The PSF matrix is derived from the single photon incidence response function. A statistical iterative reconstruction（IR） method based on the system matrix containing the PSF is developed. More specifically, the gamma photon incidence upon a crystal array is simulated by Monte Carlo（MC） simulation, and then the single photon incidence response functions are calculated. Subsequently, the single photon incidence response functions are used to compute the coincidence blurring factor according to the physical process of PET coincidence detection. Through weighting the ordinary system matrix response by the coincidence blurring factors, the IR system matrix containing the PSF is finally established. By using this system matrix, the image is reconstructed by an ordered subset expectation maximization（OSEM） algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed system matrix can substantially improve the image radial resolution, contrast,and noise property. Furthermore, the simulated single gamma-ray incidence response function depends only on the crystal configuration, so the method could be extended to any PET scanner with the same detector crystal configuration.展开更多

Current defenses are typically categorized into active and passive measures that struggle to achieve comprehensive threat mitigation and often lack real-time response effectiveness. This paper presents an innovative ransomware defense system, ERAD, designed for healthcare environments that apply the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix to coordinate dynamic, stage-specific countermeasures throughout the ransomware attack lifecycle. By systematically identifying and addressing threats based on indicators of compromise (IOCs), the proposed system proactively disrupts the attack chain before serious damage occurs. Validation is provided through a detailed analysis of a system deployment against LockBit 3.0 ransomware, illustrating significant enhancements in mitigating the impact of the attack, reducing the cost of recovery, and strengthening the cybersecurity framework of healthcare organizations, but also applicable to other non-health sectors of the business world.展开更多

Firstly, the PCA method is introduced to extract the feature sequences of a behavioral matrix. Then, the grey incidence analysis between two behavioral matrices is transformed into the similarity and nearness measure between their feature sequences. Based on the classic grey incidence analysis theory, absolute and relative incidence degree models for feature sequences are constructed, and a comprehensive grey incidence model is proposed. Furthermore, the properties of models are researched. It proves that the proposed models satisfy the properties of translation invariance, multiple transformation invariance, and axioms of the grey incidence analysis, respectively. Finally, a case is studied. The results illustrate that the model is effective than other multivariate grey incidence analysis models.展开更多

Equation (30) copes-with DCS and Equation (36) deals with S-matrix, with different parameters, moreover, both equations contain real and imaginary parts. The DCS increases with increasing angle and polarizabilities, constant with dipole distance for both emission and absorption of single-photon. The DCS for both emission and absorption is responded to low incidence energy (30 eV - 60 eV) and photon energy (15 eV) while at high energy only emission and absorption are responded for DCS. The DCS between absorption and emission of a photon with angle variation, dipole distance, and atomic polarizabilities was found 1.098 a.u.<sup>2</sup> and at high incidence, energies were found 0.1 a.u.<sup>2</sup>.展开更多
