System detecting network anomaly with visualization techniques by Haocheng ZHANG, Xiaojie WU, Xiang TANG, Runxuan SHU, Tianchen DING, Xiaoju DONG

“…With the fast development of information technology and computer network,the scale and complexity of network security data grows rapidly.Traditional visualization techniques are no longer suitable.In addition,it designs interactive functions based on the feature of network security analysis,in order to assist the network security analyst.The existing approaches for network security visualization have some defects,which fail to provide a good indication of network security data in terms of timing and also fail to display information completely and realize user-friendly interaction.A multi-view network security visualization system was proposed,which provided the analysts of both the static status and dynamic changes of the network by combining the force-oriented model and the staged animation.It provides comprehensive information with display and filter of protocols,IP segment and port.The system on Shanghai Network database were evaluated.…”

Study on Water Repellency Modification of Strongly Expansive Soil by DING Junhao, CHAI Linchun, ZHANG Jianjun

“…To study the inhibition effect of water-repellent sand on the expansion rate of expansive soil,this study takes the strongly expansive soil of weathered slopes as an example and adds octadecylamine into sand as water repellent agents to improve the expansive soil.The expansion rate tests are carried out on the ring-knife samples with 27 times of compaction,and the expansion and contraction characteristics of modified expansive soil under the optimal water content are revealed.The results indicate that the natural soil changes from hydrophilic to water-repellent upon the addition of water-repellent sand into expansive soil,and the water repellency is significantly enhanced.The optimal water content of the five modified expansive soils decreases with the increase in water repellency,and the expansion rate is reduced from 35% to 9%,which means the expansion characteristics are greatly inhibited.It is feasible to restrain the expansion and seepage of strongly expansive soil by adding water-repellent sand (octadecylamine content of 0.04%).…”
