3D topology control in underwater sensor networks is of great significance to ensuring reliable and efficient operation of the network. In this paper, by analyzing the characteristics of an underwater sensor network, we take the cube as the basic unit to perform 3D partition of the monitoring area, define the 3D partition unit and basic cluster structure of the underwater sensor network, and arrange rotating temporary control nodes in the cluster. Then, a cluster sleep-wake scheduling algorithm is proposed that compares the remaining node energy. It selects the node with the largest remaining energy as the working node, and the remaining nodes complete the transition of dormancy and waiting states as long as they reach the preset dormancy time. The node state settings of this phase are completed by the temporary control node. Temporary control nodes selecting and sleep-wake scheduling are used in the algorithm through 3D topology control, which reduces energy consumption and guarantees maximum sensing coverage of the entire network and the connection rate of active nodes. Simulation results further verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Co-firing biomass under oxy-fuel condition is one of the most attractive methods which is conducive to mitigating CO 2 emissions by combining the advantages of these two respective technologies. The combustion characteristics of a wall-fired utility boiler operating in this mode have been seldom investigated. The burnout behavior of the blended fuel is still controversial. By using the newly proposed combustion mechanisms, a numerical study was carried out in a 600 MW wall-fired boiler to evaluate the influences of oxy-fuel working condition and biomass share on flow, temperature, O 2 distributions, and burnout behavior in this combustion mode. Besides, the effect of biomass injection position was also explored, which has yet to be fully understood. The simulation results show that oxy-fuel working condition affected the combustion characteristics to some extent. The introduction of biomass led to a lower temperature but a better burnout within the furnace. O 2 distribution was also correlated to the biomass share due to the difference in fuel properties. The injection position of biomass presented crucial impacts on particle trajectories, temperature distribution, and O 2 distribution. In addition, due to the increase in residence time and the reduction in trapped particles, an enhanced burnout could be achieved as the biomass inlet was moved down.
Today, with the continuous promotion and development of IoT and 5G technology, Cyberspace has become an important pillar of economic and social development, and also a foundational domain of national security. Cyberspace security is attracting more and more attention. Therefore, detecting malware and its variants is of great significance to Cyberspace. However, the increasing sophistication of malicious variants, such as encryption, polymorphism and obfuscation, makes it more difficult to identified malware effectively. In this paper, a malware detection method of code texture visualization based on an improved Faster RCNN (Region-Convolutional Neural Networks) combining transfer learning is proposed. We utilize visualization technology to map malicious code into corresponding images with typical texture features, and realize the classification of malware. Firstly, in order to quickly acquire and locate the representative texture of malware, we adopt CNN to extract the global and deeper features of malicious code images. Then with RPN (Region Proposal Network) we generate the target image frame, which is used to locate the core texture of malware file (.text file), to realize the accurate positioning of malicious features. Secondly, we preprocess and train Faster RCNN model with ImageNet set, and then transfer the model to the malware classification model to accelerate the convergence of the first model and promote generation performance. Thirdly, we construct an improved objective function in which a novel multi-label of classification proportion is added to solve the problem that the texture change of ".text" section and other sections in malicious code image is not obvious after transfer learning. We collect code samples of six malware families from Kaggle platform, and compared the experimental results before and after transfer. The results show that the novel method can accelerate the convergence of loss function, and obtain higher accuracy (92.8%), lower FPR (6.8%) and better P-R (precision-recall) curve.
