Uncertainty entropy-based exploratory evaluation method and its applications on missile effectiveness evaluation

Some attributes are uncertain for evaluation work because of incomplete or limited information and knowledge.It leads to uncertainty in evaluation results.To that end,an evaluation method,uncertainty entropy-based exploratory evaluation(UEEE),is proposed to guide the evaluation activities,which can iteratively and gradually reduce uncertainty in evaluation results.Uncertainty entropy(UE)is proposed to measure the extent of uncertainty.First,the belief degree distributions are assumed to characterize the uncertainty in attributes.Then the belief degree distribution of the evaluation result can be calculated by using uncertainty theory.The obtained result is then checked based on UE to see if it could meet the requirements of decision-making.If its uncertainty level is high,more information needs to be introduced to reduce uncertainty.An algorithm based on the UE is proposed to find which attribute can mostly affect the uncertainty in results.Thus,efforts can be invested in key attribute(s),and the evaluation results can be updated accordingly.This update should be repeated until the evaluation result meets the requirements.Finally,as a case study,the effectiveness of ballistic missiles with uncertain attributes is evaluated by UEEE.The evaluation results show that the target is believed to be destroyed.

An Entropy-based Index for Fine-scale Mapping of Disease Genes

By comparing the entropy and the conditional entropy in a marker, an entropy-based index has been presented for fine-scale linkage disequilibrium gene mapping using high-density marker maps for human disease genes. The index can quantify the level of linkage disequilibrium （LD） between the marker and the disease susceptibility locus （DSL） of genes. The advantage of using the index is attributed to the fact that it does not depend on marker allele frequencies across loci. Moreover, it is parallel to Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium （HWD） measure for DSL fine mapping. Through various simulations, the fine mapping perform- ances of the proposed entropy-based index was extensively investigated under various genetic parameters. The results show that the index presented is both robust and powerful for DSL mapping in genes.

An Entropy-based Index for Fine-scale Mapping of QTL

By comparing the entropy and conditional entropy in a marker, an entropy-based index for fine-scale linkage-disequilibrium gene mapping is presented using high-density marker maps in extreme samples for quantitative trait. The entropy-based index is the function of LD between the marker and the traitlocus and does not depend on marker allele frequencies across the loci. It is parallel to Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium （HWD） measure for QTL fine mapping, but its power of fine mapping QTL is higher than that of HWD measure. Through simulations, the fine mapping performance of this entropy-based index is investigated extensively under various genetic parameters. The results show that the indices presented here are both robust and powerful.

A Quasi-Newton Neural Network Based Efficient Intrusion Detection System for Wireless Sensor Network

In Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN),attacks mostly aim in limiting or eliminating the capability of the network to do its normal function.Detecting this misbehaviour is a demanding issue.And so far the prevailing research methods show poor performance.AQN3 centred efficient Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)is proposed in WSN to ameliorate the performance.The proposed system encompasses Data Gathering(DG)in WSN as well as Intrusion Detection(ID)phases.In DG,the Sensor Nodes(SN)is formed as clusters in the WSN and the Distance-based Fruit Fly Fuzzy c-means(DFFF)algorithm chooses the Cluster Head(CH).Then,the data is amassed by the discovered path.Next,it is tested with the trained IDS.The IDS encompasses‘3’steps:pre-processing,matrix reduction,and classification.In pre-processing,the data is organized in a clear format.Then,attributes are presented on the matrix format and the ELDA(entropybased linear discriminant analysis)lessens the matrix values.Next,the output as of the matrix reduction is inputted to the QN3 classifier,which classifies the denial-of-services(DoS),Remotes to Local(R2L),Users to Root(U2R),and probes into attacked or Normal data.In an experimental estimation,the proposed algorithm’s performance is contrasted with the prevailing algorithms.The proposed work attains an enhanced outcome than the prevailing methods.

Realization Path for Inclusive Finance to Support Rural Revitalization in Poverty-stricken Areas

Based on the quarterly economic,social and financial development data of 39 poverty-stricken counties in Henan Province during 2016-2018,this paper utilized the entropy-based TOPSIS method to objectively measure the rural revitalization index,and then built the quantile regression model to study the effects of various elements of inclusive finance on different stages of rural revitalization.Research results show that industrial development,agricultural modernization,targeted poverty alleviation,endogenous demand,and rural governance are the main points of inclusive finance in poverty-stricken areas to support rural revitalization;the rural revitalization index indicates that compared with the Dabie Mountain area and the non-contiguous poverty-stricken areas,the rural revitalization of the Qinba Mountain area is slower;for inclusive finance supporting rural revitalization,it is necessary to bring into play the role of monetary policy tools in re-lending,functions of credit in supporting industrial development,and role of insurance in risk protection;furthermore,inclusive finance solves problems such as the diminishing marginal effect of physical machinery investment in rural revitalization support,financial support for the coordinated development of small farmers and new agricultural business entities,financial support for the development of the entire industry chain,and the"siphon effect"of capital.

Framework on low-carbon retrofit of rural residential buildings in arid areas of northwest China:A case study of Turpan residential buildings

At present,buildings in arid and hot regions are facing severe challenges of indoor comfort improvement and carbon emission reduction,especially in rural areas.Multi-objective optimization could be an effective tool for tackling the aforementioned challenges.Therefore,this paper proposes a life-cycle optimization framework considering thermal comfort,which is beneficial to promoting residents’motivation for low-carbon retrofit in arid climate regions.First,in response to the above problems,three objective functions are specified in the framework,which are global warming potential(GWP),life cycle cost(LCC),and thermal discomfort hours(TDH).To improve the optimization efficiency,this research uses Deep Neural Networks(DNN)combined with NSGA-II to construct a high-precision prediction model(meta-model for optimization)based on the energy consumption simulation database formed by the orthogonal multi-dimensional design parameters.The accuracy index of the modified model is R2>0.99,cv(RMSE)≤1%,and NMBE≤0.2%,which gets rid of the dilemma of low prediction accuracy of traditional machine learning models.In the scheme comparison and selection stage,the TOPSIS based on two empowerment methods is applied to meet different design tendencies,where the entropy-based method can avoid the interference of subjective preference and significantly improve the objectivity and scientific nature of decision analysis.Additionally,sensitivity analysis is conducted on the variables,which supports guidance for practitioners to carry out the low-carbon design.Finally,the multi-objective optimization analysis for a farmhouse in Turpan is taken as a case study to evaluate the performance of the framework.The results show that the framework could significantly improve the building performance,with 60.8%,52.5%,and 14.2%reduction in GWP,LCC,and TDH,respectively.
