With the development of trusted network, the research of trusted evaluation mechanism of user behavior is a hotpot in the network security. In order to solve the problems of subjectivity, limitations and static in traditional trusted network user behavior evaluation models, we have to find a real-time and dynamic evaluation method for user behavior. In this paper, the authors construct a real-time evaluation mechanism based on double evidence classification of user behavior (DEC-UB). The evaluation mechanism includes the process classification and characteristic classification of user behavior evidence, which makes the user behavior evidence of any time can be directly involved in the trust evaluation, and the evaluation result is more comprehensive and accurate. Simulation experiments have evaluated the three kinds of user behaviors based on the DEC-UB, and compared them with the other two kinds of trust evaluation methods of user behavior, the results show that the proposed methods can evaluate the user's behavior comprehensively, accurately and dynamically in complex network environments, and the results are more realistic.

Jialing Zhang,C. Michael Hall,Myung Ja Kim Smart Tourism Research Center 2023 Journal of smart tourism Vol.3 No.1

This study investigated whether the Point of attachment (POA) theory can be used to measure the consumption intention on go and watch offline eSports games. The admiration for players, social interaction, and on-site consumption requirements for viewing offline eSports competitions are prioritized. In addition, eSports fans in various regions may have distinct consumption concepts and consumption patterns. Thus, this study surveyed China (n = 156) and South Korea (n = 127) eSports fans who subjectively perceive themselves to be fans of eSports player(s) and who have observed at least one offline eSports game. The results demonstrate that player attraction and socialization have positive and significant effects on offline consumption factors. There is no correlation between previous consumption behavior and satisfaction, but dining shows a significant positive effect on satisfaction. Moreover, there is a strong relationship between satisfaction and future attendance intention. In addition, effect of eSports fan attachment on future visit intentions are measured and there is no correlation between the two variables. The front end of the path in the new model's varied between Chinese and Korean supporters. Finally, theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.

Adaptive Consensus of Nonlinear MASs with Event-triggered Updating Algorithm

Jiale Yi,Jing Li,Zhaohui Zhang,Xiaobo Li 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2023 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.21 No.2

This paper investigates the consensus problem for a class of nonlinear leader-follower multi-agent systems with event-triggered updating algorithm. Unlike the most existing event-triggered control protocols, the controllers and parameter update laws are event-triggered and transmitted simultaneously by a composite eventtriggered condition. An exponential term of consensus errors is constructed novelly in the event-triggered condition to exclude Zeno behavior and decrease the number of events. Moreover, the stability of the closed-loop system is proved by using the Lyapunov stability theory. At the same time, all the signals in the closed-loop systems are globally bounded and the consensus errors converge to a small neighborhood of origin exponentially under the proposed control schemes. Finally, numerical simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.

A Qualitative Inquiry on English Learning Vision among Chinese Christian Graduate Students

Jiale Zhang,김정인 한국콘텐츠학회 2022 International Journal of Contents Vol.18 No.4

Vision represents an individual’s future image and is related to one’s psychological state. An individual’s second-language (L2) vision determines their language study goals, and religious or spiritual beliefs may be central to this vision of oneself. This study aimed to discover the participants’ L2 visions and explore how the Christian faith affects their L2 visions. The researchers adopted a qualitative research approach to examine how Christianity informed the L2 visions and English learning of four Chinese Christian graduate students. This study was performed in a provincial university in China and lasted from March 2021 to December 2021. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and informal talk. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis containing initial and axial coding. The findings showed that the participants’ L2 visions included their dissatisfaction with the L2 reality and the identification of their L2 expectations. Moreover, the data revealed that the participants’ Christian faith brought them devotion and self-discipline in English learning. Finally, the researchers found that the L2 vision and Christian faith can be combined into a unique vision to stimulate students’ English learning. One pedagogical implication is that students need to be encouraged by their teachers to discover their visions and develop different ones. Another implication is that teachers should simultaneously pay attention to students’ visions and adjust their teaching strategies to meet students’ needs.

