more accurately under affectively congruent condition compared with affectively incongruent condition. This finding indicated that the emotional connotations in music with and without lyrics could both be perceived. The ERP results in Experiment 2 showed that distinct neural mechanisms were activated by music with and without lyrics. Specifically, when faces were primed by music without lyrics, a larger N400 was elicited in response to affectively incongruent pairs than to affectively congruent pairs at the time window of 250~450 ms. However, when faces were primed by music with lyrics, a more positive LPC was observed in response to the affectively incongruent pairs than to the affectively congruent pairs at 500~700 ms. This finding confirms the results of Experiment 1, thereby suggesting that the emotion conveyed by music with and without lyrics could be perceived by the listeners. Moreover, the emotional processing between music with and without lyrics differs in the time course of neural processing. That is, the emotional processing of music with lyrics lagged behind that of music without lyrics.In conclusion, the present results suggest that the neural processing of emotional connotations in music without lyrics preceded that of music with lyrics, although the emotional connotations conveyed by music with and without lyrics could both be perceived. These findings also supported theory of musical philosophy, which suggests that music without lyrics can express emotion more immediately and more directly than music with lyrics owing to the lack of “translation” from the propositional system. On the other hand, considering that lyrics influenced the time course of emotional processing in music with lyrics, our results also provide evidence that the emotional processing of music and language may share neural resources to some extent.
