Security Extensions for Mobile Commerce Objects

Electronic commerce and its variance mobile commerce have tremendously increased their popularity in the last several years. As mobile devices have become the most popular mean to access and use the Internet, mobile commerce and its security are timely and very hot topics. Yet, today there is still no consistent model of various m–commerce applications and transactions, even less clear specification of their security. In order to address and solve those issues, in this paper, we first establish the concept of mobile commerce objects, an equivalent of virtual currencies, used for m–commerce transactions. We describe functionalities and unique characteristics of these objects; we follow with security requirements, and then offer some solutions – security extensions of these objects. All solutions are treated within the complete lifecycle of creation and use of the m–commerce objects.
Gender and Power in Online Communication

New communication technologies are often invested with users' hopes for change in the social order.1 Thus the Internet is said to be inherently democratic, leveling traditional distinctions of social status, and creating opportunities for less powerful individuals and groups to participate on a par with members of more powerful groups. Specifically, the Internet has been claimed to lead to greater gender equality, with women, as the socially, politically, and economically less powerful gender, especially likely to reap its benefits. The claims include the following:
EigenFIT : a statistical learning approach to facial composites

This thesis describes the technical concept, design and implementation of a novel facial composite system which exploits the intrinsic human capacity for facial recognition and comparison. Existing commercial systems for the computer generation of facial composites suffer from some well-documented weaknesses, notably the tendency to focus exclusively on featural information. The scientific, psychological and operational motivation for a new approach is first outlined and then the basic design presented. A system based on this novel approach, known as EigenFIT, is adaptable and exploits the concept of knowledge integration in which global, featural and semantic information supplied by a witness can all be seamlessly incorporated into the composite construction process. The work presented is primarily concerned with the generation and manipulation of plausible face stimuli which are displayed in a manner that is matched to the needs of witnesses and composite operators. A model of facial appearance based on statistical learning procedures is outlined. The thesis shows how this model can be combined with suitable image processing techniques to generate near photo-realistic composite faces across gender, ethnic origin and age. Also described is advanced functionality which allows a witness to directly manipulate individual features, automatically age faces, combine faces and alter perceived facial attributes in a simple and direct fashion. A novel exploration of the caricature effect and its potential impact on effective composite production is also presented. Preliminary results of both laboratory testing and trials of the prototype system and its experimental, operational use by U.K. police forces is discussed. A computer terminal is not some clunky old television with a typewriter in front of it. It is an interface where the mind and body can connect with the universe and move bits of it about.
Analog and mixed-signal test methods using on-chip embedded test cores

A robust method has been developed for the test and characterization of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. The method relies on a compact, robust, and easily synthesized integrated test core capable of emulating the function of extemal automatic test equipment. The core consists of a 2 x N memory whose contents are periodically circulated, a coarse analog filter, and a voltage comparator. One half of the circular memory is used to generate analog signaIs without the need for multi-bit digital-to-analog converters. The second half is used to generate extremely accurate DC levels, the latter being programmed using a dever software encoding technique that relies on sorne form of sigma-delta modulation. The DC levels, in combination with the comparator, enable multi-bit digitization using a progressive multiple conversion pass procedure. In order to accommodate broadband circuit phenomena, a delayed-clock sub-sampling mechanism is also employed, in which the digitizer sample dock is consistently delayed over multiple runs of the periodic test signal. One method of delaying the dock is to use a voltagecontrolled delay line tuned by a delay-Iocked loop. The timing resolution of this approach is determined by the value of the consistent dock delay and not its period. A divide-and-conquer approach to the test of deeply embedded analog integrated circuits using the proposed test core is described. Multiple test configurations are presented that can span a wide range of phenomena to be tested both intemally to the integrated circuit and externally through 1/0 interfaces. The applicability of these configurations to increasing test parallelism both at the core and die levels is investigated. Performance limits of the proposed test core are also derived by drawing a comparison to conventional circuits used for data-conversion applications. The same fundamental limitations on integrated circuit performance are shown to affect the test core electronics, although testspecifie requirements, such as forcing periodicity and the reliance on software signal processing, help further enhance on-chip measurement accuracy and repeatability. Finally, several successful experimental prototypes that demonstrate the viability of the proposed approach are presented. The prototypes range from concept proving test core integrated circuits to ones containing multiple simultaneously operated test cores and completely embedded circuits under test. In total, several hundred different test cores have been demonstrated, which is further testimony to the practicality of the proposed techniques.
Distinguishing Good Speculation from Bad Theory

