Artificial neural networks in predicting impaired bone metabolism in diabetes mellitus by S. S. Safarova

“…Further, the obtained data were processed using the MATLAB software to develop an ANN with a training (80%) and test (20%) set. The ANN model was trained by optimizing the relationship between a set of input data (a number of clinical and laboratory parameters: gender, age, body mass index, duration of diabetes mellitus, etc.) and a set of corresponding output data (variables reflecting the state of bone metabolism: bone mineral density, markers of bone remodeling).Results. …”

Lightweight security architecture design for wireless sensor network by Chao WANG, Guang-yue HU, Huan-guo ZHANG

“…Most previous security proposal did not consider key management or their authentication efficiency was very low.Lightweight security architecture and lightweight security algorithm were proposed for wireless sensor network,The problem of network encounters malicious nodes maybe occur in the procedure of backbone networks networking could be solved by threshold secret sharing mechanism.The lightweight ECC was proposed to optimize the CPK architecture based on normal ECC,authentication was efficient without the third-party CA,and could reduce the computational complexity,the key management could meet the resource limit in wireless sensor network,and the key security depended on the exponential computation complexity of the elliptic discrete logarithm decomposition.The scheme used the improved two-way authentication to ensure the communication security between common node and sink node,which could prevent man-in-the-middle attack.…”
