Abstract: In response to the low efficiency of intelligence in traditional logistics industry and transaction services, the lack of effective consensus mechanisms, and the difficulty in fully considering the mutual influence and conflict between multiple objectives, this article adopts multi-objective consensus algorithm (MOCA) to study the optimization of objectives in the logistics industry and transaction services. Firstly, the needs and objective functions of the shipper, logistics service provider, and recipient can be modeled, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and exponential smoothing methods can be used for target weighting and dynamic weight adjustment. Then, the Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm…can be introduced to balance the benefits of all parties and find the optimal solution set for the optimization objective. Finally, a consensus mechanism can be established by combining Nash equilibrium and bargaining solution game theory models to achieve fairness in cooperation among the shipper, logistics service provider, and recipient. The experiment collected daily operation records and management systems from a logistics enterprise in Wuhan from June to December 2023. The results showed that in terms of overall efficiency, MOPSO game theory reached 96.5%, an improvement of 6.3% compared to PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) game theory, and the Benefit Fairness Index (BFI) reached 90.5%. By combining MOCA to optimize the objectives of logistics and transaction services, the intelligence efficiency is greatly improved, ensuring the maximization of benefits and satisfaction for stakeholders.

Abstract: In this paper, the anti-cancer drug 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) was taken as the detection object. The biosensor of dsDNA/GNs/chit/GCE was established using the grapheme (GNs) and chitosan (chit) as the compound modified material. The electrochemical behavior of 6-MP on the sensor was discussed, and the damage and its mechanism of 6-MP on DNA were studied. The experimental result showed that, after the modification of GNs-chit, the electrode activation area of GNs/chit/GCE increased remarkably, which was improved from 1.76cm2 to 8.64 cm2 , and the responsive oxidation peak current of GNs/chit/GCE to K3 [Fe(CN)6 ] also increased remarkably. At the meantime, it…was demonstrated that DNA was effectively fixed on the GNs/chit/GCE electrode;6-MP caused obvious damage to dsDNA, and the damage degree on the adenine was bigger than that on the guanine; the interaction between 6-MP and dsDNA was preliminarily deduced as the intercalation, and its electrochemical oxidation process was an irreversible process controlled by the adsorption.

Abstract: Backbone is the set of literals that are true in all formula’s models. Computing a part of backbone efficiently could guide the following searching in SAT solving and accelerate the process, which is widely used in fault localization, product configuration, and formula simplification. Specifically, iterative SAT testings among literals are the most time consumer in backbone computing. We propose a Greedy-Whitening based algorithm in order to accelerate backbone computing. On the one hand, we try to reduce the number of SAT testings as many as possible. On the other hand, we make every inventible SAT testing more efficient. The proposed…approach consists of three steps. The first step is a Greedy-based algorithm which computes an under-approximation of non-backbone BL ‾ ⇂ ( Φ ) . Backbone computing is accelerated since SAT testings of literals in BL ‾ ⇂ ( Φ ) are saved. The second step is a Whitening-based algorithm with two heuristic strategies which computes an approximation set of backbone BL ˆ ( Φ ) . Backbone computing is accelerated since more backbone are found at an early stage of the computing by testing the literals in BL ˆ ( Φ ) first, which makes every individual SAT testing more efficient. The exact backbone is computed in the third step which applies iterative backbone testing on the approximations. We implemented our approach in a tool Bone and conducted experiments on instances from Industrial tracks of SAT Competitions between 2002 and 2016. Empirical results show that Bone is more efficient in industrial and crafted formulas.

Abstract: A new integration method of the optimal square approximation method (OSAM) and the second order reliability method (SORM) was presented to ensure the mechanism structure design more reliable and robust. As for arbitrary distribution variables of mechanical structure design, the performance function of mechanical structure is expanded into the second-order Taylor series, the probability density function (PDF) and the first four moments (FFM) including the mean, the variance, the third-order moment and the fourth-order moments of performance function, which can be obtained according to the integration of OSAM and SORM. The numerical example of power-output shaft flange demonstrates that the…sensitivity matrix conforms to the qualitative analysis for reliability design, and the presented integration method has the characteristics of high engineering precision in the reliability-based robust design of mechanical structure.

Abstract: To model and analyze systems with multi-valued information, in this paper, we present an extension of Kripke structures in the framework of complete residuted lattices, which we will refer to as lattice-valued Kripke structures (LKSs). We then show how the traditional trace containment and equivalence relations, can be lifted to the lattice-valued setting, and we introduce two families of lattice-valued versions of the relations. Further, we explore some interesting properties of these relations. Finally, we provide logical characterizations of our relations by a natural extension of linear temporal logic.
Abstract: A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pseudomonas sp. R1), which can efficiently decolorize reactive red X-3B, was isolated from activated sludge in a dye plant, and the decolorizing mechanism was explored in this paper. The result shows that Pseudomonas sp. R1 has very good capability for decolorization of reactive red X-3B and the decolorization rate is increased by 9.1% after optimization of the experimental parameters, which means that 89.6% of the reactive red can be removed. Investigation on decolorization mechanism showed that the decolorizing capability of Pseudomonassp. R1 was significantly affected after plasmids in Pseudomonassp. R1 were eliminated by acridine orange…(AO). Meanwhile, E. coli DH5a could gain decolorizing capability after transformed with the plasmids. Plasmid elimination and transformation tests proved that the decolorizing gene in Pseudomonas sp. R1 exists in the plasmid.

Abstract: Attention mechanisms are widely used on NLP tasks and show strong performance in modeling local/global dependencies. Directional self-attention network shows the competitive performance on various datasets, but it not considers the reverse information of a sentence. In this paper, we propose the Multiway Dynamic Mask attention Network (MDMAN). The model has two modules: a dynamic mask selector and a multi-attention encoder. The dynamic mask selector chooses high-quality reverse information with reinforcement learning and feeds reverse information to multi-attention encoder, the multi-attention encoder uses four attention functions to match the word in the same sentence at different token level, then combine…the information from all functions to obtain the final representation. Our experiments performed on two publicly available NLI datasets show that MDMAN achieves significant improvement over DSAN.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted therapy (RT) has become a promising stroke rehabilitation intervention. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of short-term upper limb RT on the rehabilitation of sub-acute stroke patients. METHODS: Subjects were randomly assigned to the RT group (n = 23) or conventional rehabilitation (CR) group (n = 22). All subjects received conventional rehabilitation therapy for 30 minutes twice a day, for 2 weeks. In addition, the RT group received RT for 30 minutes twice a day, for 2 weeks. The outcomes before treatment (T0) and at 2 weeks (T1) and 1 month follow-up (T2) were evaluated in the patients using…the upper limb motor function test of the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) the Motricity Index (MI), the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and the Barthel Index (BI). RESULTS: There were significant improvements in motor function scales (P < 0.001 for FMA and MI) and activities of daily living (P < 0.001 for FIM and BI) but without muscle tone (MAS, P > 0.05) in the RT and CR groups. Compared to the CR group, the RT group showed improvements in motor function and activities of daily living (P < 0.05 for FMA, MI, FIM, BI) at T1 and T2. There was no significant difference between the two groups in muscle tone (MAS, P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: RT may be a useful tool for sub-acute stroke patients’ rehabilitation.
