The Effect of Key Nodes on theMalware Dynamics in the Industrial Control Network

As industrialization and informatization becomemore deeply intertwined,industrial control networks have entered an era of intelligence.The connection between industrial control networks and the external internet is becoming increasingly close,which leads to frequent security accidents.This paper proposes a model for the industrial control network.It includes a malware containment strategy that integrates intrusion detection,quarantine,and monitoring.Basedonthismodel,the role of keynodes in the spreadofmalware is studied,a comparisonexperiment is conducted to validate the impact of the containment strategy.In addition,the dynamic behavior of the model is analyzed,the basic reproduction number is computed,and the disease-free and endemic equilibrium of the model is also obtained by the basic reproduction number.Moreover,through simulation experiments,the effectiveness of the containment strategy is validated,the influence of the relevant parameters is analyzed,and the containment strategy is optimized.In otherwords,selective immunity to key nodes can effectively suppress the spread ofmalware andmaintain the stability of industrial control systems.The earlier the immunization of key nodes,the better.Once the time exceeds the threshold,immunizing key nodes is almost ineffective.The analysis provides a better way to contain the malware in the industrial control network.

Different roles of surfaces’ interaction on lattice mismatched/matched surfaces in facilitating ice nucleation

The freezing of water is one of the most common processes in nature and affects many aspects of human activity. Ice nucleation is a crucial part of the freezing process and usually occurs on material surfaces. There is still a lack of clear physical pictures about the central question how various features of material surfaces affect their capability in facilitating ice nucleation. Via molecular dynamics simulations, here we show that the detailed features of surfaces, such as atomic arrangements, lattice parameters, hydrophobicity, and function forms of surfaces’ interaction to water molecules, generally affect the ice nucleation through the average adsorption energy per unit-area surfaces to individual water molecules, when the lattice of surfaces mismatches that of ice. However, for the surfaces whose lattice matches ice, even the detailed function form of the surfaces’ interaction to water molecules can largely regulate the icing ability of these surfaces. This study provides new insights into understanding the diverse relationship between various microscopic features of different material surfaces and their nucleation efficacy.

Novel Sensing Hole Recovery with Expanded Relay Node Capability

The occurrence of‘sensing holes’not only hinders seamless data col-lection but also leads to misinterpretation of information in certain areas under extensive data analysis.In order to overcome this,various sensor relocation stra-tegies have been proposed,but the existing relocation strategies revealed pro-blems such as the ping-pong,shaded area,network disconnection,etc.This paper conducted research on relocation protocols in a distributed environment that is very suitable for real-world situations and efficiently recovering the problem of sensing holes.First,a simulation was performed on the distribution of the shaded area for data collection,which is a problem with the existing representative relo-cation protocol.After that,a data collection capability was newly added to the relay node,which had been in charge of only communication between cluster zones so far,and with this additional functionality,the performance of the revised sensor relocation algorithm was dramatically improved to overcome the existing problems.In addition,the performance and validity of the proposed algorithm were verified through various simulations.

The Application of the Nonsplitting Perfectly Matched Layer in Numerical Modeling of Wave Propagation in Poroelastic Media

The nonsplitting perfectly matched layer （NPML） absorbing boundary condition （ABC） was first provided by Wang and Tang （2003） for the finite-difference simulation of elastic wave propagation in solids. In this paper, the method is developed to extend the NPML to simulating elastic wave propagation in poroelastic media. Biot＇s equations are discretized and approximated to a staggered-grid by applying a fourth-order accurate central difference in space and a second-order accurate central difference in time. A cylindrical twolayer seismic model and a borehole model are chosen to validate the effectiveness of the NPML. The results show that the numerical solutions agree well with the solutions of the discrete wavenumber （DW） method.

