Indoor Positioning System Using BLE for Tracking Dynamic User Positions

Indoor Positioning System has been one of the most attractive research after Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) was introduced. This technology mainly used because of the reduction of material and energy cost over time that has huge impact compared to other technology which are more costly. Most Recent Research has solved the problem of inconsistency on Received Signal Strength (RSS) using fingerprint method. But the RSS that received may contain some noise. This paper mainly proposed a method to estimate or tracking the real position of dynamic user. With RSS value as input to be processed and the result of it will be a location (x, y) value, then repeat the process to create an estimate coordinate map of route taken. Our proposed method is based on fingerprinting with weighted sum of five nearest reference point to estimate the position of dynamic user then using Extended Kalman Filter as a tracking algorithm. In this paper we try new ways to collect the data of RSS by dynamically collecting the data in many routes to see whether the proposed algorithm could estimate the position better. We achieve an average mean of error around 302,42 cm using Weighted Sum + Extended Kalman Filter tested on dynamic data.
Trophic polymorphism in the Malaysian fish Neolissochilus soroides and other Old World Barbs (Teleostei, Cyprinidae)

Population samples of the cyprinid species Neolissochilus soroides from upper Sung剖 Gombak (a small, high-gradient住ibutaryof the Sungai Kelang near Kuala Lumpur in the middle of peninsular Malaysia), exhibit marked variation of oral morphology involving the lips, homy jaw sheaths, and presence or absence of a mentum (a fteshy median lobe between the lower lips). There are specimens with modera飽lydeveloped lips and homy jaw sheaths without notable specializations; others with lower homy jaw sheaths thickened and with a位enchantkeratinized (dark brown) cutting edge and a thin lower lip; and stil others with more or less thickened upper and lower lips and a posteriorly-directed ventromedian process or mentum on the lower lip and weakly developed lower homy jaw sheath (pale or yellowish). Development of恥 mentum,when present, ranges from barely perceptible to so broad, thick and long as the most highly developed menωm in species of血ecyprinid genus Tor. The variation is interpreted here as intraspecific
An Investigation of a Morphing Flapped Wing

This study investigated the design, development, and validation of an alternative method to achieve morphing in wings through the implementation of a sliding mechanism concept. Performance was tested at a specific Reynolds number (Re = 0.62 × 106). Manufacturing an initial wing that incorporated a modular flap design allowed both hinge and morphing flap to be tested using the same primary setup. A subsonic wind tunnel was used to experimentally test the two setups at the same conditions. The goal of this study was to verify the experimental findings against Computational Fluid Dynamics results completed by Abdessemed et al. regarding statically set flaps. Results of this study showed trends that matched [1] despite the slightly different set up used. This study confirmed that such designs could achieve greater performance at lower angles of attack.
Electromagnetic Fault Injection On Two Microcontrollers: Methodology, Fault Model, Attack and Countermeasures

Cryptographic algorithms are being applied to various kinds of embedded devices such as credit card, smart phone, etc. Those cryptographic algorithms are designed to be resistant to mathematical analysis, however, passive Side Channel Attack (SCA) was demonstrated to be a serious security concern for embedded systems. These attacks analyzed the relationship between the side channel leakages (such as the execution time or the power consumption) and the cryptographic operations in order to retrieve the secret information. Various countermeasures were proposed to thwart passive SCA by hiding this relationship. Another different type of SCA, known as the active SCA is Fault Injection Attack (FIA). FIA can be divided into two phases. The first one is the fault injection phase where the attacker aims at injecting a fault to a target circuit with a specific timing and spatial accuracy. The second phase is the fault exploitation phase where the attacker exploits the induced fault and forms an attack. The major targets for the fault exploitation phase are the cryptographic algorithms and the application-sensitive processes. Over the last one and a half decades, FIA has attracted expanding research attention. There are various techniques which could be used to conduct an FIA such as laser, Electromagnetic (EM) pulse, voltage/clock glitch, etc. EM FIA achieves a moderate spatial resolution and a high timing resolution. Moreover, since the EM pulse can pass through the package of the chip, the chip does not need to be fully decapsulated to run the attack. However, there remains a lack of understanding of the fault injected to the cryptographic devices and the countermeasures to protect them. Therefore, it is important to conduct in-depth research on EM FIA. This dissertation concentrates on the study of EM FIA by analyzing the experimental results on two different devices, PIC16F687 and LPC1114. The PIC16F687 applies a two-stage pipeline with a Harvard structure. Faults injected to the PIC16F687 resulted in instruction replacement faults. After analysis of detailed experiments, two new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-128 attacks were proposed and empirically verified using a two-step attack approach. These new AES attacks were proposed with less computational complexity unlike previous Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) algorithms. Instruction specific countermeasures were designed and verified empirically for AES to prevent known attacks and provide fault tolerant protection. The second target chip was the LPC1114, which utilizes an ARM Cortex-M0 core with a three-stage pipeline and a Von Neumann structure. Fault injection on multiple LDR instructions were analyzed indicating both address faults and data faults were found. Moreover, the induced faults were investigated with detailed timing analysis taking the

