The results suggest that: (1) the Younger Dryas event might have persisted in the area from 11 300 to 10 800 a B.P.; (2) from 9000 to 7000 a B.P., the climate got warmer and wetter, and the summer monsoon was gradually enhanced; (3) from 7000 to 4500 a B.P., the climate was warm and wet, and the summer monsoon prevailed; and (4) from 4500 a B.P. on, the summer monsoon was weakened and the modern climate pattern appeared, but there were several cold and dry periods, namely, from 4000 to 2500 a B.P., ca. 2400 a B.P. and < 1000 a B.P.展开更多

In light with the thickness of annual layers the authors reconstruct the climatic variation history of the last 2300 years in Beijing area.The climatic patterns seems to reappear irregularly on millennium to decade scales in the last 1000 years. The stable isotopic sequence interprets that the climate and environment in Beijing could be separated into two stages in the late Holocene: the monsoon was strong and the environment was wet in the former stage and in the latter stage the monsoon was weak and the environment was dry. The annual layers and oxygen isotope could be taken as natural signals and carbon isotope as a comprehensive signal containing the natural information and the information of anthropogenic activity.展开更多

It may not represent variation in air temperature or precipitation, but instead reflect integral changes of monsoon circulation, especially water vapor sources(the so-called "circulation effect"). Since large-scale atmospheric-oceanic modes such as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation(AMO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation(PDO), and North Atlantic Oscillation(NAO) exert significant effects on Asian monsoon, in this paper the authors investigate the relationships of the East Asian stalagmite δ18O record with these modes. The last three centuries form the focus of our study, for which the authors use reconstructed as well as instrumental data. Considering the impacts of human activity, our analysis is conducted with respect to two periods—the pre- and post-industrial periods. The results show significant lead-lag connections: a positive correlation peaks when the PDO leads East Asian stalagmite δ18O by 3 years, which is persistent over the past 300 years; while the relationships of the AMO and NAO with the East Asian stalagmite δ18O record show significant differences in the post-industrial relative to the pre-industrial period. This implies that the East Asian stalagmite δ18O record may primarily reflect the PDO signal.展开更多

In the scheme, a subset of original signers allows a designated group of proxy signers to sign on behalf of the original group. A message m has to be signed by a subset of proxy signers who can represent the proxy group. Then, the proxy signature is sent to the verifier group. A subset of verifiers in the verifier group can also represent the group to authenticate the proxy signature. In other words, some threshold values will be given to indicate the number of persons to represent a group to authorize the signing capability or to sign a message or to verify the proxy signature.展开更多

We first propose a multi-proxy signature scheme based on discrete logarithms and then adapt it to the elliptic curve cryptosystem. With the integration of self-certified public-key systems and the message recovery signature schemes,our proposed schemes have the following advan-tages:(1) They do not require the signing message to be transmitted,since the verifier can recover it from the signature;(2) The authentication of the public keys,verification of the signature,and recovery of the message can be simultaneously carried out in a single logical step;(3) No certificate is needed for validating the public keys. Further,the elliptic curve variant with short key lengths especially suits the cryptographic applications with limited computing power and storage space,e.g.,smart cards. As compared with the previous work that was implemented with the certificate-based public-key systems,the proposed schemes give better performance in terms of communication bandwidth and computation efforts.展开更多

In this paper,a new multi-proxy signature scheme is proposed. The new scheme is constructed from bilinear pairings using Boneh,Lynn,and Shacham’s (BLS) short signatures. The proxy key for the proxy group is just a short signature on the proxy warrant generated by the original signer. Due to the use of short signatures,our scheme is not only efficient,but also satisfies all the security requirements of the strong proxy signature.展开更多

The results show that the linear trend was 0.47℃（100 yr）^（-1）over 1871–2009,and the two most rapid warming intervals occurred in 1877–1938 and 1968–2007, at rates of 0.125℃（10 yr）^（-1）and 0.258℃（10 yr）^（-1）, respectively. The decadal variation shows that the temperature in the moderate warm interval of the 1910s–1930s was notably lower than that of the 1980s–2000s, which suggests that the warming since the 1980s was unprecedented for the past 160 years, though a warming hiatus existed in the 2000s. Additionally, there was a rapid cooling starting from the 1860s,followed by a cold interval until the early 1890s, with the coldest years in 1892 and 1893. A slight temperature decline was also found from the 1940s to the late 1960s. This study provides an independent case to validate the global warming for the past 160 years and its hiatus recently, because the proxy data are not affected by urbanization.展开更多
