However, the large amount of medical data involved in BIoMT has also raised concerns about data security and personal privacy protection. To alleviate these concerns, blind signature technology has emerged as an effective method to solve blindness and unforgeability. Unfortunately, most existing blind signature schemes suffer from the security risk of key leakage. In addition, traditional blind signature schemes are also vulnerable to quantum computing attacks. Therefore, it remains a crucial and ongoing challenge to explore the construction of key-secure, quantum-resistant blind signatures. In this paper, we introduce lattice-based forward-secure blind signature (LFSBS), a lattice-based forward-secure blind signature scheme for medical privacy preservation in BIoMT. LFSBS achieves forward security by constructing a key evolution mechanism using a binary tree structure. This mechanism ensures that even if future encryption keys are leaked, past data can still remain secure. Meanwhile, LFSBS realizes post-quantum security based on the hardness assumption of small integer solution (SIS), making it resistant to potential quantum computing attacks. In addition, we formally define and prove the security of LFSBS in a random oracle model, including blindness and forward-secure unforgeability. Comprehensive performance evaluation shows that LFSBS performs well in terms of computational overhead, with a reduction of 22%–73% compared to previous schemes.展开更多

Multiple, notable micromechanical models were evaluated to predict through-thickness thermal conductivity of both composite systems, and then compared to the experimental results. The results showed that filler volume fraction ranges and thermal conductivity differences of the constituent materials for the thermal conductivity ratio (km/kf or kf/km) used in the models can affect the resulting predictions. Certain models were found to be suitable for varying conditions on the thermal conductivity ratio. Finite element models (FEM) were developed to reveal heat transport mechanisms of the resultant nanocomposites and multiscale composites. The nanocomposite design for finite element analysis (FEA) provided close predictions and performed better than the micromechanical models. On the multiscale composite system, predictions were concluded to be dependent upon the FEM design where the interactions between nanoparticles and fibers are critical to accurately determine the through-thickness thermal conductivity.展开更多

文摘The integration of high-speed optical communication and distributed sensing could bring intelligent functionalities to ubiquitous optical fibre networks,such as urban structure imaging,ocean seismic detection,and safety monitoring of underground embedded pipelines.This work demonstrates a scheme of integrated sensing and communication in an optical fibre(ISAC-OF)using the same wavelength channel for simultaneous data transmission and distributed vibration sensing.The scheme not only extends the intelligent functionality for optical fibre communication system,but also improves its transmission performance.A periodic linear frequency modulation(LFM)light is generated to act as the optical carrier and sensing probe in PAM4 signal transmission and phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry(Φ-OTDR),respectively.After a 24.5 km fibre transmission,the forward PAM4 signal and the carriercorrespondence Rayleigh backscattering signal are detected and demodulated.Experimental results show that the integrated solution achieves better transmission performance(~1.3 dB improvement)and a larger launching power(7 dB enhancement)at a 56 Gbit/s bit rate compared to a conventional PAM4 signal transmission.Meanwhile,a 4m spatial resolution,4.32-nε/√Hz strain resolution,and over 21 kHz frequency response for the vibration sensing are obtained.The proposed solution offers a new path to further explore the potential of existing or future fibre-optic networks by the convergence of data transmission and status sensing.In addition,such a scheme of using shared spectrum in communication and distributed optical fibre sensing may be used to measure non-linear parameters in coherent optical communications,offering possible benefits for data transmission.

文摘Accurate spectral measurement and wavelength determination are fundamental and vital for many fields.A compact spectrum analyzer with high performance is expected to meet the growing requirements,and speckle-based spectrum analyzer is a potential solution.The basic principle is based on using the random medium to establish a speckle-to-wavelength mapping relationship for spectrum reconstruction.This article introduces current speckle-based spectrum analyzers with different schemes and reviews recent advances in this field.Besides,some applications by using speckle-based spectrum analyzers are also introduced.Finally,the existing challenges and the future prospects of using speckle for spectrum recovery are discussed.

文摘Backscattered lightwaves from an optical fibre are used to realise distributed fibre optic sensing(DFOS)systems for measuring various parameters.Rayleigh,Brillouin,and Raman backscattering provide different sensitivities to different measurands and have garnered the attention of researchers.A system combining the three principles above can effectively separate the measured strain and temperature completely as well as provide measurements of both dynamic and static parameters.However,the combined system is extremely complicated if the three systems are independent of each other.Hence,we propose a single-end hybrid DFOS system that uses two successive pulses to realise the Brillouin amplification of Rayleigh backscattering lightwaves for combining Rayleigh and Brillouin systems.A 3-bit pulse-coding method is employed to demodulate the Raman scattering of the two pulses to integrate Raman optical time-domain reflectometry into the hybrid system.Using this hybrid scheme,a simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters is realised,and a favourable measurement accuracy is achieved.