The number of my major points which emerge undisputed and fully intact after the preceding "Comment" is impressive and noteworthy. The Annenberg team's reply combines assertions about theory, method, and findings which I shall disentangle and divide more appropriately into separate sections for this rejoinder. Within each of these, the following analytical components of their response (in descending order of importance) will be addressed: (1 ) basic issues, on which (a) they concede, (b) we are in substantial agreement, or (c) they remain silent, despite the length of the "Comment"; (2) areas they dispute, but for which no new supporting information, clarifications, or data are provided; (3) questions raised, whose answers are already found in the text and tables of my article; (4) additionalquestions on topics which have little or nothing to do with the substance of my presentation; and (5) suggestions that I have committed an unconscionable (scholarly) act by holding accountable to the standards of "pure science" some glaring inadequacies in publications promoting the "cumulative

The translucency values of Blissymbols as rated by typically developing Setswana learners

Cross-cultural differences in the perception of pictorial material has long been established and documented. In the Republic of South Africa, which is increasingly globalized, and where it is appealing from financial, economic and training perspectives, the temptation is to use Western-based AAC symbol systems and strategies in intervention with clients from other language and cultural orientations. The aim of this study was to determine the translucency ratings of specific Blissymbols as rated by six-to seven-year-old Setswana-speaking children. A secondary aim was to determine whether the ratings changed after second and third exposures in order to determine the learnability of these symbols. A brief comparison was made between the results of the current study and the results reported in the Quist et al., study (1998). Thirty-five Setswana learners were exposed to 93 selected Blissymbols, based on a study by Quist et al., (1998). A three-point semantic differential scale, consisting of three faces accompanied each Blissymbol. Participants marked the face that best described his/her perception of the specific symbol’s iconicity. This procedure was repeated over a period of three days. The results indicated that the translucency ratings of the majority of the Blissymbols ranged from moderate to high. The research further demonstrated significant differences in translucency ratings between the first and second exposures, suggesting learning of the symbols. A smaller difference was noted between Days 2 and 3. A correlation in findings was noted between the current study and the Dutch and US studies (Quist et al., 1998).
A fixed-base simulation study of two STOL aircraft flying curved, descending instrument approach paths

A real-time, fixed-base simulation study has been conducted to determine the curved, descending approach paths (within passenger-comfort limits) that would be acceptable to pilots, the flight-director-system logic requirements for curved-flight-path guidance, and the paths which can be flown within proposed microwave landing system (MLS) coverage angles. Two STOL aircraft configurations were used in the study. Generally, no differences in the results between the two STOL configurations were found. The investigation showed that paths with a 1828.8 meter turn radius and a 1828.8 meter final-approach distance were acceptable without winds and with winds up to at least 15 knots for airspeeds from 75 to 100 knots. The altitude at roll-out from the final turn determined which final-approach distances were acceptable. Pilots preferred to have an initial straight leg of about 1 n. mi. after MLS guidance acquisition before turn intercept. The size of the azimuth coverage angle necessary to meet passenger and pilot criteria depends on the size of the turn angle: plus or minus 60 deg was adequate to cover all paths execpt ones with a 180 deg turn.

A User-Centric Tabular Multi-Column Sorting Interface For Intact Transposition Of Columnar Data

