Transferring layer in traditional user datagram protocol is implemented by publishing and subscribing scheme of message middleware. By creating message model to standardize message structure,integration architecture is formulated to resolve potential information security risks from inconsistent data type and express data transmission. Meanwhile,a communication model is put forward based on AMQP,which is in the center position of the whole transmission framework and responsible for reliably transferring battlefield data among subsystems. Experiments show that the method can accurately post amounts of data to the subscriber without error and loss,and can get excellent real-time performance of data exchange.展开更多

LAS services involve requests and responses concerning public and private cadastral data, including credentials of parties, ownership, and spatial parcels. This study explores the integration of CTI in LAS to enhance cyber resilience, focusing on the unique vulnerabilities of LAS, such as sensitive data management and interconnection with other critical systems related to spatial data uses and changes. The approach employs a case study of a typical country-specific LAS to analyse structured vulnerabilities and their attributes to determine the degree of vulnerability of LAS through a quantitative inductive approach. The analysis results indicate significant improvements in identifying and mitigating potential threats through CTI integration, thus enhancing cyber resilience. These findings are crucial for policymakers and practitioners to develop robust cybersecurity strategies for LAS.展开更多

However, when they are used for infrared image segmentation, they are weak in suppressing background noises and worse in segmenting targets with non-uniform gray level. The concept of 2D histogram shape modification is proposed, which is realized by target information prior restraint after enhancing target information using plateau histogram equalization. The formula of 2D minimum Renyi entropy is deduced for image segmentation, then the shape-modified 2D histogram is combined wfth four optimal objective functions （i.e., maximum between-class variance, maximum entropy, maximum correlation and minimum Renyi entropy） respectively for the appli- cation of infrared image segmentation. Simultaneously, F-measure is introduced to evaluate the segmentation effects objectively. The experimental results show that F-measure is an effective evaluation index for image segmentation since its value is fully consistent with the subjective evaluation, and after 2D histogram shape modification, the methods of optimal objective functions can overcome their original forms＇ deficiency and their segmentation effects are more or less improvements, where the best one is the maximum entropy method based on 2D histogram shape modification.展开更多

文摘Background Military service members routinely participate in combatives training(boxing,judo,martial arts,and hand-to-hand combat)to acquire and maintain mission essential skills.Despite injury mitigation strategies,high concussion incidence rates of 20.8 concussions per 100 exposures while participating in combative sports have been reported.The purpose of this study was to identify factors potentially associated with greater odds of sustaining a concussion in these combative activities in a military training environment.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted with participants enrolled at 4 military service academies participating in the concussion assessment,research,and education consortium from 2014 to 2020.Demographic information(site,varsity status,sport contact level,sex,concussion history,and headache history)and pre-injury baseline assessments(e.g.,Balance Error Scoring System(BESS),Brief Symptom Inventory(BSI))were collected at the time of enrollment.Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds of sustaining a concussion while participating in combatives training during the follow-up period based on these pre-injury characteristics.Results During the study period,17,681 participants(25%female;19.11±1.45 years(mean±SD))completed a baseline assessment and 484(35%female;19.88±1.43 years)sustained a concussion during a combatives training.Univariate logistic regression models revealed females(odds ratio(OR)=1.71;p<0.001;95%confidence interval(95%CI):1.41–2.07),participating in high contact varsity sports(OR=0.52;p<0.001;95%CI:0.38–0.71),BSI total score(OR=1.03;p<0.001;95%CI:1.01–1.04),BESS total score(OR=1.02;p<0.001;95%CI:1.02–1.04),and headache history(OR=1.43;p<0.001;95%CI:1.18–1.73)were associated with greater odds of sustaining a combatives-related concussion.Multivariable models yielded similar results after controlling for significant covariates.Conclusion Females,higher BSI and BESS total scores at baseline,and participants with a history of headaches had greater odds of sustaining a combatives-related concussion during the follow-up period.Conversely,participants in high contact varsity sports had lower odds of sustaining a combatives-related concussion.These different variables should be taken into account when designing combatives training programs in a military setting.

