The 13C isotope results after a distributed parameter process, specifically the chemical exchange process of the carbon dioxide and carbamate. The analytical solution that was determined in order to model the described process is simulated. The evolution of the proposed solution depends on two parameters: the position in the column height and the time. The reference model is simulated in order to reach to the desired concentration using an acceptable flow of solution. The tuning method for the PID controller is Ziegler-Nichols, based on the bipositional relay. The advantage obtained during this control process consists of the possibility of reaching the desired concentration of the 13C isotope at any point of height inside the separation column.","PeriodicalId":134487,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modeling and Optimization","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116573569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, identically with other in-vehicle bus protocol (e.g. CAN, LIN and MOST), their security are not considered in the origin of design. Therefore, security of FlexRay bus is directly related to human's privacy and life. In this paper, we proposed a security framework for FlexRay network. Considering the limitation of computing resources and the real-time performance of in-vehicle ECUs, we optimize the original MAC(Message Authentication) algorithm. To strength the security level and robutness of the system, we recommend to use ECC (Elliptic Curves Cryptography) encryption algorithm and dual channel model for our security framework. By using our proposed model, the bandwidth can be reduced 25% and the computational time can decrease evidently.","PeriodicalId":134487,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modeling and Optimization","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125838834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The independent web developers without the required resources to automatically test the functionality of their applications could successfully integrate solutions based on the presented approach into their practice.

The original single population needs to be divided into several subpopulations, and each subpopulation then tackles a corresponding performance index of the system. Under this proposed structure, several PID controllers can be simultaneously designed to meet different performance indexes when the algorithm is executed only one time. It is a great improvement because the general PSO algorithm with a single population can only deal with one performance index. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme, a complicated chemical nonlinear process called the continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is illustrated. Three different kinds of control operations are simulated including the step response control, set-point tracking control, and unstable equilibrium point control. For each control case five different performance indexes are assigned to guide the PID controller design combined with the nonlinear CSTR system. Simulation results will sufficiently confirm the superiority of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":134487,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modeling and Optimization","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130727326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Automotive ethernet can not only solve the problem of increased wiring harness and complicated wiring in the intelligentization of automotive electronics, but also can improve the comfort, reliability and multiple safety of the car. Although the car is connected to the smart phone, Bluetooth, Internet and other network systems to improve the driving pleasure for the driver, but it brings hacker attacks, security loopholes and other car network security problems that cannot be ignored, which seriously affects the safe driving of the car, personal privacy, and even endanger public safety.

An improved AES-128 encryption algorithm and an improved MD5 authentication algorithm are proposed innovatively. Through the experimental simulation of CANoe.Ethernet, the improved AES-128 encryption algorithm proposed in this paper is 15% more efficient than the traditional encryption algorithm, and the improved MD5 authentication algorithm is 4 times faster than the traditional authentication algorithm.
