Abstract Using the software ANSYS-19.2/Explicit Dynamics, this study performed finite-element modeling of the large-diameter steel pipeline cross-section for the Beineu-Bozoy-Shymkent gas pipeline with a non-through straight crack, strengthened by steel wire wrapping. The effects of the thread tensile force of the steel winding in the form of single rings at the crack edges and the wires with different winding diameters and pitches were also studied. The results showed that the strengthening was preferably executed at a minimum value of the thread tensile force, which was 6.4% more effective than that at its maximum value. The analysis… More >

Abstract With the high level of proliferation of connected mobile devices, the risk of intrusion becomes higher. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms started to feature in protection software and showed effective results. These algorithms are nonetheless hindered by the lack of rich datasets and compounded by the appearance of new categories of malware such that the race between attackers’ malware, especially with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence tools and protection solutions makes these systems and frameworks lose effectiveness quickly. In this article, we present a framework for mobile malware detection based on a… More >

Abstract The increasing prevalence of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced a new phase of connectivity in recent years and, concurrently, has opened the floodgates for growing cyber threats. Among the myriad of potential attacks, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks remain a dominant concern due to their capability to render services inoperable by overwhelming systems with an influx of traffic. As IoT devices often lack the inherent security measures found in more mature computing platforms, the need for robust DoS/DDoS detection systems tailored to IoT is paramount for… More >

Abstract Resveratrol (RSV), the primary polyphenol found in grapes, has been revealed to have anti-inflammatory properties by reducing the capacity of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-1ra and TNFα. Considering the close association between chronic inflammation and cancer development, RSV’s immunomodulatory properties are one way by which the polyphenol may inhibit cancer initiation, proliferation, neovascularization, and migration. Resveratrol influences the generation of microtumor environment which is one of the key factors in cancer progress. In addition to immunomodulation, RSV inhibits cancer development by expressing anti-oxidant effects, causing cell cycle… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study introduces a long-short-term memory (LSTM)-based neural network model developed for detecting anomaly events in care-independent smart homes, focusing on the critical application of elderly fall detection. It balances the dataset using the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE), effectively neutralizing bias to address the challenge of unbalanced datasets prevalent in time-series classification tasks. The proposed LSTM model is trained on the enriched dataset, capturing the temporal dependencies essential for anomaly recognition. The model demonstrated a significant improvement in anomaly detection, with an accuracy of 84%. The results, detailed in the comprehensive classification and confusion More >

Abstract The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at an unprecedented scale in many critical applications due to the ability to interconnect and utilize a plethora of wide range of devices. In critical infrastructure domains like oil and gas supply, intelligent transportation, power grids, and autonomous agriculture, it is essential to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data collected and exchanged. However, the limited resources coupled with the heterogeneity of IoT devices make it inefficient or sometimes infeasible to achieve secure data transmission using traditional cryptographic techniques. Consequently, designing a lightweight secure More >

Abstract To address uncertainty as well as transient stability constraints simultaneously in the preventive control of wind farm systems, a novel three-stage optimization strategy is established in this paper. In the first stage, the probabilistic multi-objective particle swarm optimization based on the point estimate method is employed to cope with the stochastic factors. The transient security region of the system is accurately ensured by the interior point method in the second stage. Finally, the verification of the final optimal objectives and satisfied constraints are enforced in the last stage. Furthermore, the proposed strategy is a general More >

Abstract The traditional air traffic control information sharing data has weak security characteristics of personal privacy data and poor effect, which is easy to leads to the problem that the data is usurped. Starting from the application of the ATC (automatic train control) network, this paper focuses on the zero trust and zero trust access strategy and the tamper-proof method of information-sharing network data. Through the improvement of ATC’s zero trust physical layer authentication and network data distributed feature differentiation calculation, this paper reconstructs the personal privacy scope authentication structure and designs a tamper-proof method of… More >
