Abstract This study employed a longitudinal approach to investigate how positive feedback and social support mediate the connection between active social network use and feelings of loneliness. A total of 811 college students (females = 58.20%, M_age = 19.15, SD = 0.99) participated in this research study. At T1 time point, students completed the Active SNS Questionnaire. At T2 time point, students completed the online versions of the Positive Feedback Scale, Perceived Social Support Multidimensional Scale, and UCLA Loneliness Scale. T2 online positive feedback influences how T1 actively uses their social network, which relates to T2 loneliness, More >

Abstract Quality of Service (QoS) assurance in programmable IoT and 5G networks is increasingly threatened by cyberattacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), spoofing, and botnet intrusions. This paper presents AutoSHARC, a feedback-driven, explainable intrusion detection framework that integrates Boruta and LightGBM–SHAP feature selection with a lightweight CNN–Attention–GRU classifier. AutoSHARC employs a two-stage feature selection pipeline to identify the most informative features from high-dimensional IoT traffic and reduces 46 features to 30 highly informative ones, followed by post-hoc SHAP-guided retraining to refine feature importance, forming a feedback loop where only the most impactful attributes are More >

Abstract Background: U2AF homology motif kinase 1 (UHMK1) has been associated with RNA processing and protein phosphorylation, thereby influencing tumor progression. The study aimed to explore its regulatory mechanisms and biological functions in human prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: In this study, we systematically evaluated the expression and prognostic significance of UHMK1 in public databases, followed by validation through immunohistochemistry (IHC) in PCa specimens. Both gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments were conducted to elucidate the role of UHMK1 in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, a series of molecular and biochemical assays were performed to investigate the regulatory mechanisms underlying UHMK1… More >

Abstract Coronary artery disease is a highly lethal cardiovascular condition, making early diagnosis crucial for patients. Echocardiograph is employed to identify coronary heart disease (CHD). However, due to issues such as fuzzy object boundaries, complex tissue structures, and motion artifacts in ultrasound images, it is challenging to detect CHD accurately. This paper proposes an improved Transformer model based on the Feedback Self-Attention Mechanism (FSAM) for classification of ultrasound images. The model enhances attention weights, making it easier to capture complex features. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves high levels of accuracy, recall, precision, F1 More >

Abstract The burgeoning e-commerce industry has made online customer reviews a crucial source of feedback for businesses. Sentiment analysis, a technique used to extract subjective information from text, has become essential for understanding consumer sentiment and preferences. However, traditional sentiment analysis methods often struggle with the nuances and context of natural language. To address these issues, this study proposes a comparison of deep learning models that figure out the optimal method to accurately analyze consumer reviews on women's clothing. CNNs excel at capturing local features and semantic information, while LSTMs are adept at handling long-range dependencies… More >

Abstract To address the issue of coordinated control of multiple hydrogen and battery storage units to suppress the grid-injected power deviation of wind farms, an online optimization strategy for Battery-hydrogen hybrid energy storage systems based on measurement feedback is proposed. First, considering the high charge/discharge losses of hydrogen storage and the low energy density of battery storage, an operational optimization objective is established to enable adaptive energy adjustment in the Battery-hydrogen hybrid energy storage system. Next, an online optimization model minimizing the operational cost of the hybrid system is constructed to suppress grid-injected power deviations with… More >

Abstract At present, salient object detection (SOD) has achieved considerable progress. However, the methods that perform well still face the issue of inadequate detection accuracy. For example, sometimes there are problems of missed and false detections. Effectively optimizing features to capture key information and better integrating different levels of features to enhance their complementarity are two significant challenges in the domain of SOD. In response to these challenges, this study proposes a novel SOD method based on multi-strategy feature optimization. We propose the multi-size feature extraction module (MSFEM), which uses the attention mechanism, the multi-level feature… More >

Abstract As the penetration rate of distributed energy increases, the transient power angle stability problem of the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) has gradually become prominent. In view of the situation that the grid impedance ratio (R/X) is high and affects the transient power angle stability of VSG, this paper proposes a VSG transient power angle stability control strategy based on the combination of frequency difference feedback and virtual impedance. To improve the transient power angle stability of the VSG, a virtual impedance is adopted in the voltage loop to adjust the impedance ratio R/X; and the… More >

Abstract The rapid development of short video platforms poses new challenges for traditional recommendation systems. Recommender systems typically depend on two types of user behavior feedback to construct user interest profiles: explicit feedback (interactive behavior), which significantly influences users’ short-term interests, and implicit feedback (viewing time), which substantially affects their long-term interests. However, the previous model fails to distinguish between these two feedback methods, leading it to predict only the overall preferences of users based on extensive historical behavior sequences. Consequently, it cannot differentiate between users’ long-term and short-term interests, resulting in low accuracy in describing… More >
