Complete Stability of Delayed Recurrent Neural Networks With New Wave-Type Activation Functions.

Activation functions have a significant effect on the dynamics of neural networks (NNs). This study proposes new nonmonotonic wave-type activation functions and examines the complete stability of delayed recurrent NNs (DRNNs) with these activation functions. Using the geometrical properties of the wave-type activation function and subsequent iteration scheme, sufficient conditions are provided to ensure that a DRNN with n neurons has exactly (2m + 3) equilibria, where (m + 2) equilibria are locally exponentially stable, the remainder (2m + 3) - (m + 2) equilibria are unstable, and a positive integer m is related to wave-type activation functions.

Clinical effect and follow-up of laparoscopic radical proximal gastrectomy for upper gastric carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and clinical effect of tubular esophagogastric anastomosis in laparoscopic radical proximal gastrectomy.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 191 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical proximal gastrectomy in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2017 to October 2020. Patients were divided into tubular esophagogastric anastomosis group (TG group) and traditional esophagogastric anastomosis group (EG group) according to the digestive tract reconstruction.

The Ratio Optimization and Strength Mechanism of Composite Cementitious Material with Low-Quality Fly Ash.

To resolve the limited large-scale methods of disposal of low calcium fly ash with poor activity, based on the double excitation principle, clinker and desulfurized gypsum are used as alkali/salt activators to activate fly ash and slag, avoiding the inconvenience of strong alkali activating fly ash in industry. Firstly, the strength test of a filling body with multiple ratio composite cementing material is carried out, and the weight coefficient of each material to strength is analyzed by grey correlation degree. The composition of the hydration products, microstructure, and pore structure of the filling body was analyzed by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, thermogravimetric test, and mercury compression test.
