Implementación de alternativa de secado en el proceso de fabricación de aire medicinal comprimido en Norte de Santander by Cristian David Cardona Mora, Álvaro Eulalio Villamizar Villamizar

“…The project was carried out in three phases: the first was the study of technical alternatives in the drying process for the manufacture of compressed medical air; the second involved the implementation of the best alternative, along with the validation of the addition of the drying system through the application of process qualification and validation protocols , along with their revalidation; and the last phase corresponded to the evaluation of the project using indicators. Greater performance in these filters avoided constant depressurization of the production line, repetitive filter changes, and abundant filter waste, generating an impact on the production of compressed medical air. …”

Optimizing SVC placement for enhanced voltage stability using a novel index and hybrid ABC-PSO algorithm by Hafizur Rahman, Roman Mia, Mustafizur Rahman, Md. Faiyaj Ahmed Limon, Md. Shahid Iqbal, Md. Fahad Jubayer, Md. Rabiul Karim, Md. Janibul Alam Soeb

“…It integrates FVSI with a Novel Collapse Prediction Index (NCPI) with the help of a switching function. Unlike conventional indices such as the Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) and Line Stability Index (Lmn), which rely predominantly on reactive power-based predictions, MCPI relies on both active and reactive power, providing an improved indication of system stability and is utilized as the objective function for the optimal placement of SVCs. …”

Lightweight terminal cross-domain authentication protocol in edge computing environment by Hongying ZHU, Xinyou ZHANG, Huanlai XING, Li FENG

“…Edge computing has gained widespread usage in intelligent applications due to its benefits, including low latency, high bandwidth, and cost-effectiveness.However, it also faces many security challenges due to its distributed, real-time, multi-source and heterogeneous data characteristics.Identity authentication serves as the initial step for terminal to access to the network and acts as the first line of defense for edge computing.To address the security issues in the edge computing environment, a terminal cross-domain authentication protocol suitable for the edge computing environment was proposed based on the ＆quot;cloud-edge-end＆quot; three-level network authentication architecture.Access authentication was implemented between terminals and local edge nodes based on the SM9 algorithm, and session keys were negotiated.The secret key was combined with symmetric encryption technology and hash function to achieve cross-domain authentication for the terminal.The pseudonym mechanism was used in the authentication process to protect the privacy of end users.The terminal only needs to register once, and it can roam randomly between different security domains.BAN logic was used to prove the correctness of the protocol and analyze its security.The results show that this protocol is capable of resisting common attacks in IoT scenarios, and it features characteristics such as single sign-on and user anonymity.The performance of the cross-domain authentication protocol was evaluated based on computational and communication costs, and compared with existing schemes.The experimental results show that this protocol outperforms other schemes in terms of computational and communication costs, making it suitable for resource-constrained terminal devices.Overall, the proposed protocol offers lightweight and secure identity authentication within edge computing environments.…”
