Wearable sensors for measuring spontaneous upper limb use in children with unilateral cerebral palsy and typical development by Elena Beani, Mattia Franchi de ’Cavalieri, Silvia Filogna, Veronica Barzacchi, Matteo Cianchetti, Martina Maselli, Giada Martini, Valentina Menici, Giuseppe Prencipe, Elisa Sicola, Giovanni Cioni, Giuseppina Sgandurra

“…Abstract Background Unilateral Cerebral Palsy (UCP) is a clinical condition which mainly involves the movement and muscle tone of one side of the body, often impacting the general manual function. While there are some clinical assessment tools aimed to quantify the Upper Limbs (UpLs) use and the manual abilities, acquiring information regarding the motor abilities outside the clinical environment, such as the UpLs use and their asymmetry during daily life, could provide a more complete evaluation of the child and open a new clinical reasoning. …”

RAISE study protocol: a cross-sectional, multilevel, neurobiological study of resilience after individual stress exposure by Konstantinos Ioannidis, Paul Wilkinson, Paul Fletcher, Samantha N Sallie, Laura Moreno-López, Muzaffer Kaser, Katja Schueler, Adrian Dahl Askelund, Lorinda Turner, Anne-Laura van Harmelen, Alicia J Smith, Camilla Nord, Eugenia M Davidson, Nadia González-García, Oksana Berhe, Rosalie Shrofer, Sofia Orellana, Sophie L Bellow, Suzanne Schweizer

“…We hypothesise that resilient functioning will be facilitated by reduced morning cortisol and cytokine levels before and after the stressor and improved neural responses to such stress, as well as increased gray matter volume in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, enhanced inhibitory control and emotion regulation, and more friendship and family support.Ethics and dissemination This study has been reviewed and given favourable opinion by the National Research Ethics Service, NRES Committee East of England-Cambridge Central and external reviewers from the Royal Society (RGF\R1\180064 and RGF\EA\180029). …”

The GPR-based estimation of the volumetric ice content of dispersed ground in the Central Yakut lowland by L. G. Neradovsky

“…The peculiarity of the connection is the sharp decline in the sensitivity of the propagation speed and the specific attenuation of electromagnetic waves in frozen dispersed soils with high volume ice content (more than  60%). In general, the specific attenuation of electromagnetic waves is more responsive to the change in the volume of ice content of frozen dispersed soils and, thus, it is more preferable to solve the problem of quantitative evaluation of this characteristic. …”

Research on IoT security situation awareness method based on evidence theory by Jian LI, Tinglu DONG, Jie LI

“…The security problem of IoT became more and more serious with its rapid development.Considering that the current IoT security situation awareness system lacks generality and excessively relies on expert knowledge, a IoT security situation awareness method based on improved D-S evidence theory was proposed in this paper.Fuzzy Gaussian membership function was used to calculate the vulnerability information membership matrix, which was normalized as evidence distribution matrix.The improved Topsis method was used to measure the evidence credibility.In order to fully restrain the credibility of conflicting evidence and improve the credibility of mutually supporting evidence, local credibility between two evidence was aggregated and the expected positive and negative solution vectors were improved according to the situation assessment scenario.And the weighted average method was used for vulnerability information fusion, to obtain the result of situational assessment.The result of situational awareness was fused with the time discount and high-risk vulnerability information discount evidence theory.At the same time, the IoT vulnerability information at different moments was considered comprehensively, the evidence was adaptively and dynamically weighted with the ratio information of high-risk vulnerability.The experimental results show that in the fusion of different numbers of evidence bodies and four common conflicting evidence, the improved Topsis method has higher fusion probability on credible proposition.In the aspect of situation assessment, the risk degree of current system is accurately assessed.And in the aspect of situational awareness, this discount evidence theory can predict the probability of high risk and critical risk, which is more effective than the traditional D-S evidence theory.According to this theory, a IoT security situational awareness method process was proposed, which would be used to guide engineering practice.In the future, the relationship between vulnerabilities can be considered and richer information between vulnerabilities can be extracted for vulnerability exploiting, so that the result of situation assessment is more accurate and reasonable.On the other hand, for situational awareness, game theory can be adopted in the process of dynamic game between the attacker and defender.…”
