Elliptic curve ElGamal encryption based location privacy-preserving scheme by Huibin LAI, Li XU, Yali ZENG, Rui ZHU

“…An elliptic curve ElGamal encryption based location privacy-preserving scheme was proposed to address the location privacy problem of secondary users in collaborative spectrum sensing.Firstly,secondary users encrypted the original sensing reports using the ElGamal public key techniques on the elliptic curve and sent them to the trusted property authority.Secondly,the trusted property authority partially decrypted and randomized sensing reports and then sent the randomized sensing reports to the fusion center.Thirdly,the fusion center finally decrypted and got the original sensing reports.Finally,security of the scheme was analyzed.According to the scheme,the encryption method of sensing reports was based on public key cryptography on elliptic curve.And the trusted property authority randomized encrypted sensing reports.Thus the location privacy of secondary users can be protected.Meanwhile,this scheme effectively reduces communication and storage cost,compared with other schemes.In addition,this scheme also has fault tolerant and dynamic mechanism,which increases the practicability and feasibility.…”

Detection of sybil attacks based on periodic ultra wide band distance information in WSN by Yanzhi ZHANG, Xiaoqin YE

“…Concerning the problem that wireless sensor network is vulnerable to many kinds of network attacks and compromise of nodes，a complete detecting system of sybil attack based on periodic ultra-bandwidth distance information was proposed.Firstly，the distance between the adjacent nodes was ranging and the hello data packet was exchanged.Then，the distance estimation form was constructed by local estimation，and the form was contained in each node.Meanwhile，multiple distance matching check was periodically executed for each node in the network.Finally，when there was the distance matching between the legitimate node at least two different nodes，it would give an alarm and discard the sybil nodes.If there was no distance matching，the node continued normal operations.IEEE 802.15.4 peer to peer sensor networks were adopted in the simulation experiments.Experimental results show that the proposed system not only can tolerate changes in the number of complicated sybil attacks，but also can successfully deal with the occurrence of complicated，malleable sybil attack.In addition，the probability of false alarm is very small，the entire network performance and its consistency are not affected.…”

Determination of production capacity for open-pit coal mines under uncertainty: A model based on economies of scale. by Shuai Wang, Bo Cao, Runcai Bai, Guangwei Liu

“…The application of the model is demonstrated through this case study, revealing that the uncertainties in production costs and coal prices are (-13.05%, +27.68%) and (-10.79%, +10.79%) respectively. Subsequently, risk-tolerant capacity planning recommendations are proposed, effectively mitigating the impact of uncertainties on production capacity determination.…”

A blockchain sharding scheme in edge computing by Jun WANG, Jianwei MA, Jinxi LUO

“…The low security and poor privacy of the data in edge computing restrict the development of edge computing.Block chains can provide security for data in edge computing using their own tamper resistance, while protecting privacy by use of traceability.But the bottleneck of blockchain's scalability has become a barrier to their application in the field of edge computing.To solve the problem that blockchain can not meet the needs of a large number of nodes to process data at the same time when applied to edge computing, a two-layer sharding scheme was presented, which meets the needs of edge computing scenarios.Geographic location-based partitioning of nodes was implemented using the improved K-means algorithm, and a local blockchain network consensus (LBNC) algorithm was designed based on the idea of delegated proof of stake (DPoS) and practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT).Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has less delay and higher throughput than those of PBFT, and the total throughput increases with the number of shards.…”

Inter-block 4-erasure-correcting coding scheme for real-time bulk data transfer by Gang CHEN, Jun-feng ZHU, Shi-le ZHANG, Bai-feng WU

“…Most of the existing erasure-correcting codes were limited by encoding/decoding complexities and encoded data size.They were not suitable for use in the real-time applications that orient bulk data based on blocks or packages.Therefore,a novel inter-block 4-erasure-correcting coding scheme for real-time bulk data transfer was presented.Based on single parity-check codes incorporated with the features of GF(2＜sup＞8＜/sup＞)field in finite field,the present coding scheme could tolerate simultaneous failures of four blocks with only four redundancy blocks for a group of continuous data.Meanwhile,its encoding/decoding complexities had linear relationship with respect to the size of data blocks and it supported arbitrary size of data.Furthermore,it was proved to have MDS property,thus achieving optimal erasure-correcting capability with the same redundancy information.Theoretical and experimental analysis showed that the present coding scheme could code with 27 continuous data blocks at most.…”

Influence of Tooth Surface Geometry on Bending Fatigue Life of Face Gear by Yan Hongzhi, Wen Guangxu, Li Chao, Zhou Tengfei

“…Based on the coordinate transformation and meshing theory,the tooth surface equation of face gear is deduced.The finite element model of the different parameters（pressure angle,modulus）of face gear transmission is built,the influence of tooth face parameters on tooth root bending stresses,contact area and the distribution rule of bending stresses along the direction of tooth height and width are analyzed.Based on modified local stress-strain method,the fatigue crack initiation life in different roughness of grinding and milling tooth face is calculated.And the fatigue crack propagation life is predicted with damage tolerant design method.The results prove that the pressure angle has a great influence on the tooth face bending fatigue life,especially for the crack initiation life.A larger pressure angle is helpful to improve the tooth face bending fatigue comprehensive life.In addition,grinding method is more conducive to improve the tooth face bending fatigue life than milling method.This study provides a basis for the anti-fatigue design of face gear.…”

Fatigue in chronic liver disease patients: prevalence, pathophysiology, and management by Artur Kośnik, Maciej Wójcicki

“…In CLD patients, fatigue manifests with both central symptoms, characterised by cognitive impairment, sleep disturbance, apathy, and autonomic dysfunction, and peripheral symptoms, characterised by decreased exercise tolerance and reduced physical activity levels. The pathogenesis of fatigue in CLD is multifactorial and involves changes in the brain–liver axis resulting from changes in inflammatory cytokines or the gut microbiome. …”
