Abstract: A dynamic network resource allocation method based on network slicing is provided. A historical resource demand dataset of an accessed network slice is inputted into a first neural network for training. Based on a trained first neural network and the historical resource demand of the accessed network slice, a resource demand prediction information corresponding to the accessed network slice in a first prediction time period is determined. Resources are pre-allocated to the accessed network slice based on the resource demand prediction information, and resources are allocated to the accessed network slice when the first prediction time period arrives. In this way, the service provider can reasonably allocate network resources for network slices without violating the SLA, thus avoiding the waste of network resources.

Abstract: In an approach for building file server arrays with stable and unstable nodes for enhanced pipeline transmission, a processor builds an array from a plurality of stable nodes, wherein each stable node of the plurality of stable nodes is linked to two other stable nodes of the plurality of stable nodes forming a line. A processor divides a plurality of unstable nodes into one or more groups of unstable nodes. A processor links each group of unstable nodes to two neighboring stable nodes within the array. A processor sends data through the array and the one or more groups of unstable nodes in two opposite directions. A processor monitors a node status for each node of the plurality of stable nodes and the plurality of unstable nodes.

Abstract: A network emulation system supporting a flexible and efficient dynamic experiment emulates a network based on container, veth-pair, traffic control (TC), and other technologies and sets a network state management model based on a key-value pair, thereby constructing a network emulation system supporting a flexible and efficient dynamic experiment. The system flexibly realizes the dynamic performance of a plurality of dimensions, namely, dynamic node start/stop, dynamic node attribute configuration, dynamic link start/stop, and dynamic link attribute configuration. Based on the network state management model, the network emulation system provides a concise and unified dynamic application programming interface (API) for an upper layer. Researchers can call the API in their network innovation programs at any time after an emulation network is deployed to achieve efficient, batch-processing, and programmable dynamic management.

Abstract: Highly porous nucleophilic organic cages (Nu-POC) were in-situ synthesized on cotton fibers by a condensation reaction between cyanuric chloride and melamine, and the products were employed as a robust wearable and flexible detoxifying protective material (denoted as POCotton) for vaporous pesticides. The covalent growth of Nu-POC particles on surfaces of cotton fibers retained the physical characteristics of Nu-POC to the greatest extend, which include specific surface area and porosity, while the cotton fabrics still remained wearable. The resultant POCotton can repeatedly adsorb fumigant vapors instantly (i.e., equilibrium reached within one minute) and massively (i.e., adsorption capacity at 596.88 mg/g of methyl iodide).

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for protecting API KEYs for accessing services in a cloud environment are disclosed. A first request for generating a virtual key for a user in an organization to access a service in a cloud environment is received. The first request includes information of the organization, an identity of the user, and information of the service. A first authentication request is sent to an identity provider of the organization based on the information of the organization and the identity of the user. In response to the first authentication being successful, an API key for the organization to access the service is determined. The virtual key for the user to access the service is generated based on the API key, the information of the organization, and the identity of the user. The virtual key is returned as a response of the first request.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for reducing a flicker effect of multiple light sources in an image captured with an imaging device. A lighting frequency associated with each of the multiple light sources is detected and prioritized relative to a flicker effect upon the image to identify at least a first-prioritized lighting frequency and a second-prioritized lighting frequency. A first exposure-time factorization set is determined for the first-prioritized lighting frequency, and a second exposure-time factorization set is determined for the second-prioritized lighting frequency. An exposure time of the imaging device is adjusted to an exposure time identified in the first exposure-time factorization set that matches, or aligns near-to-matching, an exposure time identified in the second exposure-time factorization set.
