SegFormer-based nectar source segmentation in remote sensing imagery
Introduction: Beekeepers often face challenges in accurately determining the spatial distribution of nectar-producing plants, which is crucial for informed decision-making and efficient beekeeping.Methods: In this study, we present an efficient approach for automatically identifying nectar-producing plants using remote sensing imagery. High-resolution satellite images were collected and preprocessed, and an improved segmentation model based on the SegFormer architecture was developed. The model integrates the CBAM attention mechanism, deep residual structures, and a spatial feature enhancement module to improve segmentation accuracy.Results: Experimental results on rapeseed flower images from Wuyuan County demonstrate that the improved model outperforms the baseline SegFormer model. The mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) increased from 89.31% to 91.05%, mean Pixel Accuracy (mPA) improved from 94.15% to 95.02%, and both mean Precision and mean Recall reached 95.40% and 95.02%, respectively.Discussion: The proposed method significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of nectar plant identification, providing real-time and reliable technical support for precision beekeeping management, smart agriculture, and ecological monitoring. It plays a key role in optimizing bee colony migration, improving collection efficiency, and regulating honey quality.

Optimization of Levenberg Marquardt Algorithm Applied to Nonlinear Systems
As science and technology advance, industrial manufacturing processes get more complicated. Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) convergence is comparatively slower for processing nonlinear systems. The nonlinear system used in this study to evaluate the optimization of BPNN based on the LM algorithm proved the algorithm’s efficacy through a MATLAB simulation analysis. This paper examined the application impact of the enhanced approach using the Continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) control system as an example. The study’s findings demonstrate that the LM optimization algorithm’s identification error exceeds 10-5. The research’s suggested control approach for reactant concentration CA in CSTR systems provides a better tracking effect and a stronger anti-interference capacity. Compared to the PI control method, the overall control effect is superior. As a result, the optimization model for nonlinear systems has a greatly improved processing accuracy. With some data support for the accuracy study of neural network models and the application of nonlinear systems, the suggested LM-BP optimization algorithm is evidently more appropriate for nonlinear systems.

Two families of Entanglement-assisted Quantum MDS Codes from cyclic Codes
With entanglement-assisted (EA) formalism, arbitrary classical linear codes are allowed to transform into EAQECCs by using pre-shared entanglement between the sender and the receiver. In this paper, based on classical cyclic MDS codes by exploiting pre-shared maximally entangled states, we construct two families of $q$-ary entanglement-assisted quantum MDS codes $[[\frac{q^{2}+1}{a},\frac{q^{2}+1}{a}-2(d-1)+c,d;c]]$, where q is a prime power in the form of $am+l$, and $a=(l^2+1)$ or $a=\frac{(l^2+1)}{5}$. We show that all of $q$-ary EAQMDS have minimum distance upper limit much larger than the known quantum MDS (QMDS) codes of the same length. Most of these $q$-ary EAQMDS codes are new in the sense that their parameters are not covered by the codes available in the literature.Open AccessTwo families of Entanglement-assisted Quantum MDS Codes from cyclic Codes

Optimal Quaternary Hermitian LCD codes
Linear complementary dual (LCD) codes, which is a class of linear codes introduced by Massey, have been extensively studied in literature recently. It has been shown that LCD codes can help to improve the security of the information processed by sensitive devices, especially against so-called side-channel attacks (SCA) and fault invasive attacks. In this paper, Tables are presented of good quaternary Hermitian LCD codes and there are used in the construction of puncturing, extending, shortening and combination codes. Results including tables 3 of the best-known quaternary Hermitian LCD codes of any length $ n \leq 25$ with corresponding dimension $k$ are presented. In addition, Many of these quaternary Hermitian LCD codes given in this paper are optimal which are saturating the lower or upper bound of Grassl's codetable in \cite{Grassl} and some of them are nearly optimal.Open AccessOptimal Quaternary Hermitian LCD codes

Improved Lattice-Based Signcryption in the Standard Model
Signcryption is a basic cryptographic primitive that simultaneously captures the functions of encryption and signature. To realize comprehensive information security against quantum computing attacks, lattice-based signcryption schemes have been successively proposed. However, the performance of signcryption schemes should be improved in the lattice setting. An efficient lattice-based signcryption scheme in the standard model is proposed in this paper. Under the ring learning with errors (RLWE) assumption and the ideal short integer solution (ISIS) assumption, the proposed signcryption scheme achieves indistinguishability against adaptive chosen ciphertext attacks (IND-CCA2) and existential unforgeability under an adaptive chosen-message attack (EUF-ACMA). Our scheme not only reduces the communication and computational overhead but also realizes a new design that combines the partitioning technique with the idea of tag-based key encapsulation. The performance analysis results show that our scheme is more efficient than previous lattice-based signcryption schemes in the standard model.
