Nighttime Magnetic Perturbation Events Observed in Arctic Canada: 3. Occurrence and Amplitude as Functions of Magnetic Latitude, Local Time, and Magnetic Disturbance Indices by Mark J. Engebretson, Viacheslav A. Pilipenko, Erik S. Steinmetz, Mark B. Moldwin, Martin G. Connors, David H. Boteler, Howard J. Singer, Hermann Opgenoorth, Audrey Schillings, Shin Ohtani, Jesper Gjerloev, Christopher T. Russell

“…Abstract Rapid changes of magnetic fields associated with nighttime magnetic perturbation events (MPEs) with amplitudes |ΔB| of hundreds of nT and 5–10 min duration can induce geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) that can harm technological systems. This study compares the occurrence and amplitude of nighttime MPEs with |dB/dt| ≥ 6 nT/s observed during 2015 and 2017 at five stations in Arctic Canada ranging from 64.7° to 75.2° in corrected geomagnetic latitude (MLAT) as functions of magnetic local time (MLT), the SME (SuperMAG version of AE) and SYM/H magnetic indices, and time delay after substorm onsets. …”

Investigation of Heat and Mass Transfer in the Process of Fuel Preparation from Biomass Particles with High Moisture by A. V. Mitrofanov, O. B. Kolibaba, R. N. Gabitov, D. A. Dolinin, S. V. Vasilevich

“…In addition, the drying stage is extremely energy-consuming, so reliable prediction of its kinetics largely determines the efficiency of the entire technological process. In the course of the study, the following tasks were solved: a numerical method was developed for describing the processes of internal and external heat and mass transfer problems using an explicit difference approximation of differential equations of heat and mass transfer; parametric identification of the proposed one-dimensional mathematical model was performed using empirical dependencies known from literature sources; empirical verification of the proposed mathematical model was carried out by comparing the calculated forecasts obtained with the results of their own field experiments. …”

Novel continuous identity authentication method based on mouse behavior by Cong YI, Jun HU

“…With the rapid development of Internet technologies, security issues have always been the hot topics.Continuous identity authentication based on mouse behavior plays a crucial role in protecting computer systems, but there are still some problems to be solved.Aiming at the problems of low authentication accuracy and long authentication latency in mouse behavior authentication method, a new continuous identity authentication method based on mouse behavior was proposed.The method divided the user’s mouse event sequence into corresponding mouse behaviors according to different types, and mined mouse behavior characteristics from various aspects based on mouse behaviors.Thereby, the differences in mouse behavior of different users can be better represented, and the authentication accuracy can be improved.Besides, the importance of mouse behavior features was obtained by the ReliefF algorithm, and on this basis, the irrelevant or redundant features of mouse behavior were removed by combining the neighborhood rough set to reduce model complexity and modeling time.Moreover binary classification was adopted.The algorithm performed the training of the authentication model.During identity authentication, the authentication model was used to obtain a classification score based on the mouse behavior collected each time, and then the user’s trust value was updated in combination with the trust model.When the user’s trust value fell below the threshold of the trust model, it might be judged as illegal user.The authentication effect of the proposed method was simulated on the Balabit and DFL datasets.The results show that, compared with the methods in other literatures, this method not only improves the authentication accuracy and reduces the authentication latency, but also has a certain robustness to the illegal intrusion of external users.…”

Review on Applications of System Dynamics Method in Regional Water Demand Prediction by QIN Huanhuan

“…Water resources are the most important basic natural resources for the sustainable development of the social economy,the controlling element of the ecological environment,and strategic economic resources.With the growth in population and economic development,regional water consumption is increasing,and the imbalance between the supply and demand of water resources has become the “bottleneck” restricting regional economic development.Water demand prediction is an important basis for the planning,management,and sustainable utilization of regional water resources,which involves complex factors such as economic,hydrological,meteorological,social,engineering,and technological factors as well as the industrial structure and industrial and agricultural development.The system dynamics method based on the feedback control theory has significant advantages in the dynamic change,causal mechanism analysis,quantitative analysis and simulation of a multi-factor coupled complex giant system.It has been widely used in the prediction of regional water demand.The system dynamics model of regional water demand prediction can decompose a complex social water use system into multiple interconnected and mutually constrained subsystems.It can clearly show the dynamic change process of water demand of each water use subsystem and obtain accurate prediction results of water demand.In this paper,firstly,the characteristics of the system dynamics method are briefly introduced.Then,the applications of this method in regional water demand are summarized and analyzed from four aspects,i.e.…”
