Liu, Zidong,Zhan, Hao,Wang, Shuang The Society for Aerospace System Engineering 2015 International Journal of Aerospace System Engineer Vol.2 No.2

According to the characteristic of carrier-based aircraft, the method of solving safe set during arresting landing is discussed in this paper based on optimal control and invariant set theory. The safe sets of carrier aircraft are evaluated in different states on the characteristic of longitudinal augmented system by using the level set method. Then, the influence on the boundary of safe set under various factors is analyzed. At last, the maneuverability envelope protection is established based on the corresponding theory, and the validity of the system is verified through simulation. The results demonstrate preliminarily that: compared with mass and thrust, the elevator is the greatest influence factor for the boundary of safe set; the dynamic trajectory of carrier-based aircraft can be located at the interior of safe set effectively with the maneuverability envelope protection.

Zhang Qiu-yu,Ren Zhan-wei,Xing Peng-fei,Huang Yi-bo,Yu Shuang 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Security and Its Applicat Vol.10 No.1

Speech perceptual hashing authentication algorithm is an efficient method for content integrity authentication and identity authentication. But the algorithm becomes transparent under the principle of Kerckhoffs which makes the algorithm unsafe. In this paper, the algorithm is encrypted under the principle of Kerckhoffs to protect the security of the algorithm. Then the specific link that won’t affect the performance of the algorithm is identified through the experiments. Next, this paper analyzes the security of the encrypted algorithm based on the concept of Shannon unicity distance. The unicity distance is figured out finally based on the experiments. That is to say, the algorithm loses its security even though the algorithm has been encrypted. Under this circumstances, the most important thing is to continue keeping the safety of the algorithm. Therefore, this paper proposed an efficient random secret key method to guarantee the safety of the algorithm after the unicity distance is figured out.

Security Authentication Method of Speech Perceptual Hashing Based on Fuzzy Commitment Scheme

Existing speech perceptual hashing authentication algorithms generally encrypt the perceptual hash value to protect the security of the algorithms. But under the principle of Kerckhoffs, the algorithm becomes transparent and fragile. And it can be seen that the secret key may be estimated when the number of times that reuses the secret key reache to a limit through the safety analysis of Shannon unicity distance. To solve these problems, we present a novel security authentication scheme of speech perceptual hashing based on the fuzzy commitment scheme (FCS). Firstly, in sender, the randomly selected BCH code word and the extracted perceptual hash value are sent to the Cmt() function to calculate and the final secure perceptual hash value (h(c),) can be obtained. Secondly, in receiver, the perceptual hash value is calculated again from the received speech information and then the calculated perceptual hash value with the received information  (commitment) are sent to the Decmt() function to calculate to get the h(c′). Finally, the h(c) and h(c′) are matched. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme effectively avoids the probability that an attacker obtains the plaintext/ciphertext pairs without affecting the performance of original algorithm, and at the same time it ensures the security of perceptual hashing algorithm.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an allergen-specific T-cell-mediated inflammatory response, albeit with unclear pathogenesis. Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by several cell types and widely distributed in various biological fluids. Exosomes affect the occurrence and development of ACD through immunoregulation among other ways. Nevertheless, the role of exosomes in ACD warrants further clarification. This review examines the progress of research into exosomes and their involvement in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of ACD and provides ideas for exploring new diagnostic and treatment methods for this disease.

The cartilage vascularization and chondrocyte survival are essential for endochondral ossification which occurs in the process of antler growth. Angiopoietins (Ang) is a family of major angiogenic growth factors and involved in regulating the vascularization. However, the expression and regulation of Angs in the antler are still unknown. The aim of this study is to localize the expression of Ang-1, Ang-2 and their receptor Tie-2 in sika deer antler using in situ hybridization and focused on analyzing the regulation of testosterone, estrogen, all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and 9cRA on their expression in antler chondrocytes. The results showed that Ang-1, Ang-2 and Tie-2 were highly expressed in antler chondrocytes. Administration of testosterone to antler chondrocytes led to a notable increase in the expression of Ang-1 and Tie-2, and a reduction in the expression of Ang-2. The similar result was also observed after estrogen treatment. In contrast, ATRA and 9cRA could inhibit the expression of Ang-1 in antler chondrocytes and heighten the expression of Ang-2. Simultaneously, ATRA could downregulate the expression of Tie-2 in antler chondrocytes at 12 and 24 h, while 9cRA upregulate the expression of Tie-2 at 3 and 6 h. Collectively, Ang-1, Ang-2 and Tie-2 are expressed in antler chondrocytes and their expression can be affected by testosterone, estrogen, ATRA and 9cRA.

Background and Purpose Collateral circulation is considered an important factor affecting the risk of stroke, but the factors that affect collateral circulation remain unclear. This study was performed to identify the factors associated with collateral circulation, especially blood lipids. Methods The study involved patients who had undergone digital subtraction angiography and were confirmed as having severe unilateral stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). We classified the collateral circulation status of each patient as good (Grade 3 or 4) or poor (Grade 0, 1, or 2) according to the grading system of the American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/American Society of Interventional Radiology. We collected data on patients’ characteristics and identified the factors that affect collateral circulation. Results This study included 212 patients. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration and a complete anterior half of the circle of Willis were independent protective factors for good collateral circulation, whereas elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and serum creatinine concentrations were independent risk factors for good collateral circulation. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) was 0.68 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61–0.76) for HDL-C and 0.69 (95% CI, 0.62–0.76) for Lp(a). A binary logistic regression model analysis of the joint factor of HDL-C and Lp(a) yielded an AUC of 0.77 (95% CI, 0.71–0.84). Conclusions In patients with severe unilateral ICA stenosis or occlusion, the combination of HDL-C and Lp(a) is a useful predictor of collateral circulation.

Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) play important roles in the insect olfaction and other diverse physiological processes. Forty OBP genes have been molecularly identified from Chilo suppressalis (Walker), a notorious rice pest in Asian countries, but little is known about the olfactory function for most of these genes. In the present study, we first determined the tissue expression profiles of 34 OBPs (excluding two general odorant bonding proteins (GOBPs) and four pheromone binding protein (PBPs)) by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), and found that 9 genes (OBP1, 3, 4, 11, 15, 17, 19, 20 and 24) were specifically or predominantly expressed in antennae of both sexes, suggesting their roles in olfaction, while three genes (OBP29, 30 and 32) were almost not expressed in antennae. Focusing on olfactory roles, the ligand specificities of six antenna specifically or predominantly expressed genes were further investigated for 35 plant volatiles, using the fluorescence competitive binding assays. The results revealed that six OBPs displayed different ligand preference, suggesting a differentiation of OBPs in ligand binding spectrum. Of six tested OBPs, OBP3, 11, 17, 19 and 31 showed moderate (Ki =10.21–19.85 μM) or high (Ki < 10.00 μM) binding affinity for 11 and one plant volatiles, respectively. In particular, a plant volatile β-ionone had high or moderate binding to all five OBPs. Our study suggests that these five OBP genes play important roles in the perception of different host plant volatiles, providing insight into the olfactory mechanism in C. suppressalis.
