Despite...Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption(CP-ABE) is widely employed for secure data sharing and access control. However, its dependence on a single authority introduces security and performance challenges. Despite the existence of multi-authority CPABE approaches, persistent issues such as single points of failure and high computation cost on the user side remain. This study proposes a novel solution named blockchain-based and decentralized attribute-based encryption(BDAE) for data sharing. BDAE enhances traditional scheme by integrating blockchain and distributed key generation technology. The scheme employs an(n, t) threshold secret sharing algorithm, coupled with the Pedersen verifiable secret sharing method, for attribute key generation. This combination ensures key credibility,facilitates joint attribute management, and addresses single bottleneck and key verification issues. Integrated into a blockchain system, the scheme utilizes smart contracts for fine-grained access control and outsourced computing. Blockchain's decentralization and access logs make data sharing tamper-resistant and auditable. Moreover, simulation comparisons demonstrate that the scheme effectively reduces decryption overhead on the user side, meeting practical application requirements.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Peripherally inserted central catheters(PICCs)are commonly used in hospitalized patients with liver cancer for the administration of chemotherapy,nutrition,and other medications.However,PICC-related thrombosis is a serious complication that can lead to morbidity and mortality in this patient population.Several risk factors have been identified for the development of PICC-related thrombosis,including cancer type,stage,comorbidities,and catheter characteristics.Understanding these risk factors and developing a predictive model can help healthcare providers identify high-risk patients and implement preventive measures to reduce the incidence of thrombosis.AIM To analyze the influencing factors of PICC-related thrombosis in hospitalized patients with liver cancer,construct a predictive model,and validate it.METHODS Clinical data of hospitalized patients with liver cancer admitted from January 2020 to December 2023 were collected.Thirty-five cases of PICC-related thrombosis in hospitalized patients with liver cancer were collected,and 220 patients who underwent PICC placement during the same period but did not develop PICC-related thrombosis were randomly selected as controls.A total of 255 samples were collected and used as the training set,and 77 cases were collected as the validation set in a 7:3 ratio.General patient information,case data,catheterization data,coagulation indicators,and Autar Thrombosis Risk Assessment Scale scores were analyzed.Univariate and multivariate unconditional logistic regression analyses were performed on relevant factors,and the value of combined indicators in predicting PICC-related thrombosis in hospitalized patients with liver cancer was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.RESULTS Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences(P<0.05)in age,sex,Karnofsky performance status score(KPS),bedridden time,activities of daily living impairment,parenteral nutrition,catheter duration,distant metastasis,and bone marrow suppression between the thrombosis group and the non-thrombosis group.Other aspects had no statistically significant differences(P>0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that age≥60 years,KPS score≤50 points,parenteral nutrition,stage III to IV,distant metastasis,bone marrow suppression,and activities of daily living impairment were independent risk factors for PICC-related thrombosis in hospitalized patients with liver cancer(P<0.05).Catheter duration of 1-6 months and catheter duration>6 months were protective factors for PICC-related thrombosis(P<0.05).The predictive model for PICC-related thrombosis was obtained as follows:P predictive probability=[exp(Logit P)]/[1+exp(Logit P)],where Logit P=age×1.907+KPS score×2.045+parenteral nutrition×9.467+catheter duration×0.506+tumor-node-metastasis(TNM)staging×2.844+distant metastasis×2.065+bone marrow suppression×2.082+activities of daily living impairment×13.926.ROC curve analysis showed an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.827(95%CI:0.724-0.929,P<0.001),with a corresponding optimal cut-off value of 0.612,sensitivity of 0.755,and specificity of 0.857.Calibration curve analysis showed good consistency between the predicted occurrence of PICC-related thrombosis and actual occurrence(P>0.05).ROC analysis showed AUCs of 0.888 and 0.729 for the training and validation sets,respectively.CONCLUSION Age,KPS score,parenteral nutrition,TNM staging,distant metastasis,bone marrow suppression,and activities of daily living impairment are independent risk factors for PICC-related thrombosis in hospitalized patients with liver cancer,while catheter duration is a protective factor for the disease.The predictive model has an AUC of 0.827,indicating high predictive accuracy and clinical value.