Matching design of hydraulic load simulator with aerocraft actuator

This paper intends to provide theoretical basis for matching design of hydraulic load simulator （HLS） with aerocraft actuator in hardware-in-loop test, which is expected to help actuator designers overcome the obstacles in putting forward appropriate requirements of HLS. Traditional research overemphasizes the optimization of parameters and methods for HLS controllers. It lacks deliberation because experimental results and project experiences indicate different ultimate performance of a specific HLS. When the actuator paired with this HLS is replaced, the dynamic response and tracing precision of this HLS also change, and sometimes the whole system goes so far as to lose control. Based on the influence analysis of the preceding phenomena, a theory about matching design of aerocraft actuator with HLS is presented, together with two paired new concepts of ＂Standard Actuator＂ and ＂Standard HLS＂. Further research leads to seven important conclusions of matching design, which suggest that appropriate stiffness and output torque of HLS should be carefully designed and chosen for an actuator. Simulation results strongly support that the proposed principle of matching design can be anticipated to be one of the design criteria for HLS, and successfully used to explain experimental phenomena and project experiences.

Prognostic significance of 14v-lymph node dissection to D2 dissection for lower-third gastric cancer

BACKGROUND Radical gastrectomy with D2 lymph node (LN) dissection is the standard surgical procedure for patients with resectable gastric cancer (GC). In the fifteenth edition of the Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma, the 14v LN (LNs along the root of the superior mesenteric vein) was defined as the regional gastric LN. The efficacy of 14v LN dissection during radical distal gastrectomy for lower-third GC remains controversial. AIM To analyze whether the addition of 14v LN dissection improved the survival of patients with lower-third GC. METHODS The data from 65 patients who underwent 14v LN dissection and 65 patients treated without 14v LN dissection were selected using the propensity scorematched method from our institute database constructed between 2000 and 2012. Overall survival was compared between the groups. RESULTS Overall survival was similar between patients with 14v LN metastasis and those with distant metastasis (P = 0.521). Among patients with pathological stage IIIA disease, those who were treated with 14v LN dissection had a significantly higher overall survival than those treated without it (P = 0.020). Multivariate analysis showed that age < 65 years and pT2-3 stage were independent favorable prognostic factors for prolonged overall survival in patients with pathological stage IIIA disease. Patients with No. 1, No. 6, No. 8a, or No. 11p LN metastasis were at higher risk of having 14v LN metastasis.CONCLUSION Adding 14v LN dissection to D2 dissection during radical distal gastrectomy may improve the overall survival of patients with pathological stage IIIA lower-third GC.

Short-term efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic spleen-preserving splenic hilar lymphadenectomy via Huang’s three-step maneuver for advanced upper gastric cancer: Results from a propensity scorematched study

BACKGROUND Robotic surgery has been considered to be significantly better than laparoscopic surgery for complicated procedures.AIM To explore the short-term effect of robotic and laparoscopic spleen-preserving splenic hilar lymphadenectomy(SPSHL)for advanced gastric cancer(GC)by Huang’s three-step maneuver.METHODS A total of 643 patients who underwent SPSHL were recruited from April 2012 to July 2017,including 35 patients who underwent robotic SPSHL(RSPSHL)and 608 who underwent laparoscopic SPSHL(LSPSHL).One-to-four propensity score matching was used to analyze the differences in clinical data between patients who underwent robotic SPSHL and those who underwent laparoscopic SPSHL.RESULTS In all,175 patients were matched,including 35 patients who underwent RSPSHL and 140 who underwent LSPSHL.After matching,there were no significant differences detected in the baseline characteristics between the two groups.Significant differences in total operative time,estimated blood loss(EBL),splenic hilar blood loss(SHBL),splenic hilar dissection time(SHDT),and splenic trunk dissection time were evident between these groups(P<0.05).Furthermore,no significant differences were observed between the two groups in the overall noncompliance rate of lymph node(LN)dissection(62.9%vs 60%,P=0.757),number of retrieved No.10 LNs(3.1±1.4 vs 3.3±2.5,P=0.650),total number of examined LNs(37.8±13.1 vs 40.6±13.6,P=0.274),and postoperative complications(14.3%vs 17.9%,P=0.616).A stratified analysis that divided the patients receiving RSPSHL into an early group(EG)and a late group(LG)revealed that the LG experienced obvious improvements in SHDT and length of stay compared with the EG(P<0.05).Logistic regression showed that robotic surgery was a significantly protective factor against both SHBL and SHDT(P<0.05).CONCLUSION RSPSHL is safe and feasible,especially after overcoming the early learning curve,as this procedure results in a radical curative effect equivalent to that of LSPSHL.