文摘The function of the air target threat evaluation(TE)is the foundation for weapons allocation and senor resources management within the surface air defense.The multi-attribute evaluation methodology is utilized to address the issue of the TE in which the tactic features of the detected target are treated as evaluation attributes.Meanwhile,the intuitionistic fuzzy set(IFS)is employed to deal with information uncertainty in the TE process.Furthermore,on the basis of the entropy weight and inclusion-comparison probability,a hybrid TE method is developed.In order to accommodate the demands of naturalistic decision making,the proposed method allows air defense commanders to express their intuitive opinions besides incorporating into the threat features of the detected target.An illustrative example is provided to indicate the feasibility and advantage of the proposed method.
文摘Aiming at the problem on cooperative air-defense of surface warship formation, this paper maps the cooperative airdefense system of systems （SoS） for surface warship formation （CASoSSWF） to the biological immune system （BIS） according to the similarity of the defense mechanism and characteristics between the CASoSSWF and the BIS, and then designs the models of components and the architecture for a monitoring agent, a regulating agent, a killer agent, a pre-warning agent and a communicating agent by making use of the theories and methods of the artificial immune system, the multi-agent system （MAS）, the vaccine and the danger theory （DT）. Moreover a new immune multi-agent model using vaccine based on DT （IMMUVBDT） for the cooperative air-defense SoS is advanced. The immune response and immune mechanism of the CASoSSWF are analyzed. The model has a capability of memory, evolution, commendable dynamic environment adaptability and self-learning, and embodies adequately the cooperative air-defense mechanism for the CASoSSWF. Therefore it shows a novel idea for the CASoSSWF which can provide conception models for a surface warship formation operation simulation system.

文摘In the methods of image thresholding segmentation, such methods based on two-dimensional （2D） histogram and optimal objective functions are important. However, when they are used for infrared image segmentation, they are weak in suppressing background noises and worse in segmenting targets with non-uniform gray level. The concept of 2D histogram shape modification is proposed, which is realized by target information prior restraint after enhancing target information using plateau histogram equalization. The formula of 2D minimum Renyi entropy is deduced for image segmentation, then the shape-modified 2D histogram is combined wfth four optimal objective functions （i.e., maximum between-class variance, maximum entropy, maximum correlation and minimum Renyi entropy） respectively for the appli- cation of infrared image segmentation. Simultaneously, F-measure is introduced to evaluate the segmentation effects objectively. The experimental results show that F-measure is an effective evaluation index for image segmentation since its value is fully consistent with the subjective evaluation, and after 2D histogram shape modification, the methods of optimal objective functions can overcome their original forms＇ deficiency and their segmentation effects are more or less improvements, where the best one is the maximum entropy method based on 2D histogram shape modification.

文摘Paris law can reflect the failure mechanism of materials and is usually used to be a method to predict fatigue life or residual fatigue life.But the variable which can represent the health of machine is hardly measured on line.To a degree,the difficulty of on-line application restricts the scope of application of Paris law.The relationship between characteristic values of vibration signals and the variable in the Paris equation which can describe the health of machine is investigated by taking ball bearings as investigative objects.Based on 6205 deep groove ball bearings as a living example,historical lives and vibration signals are analyzed.The feasibility of describing that variable in the Paris equation by the characteristic value of vibration signals is inspected.After that vibration signals decomposed by empirical mode decomposition（EMD）,root mean square（RMS） of intrinsic mode function（IMF） involving fault characteristic frequency has a consistent trend with the diameter of flaws.Based on the trend,two improved Paris models are proposed and the scope of application of them is inspected.These two Paris Models are validated by fatigue residual life data from tests of rolling element bearings and vibration signals monitored in the process of operation of rolling element bearings.It shows that the first improved Paris Model is simple and plain and it can be easily applied in actual conditions.The trend of the fatigue residual life predicted by the second improved Paris model is close to the actual conditions and the result of the prediction is slightly greater than the truth.In conclusion,after the appearance of detectable faults,these improved models based on RMS can predict residual fatigue life on line and a new approach to predict residual fatigue life of ball bearings on line without disturbing the machine running is provided.
文摘WTA （weapon-target allocation） of air defense operation is a very complicated problem and current models focus on static and restricted WTA problem mostly. Based on the dynamic characteristics of air defense operational command and decision of warships＇ formation, a dynamic WTA model is established. Simulation results show that switch fire and repetition fire of anti-air weapon system affect the result of the air defense operation remarkably and the dynamic model is more satisfying than static ones. Related results are gained based on the analysis of the simulation results and the results are accordant with the intuitionistic tactical judgment. The model is some reference for the research of air defense C^3I system of warships＇ formation.

文摘According to the requirements of real-time performance and reliability in underwater maneuvering target tracking as well as clarifying motion features of the underwater target, an interacting multiple model algorithm based on fuzzy logic inference （FIMM） is proposed. Maneuvering patterns of the target are represented by model sets, including the constant velocity model （CA）, the Singer mode~, and the nearly constant speed horizontal-turn model （HT） in FIMM technology. The simulation results show that compared to conventional IMM, the reliability and real-time performance of underwater target tracking can be improved by FIMM algorithm.
