On functionals of a marked Poisson process observed by a renewal process by Jewgeni H. Dshalalow, Jean-Baptiste Bacot

“…A sequence of observations continues until Π crosses some fixed level at one of the observation epochs (the first passage time). In various stochastic models applications (such as queueing with N-policy combined with multiple vacations), it is necessary to operate with the value of Π prior to the first passage time, or prior to the first passage time plus some random time. …”

Design of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Based Pollution-Isolating Suction Water Sampling System by YUAN Zixin, LIANG Wenxi

“…At present,the widely used water sampling equipment and procedures pose a risk of operators being infected with viruses,and the sampling efficiency is low in remote offshore points.In view of these problems,a new unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for pollution-isolating sampling has been designed, and the design scheme of a sterile collection and power distribution system has been proposed.The designed sampling system has identified the optimal scheme through comparative testing in experiments and completed sampling tests at the Guanting reservoir and sampling stability experiment.The system works stably and reliably,effectively isolating pollution and improving efficiency.It is applicable for various purposes such as water environment research,environmental law enforcement and evidence collection,water data collection,and emergency pollution tracking.…”

Selfish mining detection scheme based on the characters of transactions by Heli WANG, Qiao YAN

“…Selfish mining is an attack strategy in Proof-of-Work based blockchains, where attackers withhold their mined blocks to intercept the awards of other honest miners, resulting in higher profitability.This attack undermines the incentive compatibility of Proof-of-Work.Although there are various studies from researchers in recent years, there is no effective detection scheme as the vulnerability of blockchain in propagation delay makes it challenging to distinguish the attackers from honest miners.A scheme for selfish mining detection was introduced.In this scheme, a state value was assigned to the new block based on transaction amount and the transaction fee of the block.By analyzing the relationship between state value and transaction characteristics, we can determine if the block was mined by a selfish miner.The scheme is verified by an experiment with an accuracy of 86.02%.…”
