Differential privacy protection scheme based on edge betweenness model by Haiping HUANG, Kai WANG, Xiong TANG, Dongjun ZHANG

“…With the continuous development of social network application,user’s personal social data is so sensitive that the problem of privacy protection needs to be solved urgently.In order to reduce the network data sensitivity,a differential privacy protection scheme BCPA based on edge betweenness model was proposed.The 2K sequence corresponding to the graph structure based on the dK model was captured,and 2K sequences based on the edge betweenness centrality were reordered.According to the result of reordering,the 2K sequence was grouped into several sub-sequences,and each sub-sequence was respectively added with noise by a dK perturbation algorithm.Finally,a social network graph satisfying differential privacy was generated according to the new 2K sequences after integration.Based on the real datasets,the scheme was compared with the classical schemes through simulation experiments.The results demonstrate that it improves the accuracy and usability of data while ensuring desired privacy protection level.…”

Research on River Health Assessment of Hanjiang River Basin by ZHANG Yajuan, ZHAO Xiaochen, CHEN Jipei

“…Health assessment of rivers and lakes is an important means of their health management.To meet the requirements of ecological civilization construction and river chief system in the new circumstances,this paper performs the classified assessment and comprehensive evaluation of the Hanjiang River Basin from five aspects:hydrological integrity,morphological and structural integrity,chemical integrity,biological integrity,and the sustainability of social service function according to the relevant methods in the Technical Guidelines for River and Lake Health Assessment (SL/T 793—2020).The assessment results show that the Hanjiang River Basin is in a state of health overall,and the score of the main stream of the Hanjiang River is slightly higher than that of its tributaries.The hydrological integrity and biological integrity of the sub-criterion layer are weak,which leads to the ecological conditions in a state ranging from sub-health to health.The social service function of the sub-criterion layer is sustainable,and the functional status is in the state of health.The health assessment of rivers and lakes in the Hanjiang River Basin is of great significance to promote its water resources protection and water environment management and ensure the sustainable utilization of its water resources.…”

Design of Compact Circularly-Polarized and Broadband Slot-Loaded Microstrip Patch Antenna by Fang Yang, Mingfei Wei, Min Wang, Chun Wang, Junni Zhou

“…The design method of a compact cross slot broadband or and circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna was presented.A wide cross-shaped slot was embedded on the square patch for size reduction.The substrate was a stacked structure of an FR4 and an air layer.An L-shaped strip was added in the slot and only by changing the feeding point on the strip,circular polarization or broad impedance bandwidth can be obtained.ANSYS HFSS simulation results show that the circular polarization bandwidth（AR≤3 dB）and impedance bandwidth（VSWR≤2） were 1.7% and 5.8%,respectively.The antenna had stable power gain within a broad bandwidth and its peak power gain was 7.8 dB.Meanwhile,52.3% patch area reduction can be achieved.The impedance bandwidth can be improved to 9.4 % by varying the feeding location and adjusting the two resonance frequencies of the antenna.Compared with traditional microstrip patch antennas,the impedance bandwidth was improved 114%.…”
