Hybrid tabu search algorithm for excellent Boolean function by Weiqiong WANG, Haojie XU, Meng CUI, Qiong XIE

“…Boolean function in symmetric cryptographic algorithm must satisfy excellent cryptographic criteria to ensure the security of the algorithm.By combining the advantages of tabu search algorithm and hill climbing algorithm, a new heuristic generation algorithm called hybrid tabu search algorithm for excellent Boolean function was proposed.A large number of Boolean function with high nonlinearity, low autocorrelation, one-resilient, optimal algebraic degree, optimal algebraic immunity, optimal (suboptimal) resistance to fast algebraic attacks could be obtained quickly by applying the proposed algorithm.Simulation results demonstrate that the cryptographic properties of the Boolean function obtained by the proposed algorithm with strong search ability and fast running speed are better than the results of known optimization algorithm.Moreover, the algorithm also provides good Boolean function that cannot be obtained by using construction method.…”

Design and characteristic analysis of fiber optic Fabry-Perot sensor for static ice strain monitoring by Mengxing HUANG, Yuhang LI, Guanjun WANG, Jianxun LIU, Lu YAN, Longjuan WANG

“…Sea ice is one of the important natural disasters.A new method based on optical fiber Fabry-Perot sensor for ice strain measurement was proposed to meet the needs of ice strain monitoring.A high sensitivity optical fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor with thin-film structure was realized by means of pressure assisted arc discharge method,and the sensor was encapsulated by metal tube /PDMS /AB epoxy glue combination method.On this basis,the static internal strain characteristics of ice in the process of melting and freezing during -15℃～0℃ was studied.Experimental results show that this proposed thin-film fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor has good sensitivity characteristic in ice strain monitoring,it is believed of great value for the monitoring of remote distributed sea samples.…”

On the sensitivity of feature ranked lists for large-scale biological data by Danuta Gaweł, Krzysztof Fujarewicz

“…The problem of feature selection for large-scale genomic data, for example from DNA microarray experiments, is one of the fundamental and well-investigated problems in modern computational biology.From the computational point of view, a selected gene list should be characterized by good predictive power and should be understood and well explained from the biological point of view.Recently, another feature of selected gene lists is increasingly investigated, namely their stability which measures how the content and/or the gene order change when the data are perturbed.In this paper we propose a new approach to analysis of gene list stability, termed the sensitivity index, that does not require any data perturbationand allows the gene list that is most reliable in a biological sense to be chosen.…”
