Building irregularity issues and architectural design in seismic areas by Valerio Alecci, Mario De Stefano

“…A frequent plan-wise irregularity arises when earthquake resistant structures, such as cores and shear walls, are concentrated on one side of the building plan, while vertical irregularity often arises from the presence of soft stories especially located at the ground level or, less frequently, at an intermediate level. …”

Privacy-preserving real-time road conditions monitoring scheme based on intelligent traffic by Jiayin LI, Wenzhong GUO, Xiaoyan LI, Ximeng LIU

“…To alleviate the traffic pressure on roads,reduce the appearance of road congestion,and avoid the occurrence of traffic accidents,a privacy-preserving intelligent monitoring (PPIM) scheme based on intelligent traffic was proposed in combination with the safe and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm.To ensure the security of traffic data,the data content was randomly divided into independent parts via the secure multi-party computing strategy,and the data components were stored and encrypted separately by non-colluding multi-servers.To improve the accuracy of road condition monitoring,an improved KNN traffic monitoring algorithm was proposed.By virtue of the similarity calculation of data,the correlation value to measure the degree of traffic condition relationship between roads was obtained.And it was integrated with the KNN as the weight coefficient.To speed up the processing of dense data,a series of data security computing protocols were designed,and the data security processing was realized.In addition,real traffic data were used to verify the algorithm.The results show that the improved KNN algorithm is helpful to improve the accuracy of traffic monitoring.The analysis shows that the algorithm can not only guarantee the safety of data but improve the accuracy of traffic monitoring.…”

Private data access control model based on block chain technology in the internet of things environment by Weijin JIANG, Tiantian LUO, Ying YANG, En LI, Wenying ZHOU

“…The traditional “centralized” access control technology can no longer guarantee the security of private data access control in the current internet of things environment.Based on the ABAC (attribute-based access control) model, a blockchain based access control framework for the internet of things and a private data access control model were proposed.Firstly, the basic framework and process of access control were described and analyzed in detail, and an auditable access control model was proposed to systematically manage the access control policies of private data through the requests, responses and access records stored in the blockchain network.Then, an auditable access control system based on blockchain technology was proposed, which can provide distributed, fine-grained and dynamic access control management in the internet of things, realize the effective management and auditable access to data, and adopt the access control method based on smart contract to realize the transparent, traceable and automatic access control over the internet of things resources.Finally, simulation experiments and performance tests verify the effectiveness and security of the access control model and system.…”
