Accuracy analysis on access hyper-point real-time detection algorithms in high-speed network by Haiqing YU, Wei DING, Jie XU

“…Real-time access hyper-point helps managers better control the network.Under high-speed network conditions,the difficulty in accessing hyper-point detection lies in the pressure exerted by large traffic on computing.Based on the 40 Gbit/s bandwidth network environment,from the perspective of accuracy analysis,the flow record statistics algorithm and the estimation-based superpoint detection algorithm were compared.The flow record statistical algorithm was improved by the threshold model based on heavy-tailed distribution.The estimation-based superpoint detection algorithm was implemented in the GPU environment by SRLA.The research results show that the estimation-based hyper-point detection algorithm which has obviously higher accuracy and more room for improvement is more suitable for real-time detection of hyper-point in high-speed network than the flow record statistical algorithm.…”

The Future of Abandoned Shallow Mines as a Function of Precipitation Under Changing Climate by Nathalie Conil, Marwan Al Heib

“…The analysis of these events reveals that the primary causes are the extraction ratio, ageing and climatic factors (such as heavy rain, and increasing water levels). Furthermore, a back analysis of a large-scale collapse, the Château-Landon collapse of 1910, showed that the collapse resulted from a combination of the mining conditions and slope instability climate factor, particularly the impact of rainfall on mine stability. …”

Neurosyphilis in interwar period in Lithuania: etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment methods by Š. Jukna, E. Sakalauskaitė-Juodeikienė

“…Wasserman, Pandy and Nonne-Apelt globulin reactions, as well as evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid cytosis were the most commonly used laboratory tests to diagnose the disease. Heavy metal therapy (arsenic, bismuth, mercury salts) and fever therapy (injections of the malaria agent, boiled cow’s milk, neobenzinol and pyrifer) were used to treat neurosyphilis in Lithuania in the period of 1920-1939. …”

A novel channel access algorithm based on clusters and MAB model in cognitive vehicular network by Fei PENG, Guoan ZHANG, Yuqi YANG

“…Considering the cognitive channel access problem of vehicle nodes in cognitive vehicular networks with heavy traffic environment,a channel access algorithm called clusters-UCB which based on clusters and MAB model was proposed.The cooperation of cluster members could improve perception accuracy and enhance the learning speed.And using improved multi-user UCB algorithm,cluster heads could quickly search out the optimal channel in a distributed way,which could make the network asymptotically achieve the optimal slot throughput.Simulation results show that with respect to UCB algorithm and ε-greedy algorithm,the regret of the proposed algorithm is lower and the speed of approaching logarithmic form is faster.What's more,clusters-UCB can effectively reduce the number of collisions when clusters access the cognitive channels,ensuring the fairness of the channel access and achieving better slot throughput.…”
