Attack and Defense Strategies in Complex Networks Based on Game Theory

To investigate the attack and defense strategies in complex networks, the authors propose a two-player zero-sum static game model with complete information which considers attack and defense strategies simultaneously. The authors assume that both the attacker and defender have two typical strategies: Targeted strategy and random strategy. The authors explore the Nash equilibriums of the attacker-defender game and demonstrate that when the attacker's attack resources are not so significantly abundant as the defender's resources, there exists a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium in both model networks and real-world networks, in which the defender protects the hub targets with large degrees preferentially, while the attacker prefers selecting the targets randomly. When the attack resources are much higher than defense resources, both the attacker and the defender adopt the targeted strategy in equilibriums. This paper provides a new theoretical framework for the study of attack and defense strategies in complex networks.     

Synthesis and Largely Enhanced Nonlinear Refraction of Au@Cu_2O Core-Shell Nanorods

Au@Cu_2O core-shell nanorods with tunable thickness of Cu_2O shell were synthesized and their linear and nonlinear optical responses were investigated. Two transverse plasmon resonance peaks were observed when the Au nanorods were coated with Cu_2O shells, which were adjusted by the Cu_2O shell thickness. The nonlinear absorption of the Au@Cu_2O nanorods is enhanced by 5 times at the longitudinal plasmon resonance wavelength compared with that of bare Au nanorods. More intriguingly, largely enhanced nonlinear refraction and suppressed nonlinear absorption at the transverse plasmon resonance wavelength were observed in the Au@Cu_2O nanorods. Our findings indicate the existence of strong local field enhancement at the interface between the Au core and the Cu_2O shell, which would provide a promising strategy in designing plasmonic nonlinear nanodevices with good nonlinear figures of merit.     

纯黏土与砂-黏土混合物渗透特性差异及机理分析

根据重塑纯黏土和砂-黏土混合物试样的室内固结试验结果,反演了渗透系数,探讨了纯黏土和砂-黏土混合物的渗透特性差异.试验结果表明:常用于评价纯黏土渗透性状的归一化指标e/eL(孔隙比与液限状态孔隙比的比值)能拓展运用于砂-黏土混合物中,但e/eL与渗透系数之间呈现非线性关系,这显著不同于纯黏土的线性关系,其本质原因在于混合物在压缩过程中形成了砂骨架.骨架形成前,纯黏土和砂-黏土混合物的e/eL与渗透系数的2条关系曲线吻合良好,而在骨架形成后,两者的关系曲线存在明显的差异;引入砂-黏土混合物四相体系,从黏土孔隙比和砂孔隙比的角度阐述了砂骨架的形成机制,且对两者渗透性状的差异性进行了详细的机理解释;最后给出了一种可以预测纯黏土和砂-黏土混合物渗透系数的经验公式.     

Investigation of College Students’ Mental Health Status via Semantic Analysis of Sina Microblog

The objective of this study is to understand the current mental status of college students in mainland China. In this study, 60 thousand college students' microblog content from January 2014 to June 2014 was collected. An emotional energy level, which was developed by a psychologist David R Hawkins, was taken as a basis for ontology database to divide the student's emotion into three parts—positive, negative and neutral status. An ontology-based semantic analysis method was used to analyze the microblog data. The result shows that 46.38% of Sina microblog data reflects positive psychological status, and the ratios of neutral and negative psychological status are 19.77% and 33.85%, respectively. It means that almost one third microblog reflects some negative mentality. The semantic analysis of the big data suggests that most students have healthy mental status, and the negative status of the students should not be ignored.

耕作过程中保持耕深稳定是提高耕作质量的重要措施之一.以小型耕耘机的后悬挂旋耕部件为研究对象,提出了一种基于积分分离式PID控制的耕深自动测量和调节的系统,采用双倾角传感器检测耕深,消除了田块自身与绝对水平面倾角的误差影响,通过在误差信号的处理中使用积分分离式PID控制算法,利用Simulink中的SimHydraulic模块对耕深控制系统进行动态仿真研究,与未加入PID控制算法时的仿真结果进行比较,发现几乎消除了系统的耕深超调现象.同时,将响应时间由4.0s左右缩短到1.4s左右,使耕深控制系统的动态响应达到较好的效果.田间试验结果表明,当耕深设定为10cm和16cm时,实测耕深稳定性变异系数分别为6.05%和3.54%,均低于10%,达到了农业机械作业标准所规定的旋耕作业农艺要求.     

Blockage of the NLRP3 inflammasome by MCC950 improves anti-tumor immune responses in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a critical innate immune pathway responsible for producing active interleukin (IL)-1β, which is associated with tumor development and immunity. However, the mechanisms regulating the inflammatory microenvironment, tumorigenesis and tumor immunity are unclear. Herein, we show that the NLRP3 inflammasome was over-expressed in human HNSCC tissues and that the IL-1β concentration was increased in the peripheral blood of HNSCC patients. Additionally, elevated NLRP3 inflammasome levels were detected in tumor tissues of Tgfbr1/Pten 2cKO HNSCC mice, and elevated IL-1β levels were detected in the peripheral blood serum, spleen, draining lymph nodes and tumor tissues. Blocking NLRP3 inflammasome activation using MCC950 remarkably reduced IL-1β production in an HNSCC mouse model and reduced the numbers of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), regulatory T cells (Tregs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Moreover, inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation increased the numbers of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in HNSCC mice. Notably, the numbers of exhausted PD-1⁺ and Tim3⁺ T cells were significantly reduced. A human HNSCC tissue microarray showed that NLRP3 inflammasome expression was correlated with the expression of CD8 and CD4, the Treg marker Foxp3, the MDSC markers CD11b and CD33, and the TAM markers CD68 and CD163, PD-1 and Tim3. Overall, our results demonstrate that the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β pathway promotes tumorigenesis in HNSCC and inactivation of this pathway delays tumor growth, accompanied by decreased immunosuppressive cell accumulation and an increased number of effector T cells. Thus, inhibition of the tumor microenvironment through the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β pathway may provide a novel approach for HNSCC therapy.
