Supply Chain Network Security Investment Strategies Based on Nonlinear Budget Constraints: The Moderating Roles of Market Share and Attack Risk

In the context of the rapid development of digital supply chain networks, dealing with the increasing cybersecurity threats and formulating effective security investment strategies to defend against cyberattack risks are the core issues in supply chain management. Cybersecurity investment decision-making is a key strategic task in enterprise supply chain manage-ment. Traditional game theory models and linear programming methods make it challenging to deal with complex problems such as multi-party par-ticipation in the supply chain, resource constraints, and risk uncertainty, re-sulting in enterprises facing high risks and uncertainties in the field of cy-bersecurity. To effectively meet this challenge, this study proposes a nonlin-ear budget-constrained cybersecurity investment optimization model based on variational inequality and projection shrinkage algorithm. This method simulates the impact of market competition on security investment by intro-ducing market share variables, combining variational inequality and projec-tion shrinkage algorithm to solve the model, and analyzing the effect of dif-ferent variables such as budget constraints, cyberattack losses, and market share on supply chain network security. In numerical analysis, the model achieved high cybersecurity levels of 0.96 and 0.95 in the experimental sce-narios of two retailers and two demand markets, respectively, and the budget constraint analysis revealed the profound impact of budget constraints on cybersecurity investment. Through numerical experiments and comparative analysis, the effectiveness and operability of this method in improving sup-ply chain network security are verified.

FAST drift scan survey for HI intensity mapping: simulation on Bayesian-stacking-based HI mass function estimation

This study investigates the estimation of the neutral hydrogen (HI) mass function (HIMF) using a Bayesian stacking approach with simulated data for the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) HI intensity mapping (HIIM) drift-scan surveys. Using data from the IllustrisTNG simulation, we construct HI sky cubes at redshift $z\sim0.1$ and the corresponding optical galaxy catalogs, simulating FAST observations under various survey strategies, including pilot, deep-field, and ultradeep-field surveys. The HIMF is measured for distinct galaxy populations -- classified by optical properties into red, blue, and bluer galaxies -- and injected with systematic effects such as observational noise and flux confusion caused by the FAST beam. The results show that Bayesian stacking significantly enhances HIMF measurements. For red and blue galaxies, the HIMF can be well constrained with pilot surveys, while deeper surveys are required for the bluer galaxy population. Our analysis also reveals that sample variance dominates over observational noise, emphasizing the importance of wide-field surveys to improve constraints. Furthermore, flux confusion shifts the HIMF toward higher masses, which we address using a transfer function for correction. Finally, we explore the effects of intrinsic sample incompleteness and propose a framework to quantify its impact. This work lays the groundwork for future \hiMF studies with FAST HIIM, addressing key challenges and enabling robust analyses of HI content across galaxy populations.

Few-shot Open Relation Extraction with Gaussian Prototype and Adaptive Margin

Few-shot relation extraction with none-of-the-above (FsRE with NOTA) aims at predicting labels in few-shot scenarios with unknown classes. FsRE with NOTA is more challenging than the conventional few-shot relation extraction task, since the boundaries of unknown classes are complex and difficult to learn. Meta-learning based methods, especially prototype-based methods, are the mainstream solutions to this task. They obtain the classification boundary by learning the sample distribution of each class. However, their performance is limited because few-shot overfitting and NOTA boundary confusion lead to misclassification between known and unknown classes. To this end, we propose a novel framework based on Gaussian prototype and adaptive margin named GPAM for FsRE with NOTA, which includes three modules, semi-factual representation, GMM-prototype metric learning and decision boundary learning. The first two modules obtain better representations to solve the few-shot problem through debiased information enhancement and Gaussian space distance measurement. The third module learns more accurate classification boundaries and prototypes through adaptive margin and negative sampling. In the training procedure of GPAM, we use contrastive learning loss to comprehensively consider the effects of range and margin on the classification of known and unknown classes to ensure the model's stability and robustness. Sufficient experiments and ablations on the FewRel dataset show that GPAM surpasses previous prototype methods and achieves state-of-the-art performance.

