Destruction Law of Borehole Surrounding Rock of Granite under Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Coupling by Jinwen Wu, Zijun Feng, Shuping Chen, Wenmei Han

“…During fracture propagation, high-temperature steam more easily penetrates the rock because its viscosity is lower than water. Towards the end of the crack expansion, the steam loses heat and liquefies, which increases the elongation resistance, and results in the arrest and intermittent expansion of the cracks.…”

Dynamic migration method of key virtual network function based on risk awareness by Shaohu DING, Jichao XIE, Peng ZHANG, Liming PU, Yunjie GU

“…Aiming at the problems that traditional dynamic migration methods have many migration nodes,high migration frequency,and long service function chain (SFC) link path after migration when dealing with side channel attack,a dynamic migration method of critical virtual network function (VNF) based on risk awareness was proposed.In order to reduce the number of migrated nodes,only the key VNF with private information was migrated.Combined with the side channel attack detection system,the triggering migration was performed on the critical VNF which were under attack,and the key VNF was also periodically migrated according to the side channel information leakage model.Finally,a multi-attribute node sorting method base on the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution was used to select the migration destination server to avoid the path being too long after migration.Experiments show that the proposed method has a lower number of migration nodes and migration frequency when achieving the same side channel attack defense performance,and effectively avoids the problem that the SFC path is too long after migration.…”

Nonlinear Dynamic Behavior of Winding Hoisting Rope under Head Sheave Axial Wobbles by Guoying Wang, Xingming Xiao, Chi Ma, Gang Cheng, Xiao Di

“…The dynamic responses of the hoisting rope under the head sheave axial wobbles are given by MATLAB simulation when the winding hoist is lifting or lowering. The results show that lateral vibration displacements of the vertical rope under the head sheave axial wobbles are larger than those of the catenary rope. …”

Choice of Unmanipulated T Cell Replete Graft for Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplant and Posttransplant Cyclophosphamide in Hematologic Malignancies in Adults: Peripheral Blood or... by Shatha Farhan, Edward Peres, Nalini Janakiraman

“…This is probably because it does not require expertise in graft manipulation and because of the lower costs. However, there are still lots of unanswered questions, like the effect of use of bone marrow versus peripheral blood as the source of stem cells on graft-versus-host disease, graft versus tumor, overall survival, immune reconstitution, and quality of life. …”