Immunomodulatory biomaterials for implant-associated infections: from conventional to advanced therapeutic strategies

Dong Jiale,Wang Wenzhi,Zhou Wei,Zhang Siming,Li Meng,Li Ning,Pan Guoqing,Zhang Xianzuo,Bai Jiaxiang,Zhu Chen 한국생체재료학회 2023 생체재료학회지 Vol.27 No.00

Implant-associated infection (IAI) is increasingly emerging as a serious threat with the massive application of biomaterials. Bacteria attached to the surface of implants are often difficult to remove and exhibit high resistance to bactericides. In the quest for novel antimicrobial strategies, conventional antimicrobial materials often fail to exert their function because they tend to focus on direct bactericidal activity while neglecting the modulation of immune systems. The inflammatory response induced by host immune cells was thought to be a detrimental force impeding wound healing. However, the immune system has recently received increasing attention as a vital player in the host’s defense against infection. Anti-infective strategies based on the modulation of host immune defenses are emerging as a field of interest. This review explains the importance of the immune system in combating infections and describes current advanced immune-enhanced anti-infection strategies. First, the characteristics of traditional/conventional implant biomaterials and the reasons for the difficulty of bacterial clearance in IAI were reviewed. Second, the importance of immune cells in the battle against bacteria is elucidated. Then, we discuss how to design biomaterials that activate the defense function of immune cells to enhance the antimicrobial potential. Based on the key premise of restoring proper host-protective immunity, varying advanced immune-enhanced antimicrobial strategies were discussed. Finally, current issues and perspectives in this field were offered. This review will provide scientific guidance to enhance the development of advanced anti-infective biomaterials.

목적 본 연구는 영어학습에서 학생의 유도된 동기적 격동을(DMC)의 유발 요인을 조사하였다. 방법 이 질적 연구는 2021년 3월부터 2021년 8월까지 진행되었습니다. 연구원은 중국에서 4명의 중국 기독교 대학원생을 참가자로 선택하고 인터뷰, 교실 관찰 및 문서에서 데이터를 수집했습니다. 수집된 데이터는 두 번 코딩되었고 연구 목표와 결합되어 영어 학습에서 참가자의 DMC를 탐색했습니다. 결과 연구 결과는 참가자들이 영어 학습과 기독교 신앙에 대해 비슷한 비전을 공유했음을 보여주었습니다. 이 외에 비전은 현저한 촉진(SF) 구조를 포함합니다. 이 비전은 참가자들이 SF 구조에서 영어 학습 습관을 유지하는 데 도움이 되었습니다. 마지막으로, 우리는 비전이 영어 학습에서 정서에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 발견했습니다. 결론 연구 결과를 사용하여 학생과 교사를 위한 권장 사항을 제안했습니다. 학생들은 낙관을 유지하여 명확한 학습 습관을 길러야 하며 교사는 명확한 학습 목표를 설정하면서 학생들이 스트레스와 좌절에 대처할 수 있도록 도와야 합니다. Objectives This study investigated the triggering element of students’ directed motivational current (DMC) in English learning. Methods This qualitative study took place from March 2021 to August 2021. The researcher selected four Chinese Christian postgraduate students as focal participants in China and collected data from interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The collected data were coded twice and combined with the research objectives to explore participants DMC in English learning. Results The findings showed that participants shared similar visions for English learning and Christian faith. Moreover, the vision involves a salient facilitative (SF) structure. This vision helped participants maintain their English learning habits in the SF structure. Finally, we discovered that vision could influence emotion in English learning. Conclusions Using the study’s findings, we proposed recommendations for students and teachers. The students should remain optimistic about developing definite learning habits, and the teacher should help students cope with stress and frustration while setting clear learning goals.English learning, directed motivational currents (DMC), Christian vision, salient and facilitative (SF) structure, emotion

Free vibration analysis of thin rectangular plates with two adjacent edges rotationally-restrained and the others free using finite Fourier integral transform method

Jinghui Zhang,Jiale Lu,Salamat Ullah,Yuanyuan Gao,Dahai Zhao,Arshad Jamal,Ömer Civalek 국제구조공학회 2021 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.80 No.4

For the first time, the finite Fourier integral transform approach is extended to analytically solve the free vibration problem of rectangular thin plates with two adjacent edges rotationally-restrained and others free. Based on the fundamental transform theory, the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) of the plate is converted to ordinary linear algebraic simultaneous equations without assuming trial function for deflection, which reduces the mathematical complexity caused by both the free corner and rotationally-restrained edges. By coupling with mathematical manipulation, the analytical solutions are elegantly achieved in a straightforward procedure. In addition, the vibration characteristics of plates under classical boundary conditions are also studied by choosing different rotating fixed coefficients. Finally, more than 400 comprehensive analytical solutions were well validated by finite element method (FEM) results, which can be served as reference data for further studies. The advantages of the present method are that it does not need to preselect the deformation function, and it has general applicability to various boundary conditions. The presented approach is promising to be further extended to solve the static and dynamic problems of moderately thick plates and thick plates.
