Distributionally Robust Self-Scheduling Optimization with CO2 Emissions Constraints under Uncertainty of Prices by Minru Bai, Zhupei Yang

“…In this paper, considering a power system with many thermal power generators which use different petrochemical fuels (such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas) to produce electricity, respectively, we establish a self-scheduling model based on the forecasted locational marginal prices, particularly taking into account CO2 emission constraint, CO2 emission cost, and unit heat value of fuels. …”

Electroacupuncture Alleviated Referral Hindpaw Hyperalgesia via Suppressing Spinal Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) in TNBS-Induced Colitis Rats by Pei-Ran Lv, Yang-Shuai Su, Wei He, Xiao-Yu Wang, Hong Shi, Xiao-Ning Zhang, Bing Zhu, Yu Kan, Li-Zhen Chen, Qiao-Feng Wu, Shu-Guang Yu, Xiang-Hong Jing

“…Rats in the colitis group (induced by colonic infusion of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, TNBS), instead of the control and vehicle groups, displayed evident focal inflammatory destruction of the distal colon accompanied not only with the sensitized visceromotor response (VMR) to noxious colorectal distension (CRD) but also with referral hindpaw hyperalgesia indicated by reduced mechanical and thermal withdrawal latencies. EA at Zusanli (ST36) and Shangjuxu (ST37) attenuated the severity of colonic inflammation, as well as the visceral hypersensitivity and referral hindpaw hyperalgesia in colitis rats. …”

Verifiable access control scheme based on unpaired CP-ABE in fog computing by Jiangtao DONG, Peiwen YAN, Ruizhong DU

“…Fog computing extends computing power and data analysis applications to the edge of the network, solves the latency problem of cloud computing, and also brings new challenges to data security.Attribute encryption based on ciphertext strategy (CP-ABE) is a technology to ensure data confidentiality and fine-grained access control.The excessive computational overhead of bilinear pairing restricts its application and development.In response to this, a verifiable access control scheme was proposed based on unpaired CP-ABE in fog computing.In order to make CP-ABE more efficient, simple scalar multiplication in elliptic curve encryption was used to replace bilinear pairing, thereby reducing the overall computational overhead.Decryption operations were outsourced to fog nodes to reduce user computational complexity, and based on the tamper-proof and traceable characteristics of the blockchain, the correctness of the access transaction was verified and the access authorization process was recorded.Security and performance analysis shows that the scheme is safe under the elliptic curve decision-making DBDH (Diffie-Hellman) assumption, and the calculation efficiency is higher.…”

Fault Diagnosis Method for Rolling Bearing based on Least Squares Mapping and SVM by Zhao Yu, Li Ke, Su Lei, Chen Peng

“…Aiming at the problem of extraction difficulty of early non-stationary weak fault signal feature,low resolution of characteristic parameter,early fault diagnosis difficult exist in the rolling bearing fault diagnosis,a fault diagnosis method based on least squares mapping（LSM） fault characteristic parameter optimization and support vector machine（SVM） is proposed.Firstly,the non-dimensional symptom parameters（NSPs） in the time domain can reflect the features of the vibration signals measured in each state are calculated.Then,the high sensitivity symptom parameters are built by optimizing the calculated non-dimensional symptom parameters（NSPs） in the time domain with the LSM theory.Finally,the symptom parameters selecting by sensitivity identification factor are input to the SVM for the fault diagnosis,the fault type of bearing is identified through the sequential inference diagnosis.The practical examples of fault diagnosis for a motor bearing are shown to verify that the method is effective.…”
