Location privacy protection for mobile social network by Zhi-kai XU, Hong-li ZHANG, Jian-tao SHI, Zhi-hong TIAN

“…Given its high utility value,mobile social network services(MSNS),however,has raised serious concerns about users’ location privacy.The location privacy requirements of users in MSNS are personal and dynamic,thus a metric called confidence was proposed to quantify the privacy risks.To avoid the adversary inferring users’ privacy,a method of legation privacy protection was designed to calculate the correlation between the locations through lo-cation information,social relation and personal information.Then the correlation and the space-time background were used to evaluate whether the users’ published geo-content meet the user’s privacy requirement.Eventually,our experimental results demonstrate the validity and practicality of the proposed strategy.…”

Performance optimization for mMTC in 5G network with multiple random access schemes by Wen ZHAN, Yiwen LIANG, Xinghua SUN, Xuesong TAN

“…To optimize the support for massive machine type communication (mMTC) services with different traffic characteristics, packet-based random access (PBRA) scheme coexists with the connection-based random access (CBRA) scheme in 5G networks.Yet, given the traffic characteristic of mMTC, which random access scheme should be chosen is still an open issue.To address this issue, the network throughput and signaling overhead analysis of mMTC with PBRA and CBRA were presented, and the problem of throughput maximization while maintaining the signaling-to-throughput ratio below a certain level was solved.Based on this, the optimal access scheme selection strategy and the corresponding optimal network parameter configuration were obtained and verified via simulations.…”

Optimum hierarchical segmentation of OCT images in retina based on macular distance by Jian-feng LI, Yi-zhou LU

“…Retina layering was the basis of optic disc structure analysis and 3D feature extraction of glaucoma.In order to improve the layering effect of retinal OCT images,an intensity based multilayer segmentation algorithm for two-dimensional retinal OCT images was proposed.Through preprocessing and filtering operation,the segmentation algorithm calculated the intensity and intensity gradient of each A-scan in the retinal OCT image to obtain the upper bound RNFL,the dividing line IS and OS,and the lower bound RPE.Then macular distance strategy,calculated by the shortest distance,was used to further optimize the layering result of macular area,so as to achieve layering segmentation of the retinal OCT images.The experimental results show the algorithm has good optimization effect,low time complexity and fast running speed.…”

A hybrid cooperative jamming protocol for full-duplex relay wiretap system by Wei ZHOU, Ruifeng GAO, Xiaodong JI, Zhihua BAO

“…A hybrid cooperative jamming protocol was proposed to improve secrecy capacity for the full-duplex relay system with a passive eavesdropper,which chose the relay-and-source-based cooperative jamming (RSCJ) protocol or the relay-and-destination-based cooperative jamming (RDCJ) protocol according to the channel state information.Taking the self-interference at both the relay and the receiver into consideration,a protocol selection strategy was proposed and the expressions of secrecy outage probability of the system with RSCJ or RDCJ were derived.Simulation results show that the secrecy performance is significantly improved when the proposed hybrid cooperative jamming protocol is applied.Compared to the conventional transmission scheme,the proposed protocol has significant safety performance advantages.…”

Nouvelle méthodologie d’analyse bayésienne du report des voix et de l’abstention lors du deuxième tour des élections by Girondot, Marc

“…The mechanism for deferring votes in two-round elections is a big unknown: does the voter follow a voting instruction, when there is one, or does he develop a personal voting strategy? The information from the counts of the first and second rounds is used to model voter behavior as an inverse problem solved using a Bayesian approach. …”

QL-STCT: an intelligent routing convergence method for SDN link failure by Chuanhuang LI, Yangting CHEN, Jingjing TANG, Jiali LOU, Renhua XIE, Chuntao FANG, Weiming WANG, Chao CHEN

“…Aiming at the problem of routing convergence when SDN link failure occurs, a Q-Learning sub-topological convergence technique (QL-STCT) was proposed to realize intelligent route convergence when SDN links fail.Firstly, some nodes were selected in the network as hub nodes and divides the hub domains according to the hub nodes, and the regional features were constructed with the hub domain as the unit.Secondly, the reinforcement learning agent exploration strategy was proposed by using the features to accelerate the convergence of reinforcement learning.Finally, a sub-topology network was constructed through reinforcement learning to plan the alternate path and ensure the performance of the alternate path in the periodic window.Experimental simulation results show that the proposed method effectively improves the convergence speed and performance of the link failure network.…”

Ewosṭateans at the Council of Florence (1441): Diplomatic Implications between Ethiopia, Europe, Jerusalem and Cairo by Samantha Kelly

“…It further proposes that the monks’ participation in the Council of Florence was part of the Ewosṭateans’ larger strategy of pressuring Ethiopian authorities to adopt their own religious positions, at a time when the king’s sympathy for their views was not yet clear; that the Council of Florence highlighted Ethiopian tensions with the Coptic patriarch in a way that furthered the Ewosṭateans’ goals; and that subsequent events suggest that their participation in the Council did indeed contribute to their full incorporation in the Ethiopian Church, and possibly to King Zära Ya‘ǝqob’s interest in continued European diplomacy.…”
