Benchmarking of lightweight cryptographic algorithms for wireless IoT networks

Wireless Networks - Cryptographic algorithms that can provide both encryption and authentication are increasingly required in modern security architectures and protocols (e.g. TLS v1.3). Many...     

Enrichment mechanisms of rare earth elements in marine hydrogenic ferromanganese crusts

A series of selective extraction experiments were conducted on marine hydrogenic ferromanganese crusts from the seamount near the Line Island to investigate the distribution of rare earth elements(REEs) and the mechanisms of combination between REEs and the hydrogenic ferromanganese crusts.The enrichment of REEs in hydrogenic ferromanganese crusts is attributed mainly to the mineral or oxide/hydroxide of the crust rather than the growth environment.The REEs are present mainly in amorphous ferric oxide/hydro...     

Exploring the deep biosphere

Over the past two decades, scientific drilling into sediments and rocks in the ocean and the continent has revealed the presence of physiologically and phylogenetically complex microbial life in the deep subsurface. Microorganisms, most of which have no cultured or known relatives in the surface biosphere, have been discovered in sediments and rock at depth as deep as 1 km below the seafloor and more than 3 km deep in the continent. The deep biosphere probably represents the most voluminous part of the glob...     

Attentional control in normal aging and Alzheimer's disease.

Objective: Attentional control, the ability to maintain goal-directedness in the face of distraction, has been shown to decline in normal aging (NA) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the nature and extent of deficits is under debate. This study investigated attentional control in NA and AD compared to healthy young adults in several tasks such as setting, suppressing, switching, and preparing attention. Method: Fifty-two participants (17 AD, 17 NA, and 18 young participants) underwent the Tower of London, the Zoo map test, the Stroop test, letter verbal fluency, a computerized version of the Rule shift cards tests, the Trail making test, the Plus-minus test, and a reaction time task with variable preparatory intervals. Results: Analyses of variance showed that NA as compared to young participants were impaired in the Tower of London, the Stroop test, and the Rule shift cards tests. AD as compared to NA participants were impaired in all tests except the Stroop test. Principal component analysis in young adults confirmed the modularity of attentional tasks, which was reduced in NA and AD participants. Principal component analysis in all populations showed a decline of attentional control with NA and AD regardless of the tasks, with an increase in between-participants variability only between young and NA participants. Conclusions: Attentional control dysfunction is different in NA and AD: NA affects suppressing attention, switching attention for unpredictable but not predictable events, and preparing attention for unpredictable events, whereas AD affects setting, suppressing, switching, and preparing attention with less specificity.

等旅行时面共反射面元叠加的应用研究

本文基于克希霍夫成像理论,对共反射面元(CRS)叠加方法进行了深入分析,阐述了等旅行时面共反射面元叠加方法(CRS-OIS)原理及其测试效果。指出CRS-OIS是对于传统共反射面元叠加方法的重要改进,它简化了传统CRS叠加方法,可以同时得到信噪比大幅度提高的叠前道集与零炮检距成像剖面。该方法首次被用于南海深水二维地震数据处理,处理结果表明基底与莫霍面的成像品质得到明显改善,提高了剖面的可解释性。

徐家围子断陷深层不整合结构及其与天然气运移的关系

为了深入了解徐家围子断陷深层不整合结构及其与天然气运移的关系,利用地震、钻井资料对徐家围子断陷深层不整合结构和岩石物性进行了统计分析;结合已有勘探成果划分了不整合运移通道类型,对与不整合相关的天然气运移方式进行了总结.结果表明:火山岩是徐家围子断陷深层不整合的重要组成部分,火山岩半风化岩石的孔渗性远优于顶板岩石;徐家围子断陷深层不整合运移通道可以划分为2大类9亚类,火山岩作为半风化岩石时可以形成多种类型运移通道.与不整合相关的天然气运移模式可归纳为不整合直接运移、不整合与连通砂体组合运移、不整合与断裂组合运移及不整合与断裂、连通砂体组合运移4种类型,不整合与断裂组合运移是沙河子组排出烃类运移至营城组火山岩圈闭的主要输导方式.     

西西伯利亚盆地北部大气田的形成条件和分布规律

西西伯利亚含油气盆地是俄罗斯联邦面积最大、油气储量最大和产气量最高的一个含油气盆地,也是20世纪70年代以来世界上新开发的特大型含油气盆地之一。截至2007年年底,西西伯利亚盆地天然气的已发现可采储量为16.1×1012m3,其中未开发油气田中的储量占9.96×1012m3,未发现资源量为31.6×1012m3。以盆地中57个大气田的资料为基础,结合盆地的构造—沉积演化过程,应用含油气系统的研究思路与方法,通过综合分析盆地北部生、储、盖等油气成藏要素,认为上侏罗统巴热诺夫组及其相当的层系是西西伯利亚盆地北部最重要的生气层,其有机碳含量超过7%;白垩系顶部的赛诺曼阶砂岩是大多数大气田(80%的天然气)的储层,平均厚度达800m。盆地内发育了大量复杂的构造—地层圈闭,已发现的大气田主要分布在努尔明长垣、梅德韦日长垣等盆地北缘的隆起区。未来天然气勘探的主要目标与储量增长区仍是南喀拉—亚马尔、纳德姆—塔兹含油气省。
