‘Avoidance Preening’, Displacement Behavior and Co-Dependency in Professional Team Sport: When Wants Become More Important Than Needs by Blake D. McLean, Donnie S. Strack, David T. Martin

“…In the professional era, over utilization of resources, in pursuit of physical optimization, can detract from time spent on priorities. Athletes’ non-strategic, time-demanding focus on physical preparation/treatments resembles avian ‘avoidance preening’, whereby stressful situations trigger birds to excessively preen in place of more productive activities. …”

Multipath inter-domain routing for named data networking by Xiao-yan HU, Jian GONG

“…To facilitate content retrieval among NDN domains,a multipath inter-domain routing for named data networking(MIRNDN)was proposed.Under MIRNDN,an AS(autonomous system)maintained merely the routing state of content reachable from its own network or from its customers’ networks and aggregated routing information to mitigate routing scalability issue; “valley free”routing policy was applied to guide Interest packets that solicit content unreachable from the AS’s own network nor from its customers’ networks to explore matching data packets via multiple paths,and NDN’s requests aggregation,in-network caching and adaptive forwarding optimized such exploration; the reachability information of content from multiple paths was collected to support Interest multipath forwarding.The properties of FIB size and the convergence time and communication cost of routing update under MIRNDN were analyzed in theory.The experimental results in the AS level topology of current Internet validates that MIRNDN mitigates the scalability issue of NDN inter-domain routing,has relative short convergence time and moderate communication cost for routing update,and effectively reduces unnecessary Interest forwarding.…”

Detection method of LDoS attack based on ACK serial number step-length by Zhijun WU, Qingbo PAN, Meng YUE

“…Low-rate denial of service (LDoS) attack is a potential security threat to big data centers and cloud computing platforms because of its strong concealment.Based on the analysis of network traffic during the LDoS attack,statistical analysis was given of ACK packets returned by the data receiver to the sender,and result reveals the sequence number step had the characteristics of volatility during the LDoS attack.The permutation entropy method was adopted to extract the characteristics of volatility.Hence,an LDoS attack detection method based on ACK serial number step permutation entropy was proposed.The serial number was sampled and the step length was calculated through collecting the ACK packets that received at the end of sender.Then,the permutation entropy algorithm with strong time-sensitive was used to detect the mutation step time,and achieve the goal of detecting LDoS attack.A test-bed was designed and built in the actual network environment for the purpose of verifying the proposed approach performance.Experimental results show that the proposed approach has better detection performance and has achieved better detection effect.…”
