Young people’s participation in the recruitment and selection process for secure care staff by Kirsten McManus

“…Important policy documents have called for greater involvement of children and young people in selection (e.g. Kent, 1997). Research also recognises the political, legal, social and moral reasons for promoting greater participation by young people in matters which affect their lives (Sinclair, 2004). …”

Image encryption algorithms based on chaos through dual scrambling of pixel position and bit by Xiao-heng DENG, Chun-long LIAO, Cong-xu ZHU, Zhi-gang CHEN

“…As the current popular chaos-based image encryption algorithms with the permutation–diffusion structure have security flaws of no immunity to attack.A new image encryption algorithm was proposed based on the analysis of current algorithms,which can well resist the chosen-plaintext and the chosen-ciphertext attacks.The algorithm uses Kent chaotic map to generate key streams,and produces the parameters of the chaotic system and the iteration times according to the characteristics of plaintext pixels and input key.Firstly,the positions of pixels were shuffled totally with the chaotic sequence.Secondly,the 0 and 1 bit positions of image pixels were scrambled by using another chaotic sequence generated by the input key.The experimental results show that the algorithm cannot only resist the chosen plaintext attack and chosen ciphertext attack but also achieve better cryptographic properties,such as key space,statistical analysis.…”

Wireless sensor node localization based on IPSO-MC by Yongyan LI, Jianping WU

“…To solve the problem of insufficient node positioning accuracy in wireless sensor networks,an algorithm based on improved particle swarm optimization by membrane computing (IPSO-MC) was proposed.Kent mapping was used to initialize the population and domain particles were introduced to improve the global optimization of the particle swarm.The weight factor and nonlinear extreme value perturbation were used to improve the local optimization ability of the particle swarm,and the Levy flight mechanism was used to optimize the individual position.Finally,the optimal solution of the particle swarm algorithm was obtained by the evolutionary rules of the membrane computing.Simulation experiments show that compared with the chicken flock algorithm,the improved particle swarm algorithm and the membrane computing,the proposed algorithm improves 3.24%,5.12% and 8.15% in the comparison of reference node ratio indicators,and the increase in the number of nodes indicators by 2.26%,7.82% and 9.81%,and the comparison of communication radius indicators increased by 2.15%,5.5% and 7.5%,respectively.This indicates that the algorithm has a good effect in node localization.…”
