A Review of Internet of Things Architecture, Technologies and Analysis Smartphone-based Attacks Against 3D printers

Human beings cannot be happy with any kind of tiredness based work, so they focused on machines to work on behalf of humans. The Internet-based latest technology provides the platforms for human beings to relax and unburden feeling. The Internet of Things (IoT) field efficiently helps human beings with smart decisions through Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication all over the world. It has been difficult to ignore the importance of the IoT field with the new development of applications such as a smartphone in the present era. The IoT field sensor plays a vital role in sensing the intelligent object/things and making an intelligent decision after sensing the objects. The rapid development of new applications using smartphones in the world caused all users of the IoT community to be faced with one major challenge of security in the form of side channel attacks against highly intensive 3D printing systems. The smartphone formulated Intellectual property (IP) of side channel attacks investigate against 3D printer in the physical domain through reconstructed G-code file through primitive operations. The smartphone (Nexus 5) solved the main problems such as orientation fixing, model accuracy of frame size and validate the feasibility and effectiveness in real case studies against the 3D printer. The 3D printing estimated value reached 20.2 billion of dollars in 2021. The thermal camera is used for exploring the side channel attacks after reconstructing the objects against 3D printers. The researcher analyzed IoT security relevant issues which were avoided in future by enhanced strong security mechanism strategy, encryption, and machine learning-based algorithms, latest technologies, schemes and protocols utilized in an efficient way.

Warm season extreme quantitative precipitation forecasting for the Burlington, VT region

1.Introduction The accurate forecasting of extreme precipitation events is a paramount concern as flooding is the leading weather related cause of the loss of life and property in the United States. As such, several studies have focused on identifying the triggers and synoptic-scale dynamics associated with heavy precipitation events, particularly those events requiring flood warnings. LaPenta et al (1995) identified common characteristics of heavy precipitation and flooding events focusing on the eastern region of the National Weather Service. Triggering mechanisms as wells as an ingredients based methodology for the production of flash flood forecasts were proposed by Doswell et al. (1996). Whitter et al. (2004) identified a possible mechanism for the formation of heavy rainfall events in the Burlington, VT region. Recently, Sisson and Gyakum (2004) found common characteristics among cold-season extreme precipitation events in the region. The purpose of this study is to extend the results of Sisson and Gyakum (2004) to the warm season and provide forecasters with precursor signatures for the identification of potentially hazardous rainfall.
The Mitochondrial Phosphate Transporters Modulate Plant Responses to Salt Stress via Affecting ATP and Gibberellin Metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana

The mitochondrial phosphate transporter (MPT) plays crucial roles in ATP production in plant cells. Three MPT genes have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here we report that the mRNA accumulations of AtMPTs were up-regulated by high salinity stress in A. thaliana seedlings. And the transgenic lines overexpressing AtMPTs displayed increased sensitivity to salt stress compared with the wild-type plants during seed germination and seedling establishment stages. ATP content and energy charge was higher in overexpressing plants than those in wild-type A. thaliana under salt stress. Accordingly, the salt-sensitive phenotype of overexpressing plants was recovered after the exogenous application of atractyloside due to the change of ATP content. Interestingly, Genevestigator survey and qRT-PCR analysis indicated a large number of genes, including those related to gibberellin synthesis could be regulated by the energy availability change under stress conditions in A. thaliana. Moreover, the exogenous application of uniconazole to overexpressing lines showed that gibberellin homeostasis was disturbed in the overexpressors. Our studies reveal a possible link between the ATP content mediated by AtMPTs and gibberellin metabolism in responses to high salinity stress in A. thaliana.
Implementing the Model/View architecture in software of Brewer Network Spectrophotometer for long-term monitoring of UV radiation and ozone atmospheric content

