False data injection attack on distributed state estimation over a wireless sensor network

Security risks of wireless sensor networks have attracted increasing concerns in recent years. In this paper, we consider an attacker with limited power who injects random false data into the transmitted data on the communication links so as to maximize the network estimation error. First, an optimal estimator is obtained by minimizing the mean-squared estimation error of each sensor under attacks. Then, a sufficient condition is provided to guarantee the stability of the proposed estimator. Finally, a set of optimal attacking sequences are obtained to maximize the network estimation error. Numerical examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the optimal attacking sequences.
A Modified Genetic Algorithm and Switch-Based Neural Network Model Applied to Misuse-Based Intrusion Detection

As our reliance on the Internet continues to grow, the need for secure, reliable networks also increases. Using a modified genetic algorithm and a switch-based neural network model, this thesis outlines the creation of a powerful intrusion detection system (IDS) capable of detecting network attacks. The new genetic algorithm is tested against traditional and other modified genetic algorithms using common benchmark functions, and is found to produce better results in less time, and with less human interaction. The IDS is tested using the standard benchmark data collection for intrusion detection: the DARPA 98 KDD99 set. Results are found to be comparable to those achieved using ant colony optimization, and superior to those obtained with support vector machines and other genetic algorithms.

Visual feature vs. conjunction searches as a robust manipulation of perceptual load

ABSTRACT It has previously been suggested that Lavie’s Perceptual Load Theory can be assessed using feature vs. conjunction search tasks. In this study we manipulated load using a novel paradigm which retains the key features of both classic Load Theory and Feature Integration Theory paradigms. This new paradigm has the advantage of an inbuilt manipulation check which is necessary for future research to translate Load Theory to applied contexts. Across five experiments, we demonstrate the robust nature of this paradigm, which functions with extended display times, large, complex stimuli and when conditions are intermixed on a trial-by-trial basis. We also rule out dilution as a possible cause of these results. The results of all five experiments provide evidence that the feature vs. conjunction search dichotomy is an effective means of imposing low and high perceptual load while controlling for working memory load.
Improving information design practice: A closer look at conceptual design methods

As novel tools and techniques for visualizing information grow popular, many information design solutions are increasingly demonstrating high technical and visual sophistication, but often at the expense of thoughtful, effective communication. This recurring phenomenon highlights an overemphasis on the production of design outputs and failure to understand the initial problem, content, and audience early in a project. We assert that ineffective information design results primarily from a lack of rigor in the conceptual stage of the design process, when critical decisions determine the end result. We propose 23 methods information designers may adopt to reinforce their conceptual design activities.
Translating technical texts into Zulu with the aid of multilingual and/or parallel corpora

Abstract The single biggest problem that translators have to contend with when translating from an international language such as English into a so-called minor language or language of limited diffusion (LLD) such as Zulu, is the lack of terminology in the majority of specialist subject fields. In this article we demonstrate how special-purpose multilingual and parallel corpora can be utilised as a translator's tool in finding suitable term equivalents when translating technical texts into Zulu. Although translators working into languages such as, for example, English and French follow this methodology as a matter of course, it has (to our knowledge) not yet been shown how such a course of action may be applied to the African languages, and specifically to Zulu in this case.

How Well Prepared are Students for Undergraduate Engineering Mathematics?

Many universities admit students to degree courses in mechanical engineering from a wide variety of backgrounds. The majority enter with a study of A level mathematics. An increasing proportion enter having previously studied for BTEC qualifications. The conventional rule of thumb which is used is that BTEC level 3 is equivalent to A level. In this paper this rule of thumb is examined by comparing the performance of A level and BTEC students in a diagnostic test, taken at the start of their course, and the results of the end-of-year examination. The results of students entering the mechanical engineering stream of degree courses at Coventry University in 1991 and 1992 are used to provide the data for this study. The diagnostic test results also show the key areas of weakness in the level of mathematical competence of many students on entry to universities.

Fatty acid and trace element compositions of the seeds of different Onobrychis viciifolia genotypes

Seed oil contents, fatty acid compositions and mineral contents of twenty Onobrychis viciifolia genotypes (sainfoin) were investigated in this study. The fatty acid composition of O. viciifolia genotypes had different saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. For saturated fatty acids, O. viciifolia genotypes contained palmitic and stearic acids as the major component and contained small amount of myristic and arachidic acids. The major unsaturated fatty acids were identified as oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. Total saturated fatty acids contents varied between 10.50 and 14.28% and total unsaturated fatty acid contents varied between 85.72 and 89.50%. Co, Mn, Fe, Cu, Ni and Zn were detected in crop seeds in different amounts. The proximate analysis indicated that seed Co contents varied between 13.53 and 114.83 ppm, Mn contents between 28.14 and 97.20 ppm, Fe contents between 113.7 and 277.7 ppm, Cu contents between 7.19 and 12.24 ppm, Ni contents between 1.14 and 19.73 ppm and Zn contents between 26.03 and 52.39 ppm, respectively. The result of this study suggest that further studies are obligatory to invigorate in terms of animal nutrition and phytochemicals of O. viciifolia.

