The results show that the information transmission can be enhanced when a certain amount of noise is presented, i.e., aperiodic stochastic resonance (ASR). Then, the influence of signal amplitude and the ST threshold on ASR is examined, the applicability of the ST in reducing the noise level of random signal transmission and improving the quality of output signal via ASR effect is illustrated.

Its trigger levels are determined by two Complementary Metal- Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) inverters. Contrast with traditional six transistors Schmitt trigger, its temperature and supply voltage characteristics have been analyzed. These two triggers are applied into relaxation oscillator and the result shows that the proposed one in this paper has better performance over wide temperature range, whose temperature coefficient from 0 to 85℃ is 1/5 of the traditional one.展开更多

However, since multiple participants are required in federated learning, this allows attackers tocompromise. Byzantine attacks pose great threats to federated learning. Byzantine attackers upload maliciouslycreated local models to the server to affect the prediction performance and training speed of the global model. Todefend against Byzantine attacks, we propose a Byzantine robust federated learning scheme based on backdoortriggers. In our scheme, backdoor triggers are embedded into benign data samples, and then malicious localmodels can be identified by the server according to its validation dataset. Furthermore, we calculate the adjustmentfactors of local models according to the parameters of their final layers, which are used to defend against datapoisoning-based Byzantine attacks. To further enhance the robustness of our scheme, each localmodel is weightedand aggregated according to the number of times it is identified as malicious. Relevant experimental data showthat our scheme is effective against Byzantine attacks in both independent identically distributed (IID) and nonindependentidentically distributed (non-IID) scenarios.展开更多

Drawing upon the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), this study investigates the extended meaning unit of the verb “trigger” by analyzing its colligational patterns, semantic preferences, and semantic prosody within various contexts. The research reveals that the verb “trigger” boasts a wide range of collocations and usages, spanning multiple domains such as natural disasters, health, and economic activities. Its colligational patterns are diverse, manifesting a myriad of semantic inclinations, including eliciting monetary events, conflicts, disasters, diseases, and more. Furthermore, the semantic prosody of “trigger” encompasses three distinct categories: positive, neutral, and negative. It can be employed to signify the positive triggering of growth or change, neutrally express the activation of an activity or device, and negatively convey the initiation of an action or outcome. Exploring the extended meaning of “trigger” can help English-language learners understand and use the word “trigger” in the right context.展开更多
