基于密钥服务器的IEEE 802.11i密钥更新方案

随着WLAN的广泛应用,无线安全越来越受到人们关注,密钥管理作为安全系统的实现基础亟待解决。针对IEEE802.11i标准为产生新的对等密钥PTK,STA与AP之间需要重新进行四步握手协议而加重STA开销的问题,提出一种基于密钥服务器的密钥更新方案(KSRS)。该方案对802.11i的密钥层次结构进行修改,增加了密钥更新层,可达到集中密钥更新的目的;结合STA的漫游特性,借鉴集中式密钥管理思想,引入可信实体KS来分发并更新密钥,可提供灵活的密钥管理操作。经性能分析,该方案的开销较小,能更加适应STA的移动性。     

Physicochemical and Theoretical Characterization of a New Small Non-Metal Schiff Base with a Differential Antimicrobial Effect against Gram-Positive Bacteria

Searching for adequate and effective compounds displaying antimicrobial activities, especially against Gram-positive bacteria, is an important research area due to the high hospitalization and mortality rates of these bacterial infections in both the human and veterinary fields. In this work, we explored (E)-4-amino-3-((3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino) benzoic acid (SB-1, harboring an intramolecular hydrogen bond) and (E)-2-((4-nitrobenzilidene)amino)aniline (SB-2), two Schiff bases derivatives. Results demonstrated that SB-1 showed an antibacterial activity determined by the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Bacillus cereus (Gram-positive bacteria involved in human and animal diseases such as skin infections, pneumonia, diarrheal syndrome, and urinary tract infections, among others), which was similar to that shown by the classical antibiotic chloramphenicol. By contrast, this compound showed no effect against Gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella enterica). Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive physicochemical and theoretical characterization of SB-1 (as well as several analyses for SB-2), including elemental analysis, ESMS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR (assigned by 1D and 2D techniques), DEPT, UV-Vis, FTIR, and cyclic voltammetry. We also performed a computational study through the DFT theory level, including geometry optimization, TD-DFT, NBO, and global and local reactivity analyses.     

Electrochemical sensors for biofilm and biocorrosion

The presence of biofilm modifies the electrochemical properties of the interface and the mass transport near the interface. Two biofilm effects are damageable: the reduction of heat and/or mass transfer and the biocorrosion or microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Two kinds of electrochemical sensors were developed: the first kind for the biofilm detection and the second one to evaluate the MIC risk. The biofilm detection is obtained by considering either the potential modification of the interface or the mass transport modification. The mass transport modification is analysed by considering the limiting diffusion current measured on a gold electrode where the biofilm development occurs. The MIC risk is evaluated with a sensor composed of two concentric electrodes in the material under investigation (e.g. carbon steel): a small disk electrode in the centre and a large ring. In a first step, a pit is artificially initiated by applying a current through these electrodes. In a second step, the risk factors of MIC are investigated by analysing the free coupling current circulating between these two short‐circuited electrodes.

Metabolic turnover and catalase activity of biofilms of Pseudomonas fluorescens (ATCC 17552) as related to copper corrosion

In this work we report the results of a combined biochemical and electrochemical study aimed to analyze both the growth of biofilms of Pseudomonas fluorescens on copper samples and its possible role in the instability of the metal/electrolyte interface.DNA and RNA were quantified along the time for biofilms grown on copper and glass to estimate both the growth of the bacterial population and its metabolic state (through the RNA/DNA ratio). The expression and specific activity of catalase were also determined to gain insight into their possible role in corrosion acceleration. The electrochemical behavior of the biofilm/copper interface was monitored by Linear Polarization Resistance (Rp) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) along the experiments.Results showed a longer lag phase for biofilms developing on copper that included a period of high metabolic activity (as measured by the RNA/DNA ratio) without biomass growth. Biological activity introduced a new time constant at intermediate frequencies in EIS spectra whose capacitive behavior increased with the biofilm development. The increment in this biofilm-related signal was accompanied by a strong limitation to charge transfer through a diffusion controlled process probably due to oxygen exhaustion by cells respiration, while the resistance of the interface decreased presumably due to oxide dissolution by local acidification under the colonies. In addition, catalase activity was found to be high in mature copper-tolerant biofilms, which differentially express a catalase isoform not present in biofilms growing on glass.

Ersatzneubau der Kajen im Marinestützpunkt Wilhelmshaven

Replacement construction of quays at the naval base in Wilhelmshaven At the naval base of Wilhelmshaven the quay walls and dolphins of a floating bridge system are being renewed. The existing quays show extensive damage and stability deficits. In particular, microbially induced corrosion (MIC) on the back of the old sheet piling lead to rust corrosion of the old sheet pile walls. Content of the report is the conceptual and structural implementation of the measure quay renewal that has been executed since the beginning of 2013. Special attention is paid to the security of the stock during the construction period, the selected corrosion protection measures as well as the requirements for the installation of combined sheet piling.     

Corrosion of carbon steel in sodium methanoate solutions

The behaviour of steel electrodes in sodium methanoate solutions was studied by coupling electrochemical techniques (voltammetry, OCP vs. time) with in situ micro-Raman spectroscopy analyses of the corrosion products. The polarisation curves depended strongly on the methanoate concentration. For the smallest concentration (10⁻³ mol L⁻¹), the current density increased regularly with the applied potential. So the behaviour of the electrode was typical of an active material. In contrast, for the largest concentration (10⁻¹ mol L⁻¹), the curves obtained were typical of a passive material. Methanoate ions favoured growth and stability of a passive oxide film more likely by adsorbing on its surface. The polarisation curve obtained for the intermediate concentration (10⁻² mol L⁻¹) was unusual and testified of an imperfect passivation of the steel surface. Finally, steel electrodes were left at the open circuit potential in the methanoate solutions. In any case, the passivity was rapidly lost and a general corrosion of the surface took place. In situ Raman spectroscopy analyses at the early stage of the corrosion process demonstrated that the first product to form was a green rust, GR(HCOO⁻). It was oxidised later into γ-FeOOH (lepidocrocite) by dissolved O₂. The process is then typical of what is usually observed in neutral or alkaline media, whatever the anions present and responsible of the GR formation. A new and detailed characterisation of GR(HCOO⁻) by X-ray diffraction was performed and a crystal structure is proposed.
