Considering the internet of things (IoT), end nodes such as wireless sensor network, RFID and embedded systems are used in many applications. These end nodes are known as resource-constrained devices in the IoT network. These devices have limitations such as computing and communication power, memory capacity and power. Key pre-distribution schemes (KPSs) have been introduced as a lightweight solution to key distribution in these devices. Key pre-distribution is a special type of key agreement that aims to select keys called session keys in order to establish secure communication between devices. One of these design types is the using of combinatorial designs in key pre-distribution, which is a deterministic scheme in key pre-distribution and has been considered in recent years. In this paper, by introducing a key pre-distribution scheme of this type, we stated that the model introduced in the two benchmarks of KPSs comparability had full connectivity and scalability among the designs introduced in recent years. Also, in recent years, among the combinatorial design-based key pre-distribution schemes, in order to increase resiliency as another criterion for comparing KPSs, attempts were made to include changes in combinatorial designs or they combine them with random key pre-distribution schemes and hybrid schemes were introduced that would significantly reduce the design connectivity. In this paper, using theoretical analysis and maintaining full connectivity, we showed that the strength of the proposed design was better than the similar designs while maintaining higher scalability.
A new and efficient method for preparation of optically active poly(styrene–divinylbenzene) copolymers (PS-DVB) is presented here. This is carried out by Friedel–Crafts acylation reaction of chiral N-phthaloyl
-leucine acid chloride with PS-DVB beads in the presence of aluminum chloride as Lewis acid catalyst and 1,2-dichloroethane as the solvent at ambient temperature. Reagents’ amounts and reaction conditions are mentioned and four samples with different amounts of functionality have been prepared. Final products were characterized by FT-IR and elemental analysis. The results obtained confirm that the above modification in preparation of chiral supported PS-DVB has been achieved well and in moderate yield. 相似文献
A number of recent initiatives in both academia and industry have sought to achieve improvements in e-businesses through the
utilization of Business Process Management (BPM) methodologies and tools. However there are still some inadequacies that need
to be addressed when it comes to achieving alignment between business goals and business processes. The User Requirements
Notation (URN), recently standardized by ITU-T, has some unique features and capabilities beyond what is available in other
notations that can help address alignment issues. In this paper, a URN-based framework and its supporting toolset are introduced
which provide business process monitoring and performance management capabilities integrated across the BPM lifecycle. The
framework extends the URN notation with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and other concepts to measure and align processes
and goals. An example process for controlling access to a healthcare data warehouse is used to illustrate and evaluate the
framework. Early results indicate the feasibility of the approach. 相似文献
Elucidation of the molecular mechanism of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis is necessary to control nanoparticle size, shape, and monodispersity. In this study, the mechanism of AgNP formation by Neurospora intermedia was investigated. The higher production rate of AgNP formation using a culture supernatant heat‐treated at 100° and 121°C relative to that with an un‐treated culture supernatant indicated that the native form of the molecular species is not essential. The effect of the protein molecular weight (MW) on the nanoparticle size distribution and average size was studied by means of ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering. Using un‐treated and concentrated cell‐free filtrate passed through 10 and 20 kDa cut‐off filters led to the production of AgNPs with average sizes of 25, 30, and 34 nm, respectively. Also, using the permeate fraction of cell‐free filtrate passed through a 100 kDa cut‐off filter led to the formation of the smallest nanoparticles with the narrowest size distribution (average size of 16 nm and polydispersity index of 0.18). Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the fungal extracellular proteins showed two notable bands with the MWs of 15 and 23 kDa that are involved in the reduction and stabilisation of the nanoparticles, respectively.Inspec keywords: silver, nanoparticles, nanofabrication, proteins, molecular weight, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, cellular biophysics, electrophoresis, molecular biophysicsOther keywords: Neurospora intermedia, molecular mechanism, silver nanoparticle synthesis, nanoparticle shape, nanoparticle monodispersity, AgNP formation, untreated culture supernatant, molecular species, protein molecular weight, MW, nanoparticle size distribution, ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, untreated cell‐free filtrate, concentrated cell‐free filtrate, cut‐off filters, permeate fraction, polydispersity index, Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, fungal extracellular proteins, nanoparticle reduction, nanoparticle stabilisation, temperature 100 degC, temperature 121 degC, size 25 nm, size 30 nm, size 34 nm, size 16 nm, Ag相似文献
