Space-time spectrum sharing based on game theory:dynamic access and penalty strategy by Yangyang NIU, Zhiqing WEI, Zhiyong FENG

“…To tackle the challenge of inefficient utilization of spatiotemporal spectrum resources in heterogeneous networks, a reliable spectrum sharing strategy based on game theory was proposed for scenarios where multiple secondary users dynamically access through sensing spatiotemporal spectrum opportunities.Firstly, secondary users sensed the activity state of primary users through channel sampling and subsequently seek suitable spatiotemporal spectrum opportunities.Each secondary user aimed to access more spectrum resources while preventing quality degradation between primary users.Consequently, a negotiation of individual utilities between secondary and primary users was needed, in order to reach a mixed Nash equilibrium.When the secondary user's transmission power was abnormal, its behavior would be regarded as a violation.Then, a backoff time compensation algorithm was presented to penalize the secondary users, according to the number of violations and active nodes in the network.Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the spatiotemporal spectrum opportunities sharing strategy with the penalty mechanism.…”

Key Role of Human ABC Transporter ABCG2 in Photodynamic Therapy and Photodynamic Diagnosis by Toshihisa Ishikawa, Hiroshi Nakagawa, Yuichiro Hagiya, Naosuke Nonoguchi, Shin-ichi Miyatake, Toshihiko Kuroiwa

“…Since patients have demonstrated individual differences in their response to photodynamic therapy, transcriptional activation and/or genetic polymorphisms of the ABCG2 gene in cancer cells may affect patients' responses to photodynamic therapy. Protein kinase inhibitors, including imatinib mesylate and gefitinib, are suggested to potentially enhance the efficacy of photodynamic therapy by blocking ABCG2-mediated porphyrin efflux from cancer cells. …”

Steganographer identification of JPEG image based on feature selection and graph convolutional representation by Qianqian ZHANG, Yi ZHANG, Hao LI, Yuanyuan MA, Xiangyang LUO

“…Aiming at the problem that the feature dimension of JPEG image steganalysis is too high, which leads to the complexity of distance calculation between users and a decrease in the identification performance of the steganographer, a method for steganographer recognition based on feature selection and graph convolutional representation was proposed.Firstly, the steganalysis features of the user’s images were extracted, and the feature subset with highseparability was selected.Then, the users were represented as a graph, and the features of users were obtained by training the graph convolutional neural network.Finally, because inter-class separability and intra-class aggregation were considered, the features of users that could capture the differences between users were learned.For steganographers who use JPEG steganography, such as nsF5, UED, J-UNIWARD, and so on, to embed secret information in images, the proposed method can reduce the feature dimensions and computing.The identification accuracy of various payloads can reach more than 80.4%, and it has an obvious advantage at the low payload.…”

The Best Constitution for the Flourishing Lives: Aristotle’s Political Theory and Its Implications for Emancipatory Purposes by Andrius Bielskis

“…Aiming at the problem that in the field of fraud detection, imbalance labels and lack of necessary connections between fraud nodes, resulting in fraud detection tasks not conforming to the hypothesis of homogeneity of graph neural networks, multi-view graph neural network for fraud detection (MGFD) algorithm was proposed.First, A structure-independent encoder was used to encode the attributes of nodes in the network to learn the difference between the fraud node and the normal node.The hierarchical attention mechanism was designed to integrate the multi-view information in the network, and made full use of the interaction information between different perspectives in the network to model the nodes on the basis of learning differences.Then, based on the data imbalance ratio sampled subgraph, the sample was constructed according to the connection characteristics of fraud nodes for classification, which solved the problem of imbalance sample labels.Finally, the prediction label was used to identify whether a node is fraudulent.Experiments on real-world datasets have shown that the MGFD algorithm outperforms the comparison method in the field of graph-based fraud detection.…”
