Movement Characteristics of Typhoon Rainstorm-Triggered Debris Flow in Qinglong Gully Based on Massflow Model by XIONG Chaozheng, JI Feng, SHI Yuchuan

“…Typhoon Lekima made landfall on August 10,2019,causing a massive typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow in Qinglong Gully located in the middle and low mountainous area of southern Anhui.To deeply explore the movement characteristics of the typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow,this study identifies the characteristics,formation conditions,and source distribution of Qinglong Gully.On this basis,it builds a high-precision three-dimensional model of the study area to calculate two working conditions of the non-typhoon rainstorm and typhoon rainstorm.In addition,Massflow,the software for surface-process dynamic numerical analysis,is employed for numerical simulation and comparative analysis of debris-flow movement characteristics.The results show that the typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow has a faster forward speed compared with the non-typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow.It moves to the monitoring points j1—j5 at 600 s,100 s,1500 s,1 600 s,and 1 900 s,respectively,and the front can cause damage to the channels and buildings along the way in a short time.Three main accumulation areas are formed in the outbreak of the debris flow.The maximum accumulation thickness of the typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow is 3.08 m,3.80 m,and 7.75 m,and the accumulation area is 36 324.4 m²,3 700.4 m²,and 32 279.5 m²,respectively.The debris flow has the characteristics of a large height and plane range of influence,which is more likely to cause serious life and property damage to engineering buildings and residents.…”

Electronic invoice public verification scheme based on SM2 coalition signature algorithm by Yurong LUO, Jin CAO, Hui LI, Xingwen ZHAO, Chao SHANG

“…In order to solve the current problems of electronic invoices, such as anti-counterfeiting, privacy leakage and low verification efficiency, an electronic invoice public verification architecture based on the national signature algorithm was proposed.Electronic invoice documents have complex data sources, sensitive user information on the ticket surface, frequent data flow and other characteristics as well as the demand for efficient public verification.Based on these motivations, the e-invoice generation and verification protocol was designed.Besides, a signature code generation scheme for invoice anti-counterfeiting was proposed based on certificate-free joint signature.Then multiple data verification and signatures of the invoicing party and the taxation authority can be realized.All kinds of invoice holders can not only verify the authenticity and data integrity of electronic invoices, but also publicly check the authenticity and data integrity of electronic invoices.The integration of data encryption algorithms protects user privacy data in electronic invoices, and at the same time can fulfill the requirements for authenticity or status verification under various invoice application scenarios.The checking party only needs to verify one signature to confirm the authenticity of the electronic invoice signed by both parties.Scyther security simulation tools were used to analyze the security of the proposed solution, which can verify the integrity and authenticity of the data source and check the confidentiality of the privacy data under various types of attacks.Compared with a typical overseas e-invoice checking scheme and a similar digital signature-based e-invoice checking scheme, the proposed scheme has obvious advantages in terms of checking efficiency and invoice file size.…”

Settlement Behavior of Soft Subgrade Reinforced by Geogrid-Encased Stone Column and Geocell-Embedded Sand Cushion: A Numerical Analysis by Jia-Jun Gao, Hui Xu, Jian-Wen Qian, Yi-Fan Gong, Liang-Tong Zhan, Ping Chen

“…The results showed that the embedment of geocell reduced construction settlement, postconstruction settlement, and differential settlement is attributed to the increase in stiffness of sand cushion and therefore the uniform distribution of additional stress on subgrade surface. When the encasement length of stone column increased from 1D (one time the column diameter) to 8D (full encasement), the settlement in construction stage and postconstruction stage decreased by 32.2% and 35.1%, respectively, which is benefited from the increase in the compression modulus of the column. …”
