Effect of anchor shear deformation on the propagation rules of excitation stress waves by Chuanming Li, Chuan Li, Bochao Nie, Qinghua Han, Jianguo Cao

“…Moreover, the propagation characteristics of the stress wave in the anchor rods under shear with varying degrees of deformation have been elucidated. A novel non-destructive testing method for assessing the degree of shear deformation in anchor rods is proposed based on the correlation between the energy evolution law of the stress wave and the degree of anchor deformation. …”

Relay selection algorithm based on selfish behavior analysis in ultra-dense D2D by Yijun WANG, Youxu ZHANG, Dakun LIU, Guifen CHEN

“…In ultra-dense D2D communication, the current relay selection schemes mainly assume that the relay device has the initiative to participate in data forwarding, but some rational relay devices may delay or refuse to forward due to their own considerations, thus affecting the user experience.From the perspective of selfish behavior of relay devices, a method to identify selfish relay devices in D2D communication was proposed, and then an ultra-dense D2D relay selection algorithm based on selfish behavior analysis was proposed.Firstly, three relay identification attribute factors, namely joint interest degree (JID), forwarding history ratio (FHR) and relay physical state (RPS) were defined, and their weights were calculated by triangular fuzzy function to identify relay devices with selfish behavior.Secondly, based on the TOPSIS (technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution) method, the final relay equipment selection scheme relay was realized.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can identify selfish relay devices more effectively in D2D communication.Compared with other relay selection algorithms, the proposed algorithm has made significant progress in the aspects of D2D communication forwarding success rate, system average throughput and average time delay.…”

Traffic characteristic based privacy leakage assessment scheme for Android device by Zhu WANG, Kun HE, Xinyu WANG, Ben NIU, Fenghua LI

“…Aiming at the privacy leakage,which was caused by collecting user information by third-party host in Android operating system App,a privacy leakage evaluation scheme HostRisk was proposed.HostRisk was based on TF-IDF model and hierarchical clustering method,which was applied in mobile device.The TF-IDF model calculated the business relevance between Apps and hosts via the behavior characteristics of the hosts in these Apps.For the business related hosts that fail to express the business relevance characteristics,those hosts were adjusted and optimized via the average connected hierarchical agglomerative clustering method.Finally,the harmful degree of privacy leakage was evaluated based on the ranking of all hosts in the App.The experimental results verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the scheme.…”
