基于差异信息量的多源数据融合方法

D-S证据理论可应用于多源数据融合领域，但在处理高度冲突的证据时，可能会出现反直觉的结果.为解决这一问题，本文提出了差异信息量的概念及融合方法.首先，通过信息熵表明证据的相对重要性，采用散度获取证据可信度.然后利用证据可信度优化证据差异度以得到差异信息量，经过计算获取数据的最终权重，并将其作为D-S证据理论中的基本概率分配进行决策.在处理冲突证据、一致证据及不同数量证据等方面的数据融合问题时与其他方法对比，所提方法收敛更快，准确度更高.故障诊断的应用实例表明，所提方法的不确定性更小，优于现存的其他方法.     

全球大地震破裂空间复杂度特征研究

基于有限断层反演得到的滑移数据, 用独立滑移单元的数量表征地震破裂复杂度, 据此对大地震破裂进行分组, 并研究破裂复杂度与主要震源参数之间的关系, 探讨破裂复杂度的全球及区域空间分布特征。结果表明, 矩震级很大(Mw ≥ 8.5)的事件, 地震破裂复杂度更大; 破裂复杂度较高的地震分布在浅层地壳(≤ 30 km)内的概率最大, 随着震源深度增加, 破裂复杂度对震源深度的敏感性逐渐消失; 走滑断层机制占比较大的事件, 破裂复杂度较高; 破裂复杂度与地震能矩比没有明确的关系; 破裂复杂度的空间分布特征与区域地质构造环境相关。破裂复杂度的空间分布特征可以分为3类, 第一类是板块之间简单碰撞产生的俯冲带, 板块交界处的滑动速率和方向较为一致, 这种情形下以比较简单的事件类型为主; 第二类是多板块交界处, 或者板块交界处的滑动速率和方向在整个区域内存在差异; 第三类是大陆内部的强烈挤压地带。与第一类空间分布特征相比, 第二类和第三类情形下破裂复杂度相对更高。地震破裂复杂度可以在一定程度上反映区域应力场的复杂性。

Defining G protein-coupled receptor peptide ligand expressomes and signalomes in human and mouse islets

Introduction

Islets synthesise and secrete numerous peptides, some of which are known to be important regulators of islet function and glucose homeostasis. In this study, we quantified mRNAs encoding all peptide ligands of islet G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in isolated human and mouse islets and carried out in vitro islet hormone secretion studies to provide functional confirmation for the species-specific role of peptide YY (PYY) in mouse islets.

Materials and methods

GPCR peptide ligand mRNAs in human and mouse islets were quantified by quantitative real-time PCR relative to the reference genes ACTB, GAPDH, PPIA, TBP and TFRC. The pathways connecting GPCR peptide ligands with their receptors were identified by manual searches in the PubMed, IUPHAR and Ingenuity databases. Distribution of PYY protein in mouse and human islets was determined by immunohistochemistry. Insulin, glucagon and somatostatin secretion from islets was measured by radioimmunoassay.

Results

We have quantified GPCR peptide ligand mRNA expression in human and mouse islets and created specific signalomes mapping the pathways by which islet peptide ligands regulate human and mouse GPCR signalling. We also identified species-specific islet expression of several GPCR ligands. In particular, PYY mRNA levels were ~ 40,000-fold higher in mouse than human islets, suggesting a more important role of locally secreted Pyy in mouse islets. This was confirmed by IHC and functional experiments measuring insulin, glucagon and somatostatin secretion.

Discussion

The detailed human and mouse islet GPCR peptide ligand atlases will allow accurate translation of mouse islet functional studies for the identification of GPCR/peptide signalling pathways relevant for human physiology, which may lead to novel treatment modalities of diabetes and metabolic disease.

     

Uncoupled PID Control of Coupled Multi-Agent Nonlinear Uncertain systems

In this paper, PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controllers will be designed to solve the tracking problem for a class of coupled multi-agent systems, where each agent is described by a second-order high-dimensional nonlinear uncertain dynamical system, which only has access to its own tracking error information and does not need to communicate with others. This paper will show that a 3-dimensional manifold can be constructed based on the information about the Lipschitz constants of the system nonlinear dynamics, such that whenever the three parameters of each PID controller are chosen from the manifold, the whole multi-agent system can be stabilized globally and the tracking error of each agent approaches to zero asymptotically. For a class of coupled first-order multi-agent nonlinear uncertain systems, a PI controller will be designed to stabilize the whole system.     

A Novel Routing Method for Social Delay-Tolerant Networks

The lack of continuous connectivity and a complete path from source to destination makes node communication quite difficult in Delay-Tolerant Networks(DTNs). Most studies focus on routing problems in idealized network environments without considering social properties. Communication devices are carried by individuals in many DTNs; therefore, DTNs are unique social networks to some extent. To design efficient routing protocols for DTNs, it is important to analyze their social properties. In this paper, a more accurate and comprehensive metric for detecting the quality of the relationships between nodes is proposed, by considering the contact time, contact frequency, and contact regularity. An overlapping hierarchical community detection method is designed based on this new metric, and a tree structure is built. Furthermore, we exploit the overlapping community structure and the tree structure to provide message-forwarding paths from the source node to the destination node.The simulation results show that our Routing method based on Overlapping hierarchical Community Detection(ROCD) achieves better delivery rate than SimBet and Bubble Rap, the classic routing protocols, without affecting the average delay.
