Selection of key urban defense areas based on regional comprehensive risk assessment by WEI Hua, WANG Xiaoxia, YANG Fengbao, JIA Qi

“…Aiming at the problem of how to select high risk key defense area under the condition of limited urban defense force, to maximize the utility of limited force and minimize the urban risk, this paper proposes a method of selecting key defense area based on regional comprehensive risk assessment. Firstly, a reasonable risk assessment index system is constructed from the perspective of the intruder and the defender. …”

Content of consent to transaction by Iu.S. Povarov

“…Particular attention has been paid to the problems associated with the interpretation of the term “subject of the transaction”; two main interpretational approaches (broad and narrow) have been singled out and studied, and the logic of the narrow vision based on the consideration of the subject of the transaction as the most important but not the only essential condition has been argued for reasons of formal legal and substantive order. The classification of the conditions of consent turns out to be as follows: a) based on their substantive focus – main and additional (or accidental) conditions associated with the “organizational” moments of the transaction; b) by the criterion of the need for indication – mandatory (or objectively significant) and optional (or subjectively significant). …”

Study on Flood Control Dispatching Rehearsal in Shenzhen River Basin by LENG Yubo, LIU Xunping, LIU Chuan

“…At present,it is difficult to carry out large-scale flood control project construction in Shenzhen River Basin.Therefore,to ensure the flood control safety of Shenzhen Reservoir and downstream Shenzhen River,this paper follows the requirements of the forecast,early warning,rehearsal,and preplan proposed by the Ministry of Water Resources for flood and drought disaster prevention and analyzes constraints to be considered when constructing the rehearsal scene.In addition,the joint flood control dispatching rehearsal is carried out in Shenzhen Reservoir and Shenzhen River.By simulating the influence of reservoir flood discharge on river channel level under typical conditions,the paper explores the potential of the reservoir in flood regulation and detention and discusses the feasibility of flood discharge by staggering the tide.The results show that Shenzhen River Basin faces the heaviest rainfall in a decade,and the local heaviest rainfall in Shenzhen Reservoir is no more than once in 100 years.At the same time,under the unfavorable conditions of astronomical tides,Shenzhen Reservoir can effectively regulate flood peaks and ensure the safety of flood control.The results reveal the optimal effect of reservoir dispatching on flood control safety of Shenzhen Reservoir and Shenzhen River,and the joint dispatching rehearsal of Shenzhen River and Shenzhen Reservoir can be realized scientifically and reasonably through the flood model.…”

Spectrum demand prediction ofLTE-Rsystem based on delay difference constraint by Peng LIU, Wei LI, Bin LIU, Tan WANG, Suiyan GENG

“…In order to plan and allocate the spectrum resources ofLTE-Rscientifically,it is necessary to make reasonable forecast of total spectrum demand for LTE-R.After deep analysis of ITU-R M.1768 method,a spectrum demand forecasting method based on different delay constraints forLTE-Rsystem was provided.This method defined nine kinds of service categories,nine kinds of service environments,and derived the expression ofLTE-Rsystem traffic.Under different delay constraints condition of different services,the M/G/1 queuing model was used to analyze the spectrum requirements ofLTE-Rsystem preliminarily.The results show that the uplink and downlink spectrum demand of China’sLTE-Rsystem is asymmetric and the possible range is 14~15MHz uplink and 5~6MHz downlink,respectively.If new video traffic in the future is not considered,the current spectrum resources distributed to GSM-R system spectrum can meet the bandwidth requirements ofLTE-Rsystem.In addition,the influence of engineering frequency efficiency ofLTE-Rnetwork and high-bandwidth video traffic onLTE-Rspectrum total bandwidth demand was analyzed.This study provides technical support for the frequency planning of China’s next generation railway mobile communication system.…”

Fog-aided identity privacy protection scheme for sensing users in mobile crowd sensing by Hui LIU, Renwan BI, Jinbo XIONG, Mingfeng ZHAO, Biao JIN, Jie LIN

“…In mobile crowd sensing(MCS),attackers can reconstruct the social circle among sensing users,who use the social association information among sensing users and the correlation between the sensing user’s identity and sensing data to further attack a social alliance.In order to tackle this issue,a fog-aided identity privacy protection scheme is proposed.Firstly,two fog nodes are introduced which located at the edge of the sensing terminal.The one is task allocation center (TC) for handling the reasonable allocation of sensing tasks,and the other is data center (DC) for calculating sensing data.Furthermore,differential privacy is employed for preventing attackers from acquiring the specific social association weight of sensing users.Finally,in order to prevent attackers from obtaining the sensing users' identity information and sensing data at the same time,sensing users use different blind identities to communicate with TC and DC.Security analysis indicates that the proposed scheme can ensure the security of identity privacy information of sensing users in the process of completing sensing tasks.Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can protect the social association information between sensing users,and has a low delay.…”

Un avenir post-nucléaire ? Les atermoiements des acteurs du territoire de Trino (Italie) en contexte de démantèlement by Maude Gallimard, Cesare Mattina

“…This contribution tries to explain why the post-nuclear phase is not so obvious and the reasons that are largely holding it back. From a diachronic perspective, this article shows how the various actors and social groups of this territory went through the phase of decline in nuclear production (referendum of 1987 decreeing a moratorium on the construction of new plants), the uncertain phase of the shutdown of nuclear power plants production (1990), and then passive safety (1990-2003) and dismantling (since 2003) to settle in the lasting uncertainty of dismantling and waste management, waiting for a national repository that, in Italy, has still not been realized. …”