Observed recovery of the ozone layer likely caused by prohibiting some ozone-depleting substances under the Montreal Protocol is observed since 1998 but still may be unstable. In this regard, the task remains to provide the homogeneity of the ozone observations in comparison with the measurements of previous decades. One of the oldest global systems providing ozone data is the network of fully automated Brewer spectrophotometers which operates since the earlier 1980s. The existing software for control Brewer spectrophotometer was created more than 35 years ago and is in need of redeveloping to maintain long-term observations in the face of changing computer platforms. A new cross-platform control software for the Brewer is under development by a group of researchers from OIAP of RAS. This software is capable for running on computers with modern multitasking operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS), and at the same time it has one codebase. In the new Brewer control software, the Model/View architecture is implemented to separate the code of measurement data (models) from the code of their display to the user (views). The model is responsible for data management and provides an interface for reading and writing this data, and the view retrieves the necessary data from the model, reacting to its changes, and sends the data to the user, placing them properly in the GUI of application. Models are developed in the C++ programming language using the cross-platform Qt framework, and the relational database SQLite is used as a persistent storage. This software allows improving the quality and uniformity of TOC and UV radiation measurements on the Brewer spectrophotometers of the global ozone network.
Nanogel-based scaffold delivery of prostaglandin E(2) receptor-specific agonist in combination with a low dose of growth factor heals critical-size bone defects in mice.

OBJECTIVE Regeneration of bone requires the combination of appropriate drugs and an appropriate delivery system to control cell behavior. However, the delivery of multiple drugs to heal bone is complicated by the availability of carriers. The aim of this study was to explore a new system for delivery of a selective EP4 receptor agonist (EP4A) in combination with low-dose bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2). METHODS Combined delivery of EP4A and BMP-2 was carried out with a nanogel-based scaffold in the shape of a disc, to repair critical-size circle-shaped bone defects in calvariae that otherwise did not heal spontaneously. RESULTS Combination treatment with EP4A and low-dose BMP-2 in nanogel efficiently activated bone cells to regenerate calvarial bone by forming both outer and inner cortical plates as well as bone marrow tissue to regenerate a structure similar to that of intact calvaria. EP4A enhanced low-dose BMP-2-induced cell differentiation and activation of transcription events in osteoblasts. CONCLUSION These data indicate that combined delivery of EP4A and low-dose BMP-2 via nanogel-based hydrogel provides a new system for bone repair.
“So my program doesn’t run!” Definition, origins, and practical expressions of students’ (mis)conceptions of correctness

We studied students' conceptions of correctness and their influence on students' correctness-related practices by examining how 159 students had analyzed the correctness of error-free and erroneous algorithms and by interviewing seven students regarding their work. We found that students conceptualized program correctness as the sum of the correctness of its constituent operations and, therefore, they rarely considered programs as incorrect. Instead, as long as they had any operations written correctly students considered the program ‘partially correct’. We suggest that this conception is a faulty extension of the concept of a program's grade, which is usually calculated as the sum of points awarded for separate aspects of a program. Thus school (unintentionally) nurtures students' misconception of correctness. This misconception is aligned with students' tendency to employ a line by line verification method – examining whether each operation is translated as a sub-requirement of the algorithm – which is inconsistent with the method of testing that they formally studied.
N-3-Methylbutyl-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one Exerts Antifungal Activity In Vitro and in a Mouse Model of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

In the present work, we evaluated the antifungal activities of two novel ebselen analogs, N-allyl-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one (N-allyl-bs) and N-3-methylbutylbenzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one (N-3mb-bs). Colorimetric and turbidity assays were performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of these compounds in S1 (fluconazole-sensitive) and S2 (fluconazole-resistant) strains of C. albicans. N-3mb-bs was more active than the N-allyl-bs compound. It is noteworthy that the concentration of N-3mb-bs observed to inhibit fungal growth by 50% (18.2 µM) was similar to the concentration observed to inhibit the activity of the yeast plasma membrane H+-ATPase (Pma1p) by 50% (19.6 µM). We next implemented a mouse model of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) using the S1 strain and examined the mouse and yeast proteins present in the vaginal lavage fluid using proteomics. The yeast proteins detected were predominately glycolytic enzymes or virulence factors associated with C. albicans while the mouse proteins present in the lavage fluid included eosinophil peroxidase, desmocollin-1, and gasdermin-A. We then utilized the N-3mb-bs compound (12.5 mg/kg) in the mouse VVC model and observed that it significantly reduced the vaginal fungal burden, histopathological changes in vagina tissue, and expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO). All in all, the present work has identified a potentially promising drug candidate for VVC treatment.
Role of Forensic Odontology in Identification of Persons: A Review Article

