A Novel, Open Access Method to Assess Sleep Duration Using a Wrist-Worn Accelerometer. by Vincent T van Hees, Séverine Sabia, Kirstie N Anderson, Sarah J Denton, James Oliver, Michael Catt, Jessica G Abell, Mika Kivimäki, Michael I Trenell, Archana Singh-Manoux

“…This estimate was lower for time in bed for women, depressed participants, those reporting more insomnia symptoms, and on weekend days. No such group differences were found for total sleep duration. Our algorithm was validated against data from a polysomnography study on 28 persons which found a longer time window and lower angle threshold to have better sensitivity to wakefulness, while the reverse was true for sensitivity to sleep. …”

Double reputation and multi-angle weight-based cooperative spectrum sensing method against SSDF attacks by Zhiguo SUN, Zhao WANG, Zengmao CHEN, Rongchen SUN

“…In order to improve the ability of cooperative spectrum sensing to withstand spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF) attacks, a double reputation and multi-angle weight-based cooperative spectrum sensing (DRMW-CSS) method was proposed.Firstly, a scoring reputation was obtained by multiple iterations of historical local decision results, and an accuracy reputation was calculated on this basis.Secondly, secondary users (SU) were screened by double reputation and multiple reputation thresholds.Then, the impact of SSDF attacks on the screening method was judged and divided into three situations.Finally, the final global decision was made using the corresponding multi-angle weight data fusion decision method according to different situations.Simulation results show that the proposed method has good sensing accuracy when facing SSDF attacks with different attack strategies and probabilities, and has better anti-attack capability compared to traditional methods.…”

Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of Turbocharger Rotor Supported on Rolling Bearing by Modified Incremental Harmonic Balance Method by Tangwei Li, Hulun Guo, Zhenyu Cheng, Rixiu Men, Jun Li, Yushu Chen

“…The vibration responses of the nonlinear system are obtained by the modified incremental harmonic balance (MIHB) method. The results demonstrate that the MIHB method significantly improves computational efficiency compared to the traditional fourth-order Runge–Kutta method for solving this class of problems while also being capable of obtaining complete solution branches of the system. …”
