Vibration control in buildings under seismic excitation using optimized tuned mass dampers by Francisco da Silva Brandão, Letícia Fleck Fadel Miguel

“…The results showed that all proposed scenarios are efficient in reducing top floor response and interstory drift to values below of the interstory drift limits allowed by the standard code consulted. However, Scenario 2 presented the best reduction for the top displacement and interstory drift to the critical floor for the worst earthquake considered.…”

Approach of detecting low-rate DoS attack based on combined features by Zhi-jun WU, Jing-an ZHANG, Meng YUE, Cai-feng ZHANG

“…LDoS (low-rate denial of service) attack is a kind of RoQ (reduction of quality) attack which has the characteristics of low average rate and strong concealment.These characteristics pose great threats to the security of cloud computing platform and big data center.Based on network traffic analysis,three intrinsic characteristics of LDoS attack flow were extracted to be a set of input to BP neural network,which is a classifier for LDoS attack detection.Hence,an approach of detecting LDoS attacks was proposed based on novel combined feature value.The proposed approach can speedily and accurately model the LDoS attack flows by the efficient self-organizing learning process of BP neural network,in which a proper decision-making indicator is set to detect LDoS attack in accuracy at the end of output.The proposed detection approach was tested in NS2 platform and verified in test-bed network environment by using the Linux TCP-kernel source code,which is a widely accepted LDoS attack generation tool.The detection probability derived from hypothesis testing is 96.68%.Compared with available researches,analysis results show that the performance of combined features detection is better than that of single feature,and has high computational efficiency.…”
