Abstract Chive (Allium ascalonicum L.), a seeding-vernalization-type vegetable, is prone to bolting. To explore the physiological and molecular mechanisms of its bolting, bolting-prone (‘BA’) and bolting-resistant (‘WA’) chives were sampled at the vegetative growth, floral bud differentiation, and bud emergence stages. No bolting was observed in bolting-resistant ‘WA’ on the 130th day after planting, whereas the bolting reached 39.22% in bolting-prone ‘BA’, which was significantly higher than that of ‘WA’. The contents of gibberellins, abscisic acid, and zeatin riboside after floral bud differentiation in ‘WA’ were significantly less than in ‘BA’, whereas the indoleacetic acid content in… More >

Abstract Cyclic-system-based optimization (CSBO) is an innovative metaheuristic algorithm (MHA) that draws inspiration from the workings of the human blood circulatory system. However, CSBO still faces challenges in solving complex optimization problems, including limited convergence speed and a propensity to get trapped in local optima. To improve the performance of CSBO further, this paper proposes improved cyclic-system-based optimization (ICSBO). First, in venous blood circulation, an adaptive parameter that changes with evolution is introduced to improve the balance between convergence and diversity in this stage and enhance the exploration of search space. Second, the simplex method strategy… More >

Abstract Nowadays buildings contain innovative materials, materials from local resources, production surpluses and rapidly renewable natural resources. Phase Change Materials (PCM) are one such group of novel materials which reduce building energy consumption. With the wider availability of microencapsulated PCM, there is an opportunity to develop a new type of insulating materials, combinate PCM with traditional insulation materials for latent heat energy storage. These materials are typically flammable and are located on the interior wall finishing yet there has been no detailed assessment of their fire performance. In this research work prototypes of low-density insulating boards… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In the education archive sharing system, when performing homomorphic ciphertext retrieval on the storage server, there are problems such as low security of shared data, confusing parameter management, and weak access control. This paper proposes an Education Archives Sharing and Access Control (EduASAC) system to solve these problems. The system research goal is to realize the sharing of security parameters, the execution of access control, and the recording of system behaviors based on the blockchain network, ensuring the legitimacy of shared membership and the security of education archives. At the same time, the system can… More >

Abstract The purpose of introducing blockchain into electronic archives sharing and utilization is to break the information barrier between electronic archives sharing departments by relying on technologies such as smart contract and asymmetric encryption. Aiming at the problem of dynamic permission management in common access control methods, a new access control method based on smart contract under blockchain is proposed, which improves the intelligence level under blockchain technology. Firstly, the Internet attribute access control model based on smart contract is established. For the dynamic access of heterogeneous devices, the management contract, permission judgment contract and access… More >

Abstract Job shop scheduling (JS) is an important technology for modern manufacturing. Flexible job shop scheduling (FJS) is critical in JS, and it has been widely employed in many industries, including aerospace and energy. FJS enables any machine from a certain set to handle an operation, and this is an NP-hard problem. Furthermore, due to the requirements in real-world cases, multi-objective FJS is increasingly widespread, thus increasing the challenge of solving the FJS problems. As a result, it is necessary to develop a novel method to address this challenge. To achieve this goal, a novel collaborative More >

Abstract In order to improve the consistency between the recommended retrieval results and user needs, improve the recommendation efficiency, and reduce the average absolute deviation of resource retrieval, a design method of intelligent recommendation retrieval model for Fujian intangible cultural heritage digital archive resources based on knowledge atlas is proposed. The TG-LDA (Tag-granularity LDA) model is proposed on the basis of the standard LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) model. The model is used to mine archive resource topics. The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to measure the relevance between topics. Based on the measurement results, the FastText… More >

Abstract The products of an archival culture in colleges and universities are the final result of the development of archival cultural resources, and the development of archival cultural effects in colleges and universities should be an important part of improving the artistic level of libraries. The existing RippleNet model doesn’t consider the influence of key nodes on recommendation results, and the recommendation accuracy is not high. Therefore, based on the RippleNet model, this paper introduces the influence of complex network nodes into the model and puts forward the Cn RippleNet model. The performance of the model More >

Abstract Standalone systems cannot handle the giant traffic loads generated by Twitter due to memory constraints. A parallel computational environment provided by Apache Hadoop can distribute and process the data over different destination systems. In this paper, the Hadoop cluster with four nodes integrated with RHadoop, Flume, and Hive is created to analyze the tweets gathered from the Twitter stream. Twitter stream data is collected relevant to an event/topic like IPL- 2015, cricket, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kohli, Modi, from May 24 to 30, 2016 using Flume. Hive is used as a data warehouse to store the… More >

Abstract This paper describes the process of design and construction of a data warehouse (“DW”) for an online learning platform using three prominent technologies, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB and Apache Hive. The three systems are evaluated for corpus construction and descriptive analytics. The case also demonstrates the value of evidence-centered design principles for data warehouse design that is sustainable enough to adapt to the demands of handling big data in a variety of contexts. Additionally, the paper addresses maintainability-performance tradeoff, storage considerations and accessibility of big data corpora. In this NSF-sponsored work, the data were processed, transformed,… More >