Elements for Learning and Optimizing Expensive Functions

This work focuses on learning and optimizing expensive functions, that is constructing algorithms learning to identify a concept, to approximate a function or to find an optimum based on examples of this concept (resp. points of the function). The motivating application is learning and optimizing simplified models in numerical engineering, for industrial challenges for which obtaining examples is expensive. It is then necessary to use as few examples as possible for learning (resp. optimizing). The first contribution was the conception and development of a new approach of active learning, based on reinforcement learning. Theoretical foundations for this approach were established. Furthermore, a learning algorithm based on this approach, BAAL, was implemented, and used to provide experimental validation. The approach, originally focused on machine learning, was also extended to optimization. The second contribution is focused on the potential and limits of both active learning and expensive optimization, from a theoretical point of view. Sample complexity bounds were derived: 1/ for batch active learning; 2/ for noisy optimization.

A chiral lead borate containing infinite and finite chains built up from BO4 and BO3 units

With a hydrothermal technique, a novel chiral lead borate (Pb6B11O18(OH)9) has been prepared. The sample has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and second-harmonic generation powder measurement. The structure of the compound, which crystallizes in the trigonal space group P32 with lattice constants a = 11.7691(7) A and c = 13.3361(12) A has been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. There exist infinite helical chains and finite chain fragments built up from BO4 and BO3 units. In the compound the Pb2+ cations are located in the space between adjacent polyborate anionic chains, compensating the negative charges of the chains. The chiral feature of the lead borate is unique, and because it lacks symmetry center, the compound exhibits distinct NLO properties.
Very high resolution images classification by fine tuning deep convolutional neural networks

The analysis and interpretation of satellite images generally require the realization of a classification step. For this purpose, many methods over the year have been developed with good performances. But with the explosion of VHR images availability, these methods became more difficult to use. Recently, deep neural networks emerged as a method to address the VHR images classification which is a key point in remote sensing field. This work aims to evaluate the performance of fine-tuning pretrained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on the classification of VHR imagery. The results are promising since they show better accuracy comparing to that of CNNs as features extractor.
ASSESSING THE PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ATTRIBUTE TO CURRENT ICT APPLICATIONS

In this study we surveyed students in a mid-sized university in Ontario, Canada to explore various aspects associated with their use of computer-based applications. For the purpose of analysis, the computer applications under study were categorized according to the Human-Computer-Human Interaction (HCHI) model of Desjardins (2005) in which interactions between users and digital technology are categorized into four classes of interaction, namely, Technical Interactions (interactions with the digital devices themselves), Social Interactions (interactions with other users through digital devices), Informational Interactions (interactions with information through digital devices), and Computational Interactions (interactions with data processing software through digital devices). The survey attempted to assess the following four aspects of computer application use (in the context of the HCHI model): importance, purpose, frequency, and confidence. In this paper we report on preliminary findings regarding the purpose and importance students attributed to the applications under study. Frequency and confidence studies were reported elsewhere— Partosoedarso, DiGiuseppe, vanOostveen, & Desjardins (2013). Preliminary findings indicate that, in general, students in this study tended to engage in technical, social, and informational interactions primarily for personal purposes and computational interactions for school purposes. In terms of importance, students ascribed the greatest importance to social interactions, followed by technical, informational, and computational interactions, in that order.
Development of a risk-based tool for groundwater well rehabilitation and replacement decisions

Groundwater wells are critical drinking water infrastructure elements that widely support basic system supply needs while also providing supply reliability, better water quality (in some cases), and comparatively lower operational costs. Well rehabilitation and replacement are thus an area where water utilities could benefit from rational decision support frameworks and quantitative tools that enable them to better navigate the complex trade-off relationship(s) that exist among a variety of environmental quality, public health, financial, regulatory, organizational, and technological dimensions. Consistent with these considerations, a business risk-based prioritization tool was developed for this study that augments/extends California Water Service (Cal Water)'s well rehabilitation and the replacement decision-making process. For this derivation, a business risk exposure methodology is combined with an analytical hierarchy process (AHP), with the AHP being utilized to determine the weights of the factors involved in the likelihood of failure and the consequence of failure calculation. It is expected that the new tool will assist in optimizing inspection and action plans and identify the wells requiring attention and/or additional work for water utilities.

Phytochemical screening and antioxidant properties of stingless bee Geniotrigona thoracica propolis

Propolis is a gum-like product that collected by bees from plants and it varies in colour range from light yellow to dark brown. The chemical composition of propolis depends on various factors such as vegetation, season and environmental conditions of the sample collection. The aim of the study was to determine the chemical profile and antioxidant properties of crude methanol extract of Geniotrigona thoracica propolis from five localities, namely Besut (BST), Dungun (DGN), Lundang (LDG), Tanah Merah (TM) and Gua Musang (GM). Phytochemical screening by thin layer chromatography (TLC) showed the presence of terpenoids, flavonoids, coumarins, essential oils and unsaturated and aromatic compounds. The extracts displayed different characteristics of chemical profile that varied from each other. The antioxidant properties of extracts were evaluated based on total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging activity. Propolis from Gua Musang (GM) exhibited the highest total phenolic content with 23.43 ± 0.50 mg GAE/g extract while propolis from Besut (BST) exhibited the highest total flavonoids content with 17.22 ± 0.16 mg QE/g extract and showed the lowest IC50 with 53 µg/mL for DPPH radical scavenging activities. As a result, Geniotrigona thoracica from Besut (BST) could be considered as a good source of antioxidant due to its antioxidant properties.
