    As a new subject, complex networks has attracted the attention of researchers from different disciplines. Community
    structure is one of the key structures of complex networks, so it is a very important task to analyze the community structure of complex
    networks accurately. This paper studies the problem of extracting the community structure of complex networks, and proposes a
    continuous neural network(CNN)algorithm. It is proved that for any given initial value, the continuous neural network algorithm
    converges to the eigenvector of the maximum eigenvalue of the network modularity matrix B. Therefore, according to the stability of the
    evolution of the network symbol, two community structures will be obtained.

    Aiming at the machine recognition of handwritten Xiangxi Hmong character, a classification and recognition method based
    on PNN neural network was proposed. This method was improved on the basis of classical pixel projection method. In order to fully tap
    the potential of the classifier and avoid over-fitting of the classifier caused by too many dimensions of characteristic matrix, text images
    projected onto the pixel X axis and Y axis were classified based on great common divisors respectively to simplify the dimension of
    feature matrix. In addition, feature matrix extracted by multiple pixel classification methods, combined with the training and
    classification based on PNN neural network, has verified the improvement of recognition rate of the original projection method under
    different pixel groups. Through experimenting on the equalization of pixels, the pixel grouping method with the best recognition rate has
    been obtained.

    The conventional selection method of excellent classes is to sum the relevant attribute values of the classes under
    evaluation, and take the top K classes with a larger sum as the excellent classes. This kind of evaluation system will cause the problem
    that the classes having large attribute values and having no outstanding performance in the other aspects will be rated as excellent,
    whereas some classes will have an empty attribute value under the restriction of lower grades. In order to solve the existing problems,
    this paper proposes an excellent class selection method based on K-means algorithm. In other words, K excellent classes with higher
    similarity are selected from the samples of different grades on the basis of the clustering features that samples in the same cluster have
    higher similarity and samples from different clusters have lower similarity. The results of experiments conducted using real sample data
    sets indicate that: the excellent class selection method based on K-means algorithm can select outstanding classes from different
    grades with balanced development of various indexes.

    Objective: To explore the reproductive performance of Landrace, Large White and Landrace×Large White Hybridization
    Pigs in a large scale pig farm. Methods: SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze the reproductive indicators. Results: There was no
    statistically significant differences(P>0.05)in the litter size(LS), numbers of alive(NAP)and healthy piglets(NHP), and litter birth
    weight(LBW)of the three types of pigs at the first parity. However, Large White and Landrace×Large White Hybridization Pigs were
    significantly different from Landrace in the pregnancy periods of the first parity(P<0.01), and there were significant differences
    between Landrace and Large White in the LS(P<0.01)、NAP(P<0.01)、NHP(P<0.01)and LBW(P<0.05)at the second parity. There
    were also statistical differences in the pregnancy periods between Landrace and Large White(P<0.05), in the LS、NAP and LBW
    between Large White and Landrace(P<0.01), in the LS(P<0.05)、NAP(P<0.05)and LBW(P<0.01)between Large White and
    Landrace × Large White Hybridization Pigs, and in the NHP between Large White and Landrace(P<0.05) at the third parity.
    Conclusion: The reproductive indicators of different types of pigs at different parities were not consistent, with the first parity being
    slightly better than the second and third parity, which may be related to the unsystematic breeding after being introduced into this farm.