Protein toxicity to aphids: an in vitro test on Acyrthosiphon pisum

Recent progress in plant transformation for insect resistance has increased the interest in the potential toxicity of proteins towards insect pests. While studies have been targeted to a large array of insect species, phloem‐feeding Homoptera have not been investigated yet. The paper describes a routine test for screening toxicity and growth inhibition of purified proteins in artificial diets on Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris). Twenty‐five commercially available proteins of different classes were tested and compared to some non‐protein chemicals (an insecticide, an antibiotic …). A. pisum proved to be very sensitive to all proteases tested and to some venoms with general cytolytic properties. A plant lectin, concanavalin A, displayed significant toxicity and growth inhibition, while various proteins such as a soybean proteinase inhibitor, a chitinase, and bovine serum albumin showed measurable impairments of growth only at higher dose (≥250 μg.ml−1). Some proteins were without short‐term effect on A. pisum physiology. The influence of these results on aphid‐plant interactions are discussed.
iPad or iFad –The Mobile Classroom

Although previous technology infusion via smart phones proved that it was possible to go paperless in a college course, key weaknesses of the devices prevented them from being practical. This paper describes how new technology, in the form of tablet computers, changed that dilemma in an undergraduate Microeconomics course. We argue that technology infusion results in a diffusion of that technology across place and time.
Statistical Characterization of Wireless Interference Signal Based On UWB Spectrum Sensing

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology offers the potential for unparalleled support of short-range broadband communication over a multi-gigahertz spectrum and are expected to enable several applications with extreme requirements in future wireless networks. Enabling these systems in the unlicensed spectrum requires efficient co-existence management and adequate understanding of the characteristics and spatio-temporal dynamics of interference signals over the multi-GHz bandwidth. This paper investigates the suitability of Gaussian, Middleton canonical class A, symmetric alpha stable and Gaussian Mixture distributions for modelling radio frequency interference from systems in the UWB spectrum based on measurements. We evaluate the closeness of fit of the distributions to measured interference data and provide insights on the applicability of these models for characterizing interference in the UWB spectrum. Results show that the Gaussian Mixture distribution (GMD) yielded the best fit to the measured interference evaluated with Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence below 0.05. Results also show that interference signals generated from the GMD agree closely with the measurements.
Biologie de Prochilodus nigricans ( Teleostei : Prochilodontidae ) dans le bassin du Mamoré (Amazonie bolivienne)

Biology of Proclzilodus i i i p è n i z s (Teleostek Prochilodontidae) in the Mamoré basin (Bolivian Amazonia). Procldodus izigricnizs is abundant in the whole Amazonian basin. The biology of the population living in the midMamoré river, close to Trinidad (Béni, Bolivia), was studied between 1981 and 1987. We investigated its reproduction, groyth, length-weight relationship and condition indice, and estimated its abundance. Proclzilodris nigvicmzs has a high fecundity and a short reproduction season (January to March). Spawning occurs at the end of the flood on the lagoons banks. Hatching date was fixed to the first of February. Length and age at sexual maturity are respectively 27 cm and 2 years. Chronological regulation of spawning seems to depend of a variable maturation controled by some genetical processes. Length reaches about 20 cm at end of first year, and 38 cm for females and 36 cm for males of at least 5-years age. Females grow faster than males and have a higher longevity. The sex-ratio rapidely decreases with size and females become dominant. Demographic structure is characterized by absence of 1+ fish, implying a downstream migration of the youngs at the end of the first year followed by an upstream migration after one year spent in the large lagoons of Northern Béni. As for other Pmkilodr~s pecies with similar biology, it is necessary to define the population units in order to manage these abundant living resources.
Winning heads and hearts? How websites encourage prosocial behaviour

