This study proposes a novel WoT concept for improving the current police work on anti-terrorist. In order to prove the feasibility and effectiveness, the presented WoT-based police rescue squad force (RSF) concept is modelled and simulated by a Monte Carlo simulation. The current RSF and WoT-based are two alternatives that are analysed for the comparison. The simulation results show that a significant difference between the current RSF and WoT-based exists. The information gained from the simulation reveals the WoT-based RSF can support the commander's decision makers in performing the anti-terrorist task with less risk, less cost with high effectiveness. This study makes an exceedingly contribution which the WoT-based RSF concept is viable and can easily improve police performance in anti-terrorist and hostage rescue tasks.

Both telomere length and alcohol consumption have an important impact on biological age and carcinogenesis. Researchers have conducted many efforts to study the relationship between alcohol consumption and telomere length yet reached no consensus. In this paper, a meta-analysis is performed and relevant investigation results from previous literature are integrated. Twenty-one works of literature published between 2000 and 2016, which comprise 27 analyses with a total samples' size of 35,891, meet our screening conditions. Whether the relationship between alcohol consumption and telomere length is significant, this issue varies with study type (cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional) and study population (Europe, Asia, American, or Australia). It is deduced by combined evidence that alcohol consumption is associated with telomere length (with Fisher's combined p-value = 3.52E-8 and Liptak's weighted p-value = 8.24E-3). In the future, the consistent standardised quantifications of alcohol consumption and telomere length will avail further aggregation of the evidence from various studies.

Real-time data processing is a very important part of data processing in the web of things (WoT). The devices in WoT collect data and provide real-time information. The accuracy of the collected data is critical to provide valid results. Many existing methods are devoted to modifying filter algorithms. However, little attention is devoted to the inner relationship of data and data accuracy. In the present study, a quadratic filter model based on the clustering kernel is presented. First, the common filter method is used. Second, the clustering algorithm is adopted to deliver the clustering result. The attractor of the class is gained to the clustering kernel. Finally, the quadratic filter is processed according to the clustering kernel. The simulations show that the proposed model can increase the data accuracy.

To maintain network efficiency of a home network, it is crucial to moderately distribute limited data throughput and bandwidth resources to various home devices and services that require different network resource provisions. This paper accounts for QoS differentiation and fairness of network resource allocation which are essential to the design of an efficient IoT-based home media delivery mechanism against network traffic dynamics. Accordingly, our study in this paper proposes a QoS-prioritised media delivery mechanism with adaptive data throughput. This mechanism design includes several functions: assigning weights of relative importance to home service types, adjusting media quality of home services, reducing data workload against traffic congestion, and fairly distributing free bandwidth to prioritised home services. Furthermore, our study fulfills a simplified proof-of-concept implementation in a small-scaled IoT-based home network. Practical experiments can generate real measure data for performance examination. Results show that the proposed mechanism is able to sustain not only QoS differentiation like data throughput and delay, but also fair user satisfaction with comfortable media playing quality.
