In the process of social network data collection and release, privacy information leakage often takes place so that social network privacy protection has aroused people’s concern. In order to solve the problem of significant data loss and poor availability of data in a single mode of social network privacy preserving method ,a k-isomorphism and locally randomized method of privacy preserving is proposed, which included the optimized k-isomorphism method and locally randomized method. The experimental results show that the proposed method in this paper could effectively resist information loss, and has good performance in measurement of harmonic mean of the shortest distance and sub-graph centrality of information within graph. It can protect user’s privacy information effectively and improve the usability of data issued, and also can effectively resist recognition attack from attacker based on background knowledge of graph structure.

Principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to image hashing algorithm and a perceptual hashing algorithm based on characteristic distance is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, a secondary image suitable for data dimension reduction is first constructed from the normalized image. Then, PCA is used to process secondary image, and the distance between PCA features is finally exploited to form image hash. Experimental results illustrate that classification performance of the proposed algorithm measured with receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve is better than those of three existing hashing algorithms. Copy detection under a large-scale image database shows that the proposed algorithm has good performance in detecting image copies.

HUANG Hengjie, GONG Xiaolong, WANG Gaocai
Journal of Guangxi Normal University(Natural Science Edition). 2016, 34 (4):  19-25.  DOI: 10.16088/j.issn.1001-6600.2016.04.003

To solve the problem that existing area coverage control algorithms for the mobile WSNs are difficult to ensure the network connectivity rate of the network coverage and energy consumption optimization, an area coverage control algorithm based on connected dominating set (ACCBCDS) algorithm is proposed for the mobile WSNs. When the nodes are randomly distributed in the monitoring area, nodes disconnected to the Sink node are required to move toward the Sink node until full network connectivity is achieved. Then the three-staining method is adopted to construct the network connected dominating set, after which the Sink node performs centralized optimization adjustment on dominated nodes, requiring dominated nodes to move toward better locations. During the adjustment, network coverage rate, connectivity rate and node movement distance are synthetically considered. Simulation results show that compared with typical area coverage control algorithm based on virtual forces (ACCBVF) algorithm, the proposed ACCBCDS can achieve higher network coverage rate under the premise of ensuring full network connectivity, and decrease node movement energy consumption during network coverage control.

Using Bi(NO3)3·5H2O and Na2WO3·2H2O as raw materials, Bi2WO6 was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as the chelating agent. The properties of the as-prepared samples were investigated by XRD, SEM, Raman and UV-vis DRS tests. The as-prepared products were used to photodegrade tannery wastewater. The effects of dosage of Bi2WO6 photocatalyst, air flow rate, pH of wastewater, H2O2 dosage and the illumination intensity on the wastewater degradation were investigated in detail. The results showed that highly crystallinity square flower-like Bi2WO6 with its band gap of 2.696 eV could be obtained via a hydrothermal route assisted by EDTA. The Bi2WO6 could effectively degrade the hardly-degraded organic pollutants, and the CODcr removal rate increased significantly. The optimum conditions of treatment of tannery wastewater were natural pH value, Bi2WO6 of 2 g/L, H2O2 of 2%, amount of air of mid-range, distance of light liquid light of 11 cm, reaction time of 3.0 h. Under the optimal conditions, the decolorization rate and CODcr removal rate were 91.5% and 92.6%. The dynamic behavior of Bi2WO6 photocatalyst degrading the molasses fermentation wastewater agrees with the first-order rate dynamic equation.

Considering the influence of external noise input and network induced delay, the H guaranteed cost control of networked control systems is studied. Based on the network transmission environment, the networked control system with time-vary and delay is modeled as a kind of closed loop discrete system with time varying parameters. Then, using the Lyapunov theory, the conditions for the existence of guaranteed performance indexes of H are derived. Based on the principle of linear matrix inequality (LMI), the design method of guaranteed cost controller H is proposed. Finally, the simulation results show that the guaranteed cost controller H can effectively improve the robustness of the network control system, and can maintain the performance index of the system. The validity and feasibility of this method are then proved.