Forensic dentistry plays a pivotal role in identifying deceased individuals when visual or other means of identification are not possible, particularly in the aftermath of mass disasters or criminal activities. Accurate and timely identification of the deceased and injured becomes crucial following events like earthquakes, fires, transport accidents, gunshot incidents, floods, tsunamis, bomb blasts, and terrorist attacks. The process of creating a person's identity is a formidable task, often relying on prevalent methods such as dental, DNA, and fingerprint analyses. Forensic odontology, a specialized field within dentistry, assumes a significant role in identifying individuals in accidents, civil unrest, natural and mass disasters, and crimes related to genocide. In cases where natural teeth are absent, the marking or labeling of dentures becomes essential for personal identification. Teeth's resilience to destruction and decomposition makes dental identification feasible even under extreme conditions. The fundamental principle of forensic dentistry rests on the uniqueness of each individual's oral structure, emphasizing that no two mouths are identical, not even in the case of twins. The purpose of this review is to explore the role of forensic dentistry in identifying individuals through various methods such as denture labeling, cheiloscopy, radiographs, bite mark analysis, rugoscopy, salivary signature, age and sex estimation, dental DNA identification, individual characteristics, and denture marking. Based on detailed ante-mortem records from dental specialists, which are compared to postmortem data during investigations, forensic dentistry is a trustworthy technique for identifying deceased individuals and criminals.
Lives and sustenance of migrant Indian women in Indenture and COVID-19

In the early nineteenth century, several indentured laborers and their descendants were exposed to political, social, and cultural shifts and instabilities that perpetuated over the decades. Simultaneously, in the pandemic era of COVID-19 and the colonial period, women workers had to overcome numerous hurdles, as they migrated without proper sustenance. The main objective of this study was to examine the working conditions, physical and psychological conditions, and sustenance of contracted laborers, especially migrant women, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of them are inequality in the labor markets, domestic workloads and workspaces, sexual abuse, mobility crises, child abuse, xenophobic attitudes, and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). By adopting a qualitative approach and critical examination, it is observed that the vulnerabilities of low-skilled women, the exploitation of migrant labor, as a matrix of identities, behaviors and power relationships are discernible in capitalist expansion, and the disparities that they induce while taking into account how the market mimics the prevalent sexual division of labor.
Parent-Reported Otorrhea in Children with Tympanostomy Tubes: Incidence and Predictors

Purpose Although common in children with tympanostomy tubes, the current incidence of tympanostomy tube otorrhea (TTO) is uncertain. TTO is generally a sign of otitis media, when middle ear fluid drains through the tube. Predictors for otitis media are therefore suggested to have predictive value for the occurrence of TTO. Objective To determine the incidence of TTO and its predictors. Methods We performed a cohort study, using a parental web-based questionnaire to retrospectively collect data on TTO episodes and its potential predictors from children younger than 10 years of age with tympanostomy tubes. Results Of the 1,184 children included in analyses (total duration of time since tube placement was 768 person years with a mean of 7.8 months per child), 616 children (52%) experienced one or more episodes of TTO. 137 children (12%) had TTO within the calendar month of tube placement. 597 (50%) children had one or more acute TTO episodes (duration <4 weeks) and 46 children (4%) one or more chronic TTO episodes (duration ≥4 weeks). 146 children (12%) experienced recurrent TTO episodes. Accounting for time since tube placement, 67% of children developed one or more TTO episodes in the year following tube placement. Young age, recurrent acute otitis media being the indication for tube placement, a recent history of recurrent upper respiratory tract infections and the presence of older siblings were independently associated with the future occurrence of TTO, and can therefore be seen as predictors for TTO. Conclusions Our survey confirms that otorrhea is a common sequela in children with tympanostomy tubes, which occurrence can be predicted by age, medical history and presence of older siblings.
Methacholine induces wheal‐and‐flare reactions in human skin but does not release histamine in vivo as assessed by the skin microdialysis technique

A number of investigations have indicated that cholinergic agonists release histamine from isolated mast cells and suggested that cholinergic stimulation releases histamine in vivo. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the cutaneous wheal‐and‐flare reaction induced by methacholine challenge in human skin involves histamine release as measured by the skin microdialysis technique. Five hollow dialysis fibers were inserted intradermally in forearm skin in eight healthy subjects. Each fiber was perfused with Kreb's‐Ringer bicarbonate at a rate of 3 μl/min. Dialysates were collected in 2‐min fractions before skin challenge and for 20 min after intradermal injection of methacholine 10–‐3 ‐10‐1 M, the vehicle, and a positive control, codeine phosphate 0.3 mg/ml. Histamine was assayed spectrofluorometrically. Methacholine caused a statistically significant dose‐related wheal‐and‐flare reaction, the flare reaction to methacholine 10‐1 M being comparable with that seen with codeine 0.3 mg/ml. No significant histamine release was observed with methacholine, cumulative histamine release of 16 ± 8nM by methacholine 10‐1 M being similar to vehicle responses of 15 ± 9 nM. Histamine release by codeine was 2524 ± 435 nM. In conclusion, methacholine‐induced wheal‐and‐flare reactions in human skin appeared not to involve histamine release from skin mast cells.
The Impact of Patient Education on the Nursing Care of Perioperative Patients in the Interventional Catheterization Room

