Characterization and process development for the selective removal of Sn, Sb, and As from anode slime obtained from electrolytic copper refining by Steinlechner S.

“…The aim of this work was to develop a process for the removal of Sn, Sb and As from anode slime out of copper refinery to disburden a subsequent pyrometallurgical processing for precious metals refinement. For this reason, a detailed literature survey was conducted, followed by a characterization to find the present compounds/alloys and their morphology. …”

RAISING QUALIFICATION OF ENGINEERING PERSONNEL: ORGANIZATIONAL NOVATIONS AND EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES by Vasyliy G. Ivanov, Svetlana V. Barabanova, Olga Yu. Khatsrinova

“…The authors reveal the problems of implementing the additional educational programs for engineering personnel such as alienation from the real practice, interdisciplinary approach ignoring, neglect of students’ personal professional and social experience and others. So, this is the reason for development of innovative strategies for additional vocational training in conditions of public-private partnership and forconstructing a system of listeners’ scientific and methodological support. …”

Principal component analysis of time delay in large IP network by Xuan WEI, Xiaoying HUANG

“…Network time delay is one of the key indexes to evaluate network performance.Principal component analysis (PCA) is a kind of multivariable analysis and declination algorithm commonly used in the field of data mining.Based on PCA analysis of time delay in large IP networks, aiming to find out the deep reason of time delay and the interdependencies among nodes of the network, a scientific and reasonable network time delay evaluation system was built, and effective suggestions for IP network construction and optimization were finally got.The off-line analysis of the historical network delay is only a preliminary application of the PCA.In the future, PCA can be applied to the real-time on-line monitoring and analysis of the network performance, such as network traffic, network delay, network packet loss, etc., in combination with the network topology, current network traffic direction, routing, distance and other related factors, thus the efficiency and quality of network operations can be further improved.…”

Investigation and analysis of the weakness and efficiency of generalized cycling attacks on RSA modulus by JIANG Zheng-tao1, HUAI Jin-peng2, WANG Yu-min4

“…The efficiency of attacking methods on secure RSA modulus was investigated.It was pointed out by analysis that since the success probability of some attack methods was neglectable,these methods could not be regarded as the reason for choosing strongly secure RSA modulus.In consideration of the analysis of attack methods,the signification of secure RSA modulus was summarized,which enhanced the efficiency of selecting secure parameters in practice.The result that the difference between two RSA primes d=|p-q| must not be too small was further investigated,and the d might be seen as a special case when dl,m=ql-pm（l,m∈Z+） was small.From the analysis,it could be figured out that the randomness of the relation between the two primes should not be neglected during selecting RSA modulus.To improve the security,it should be avoided to have some specially functional relations between the two primes when choosing a…”

T2K and Beyond by M. G. Catanesi

“…The observation of the electron neutrino appearance in a muon neutrino beam and the new high-precision measurements of the mixing angle θ13 by the reactor experiments have led to a reevaluation of the expected sensitivity to the oscillation parameters, relative to what was given in the original T2K proposal. For this reason the new physics potential of T2K for 7.8×1021 p.o.t. and for data exposure 3 times larger than that expected to be reachable with accelerator and beam line upgrades in 2026 before the start of operation of the next generation of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments will also be described in the text. …”