As the existing cell images segmentation algorithms are sensitive to noise and traditional SLIC(simple linear iterative clustering) algorithm can not divide boundary precisely, an improved SLIC method based on region merging is proposed to resolve the problems. First, the mean shift treatment is used to eliminate noise on the cervical cell images, then the two-dimensional otsu adaptive threshold processing is conducted to abtain the initial contour, then based on SLIC algorithm the superpixel region is obtained, and the superpixel regions are fused to the original image to complete the initial segmentation. Finally, in the initial segmentation map, the initial mark is used to obtain the mutual information, and the maximum similarity criterion is used to merge. In this way, no present threshold is needned. The non-marker background regions are merged with labeled automatically, while the non-marker object regions are identified and avoided from being merged with background. Several experiments of dividing the cytoplasm are conducted for cervical cells images. The proposed algorithm can extract cytoplasm from a single-cell cervical smear image more accurately in a relatively short time.

Polyimide has excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and chemical stability. Although its porous film is one of the best lithium-ion battery separators, the porous polyimide film prepared by removing CaCO3 particles (as pore-foaming agent) out from polyimide/ CaCO3 composite was brittle. In order to explore the reasons for its poor mechanical properties, the polyimide/ CaCO3 composite materials and the related porous polyimide materials were characterized by XRD and IR spectroscopy. The results showed that:the pore-foaming agent CaCO3 particles could be removed selectively from the polyimide/ CaCO3 composite materials by 1:1 hydrochloric acid. The imidization extent of polyimide materials was only 80% when CaCO3 particles were added as pore-foaming agent.

Most previously studies on chronic smokers are transversal studies based on task paradigm. In this study, longitudinal studies of regional brain activity alterations between smoking and quitting smoking for some time in resting state are carried. Twelve healthy chronic smokers participated in this study and were imaged with resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in two stages, i.e., under smoking and after quitting smoking for one week. Then regional homogeneity (ReHo) method was used to conduct a comparative analysis of the statistics of the two stages. Compared with those in smoking state, smokers who had quitted smoking for one week showed decreased level of ReHo in frontal lobe (orbital, medial, middle), left precuneus, left posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), left cuneus, and right supplementary motor area, as well as increased level of ReHo in bilateral superior temporal gyrus, left calcarine, left lingual gyrus, left fusiform gyrus, left parahippocampa gyrus, right postcentral gyrus, and left putamen. The results indicate that coherence of neural activities have been altered in the above brain regions after quitting smoking for one week among the chronic smokers, which offers references for the application of ReHo in smoking cessation therapy.

Knowing the changes of ecological landscape in lake areas of arid region is of particular importance to monitor land use change and adjust land use strategies. The current study focuses on Ebinur Lake region, Xinjiang, which suffers from severe salinization and desertification in recent years, to generate land use changing maps using Landsat-TM multispectral images of 1990, 2001 and 2011. Three commonly used classification approaches were compared, i.e., Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC), Decision Tree Classification (DTC), and Support Vector Machine (SVM), to generate landscape metrics for stndying the landscape change during the past two decades in Ebinur Lake area. Three findings emerge from the study. First, among the three classification approaches, SVM produces the most accurate classification. For the year of 1990, 2001, and 2011, the classification accuracy rates are 97.312 3%, 97.778 2%, and 95.082 1%, respectively, Kappa coefficients are 0.963 2, 0.884 2, and 0.918 7, respectively. Second, for the past two decades, salinized and desertified lands are increasing drastically (salinized land increased 374.471 4 km2), along with increased cultivated land. While forest, grassland, water body and other land use types decrease in the same period, with grassland lost over 366.868 8 km2. Third, there is a significant landscape difference among different periods. In general, calculated landscape metrics such as landscape density, maximum patch index, isolation index, Shannon diversity index and Shannon evenness index are increasing during the two decades. On the other hand, area weighted index, mean patch distance index, contagion index, interspersion juxtaposition index and patch cohesion index are decreasing. It seems that the landscape of study area becomes more fragmented during the study period, which leads to relatively higher diversity, and more even distribution of various land use types. Our study results also suggest that the current landscape distribution is relatively stable and even. However, the increasing salinization and desertification of land due to increased human activities (cultivation) requires close monitoring and constant evaluation.