Objective: To explore and analyze the effect of implementing a precise education model on the nursing care of perioperative patients in the interventional catheterization room. Methods: We selected 70 patients who were going to undergo surgical intervention in our hospital from August 2020 to December 2022 as the subjects for this study through random sampling. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group underwent basic nursing intervention, and the observation group was given precise patient education. The nursing effects of both groups were observed. Results: After the intervention, all compliance indicators of the observation group were better than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Besides, the incidence of complications in the observation group (2.86%) was lower than that of the control group (17.14%) with P < 0.05. Furthermore, the patient satisfaction of the observation group (97.14%) was higher than that of the control group (82.86%), with P < 0.05. Conclusion: A precise propaganda and education model facilitates the nursing of perioperative patients in the interventional catheterization room. Therefore, this practice should be popularized.
Statistical models and sensory attention

Physiological investigations into the neural basis of sensory attention have led to puzzling and contradictory results. Attention can seemingly lead to increased, decreased and unchanged neural activities, according to features of attentional experiments that are not well understood. We take one particular case in which activities increase as a result of attention, model its possible statistical underpinning, and relate our model to other attentional suggestions. Increased activities in population codes are associated with increased certainty about the encoded quantities. This increased certainty has to come from somewhere; in our model it emerges from particular changes in the model's processing strategy.
A Parameter-Free Classification Method for Large Scale Learning

With the rapid growth of computer storage capacities, available data and demand for scoring models both follow an increasing trend, sharper than that of the processing power. However, the main limitation to a wide spread of data mining solutions is the non-increasing availability of skilled data analysts, which play a key role in data preparation and model selection. In this paper, we present a parameter-free scalable classification method, which is a step towards fully automatic data mining. The method is based on Bayes optimal univariate conditional density estimators, naive Bayes classification enhanced with a Bayesian variable selection scheme, and averaging of models using a logarithmic smoothing of the posterior distribution. We focus on the complexity of the algorithms and show how they can cope with data sets that are far larger than the available central memory. We finally report results on the Large Scale Learning challenge, where our method obtains state of the art performance within practicable computation time.
Visual servo control, Part II: Advanced approaches

his article is the second of a two-part tutorial on visual servo control. In Part I (IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine, vol. 13, no. 4), we introduced fundamental concepts and descr ibed basic approaches. Here we discuss more advanced concepts , and present a number of recent approaches. As described in Part I of the tutorial, visual servo schemes rely on the relationship ˙ s = L s v c (1) in which s is a set of geometrical features whose time derivative ˙ s is linearly related to the spatial velocity v c of the camera through the interaction matrix L s. Using this relationship, control schemes are designed to minimize the error e between the current value of the visual feature s and its desired value s * : e = s − s *. A classical proportional control scheme is given by: v c = −λ L + e e, (2) where L e is defined by ˙ e = L e v c , (3) and L + e is an approximation of the pseudo-inverse of L e. An approximation must be used because visual servo schemes require the values of three-dimensional (3-D) parameters that are not available directly from the image measurements. Recall that for position-based visual servo (PBVS) schemes 3-D parameters appear both in the error e and in the interaction matrix, while for basic image-based visual servo (IBVS), the depth of each point considered appears in the coefficients of the interaction matrix related to the transla-tional motions. This is the case even when L + e = L e * + is used in the control scheme, although in this case only the depth Z * of each point for the desired pose is needed, which is generally not difficult to obtain in practice. In all other cases, an estimation of the current depth must be made at each iteration of the control scheme. We begin Part II of the tutorial by describing two approaches to estimating the interaction matrix. First we describe how epipolar geometry can be used to estimate the 3-D parameters, which can then be used to construct the interaction matrix. We then describe how it is possible to estimate directly the numerical value of L + e. With these methods in hand, we then present more advanced techniques in visual servo control. These techniques aim to compensate for the …
