Dynamic game and reliable recommendation based transferring reputation mechanism for mobile cloud computing by Hui LIN, Mengyang YU, Youliang TIAN, Yijie HUANG

“…The booming development of the mobile internet and cloud computing leads to the emerging of many mobile cloud platforms based services.However,since mobile users store lots of data and privacy information in the cloud when they are using the mobile cloud services,they are facing multiple increasingly serious security threats such as data leaks and privacy exposures.The data security and privacy protection was investigated in mobile cloud computing,aiming at the internal bad mouthing attacks and mobile attacks.A dynamic game and reliable recommendation based transferring reputation mechanism was proposed.First,a dynamic game based recommendation incentive mechanism was proposed.Secondly,a reliable recommendation reputation evaluation model was established based on the incentive mechanism.Last,a novel transferring reputation mechanism was proposed that combined the above mentioned incentive mechanism and reputation evaluation model.Simulation results demonstrate the proposed transferring reputation mechanism can defend against the internal bad mouthing attacks and mobile attacks effectively,enhance the credibility of mobile terminals and improve the data security and privacy protection of mobile cloud services.…”

Role of Heme Oxygenase in Inflammation, Insulin-Signalling, Diabetes and Obesity by Joseph Fomusi Ndisang

“…A common denominator of these chronic conditions is the enhanced the levels of cytokines like tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL-6), IL-1β and resistin, which in turn activates the c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and NF-κB pathways, creating a vicious cycle that exacerbates insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes and related complications. …”

Human in the loop. L’essere umano come fattore condizionante della – o condizionato dalla – intelligenza artificiale by Dario Martire

“…“Human in the loop” (HITL) indica un approccio in cui l’essere umano è coinvolto nel ciclo di addestramento e test degli algoritmi, mantenendo un ruolo centrale nei processi decisionali. Tuttavia, il termine “loop” può anche significare “cappio” e descrivere un essere umano intrappolato in un ciclo ripetitivo e chiuso. …”

Indoor carrier phase positioning algorithm based on time-varying clock error elimination by Shaoshuai FAN, Zhiqiang RONG, Hui TIAN, Lihua LI, Xiaoqi QIN

“…To solve the problems of low positioning accuracy of traditional positioning algorithm and unsynchronized system clock in indoor wireless environment, a 3D positioning algorithm was proposed based on the fusion of triple-differential carrier phase measurements and time difference of arrival (TDoA) positioning.Considering that the time-varying clock offsets between wireless access points lead to lower positioning accuracy, the measurements from a reference terminal were used to eliminate the influence of time-varying clock offsets.The relative positions were estimated based on triple-differential carrier phase measurements, which were fused with unbiased differential TDoA positioning results to obtain the interim estimated positions.Furthermore, the carrier phase observation equations were linearized by Taylor expansion method, and the high-accuracy positioning was realized by solving the integer ambiguities.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm eliminates the influence of time-varying clock offsets on positioning performance, and the integer ambiguities are resolved in a short time to achieve high-accuracy positioning.…”

Technical perspective and simulation platform for 5G integrated communication and high precision localization by Xinghua JIA, Peng LIU, Wangdong QI, Shengheng LIU, Yongming HUANG, Jialu LI, Jia XU

“…Providing integrated communication and positioning services for smart terminals using widely deployed 5G infrastructure has been a promising way during the 5G standard evolution.Especially in an indoor scenario where the global navigation satellite system fails, high-accuracy localization services can be provided based on the 5G infrastructure, and thus, 5G integrated communication and localization will enable much vertical industry applications.However, there still exist many technical challenges for providing sub-meter-level 5G localization in practical applications.In addition, there is no unified testbed or platform to support the development of 5G localization.Firstly, the challenges that 5G positioning methods face in achieving indoor sub-meter accuracy were analyzed.Then the design of 5G positioning simulator focusing on 5G classical scenarios was introduced.Numerical results show that the uplink-angle-of-arrival-based approach can achieve sub-meter localization accuracy.Finally, the industrialization prospects of 5G indoor high-accuracy positioning technology were proposed.…”

Modeling, Testing, and Characteristic Analysis of a Planetary Flywheel Inerter by Zheng Ge, Weirui Wang

“…Theoretical analysis shows that the output force of the planetary flywheel inerter is proportional to the relative acceleration of one terminal of the inerter to the other. Optimizing the gear ratio of the planetary gears to the ring gear allows the planetary flywheel to be lighter than its traditional counterpart, without any loss on the inertance. …”
