A Scientific Perspective of the Three Harmonies Principle of Taijiquan

The Three Harmonies helps to regulate whole-body motion in harmony by balancing and aligning the movements of the body segments.Taijiquan uses the fangsong-relaxation modality to resolve the switching back and forth of the active muscle forces and the passive tensional forces of tendons,ligaments and fascial tissues.Fangsong induces the modulation of the muscles to resettle in a better state of balance,thus is necessarily a manipulation of the fascial tissues enveloping the muscles,organs and structures.In so doing,fangsong-relaxation cultivates the cognition and sensation of the fascial tensional network,which traditional Taiji theory refers to as Qi.Taijiquan harnesses Qi in the discipline of body motion to balance and align the momenta of the body segments in force transmission.This gives rise to maximal force potential in balance-the force of neijin(internal strength)-in response of application.Crucially,the settling into balance by fangsong functions as a neutral countermovement in the stretch-shorten cycle that primes the muscle-tendon unit in an ever-ready state of action,which endows neijin with the liveliness of response.Secondly,the fangsong manipulation of the fascial tissues serves as a fascial massage and release that provides relief to chronic pain syndrome caused by tenseness of muscles and fascia,a therapy that accrues with the many health benefits of Taijiquan.Lastly,but not least,the attentiveness required in the fangsong process develops into the meditation component of the practice which brings tranquility and the insight of mindfulness.Taijiquan thus bestows the triple gems of neijin,health well-being,and equanimity.

Adaptive Cloud Intrusion Detection System Based on Pruned Exact Linear Time Technique

Cloud computing environments,characterized by dynamic scaling,distributed architectures,and complex work-loads,are increasingly targeted by malicious actors.These threats encompass unauthorized access,data breaches,denial-of-service attacks,and evolving malware variants.Traditional security solutions often struggle with the dynamic nature of cloud environments,highlighting the need for robust Adaptive Cloud Intrusion Detection Systems(CIDS).Existing adaptive CIDS solutions,while offering improved detection capabilities,often face limitations such as reliance on approximations for change point detection,hindering their precision in identifying anomalies.This can lead to missed attacks or an abundance of false alarms,impacting overall security effectiveness.To address these challenges,we propose ACIDS(Adaptive Cloud Intrusion Detection System)-PELT.This novel Adaptive CIDS framework leverages the Pruned Exact Linear Time(PELT)algorithm and a Support Vector Machine(SVM)for enhanced accuracy and efficiency.ACIDS-PELT comprises four key components:(1)Feature Selection:Utilizing a hybrid harmony search algorithm and the symmetrical uncertainty filter(HSO-SU)to identify the most relevant features that effectively differentiate between normal and anomalous network traffic in the cloud environment.(2)Surveillance:Employing the PELT algorithm to detect change points within the network traffic data,enabling the identification of anomalies and potential security threats with improved precision compared to existing approaches.(3)Training Set:Labeled network traffic data forms the training set used to train the SVM classifier to distinguish between normal and anomalous behaviour patterns.(4)Testing Set:The testing set evaluates ACIDS-PELT’s performance by measuring its accuracy,precision,and recall in detecting security threats within the cloud environment.We evaluate the performance of ACIDS-PELT using the NSL-KDD benchmark dataset.The results demonstrate that ACIDS-PELT outperforms existing cloud intrusion detection techniques in terms of accuracy,precision,and recall.This superiority stems from ACIDS-PELT’s ability to overcome limitations associated with approximation and imprecision in change point detection while offering a more accurate and precise approach to detecting security threats in dynamic cloud environments.

The Cultural Gene and Historical Experience of China’s Peaceful Development

The Western society pays close attention to China’s development,draws supposed commonalities between China and the emerging powers that have competed for international power in history,and uses the"Thucydides Trap"to continuously amplify the"threat"posed by the growth of China’s national strength.This point of view is based on the historical practice of Western countries that take competition as the supreme value and stems from the Western logic that"a strong country will seek hegemony".However,the core fallacy of applying such stereotypes to China’s development lies in the lack of a genuine understanding of China’s cultural traditions and historical practices.The thought of peaceful development is the inherent gene of the Chinese culture.China’s gene for peace refers to the ideological,cultural and historical tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Chinese nation to deal with interpersonal,social and international relations based on the principles of"harmony and peace the most precious","harmony in diversity",and"peace,concord and harmony",including the corresponding beliefs.

