Web command injection attacks pose significant security threats to web applications, leading to potential server information leakage or severe server disruption. Traditional detection methods struggle with the increasing complexity and obfuscation of these attacks, resulting in poor identification of malicious code, complicated feature extraction processes, and low detection efficiency. To address these challenges, a novel detection model, the Convolutional Channel-BiLSTM Attention (CCBA) model, is proposed, leveraging deep learning techniques to enhance the identification of web command injection attacks. The model utilizes dual CNN convolutional channels for comprehensive feature extraction and employs a BiLSTM network for bidirectional recognition of temporal features. An attention mechanism is also incorporated to assign weights to critical features, improving the model’s detection performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the CCBA model achieves 99.3% accuracy and 98.2% recall on a real-world dataset. To validate the robustness and generalization of the model, tests were conducted on two widely recognized public cybersecurity datasets, consistently achieving over 98% accuracy. Compared to existing methods, the proposed model offers a more effective solution for identifying web command injection attacks.

In order to control the adverse effect of vehicles overloading infrastructure and traffic safety, weight-in-motion (WIM)-related research has drawn growing attention. To address the high cost of current piezoelectric sensors in installation and maintenance, a study on developing a low-cost piezoceramic sensing system is presented in this paper. The proposed system features distributed monitoring and integrated packaging, for calculating vehicle’s dynamic load and its wheel position. Results from the laboratory tests show that the total output of the sensing system increases linearly with the increase of the peak load when the loading amplitude is 5–25 kN (equivalent to the half-axis load of 20–100 kN); when the loading frequency is between 15 Hz and 19 Hz (equivalent to a speed of 17.8–23.2 km/h), the total output of the system fluctuates around a value of 1.305 V. Combined with finite-element simulation, the system can locate load lateral position with a resolution of 120 mm. Due to the protection packaging, the peak load transferred to the sensing units is approximately 4.36% of the applied peak load. The study indicates the proposed system can provide a promising low-cost, reliable and practical alternative for current WIM systems.

Objective We aimed to investigate the relationship between the visceral to subcutaneous fat area ratio (V/S ratio) and incidence of early postoperative small bowel obstruction (EPSBO) following total gastrectomy for cardia cancer. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis among patients with cardia cancer who underwent elective total gastrectomy with esophagojejunostomy Roux-en-Y anastomosis at Nanjing Yimin Hospital between November 2019 and April 2024. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors were meticulously monitored. The V/S ratio was calculated using computed tomography scans at the umbilical level with Slice-O-Matic software (Tomovision, Montreal, Canada). Statistical analyses included logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results Among 175 patients, 27 (15.4%) developed EPSBO. The V/S ratio was significantly higher in the EPSBO group (1.76 ± 1.05 vs. 1.01 ± 0.54). Logistic regression identified the V/S ratio as a significant predictor of EPSBO (odds ratio [OR] = 1.612, 95% [CI]: 1.102–1.605). ROC curve analysis demonstrated high sensitivity (92%) and specificity (100%) for the V/S ratio in predicting EPSBO, with a 0.83 AUC. Conclusions Our findings indicated a higher V/S ratio was a significant predictor of EPSBO following total gastrectomy for cardia cancer. Preoperative assessment of the V/S ratio can inform risk stratification and guide targeted interventions to improve postoperative outcomes.

Weighing-In-Motion (WIM) technology is one of the main tools for pavement management. It can accurately describe the traffic situation on the road and minimize overload problems. WIM sensors are the core elements of the WIM system. The excellent basic performance of WIMs sensor and its ability to maintain a stable output under different temperature environments are critical to the entire process of WIM. In this study, a WIM sensor was developed, which adopted a PZT-5H piezoelectric ceramic and integrated a temperature probe into the sensor. The designed WIM sensor has the advantages of having a small size, simple structure, high sensitivity, and low cost. A sine loading test was designed to test the basic performance of the piezoelectric sensor by using amplitude scanning and frequency scanning. The test results indicated that the piezoelectric sensor exhibits a clear linear relationship between input load and output voltage under constant environmental temperature. The linear correlation coefficient R2 of the fitting line is up to 0.999, and the sensitivity is 4.04858 mV/N at a loading frequency of 2 Hz at room temperature. The sensor has good frequency-independent characteristics. However, the temperature has a significant impact on it. Therefore, the output performance of the piezoelectric ceramic sensor is stabilized under different temperature conditions by using a multivariate nonlinear fitting algorithm for temperature compensation. The fitting result R2 is 0.9686, the root mean square error (RMSE) is 0.2497, and temperature correction was achieved. This study has significant implications for the application of piezoelectric ceramic sensors in road WIM systems.

