According to the perceptual engineering research paradigm, rock tea packaging design research framework of perceptual engineering is used as a guide to determine the typical samples and core perceptual vocabulary of rock tea packaging through various methods such as literature search, expert evaluation, KJ method, questionnaire survey, etc. The semantic difference method is used to quantify user perceptions and conduct principal component analysis to arrive at rock tea packaging presenting four core perceptual attributes: bright, environmentally friendly, exquisite and the mapping relationship between the core perceptual vocabulary and design elements was obtained through class category analysis to obtain a rock tea packaging design that fits the perceptual cognition of young consumers.

Existing proposals of Software-Defined Information-Centric Networking（SDICN）are difficult to support massive content delivery and to enable respective updates of switching and buffering components.This motivates us to propose an overlay-based SDICN system,in which content request forwarding and caching run only at the edge cache nodes.Decoupling caching from switching relaxes the above limitations of the existing proposals.Centralized control derived from software-defined networking overcomes the sub-optimality problem with overlay mechanisms.Experiments based on our prototype show that the system can be naturally superposed upon a software-defined network with significant reduction of response time when a few number of cache nodes are deployed.Our results are beneficial for the extension and application of software-defined networking and information-centric networking.

Variety characterization is crucial in the seed trade, particularly for protecting variety rights. However, the identification of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) varieties, known for their beneficial effects on human health and high processing potential, has traditionally relied on morphological traits due to limited genetic information. To investigate genetic polymorphisms of roselle germplasms and to develop breeder-accessible genotyping tools, this study first phenotyped a roselle collection from diverse geographical origins for the selection of core varieties, and then utilized double-digest restriction-associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD-seq) to identify 53,746 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across 17 core varieties. Cluster analysis of the SNP data effectively grouped varieties with similar genetic backgrounds. From this genetic information, we selected nine SNPs as a toolkit to simplify core variety discrimination. These SNPs were then converted into breeder-friendly kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers, facilitating the classification of an additional 54 roselle accessions. In conclusion, this research contributes novel insights into the genetic relationships among roselle varieties, and establishes a robust framework utilizing ddRAD-seq and KASP markers for improved genetic resource identification and application in breeding programs.

As the use of Information Technology (IT) applications has become more widespread, focus has turned toward applying IT to the learning domain, with policy initiatives aimed at integrating IT with teaching. E-Portfolios have assumed growing importance in higher education as institutions seek new teaching-learning-assessment tools to increase learner autonomy in virtual learning environments. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Information System Success Model (ISSM), this research investigates and analyzes the attitudes, degree of satisfaction and acceptance of e-Portfolio system users. The results indicate that, among prospective users, attitude appears to have the strongest and most significant direct effect on usage intentions, while satisfaction serves as a preliminary condition to mediate the effect of the users' attitude on intention to use. In addition, the utility users perceive in the e-portfolio system influences their attitude and intention more than it does their perceived ease of use. Moreover, service quality utility has a greater influence on user satisfaction and intention than does system quality and information quality. This model provides a systematic understanding of prospective users' perceptions of the e-Portfolio system, and such an understanding could help in the development and promotion of e-Portfolio systems in educational contexts.
