Due to the complexity of blockchain technology, it usually costs too much effort to build, maintain and monitor a blockchain system that supports a targeted application. To this end, the emerging “Blockchain as a Service” (BaaS) makes the blockchain and distributed ledgers more accessible, particularly for businesses, by reducing costs and overheads. BaaS combines the high computing power of cloud computing, the pervasiveness of IoT and the decentralization of blockchain, allowing people to build their own applications while ensuring the transparency and openness of the system. This paper surveys the research outputs of both academia and industry. First, it introduces the representative architectures of BaaS systems and then summarizes the research contributions of BaaS from the technologies for service provision, roles, container and virtualization, interfaces, customization and evaluation. The typical applications of BaaS in both academic and practical domains are also introduced. At present, the research on the blockchain is abundant, but research on BaaS is still in its infancy. Six challenges of BaaS are concluded in this paper for further study directions. 相似文献

The heavy reliance on data is one of the major reasons that currently limit the development of deep learning. Data quality directly dominates the effect of deep learning models, and the long-tailed distribution is one of the factors affecting data quality. The long-tailed phenomenon is prevalent due to the prevalence of power law in nature. In this case, the performance of deep learning models is often dominated by the head classes while the learning of the tail classes is severely underdeveloped. In order to learn adequately for all classes, many researchers have studied and preliminarily addressed the long-tailed problem. In this survey, we focus on the problems caused by long-tailed data distribution, sort out the representative long-tailed visual recognition datasets and summarize some mainstream long-tailed studies. Specifically, we summarize these studies into ten categories from the perspective of representation learning, and outline the highlights and limitations of each category. Besides, we have studied four quantitative metrics for evaluating the imbalance, and suggest using the Gini coefficient to evaluate the long-tailedness of a dataset. Based on the Gini coefficient, we quantitatively study 20 widely-used and large-scale visual datasets proposed in the last decade, and find that the long-tailed phenomenon is widespread and has not been fully studied. Finally, we provide several future directions for the development of long-tailed learning to provide more ideas for readers.

Ultrathin Co3O4 nanosheets grown on the reduced graphene oxide (Co3O4/rGO) was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and was investigated as a cathode in a Li-O2 battery. Benefited from the synergistic effect between Co3O4 and rGO, the hybrid exhibits a high initial capacity of 10,528 mAh g?1 along with a high coulombic efficiency (84.4%) at 100 mA g?1. In addition, the batteries show an enhanced cycling stability and after 113 cycles, the cut-off discharge voltage remains above 2.5 V. The outstanding performance is intimately related to the high surface area of rGO, which not only provide carbon skeleton for the uniform distribution of Co3O4 nanosheets but also facilitate the reversible formation and decomposition of insoluble Li2O2. The results of electrochemical tests confirm that the Co3O4/rGO hybrid is a promising candidate for the Li-O2 batteries. 相似文献
Y3?xCexFe5O12 (CeYIG) ceramics, with x = 0, 0.15, 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, and 0.5, were fabricated by a conventional ceramic sintering technique. We studied the structures and magnetic fields of a series of CeYIG ceramics using X-ray powder diffraction, a scanning electron microscope, and a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. Findings showed that the substitution limit of the concentration of Ce3+ ions in the yttrium iron garnet structure was approximately x = 0.25. An extra CeO2 phase was detected in the ceramic when the addition of CeO2 content overtook the limit. The lattice constants and relative densities increased by increasing the Ce3+ contents in the ceramics. First, the saturation magnetization increased gradually with increases in the substitute concentration of Ce3+ ions and then decreased gradually when x = 0.35, 0.45, and 0.5. Overall, this study showed that the Y3?xCexFe5O12 material with x ≤ 0.15 exhibited excellent magnetic properties. Hence, the material show promise for magneto-optical and microwave communication applications. 相似文献
