Multi-stage detection method for APT attack based on sample feature reinforcement by Lixia XIE, Xueou LI, Hongyu YANG, Liang ZHANG, Xiang CHENG

“…Given the problems that the current APT attack detection methods were difficult to perceive the diversity of stage flow features and generally hard to detect the long duration APT attack sequences and potential APT attacks with different attack stages, a multi-stage detection method for APT attack based on sample feature reinforcement was proposed.Firstly, the malicious flow was divided into different attack stages and the APT attack identification sequences were constructed by analyzing the characteristics of the APT attack.In addition, sequence generative adversarial network was used to simulate the generation of identification sequences in the multi-stage of APT attacks.Sample feature reinforcement was achieved by increasing the number of sequence samples in different stages, which improved the diversity of multi-stage sample features.Finally, a multi-stage detection network was proposed.Based on the multi-stage perceptual attention mechanism, the extracted multi-stage flow features and identification sequences were calculated by attention to obtain the stage feature vectors.The feature vectors were used as auxiliary information to splice with the identification sequences.The detection model’s perception ability in different stages was enhanced and the detection accuracy was improved.The experimental results show that the proposed method has remarkable detection effects on two benchmark datasets and has better effects on multi-class potential APT attacks than other models.…”

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Reference Crop Evapotranspiration in Inner Mongolia from 1959 to 2018 by WANG Bin, QIAO Shuaishuai, LIU Jifa

“…To comprehensively understand the impact of climate change on reference crop evapotranspiration (ET₀) in Inner Mongolia,the daily ET₀ of 50 meteorological stations in Inner Mongolia in the past 60 years was calculated using the FAO Penman-Monteith formula,and further investigated spatiotemporal characteristics,interdecadal and cyclical changes of ET₀ in Inner Mongolia.The results showed that the distribution trend of ET₀ gradually decreased from west to east in Inner Mongolia,the multi-year average was 1 018 mm,while the climate tilt rate was 4.2 mm/10a,showing a significant upward trend.The sum of ET₀ in spring,summer and autumn,the growing periods of crops,accounted for about 95% of the total annual value,while the spatial distribution was similar to the annual value.The annual average ET₀ in various climate zones followed a descending order:ultra-arid climate zone,arid climate zone,semi-arid climate zone,dry and semi-humid climate zone,humid and semi-humid climate zone.The variation coefficients of the climate zones were low,showing weak variability,and abrupt changes occurred in different climate zones at the end of the 1990s.The ET₀ change cycles were mainly 59a,14a and 24a.…”

Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of the Cutting Process of a Nonextensible Composite Boring Bar by Bole Ma, Yongsheng Ren

“…Meanwhile, the effects of parameters such as the geometry of the cutting bar (including length and diameter), damping, the cutting coefficient, the cutting depth, the number of the cutting teeth, the amplitude of the cutting force, and the ply angle on nonlinear lobes and primary resonance curves during the cutting process are investigated using numerical calculations. The results demonstrate that the critical cutting depth is inversely proportional to the aspect ratio of the cutting bar and the cutting force coefficient. …”
