    Abstract In this paper, we distinguish two guessing algorithms for decoding binary linear codes. One is the guessing noise decoding (GND) algorithm, and the other is the guessing codeword decoding (GCD) algorithm. We prove that the GCD is a maximum likelihood (ML) decoding algorithm and that the GCD is more efficient than GND for most practical applications. We also introduce several variants of ordered statistic decoding (OSD) to trade off the complexity of the Gaussian elimination (GE) and that of the guessing, which may find applications in decoding short block codes in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region.

    Abstract Deep learning is an important technology in the field of image recognition. Finger vein recognition based on deep learning is one of the research hotspots in the field of image recognition and has attracted a lot of attention. Among them, CNN is the most core part, which can be trained to get a model that can extract finger vein image features. In the existing research, some studies have used methods such as combination of multiple CNN models and joint loss function to improve the accuracy and robustness of finger vein recognition. However, in practical applications, finger vein recognition still faces some challenges, such as how to solve the interference and noise in finger vein images, how to improve the robustness of the model, and how to solve the cross-domain problem. In this paper, we propose a finger vein recognition method based on ant colony optimization and improved EfficientNetV2, using ACO to participate in ROI extraction, fusing dual attention fusion network (DANet) with EfficientNetV2, and conducting experiments on two publicly available databases, and the results show that the recognition rate using the proposed method on the FV-USM dataset reaches The results show that the proposed method achieves a recognition rate of 98.96% on the FV-USM dataset, which is better than other algorithmic models, proving that the method has good recognition rate and application prospects for finger vein recognition.

    Abstract Slow dynamics in supercooled and glassy liquids is an important research topic in soft matter physics. Compared to the traditionally focused one-component systems, glassy dynamics in mixture systems adds in a rich set of new complexities, which are fundamentally interesting and also relevant for many technological applications. In this paper, we apply the recently developed self-consistent cooperative hopping theory (SCCHT) to systematically investigate the effects of the size ratio, composition and interparticle interactions on the cooperative activated hopping dynamics of matrix (in larger size) and penetrant (in smaller size) particles in varied binary sphere mixture model systems, with a specific focus on ultrahigh mixture packing fractions that mimic the deeply supercooled glass transition conditions for molecular/polymeric mixture materials. Analysis shows that in these high activation barrier cases, the long-range elastic distortion associated with a matrix particle hopping over its cage confinement always generates an elastic barrier of a nonnegligible magnitude, although the ratio between the elastic barrier and local barrier contribution is sensitively dependent on all three mixture-specific system factors considered in this work. SCCHT predicts two general scenarios of penetrant-matrix cooperative activated hopping dynamics: matrix/penetrant co-hopping (regime 1) or the penetrant mean barrier hopping time shorter than that of the matrix (regime 2). Increasing the penetrant-to-matrix size ratio or the penetrant-matrix cross-attraction strength is found to universally enlarge the composition window of regime 1. Diverse dynamical properties characterising different aspects of the cooperative activated hopping process, including the penetrant and matrix transient localization lengths, penetrant and matrix hopping jump distances, different types of local and elastic activated barriers, and matrix long-time diffusivity, relaxation time and dynamic fragility are quantitatively studied against a wide range of variations over the three system factors. Of particular interest is the universal "anti-plasticization" phenomenon achievable for sufficiently strong cross-attractive interactions. The prospects this work opens for the exploration of a wide variety of polymer-based mixture materials are briefly discussed at the end.

    Abstract Photoaging of skin, a chronic disease, can produce the appearance changes and cancer lesions of skin. Therefore, it is of great significance to investigate the mechanisms and explore effective methods to treat the disorder. Gut microbiota and intestinal metabolisms have critical roles in a variety of diseases. However, their roles on photoaging of skin were not well tested. In the present work, the results showed that compared with control group, the levels of MDA, SOD and CAT associated with oxidative stress, the levels of COL I, CER, and HA associated with skin function, and the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α associated with inflammation after long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation in mice were significantly changed. Skin pathological tissue was also seriously damaged. The protein levels of AQP3 and FLG were significantly decreased. Ultraviolet exposure also promoted skin photoaging by activating TNFR1/TRAF2-mediated MAPK pathway, in which the protein levels of P38/P-P38, c-FOS/P-c-FOS, MMP1, TNFR1 and TRAF2 were significantly increased in model mice compared with control group. In fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiment, we found that the intestinal microbiome of control mice alleviated skin photoaging via adjusting the protein levels of P38/P-P38, c-FOS/P-c-FOS, MMP1, TNFR1 and TRAF2. 16S rRNA sequencing found that 1639 intestinal bacteria were found, in which 15 bacteria including norank_f_Ruminococcaceae, Lachnospirac -eae_NK4A136_group, Lachnoclostridium, etc., were significantly different at the genus level. Untargeted GC-TOF/MS and UHPLC-MS/MS metabolomics showed 72 and 188 metabolites including taurine, ornithine, L-arginine, L-histidine, sucrose with significant differences compared with control group. Then, amino acid targeting assay showed 10 amino acids including L-ornithine, L-arginine and L-citrulline with higher levels in control group compared with model group. In addition, we also found that the variation of Lachnoclostridium abundance may regulate L-arginine metabolism to affect skin photoaging. Some intestinal bacteria and metabolites including amino acids may be closely related to skin photoaging, which should provide new methods to treat skin photoaging in the future.

    Abstract This article proposes a novel hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) algorithm for unmanned aerial vehicle pursuit-evasion (UAV-PE) game systems with an alternative delay update (ADU) method. In the proposed algorithm, the approximate solutions of the UAV-PE game problem are derived from a hierarchical learning process, which relies on a zero-sum game process of kinematics and a corresponding optimal process of dynamics. In this case, deep neural networks (NNs) are used to approximate the policy and value functions of UAV-PE game systems in kinematics and dynamics level. Furthermore, the ADU method is adopted to improve the training efficiency of deep NN by fixing one player of the UAV-PE game systems to form a stable environment. The goal of this article is to develop an HRL algorithm with an ADU method for obtaining approximate Nash equilibrium (NE) solutions of the considered UAV-PE game systems which are subjected to the coupling of kinematics and dynamics. Subsequently, sufficient conditions are provided for analyzing the convergence and optimality of the proposed HRL algorithm. Moreover, the inequalities of overload are obtained to guarantee that the state of dynamics tracks with the control input of kinematics in UAV-PE game systems. Finally, simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of the proposed HRL algorithm and ADU method.

    Abstract Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid, nondestructive analytical technique utilized in various fields. However, the NIR data, which consists of hundreds of dimensions, may exhibit considerable duplication in the spectrum information. This redundancy might impair modeling effectiveness. As a result, feature selection on the spectral data becomes critical. The Max-Relevance Min-Redundancy (mRMR) method stands out among the different feature selection techniques for dimensional reduction. The approach depends on mutual information (MI) between random variables as the basis for feature selection and is unaffected by modeling methods. However, it is necessary to clarify the benefits of the maximum correlation minimal redundancy algorithm in the context of near-infrared spectral feature selection, as well as its adaptability to various modeling methods. This research focuses on the NIR spectral dataset of maize germination rate, and the mRMR method is utilized to select spectral features. Based on the preceding foundation, we create models for Support Vector Regression, Gaussian Process Regression, Random Forest, and Neural Networks. The experimental findings demonstrate that, among the feature selection methods employed in this paper, the Max-Relevance Min-Redundancy algorithm outperforms others regarding the corn germination rate dataset.
