Fully implicit numerical integration of the Yoshida-Uemori two-surface plasticity model with isotropic hardening stagnation by Riccardo Fincato, Seiichiro Tsutsumi, Alex Zilio, Gianluca Mazzucco, Valentina Salomoni

“…This plasticity theory allows to describe the deformation behavior under large strain cyclic plasticity and the material stress-strain responses at small-scale re-yielding after large pre-straining. A novel strategy to model the isotropic hardening stagnation is developed within a fully implicit integration scheme in order to speed up the computation and to improve the material description.…”

Fast and resource efficient method for indoor localization based on fingerprint with varied scales by Yanfen LE, Zhuo TANG, Cunbao SHENG, Weibin SHI

“…To improve the prediction speed in indoor localization,a novel algorithm based on fingerprint with varied scales was proposed.It divided the region of interest into distinct zones with distinctive coverage indicators,and reference positions with different distribution density were set in the region.According the time relevance and strength vary of the RSS from the anchors,the grids-matching process was greatly sped up for the usage of coverage indictors and the features of the location fingerprint extracted with the PCA,which made the proposed method fit the demand of application with limited power and memory.Experimental results indicate that accuracy of the positioning is ensured with the reduced energy-consuming,and more flexible about the number of anchors and the grid distribution.…”

Hardware Trojans detection based on projection pursuit by Peng ZHANG, Xin-cheng WANG, Qing ZHOU

“…A novel hardware Trojans detection technique using the side channel signals of chips was proposed.Based on the projection pursuit with absolute information divergence index,this technique could find out the data structure enables reflect high dimension special rules without obvious i tion loss,so as to attain the goal of feature abstraction and identification on side channel signals of IC chips.The detection experiment against an exemplary AES-128 hardware Trojan circuit showed that the technique could distinguish the difference of side channel signal's feature between the genuine chip and tested chip,and consequently could detect the existence of the hardware Trojan.…”

Image steganography based on nonsubsampled Contourlet transform and Hill cipher by Shuliang SUN

“…A novel image steganography was proposed，which was based on nonsubsampled Contourlet transform （NSCT）and Hill cipher.Firstly，cover image was decomposed with NSCT.It provided a multi-scale and multi-directional representation of an image.One of subbands was selected to embed secret data.Then Hill cipher was applied to encrypt the secret message.How to find a proper cipher matrix was important in this way.The selected matrix should be inevitable and relatively prime to the number of alphabets.The skill of 2^k correction was applied to ease the difference between cover and stego image.Experiment results show that both stego image and retrieved image have better image quality with the proposed approach than other methods.…”

Time series data aggregation algorithm with synchronous prediction for WBAN by Ru-yan WANG, Mei-ling ZHAI, Da-peng WU

“…Due to the nonlinearity and nonstationarity of the physiological data sensed by WBAN,data aggregation cannot be effectively achieved according to the time-domain trend of data.Therefore,a novel time series data aggregation algorithm with synchronous prediction was proposed.By preprocessing the original sensing data with the multi-resolution analysis,the inherent characteristics of the physiological data can be obtained to establish a light-weight synchronous prediction model at both the sensor and sink.Numerical results show that the proposed aggregation algorithm can achieve a favorable prediction precision and a low energy consumption rate by eliminating the in-network data redundancy.…”