文摘Physically vitrifying amorphous single-element metal requires ultrahigh cooling rates,which are still unachievable for most of the closest-packed metals.Here,we report a facile chemical synthetic strategy for single-element amorphous palladium nanoparticles with a purity of 99.35 at.%±0.23 at.%from palladium–silicon liquid droplets.In-situ transmission electron microscopy directly detected the solidification of palladium and the separation of silicon.Further hydrogen absorption experiment showed that the amorphous palladium expanded little upon hydrogen uptake,exhibiting a great potential application for hydrogen separation.Our results provide insight into the formation of amorphous metal at nanoscale.

文摘Silicon carbide fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix(SiC_(f)/SiC)composite is the key cladding material of nuclear fuel,which determines the safety and reliability of nuclear fuel storage and transportation.The replacement of its storage and transportation scenario needs to be completed by the manipulator,but the application of SiC_(f)/SiC wear,fracture,and nuclear leakage in the snatching process of brittle-flexible-rigid contact in the irradiation environment has been seriously restricted due to unclear understanding of the damage mechanism.Therefore,the effects of irradiation dose and clamping load on the friction characteristics of the contact interface between SiC_(f)/SiC clad tube are studied in this paper,and the effects of irradiation parameters and clamping force on the static friction coefficient of the contact interface between the clad tube and flexible nitrile are obtained.Based on the Greenwood-Williamson tribological model,a numerical model of the shape and structure of the contact micro-convex at the micro-scale of the clamping interface is constructed by introducing the multi-surface integral,and finally verified by experiments.The research results show that there is a unique“Irradiation suppression zone”under the clamping condition of SiC_(f)/SiC cladding tube under the nuclear irradiation environment,and the growth of static friction coefficient slows down until stagnates after irradiation reaches a certain extent(600 kGy),and there will be a decline when the irradiation dose continues to increase,among which the clamping force of 15.2 N within the irradiation interval of 1,000 kGy can meet the safety of nuclear environment operation.The results of this paper can provide an important theoretical basis and application guidance for the safe operation of SiC_(f)/SiC cladding tubes in the storage and transportation clamping process.

文摘Current therapies for systemic lupus erythematosus that target a particular factor or cell type exhibit limited effectiveness.To address this limitation,our focus was on CD132,a subunit common to six inflammatory factor receptors implicated in SLE.Our study revealed heightened CD132 expression in SLE patients’lymphocytes,contributing to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and immunoglobulins.We developed a novel humanized anti-CD132 monoclonal antibody,named as 2D4.2D4 efficiently blocked IL-21 and IL-15,with limited effectiveness against IL-2,thereby suppressing T and B cells without disrupting immune tolerance.In the mouse immunization model,2D4 virtually inhibited T cell-dependent,antigen-specific B-cell response.In lupus murine models,2D4 mitigated inflammation by suppressing multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-dsDNA antibody titers,also diminishing proteinuria and glomerulonephritis.Compared to Belimumab,2D4 exhibited superior efficacy in ameliorating the inflammatory state and preserving renal function.Moreover,2D4 exhibited the ability to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory factors and autoantibodies in PBMCs from individuals with SLE,highlighting its therapeutic potential for SLE individuals.Potent,2D4 has the potential to significantly improve clinical outcomes in SLE and other complex autoimmune disorders.

文摘Spectroscopy is the basic tool for studying molecular physics and realizing biochemical sensing.However,it is challenging to realize sub-femtometer resolution spectroscopy over broad bandwidth.Broadband and high-resolution spectroscopy with calibrated optical frequency is demonstrated by bridging the fields of speckle pattern and electro-optic frequency comb.A wavemeter based on a whispering-gallery-mode barcode is proposed to link the frequencies of a probe continuous-wave laser and an ultrastable laser.The ultrafine electro-optic comb lines are generated from the probe laser to record spectrum of sample with sub-femtometer resolution.Measurement bandwidth is a thousandfold broader than comb bandwidth,by sequentially tuning the probe laser while its wavelength is determined.This approach fully exploits the advantages of two fields to realize 0.8-fm resolution with a fiber laser and 80-nm bandwidth with an external cavity diode laser.The spectroscopic measurements of an ultrahigh Q-factor cavity and gas molecular absorption are experimentally demonstrated.The compact system,predominantly constituted by few-gigahertz electronics and telecommunication components,shows enormous potential for practical spectroscopic applications.

文摘Ternary compounds with an immiscible pair of elements are relatively unexplored but promising for novel quantum materials discovery.Exploring what third element and its ratio that can be added to make stable ternary compounds out of an immiscible pair of elements remains a great challenge.In this work,we combine a machine learning(ML)method with ab initio calculations to efficiently search for the energetically favorable ternary La-Co-Pb compounds containing immiscible elements Co and Pb.Three previously reported structures are correctly captured by our approach.Moreover,we predict a ground state La_(3)CoPb compound and 57 low-energy La-Co-Pb ternary compounds.Attempts to synthesize La_(3)CoPb via multiple techniques produce mixed or multi-phases samples with,at best,ambiguous signals of the predicted lowest-energy La_(3)CoPb and the second lowest-energy La_(18)Co_(28)Pb_(3)phases.The calculated results of Gibbs free energy are consistent with experiments,and will provide very useful guidance for further experimental synthesis.
