The Effectiveness of Unimodal and Multimodal Warnings on Drivers’ Response Time: A Meta-Analysis by Ao Zhu, Ko-Hsuan Ma, Annebella Tsz Ho Choi, Duoduo Hu, Chuan-Peng Hu, Peng Peng, Jibo He

“…The results showed: First, both auditory warnings (pooled Hedges’ <i>g</i> = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.34 to 1.61, <i>p</i> < 0.01) and tactile warnings (pooled Hedges’ <i>g</i> = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.22 to 1.32, <i>p</i> < 0.01) were found to reduce the response time significantly compared to no warning, but visual warnings did not produce significant benefit; Second, tactile warnings outperformed the visual warnings (pooled Hedges’ <i>g</i> = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.11 to 1.37, <i>p</i> < 0.05); Third, auditory-tactile bimodal warnings surpassed unimodal warnings (<i>p</i> < 0.05); Fourth, drivers’ response time under trimodal warning conditions were shorter than that under bimodal warning conditions but not in a significant level. …”

Mobile malware traffic detection approach based on value-derivative GRU by Hanxun ZHOU, Chen CHEN, Runze FENG, Junkun XIONG, Hong PAN, Wei GUO

“…For the dramatic increase in the number and variety of mobile malware had created enormous challenge for information security of mobile network users,a value-derivative GRU-based mobile malware traffic detection approach was proposed in order to solve the problem that it was difficult for a RNN-based mobile malware traffic detection approach to capture the dynamic changes and critical information of abnormal network traffic.The low-order and high-order dynamic change information of the malicious network traffic could be described by the value-derivative GRU approach at the same time by introducing the concept of “accumulated state change”.In addition,a pooling layer could ensure that the algorithm can capture key information of malicious traffic.Finally,simulation were performed to verify the effect of accumulated state changes,hidden layers,and pooling layers on the performance of the value-derivative GRU algorithm.Experiments show that the mobile malware traffic detection approach based on value-derivative GRU has high detection accuracy.…”