PneumoLLM: Harnessing the Power of Large Language Model for Pneumoconiosis Diagnosis

The conventional pretraining-and-finetuning paradigm, while effective for common diseases with ample data, faces challenges in diagnosing data-scarce occupational diseases like pneumoconiosis. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have exhibits unprecedented ability when conducting multiple tasks in dialogue, bringing opportunities to diagnosis. A common strategy might involve using adapter layers for vision-language alignment and diagnosis in a dialogic manner. Yet, this approach often requires optimization of extensive learnable parameters in the text branch and the dialogue head, potentially diminishing the LLMs' efficacy, especially with limited training data. In our work, we innovate by eliminating the text branch and substituting the dialogue head with a classification head. This approach presents a more effective method for harnessing LLMs in diagnosis with fewer learnable parameters. Furthermore, to balance the retention of detailed image information with progression towards accurate diagnosis, we introduce the contextual multi-token engine. This engine is specialized in adaptively generating diagnostic tokens. Additionally, we propose the information emitter module, which unidirectionally emits information from image tokens to diagnosis tokens. Comprehensive experiments validate the superiority of our methods and the effectiveness of proposed modules. Our codes can be found at https://github.com/CodeMonsterPHD/PneumoLLM/tree/main.

Forecast of foreground cleaning strategies for AliCPT-1

We report the test results of several independent foreground-cleaning pipelines used in the Ali CMB Polarization Telescope experiment (AliCPT-1), a high-altitude CMB imager in the Northern hemisphere with thousands of detectors dedicated to the search for a primordial CMB polarization $B$-mode signature. Based on simulated data from 4 detector modules and a single season of observation, which we refer to as Data Challenge 1 (DC1), we employ different and independent pipelines to examine the robustness and effectiveness of the estimates on foreground parameters and the primordial $B$-mode detection. The foreground-cleaning strategies used in the pipelines include the parametric method of template fitting (TF) and the non-parametric methods of the constrained internal linear combination (cILC), the analytical blind separation (ABS), and the generalized least squares (GLS). We examine the impact of possible foreground residuals on the estimate of the CMB tensor-to-scalar ratio ($r$) for each pipeline by changing the contamination components in the simulated maps and varying the foreground models and sky patches for various tests. According to the DC1 data with the simulation input value $r_{\rm true}=0.023$, the foreground residual contamination levels in the TF/ABS/cILC/GLS pipelines are well within the corresponding statistical errors at the $2σ$ level. Furthermore, by utilizing the tension estimator, which helps identify significant residual foreground contamination in the detection of the primordial $B$-mode signal by quantifying the discrepancy between various $r$ measurements, we conclude that the presence of small foreground residuals does not lead to any significant inconsistency in the estimation of $r$.

Association schemes arising from non-weakly regular bent functions

Association schemes play an important role in algebraic combinatorics and have important applications in coding theory, graph theory and design theory. The methods to construct association schemes by using bent functions have been extensively studied. Recently, in [13], {Ö}zbudak and Pelen constructed infinite families of symmetric association schemes of classes $5$ and $6$ by using ternary non-weakly regular bent functions.They also stated that constructing $2p$-class association schemes from $p$-ary non-weakly regular bent functions is an interesting problem, where $p>3$ is an odd prime. In this paper, using non-weakly regular bent functions, we construct infinite families of symmetric association schemes of classes $2p$, $(2p+1)$ and $\frac{3p+1}{2}$ for any odd prime $p$. Fusing those association schemes, we also obtain $t$-class symmetric association schemes, where $t=4,5,6,7$. In addition, we give the sufficient and necessary conditions for the partitions $P$, $D$, $T$, $U$ and $V$ (defined in this paper) to induce symmetric association schemes.

