Homomorphic signature schemes for single-source and multi-source network coding by Huifang YU, Wen LI

“…To solve the problems of pollution attacks of single-source and multi-source network coding,two homomorphic signature schemes for network coding were proposed.In homomorphic signature for single-source network,the message hash value was signed on the elliptic curve,then the message,hash value and the signature of hash value were output,and the receiving node could verify the signature,the elliptic curve signature based on homomorphism could resist intra/inter-generation pollution attacks.Homomorphic signature from pairings for multi-source network coding could resist pollution attacks,and the introduction of timestamp made it be capable to resist replay attacks.In the random oracle model,it proves that two schemes are all secure under the selective attacks.Analysis shows that two schemes can effectively improve the verification efficiency.…”

Analysis for Spatial Heterogeneity of Water Quality of Rivers in Mingcheng Town by ZHOU Xuexin, ZHAO Xiaochen, ZHANG Shu, GE Xiaoxia

“…To protect and improve the water environment,this paper takes rivers and Gaoming river in Mingcheng Town as research objects,researches the current status of the water environment of 36 monitoring sections,analyzes the spatial variation of six water quality indexes i.e.DO,COD_Mn,COD,BOD₅,NH₃-N and TP by GIS technique and mathematical statistics method,and discusses the influence of land use types on spatial variation of water quality.The results of research show that:the overall water quality of rivers in Mingcheng Town was poor.Water quality indexes showed significantly spatial variation,and the coefficient of variation of NH₃-N and TP was higher than other water quality indexes.In terms of space,compared with other research units,R7 water quality was poorer.Part of the water quality indexes showed obvious spatial concentration and positive spatial autocorrelation.In wet season,there was a significant correlation between land use types such as vegetation,cultivated land and water area and water quality indexes.The agricultural runoff pollution and aquaculture pollution may be the important factors that affect water quality.In dry season,there was no obvious correlation of land use types with water quality indexes.The poor water quality may be caused by the domestic pollution sources,industrial pollution sources and agricultural non-point sources.…”

Analysis of Long-term Water Quality up to the Standard in Jinchuan River Basin Based on Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model by CHEN Liming, YU Xin, JIN Zhe, CHEN Chen, CHEN Liangang, WANG Gaoxu

“…The water quality of the Jinchuan River Basin cannot reach the standard steadily all year round.Thus,after analyzing the pollution characteristics of the basin,this paper proposes three schemes for water quality that can reach the standard in the long term,considering the improvement in the treatment,water supplement,and sewage interception abilities in sewage treatment plans of this basin.Meanwhile,prediction and analysis are also conducted on the water quality improvement effects of each plan.The results are as follows.In current pollution source conditions,regarding the two schemes where sewage treatment efficiency is increased by 10% and the basin water supplement rises by 50% on this basis,the peak concentration of ammonia nitrogen decreases,whereas the concentration is still higher than the Class V water standard.In the third scheme where the inflow concentration can achieve the assessment objectives of a south sewage treatment plant,the pollution load of pollutants into the river is reduced by about 44.4%.Therefore,the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the river network is significantly decreased,and the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the Baotaqiao section of downstream is reduced to 1.85 mg/L.Its water quality can meet the long-term water quality up to the standard in the whole process.The results can provide an effective scientific basis for water pollution control and prevention in the Jinchuan River Basin.…”

Forecasting PM2.5 in Malaysia Using a Hybrid Model by Ezahtulsyahreen Ab. Rahman, Firdaus Mohamad Hamzah, Mohd Talib Latif, Azman Azid

“…Abstract Predicting future PM2.5 concentrations based on knowledge obtained from past observational data is very useful for predicting air pollution. This paper aims to develop a hybrid forecasting model using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Triple Exponential Smoothing (TES) on clustered PM2.5 data from a HPR (High Pollution Region), MPR (Medium Pollution Region), and LPR (Low Pollution Region) in Malaysia. …”
