Neuroplasticity and Neuroprotective Effect of Treadmill Training in the Chronic Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease by Ewelina Palasz, Wiktor Niewiadomski, Anna Gasiorowska, Anna Mietelska-Porowska, Grazyna Niewiadomska

“…From these results one may conclude that early and late-onset training schedules were equipotent in their neuroprotective effect and that the mechanism of neuroprotection was similar. The sparing effect of early onset training may be satisfactorily explained by assuming that the increased level of BDNF and GDNF prevented the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. …”

Research review of network defense decision-making methods based on attack and defense game by Xiaohu LIU, Hengwei ZHANG, Junqiang MA, Yuchen ZHANG, Jinglei TAN

“…Game theory studies the optimal decision-making problem under the condition of conflict confrontation.It is one of the basic theories of cyberspace security, and can provide a theoretical basis for solving the problem of network defense decision-making.The six game characteristics of network attack and defense were defined, such as goal opposition, strategy dependence, non-cooperative relationship, incomplete information, dynamic evolution and interest drive.Based on the hypothesis of rational player and limited resources, a 5-tuple network attack and defense game model was formally defined by using player, attack and defense strategy set, attack and defense action set, attack and defense information set and attack and defense income.The existing conditions of game equilibrium were analyzed, and the general process of network defense decision-making based on attack and defense game model was summarized.The applicable scenarios of network defense decision-making methods based on eight different types of game models were analyzed, such as complete information static game, complete information dynamic game, incomplete information static game, incomplete information dynamic game, evolutionary game, differential game, time game and random game, and summarizes their research ideas.The advantages and disadvantages of network defense decision-making methods based on different types of game models were given.The development process of network defense decision-making method based on attack defense game was summarized, and the advantages and characteristics of defense decision-making method was explained.It were pointed out that there were three problems in the research process, such as the relationship between the number of factors considered in game modeling and the complexity of the model, the dependence of game reasoning on information and data, and the generalization and migration of game model.It also looked forward to the next research direction from the description mechanism of normative strategy, the calculation method of optimizing revenue and the integration with other network security technologies.And the problems that should be solved were explained.…”

Qualitative modeling and analysis of attack surface for process multi-variant execution software system by Fukang XING, Zheng ZHANG, Ran SUI, Sheng QU, Xinsheng JI

“…Attack surface is an important index to measure security of software system.The general attack surface model is based on the I/O automata model to model the software system, which generally uses a non-redundant architecture and it is difficult to apply to heterogeneous redundant system architectures such as multi variant systems.Manadhatad et al.proposed a method to measure the attack surface in a dissimilar redundancy system.However, the voting granularity and voting method of the system architecture adopted by Manadhatad are different from those of the multi-variant system, which cannot accurately measure the attack surface of the multi variant system.Therefore, based on the traditional attack surface model, combined with the characteristics of heterogeneous redundant architecture of multi variant systems, the traditional attack surface model was extended and the attack surface model of multivariant systems was constructed.The attack surface of the multi variant system was represented in a formal way, and the traditional attack surface model was improved according to the voting mechanism of the multi variant system at the exit point of the system, so that it can explain the phenomenon that the attack surface of the multi variant system shrinks.Through this modeling method, the change of the attack surface of the multi variant system adopting the multi variant architecture can be explained in the running process.Then, two groups of software systems with multi variant execution architecture were used as analyzing examples.The attack surface of the software systems with the same functions as those without multi variant architecture were compared and analyzed in two situations of being attacked and not being attacked, reflecting the changes of the multi variant system in the attack surface.Combining the attack surface theory and the characteristics of the multi variant execution system, an attack surface modeling method for the multi variant execution system was proposed.At present, the changes of the attack surface of the multi variant execution system can be qualitatively analyzed.In-depth research in the quantitative analysis of the attack surface of the multi variant execution system will be continually conducted.…”