GGAvatar: Geometric Adjustment of Gaussian Head Avatar

We propose GGAvatar, a novel 3D avatar representation designed to robustly model dynamic head avatars with complex identities and deformations. GGAvatar employs a coarse-to-fine structure, featuring two core modules: Neutral Gaussian Initialization Module and Geometry Morph Adjuster. Neutral Gaussian Initialization Module pairs Gaussian primitives with deformable triangular meshes, employing an adaptive density control strategy to model the geometric structure of the target subject with neutral expressions. Geometry Morph Adjuster introduces deformation bases for each Gaussian in global space, creating fine-grained low-dimensional representations of deformation behaviors to address the Linear Blend Skinning formula's limitations effectively. Extensive experiments show that GGAvatar can produce high-fidelity renderings, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in visual quality and quantitative metrics.

Asteroseismological analysis of the non-Blazhko RRab star EPIC~248846335 in LAMOST -- Kepler$/$ K2 project

We conduct an asteroseismological analysis on the non-Blazhko ab-type RR Lyrae star EPIC 248846335 employing the Radial Stellar Pulsations (RSP) module of the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) based on the set of stellar parameters. The atmospheric parameters as $T_\mathrm{eff}$ = 6933$\pm$70 $K$, log $g$ = 3.35$\pm$ 0.50 and [Fe/H] = -1.18 $\pm$ 0.14 are estimated from the Low-Resolution Spectra of LAMOST DR9. The luminosity $L$ = 49.70$_{-1.80}^{+2.99}$ $L_\odot$ and mass M = 0.56 $\pm$ 0.07 $M_\odot$ are calculated, respectively, using the distance provided by Gaia and the metallicity estimated from the Low-Resolution Spectra. The Fourier parameters of the light curves observed by $K2$ and RV curves determined from the Medium-Resolution Spectra of LAMOST DR10 are also calculated in this work. The period of the fundamental mode of the star and the residuals $r$ of the Fourier parameters between the models and observations serve to select optimal model, whose stellar parameters are $T_\mathrm{eff}$ = 6700 $\pm$ 220 K, log $g$ = 2.70, [Fe/H] = -1.20 $\pm$ 0.2, M = 0.59 $\pm$ 0.05 $M_\odot$, and $L$ = 56.0 $\pm$ 4.2 $L_\odot$. The projection factors are constrained as 1.20 $\pm$ 0.02 and 1.59 $\pm$ 0.13 by the blue- and red-arm observed velocities with their corresponding RV curves derived from the best-fit model, respectively. The precise determination of stellar parameters in ab-type RR Lyrae stars is crucial for understanding the physical processes that occur during pulsation and for providing a deeper understanding of its Period-Luminosity relationship.

Self-Orthogonal Codes from Vectorial Dual-Bent Functions

Self-orthogonal codes are a significant class of linear codes in coding theory and have attracted a lot of attention. In \cite{HLL2023Te,LH2023Se}, $p$-ary self-orthogonal codes were constructed by using $p$-ary weakly regular bent functions, where $p$ is an odd prime. In \cite{WH2023Se}, two classes of non-degenerate quadratic forms were used to construct $q$-ary self-orthogonal codes, where $q$ is a power of a prime. In this paper, we construct new families of $q$-ary self-orthogonal codes using vectorial dual-bent functions. Some classes of at least almost optimal linear codes are obtained from the dual codes of the constructed self-orthogonal codes. In some cases, we completely determine the weight distributions of the constructed self-orthogonal codes. From the view of vectorial dual-bent functions, we illustrate that the works on constructing self-orthogonal codes from $p$-ary weakly regular bent functions \cite{HLL2023Te,LH2023Se} and non-degenerate quadratic forms with $q$ being odd \cite{WH2023Se} can be obtained by our results. We partially answer an open problem on determining the weight distribution of a class of self-orthogonal codes given in \cite{LH2023Se}. As applications, we construct new infinite families of at least almost optimal $q$-ary linear complementary dual codes (for short, LCD codes) and quantum codes.

