Blockchain-driven distributed consensus mechanism in defensing Byzantine attack for the Internet of spectrum device by Jian YANG, Xi CHEN, Guoru DING, Hangsheng ZHAO, Linyuan ZHANG, Jiachen SUN

“…To meet the requirement of the precisely spectrum sharing triggered by large-scale and ultra-dense deployment of mobile internet and internet of things,a framework based on blockchain technology for networking the massive personal wireless devices to form the Internet of spectrum device (IoSD) was proposed.The architecture of cloud with edge computing was proposed as the architecture of IoSD,which consists of spectrum management server,mobile base station,and personal wireless devices.The mechanism of spectrum data acquisition,spectrum block appending,spectrum data transmission,and spectrum sensing incentive,consist of basic operational mechanism of IoSD.The distributed consensus mechanism,including fusion consensus among sensing-nodes,verification consensusamong checking-nodes,and confirmation consensus among head-nodes,was applied to determine whether the spectrum data was falsified by the Byzantine attack of malicious sensing-nodesunder the hypothesis test of certain confidence.The simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of proposed distributed consensus mechanism in preventing spectrum sensing data falsification by the malicious nodes.…”

Past Cigarette Smoking Is More Common among Those with Cholinergic Than Noncholinergic Dementias by Kyle Dalrymple, Erin K. Saito, Natalie Diaz, Julia Morrow, Beau Nakamoto, Aaron M. McMurtray

“…Patients with progressive dementing disorders associated with cortical cholinergic dysfunction gradually develop cholinergic deficits many years before symptom onset and may begin to smoke cigarettes during midlife as a form of self-medication. The aim of this study was to compare self-reported past smoking rates between those with and without cholinergic dementias, to determine if those who developed cholinergic dementias were more likely to smoke during midlife than those who did not. …”
