Near-source wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, norovirus, influenza virus and RSV across five different sites in the UK. by Jay C Bullen, Mina Mohaghegh, Fatima Tahir, Charlotte Hammer, Jacob Sims, Frederico Myers, Lucas Eisinger, Ali Reza Kasmati, Claire F Trant

“…The key findings are (1) near-source wastewater detections were linked to local events (staff sickness, enhanced cleaning, changing populations); (2) wastewater detections decreased in the order norovirus GII > norovirus GI > SARS-CoV-2 ≈ influenza A ≈ RSV A > influenza B ≈ RSV B; (3) correlation between near-source wastewater data and national surveillance data increases as a function of catchment size and viral prevalence (examples include the SARS-CoV-2 BA.4/BA.5 variant peak at a museum and wastewater tracking the winter norovirus season); (4) strong weekday periodicity in near-source wastewater SARS-CoV-2 detections, with the correlation against COVID-19 case numbers increasing when modelling variable lag times between faecal shedding onset and clinical diagnosis (R2 = 0.45 increases to 0.84-0.86); (5) a log-linear relationship between the frequency of wastewater SARS-CoV-2 detection and log(catchment size⋅viral prevalence) (R2 = 0.6914-0.9066). …”

Design and analysis of intelligent service chain system for network security resource pool by Zenan WANG, Jiahao LI, Chaohong TAN, Dechang PI

“…The traditional network security architecture ensures network security by directing traffic through hardware based network security function devices.Since the architecture consists of fixed hardware devices, it leads to a single form of network security area deployment and poor scalability.Besides, the architecture cannot be flexibly adjusted when facing network security events, making it difficult to meet the security needs of future networks.The intelligent service chain system for network security resource pool was based on software-defined network and network function virtualization technologies, which can effectively solve the above problems.Network security functions of virtual form were added based on network function virtualization technology, combined with the existing hardware network elements to build a network security resource pool.In addition, the switching equipment connected to the network security elements can be flexibly controlled based on software-defined network technology.Then a dynamically adjustable network security service chain was built.Network security events were detected based on security log detection and a expert library consisting of security rules.This enabled dynamic and intelligent regulation of the service chain by means of centralized control in the face of network security events.The deployment process of the service chain was mathematically modeled and a heuristic algorithm was designed to realize the optimal deployment of the service chain.By building a prototype system and conducting experiments, the results show that the designed system can detect security events in seconds and automatically adjust the security service chain in minutes when facing security events, and the designed heuristic algorithm can reduce the occupation of virtual resources by 65%.The proposed system is expected to be applied to the network security area at the exit of the campus and data center network, simplifying the operation and maintenance of this area and improving the deployment flexibility of this area.…”

Deep learning vulnerability detection method based on optimized inter-procedural semantics of programs by Yan LI, Weizhong QIANG, Zhen LI, Deqing ZOU, Hai JIN

“…In recent years, software vulnerabilities have been causing a multitude of security incidents, and the early discovery and patching of vulnerabilities can effectively reduce losses.Traditional rule-based vulnerability detection methods, relying upon rules defined by experts, suffer from a high false negative rate.Deep learning-based methods have the capability to automatically learn potential features of vulnerable programs.However, as software complexity increases, the precision of these methods decreases.On one hand, current methods mostly operate at the function level, thus unable to handle inter-procedural vulnerability samples.On the other hand, models such as BGRU and BLSTM exhibit performance degradation when confronted with long input sequences, and are not adept at capturing long-term dependencies in program statements.To address the aforementioned issues, the existing program slicing method has been optimized, enabling a comprehensive contextual analysis of vulnerabilities triggered across functions through the combination of intra-procedural and inter-procedural slicing.This facilitated the capture of the complete causal relationship of vulnerability triggers.Furthermore, a vulnerability detection task was conducted using a Transformer neural network architecture equipped with a multi-head attention mechanism.This architecture collectively focused on information from different representation subspaces, allowing for the extraction of deep features from nodes.Unlike recurrent neural networks, this approach resolved the issue of information decay and effectively learned the syntax and semantic information of the source program.Experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves an F1 score of 73.4% on a real software dataset.Compared to the comparative methods, it shows an improvement of 13.6% to 40.8%.Furthermore, it successfully detects several vulnerabilities in open-source software, confirming its effectiveness and applicability.…”

App-DDoS detection method using partial binary tree based SVM algorithm by Bin ZHANG, Zihao LIU, Shuqin DONG, Lixun LI

“…As it ignored the detection of ramp-up and pulsing type of application layer DDoS (App-DDoS) attacks in existing flow-based App-DDoS detection methods,an effective detection method for multi-type App-DDoS was proposed.Firstly,in order to fast count the number of HTTP GET for users and further support the calculation of feature parameters applied in detection method,the indexes of source IP address in multiple time windows were constructed by the approach of Hash function.Then the feature parameters by combining SVM classifiers with the structure of partial binary tree were trained hierarchically,and the App-DDoS detection method was proposed with the idea of traversing binary tree and feedback learning to distinguish non-burst normal flow,burst normal flow and multi-type App-DDoS flows.The experimental results show that compared with the conventional SVM-based and naïve-Bayes-based detection methods,the proposed method has more excellent detection performance and can distinguish specific App-DDoS types through subdividing attack types and training detection model layer by layer.…”