Research on Personal Credit Risk Assessment Methods Based on Causal Inference

The discussion on causality in human history dates back to ancient Greece, yet to this day, there is still no consensus. Fundamentally, this stems from the nature of human cognition, as understanding causality requires abstract tools to transcend the limitations of human cognition. In recent decades, the rapid development of mathematical and computational tools has provided new theoretical and technical means for exploring causality, creating more avenues for investigation. Based on this, this paper introduces a new definition of causality using category theory, proposed by Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders Mac Lane in 1945 to avoid the self-referential contradictions in set theory, notably the Russell paradox. Within this framework, the feasibility of indicator synthesis in causal inference is demonstrated. Due to the limitations in the development of category theory-related technical tools, this paper adopts the widely-used probabilistic causal graph tool proposed by Judea Pearl in 1995 to study the application of causal inference in personal credit risk management. The specific work includes: research on the construction method of causal inference index system, definition of causality and feasibility proof of indicator synthesis causal inference within this framework, application methods of causal graph model and intervention alternative criteria in personal credit risk management, and so on.

Flares hunting in hot subdwarf and white dwarf stars from Cycles 1-5 of TESS photometry

Stellar flares are critical phenomena on stellar surfaces, which are closely tied to stellar magnetism. While extensively studied in main-sequence (MS) stars, their occurrence in evolved compact stars, specifically hot subdwarfs and white dwarfs (WDs), remains scarcely explored. Based on Cycles 1-5 of TESS photometry, we conducted a pioneering survey of flare events in $\sim12,000$ compact stars, corresponding to $\sim38,000$ light curves with 2-minute cadence. Through dedicated techniques for detrending light curves, identifying preliminary flare candidates, and validating them via machine learning, we established a catalog of 1016 flares from 193 compact stars, including 182 from 58 sdB/sdO stars and 834 from 135 WDs, respectively. However, all flaring compact stars showed signs of contamination from nearby objects or companion stars, preventing sole attribution of the detected flares. For WDs, it is highly probable that the flares originated from their cool MS companions. In contrast, the higher luminosities of sdB/sdO stars diminish companion contributions, suggesting that detected flares originated from sdB/sdO stars themselves or through close magnetic interactions with companions. Focusing on a refined sample of 23 flares from 13 sdB/sdO stars, we found their flare frequency distributions were slightly divergent from those of cool MS stars; instead, they resemble those of hot B/A-type MS stars having radiative envelopes. This similarity implies the flares on sdB/sdO stars, if these flares did originate from them, may share underlying mechanisms with hot MS stars, which warrants further investigation.

Learning from Semi-Factuals: A Debiased and Semantic-Aware Framework for Generalized Relation Discovery

We introduce a novel task, called Generalized Relation Discovery (GRD), for open-world relation extraction. GRD aims to identify unlabeled instances in existing pre-defined relations or discover novel relations by assigning instances to clusters as well as providing specific meanings for these clusters. The key challenges of GRD are how to mitigate the serious model biases caused by labeled pre-defined relations to learn effective relational representations and how to determine the specific semantics of novel relations during classifying or clustering unlabeled instances. We then propose a novel framework, SFGRD, for this task to solve the above issues by learning from semi-factuals in two stages. The first stage is semi-factual generation implemented by a tri-view debiased relation representation module, in which we take each original sentence as the main view and design two debiased views to generate semi-factual examples for this sentence. The second stage is semi-factual thinking executed by a dual-space tri-view collaborative relation learning module, where we design a cluster-semantic space and a class-index space to learn relational semantics and relation label indices, respectively. In addition, we devise alignment and selection strategies to integrate two spaces and establish a self-supervised learning loop for unlabeled data by doing semi-factual thinking across three views. Extensive experimental results show that SFGRD surpasses state-of-the-art models in terms of accuracy by 2.36\% $\sim$5.78\% and cosine similarity by 32.19\%$\sim$ 84.45\% for relation label index and relation semantic quality, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to exploit the efficacy of semi-factuals in relation extraction.

