Collaborative defending scheme against malicious Web pages based on social trust by Xin LIU, Chun-fu JIA, Guo-you LIU, Zhi-chao HU, Dong WANG

“…To deal with the threat of malicious Web pages,a distributed defending scheme against malicious Web pages based on social trust was proposed.Besides the malicious URL list from third-party professional organizations,the direct and indirect trust relations between friends in social network were used to obtain evaluations of Web pages.The experiences about Web surfing from a user’s friends were collected to result in synthetical evaluations on his computer.Each user cooperated with his friends,so that a defending system was formed on the overall perspective,which can improve the defending ability of the social network against malicious Web pages.The experiment results indicate that the visits of malicious Web pages under the scheme decrease obviously than the methods without social trust.…”

Investigation on the Compressibility Factor of Hydrogen-Doped Natural Gas Using GERG-2008 Equation of State by Ji-Chao Li, Yong Fan, Dan Pang, Tong Wu, Ying Zhang, Ke Zhou

“…The results indicate that the hydrogen blending ratio, temperature, and pressure significantly affect the compressibility factor, particularly under low-temperature and high-pressure conditions, where an increase in the hydrogen blending ratio leads to a notable rise in the compressibility factor. These findings have substantial implications for the practical design of hydrogen-enriched natural gas pipelines, as changes in the compressibility factor directly impact pipeline operational parameters, compressor characteristics, and other system performance aspects. …”