LPR-Trie: A Fast IPv6 Routing Lookup Algorithm with Virtual Nodes

The number of IPv6 routes in todays backbone routers has grown rapidly,which has put tremendous pressure on route lookup and storage.Based on the analysis of IPv6 address prefix length and distribution characteristics,this paper proposes an IPv6 route lookup architecture called LPR-Trie.The core idea of the algorithm is to utilize more spaces and accelerate routing lookup.Moreover,we put forward the concept of virtual nodes,and leverage the link between virtual nodes and ordinary nodes to accelerate routing lookup.We provide the longest prefix routing entry(LPR)calculation algorithm to achieve the longest prefix match.The experimental results show that the virtual node mechanism increases the search speed up to 244%,and the virtual nodes have better stability by setting an appropriate keep-alive time according to the characteristics of actual traffic.This paper shows that our design improves the routing lookup speed and have better memory utilization.

A study of damping factors in perfectly matched layers for the numerical simulation of seismic waves

When simulating seismic wave propagation in free space, it is essential to introduce absorbing boundary conditions to eliminate reflections from artificially trtmcated boundaries. In this paper, a damping factor referred to as the Gaussian dmping factor is proposed. The Gaussian damping factor is based on the idea of perfectly matched layers （PMLs）. This work presents a detailed analysis of the theoretical foundations and advantages of the Gaussian damping factor. Additionally, numerical experiments for the simulation of seismic waves are presented based on two numerical models： a homogeneous model and a multi-layer model. The results show that the proposed factor works better. The Gaussian damping factor achieves a higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio （SNR） than previously used factors when using same number of PMLs, and requires less PMLs than other methods to achieve an identical SNR.

Borehole-GPR numerical simulation of full wave field based on convolutional perfect matched layer boundary

The absorbing boundary is the key in numerical simulation of borehole radar.Perfect match layer(PML) was chosen as the absorbing boundary in numerical simulation of GPR.But CPML(convolutional perfect match layer) approach that we have chosen has the advantage of being media independent.Beginning with the Maxwell equations in a two-dimensional structure,numerical formulas of finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method with CPML boundary condition for transverse electric(TE) or transverse magnetic(TM) wave are presented in details.Also,there are three models for borehole-GPR simulation.By analyzing the simulation results,the features of targets in GPR are obtained,which can provide a better interpretation of real radar data.The results show that CPML is well suited for the simulation of borehole-GPR.

Ranking important nodes in complex networks by simulated annealing

In this paper, based on simulated annealing a new method to rank important nodes in complex networks is presented.First, the concept of an importance sequence（IS） to describe the relative importance of nodes in complex networks is defined. Then, a measure used to evaluate the reasonability of an IS is designed. By comparing an IS and the measure of its reasonability to a state of complex networks and the energy of the state, respectively, the method finds the ground state of complex networks by simulated annealing. In other words, the method can construct a most reasonable IS. The results of experiments on real and artificial networks show that this ranking method not only is effective but also can be applied to different kinds of complex networks.

An improved convolution perfectly matched layer for elastic second-order wave equation

A convolution perfectly matched layer(CPML)can efficiently absorb boundary reflection in numerical simulation.However,the CPML is suitable for the first-order elastic wave equation and is difficult to apply directly to the second-order elastic wave equation.In view of this,based on the first-order CPML absorbing boundary condition,we propose a new CPML(NCPML)boundary which can be directly applied to the second-order wave equation.We first systematically extend the first-order CPML technique into second-order wave equations,neglecting the space-varying characteristics of the partial damping coefficient in the complex-frequency domain,avoiding the generation of convolution in the time domain.We then transform the technique back to the time domain through the inverse Fourier transform.Numerical simulation indicates that the space-varying characteristics of the attenuation factor have little influence on the absorption effect and increase the memory at the same time.A number of numerical examples show that the NCPML proposed in this study is effective in simulating elastic wave propagation,and this algorithm is more efficient and requires less memory allocation than the conventional PML absorbing boundary.

Influence of Energy Level Matching on Device Performances of Organic Light-emitting Diodes

Through experiments and computer simulation,the influence of the energy levels of organic materials and electrode materials in the organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on the device performances is discussed.Results show that the device performances are influenced by not only the carrier injection barriers at the electrode interface but also the barriers at the organic heterojunction interface.This result is helpful to the selection of the organic materials and their arrangement in the optimal design of OLEDs.

