Establishment and Evaluation of Atmospheric Water Vapor Inversion Model Without Meteorological Parameters Based on Machine Learning by Ning Liu, Yu Shen, Shuangcheng Zhang, Xuejian Zhu

“…A high spatial and temporal resolution of atmospheric precipitable water can be obtained using ground-based GNSS, but its inversion accuracy is usually limited by the weighted mean temperature, Tm. For this reason, based on the data of 17 ground-based GNSS stations and water vapor reanalysis products over 2 years in the Hong Kong region, a new model for water vapor inversion without the Tm parameter is established by deep learning in this paper, the research results showed that, compared with the PWV information calculated by the traditional model using Tm parameter, the accuracy of the PWV retrieved by the new model proposed in this paper is higher, and its accuracy index parameters BIAS, MAE, and RMSE are improved by 38% on average. …”

Multiobjective Optimization Design and Performance Prediction of Centrifugal Pump Based on Orthogonal Test by Yuqin Wang, Xinwang Huo

“…The results showed that the optimization pump had no obvious “jet-wake” flow structure, its maximum velocity was less than the prototype pump, the area of low-speed zone was larger than the prototype pump, the efficiency of the centrifugal pump was improved, and the shaft power and pump net positive suction head were reduced. The reason of the head decrease was analyzed from the internal flow situation, and the accuracy of the design optimization process was proved.…”

Research on IoT security situation awareness method based on evidence theory by Jian LI, Tinglu DONG, Jie LI

“…The security problem of IoT became more and more serious with its rapid development.Considering that the current IoT security situation awareness system lacks generality and excessively relies on expert knowledge, a IoT security situation awareness method based on improved D-S evidence theory was proposed in this paper.Fuzzy Gaussian membership function was used to calculate the vulnerability information membership matrix, which was normalized as evidence distribution matrix.The improved Topsis method was used to measure the evidence credibility.In order to fully restrain the credibility of conflicting evidence and improve the credibility of mutually supporting evidence, local credibility between two evidence was aggregated and the expected positive and negative solution vectors were improved according to the situation assessment scenario.And the weighted average method was used for vulnerability information fusion, to obtain the result of situational assessment.The result of situational awareness was fused with the time discount and high-risk vulnerability information discount evidence theory.At the same time, the IoT vulnerability information at different moments was considered comprehensively, the evidence was adaptively and dynamically weighted with the ratio information of high-risk vulnerability.The experimental results show that in the fusion of different numbers of evidence bodies and four common conflicting evidence, the improved Topsis method has higher fusion probability on credible proposition.In the aspect of situation assessment, the risk degree of current system is accurately assessed.And in the aspect of situational awareness, this discount evidence theory can predict the probability of high risk and critical risk, which is more effective than the traditional D-S evidence theory.According to this theory, a IoT security situational awareness method process was proposed, which would be used to guide engineering practice.In the future, the relationship between vulnerabilities can be considered and richer information between vulnerabilities can be extracted for vulnerability exploiting, so that the result of situation assessment is more accurate and reasonable.On the other hand, for situational awareness, game theory can be adopted in the process of dynamic game between the attacker and defender.…”
