In these fields, several generations try to optimize the code for pruning and effectiveness of evaluation function. Thus, there are well-armed algorithms to deal with various sophisticated situations in gaming occasion. However, as a traditional zero-sum game, Connect-4 receives less attention compared with the other members of its zero-sum family using traditional minimax algorithm. In recent years, new generation of heuristics is created to address this problem based on research conclusions, expertise and gaming experiences. However, this paper mainly introduced a self-developed heuristics supported by well-demonstrated result from researches and our own experiences which fighting against the available version of Connect-4 system online. While most previous works focused on winning algorithms and knowledge based approaches, we complement these works with analysis of heuristics. We have conducted three experiments on the relationship among functionality, depth of searching and number of features and doing contrastive test with sample online. Different from the sample based on summarized experience and generalized features, our heuristics have a basic concentration on detailed connection between pieces on board. By analysing the winning percentages when our version fights against the online sample with different searching depths, we find that our heuristics with minimax algorithm is perfect on the early stages of the zero-sum game playing. Because some nodes in the game tree have no influence on the final decision of minimax algorithm, we use alpha-beta pruning to decrease the number of meaningless node which greatly increases the minimax efficiency. During the contrastive experiment with the online sample, this paper also verifies basic characters of the minimax algorithm including depths and quantity of features. According to the experiment, these two characters can both effect the decision for each step and none of them can be absolutely in charge. Besides, we also explore some potential future issues in Connect-4 game optimization such as precise adjustment on heuristic values and inefficiency pruning on the search tree.展开更多

文摘Background:Local inflammation induced by microglial activation plays a significant role in the pathological process of cerebral ischemia.Angelica keiskei(Miq.)Koidz.,a traditional botanical drug,can be used as a diuretic,laxative or galactagogue.Xanthoangelol(XA),an active chalcone compound from the aerial part of Angelica keiskei,has anti-inflammatory effects in the peripheral tissues.However,its effect against neuroinflammation is yet unclear.Objective:The present study aims to investigate whether XA could mitigate ischemic stroke damage through attenuating neuroinflammation due to microglia activation.Methods:Middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion(MCAO/R)induced cerebral ischemia and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion(OGD/R)or lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglia cells were utilized to evaluate XA’s protection against ischemic injury and neuroinflammation.The severity of brain injury was assessed using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining and neurological assessment.The expressions of inflam-matory cytokines were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Reactive oxygen species(ROS)were assessed using dichlorodihydrofluores-cein diacetate(DCF-DA)staining.NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation was confirmed by immunofluorescence(IF)staining.The expressions of proteins were quantified by Western blotting.Results:XA was efficacious in reducing infarct size and improving neurological function in MCAO/R mice.In ischemic brain tissue,XA reduced microglial activation and proinflammatory cytokine expression.In lipopolysac-charide(LPS)and OGD/R-induced cell models,XA suppressed the production of ROS and decreased the secretion of inflammatory cytokines.Additionally,XA suppressed the nuclear translocation and phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 and blocked the activation of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3)inflammasome.The protec-tion of XA against MCAO/R-induced damages was not attenuated in TLR4^(−/−)and MD2^(−/−)mice.Mito-TEMPO treatment reversed XA’s anti-inflammatory properties in OGD/R-induced BV2 cells.Conclusion:XA attenuates ischemic stroke injury by suppressing microglial inflammatory responses.This efficacy is tied to its antioxidant activity and is independent of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)or myeloid differentiation protein 2(MD2).
