Cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on crowd trust and decision-making mechanism by Xiao-mao WANG, Chuan-he HUANG, Yi-long LV, Bin WANG, Xi-ying FAN, Hao ZHOU

“…A distributed consensus-based scheme by simulating the crowd trust and decision-making mechanism was proposed.This scheme firstly predicts the dynamic trust value among sensing users by the previous cooperative process,and then generates the user's relative trust value,and makes the data interaction among the users by using the combination of relative trust value and decision-making mechanism.All users' state can reach a consensus as the credible and iterative data interaction.All users get the final results by the determinant algorithm.This new spectrum sensing scheme utilizes the imbalance of each users' sensing ability in the real environment.Each secondary user can maintain cooperation with others only through the local information exchange with the neighbors.It is quite different from traditional spectrum sensing scheme,such as OR-rule,1-out-of-N rule and ordinary iterative method.Three SSDF attacks were analysed,on the basis of the corresponding anti-attack policy was proposed.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the new scheme is better than the existing cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm in accuracy and security.New scheme not only can improve the accuracy of spectrum sensing but also has the strong anti-attack capability.…”

The “Boomerang” iliac crest flap for hemimandible reconstruction in rare Paget's Osteosarcoma: Case report and systematic literature review by Olindo Massarelli, Samira Bucelli, Simone Benedetti

“…Paget's bone disease is a rare disease affecting the skeleton, inducing deformity and weakness of the affected bones and involving the splanchnocranium in only 8–23 % of all cases. One of the most severe and uncommon complications is the malignant transformation into osteosarcoma, occurring in 1.4 % of all cases of Paget's disease and arising in the mandible in extremely rare cases, with only 18 reports described in the literature.The authors present a rare case of a large mandibular Paget's osteosarcoma in a female patient, highlighting the planning and surgical tips for surgical resection and hemimandibular reconstruction with a “boomerang” shaped osteo-myo-cutaneous (OMC) iliac crest flap. …”

A Generalization of Electromagnetic Fluctuation-Induced Casimir Energy by Yi Zheng

“…Intermolecular forces responsible for adhesion and cohesion can be classified according to their origins; interactions between charges, ions, random dipole—random dipole (Keesom), random dipole—induced dipole (Debye) are due to electrostatic effects; covalent bonding, London dispersion forces between fluctuating dipoles, and Lewis acid-base interactions are due to quantum mechanical effects; pressure and osmotic forces are of entropic origin. Of all these interactions, the London dispersion interaction is universal and exists between all types of atoms as well as macroscopic objects. …”
