Security of the deployment of SDN-based IoT using blockchain by Ping XIE, Xiaosong LIU

“…Compared with the traditional internet,the SDN-based internet of things (IoT) has a wider coverage,more connected devices,more complex data transmission.There are many security technical challenges.The security challenges of SDN-based IoT deployment were firstly analyzed,and then the advantages of blockchain technology in solving those security issues were introduced.Finally,to add a blockchain-based security layer was proposed,which acted as a security gateway,data entering the IoT was verified accurately one time.Each security gateway was added to the blockchain system as an equal blockchain node,combined with the traceability and non-tampering of the blockchain system,the security performance and efficiency of SDN-based IoT deployments was improved.…”

Power allocation under per-antenna power constraints in multiuser MIMO systems by Sheng-qian HAN, Chen-yang YANG

“…A low-complexity power allocation algorithm was investigated under per-antenna power constraints(PAPC)in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems.It was shown that the optimal power allocation subject to PAPC,aimed at maximizing the sum rate of multiple users with zero forcing (ZF) precoders,had the structure of water-filling with multiple water-levels.Based on this result,the equivalence between PAPC and weighted sum power constraints was proved and a low-complexity suboptimal power allocation method was then proposed.Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing equal power allocation method and the heuristic method,and it can efficiently reduce the computational complexity with a negligible performance loss compared with the optimal power allocation method.…”

La réciprocité comme déterminant de l’espace éducatif : le care permet-il de repenser l’éducation politique à la liberté ? by Sébastien Charbonnier

“…Political education to freedom is learning to take care of each other, especially to talk and to listen: what may seem a truism is not obvious at all since it requires epistemic and deontic equality between learners and teachers. The purpose of this article is to take seriously what means reciprocity of the care into political education of individuals.…”

Generalized dissipativeness in a Banach space by David R. Gurney

“…For k a real number, a subset B of X×X will be called k-dissipative if for each pair of elements (x1,y1), (x2,y2) in B, there existsh∈{f∈X*:[x,f]=|x|2=|f|2}such thatRe[y1−y2,h]≤k|x1−x2|2.This definition extends a notion of dissipativeness which is equivalent to having k equal zero here. A number of definitions and theorems related to this original dissipative notion are generalized in the present paper to fit the k-dissipative situation, and proofs are given for the new theorems.…”

Global Dynamics of Discrete Competitive Models with Large Intrinsic Growth Rates by Chunqing Wu, Jing-an Cui

“…Earlier works have shown that the unique positive equilibrium is globally attractive under the assumption that the intrinsic growth rates of the two competitive species are less than 1+ln 2, and further the unique positive equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable under the stronger condition that the intrinsic growth rates of the two competitive species are less than or equal to 1. We prove that the system can also be globally asymptotically stable when the intrinsic growth rates of the two competitive species are greater than 1 and globally attractive when the intrinsic growth rates of the two competitive species are greater than 1 + ln 2.…”
