By incorporating general relativistic effects into complexity theory through a gravitational correction factor, we prove that problems can transition between complexity classes depending on the observer’s reference frame and local gravitational environment. This insight emerges from recognizing that the definition of polynomial time implicitly assumes a universal time metric, an assumption that breaks down in curved spacetime due to gravitational time dilation. We demonstrate the existence of gravitational phase transitions in problem complexity, where an NP-complete problem in one reference frame becomes polynomially solvable in another frame experiencing extreme gravitational time dilation. Through rigorous mathematical formulation, we establish a gravitationally modified complexity theory that extends classical complexity classes to incorporate observer-dependent effects, leading to a complete framework for understanding how computational complexity transforms across different spacetime reference frames. This finding parallels other self-referential insights in mathematics and physics, such as Gödel’s incompleteness theorems and Einstein’s relativity, suggesting a deeper connection between computation, gravitation, and the nature of mathematical truth.展开更多

However, limited knowledge exists regarding projects’ operational risks and mitigation strategies during the funding phase. In contributing to the literature, the study uses data on Kickstarter.com and conducts a content analysis to explore themes and their relationships.

It examines the effects on their physiological and psychological responses and overall satisfaction with nursing care. Methods: A total of 84 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were selected through convenient sampling and randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group using a random number table. Each group consisted of 42 patients. The control group received standard surgical nursing care. In addition to standard care, the intervention group received handshake and information support from the circulating nurse before anesthesia induction. Vital signs were recorded before surgery and before anesthesia induction. Anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the State-Anxiety Inventory (S-AI), while nursing satisfaction was assessed using a numerical rating scale. Results: No significant differences were found between the two groups in systolic and diastolic blood pressures before surgery and anesthesia induction (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in heart rate before anesthesia induction (P Conclusion: Providing handshake and information support before anesthesia induction effectively reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, and enhances comfort and satisfaction among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.展开更多

These in...The Internet of Things (IoT) and edge-assisted networking infrastructures are capable of bringing data processing and accessibility services locally at the respective edge rather than at a centralized module. These infrastructures are very effective in providing a fast response to the respective queries of the requesting modules, but their distributed nature has introduced other problems such as security and privacy. To address these problems, various security-assisted communication mechanisms have been developed to safeguard every active module, i.e., devices and edges, from every possible vulnerability in the IoT. However, these methodologies have neglected one of the critical issues, which is the prediction of fraudulent devices, i.e., adversaries, preferably as early as possible in the IoT. In this paper, a hybrid communication mechanism is presented where the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) predicts the legitimacy of the requesting device (both source and destination), and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) safeguards the reliability of the transmitted data over a shared communication medium, preferably through a secret shared key, i.e., , and timestamp information. A device becomes trusted if it has passed both evaluation levels, i.e., HMM and message decryption, within a stipulated time interval. The proposed hybrid, along with existing state-of-the-art approaches, has been simulated in the realistic environment of the IoT to verify the security measures. These evaluations were carried out in the presence of intruders capable of launching various attacks simultaneously, such as man-in-the-middle, device impersonations, and masquerading attacks. Moreover, the proposed approach has been proven to be more effective than existing state-of-the-art approaches due to its exceptional performance in communication, processing, and storage overheads, i.e., 13%, 19%, and 16%, respectively. Finally, the proposed hybrid approach is pruned against well-known security attacks in the IoT.展开更多

