In this paper, the IEG during the leveling process of an oval anode workpiece in counter-rotating ECM(CRECM)is investigated. The variation of the minimum IEG is analyzed theoretically, and the results indicate that rather than reaching equilibrium, the minimum IEG in CRECM expands constantly when a constant feed speed is used for the cathode tool. This IEG expansion leads to a poor localization effect and has an adverse influence on the roundness of the machined workpiece. To maintain a small constant IEG in CRECM, a variable feed speed is used for the cathode based on a fitted equation. The theoretical results show that the minimum IEG can be controlled at a small value by using an accelerated feed speed. Experiments have been conducted using a specific experimental apparatus in which the cathode tool is designed as a combined structure of two sectors and a thin sheet. By detecting the machining currents flowing through the minimum IEG, how the latter varies is obtained indirectly. The results indicate that using an accelerated feed speed is effective for controlling the IEG, thereby improving the roundness of the machined workpiece.展开更多

This comprehensive analysis examines the evolving cybersecurity landscape in Cameroon from 2020 to 2023, during which cyber-attacks increased by 156% and financial losses from digital fraud exceeded $45 million. This research identifies significant vulnerabilities in Cameroon’s cybersecurity ecosystem through a rigorous assessment of national infrastructure, policy frameworks, and institutional capacities. Recent data indicates that while digital service adoption has grown exponentially, with internet penetration reaching 35.2% in 2023, cybersecurity measures have lagged significantly behind international standards. This analysis draws on comprehensive data from multiple sectors, including financial services, government institutions, and telecommunications, incorporating findings from the National Cybersecurity Assessment Program and the Digital Infrastructure Security Report. The research reveals that 73% of organizations lack dedicated security teams, while response times to cyber incidents average 72 hours—three times than the global standard. Based on these findings, this paper proposes evidence-based solutions for enhancing digital resilience, including policy modernization, capacity-building initiatives, and technical infrastructure development. The recommendations encompass short-term tactical responses, medium-term strategic improvements, and long-term structural changes, providing a comprehensive roadmap for strengthening Cameroon’s national cybersecurity frameworks.展开更多