ABSTRACT This study examines how website specific factors promote prosocial behaviours in website visitors. After reviewing the literature, we hypothesise a structural model involving seven perceptions (ease of use, trust, negative affect, positive affect, aesthetics, information quality, and argument strength) and an interaction between positive and negative affect. We test our model by recording participants’ perceptions and prosocial behaviours after their use of a website promoting volunteering and philanthropy. Two websites (‘Amnesty International’, and ‘Casa Guatemala’) are used. We find that website based appeals to both the head (i.e. perceptions of argument strength) and the heart (i.e. perceptions of positive and negative affect) motivate online prosocial behaviour, (i) that appeals to the heart are more effective than appeals to the head, (ii) that positive and negative appeals to the heart have similar effectiveness, and; (iii) that mixed appeals to the heart (i.e. simultaneous perceptions of both positive and negative affect) are ineffective.
Opinion of Women in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate Regarding Prohibition and Criminalization of Female Genital Cutting

ABESTRACT: The study aimed to identify the opinion of women regarding prohibition and criminalization of female genital cutting (FGC). It was conducted at the five medical health centers located in at Kafr El-Sheikh governorate. A total of 250 women attending these centers were selected. Fifty women were selected from each center. An interview schedule was designed and used to collect data. It consists of three parts: the first part included socio-demographic characteristics, the second part entailed the women's knowledge about FGC, and third part contains the details of knowledge about and opinion of women regarding the law that prohibits and criminalizes FGC. The main findings of the study revealed that more than one half (51.2 %) of the study sample were against prohibition and criminalization of FGC and only 27.2 % agreed that it should be prohibited and criminalized, while 3.6 % were uncertain. Mass media was the main source of information about the law, yet, at certain times mass media messages were ambiguous. As a result only one fifth of the sample changed their opinion about FGC during the previous year.

A Comprehensive Review of the Present and Future Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) Systems

Tools and instruments available in the clinical microbiology labs for analysis of patient samples and diagnosis are constantly evolving. The main impetus behind this is to decrease the overall time taken to obtain the results from the instruments, enhance the ease of sample processing, increasing the sample turn-around time with the ultimate goal of earlier patient treatment and better recovery rates. This is especially true in the case of antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), where every hour saved in obtaining the results leading to an earlier switch to targeted antibiotic therapy will have a direct influence on improving clinical outcomes. Reduction in the time to obtain AST results reduces the duration of use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which in turn decreases the emergence of antibiotic resistance among bacteria. Many of the traditional methods available for AST are labor intensive and slow despite being precise in obtaining results. Thus, there is a trend towards development and use of automated diagnostic devices which are rapid and easy to use. This review article provides a detailed summary of traditional AST methods, currently used automated methods, and focuses on some of the promising emerging and future technologies in the field of rapid antibiotic susceptibility profiling.
Epidemiology of benign breast lumps, is it changing: a prospective study

Background: There are wide range of benign breast diseases reported from India. Breast lumps are one of the commonest presentations. Although most of the breast lumps are benign but patient become anxious due to fear of malignancy. Due to this, there is an increase in the use of screening mammography and the fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or core needle biopsy (CNB), most of which yield benign findings. This study is aimed to evaluate the incidence of different types of benign breast lumps in respect to age, size, side and site, relation with parity and use of oral contraceptive pills and analyses of this result in relation with the past and recent study on benign breast diseases.Methods: This study was conducted at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi (India) over a period of one and half years. Inclusion criteria was the cases with palpable breast lumps which were reported benign on either FNAC or CNB and exclusion criteria was the cases with breast malignancy and inflammatory breast lumps.Results: Most common benign breast lump (BBL) was fibroadenoma followed by fibrocystic disease of breast. Fibroadenoma was mainly presented with lump only whereas fibrocystic diseases of breast presented with lump and pain. Most of the BBL was found in nullipara and OCP non-users.Conclusions: Epidemiology of BBL is still the same when analyzed with past and recent study on the benign breast diseases. Triple assessment remains the key in the evaluation of breast lumps.
The Positivity Rate of Epstein-Barr Virus Anti-Viral Capsid Antigen IgG among Children with Infectious Mononucleosis in Diyala-Iraq