Linear codes with few weights from non-weakly regular plateaued functions

Linear codes with few weights have significant applications in secret sharing schemes, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. There are a number of methods to construct linear codes, one of which is based on functions. Furthermore, two generic constructions of linear codes from functions called the first and the second generic constructions, have aroused the research interest of scholars. Recently, in \cite{Nian}, Li and Mesnager proposed two open problems: Based on the first and the second generic constructions, respectively, construct linear codes from non-weakly regular plateaued functions and determine their weight distributions. Motivated by these two open problems, in this paper, firstly, based on the first generic construction, we construct some three-weight and at most five-weight linear codes from non-weakly regular plateaued functions and determine the weight distributions of the constructed codes. Next, based on the second generic construction, we construct some three-weight and at most five-weight linear codes from non-weakly regular plateaued functions belonging to $\mathcal{NWRF}$ (defined in this paper) and determine the weight distributions of the constructed codes. We also give the punctured codes of these codes obtained based on the second generic construction and determine their weight distributions. Meanwhile, we obtain some optimal and almost optimal linear codes. Besides, by the Ashikhmin-Barg condition, we have that the constructed codes are minimal for almost all cases and obtain some secret sharing schemes with nice access structures based on their dual codes.

Amplitude and frequency variations in PG~0101+039 from K2 photometry -- A pulsating hot B subdwarf star in an unsynchronized binary system

K2 photometry is suitable for the exploitation of mode variability on short timescales in hot B subdwarf stars, which is important to constrain nonlinear quantities addressed by the stellar theory of high-order perturbation in the future. We analyze the $\sim80$~d high-quality K2 data collected on PG~0101+039 and extract the frequency content of oscillation. We then determine its rotational and orbital properties, as well as characterize the dynamics of amplitude and frequency. The frequencies are extracted from light curves via a standard prewhitening technique. The binary information is obtained from variations both in brightness and radial velocities. Amplitude and frequency modulation of oscillation modes are measured by piece-wise light curves and characterized by EMCMC method. We have extracted 137 independent frequencies in PG~0101+039 and derived period spacing of ~252s and 144s for the dipole and quadruple modes, respectively. We derive a rotation rate of 8.81+-0.06d and ~8.60+-0.16d based on g- and p-mode multiplets, implying a marginally differential rotation with a probability of ~ 60%. We find that the rotation period is much shorter than the orbital period of ~0.57d, indicating that this system is not synchronized. Amplitude and frequency modulation are measurable for 44 frequencies with high enough amplitude, including 12 rotational components. We characterize their modulating patterns and find a clear correlation between amplitude and frequency variation, which is linked to nonlinear resonant couplings. In general, the modulating scale and timescale are on an order of a few dozen of nano hertz and a few tens of days, respectively, whose values are important constraints to future calculations of nonlinear amplitude equations.

A Further Study of Vectorial Dual-Bent Functions

Vectorial dual-bent functions have recently attracted some researchers' interest as they play a significant role in constructing partial difference sets, association schemes, bent partitions and linear codes. In this paper, we further study vectorial dual-bent functions $F: V_{n}^{(p)}\rightarrow V_{m}^{(p)}$, where $2\leq m \leq \frac{n}{2}$, $V_{n}^{(p)}$ denotes an $n$-dimensional vector space over the prime field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$. We give new characterizations of certain vectorial dual-bent functions (called vectorial dual-bent functions with Condition A) in terms of amorphic association schemes, linear codes and generalized Hadamard matrices, respectively. When $p=2$, we characterize vectorial dual-bent functions with Condition A in terms of bent partitions. Furthermore, we characterize certain bent partitions in terms of amorphic association schemes, linear codes and generalized Hadamard matrices, respectively. For general vectorial dual-bent functions $F: V_{n}^{(p)}\rightarrow V_{m}^{(p)}$ with $F(0)=0, F(x)=F(-x)$ and $2\leq m \leq \frac{n}{2}$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on constructing association schemes. Based on such a result, more association schemes are constructed from vectorial dual-bent functions.

