Optimizing low-power, anti-interference routing with IRS through spatiotemporal reinforcement and federated learning by Chengfu Fan, Shoujiu Xiong, Fei Zhou

“…Unlike traditional approaches, SAC-IRS incorporates real-time channel state information (CSI) feedback, enabling the system to adapt to varying network conditions and improve signal strength while reducing energy consumption. Experimental results demonstrate that SAC-IRS achieves a 90% packet delivery rate and lowers energy consumption to 0.25 mJ/bit, outperforming existing methods such as AODV, DeepIR, and IRS-Q-Routing. …”

Quadratic unconstrained binary optimization and constraint programming approaches for lattice-based cyclic peptide docking by J. Kyle Brubaker, Kyle E. C. Booth, Akihiko Arakawa, Fabian Furrer, Jayeeta Ghosh, Tsutomu Sato, Helmut G. Katzgraber

“…In contrast, the CP approach can solve the largest instance in our test set, containing 11 peptide residues and 49 target protein residues (PDB 2F58). We conclude that while QUBO can be used to successfully tackle this problem, its scaling limitations and the strong performance of the CP method suggest that it may not be the best choice.…”

Optimal exercise interventions for enhancing cognitive function in older adults: a network meta-analysis by Han Han, Jinhao Zhang, Fan Zhang, Fanghui Li, Zhijian Wu

“…Background: Cognitive decline poses a significant challenge to healthy aging. While exercise is widely recognized for its cognitive benefits, the comparative efficacy of different exercise modalities and optimal intervention protocols for specific cognitive domains in older adults remains unclear.Objective: This network meta-analysis aimed to systematically compare the effects of five exercise modalities—resistance training, aerobic exercise, mind-body exercise, multicomponent exercise, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—on global cognitive function and major cognitive domains in cognitively healthy older adults, and to identify optimal intervention protocols and population subgroups most likely to benefit.Methods: A total of 58 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, encompassing 4,349 healthy older adults from diverse geographical regions. …”
