Blockchain-based ARP defense scheme by Fanming LIU, Wei SHI

“…In order to improve the difficulty of maintaining the static binding method when defending against ARP attacks,a defense method was designed with the features of low cost of defense and easy maintenance by using the idea of a blockchain technology.The blockchain structure had been improved,and the transaction index table structure had been designed to identify attacks and update data in a timely manner to prevent subsequent attacks.The content of the transaction index table was updated after the IP address was changed normally to ensure the correctness of the query.Analysis and experiments show that the blockchain-based defense method has the following merits:high security,guaranteeing the data is not tampered with,low cost of maintenance,and effective prevention against ARP spoofing attacks.…”

Las metáforas comestibles en los rituales mexicanos by Danièle Dehouve

“…Starting from the idea that, in a ritual nothing is unpredictable and everything has a sense, it introduces a reflection about the categories of metaphor and metonymy conceived as two founding mechanisms of the human mind, at the same time distinct and closely linked, which express themselves in a verbal and material manner. Difrasismos, often considered to be linguistic techniques typical of ritual mesoamerican speeches, are considered here to be particular cases of « definition by extension », which forms « metonymical series ». …”

Narratives of Judgement: Representations of “Privileged” Jews in Holocaust Documentaries by Adam Brown

“…Taking Levi’s reflections on the “grey zone” as a point of departure, I analyse the ways in which a number of Holocaust documentary narratives construct problematic judgements of privileged Jews; nonetheless, it will be shown that some films engage with the issue in a nuanced manner. While Levi singles out the medium of film as particularly predisposed to simplistic judgements, I argue that documentary film has considerable potential to offer a complex representation of the extreme ethical dilemmas that privileged Jews faced.…”

Research and Practice on the Influence of Hydropower Station Construction on River Connectivity in the Process of Urbanization by WANG Shenfang, YANG Xiaoling, LIANG Wenshan

“…River connectivity features longitudinal,lateral,and vertical dimensions,as well as time.Specifically,the longitudinal dimension (longitudinal connectivity) is highly disturbed and widely affected by human activities in the process of urbanization.Based on the research and practice of the longitudinal river connectivity both in China and abroad in terms of concepts,research mechanisms,and calculation methods,this paper took the Nanshan River Basin in Yunfu city,Guangdong Province as an example and adopted the VCI,barrier coefficient,improved barrier coefficient,and DCI methods to quantitatively evaluate the influence of hydropower station construction on longitudinal river connectivity.In addition,by calculating the impact of each hydropower station on the connectivity,the paper proposed suggestions for restoring the river connectivity in a targeted manner,which provides a reference model for the development and construction of water conservancy and hydropower and the management of small and medium-sized river basins.…”
