Detection method of LDoS attacks based on combination of ANN ＆ KPCA by Zhijun WU, Liang LIU, Meng YUE

“…Low-rate denial-of-service (LDoS) attack is a new type of attack mode for TCP protocol.Characteristics of low average rate and strong concealment make it difficult for detection by traditional DoS detecting methods.According to characteristics of LDoS attacks,a new LDoS queue future was proposed from the router queue,the kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) method was combined with neural network,and a new method was present to detect LDoS attacks.The method reduced the dimensionality of queue feature via KPCA algorithm and made the reduced dimension data as the inputs of neural network.For the good sell-learning ability,BP neural network could generate a great LDoS attack classifier and this classifier was used to detect the attack.Experiment results show that the proposed approach has the characteristics of effectiveness and low algorithm complexity,which helps the design of high performance router.…”

Lessons from a Mouse Model Characterizing Features of Vascular Cognitive Impairment with White Matter Changes by Masafumi Ihara, Hidekazu Tomimoto

“…It is characterized by cerebrovascular white matter changes; thus, in order to investigate the underlying mechanisms involved in white matter changes, a mouse model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion has been developed, which involves the narrowing of the bilateral common carotid arteries with newly designed microcoils. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive summary of the achievements made with the model that shows good reproducibility of the white matter changes characterized by blood-brain barrier disruption, glial activation, oxidative stress, and oligodendrocyte loss following chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. …”
