Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Polylactic Acid with Aliphatic-Aromatic Polyester by Katsuyoshi Shinyama

“…Assuming an application where polylactic acid (PLA), a hard bioplastic, is used to sheath electrical wire, the author added 20 wt% of aliphatic-aromatic polyester or polybutyrate adipate terephthalate (PBAT), a soft resin, to PLA and then investigated the softened PLA’s mechanical and electrical properties. As a result of adding PBAT to PLA, Tg shifted to about 10°C lower than PLA. …”

Cross-network access control mechanism for complex network environment by Fenghua LI, Tianzhu CHEN, Zhen WANG, Linjie ZHANG, Guozhen SHI, Yunchuan GUO

“…,integration of multi-network and information flow in cross-network.These characteristics bring access control for complex network environment the new requirement of coarse-grained control,sticky policies and inconsistent operation semantics.To satisfy these requirements,cross-network access control mechanism in complex network environments (CACCN) was designed by mapping the cyberspace-oriented access control.First of all,the process of mapping was illustrated using the example of space-ground integrated networks.Next,a management model was proposed to manage the control elements in CACCN and a series of management functions were designed by using Z-notation.The analysis on practical example demonstrates that the mechanism can satisfy a series of access control requirements.…”
