Abstract Space payloads which installed on spacecraft such as satellites and airships are usually experienced random vibrations and low-frequency sinusoidal vibrations during launching. In this paper, a space payload cabinet is introduced, and the damping design is carried out by applying constrained viscoelastic damping layer to the surfaces of the cabinet to ensure that the space payloads can withstand the above-mentioned mechanical environmental conditions. A reliable connection between the space payload cabinet and the shaking table is achieved through the vibration test fixture. The basic requirements for the function and design of the vibration test fixture More >

Abstract The energy consumption in operation and maintenance stage of construction project accounts for 80% of the whole project life cycle and therefore research on influence factors of energy consumption in project operation and maintenance stage is of great practical significance. Based on data of 260 valid questionnaires in Jiangsu area, structural equation model is adopted in the Thesis for empirical research on influence factors in operation and maintenance stage. Based on theoretical analysis and factor analysis, the conceptual model and research hypothesis for influence factors of energy consumption in operation and maintenance stage are proposed… More >

Abstract While many research efforts have been around auditing individual android apps, the security issues related to the interaction among multiple apps are less studied. Due to the hidden nature of Inter-App communications, few existing security tools are able to detect such related vulnerable behaviors. This paper proposes to perform overall security auditing using dynamic analysis techniques. We focus on data leakage as it is one of the most common vulnerabilities for Android applications. We present an app auditing system AppWalker, which uses concolic execution on a set of apps. We use static Inter-App taint analysis… More >

Abstract Improving Available Transfer Capability is an important issue in the deregulated power systems. The Available Transfer Capability of a transmission network is the transfer capabilities of a transmission network for the transfer of power for further commercial activity, over and above already committed usage. It is a proven fact that Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System technology can control voltage magnitude, phase angle, and circuit reactance. Therefore, it is important to investigate the impact of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System controllers on the available transfer capability. This paper is focuses on the evaluation impact of Thyristor More >

Abstract It will face a lot of problems when using existing image-processing and 3D scanning methods to do the similarity analysis of the line traces, therefore, an effective comparison algorithm is put forward for the purpose of making effective trace analysis and infer the criminal tools. The proposed algorithm applies wavelet decomposition to the line trace 1-D detection signals to partially reduce background noises. After that, the sequence comparison strategy based on wavelet domain DTW is employed to do trace feature similarity matching. Finally, using linear regression machine learning algorithm based on gradient descent method to More >

Abstract Nowadays, more and more smartphones communicate to each other’s by using some popular Next Generation Instant Messaging (NGIM) applications (Apps) which are based on the blockchain (BC) technologies, such as XChat, via IPv4/IPv6 dual stack network environments. Owing to XChat addresses are soon to be implemented as stealth addresses, any DoS attack activated form malicious XChat node will be treated as a kind of DDoS attack. Therefore, the huge NGIM usages with stealth addresses in IPv4/IPv6 dual stack mobile networks, mobile devices will suffer the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack from Internet. The probing More >

Abstract The Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm faces new and genuine challenges and problems associated, mainly, with the ubiquitous access to the Internet, the huge number of devices involved and the heterogeneity of the components making up this new global network. In this context, protecting these systems against cyberattacks and cybercrimes has turn into a basic issue. In relation to this topic, most proposed solutions in the literature are focused on security; however other aspects have to be considered (such as privacy or trust). Therefore, in this paper we define a theoretical framework for trust in IoT scenarios, More >

Abstract The Android application package (APK) uses the DEX format as an executable file format. Since DEX files are in Java bytecode format, you can easily get Java source code using static reverse engineering tools. This feature makes it easy to steal Android applications. Tools such as ijiami, liapp, alibaba, etc. can be used to protect applications from static reverse engineering attacks. These tools typically save encrypted classes.dex in the APK file, and then decrypt and load dynamically when the application starts. However, these tools do not protect multidex Android applications. A multidex Android application is More >

Abstract This article focuses on the use of the rough set theory in modeling of time series forecasting. In this paper, we have used the double exponential smoothing (DES) model for forecasting. The classical DES model has been improved by using the rough set technique. The improved double exponential smoothing (IDES) method can be used for the time series data without any statistical assumptions. The proposed method is applied on tourism demand of the air transportation passenger data set in Australia and the results are compared with the classical DES model. It has been observed that More >

Abstract Objective: Anomalous left main coronary artery (LMCA) with an intraconal course is a relatively rare form of anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) from the wrong sinus of Valsalva. There is currently a paucity of information regarding this entity. The purpose of this article is to review our surgical experience with repair of anomalous LMCA with an intraconal course.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of 12 patients with an anomalous LMCA and an intraconal course who underwent surgical repair. The median age at surgery was 15 years (range 2‐47). The seven oldest patients all… More >
