Aspects of improving metrological characteristics of a sensor based on palladium nanoparticles for methionine determination by Eduard V. Gorchakov, Darya O. Perevezentseva, Elena A. Vaitulevich, Oksana V. Dubinina

“…The composition of the micelles depends on the reducing properties of the reagents used. The reasons for the improved metrological characteristics of methionine determination on an electrochemical sensor based on palladium nanoparticles obtained using sodium citrate are associated with the growth of a shell on the nanoparticle core material, forming a heterostructure. …”

Analysis of Runoff Change and Its Influencing Factors of Miju River Based on Morlet Wavelet Analysis by LI Hongyan, WANG Zhiping, YANG Hua, DONG Xiaohai

“…Since 2011,the annual runoff of the Miju River Basin has been relatively small for 8 consecutive years,and the Miju River is the largest major river into the Erhai Sea,with runoff area and natural runoff accounting for more than 40% of the total flow of the Erhai Sea.Therefore,analyzing the variation characteristics of the annual runoff of Miju River is of great significance to the study of the total water flowing into Erhai Sea.Based on the monitoring data such as flow,precipitation and evaporation of the Liancheng hydrologic station in the basin from 1954 to 2018,this paper studies the change law of runoff cycle and its influencing factors by wavelet analysis.The results show that:The natural annual runoff of Miju River basin in the nearly 65 a decreases with time,with an average annual runoff decrease of 14.35 million m³ per 10 a;The annual runoff is featured with periodic changes of about 9 a,14 a,19 a,and 54 a,which greatly affects the trend of abundance and dryness of annual runoff;There are multiple time scales nesting between the four-season runoff and annual runoff,and the first main period of the four-season and annual runoff is about 54 a;The change trend and fluctuation cycle of annual precipitation and annual runoff of Miju River are similar,with a positive correlation;The annual evaporation has various impact on the annual runoff;The influence of water consumption on runoff in the Miju River Basin is increasing,the conditions of the lower surface are changing more and more,and the relationship between precipitation and runoff varies accordingly,which is one of the main reasons for the significant decrease of runoff in the basin compared with that under same precipitation in the past.…”

Trust evaluation optimization mechanism for cloud user behavior based on FANP by Yi ZHANG, Liqin TIAN, Zenan WU, Wenxing WU

“…The open cloud computing environment is facing security challenges and the traditional user behavior evaluation mechanism cannot guarantee the security of the cloud.In order to scientifically and quantitatively evaluate the user’s behavior trust, ensure the scientific and reasonable weight assignment, improve the security and credibility of user behavior under the cloud platform, a trust evaluation optimization mechanism combined with fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) was designed.In the proposal, user behavior trust evaluation based on one control target was extended to include two control target modules which were historical access behavior and current access environment.At the same time, the historical access behavior module was divided into two aspects: conventional behavior and gray behavior, and the current access environment module was divided into two directions: information integrity and access security.The corresponding control criteria was divided to construct the analytic network process (ANP) model under different control objectives.The limit hypermatrix under each target module was calculated to obtain the final stability weight of each element with the help of network analytic hierarchy process software.And the real user behavior data under the development platform was selected to comprehensively calculate the trust degree under different modules as the final behavior evaluation result.The expansion of the user behavior evaluation module refined the evaluation granularity, which makes the evaluation results more objective and accurate.In the cloud environment with the same malicious ratio, the optimization mechanism has better recognition effect, and it can identify cloud users with low trust efficiently and effectively, so as to improve the security and legitimacy of the cloud.At the same time, it also provids new research direction for solving the problem of user security and credibility, and effective risk control in the cloud environment.…”
