Digital evidence discovery of networked multimedia smart devices based on social networking activities

Unquestionably, networked multimedia smart devices are commonly adopted in contemporary ubiquitous wireless computing era with unprecedented evolving pace in terms of mobility, portability, and pervasiveness. Regrettably, those technology-oriented gadgets are phenomenally exploited by cyber criminals or get involved in computer-related incidents unknowingly. Substantively, the detection, prevention, and the related digital forensics of the above scenarios are becoming tremendously urgent both in public and private sectors. Therefore, in this research, we investigate the scenario when state-of-the-art wireless communication technologies are integrated with the networked smart devices where digital evidences may exist and they could be disclosed when appropriate standard operating procedures are suitably applied. Accordingly, in this paper, a PDA with the built-in GPS navigation functionality via the ubiquitous Wi-Fi connection to a popular social networking platform (facebook) is cross examined concerning the related digital evidence collecting and discovering in terms of revealing previous facebook user accounts on the mobile device without shutting off the power. The research provides a generic framework for the digital forensics specialists to contemplate when the networked smart devices are involved in the related criminal investigation cases especially when omnipresent social networking platforms are becoming the new avenue for the escalating, stringent, and heinous cybercrimes.     

Damping of vinyl acetate–n‐butyl acrylate copolymers

A photopolymerization process at room temperature was devised to copolymerize vinyl acetate (VAc) and n‐butyl acrylate (BA) mainly to prepare rubber‐like damping sheet bearing pressure‐sensitive adhesive property in this study. The investigations using both the differential scanning calorimeter and rheometric dynamic analysis show the existence of two glass transition temperatures for each copolymer. The scanning electron microscopic pictures reveal that the degree of microphase separation increases with increasing annealing time at 70°C. It was suggested that the rubbery domain (formed by the PBA blocks) disperses in the glassy domain (constituted by the PVAc blocks), making an effective damping entity. Excellent damping was observed for the copolymer samples, with the tanδ peak values as high as 1.76–1.80 at a certain temperature range and with tanδ> 0.3 at quite wide temperature ranges. In addition, the copolymers containing more VAc tend to have the higher damping. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 1396–1403, 2004     

智能手机点击劫持攻击检测方法研究

点击劫持通过欺骗用户点击经过伪装的界面元素达到攻击目的。移动互联网环境下,智能手机的屏幕特征、手势识别、HTML5支持度高等特性成为点击劫持新的利用点。深入分析并实验验证智能手机脆弱特性,在此基础上提出点击劫持在智能手机上的潜在攻击方案。进而设计并实现一套有针对性的检测方案。该方案从静态页面和动态行为两个角度提取攻击特征,并进行基于规则的量化评估与组合判定。实验结果表明该方案可以有效地降低传统页面特征检测方案的漏报和误报情况。     

基于VPR的FPGA布局算法时延改进

基于模拟退火的现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)布局算法在计算关键度时存在一定的偏差。为此,提出一种FPGA布局时延改进算法。利用不同的模拟退火温度和交换接收率,以及前后2次布局的时延代价差,对FPGA布局的时延代价进行补偿。通过增加时延补偿模块来调整布局的代价函数,达到重新寻找布局过程中被遗弃的较优解的目的。实验结果表明,在MCNC基准电路上使用改进算法,布局的时延代价和线网代价分别比改进前的算法减少19.2%和0.5%。此外,电路的关键路径时延也得到了不同程度的改善,使得布局质量在各个方面都明显优于优化前的通用布局布线算法。     

Time Deformation,Continuous Euler Processes and Forecasting

Abstract. A continuous Euler model has time‐varying coefficients. Through a logarithmic time transformation, a continuous Euler model can be transformed to a continuous autoregressive (AR) model. By using the continuous Kalman filtering through the Laplace method, this article explores the data application of a continuous Euler process. This time deformation of an Euler process deforms specific time‐variant (non‐stationary) behaviour to time‐invariant (stationary) data on the deformed time scale. With these time‐invariant data on the transformed time scale, one may use traditional tools to conduct parameter estimation and forecasts. The obtained results can then be transformed back to the original time scale. Simulated data and actual data such as bat echolocation and the US residential investment growth are used to demonstrate the usefulness of time deformation in forecasting. The results indicate that fitting a traditional autoregressive moving‐average (ARMA) model on an Euler data set without imposing time transformation leads to forecasts that are out of phase while the forecasts of an Euler model stay mostly in phase.

不确定度模型下数据流自适应网格密度聚类算法

随着计算机技术及感知技术的发展及应用,各个领域普遍出现不确定性数据流形态的新型数据,吸引了众多研究者的关注.现有的数据流聚类技术普遍忽略不确定性特征,常导致聚类结果的不合理甚至不可用.为数不多的针对不确定性特征的聚类方法片面考察不确定性,且大多基于K-Means算法,具有先天缺陷.针对这一问题展开研究,提出了不确定度模型下数据流自适应网格密度聚类算法(adaptive density-based clustering algorithm over uncertain data stream,ADC-UStream).对于不确定性特征,该算法在存在级和属性级不确定性统一策略下,构建熵不确定度模型进行不确定性度量,综合考察不确定性.采用网格-密度的聚类算法,基于衰减窗口模型设计时态和空间的自适应密度阈值,以适应不确定性数据流的时态性和非均匀分布特征.实验结果表明,不确定模型下的数据流网格密度自适应聚类算法ADC-UStream在聚类结果质量和聚类效率方面都具有较好的性能.     

Polyimide foams with ultralow dielectric constants

To explore ultralow dielectric constant polyimide, the crosslinked polyimide foams (PIFs) were prepared from 3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA), 4,4′‐oxydianiline (ODA), and 2,4,6‐triaminopyrimidine (TAP) via a poly(ester–amine salt) (PEAS) process. FTIR measurements indicated that TAP did not yield a negative effect on imidization of PEAS precursors. SEM measurement revealed the homogeneous cell structure. Through using TAP as a crosslinking monomer, the mechanical properties of PIFs could be improved in comparison with uncrosslinked BTDA/ODA based PIF. The crosslinked PIFs still exhibited excellent thermal stability with 5% weight loss temperatures higher than 520°C. In the field with frequency higher than 100 Hz, the dielectric constants of the obtained PIFs ranged from 1.77 to 2.4, and the dielectric losses were smaller than 3 × 10^?2 at 25–150°C. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of incipient removal of hydrogen through palladium membrane on the conversion of methane steam reforming: Experimental and modeling

This paper presents a mathematical model based on the reaction rate expressions to describe the displacement of methane conversion in the steam reforming. The effect of several parameters including weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), load-to-surface ratio, reaction pressure, hydrogen partial pressure in permeate side and reaction temperature were investigated. Simulation and experimental results showed that a conversion higher than 80% could be achieved in a palladium membrane reactor at reaction temperature of 500 °C relative to 850 °C in a conventional fixed bed reactor (FBR). Besides, the yield of CO (<2%) in membrane reactor was much lower than that (>50%) in the FBR, which indicated the significant depression of CO production in use of membrane reactor.
