Replacing Detonation by Compressed Balloon Approaches in Finite Element Models by Pierre Legrand, S. Kerampran, M. Arrigoni

“…Among them, the replacement of the explosive event by a compressed balloon of detonation products has been proven useful in numerous different situations. Unfortunately, the ALE algorithm does not achieve a proper energy balance through the numerical integration of the discrete scheme; this important drawback is not compensated by the use of the classical compressed balloon approach. …”

PoSW:novel secure deduplication scheme for collaborative cloud applications by Jin-bo XIONG, Su-ping LI, Yuan-yuan ZHANG, Xuan LI, EA-yong Y, Zhi-qiang YAO

“…In order to solve the problems of secure access and deduplication to the shared file in the cloud environment,a novel notion called proof of shared ownership (PoSW) was formalized,and a formal definition of the PoSW was given.Furthermore,a PoSW scheme and an enhanced version of that were proposed.In the PoSW scheme,secure shared file dispersal,convergent encryption and secret sharing algorithm were employed to transform the shared file realize the sharing and authorization for the shared file,and then a novel challenge-response protocol was proposed to achieve the proof of shared ownership and the foundation for the secure deduplication of the shared file was provided.An enhanced PoSW scheme was designed to improve the availability and reliability for different kinds of the shared files by introducing the multi-cloud server providers and using the strategies of both data duplication and secret file dispersal.Security analysis and performance evaluation show the security and efficiency of the proposed scheme.…”

Motion Patterns Learning in Crowded Scenes by KANG Yong-xin, YUAN Li-ying

“…We detail the generative process and Gibbs sampling process of DDCRF, and then the results of experiments are shown. An extensive evaluation is performed on the dataset including 47,866 tracklets collected from the crowded New York Grand Central station, indicating that our algorithm has the following advantages: deducing the number of latent motion patterns automatically, learning motion patterns precisely from these tracklets, and sharing constituent parts and sub patterns among different motion patterns.…”

TraIL: Pinpoint Trajectory for Indoor Localization by Shengnan Li, Zheng Qin, Chenshu Wu, Zheng Yang

“…Taking both sides into account simultaneously, we design techniques to refine the raw WiFi positions in the process of laying the precise local trajectory appropriately down to the absolute coordinate using a novel least median of squares (LMS) fit algorithm. We develop a prototype system, named TraIL, and conduct comprehensive experiments in a building along different shaped routes. …”

NUMERICAL METHOD FOR ESTIMATION OF TENSILE LOAD IN TIE-RODS by Kseniia Riabova, Luca Collini, Rinaldo Garziera

“…Qualitative analysis of the results showed a significant reduction of the error compared to models with different boundary conditions. The method showed to be conservative for the strength evaluation of the rods, because the optimal values of tensile loads appeared to be higher than the load in perfect encastre conditions.…”

An Improved Soil Moisture Downscaling Method Based on Soil Properties and Geographical Divisions over the Loess Plateau by Lei Han, Zheyuan Miao, Zhao Liu, Hongliang Kang, Han Zhang, Shaoan Gan, Yuxuan Ren, Guiming Hu

“…This study found the following: (1) The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was the most important environmental factor in all divisions except the Flood Plain, and the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was second only to the NDVI in the overall importance evaluation, both of which positively influenced SM. (2) SM variability increased and then decreased when SM was below 0.4 cm³/cm³, but showed a quadratic growth trend when exceeding this threshold. …”
