Research and implementation of reputation-based inter-domain routing selection mechanism by Shiqi ZHAO, Xiaohong HUANG, Zhigang ZHONG

“…To solve the problem of lack of validation for exchanging messages in BGP, a inter-domain routing mechanism, which consisted of a reputation evaluation mechanism and a reputation-based BGP optimal routing algorithm, was proposed.The reputation evaluation mechanism used a distributed autonomous system (AS) alliance architecture, which divided node routing behavior in detail.The service domain and observation weight were used as indicators to quantify the impact of node behavior.By designing a feedback mechanism, the reputation value not only reflected the good and bad of nodes, but also reflected the node’s resistance to malicious attacks.The reputation-based BGP routing selection algorithm adds a “security” policy to the existing routing selection algorithm by filtering routes containing low-reputation nodes and selecting the best route among high reputation routes.The experimental results show that the proposed mechanism outperform most existing reputation mechanisms by avoiding routes with vulnerable nodes and restraining the propagation of illegal routes, thereby providing a more secure inter-domain routing environment.…”

An analytical cross-sectional study on optimal (timely or cumulative age-appropriate) routine childhood immunization coverage in the communities of Ebonyi state, Nigeria by Ugwu I. Omale, Cordis O. Ikegwuonu, Glory E. Nkwo, Chimaobi C. Iwegbulam, Louisa C. Ekwuazi, Chidinma I. Amuzie, Richard L. Ewah

“…Abstract Optimal (timely or cumulative age-appropriate) routine childhood immunization coverage (the receipt of every recommended vaccine dose at the recommended age and time-interval between doses) will enhance optimal protection against vaccine-preventable infectious diseases (VPDs) which have been causing significant morbidity and mortality and recurring outbreaks among children younger than five years. …”

Involvement of different protein kinases and phospholipases A2 in phorbol ester (TPA)-induced arachidonic acid liberation in bovine platelets by M. Lehr, K. Griessbach

“…However, group VI Ca2+-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) seems to contribute to the arachidonic acid liberation too, since the relatively specific iPLA2 inhibitor bromoenol lactone (BEL) decreased arachidonic acid generation in part. …”

The Hautus-Type Inequality for Abstract Fractional Cauchy Problems and Its Observability by Li Chen-Yu

“…In this paper, we investigate the observability of the fractional resolvent family, and we prove two main results: the first result shows a generalization of the Hautus-type test for observable exponentially stable semigroups to the fractional resolvent family and the second result shows the equivalence of the observability and the below boundedness of the linear operator on the wave packet when the generator conforms to a specific form.…”

Sistemas de impeachment no Brasil em nível nacional e subnacional by Luís Fernando Sgarbossa, Geziela Iensue

“…Examinando questões como a assimetria entre o legislativo federal bicameral e os legislativos subnacionais unicamerais, o artigo evidencia que a despeito do modelo cameral de impeachment ser adotado pela Constituição de 1988, o Direito Constitucional Estadual acaba por encampar o modelo de tribunal especial, bem como as peculiares razões de tal situação, notadamente a aplicação da Lei n. 1.079/50 como lei nacional pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal e consequente imposição do modelo por ela estabelecido como modelo subsidiário como paradigma de observância obrigatória pelos constituintes estaduais.…”

RFID security authentication scheme based on Montgomery-form elliptic curve cryptography by Wumei ZHANG

“…For the issues that the existing RFID security authentication scheme based on elliptic curve cryptography （ECC）can not meet the requirements of mutual authentication,privacy protection and forward security,a RFID security authentication scheme based on Montgomery-form elliptic curve cryptography was proposed.This scheme uses the Montgomery elliptic curve to reduce the amount of computation,and to provide mutual authentication between the label and the server,and anonymity and forward security.The analysis showed that the scheme could resist replay attack,tag camouflage attack,server cheat attack,DoS attack,position tracking attack and clone attack.Compared with the existing schemes,the proposed scheme provides high security performance under low memory,computation and communication requirements,and it can meet the security requirements of the RFID system.…”

Nonlinear Normal Modes in a Two-Stage Isolator Using a Modified Finite-Element Galerkin Method by Cheng Li, Hongguang Li

“…A modified Galerkin method is proposed to approximate the nonlinear normal modes in a new type of a two-stage isolator. Besides the displacement of payload and the force transmissibility of this typical nonlinear dynamic system, the nonlinear normal modes defined as invariant manifolds can provide more information about the nonlinear coupling between the system components when periodic motions corresponding to the normal modes of the system occur. …”

“…Established an impact-unbalanced suspended rotor system mechanics models, and the dimensionless motion equation of system is deduced, using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method for the numerical calculation of this model, the integrated use of bifurcation diagram, orbit diagram, Poincare section diagram, the axis displacement time history diagram, maximum moment diagram and duty ratio diagram study the dynamic behavior of the system, identify the impact of the rotor, the maximum torque and impact by the proportion of time, and analyzed the speed ratio and the change of the stiffness coefficient of the influence of the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system.The analysis results show that the system presents chaotic motion in a certain parameter domain at the medium velocity stage, while the system tends to stable periodic motion in other parameter domains.With the increase of the stiffness coefficient, the chaotic motion region and the maximum moment of the system increase, and the stability of the system decreases.…”
