Study of high-speed malicious Web page detection system based on two-step classifier by Zheng-qi WANG, Xiao-bing FENG, Chi ZHANG

“…In view of the increasing number of new Web pages and the increasing pressure of traditional detection methods,the naive Bayesian algorithm and the support vector machine algorithm were used to design and implement a malicious Web detection system with both efficiency and function,TSMWD ,two-step malicious Web page detection.The first step of detection system was mainly used to filter a large number of normal Web pages,which was characterized by high efficiency,speed,update iteration easy,real rate priority.After the former filter,due to the limited number of samples,the main pursuit of the second step was the detection rate.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can improve the detection speed of the system under the condition that the overall detection accuracy is basically the same,and can accept more detection requests in certain time.…”

Production and characterisation of a SARS-CoV-2 S-protein RBD homodimer with increased avidity for specific antibodies by A. A. Derkaev, E. I. Ryabova, V. V. Prokofiev, I. A. Favorskaya, D. M. Grousova, I. B. Esmagambetov, I. V. Dolzhikova, D. V. Shcheblyakov

“…Monomeric and homodimeric RBD forms were separated using gel-filtration chromatography and characterised by their ability to interact with specific monoclonal antibodies, as well as with serum samples from vaccinated volunteers. The homodimeric recombinant RBD showed increased avidity for both monoclonal and immune sera antibodies.Conclusions: the homodimeric recombinant RBD may be more preferable for the analysis of levels of antibodies to the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein.…”