Piezoelectric ceramics have good electromechanical coupling characteristics and a high sensitivity to load. One typical engineering application of piezoelectric ceramic is its use as a signal source for Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems in road traffic monitoring. However, piezoelectric ceramics are also sensitive to temperature, which affects their measurement accuracy. In this study, a new piezoelectric ceramic WIM sensor was developed. The output signals of sensors under different loads and temperatures were obtained. The results were corrected using polynomial regression and a Genetic Algorithm Back Propagation (GA-BP) neural network algorithm, respectively. The results show that the GA-BP neural network algorithm had a better effect on sensor temperature compensation. Before and after GA-BP compensation, the maximum relative error decreased from about 30% to less than 4%. The sensitivity coefficient of the sensor reduced from 1.0192 × 10−2/°C to 1.896 × 10−4/°C. The results show that the GA-BP algorithm greatly reduced the influence of temperature on the piezoelectric ceramic sensor and improved its temperature stability and accuracy, which helped improve the efficiency of clean-energy harvesting and conversion.

Road power generation technology is of significance for constructing smart roads. With a high electromechanical conversion rate and high bearing capacity, the stack piezoelectric transducer is one of the most used structures in road energy harvesting to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. To further improve the energy generation efficiency of this type of piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH), this study theoretically and experimentally investigated the influences of connection mode, number of stack layers, ratio of height to cross-sectional area and number of units on the power generation performance. Two types of PEHs were designed and verified using a laboratory accelerated pavement testing system. The findings of this study can guide the structural optimization of PEHs to meet different purposes of sensing or energy harvesting.

In actual driving scenes, recognizing and preventing drivers’ non-standard driving behavior is helpful in reducing traffic accidents. To resolve the problems of various driving behaviors, a large range of action, and the low recognition accuracy of traditional detection methods, in this paper, a driving behavior recognition algorithm was proposed that combines an attention mechanism and lightweight network. The attention module was integrated into the YOLOV4 model after improving the feature extraction network, and the structure of the attention module was also improved. According to the 20,000 images of the Kaggle dataset, 10 typical driving behaviors were analyzed, processed, and recognized. The comparison and ablation experimental results showed that the fusion of an improved attention mechanism and lightweight network model had good performance in accuracy, model size, and FLOPs.

Hypertension is a critical comorbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus that significantly increases cardiovascular risk. Although several predictive models have been developed using conventional logistic regression or basic machine learning algorithms, these approaches often face significant limitations. Many existing models suffer from a lack of external validation which limits their generalizability, or they operate as black boxes without providing interpretable clinical insights. Furthermore, most prior studies have focused exclusively on biological indicators while overlooking the potential impact of socioeconomic determinants and lifestyle factors on disease progression. To address these gaps, this study aimed to develop a high-performance Random Forest model for predicting hypertension risk in diabetic patients by integrating multidimensional data, including clinical metrics, lifestyle habits, and socioeconomic status. The study further sought to validate the model's robustness using an independent external cohort and assess its clinical utility through SHAP analysis, providing transparent interpretations of risk factors to guide personalized medical decision-making. A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted using electronic medical records from two tertiary hospitals. Eligible adults with type 2 diabetes and no prior hypertension were included. A total of 900 eligible patients were included, with 420, 180, and 300 participants in the training, testing, and external validation cohorts, respectively. Feature selection combined Boruta and LASSO methods, yielding seven predictors. Seven algorithms were tested, and model performance was assessed through cross-validation, independent testing, and external validation. The random forest model was explained using SHAP analysis. Among 900 participants, the random forest model achieved the best discrimination, with AUCs of 0.89 in internal testing and 0.83 in external validation. Calibration and decision curve analyses confirmed stability and clinical utility. Key predictors included alcohol consumption, triglycerides, diabetes duration, health insurance type, fasting blood glucose, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and exercise frequency. The validated random forest model effectively predicts hypertension in type 2 diabetes patients, integrating metabolic, behavioral, and socioeconomic factors. Its interpretability and robust performance support its potential use for early identification and personalized prevention of hypertension in clinical practice.
