Administration time modify the anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of inulin via gut-brain axis.

An imbalance in the microbiota-gut-brain axis exerts an essential effect on the pathophysiology of depressive and anxiety disorders. Our previous research revealed that the timing of inulin administration altered its effects on chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced anxiety and depression. However, it is still unclear if the gut-brain axis is primarily responsible for these effects.

Multi-Image Encryption Algorithm Based on Cascaded Modulation Chaotic System and Block-Scrambling-Diffusion.

To address the problem of a poor security image encryption algorithm based on a single chaotic map, this paper proposes a cascade modulation chaotic system (CMCS) that can generate multiple chaotic maps. On this basis, a multi-image encryption algorithm with block-scrambling-diffusion is proposed using CMCS. The algorithm makes full use of the features of CMCS to achieve the effect of one encryption at a time for images.

Multi-Task Offloading Based on Optimal Stopping Theory in Edge Computing Empowered Internet of Vehicles.

Vehicular edge computing is a new computing paradigm. By introducing edge computing into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), service providers are able to serve users with low-latency services, as edge computing deploys resources (e.g.

ITP-Pred: an interpretable method for predicting, therapeutic peptides with fused features low-dimension representation.

The peptide therapeutics market is providing new opportunities for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, identifying therapeutic peptides and exploring their properties are important. Although several studies have proposed different machine learning methods to predict peptides as being therapeutic peptides, most do not explain the decision factors of model in detail.