We propose a bi-objective cell formation problem with demand of products expressed in a number of probabilistic scenarios. To deal with the uncertain demand of products, a framework of two-stage stochastic programming model is presented. The proposed model considers minimizing the sum of the miscellaneous costs (machine constant cost, expected machine variable cost, cell fixed-charge cost, and expected intercell movement cost) and expected total cell loading variation. Because of conflicting objectives, we develop a two-phase fuzzy linear programming approach for solving bi-objective cell formation problem. To show the effectiveness of the proposed approach, numerical examples are solved and the results are compared with the two existing approaches in the literature. The computational results show that the proposed fuzzy method achieves lower objective functions as well as higher satisfaction degrees. 相似文献
Most of industrial applications of statistical process control involve more than one quality characteristics to be monitored. These characteristics are usually correlated, causing challenges for the monitoring methods. These challenges are resolved using multivariate quality control charts that have been widely developed in recent years. Nonetheless, multivariate process monitoring methods encounter a problem when the quality characteristics are of the attribute type and follow nonnormal distributions such as multivariate binomial or multivariate Poisson. Since the data analysis in the latter case is not as easy as the normal case, more complexities are involved to monitor multiattribute processes. In this paper, a hybrid procedure is developed to monitor multiattribute correlated processes, in which number of defects in each characteristic is important. Two phases are proposed to design the monitoring scheme. In the first phase, the inherent skewness of multiattribute Poisson data is almost removed using a root transformation technique. In the second phase, a method based on the decision on belief concept is employed. The transformed data obtained from the first phase are implemented on the decision on belief (DOB) method. Finally, some simulation experiments are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methodology with the ones obtained using the Hotelling T2 and the MEWMA charts in terms of in-control and out-of-control average run length criteria. The simulation results show that the proposed methodology outperforms the other two methods. 相似文献
miR-149 is an miRNA with essential roles in carcinogenesis. This miRNA is encoded by the MIR149 gene on 2q37.3. The miR-149 hairpin produces miR-149-5p and miR-149-3p, which are the “guide” and the sister “passenger” strands, respectively. Deep sequencing experiments have shown higher prevalence of miR-149-5p compared with miR-149-3p. Notably, both oncogenic and tumor suppressive roles have been reported for miR-149-5p. In this review, we summarize the impact of miR-149-5p in the tumorigenesis and elaborate mechanisms of its involvement in this process in a variety of neoplastic conditions based on three lines of evidence, i.e., in vitro, in vivo and clinical settings. 相似文献
The electrodiffusion method has been used in fluid dynamic research for the past 50 years. It allows the measurement of wall shear stress, a crucial parameter, e.g., for the cleaning of membrane modules used in water filtration. Various authors have published articles dealing with the theory behind this technique. But no paper collects all the knowledge assembled over five decades of application. Here, comprehensive summary of the theory of steady flow, unsteady flow, and transient voltage step experiments is given. Factors influencing the accuracy of the measurements are discussed. Furthermore, a new approach to calibrate the system from voltage step experiments is introduced, and practical issues related to its application in flow measurements are discussed for an exemplary signal response to a near‐wall flow. 相似文献
This paper introduces a decoupled adaptive neuro-fuzzy (DANF) sliding mode control system for the chaos control problem in a system without precise system model information. It has on-line learning ability to deal with the parametric uncertainty and disturbance by adjusting the control parameters and no constrained conditions and prior knowledge of the controlled plant is required in the design process. Also, a decoupled adaptive sliding mode controller is developed to control the chaotic Lorenz system for comparison. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed decoupled adaptive sliding mode and DANF sliding mode controllers are demonstrated by some simulated results. 相似文献
