Forest Tent Caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria Hübner (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) by James R. Meeker

“…Although this univoltine insect is called a tent caterpillar, it is unlike other Malacosoma species in that the larvae do not construct tents. Instead, forest tent caterpillars spin silken mats on the trunks and large branches where they congregate to molt or rest from feeding. …”

Energy Efficient Tree-Based Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks by Ni Chen, Rong Wen

“…The algorithm calculates the optimal number of branches that minimize network energy consumption by constructing a tree-based energy model. Based on the optimal number of branches, with the base station as the root node, a multi-layer tree routing is formed from near to far according to the distance between the node and the base station. …”

An integrated evaluation framework – smartness, well-being, e-maturity – for participatory evaluation of learning ecosystems: first application to two Italian high schools by Carlo Giovannella

“… In this contribution, after a brief analysis of the critical issues associated with learning ecosystem evaluation frameworks, a participatory evaluation approach is proposed that aims to: (a) be people-centered and bring out the perceptions of all categories involved in educational processes – with particular reference to students, teachers and parents; this is in order to mitigate the objectivity bias associated with self-evaluations conducted by internal evaluation teams by means of top-down evaluation models; b) base the evaluation on an integrable set of multidimensional constructs such as smartness – capable of capturing both the “external” well-being associated with the quality of the context and the well-being perceived at an individual level – and e-maturity, i.e. the digital maturity of the context that defines its positioning (vision, plans and actions) with respect to the potential and opportunities offered by the digital transition; c) provide reference values with the intention of making evaluations of educational ecosystems both synchronically and diachronically comparable, as well as allowing for the elaboration of an adequate base of knowledge to facilitate the elaboration of improvement plans and to support evidence-based decision-making. …”

Distributed data trading algorithm based on multi-objective utility optimization by Xiaohong HUANG, Yong ZHANG, Desheng SHAN, Yekui QIAN, Lu HAN, Dandan LI, Qun CONG

“…The traditional centralized data trading models are not well applicable to the current intelligent era where everything is interconnected and real-time data is generated, and in order to maximize the use of collected data, it is essential to design an effective data trading framework.Therefore, a distributed data trading framework based on consortium blockchain was proposed, which realized P2P data trading without relying on a third party.Aiming at the problem that existing data trading models only consider the factors of the data itself and ignore the factors related to user tasks, a bi-level multi-objective optimization model was constructed based on multi-dimensional factors, such as data quality, data attributes, attribute relevance and consumer competition, to optimize the utilities of data provider (DP) and data consumer (DC).To solve the above model, an improved multi-objective genetic algorithm-collaborative NSGAII was proposed, calculated by the cooperation of DP, DC and data aggregator (AG).The simulation results show that the collaborative NSGAII achieves better performance in terms of the utilities of DP and DC, thus realizing more effective data trading.…”

Method for generating pseudo random numbers based on cellular neural network by Li-hua DONG, Guo-li YAO

“…To overcome the degradation characteristics of chaos system due to finite precision effect and improve the sta-tistical performance of the random number,a new method based on 6th-order cellular neural network (CNN) was given to construct a 64-bit pseudo random number generation (PRNG).In the method,the input and output data in every iteration of 6th-order CNN were controlled to improved the performance of the random number affected by chaos degradation.Then the data were XORed with a variable parameter and the random sequences generated by a Logistic map,by which the repeat of generated sequences was avoided,and the period of output sequences and the key space were expended.Be-sides,the new method was easy to be realized in the software and could generate 64 bit random numbers every time,thus has a high generating efficiency.Test results show that the generated random numbers can pass the statistical test suite NIST SP800-22 completely and thus has good randomness.The method can be applied in secure communication and other fields of information security.…”
