A Normative Modeling Method for Complex Gear Coupled Rotor-bearing System Dynamics by Xia Boqian, Jiang Xi, Zhang Zebin

“…Therefore, the dynamic modeling and model reduction of the gear rotor bearing coupling system have always been a common concern. Based on the basic principle of gear meshing, this study establishes the geometric coupling model (or called kinematic coupling model) of the spur gear pair, helical gear pair, spur bevel gear pair and spiral bevel gear pair; and by using the transformation matrix of the coupling model, a unified, convenient and normative modeling method for the dynamic study of arbitrary complex gear-rotor-bearing coupled system including the above four kinds of gear pairs is given, which provides convenience for the dynamic study of complex gear shafting.…”

A survey on DNS attack detection and security protection by Jianwu ZHANG, Yanjun AN, Huangyan DENG

“…With the gradual evolution of the traditional Internet to “Internet+”, the domain name system (DNS) had been continuously expanding from basic address resolution to new models such as comprehensive perception and reliable transmission.Due to the diverse functions and the extensive coverage of DNS in the new scenario, it will cause serious consequences once attacked.Therefore, the research on DNS attack detection and security protection continues and attracts more and more attention.Firstly, several common DNS attacks were introduced, including DNS spoofing, DNS covert channel, DNS distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, DNS reflection amplification attacks, and malicious DGA domain names.Subsequently, these DNS attack detection technologies were systematically analyzed and summarized from the machine learning perspective.Then, the DNS security protection technologies were sorted out in decentralization, authenticated encryption and limited resolution.Finally, some future research directions were proposed.…”

“…Pilocytic astrocytoma is a low-grade glial neoplasm of the central nervous system (CNS) that tends to occur in the pediatric population and less commonly presents in adults. Hereditary pilocytic astrocytoma is often associated with germline genetic alterations in the tumor suppressor NF1, the gene responsible for the syndrome neurofibromatosis type 1. …”

Unicystic ameloblastoma with rare acanthomatous changes in mural Island by Priyadharsini Nataraj, Rajkumar Krishnan, Krishnakumar Raja, Rameshkumar Annasamy, Ashwini Ravi, Dineshkumar Thayalan

“…Unicystic ameloblastomas (UAs) are cystic lesions that have the clinical, radiological, or physical characteristics of jaw cysts, but when examined histologically, display a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining the cyst cavities, with or without luminal and/or mural tumour development. UAs are a less common and supposedly less aggressive type of ameloblastomas. …”

Detection of image copy-move forgery using local intensity order pattern by Jing LIN, Tian-qiang HUANG, Ling-peng LIN, Xiao-chen1 LI

“…Copy-move forgery was one of the most simple and common way of image manipulations.To improve the ro-bustness of most existing copy-move forgery detections,a new method based on local intensity order pattern was pro-posed.First,the LIOP feature descriptors were exacted from the inspected image.Then the angular cosine of feature de-scriptors were used to measure the similarity,and the stable matching points were found according to the distance ratio threshold of the nearest neighbor point to the second nearest neighbor.Finally,the space distance of the matching points were calculated to remove the false matching points.Extensive experimental results were presented to confirm that the proposed method is not only able to effectively identify and locate the altered area,but also have high accuracy and ro-bust to scaling,rotation,brightness change and some post-processing,such as Gaussian blur,additive white Gaussian noise and JPEG compression.…”

Communication and ‘revolt’ by Bert Olivier

“…The psychoanalytical theorist and philosopher, Julia Kristeva, has however developed a notion of ‘revolt’ (and, related to it, of ‘revolution’) that goes far beyond the common understanding of the term. Moreover, in her understanding of the concept, ‘revolt’ may indeed be a ‘communicational’ prerequisite for contemporary ‘globalised’ society to break out of an invidious (and potentially violent) standoff between a dominant world culture, subject to the logic of the market, on the one hand, and a fundamentalist ideological reaction to it, on the other. …”
