“…The good agreement between data and model, also corroborated by a comparison with other spectral shapes commonly used in these studies, suggests that particles could have possibly been accelerated out from the ambient corona through the contribution of stochastic acceleration at the CME‐driven shock, even if the presence of seed populations influencing spectral shape could not be excluded. Finally, a Solar Proton Release time of 16:01 UTC ± 13 min and a magnetic path‐length of L = 1.32 ± 0.24 AU have been obtained, in agreement with previous results for this event. …”

Peace negotiations between Russia and Latvia in 1920: Premises, key issues, and outcomes by Yu. L. Mikhailova

“…The author concludes that the Soviet-Latvian treaty and similar treaties with other Baltic states not only enabled the establishment of a new balance of power in the East Baltic region for the interwar period and laid the foundation for the Soviet foreign policy towards the Baltic republics, but also served as a vivid example of realization of ‘the right of self-determination of peoples up to secession’. Finally, these treaties became one of the means to break the diplomatic isolation of Soviet Russia.…”

Method on intrusion detection for industrial internet based on light gradient boosting machine by Xiangdong HU, Lingling TANG

“…Intrusion detection is a critical security protection technology in the industrial internet, and it plays a vital role in ensuring the security of the system.In order to meet the requirements of high accuracy and high real-time intrusion detection in industrial internet, an industrial internet intrusion detection method based on light gradient boosting machine optimization was proposed.To address the problem of low detection accuracy caused by difficult-to-classify samples in industrial internet business data, the original loss function of the light gradient boosting machine as a focal loss function was improved.This function can dynamically adjust the loss value and weight of different types of data samples during the training process, reducing the weight of easy-to-classify samples to improve detection accuracy for difficult-to-classify samples.Then a fruit fly optimization algorithm was used to select the optimal parameter combination of the model for the problem that the light gradient boosting machine has many parameters and has great influence on the detection accuracy, detection time and fitting degree of the model.Finally, the optimal parameter combination of the model was obtained and verified on the gas pipeline dataset provided by Mississippi State University, then the effectiveness of the proposed mode was further verified on the water dataset.The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves higher detection accuracy and lower detection time than the comparison model.The detection accuracy of the proposed method on the gas pipeline dataset is at least 3.14% higher than that of the comparison model.The detection time is 0.35s and 19.53s lower than that of the random forest and support vector machine in the comparison model, and 0.06s and 0.02s higher than that of the decision tree and extreme gradient boosting machine, respectively.The proposed method also achieved good detection results on the water dataset.Therefore, the proposed method can effectively identify attack data samples in industrial internet business data and improve the practicality and efficiency of intrusion detection in the industrial internet.…”
