Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 12 in Cities: Best Practices by Ewa Jastrzębska

“…Although SDG 11, addresses cities directly, all the others contain an “urban” aspect, too. One of the SDGs which is rising in importance due to the global problem of over-consumption and, consequently, over-production of waste is SDG 12 concerning responsible production and consumption. …”

Certificate-based cross-domain authentication scheme with anonymity by Yongshan DING, Lixin LI, Zuohui LI

“…Considered the cross-domain authentication of mobile devices in the Internet of things,a certificate based anonymous cross-domain authentication scheme was proposed.First,combined with the characteristics of PKI and IBS,a certificate based signature (CBS) algorithm was proposed，and the security of the proposed CBS scheme was proved.The verification result of the signature in the algorithm was constant,which ensured the anonymity of the authentication entities in the cross-domain process.The algorithm does not contain pairing,and avoids complex certificate management in traditional PKI and the key escrow and distribution of IBS.Then a cross-domain authentication scheme for mobile devices was constructed by combining the proposed signature algorithm.The scheme ensures the anonymity of authentication at the same time.Finally,compared with other schemes,the scheme proposed is more secure and has less computation cost and communication cost.Moreover,the scheme is simple and efficient,and could be applied to the cross-domain authentication of mobile devices.…”

Compound Fault Diagnosis for Gearbox based on Variational ModeDecomposition and Correlated Kurtosis by Zhang Xin, Zhao Jianmin, Tong Xiaofan, Song Weixing, Ni Xianglong

“…According to the characteristic that the signal can be effectively decomposed into several compact intrinsic mode functions by variational mode decomposition, the compound fault signal are decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions which contains different faults. Then，according to the characteristics that correlated kurtosis can identify the impact signals with different periods, the intrinsic mode functions containing different faults are extracted by using the maximum correlated kurtosis principle. …”

The Mla pathway promotes Vibrio cholerae re-expansion from stationary phase by Deborah R. Leitner, Franz G. Zingl, Alexander A. Morano, Hailong Zhang, Matthew K. Waldor

“…By monitoring the abundances of genomically barcoded libraries of WT and ∆mlaE strains, we observed that a few barcodes dominated the mutant culture at 96 h, suggesting that the similarity of the population sizes at this time was caused by expansion of a subpopulation containing a mutation that suppressed the defect of ∆mlaE. …”

Dynamic generalized principal component analysis with applications to fault subspace modeling by Xiaofeng FENG, Jianfeng XU, Chuan HE

“…In order to solve the problem of inaccurate modeling of fault subspace, traditional fault subspace modeling method did not consider the fact that fault data contain both normal and fault condition information, or did not consider the dynamic factors in the fault data, these flaws may lead to the case that the fault subspace cannot be extracted accurately, a dynamic generalized principal component analysis (DGPCA) method was proposed.By reorganizing the lagged input data, the dynamic characteristics between normal and fault data were extracted by the proposed DGPCA method, and then the fault subspaces could be modeled for further fault diagnosis.Finally, simulation results confirm the availability of the proposed method for fault subspace modeling and fault diagnosis.…”