文摘P_(c)(4457)has been discovered over five years,but the parity of this particle remains undetermined.We propose a new interpretation for P_(c)(4457),which is the state generated from the coupled-channel D^(0)Ac+(2595)andπ^(0)P_(c)(4312)since they can exchange an almost on-shell∑_(c)^(+).In this scenario,the parity of P_(c)(4457)will be positive,which is different from the candidate of the bound state of D*∑_(c).The main decay channel of P_(c)(4457)in this model is Pc(4312)π.We propose three processes∧_(b)^(0)→J/ψKapπ^(-),∧_(b)^(0)→J/ψK-pπ^(0),and∧_(b)^(0)→J/ψpπ^(-)π^(+)k^(-)to verify Pc(4457)→Pc(4312)π.

文摘We propose an ansatz without adjustable parameters for the calculation of a dynamical structure factor.The ansatz combines the quasi-particle Green’s function,especially the contribution from the renormalization factor,and the exchange-correlation kernel from time-dependent density functional theory together,verified for typical metals and semiconductors from a plasmon excitation regime to the Compton scattering regime.It has the capability to reconcile both small-angle and large-angle inelastic x-ray scattering(IXS)signals with muchimproved accuracy,which can be used as the theoretical base model,in inversely inferring electronic structures of condensed matter from IXS experimental signals directly.It may also be used to diagnose thermal parameters,such as temperature and density,of dense plasmas in x-ray Thomson scattering experiments.
文摘Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption(CP-ABE) is widely employed for secure data sharing and access control. However, its dependence on a single authority introduces security and performance challenges. Despite the existence of multi-authority CPABE approaches, persistent issues such as single points of failure and high computation cost on the user side remain. This study proposes a novel solution named blockchain-based and decentralized attribute-based encryption(BDAE) for data sharing. BDAE enhances traditional scheme by integrating blockchain and distributed key generation technology. The scheme employs an(n, t) threshold secret sharing algorithm, coupled with the Pedersen verifiable secret sharing method, for attribute key generation. This combination ensures key credibility,facilitates joint attribute management, and addresses single bottleneck and key verification issues. Integrated into a blockchain system, the scheme utilizes smart contracts for fine-grained access control and outsourced computing. Blockchain's decentralization and access logs make data sharing tamper-resistant and auditable. Moreover, simulation comparisons demonstrate that the scheme effectively reduces decryption overhead on the user side, meeting practical application requirements.
文摘In traditional secret image sharing schemes,a secret image is shared among shareholders who have the same position.But if the shareholders have two different positions,essential and non‐essential,it is necessary to use essential secret image sharing schemes.In this article,a verifiable essential secret image sharing scheme based on HLRs is proposed.Shareholder's share consists of two parts.The first part is produced by the shareholders,which prevents the fraud of dealers.The second part is a shadow image that is produced by using HLRs and the first part of share.The verification of the first part of the shares is done for the first time by using multilinear and bilinear maps.Also,for verifying shadow images,Bloom Filters are used for the first time.The proposed scheme is more efficient than similar schemes,and for the first part of the shares,has formal security.

文摘To prevent server compromise attack and password guessing attacks,an improved and efficient verifier-based key exchange protocol for three-party is proposed,which enables two clients to agree on a common session key with the help of the server.In this protocol,the client stores a plaintext version of the password,while the server stores a verifier for the password.And the protocol uses verifiers to authenticate between clients and the server.The security analysis and performance comparison of the proposed protocol shows that the protocol can resist many familiar attacks including password guessing attacks,server compromise attacks,man-in-the-middle attacks and Denning-Sacco attacks,and it is more efficient.

文摘We present a new hybrid numerical scheme for two-dimensional(2D)ideal magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)equations.A simple conservation element and solution element(CESE)method is used to calculate the flow variables,and the unknown first-order spatial derivatives involved in the CESE method are computed with a finite volume scheme that uses the solution of the derivative Riemann problem with limited reconstruction to evaluate the numerical flux at cell interface position.To show the validation and capacity of its application to 2D MHD problems,we study several benchmark problems.Numerical results verify that the hybrid scheme not only performs well,but also can retain the solution quality even if the Courant number ranges from close to 1 to less than 0.01.
