Abstract Driving fatigue is a physiological phenomenon that often occurs during driving. After the driver enters a fatigued state, the attention is lax, the response is slow, and the ability to deal with emergencies is significantly reduced, which can easily cause traffic accidents. Therefore, studying driver fatigue detection methods is significant in ensuring safe driving. However, the fatigue state of actual drivers is easily interfered with by the external environment (glasses and light), which leads to many problems, such as weak reliability of fatigue driving detection. Moreover, fatigue is a slow process, first manifested in physiological signals and then reflected in… More >

Abstract Electronic medical records (EMR) facilitate the sharing of medical data, but existing sharing schemes suffer from privacy leakage and inefficiency. This article proposes a lightweight, searchable, and controllable EMR sharing scheme, which employs a large attribute domain and a linear secret sharing structure (LSSS), the computational overhead of encryption and decryption reaches a lightweight constant level, and supports keyword search and policy hiding, which improves the high efficiency of medical data sharing. The dynamic accumulator technology is utilized to enable data owners to flexibly authorize or revoke the access rights of data visitors to the data to achieve controllability of… More >

Abstract Quantum algorithms for unstructured search problems rely on the preparation of a uniform superposition, traditionally achieved through Hadamard gates. However, this incidentally creates an auxiliary search space consisting of nonsensical answers that do not belong in the search space and reduce the efficiency of the algorithm due to the need to neglect, un-compute, or destructively interfere with them. Previous approaches to removing this auxiliary search space yielded large circuit depth and required the use of ancillary qubits. We have developed an optimized general solver for a circuit that prepares a uniform superposition of any N states while minimizing depth and… More >

Abstract Multimodal medical image fusion has attained immense popularity in recent years due to its robust technology for clinical diagnosis. It fuses multiple images into a single image to improve the quality of images by retaining significant information and aiding diagnostic practitioners in diagnosing and treating many diseases. However, recent image fusion techniques have encountered several challenges, including fusion artifacts, algorithm complexity, and high computing costs. To solve these problems, this study presents a novel medical image fusion strategy by combining the benefits of pixel significance with edge-preserving processing to achieve the best fusion performance. First, the method employs a cross-bilateral… More >

Abstract In a cloud environment, outsourced graph data is widely used in companies, enterprises, medical institutions, and so on. Data owners and users can save costs and improve efficiency by storing large amounts of graph data on cloud servers. Servers on cloud platforms usually have some subjective or objective attacks, which make the outsourced graph data in an insecure state. The issue of privacy data protection has become an important obstacle to data sharing and usage. How to query outsourcing graph data safely and effectively has become the focus of research. Adjacency query is a basic and frequently used operation in… More >

Abstract Medical imaging plays a key role within modern hospital management systems for diagnostic purposes. Compression methodologies are extensively employed to mitigate storage demands and enhance transmission speed, all while upholding image quality. Moreover, an increasing number of hospitals are embracing cloud computing for patient data storage, necessitating meticulous scrutiny of server security and privacy protocols. Nevertheless, considering the widespread availability of multimedia tools, the preservation of digital data integrity surpasses the significance of compression alone. In response to this concern, we propose a secure storage and transmission solution for compressed medical image sequences, such as ultrasound images, utilizing a motion… More >

Abstract The traditional air traffic control information sharing data has weak security characteristics of personal privacy data and poor effect, which is easy to leads to the problem that the data is usurped. Starting from the application of the ATC (automatic train control) network, this paper focuses on the zero trust and zero trust access strategy and the tamper-proof method of information-sharing network data. Through the improvement of ATC’s zero trust physical layer authentication and network data distributed feature differentiation calculation, this paper reconstructs the personal privacy scope authentication structure and designs a tamper-proof method of ATC’s information sharing on the… More >

Abstract During the operation of a DC microgrid, the nonlinearity and low damping characteristics of the DC bus make it prone to oscillatory instability. In this paper, we first establish a discrete nonlinear system dynamic model of a DC microgrid, study the effects of the converter sag coefficient, input voltage, and load resistance on the microgrid stability, and reveal the oscillation mechanism of a DC microgrid caused by a single source. Then, a DC microgrid stability analysis method based on the combination of bifurcation and strobe is used to analyze how the aforementioned parameters influence the oscillation characteristics of the system.… More >

Abstract A hard problem that hinders the movement of waxy crude oil is wax deposition in oil pipelines. To ensure the safe operation of crude oil pipelines, an accurate model must be developed to predict the rate of wax deposition in crude oil pipelines. Aiming at the shortcomings of the ENN prediction model, which easily falls into the local minimum value and weak generalization ability in the implementation process, an optimized ENN prediction model based on the IRSA is proposed. The validity of the new model was confirmed by the accurate prediction of two sets of experimental data on wax deposition… More > Graphic Abstract