Efficient Heuristic Replication Techniques for High Data Availability in Cloud

Most social networks allow connections amongst many people based on shared interests.Social networks have to offer shared data like videos,photos with minimum latency to the group,which could be challenging as the storage cost has to be minimized and hence entire data replication is not a solution.The replication of data across a network of read-intensive can potentially lead to increased savings in cost and energy and reduce the end-user’s response time.Though simple and adaptive replication strategies exist,the solution is non-deter-ministic;the replicas of the data need to be optimized to the data usability,perfor-mance,and stability of the application systems.To resolve the non-deterministic issue of replication,metaheuristics are applied.In this work,Harmony Search and Tabu Search algorithms are used optimizing the replication process.A novel Har-mony-Tabu search is proposed for effective placement and replication of data.Experiments on large datasets show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.It is seen that the bandwidth saving for proposed harmony-Tabu replication per-forms better in the range of 3.57%to 18.18%for varying number of cloud data-centers when compared to simple replication,Tabu replication and Harmony replication algorithm.

Hybridized Artificial Neural Network for Automated Software Test Oracle

Software testing is the methodology of analyzing the nature of software to test if it works as anticipated so as to boost its reliability and quality.These two characteristics are very critical in the software applications of present times.When testers want to perform scenario evaluations,test oracles are generally employed in the third phase.Upon test case execution and test outcome generation,it is essential to validate the results so as to establish the software behavior’s correctness.By choosing a feasible technique for the test case optimization and prioritization as along with an appropriate assessment of the application,leads to a reduction in the fault detection work with minimal loss of information and would also greatly reduce the cost for clearing up.A hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)with Stochastic Diffusion Search(PSO-SDS)based Neural Network,and a hybrid Harmony Search with Stochastic Diffusion Search(HS-SDS)based Neural Network has been proposed in this work.Further to evaluate the performance,it is compared with PSO-SDS based artificial Neural Network(PSO-SDS ANN)and Artificial Neural Network(ANN).The Misclassification of correction output(MCO)of HS-SDS Neural Network is 6.37 for 5 iterations and is well suited for automated testing.

Generating of Test Data by Harmony Search Against Genetic Algorithms

Many search-based algorithms have been successfully applied in sev-eral software engineering activities.Genetic algorithms(GAs)are the most used in the scientific domains by scholars to solve software testing problems.They imi-tate the theory of natural selection and evolution.The harmony search algorithm(HSA)is one of the most recent search algorithms in the last years.It imitates the behavior of a musician tofind the best harmony.Scholars have estimated the simi-larities and the differences between genetic algorithms and the harmony search algorithm in diverse research domains.The test data generation process represents a critical task in software validation.Unfortunately,there is no work comparing the performance of genetic algorithms and the harmony search algorithm in the test data generation process.This paper studies the similarities and the differences between genetic algorithms and the harmony search algorithm based on the ability and speed offinding the required test data.The current research performs an empirical comparison of the HSA and the GAs,and then the significance of the results is estimated using the t-Test.The study investigates the efficiency of the harmony search algorithm and the genetic algorithms according to(1)the time performance,(2)the significance of the generated test data,and(3)the adequacy of the generated test data to satisfy a given testing criterion.The results showed that the harmony search algorithm is significantly faster than the genetic algo-rithms because the t-Test showed that the p-value of the time values is 0.026<α(αis the significance level=0.05 at 95%confidence level).In contrast,there is no significant difference between the two algorithms in generating the adequate test data because the t-Test showed that the p-value of thefitness values is 0.25>α.

Evaluating rural sustainable land use from a system perspective based on the ecosystem service value

Rural sustainable land use(RSLU) is important to China’s implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals and the goals of rural revitalization strategy in China. Research on RSLU is key to understanding the impact of human activities on rural sustainability. This paper explored the evaluation method of RSLU from a system perspective based on the ecosystem service value(ESV). Three systems were proposed for consideration when conducting this evaluation method. One was the sustainability of the land system, the other was the sustainability of the ecoeconomic system, and the rest was the sustainability of the land-eco-economy system. Indicators including(1) land use intensity and land system stability,(2) gross domestic production(GDP), ESV, and the eco-economic harmony degree(EEHD), and(3) coupling degree and coupling coordination degree were used to analyze the sustainability of the land, eco-economic, and landeco-economic systems, respectively. An empirical research on Yanhe ecovillage was conducted and the study period extended from 2008 to 2020. The results showed that forest land had always accounted for more than 81.20% of the total area in Yanhe eco-village from 2008 to 2020, which greatly influenced land system stability and restricted economic development. This feature contrasted with RSLU. The total ESV of Yanhe eco-village declined by 1.60×106CNY during 2008–2020 because of land use changes. The EEHD was –0.01, which presented that there was a very slight unharmonious between ecology and economy. The coupling degree and coupling coordination degree showed that the development between the land and ecoeconomic systems exhibited a coupling coordination relationship. The results indicated that ecology and economy in Yanhe eco-village will change significantly in response to land use changes in rural areas, which further revealed the dynamic linkage between human beings and nature. Moreover, opposite variation tendencies in land system stability and ESV revealed that the contradiction between the high stability of the land system and well development of the eco-economic system. The results of this study implied that it is necessary and useful to integrate ESV into land management to achieve RSLU.