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a double-stranded linear DNA human herpesvirus that is transmitted primarily through saliva during childhood. Although the majority of primary EBV infections are clinically asymptomatic, clinical cases are presented as infectious mononucleosis (IMN) syndrome. Objectives: This study was conducted to explore the rate of EBV anti-VCA IgG among children who were clinically suspected as having IMNin Diyala province. Subjects and Methods: This is a cross sectional study that was carried out during 2018 in Diyala province-Iraq. A total of 370 blood samples were collected from 190 children under 15 years of age who were clinically suspected as having IMN, and 180 apparently healthy children as controls. The anti EBV VCA IgG antibodies were detected in serum using the VCA IgG ELISA kit (from Dia.Pro Diagnostic Bioprobessrl-Italy). Statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS-version 25. A statistical significance was considered whenever the P value was ≤ 0.05. Results: The results showed that the IgG positivity rate among suspected IMN patients was insignificantly higher in the age group 10 - 14 years old children (80.8%, P = 0.364). In control subjects the highest positivity rate was in the age group of 1 - 4 years with a statistically significant difference (79.5%, P = 0.002). In suspected IMN patients, the age group of 10 - 14 years had the highest mean concentration ± SD of anti-VCA IgG 44.018 ± 38.644 arbitrary units per milliliter (arbU/ml), while in controls, the highest value 38.018 ± 34.908 (arbU/ml) was in the age group of 1 - 4 years, with insignificant difference in either group (P = 0.257 and 0.072, respectively). The results also showed that in both suspected IMN patients and control subjects, females showed higher IgG positivity rate (70.6%, and 75.5%) compared to males (64.8%, and 65.1%) with insignificant difference in both groups (P = 0.392 and 0.126) respectively. Similarly, the IgG mean concentration ± SD was insignificantly higher in females in both suspected IMN patients and control subjects (P = 0.447 and 0.256) respectively. 21 (87.5%) of IgM positive suspected IMN patients were also IgG positive with a statistically significant association (P = 0.028). Conclusion: The positivity rate of anti-EBV VCA IgG among apparently healthy subjects in Diyala province was 70.6%, which increases by age with slight association with clinical suspicion of infectious mononucleosis.

Comparison of Electrocardiographic Criteria for the Detection of Cardiac Abnormalities in Elite Black and White Athletes

Background— Recent efforts have focused on improving the specificity of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) criteria for ECG interpretation in athletes. These criteria are derived predominantly from white athletes (WAs) and do not account for the effect of Afro-Caribbean ethnicity or novel research questioning the relevance of several isolated ECG patterns. We assessed the impact of the ESC criteria, the newly published Seattle criteria, and a group of proposed refined criteria in a large cohort of black athletes (BAs) and WAs. Methods and Results— Between 2000 and 2012, 1208 BAs were evaluated with history, examination, 12-lead ECG, and further investigations as appropriate. ECGs were retrospectively analyzed according to the ESC recommendations, Seattle criteria, and proposed refined criteria which exclude several specific ECG patterns when present in isolation. All 3 criteria were also applied to 4297 WAs and 103 young athletes with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The ESC recommendations raised suspicion of a cardiac abnormality in 40.4% of BAs and 16.2% of WAs. The Seattle criteria reduced abnormal ECGs to 18.4% in BAs and 7.1% in WAs. The refined criteria further reduced abnormal ECGs to 11.5% in BAs and 5.3% in WAs. All 3 criteria identified 98.1% of athletes with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Compared with ESC recommendations, the refined criteria improved specificity from 40.3% to 84.2% in BAs and from 73.8% to 94.1% in WAs without compromising the sensitivity of the ECG in detecting pathology. Conclusion— Refinement of current ECG screening criteria has the potential to significantly reduce the burden of false-positive ECGs in athletes, particularly BAs.
