A blockchain architecture with master-slave blockchain by Pengliu TAN, Lixuran WAN

“…With the continuous development of blockchain technology, different chains are derived due to different adaptation scenarios.Each chain has its own characteristics, such as public chains like bitcoin and ethereum, a large number of private chains and alliance chains.But as far as the current Internet is concerned, the implementation of many application scenarios on traditional blockchains has become particularly inconvenient.A master-slave blockchain (MSBC) architecture was proposed, which was mainly composed of a master block, a subordinate master block and a subordinate micro block.The master chain was composed of master blocks.Each master block has a slave master block and multiple slave micro block on its side chain.In addition, the master block and the master block were directly connected by the Hash of the previous block, the master block and the slave master block were connected by the Hash of the unique information, and the slave micro block and the previous block (whatever the slave master block or the slave micro block) was also connected by the Hash of the previous block.In talent chain, this kind of structure could put a person’s fixed resume information on the master chain, but updated resume information constantly on the slave side chain.MSBC architecture was more scalable, and it could improve the efficiency of data query.The experimental results show that the framework in the similar applications such as talent chain is feasible and the query efficiency has been improved greatly.…”

Is Valproate Depressogenic in Patients Remitting from Acute Mania? Case Series by Kamini Vasudev, Priya Sharma

“…So consideration should be given to reducing the dose of valproate if a patient develops depressive symptoms following recovery from the manic episode, as a therapeutic strategy. The cases also indicate that relatively lower doses and serum levels of valproate are effective in the maintenance phase compared to those needed in the acute manic phase of bipolar disorder. …”

Caching strategy based on node’s importance to community in information-centric networks by Jun CAI, Shun-zheng YU, Wai-xi LIU

“…In-network caching is one of the most important features of ICN (information-centric networks).A caching strategy based on node’s importance to community was proposed to make content objects cached more reasonable in temporal and spatial distribution.Within each community,the strategy not only caches content objects in those nodes where users are easy to access the content,but also makes different popularity of content objects more reasonable in temporal distribution.The CSNIC strategy was implemented under a variety of experimental conditions,and compare it with the previous strategies CEE-LRU,Betw-LFU and Opportunistic.The simulation results show that the strategy can yield a significant performance improvement,such as,cache hit ratio,hop reduction ratio,content diversity ratio and number of replacement.Furthermore,the additional overhead of CSNIC is small.…”
