PHYSICAL FIELDS OF CIRCULAR CYLINDRICAL PIEZOCERAMIC RECEIVER IN PRESENCE OF A FLAT ACOUSTIC SOFT SCREEN by A. V. Derepa, A. G. Leiko, O. N. Pozdniakova

“…The aim of the work was to solve the problem of receiving plane sound waves by «cylindrical piezoceramic transducer – flat acoustically soft screen» system.Considered system was characterized by a violation of the radial symmetry of the radiation load of the transducer while maintaining the radial symmetry of the electric load. At the same time, the energy perceived by the system under consideration is distributed between all modes of oscillation of the transducer, while the conversion of mechanical energy into electric is realized only at zero mole of oscillations.Special attention was paid to the method of coupled fields in multiply connected domains using the imaging method. …”

Insider threat detection based on operational attention and data augmentation by Guanyun FENG, Cai FU, Jianqiang LYU, Lansheng HAN

“…In recent years, there has been an increased focus on the issue of insider threats.Insider threats are a major cause security breaches in organizations and pose an ongoing challenge.By analyzing the existing insider threat data, it was identified that the biggest challenge in insider threat detection lies in data imbalance and the limited number of labeled threat samples.In the Cert R4.2 dataset, which is a classic dataset for insider threat detection, there are over 3.22 million log data, but only 7,423 are marked as malicious operation logs.Furthermore, most of the operation types in the logs are not related to malicious behavior, and only two types of operations are highly correlated with malicious behavior, such as leaking company data, creating interference in the detection process.To address this challenge, a data processing framework was designed based on operational attention and data augmentation.Anomaly evaluation was first performed on operations by the framework, and operations with low anomaly scores were then masked.This makes the model better focus on operations related to malicious behavior, which can be considered as a hard attention mechanism for operations.Next, the characteristics of the insider threat dataset were analyzed, and three rules were designed for data augmentation on malicious samples to increase the diversity of samples and alleviate the substantial imbalance between positive and negative samples.Supervised insider threat detection was regarded as a time-series classification problem.Residual connections were added to the LSTM-FCN model to achieve multi-granularity detection, and indicators such as precision rate and recall rate were used to evaluate the model.The results indicate superior performance over existing baseline models.Moreover, the data processing framework was implemented on various classic models, such as ITD-Bert and TextCNN, and the results show that the methods effectively improve the performance of insider threat detection models.…”

Comparative Studies on Trade and Value-Added Trade along the “Belt and Road”: A Network Analysis by Guangjun Sui, Jialing Zou, Shuang Wu, Danling Tang

“…With a thorough interpretation and visualization of the network density, network centrality, trade communities, and influencing factors of both networks in the three time sections of 2005, 2010, and 2015, we come to the following findings: (1) the connectivity of both networks has been greatly enhanced, reflecting a more integrated regional economy. (2) The center-external structure of both networks has been further strengthened and the polarization of the VAT network is more obvious than that of the trade network. (3) The organizations of trade communities and VAT communities are largely different. …”
