With comparable short-term and long-term effects on overall survival and tumor recurrence rate and with a shorter operative time, less blood loss, and a shorter hospital stay, RFA should be considered as the first choice for the treatment for very early HCCs as it presents an efficacious and economic option.

Currently, various attention-based neural networks have achieved successes in sentiment classification tasks, as attention mechanism is capable of focusing on those words contributing more to the sentiment polarity prediction than others. However, the major drawback of these approaches is that they only pay attention to the words, the sentimental information contained in the part-of-speech(POS) is ignored. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose Part-of-Speech based Transformer Attention Network(pos-TAN). This model not only uses the Self-Attention mechanism to learn the feature expression of the text but also incorporates the POS-Attention, which uses to capture sentimental information contained in part-of-speech. In addition, our innovative introduction of the Focal Loss effectively alleviates the impact of sample imbalance on model performance. We conduct substantial experiments on various datasets, and the encouraging results indicate the efficacy of our proposed approach.

As the next-generation power grid system, the smart grid can realize the balance of supply and demand and help in communication security and privacy protection. However, real-time power consumption data collection might expose the users’ privacy information, such as their living habits and economic conditions. In addition, during the process of data transmission, it may lead to data inconsistency between the user side and the storage side. Blockchain provides tamper-resistant and traceable characteristics for solving these problems, and ring signature schemes provide an anonymous authentication mechanism. Therefore, in this work, we consider the applications of ring signature scheme in smart grid based on blockchain. We introduce the notion of multi-authority traceable ring signature (MA-TRS) scheme for distributed setting. In our scheme, there is an auditing node that can distinguish the identity of the real signer from the ring without any secret information. Last but not least, we prove that the proposed scheme is unforgeable, anonymous, and traceable.

With the rapid development of network applications, the issues of Network transmission security become very important. Therefore, SSL protocol is more and more widely used in a variety of network services. But the SSL protocol itself is not perfect, in practice, there are also problems. For the deficiencies of endpoint authentication in the SSL handshake process, the paper analyzes two kinds of defects existing in the SSL hand-shake process. Firstly, handshake process, in the first stage of the SSL connection, using plaintexts, existing the possibility of  being monitored and tampered. Secondly, SSL deployment of the actual application. Because of considering the factors about the performance of the network connection, that usually uses the way of switch connection based on HTTP protocol. In response to these deficiencies, this thesis adopts the two ways of forged certificates and converting the data stream from HTTPS to HTTP to attack them. In addition, a new attack mode against the data stream of HTTPS is designed and implemented. Experiments show that the above three methods cause significant security risks to HTTPS communications. Therefore, taking a static ARP table, enhanced certificate mechanism and mutual authentication of three different measures are proposed to enhance network security in the paper. It is shown that