文摘In this paper the authors consider the operational problem of optimal signalling and control,called control-coding capacity(with feedback),C_(FB) in bits/second,of discrete-time nonlinear partially observable stochastic systems in state space form,subject to an average cost constraint.C_(FB) is the maximum rate of encoding signals or messages into randomized controller-encoder strategies with feedback,which control the state of the system,and reproducing the messages at the output of the system using a decoder or estimator with arbitrary small asymptotic error probability.In the first part of the paper,the authors characterize C_(FB) by an information theoretic optimization problem of maximizing directed information from the inputs to the outputs of the system,over randomized strategies(controller-encoders).The authors derive equivalent characterizations of C_(FB),using randomized strategies generated by either uniform or arbitrary distributed random variables(RVs),sufficient statistics,and a posteriori distributions of nonlinear filtering theory.In the second part of the paper,the authors analyze C_(FB) for linear-quadratic Gaussian partially observable stochastic systems(LQG-POSSs).The authors show that randomized strategies consist of control,estimation and signalling parts,and the sufficient statistics are,two Kalman-filters and an orthogonal innovations process.The authors prove a semi-separation principle which states,the optimal control strategy is determined explicitly from the solution of a control matrix difference Riccati equation(DRE),independently of the estimation and signalling strategies.Finally,the authors express the optimization problem of C_(FB) in terms of two filtering matrix DREs,a control matrix DRE,and the covariance of the innovations process.Throughout the paper,the authors illustrate that the expression of C_(FB) includes as degenerate cases,problems of stochastic optimal control and channel capacity of information transmission.

文摘Changing a person’s posture and low resolution are the key challenges for person re-identification(ReID)in various deep learning applications.In this paper,we introduce an innovative architecture using a dual attention network that includes an attentionmodule and a joint measurement module of spatial-temporal information.The proposed approach can be classified into two main tasks.Firstly,the spatial attention feature map is formed by aggregating features in the spatial dimension.Additionally,the same operation is carried out on the channel dimension to formchannel attention featuremaps.Therefore,the receptive field size is adjusted adaptively tomitigate the changing person posture issue.Secondly,we use a joint measurement method for the spatial-temporal information to fully harness the data,and it can also naturally integrate the information into the visual features of supervised ReID and hence overcome the low resolution problem.The experimental results indicate that our proposed algorithm markedly improves the accuracy in addressing changing human postures and low-resolution issues compared with contemporary leading techniques.The proposed method shows superior outcomes on widely recognized benchmarks,which are the Market-1501,MSMT17,and DukeMTMC-reID datasets.Furthermore,the proposed algorithmattains a Rank-1 accuracy of 97.4% and 94.9% mAP(mean Average Precision)on the Market-1501 dataset.Moreover,it achieves a 94.2% Rank-1 accuracy and 91.8% mAP on the DukeMTMC-reID dataset.

文摘Climate downscaling is used to transform large-scale meteorological data into small-scale data with enhanced detail,which finds wide applications in climate modeling,numerical weather forecasting,and renewable energy.Although deeplearning-based downscaling methods effectively capture the complex nonlinear mapping between meteorological data of varying scales,the supervised deep-learning-based downscaling methods suffer from insufficient high-resolution data in practice,and unsupervised methods struggle with accurately inferring small-scale specifics from limited large-scale inputs due to small-scale uncertainty.This article presents DualDS,a dual-learning framework utilizing a Generative Adversarial Network–based neural network and subgrid-scale auxiliary information for climate downscaling.Such a learning method is unified in a two-stream framework through up-and downsamplers,where the downsampler is used to simulate the information loss process during the upscaling,and the upsampler is used to reconstruct lost details and correct errors incurred during the upscaling.This dual learning strategy can eliminate the dependence on high-resolution ground truth data in the training process and refine the downscaling results by constraining the mapping process.Experimental findings demonstrate that DualDS is comparable to several state-of-the-art deep learning downscaling approaches,both qualitatively and quantitatively.Specifically,for a single surface-temperature data downscaling task,our method is comparable with other unsupervised algorithms with the same dataset,and we can achieve a 0.469 dB higher peak signal-to-noise ratio,0.017 higher structural similarity,0.08 lower RMSE,and the best correlation coefficient.In summary,this paper presents a novel approach to addressing small-scale uncertainty issues in unsupervised downscaling processes.

