New Lyapunov-Krasovskii Functional for Stability Analysis of Linear Systems with Time-Varying Delay

This paper focuses on the problem of delay-dependent stability of linear systems with time-varying delay. A new delay-product-type augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional(LKF) is constructed. Based on the LKF and by employing a generalized free-matrix-based integral inequality,less conservative delay-dependent stability criteria are obtained. Finally, two well-known numerical examples are used to confirm the effectiveness and the superiority of the presented stability criteria.     

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.     

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.     

远距离支援干扰下双隐身飞机自卫相参干扰对单脉冲雷达影响

以复杂电磁环境下双隐身飞机自卫相参干扰对抗单脉冲雷达为研究背景,针对单脉冲雷达角欺骗问题,提出了远距离多假目标干扰下双隐身飞机自卫相参干扰模型。首先构建双隐身飞机姿态敏感性模型,提取即时雷达散射截面序列,依据目标回波与干扰信号对应关系,建立复合等效信干比模型。在此基础上,采用脱靶与有效干扰最小即时距离对双机干扰模式下雷达角跟踪误差形成评判指标。仿真表明，该组网干扰模式使雷达角跟踪误差提高696.49倍,比单一干扰模式使单脉冲雷达角跟踪误差平均提高1.07倍,检验了组网复合相参干扰样式的有效性。

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.
