基于最佳范化能力的BP网络隐节点数反比关系式的环境预测模型

网络结构和样本集复杂性是影响BP网络泛化能力的两个最重要因素.对一个给定的训练样本集,为了构造一个与样本集复杂性相匹配的网络结构,使BP网络具有最佳泛化能力,在分析BP网络的泛化能力（用检测误差E₂表示）与网络结构和样本集复杂性之间关系的基础上,建立了含参数的BP网络检测误差E₂与网络隐节点数H、样本的因子数n、样本数N和样本集的复相关系数R之间的一般关系表达式,并提出了用于定量描述样本集复杂性的"广义"复相关系数R_n的新概念.借助于222个复杂函数的模拟仿真实验,应用免疫进化算法,对表达式中的参数进行优化,得到参数优化后的网络检测误差E₂的定量解析表达式;依据误差理论和灵敏度概念,对优化得到的最小检测误差E₂₀的表达式进行了可靠性论证.在此基础上导出了具有最佳泛化能力的BP网络隐节点数H₀与"广义"复相关系数R_n之间满足的H₀-R_n反比关系式.分别用满足H₀-R_n反比关系式的隐节点数和6个经验公式的隐节点数构造的BP网络用于100个模拟检测函数进行仿真实验,发现前者构造的BP网络具有最佳泛化能力（即最小检测误差）的函数个数达到76个,远远多于后者构造的BP网络具有最佳泛化能力的函数个数;还将二者构造的BP网络用于环境预测的7个具体实例,进行预测效果比较,结果表明,前者预测的相对误差绝对值的平均值和最大值小于或远小于后者的相应值.从而验证了由H₀-R_n反比关系式得出的BP网络隐节点数计算公式的可行性和实用性,为具有最佳泛化能力的BP网络的结构设计指出了新途径.

邻苯二甲酸二丁酯影响阿尔茨海默病大鼠学习记忆能力的分子机制研究

为探究邻苯二甲酸二丁酯（DBP）影响阿尔茨海默病（AD）大鼠学习记忆能力的分子机制,将56只SPF级5~6周龄雌性Wistar大鼠随机平均分为7组：阴性对照组、0.25 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 DBP组、2.5 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 DBP组、25 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 DBP组、250 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 DBP组、AD模型组和AD+25 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 DBP组.连续灌胃处理28 d,观察Morris水迷宫结果,检测脑海马组织中活性氧（ROS）、还原型谷胱甘肽（GSH）、丙二醛（MDA）、8-羟基脱氧鸟苷（8-OHdG）的含量;采用实时荧光定量PCR （qPCR）检测Bcl-2、Bax和Caspase-3 mRNA的转录水平;通过免疫印迹试验（Western blot）检测Bcl-2、Bax和Caspase-3的蛋白表达水平.结果表明,与阴性对照组相比,不同染毒组、DBP组大鼠的学习记忆能力下降,氧化应激水平上升,且随DBP染毒浓度升高而加剧（p<0.05,p<0.01）;AD+25 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 DBP组较AD模型组大鼠的学习记忆能力损伤加剧,氧化应激水平和Bcl-2/Bax/Caspase-3信号通路上调,差异具有统计学意义（p<0.05）.由此推测,DBP可通过氧化应激作用,上调Bcl-2/Bax/Caspase-3信号通路,加剧AD大鼠海马组织的损伤,导致学习记忆能力下降.本文通过DBP影响AD大鼠学习记忆能力的分子机制研究,揭示了氧化应激对凋亡信号通路的作用,并为进一步研究DBP的毒性提供了理论和数据依据.     

The Influence of Anchor Devices on the Performance of Retractable Type Fall Arresters Protecting Against Falls From a Height

Retractable type fall arresters are part of the equipment used for protecting people against falls from a height. They are an intermediate part between full body harness worn by a man and the structural anchor at the worksite. The most important task of retractable type fall arresters is to arrest people’s falls and to reduce their harmful consequences. Information received from users as well as laboratories testing protective equipment indicates that the performance of such equipment is incorrect under specific conditions. The paper is concerned with an analysis of the conditions in which retractable type fall arresters demonstrate intermittent performance and with an explanation of that phenomenon. The results of tests investigating anchor devices and the performance of retractable type fall arresters are presented. External and internal factors contributing to intermittent performance have been determined and guidelines for safer use of these devices have been developed.     

Risk Factors to Musculoskeletal Disorders and Anthropometric Measurements of Filipino Manufacturing Workers

This study looked into the risk factors to musculoskeletal disorders and established anthropometric measurements of Filipino workers in 29 manufacturing industries. Anthropometric measurements of 1,805 workers were taken, and 495 workers were surveyed. Limitation of motion was found in 0.8% of the respondents, affectation in activities of daily living was seen in 1.6% and 3.2% felt discomfort in the head and neck. Upper trunk and low back pain was experienced by 23.8%. Odds ratio results (p = .05) showed that it is 29 times likely for workers to develop low back pain when they stand for 2-8 hrs a day than when they sit all the time. Anthropometry can be used for the design ofworkstations and work furniture.     

How do leadership motives affect informal and formal leadership emergence?

To what extent and in what ways do leadership motives of potential leaders predict their informal and formal leadership assignments? To address these questions, we conducted two studies in a military setting. In the first study (n = 215), we examined a mediated‐moderation model in which we hypothesized that the motivation to lead (MTL) of candidates to an elite unit would predict their teamwork behaviors and their tendency to emerge as leaders of their peers. We further hypothesized that cognitive ability would interact with MTL to predict teamwork behaviors and that teamwork behaviors would mediate the relationship between this interaction and leadership emergence. In Study 2, we followed up 60 candidates who were selected to the unit and examined whether MTL would predict the extent to which they achieved formal leadership roles. The findings of Study 1 supported the hypotheses included in the moderated mediation model. In Study 2, as expected, MTL predicted formal leadership emergence. We discuss several theoretical implications of these findings. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
