    Abstract The Atlas pistachio tree is a typically Mediterranean species, which represents an important forest heritage in the arid and semi-arid regions of Algeria. It is deeply rooted in the local population’s culture, making it essential to better understand this species for its conservation and valorization. Through our work on 7 provenances of Pistacia atlantica distributed across different bioclimates in Algeria and based on 28 quantitative and qualitative leaf, trichome, and stomatal traits, it was revealed that the Atlas pistachio tree exhibits significant ecotypic variability linked to its habitat and a high adaptability to extreme conditions in… More >

    Enhancing Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Person Re-Identification with the Minimal Transfer Cost Framework

    Sheng Xu1, Shixiong Xiang2, Feiyu Meng1, Qiang Wu1,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.3, pp. 4197-4218, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.055157 - 12 September 2024

    Abstract In Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) for person re-identification (re-ID), the primary challenge is reducing the distribution discrepancy between the source and target domains. This can be achieved by implicitly or explicitly constructing an appropriate intermediate domain to enhance recognition capability on the target domain. Implicit construction is difficult due to the absence of intermediate state supervision, making smooth knowledge transfer from the source to the target domain a challenge. To explicitly construct the most suitable intermediate domain for the model to gradually adapt to the feature distribution changes from the source to the target domain,… More >

    A Proposed Feature Selection Particle Swarm Optimization Adaptation for Intelligent Logistics—A Supply Chain Backlog Elimination Framework

    Yasser Hachaichi1, Ayman E. Khedr1, Amira M. Idrees2,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.3, pp. 4081-4105, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.048929 - 20 June 2024

    Abstract The diversity of data sources resulted in seeking effective manipulation and dissemination. The challenge that arises from the increasing dimensionality has a negative effect on the computation performance, efficiency, and stability of computing. One of the most successful optimization algorithms is Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which has proved its effectiveness in exploring the highest influencing features in the search space based on its fast convergence and the ability to utilize a small set of parameters in the search task. This research proposes an effective enhancement of PSO that tackles the challenge of randomness search which… More >

    CMAES-WFD: Adversarial Website Fingerprinting Defense Based on Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy

    Di Wang, Yuefei Zhu, Jinlong Fei*, Maohua Guo

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.2, pp. 2253-2276, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.049504 - 15 May 2024

    Abstract Website fingerprinting, also known as WF, is a traffic analysis attack that enables local eavesdroppers to infer a user’s browsing destination, even when using the Tor anonymity network. While advanced attacks based on deep neural network (DNN) can perform feature engineering and attain accuracy rates of over 98%, research has demonstrated that DNN is vulnerable to adversarial samples. As a result, many researchers have explored using adversarial samples as a defense mechanism against DNN-based WF attacks and have achieved considerable success. However, these methods suffer from high bandwidth overhead or require access to the target… More >

    Chinese Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Belief in a Just World Scale for College Students

    Zhe Yu1,2, Shuping Yang1,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.26, No.4, pp. 271-278, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2024.048342 - 04 May 2024

    Abstract This study aims to revise the Belief in a Just World Scale (BJWS) for Chinese college students and test its reliability and validity (construct validity, convergent and divergent validity). Two samples of 546 and 595 college students were selected, respectively, using stratified cluster random sampling. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability analysis and convergent and divergent validity tests were carried out. The results showed that the 13 items of the BJWS have good item discrimination. The corrected item–total correlation in the general belief in a just world subscale was found… More >

    Complementary-Label Adversarial Domain Adaptation Fault Diagnosis Network under Time-Varying Rotational Speed and Weakly-Supervised Conditions

    Siyuan Liu1,*, Jinying Huang2, Jiancheng Ma1, Licheng Jing2, Yuxuan Wang2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 761-777, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.049484 - 25 April 2024

    Abstract Recent research in cross-domain intelligence fault diagnosis of machinery still has some problems, such as relatively ideal speed conditions and sample conditions. In engineering practice, the rotational speed of the machine is often transient and time-varying, which makes the sample annotation increasingly expensive. Meanwhile, the number of samples collected from different health states is often unbalanced. To deal with the above challenges, a complementary-label (CL) adversarial domain adaptation fault diagnosis network (CLADAN) is proposed under time-varying rotational speed and weakly-supervised conditions. In the weakly supervised learning condition, machine prior information is used for sample annotation More >

    Sleep Quality and Emotional Adaptation among Freshmen in Elite Chinese Universities during Prolonged COVID-19 Lockdown: The Mediating Role of Anxiety Symptoms

    Xinqiao Liu*, Linxin Zhang, Xinran Zhang

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.26, No.2, pp. 105-116, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.042359 - 08 March 2024

    Abstract Under the effects of COVID-19 and a number of ongoing lockdown tactics, anxiety symptoms and poor sleep quality have become common mental health issues among college freshmen and are intimately related to their emotional adaptation. To explore this connection, this study gathered data from a sample of 256 freshmen enrolled in an elite university in China in September 2022. The association between sleep quality, anxiety symptoms, and emotional adaptation was clarified using correlation analysis. Additionally, the mediating function of anxiety symptoms between sleep quality and emotional adaptation was investigated using a structural equation model. The… More >

    Jinxi Guo1, Kai Chen1,2, Jiehui Liu1, Yuhao Ma2, Jie Wu2,*, Yaochun Wu2, Xiaofeng Xue3, Jianshen Li1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.3, pp. 2619-2640, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.031360 - 15 December 2023

    Abstract Intelligent diagnosis driven by big data for mechanical fault is an important means to ensure the safe operation of equipment. In these methods, deep learning-based machinery fault diagnosis approaches have received increasing attention and achieved some results. It might lead to insufficient performance for using transfer learning alone and cause misclassification of target samples for domain bias when building deep models to learn domain-invariant features. To address the above problems, a deep discriminative adversarial domain adaptation neural network for the bearing fault diagnosis model is proposed (DDADAN). In this method, the raw vibration data are… More >

    Tool Wear State Recognition with Deep Transfer Learning Based on Spindle Vibration for Milling Process

    Qixin Lan1, Binqiang Chen1,*, Bin Yao1, Wangpeng He2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.3, pp. 2825-2844, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.030378 - 15 December 2023

    Abstract The wear of metal cutting tools will progressively rise as the cutting time goes on. Wearing heavily on the tool will generate significant noise and vibration, negatively impacting the accuracy of the forming and the surface integrity of the workpiece. Hence, during the cutting process, it is imperative to continually monitor the tool wear state and promptly replace any heavily worn tools to guarantee the quality of the cutting. The conventional tool wear monitoring models, which are based on machine learning, are specifically built for the intended cutting conditions. However, these models require retraining when… More >
