Terahertz Spectral Characteristics of Konjac Gum Determined via Microfluidic Technology by Huimin Jiang, Qingjun Li, Yan Shen, Hangyu Zhou, Yuchai Li, Bo Su, Cunlin Zhang

“…Terahertz radiation enables nondestructive testing of biological samples, but is challenged by its high absorption in aqueous samples, so microfluidic technology is introduced to reduce the absorption. In this study, we designed a special temperature control device and an electric field device for a microfluidic chip to examine the terahertz spectral characteristics of konjac gum at different temperatures, concentrations, and electric field exposure time using the terahertz time domain spectroscopy system. …”

Evaluation approach for network components performance using trustworthiness measurement by Gang XIONG, Ju-long LAN, Yu-xiang HU, Shi-ran LIU

“…For the network components selecting problem involved the process of building the new network and net-work service,a network component evaluation method was proposed based on the trustworthiness measurement and the model of the multiple attribute decision analysis.First of all,according to the flexible characteristics of the network ap-plication environment,an on-demand driven and dynamic strategy was designed for constructing trustworthiness index tree.Secondly,the uncertainty of the subjective weight was reduced by using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process,and the combination weight calculated from the subjective objective weight was used to improve the fairness of weight-ing operation.Next,in the decision stage,the evaluation results were obtained through the integrated use of processing strategies which include the index data utility transformation,the trustworthiness attribute vector construction and the calculation of vector relative approximation degree.Finally,the rationality,applicability and validity of the presented ap-proach are demonstrated with the evaluation of the software defined network controllers,and the results contribute to provide operators more decision information.…”

MP-Start:bandwidth measurement based and phase-divided TCP slow start mechanism by DENG Xiao-heng1, CHEN Zhi-gang1, ZHANG Lian-ming1, ZENG Bi-qing1

“…To set appropriate threshold value（ssthresh） of slow start and eliminate network oscillation caused by bursty traffic,a new measurement-based and phase-divided slow start mechanism was proposed,which was called MP-Start.MP-Start employs effective online bandwidth measurement technology to update the ssthresh with appropriate value dy-namically,and adjusts the increment of congestion window（cwnd） in different phase of the startup.MP-Start increases cwnd with half of the difference between ssthesh and cwnd,iterates and gradually closes up ssthresh,of which the incre-ment is small at start phase and end phase and comparatively large at the middle phase of the startup of a connection,the largest increment is no more than one quarter of ssthresh.In order to improve the performance of this algorithm,a flexi-ble parameterized model and an adaptive parameter setting solution are designed.And series simulation experiments in-dicate that MP-Start significantly decreases dropped packets,data transforming time,packet queue length of shared link,and also improves network performance and smoothness of connections.…”

Privacy protection system based on Hook for Android by Xiaoyan ZHU, Hui ZHANG, Jianfeng MA

“…A privacy protection system based on Hook technology was designed and implemented to address the problem of user privacy leakage caused by malicious applications in Android.The system consists of three modules:application classification module,privacy information management module and collusion attack management module.The application classification module constructs classification model by using permission feature vectors and then classifies mobile applications into malicious applications and normal applications.The privacy information management module hooks all privacy-related application programming interfaces (API) based on Hook technology and then intercepts malicious applications by returning false data or empty data.The collusion attack management module hooks all inter-application communication channels and then intercepts corresponding communication contents by using the permission rules of collusion attack.Finally,the proposed privacy protection scheme on Android virtual machine was implemented to prove and its feasibility and effectiveness were proved.In addition,the system can intercept application behaviors of breaching privacy in real time with less memory,which does not need to modify Android system and applications.…”