Performance comparison of several optimization algorithms in matched field inversion

Optimization efficiencies and mechanisms of simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, differential evolution and downhill simplex differential evolution are compared and analyzed. Simulated annealing and genetic algorithm use a directed random process to search the parameter space for an optimal solution. They include the ability to avoid local minima, but as no gradient information is used, searches may be relatively inefficient. Differential evolution uses information from a distance and azimuth between individuals of a population to search the parameter space, the initial search is effective, but the search speed decreases quickly because differential information between the individuals of population vanishes. Local downhill simplex and global differential evolution methods are developed separately, and combined to produce a hybrid downhill simplex differential evolution algorithm. The hybrid algorithm is sensitive to gradients of the object function and search of the parameter space is effective. These algorithms are applied to the matched field inversion with synthetic data. Optimal values of the parameters, the final values of object function and inversion time is presented and compared.

Modified Multi-Resolution Telescopic Search Algorithm for Block-Matching Motion Estimation

This paper presents a modified multi-resolution telescopic search algorithm (MRTlcSA) for the block-matching motion estimation. A novel inverse telescopic search is substituted for the conventional telescopic search, that reduces the on-chip memory size and memory bandwidth for VLSI implementation. In addition, strategies of motion track and adaptive search window are applied to reduce the computational complexity of motion estimation. Simulation results show that, compared with the MRTleSA, the proposed algorithm reduces the computational load to only 30% while preserving almost the same image quality. Comparisons on hardware cost and power consumption of the VLSI implementations using the two algorithms are also presented in the paper.

Simulation of High-Transmission Chiral Metamaterial with Impedance Matching to a Vacuum

For a previously simulated eight-broadband negative-refraction-index chiral metamaterial, we use S-parameter retrieval methods to determine the complex effective permittivity, permeability, and the impedance. We also calculate the figure of merit, which is defined as the ratio of the real and the imaginary refraction components, and compare it with those of fishnet metamaterials. The simulation results show that our chiral metamaterial exhibits high transmission and impedance matching to a vacuum. Also, we determine that the electric and magnetic dipoles of the surface plasmons play an important role in determining the nine resonance frequencies. Therefore, this investigation provides an experimental basis for developing metamaterial devices with multiple and broad resonance frequency bands.

Parameter matching of hydraulic balancing circuit based on AMESim

In order to improve the stability of the hydraulic balancing circuit,taking a certain type of vehicular radar flip device as the research object,the influence of different wind load,counterbalance valve parameters and hydraulic pump flow pulsation on the system flip process are simulated and analyzed.Through the force analysis of the flipping device,the total load curve of the flip cylinder is obtained by using MATLAB simulation.The simulation model of balancing circuit and plane flip device are built by AMESim software,and the reasonable parameter matching relationship is obtained by specific simulation analysis.The simulation results show that when the wind load is to the left and decreases,the system runs more stably.When wind load works in the right direction,the load on the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder decreases but the jitter amplitude increases.At the same time,the stability of the balancing circuit can be effectively improved by properly reducing the damping diameter of the counterbalance valve,setting the pilot ratio to 4∶1 and using the hydraulic pump with small pulsation.The optimized parameter matching relationship can not only meet the requirements of typical system conditions and responses,but also improve the performance of the circuit.

一种基于FAsT-Match算法的多靶位定位方法

FAsT-Match(Fast Affine Template Matching)算法很好地实现了二维仿射变换情况下的模板在连续图像中的快速、精准定位。该算法对光照变化不敏感,具有较强的鲁棒性,但是对于有多个目标的图像,只能定位到一个近似全局最优解。因此,首先对FAsT-Match算法进行改进,将通过对得到的仿射变换矩阵进行模糊c均值聚类而得到的目标区域作为新的目标图像,然后采用原始的FAsT-Match算法进行定位,最后将新目标位置返回到原始目标图像中。该方法弥补了FAsT-Match算法只能定位单目标的不足,应用到无线激光模拟射击系统中能够降低硬件成本,快速、精确地定位靶位目标。实验结果表明,该方法是有效的,可以在满足定位多个目标的需求的基础上实现多靶位定位,具有一定的实用价值。