Subsurface pulse, crater and ejecta asymmetry from oblique impacts into granular media

We carry out experiments of 104 m/s velocity oblique impacts into a granular medium (sand). Impact craters have nearly round rims even at a grazing angle of about $10^\circ$, however, the strength of seismic pulses excited by the impact is dependent upon impact angle, and the ratio between uprange and downrange velocity peaks can be as large as 5, particularly at shallow depths. Crater slope, an offset between crater center and impact site, crater volume, azimuthal variation in ejection angle, seismic pulse shapes and subsurface flow direction are also sensitive to impact angle, but to a much lower degree than subsurface pulse strength. Uprange and downrange pulse peak amplitudes can be estimated from the horizontal and vertical components of the momentum imparted to the medium from the projectile

StoManager1: An Enhanced, Automated, and High-throughput Tool to Measure Leaf Stomata and Guard Cell Metrics Using Empirical and Theoretical Algorithms

Automated stomata detection and measuring are vital for understanding plant physiological performance and ecological functioning in global water and carbon cycles. Current methods are laborious, time-consuming, prone to bias, and limited in scale. We developed StoManager1, a high-throughput tool utilizing empirical and theoretical algorithms and convolutional neural networks to automatically detect, count, and measure over 30 stomatal and guard cell metrics, including stomata and guard cell area, length, width, and orientation, stomatal evenness, divergence, and aggregation index. These metrics, combined with leaf functional traits, explained 78% and 93% of productivity and intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) variances in hardwoods, making them significant factors in leaf physiology and tree growth. StoManager1 demonstrates exceptional precision and recall (mAP@0.5 over 0.993), effectively capturing diverse stomatal properties across various species. StoManager1facilitates the automation of measuring leaf stomata, enabling broader exploration of stomatal control in plant growth and adaptation to environmental stress and climate change. This has implications for global gross primary productivity (GPP) modeling and estimation, as integrating stomatal metrics can enhance comprehension and predictions of plant growth and resource usage worldwide. StoManager1's source code and an online demonstration are available on GitHub (https://github.com/JiaxinWang123/StoManager.git), along with a user-friendly Windows application on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7686022).

A Study of Pulsation properties of 57 Non-Blazhko effect ab-type RR Lyrae stars with homogeneous metallicities from the LAMOST-Kepler/K2 survey

Homogeneous metallicities and continuous high-precision light curves play key roles in studying the pulsation properties of RR Lyrae stars. By cross-matching with LAMOST DR6, we have determined 7 and 50 Non-Blazhko RRab stars in the Kepler and K2 fields, respectively, who have homogeneous metallicities determined from low-resolution spectra of the LAMOST-Kepler/K2 project. The Fourier Decomposition method is applied to the light curves of these stars provided by the Kepler space based telescope to determine the fundamental pulsation periods and the pulsation parameters. The calculated amplitude ratios of R21, R31 and the phase differences of ϕ21, ϕ31 are consistent with the parameters of the RRab stars in both the Globular Clusters and the Large Magellanic Cloud. We find a linear relationship between the phase differences ϕ21 and ϕ31, which is in good agreement with the results in previous literature. As far as the amplitude, we find that the amplitude of primary frequency A1 and the total amplitude Atot follow either a cubic or linear relationship. For the rise time RT, we do not find its relevance with the period of the fundamental pulsation mode P1, or Atot and ϕ21. However, it might follow a linear relationship with R31. Based on the homogeneous metallicities, we have derived a new calibration formula for the relationship of period-ϕ31-[Fe/H], which agrees well with the previous studies.