文摘This paper selects the Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR)index from Hexun.com(2010–2020)and the stock price crash index of China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from the China Stock Market&Accounting Research Database(CSMAR)for empirical analysis.By examining the impact of CSR performance on stock price crash risk,this study identifies key relationships and further investigates the moderating role of media promotion and communication as an intermediary to explore the transmission mechanisms and influence between the two.The empirical results indicate that CSR performance is significantly negatively correlated with stock price crash risk,suggesting that strong CSR performance can effectively reduce the likelihood of a stock price crash.Furthermore,additional analysis reveals that media plays a moderating role in the relationship between CSR performance and stock price crash risk.This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the formation mechanisms and analytical paradigms of factors influencing stock price crash risk while providing theoretical support and reference value for risk prevention strategies.

文摘Objective: This study evaluates the impact of handshake and information support on patients’ outcomes during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It examines the effects on their physiological and psychological responses and overall satisfaction with nursing care. Methods: A total of 84 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were selected through convenient sampling and randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group using a random number table. Each group consisted of 42 patients. The control group received standard surgical nursing care. In addition to standard care, the intervention group received handshake and information support from the circulating nurse before anesthesia induction. Vital signs were recorded before surgery and before anesthesia induction. Anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the State-Anxiety Inventory (S-AI), while nursing satisfaction was assessed using a numerical rating scale. Results: No significant differences were found between the two groups in systolic and diastolic blood pressures before surgery and anesthesia induction (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in heart rate before anesthesia induction (P Conclusion: Providing handshake and information support before anesthesia induction effectively reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, and enhances comfort and satisfaction among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

文摘The security of information transmission and processing due to unknown vulnerabilities and backdoors in cyberspace is becoming increasingly problematic.However,there is a lack of effective theory to mathematically demonstrate the security of information transmission and processing under nonrandom noise(or vulnerability backdoor attack)conditions in cyberspace.This paper first proposes a security model for cyberspace information transmission and processing channels based on error correction coding theory.First,we analyze the fault tolerance and non-randomness problem of Dynamic Heterogeneous Redundancy(DHR)structured information transmission and processing channel under the condition of non-random noise or attacks.Secondly,we use a mathematical statistical method to demonstrate that for non-random noise(or attacks)on discrete memory channels,there exists a DHR-structured channel and coding scheme that enables the average system error probability to be arbitrarily small.Finally,to construct suitable coding and heterogeneous channels,we take Turbo code as an example and simulate the effects of different heterogeneity,redundancy,output vector length,verdict algorithm and dynamism on the system,which is an important guidance for theory and engineering practice.

文摘The Internet of Things (IoT) and edge-assisted networking infrastructures are capable of bringing data processing and accessibility services locally at the respective edge rather than at a centralized module. These infrastructures are very effective in providing a fast response to the respective queries of the requesting modules, but their distributed nature has introduced other problems such as security and privacy. To address these problems, various security-assisted communication mechanisms have been developed to safeguard every active module, i.e., devices and edges, from every possible vulnerability in the IoT. However, these methodologies have neglected one of the critical issues, which is the prediction of fraudulent devices, i.e., adversaries, preferably as early as possible in the IoT. In this paper, a hybrid communication mechanism is presented where the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) predicts the legitimacy of the requesting device (both source and destination), and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) safeguards the reliability of the transmitted data over a shared communication medium, preferably through a secret shared key, i.e., , and timestamp information. A device becomes trusted if it has passed both evaluation levels, i.e., HMM and message decryption, within a stipulated time interval. The proposed hybrid, along with existing state-of-the-art approaches, has been simulated in the realistic environment of the IoT to verify the security measures. These evaluations were carried out in the presence of intruders capable of launching various attacks simultaneously, such as man-in-the-middle, device impersonations, and masquerading attacks. Moreover, the proposed approach has been proven to be more effective than existing state-of-the-art approaches due to its exceptional performance in communication, processing, and storage overheads, i.e., 13%, 19%, and 16%, respectively. Finally, the proposed hybrid approach is pruned against well-known security attacks in the IoT.
