Research on Mechanical Behavior of Geogrid–Soil Interface Under Rainfall Infiltration by Yongliang Lin, Yingying Wang

“…With the objective of disaster prevention and the control of geotechnical structures under rainfall environments, an experimental method was adopted to study the mechanical behavior of the geogrid–soil interface. A series of monotonic direct shear tests under different working conditions were carried out to analyze the effects of normal stresses, shear rates and infiltration time on the shear characteristics of the geogrid–soil interface, and to investigate the interaction mechanism of the geogrid–soil interface under rainfall infiltration by means of an independently adapted experimental apparatus to simulate the actual rainfall infiltration situation. …”

Research on flood defense mechanism of SDN control layer:detection and mitigation by Qizhao ZHOU, Junqing YU, Dong LI

“…Aiming at the problem of spoofing flood defense in the control layer of SDN, a controller defense mechanism (CDM)was proposed, including a flood detection mechanism based on key features multi-classification and a flood mitigation mechanism based on SAVI.The flood feature analysis module of the control layer was designed for flood detection, and boosting algorithm was used to overlay each feature weak classifier to form an enhanced classifier, which can achieve more accurate classification spoofing flooding attack effect by continuously reducing the residual in the calculation.In CDM, a flood mitigation mechanism based on SAVI was deployed to realize flood mitigation, which performed flood packet path filtering based on binding-verification mode, and updated the flood features of access layer switches with dynamic polling mode to reduce redundant model update load.The experimental results show that the proposed method has the characteristics of low overhead and high precision.CDM effectively increases the security of the control layer, and reduces the time of host classification of spoofing flood attack and the CPU consumption of corresponding controller.…”
