THE development of agriculture faces significant challenges due to population growth, climate change, land depletion, and environmental pollution, threatening global food security [1]. This necessitates the development of sustainable agriculture, where a fundamental step is crop breeding to improve agronomic or economic traits, e.g., increasing yields of crops while decreasing resource usage and minimizing pollution to the environment [2].

COMPUTATIONAL knowledge vision [1] is emphasized as a novel perspective or field in this paper. It first proposes the visual hierarchy and its connection to knowledge, stating that knowledge is a justified true belief. To further the previous research, we concisely summarize our recent works and suggest a new direction that knowledge is also a thought framework in vision.

In addressing the complex challenge of Traffic Signal control (TSC), Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has emerged as a popular solution. In traditional DRL methods applied to TSC problems, deep neural networks are sensitive to minor input changes, which complicates accurate predictions. This ambiguity hampers algorithm convergence, speed, and overall performance. Additionally, existing DRL methods for TSC employ high-dimensional state spaces, escalating computational complexity. This study addresses these challenges by introducing an innovative approach, SLFMLight, that integrates a stochastic traffic flow model with DRL algorithm for TSC. Our method employs an innovative network update algorithm that integrates traffic flow prediction in Q-value learning process to enhance interpretability and accelerate algorithm convergence. Utilizing mode-based multi-actor networks to handle diverse traffic conditions, SLFMLight excels in decision-making towards complex traffic scenarios, especially in congested ones. Concise state definition improves computational efficiency. SLFMLight contributes to the advancement of intelligent traffic management by providing an effective DRL solution that improves interpretability, efficiency, and adaptability in TSC.

Coronary microcirculatory dysfunction, affecting over half of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, correlates significantly with AMI prognosis. Nicorandil is an effective drug that markedly improves coronary microcirculation, but current clinical formulations of Nicorandil exhibit a relatively short half-life and lack cardiac selectivity. We formulated and synthesized a variety of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as a drug carrier for loading and delivering Nicorandil. We performed PEG modification on MSNs to enhance their biocompatibility. The SiO2@PEG showed good serum stability, maintained a uniform spherical structure with a particle size distribution centered within 200 nm and exhibits good dispersibility. SiO2@PEG-Nicorandil showed no significant impact on AC 16 cells' viability at concentrations up to 50 mu g/mL. SiO2@PEG-Nicorandil significantly enhanced the viability of AC16 cells under oxidative stress conditions, while concurrently reducing intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+. For the rat coronary microvascular dysfunction model, the SiO2@PEG-Nicorandil group demonstrated a greater decrease in thrombus formation and the expression of inflammatory cytokines, outperforming the Nicorandil group. In vivo imaging revealed that within one hour post-injection of SiO2@PEG-Nicorandil-CY7, a notable increase in CY7 fluorescence intensity was observed in the cardiac region compared to surrounding tissues. Drug concentration measurements demonstrated that Nicorandil maintained a stable concentration in cardiac blood at 48 h in the SiO2@PEG-Nicorandil group. Taken together, SiO2@PEG-Nicorandil had exhibited superior cardiac-targeting capabilities and sustained-release properties. Within a specific concentration range, it demonstrated enhanced therapeutic effects in the treatment of coronary microcirculation disorders in rats when compared to conventional Nicorandil formulations.

In this article, the optimal consensus tracking control for nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with unknown dynamics and disturbances is investigated via adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) technology. Taking into account the disturbance as control inputs, the optimal control problem for the nonlinear MASs is reformulated as a multiplayer zero-sum differential game. In addition, a single network ADP structure is constructed to approach the optimal consensus control policies. Subsequently, an event triggering mechanism is implemented to reduce the workload of the controller and conserve computing and communication resources. Since then, in order to further streamline the intricacies of controller design, this work is extended to self-triggered cases to alleviate the need for hardware devices to continuously monitor signals. By using the Lyapunov method, the stability of the nonlinear MASs and the uniform ultimate boundedness (UUB) of the weight estimation error of the critic neural network (NN) is proved. Finally, the simulation results for an MAS consisting of a single-link robot validate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Feature disentanglement techniques have been widely employed to extract transferable (domain-invariant) features from non-transferable (domain-specific) features in Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA). However, due to the complex interplay among high-dimensional features, the separated "non-transferable" features may still be partially informative. Suppressing or disregarding them, as commonly employed in previous methods, can overlook the inherent transferability. In this work, we introduce two concepts: Partially Transferable Class Features and Partially Transferable Domain Features (PTCF and PTDF), and propose a succinct feature disentanglement technique. Different with prior works, we do not seek to thoroughly peel off the nontransferable features, as it is challenging practically. Instead, we take the two-stage strategy consisting of rough feature disentanglement and dynamic adjustment. We name our model as ELT because it can systematically Explore Latent Transferability of feature components. ELT can automatically evaluate the transferability of internal feature components, dynamically giving more attention to features with high transferability and less to features with low transferability, effectively solving the problem of negative transfer. Extensive experimental results have proved its efficiency. The code and supplementary file will be available at https://***/ njtjmc/ELT.

This article utilizes parallel control to investigate the problem of continuous-time (CT) nonzero-sum games (NZSGs) for completely unknown nonlinear systems via reinforcement learning (RL), and a parallel control-based NZSG (PNZSG) method is developed without reconstructing unknown dynamics or employing off-policy integral RL (IRL). First, novel dynamic control policies (DCPs) are developed for NZSGs by introducing controls into feedback, and an augmented system with augmented performance indices is constructed to derive the DCPs. Then, we theoretically analyze the effect of the DCPs on the control stability and performance indices, and the optimality of PNZSG is proven to be equivalent to the optimality of the original NZSGs. Subsequently, an IRL technique is employed to achieve the developed PNZSG method, and we show that no prior knowledge of the dynamics of NZSGs is needed to deploy the developed PNZSG method because of the augmented system and performance indices. Finally, numerical examples, including cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) of a vehicular platoon, demonstrate the correctness of the developed PNZSG method. The associated code is available at: https://***/lujingweihh/Adaptive-dynamic-programming-algorithms/tree/main/model_free_nonzero_sum_games.