A USER-CENTRIC TABULAR MULTI-COLUMN SORTING INTERFACE FOR INTACT TRANSPOSITION OF COLUMNAR DATA David B. L. Miles School of Technology Master of Science Many usability features designed in software applications are not procedurally intuitive for software users. A good example of software usability involves tabular sorting in a spreadsheet. Single-column sorting, activated with a mouse click to a column header or toolbar button, often produces rearranged listings that reduce cognitive organization beyond the sorted column. Multi-column sorting, generated through menudriven processes, provides derived organization, however, locating feature options through menu-based systems can be confusing. A means to overcome this confusion is prioritized selection of database arrays issued to columnar displays for the purpose of intact transposition of data. This is a unique process designed as a user-centric tabular multi-column sorting interface. Designed within this experimental software application is a “trickle down” logic perceived as a navigation rule. The design offers logic associated with decision choices as used to pursue a software solution. The solution in this instance is a compiled resultant of separate and distinct columnar data sorting. The design was initially implemented in a software application housing thousands of examination scores. Observations of the design concept’s effectiveness in practice led to further investigation through this master’s thesis. To validate the research design, research participants were introduced to an example of traditional database sort/selection with practice examples. These users were also provided sorting exercises to reinforce the discussed concepts–both experimental and traditional. Finally, a survey questionnaire allowed them to provide feedback about the different task methods for sorting as well as the experience of using these dissimilar methods. The hypothesis was not validated through the research survey. Consideration of observations of the design in a production environment for four years, however, provided impetus to suggest further research of the design concept.
Franz Joseph Gall

Franz Joseph Gall (1758–1828) viewed himself as a cutting-edge scientist, whose broad goals were to understand the mind and brain, and to be able to account for both group and individual behavioral traits in humans and animals. Starting in Vienna during the 1790s, he argued for many independent faculties of mind (e.g., music, calculation), ultimately settling on 27, with 8 being unique to humans. At the same time, he became the first person to provide evidence for cortical localization of function, the idea that the cerebral cortex is composed of specialized functional areas or organs, as he preferred to say. But although he utilized many acceptable methods in his multifaceted research program (e.g., dissections, studying people with brain damage, and observing behaviors over a lifetime), his doctrine was highly controversial from the start. For scientists and physicians, this was largely because he made cranioscopy his primary method, believing cranial bumps and depressions faithfully reflect the cortical organs and could be correlated with specific behaviors. In this book, Gall is shown to be a dedicated scientist with brilliant insights: a free-thinking naturalist of the mind and a visionary of the brain, yet a researcher with faults. Despite being frequently portrayed as a charlatan or comical figure, the authors also show how what others called his “phrenology” (a term he abhorred) helped shape the modern neurosciences and other disciplines. Maintaining that Gall’s impact deserves more recognition today, this book provides a fresh look at the man, his objectives, and his revolutionary doctrine.
Analytical and Computational Methods for Analyzing Feedback Structure in System Dynamics Models

The system dynamics approach is based on the observation that dynamic behaviour arises as a result of endogenous interactions, particularly the interplay of various feedback loops. There are many open questions relating to the relationship between system structure and its behavior, and there are opportunities to add to the range of formal mathematical methodologies which can identify dominant feedback structures that give rise to the system behavior. The objective of this thesis is to propose methodologies that can identify the structural origins of complex behavior, and investigate their application in system dynamics models. Our contributions to the field are: First, we have found a drawback of a widely adopted loop selection algorithm named SILS which is required by the eigenvalue elasticity analysis to identify dominant loops. We propose a specific algorithm is to address this problem, and demonstrate its applicability through an individual-oriented example. Second, with an increasingly emphasis on the study of eigenvector, an analytic eigenvector analysis method is proposed. As is known that, besides eigenvalue, the eigenvector plays an important role in determining the system behaviour as well. We develop an analytical approach, and suggest considering that both eigenvalue and eigenvector could provide an overall assessment of a structural change over the behaviour of interest. Third, for the behavioural method we first propose a new loop deactivation method which enables the behavioural method to operate even when no unique edge exists in a candidate loop. An example is provided to validate this method by comparing its analysis results with that from eigenvalue analysis. The introduction of this loop deactivation method makes the original method more robust and extends its applicability. Fourth, we propose an alternative criteria by measuring the sensitivity from different loops. We name this as the variant of the behavioural method. A series of testing values are used for each control variable in multiple simulations, and various trajectories of the variable of interest are obtained. The sensitivity from each loop thus can be measured. We hope by blending the sensitivity measurement, the behavioural method can be examined from another perspective and possibly more insights are gained. Finally, an extensive software library which automates the behavioural method and further has potential to implement its variant method has been designed and developed.
