Network Congestion Control in 4G Technology Through Iterative Server

During the last few decades, mobile communication has developed rapidly. The increasing dependency of people on telecommunication resources is pushing even more current technological developments in the mobile world. In Real-time multimedia applications, such as Live TV or live movie, video conferencing, VoIP, on-line gaming etc. are exciting applications to the success of 4G.In today’s Internet these applications are not subject to congestion control, therefore the growth of popularity of these applications may endanger the stability of the Internet. In this paper, we propose a novel model to solve the network congestion problem through iterative server. In this model, when a client send a request to server then server will generate a individual iterative server for requesting client. After completing the request, the iterative server will be automatically destroyed.
Post-translational Modification of Nuclear Co-repressor Receptor-interacting Protein 140 by Acetylation*

Receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) is a versatile co-regulator for nuclear receptors and many transcription factors and contains several autonomous repressive domains. RIP140 can be acetylated, and acetylation affects its biological activity. In this study, a comprehensive proteomic analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy was conducted to identify the in vivo acetylation sites on RIP140 purified from Sf21 insect cells. Eight acetylation sites were found within the amino-terminal and the central regions, including Lys111, Lys158, Lys287, Lys311, Lys482, Lys529, Lys607, and Lys932. Reporter assays were conducted to examine the effects of acetylation on various domains of RIP140. Green fluorescent protein-tagged fusion proteins were used to demonstrate the effect on nuclear translocation of these domains. A general inhibitor of reversible protein deacetylation was used to enrich the acetylated population of RIP140. The amino-terminal region (amino acids (aa) 1–495) was more repressive and accumulated more in the nuclei under hyperacetylated conditions, whereas hyperacetylation reduced the repressive activity and nuclear translocation of the central region (aa 336–1006). The deacetylase inhibitor had no effect on the carboxyl-terminal region (aa 977–1161) where no acetylation sites were found. Hyperacetylation also enhanced the repressive activity of the full-length protein but triggered its export into the cytosol in a small population of cells. This study revealed differential effects of post-translational modification on various domains of RIP140 through acetylation, including its effects on repressive activity and nuclear translocation of the full-length protein and its subdomains.
Improving Annealing via Directed Moves

Simulated annealing remains a widely-used heuristic for FPGA placement due, in part, to its ability to produce high-quality placements while accommodating complex objective functions and architectural constraints. In this work, we investigate the concept of "directed moves" during annealing as a means of improving upon the quality and run-time of the technique. We intersperse "intelligent" strategies for selecting and placing cells along with traditional, random moves during an anneal. This allows our annealer to converge more quickly and to attain better-quality placements with less statistical variability. Our results confirm that, for the same amount of computational effort, directed moves achieve 5% and 10% improvement in critical path delay and wire length, respectively, compared to traditional annealing perturbations.
On improving the use of OCT imaging for detecting glaucomatous damage

Aims To describe two approaches for improving the detection of glaucomatous damage seen with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods The two approaches described were: one, a visual analysis of the high-quality OCT circle scans and two, a comparison of local visual field sensitivity loss to local OCT retinal ganglion cell plus inner plexiform (RGC+) and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thinning. OCT images were obtained from glaucoma patients and suspects using a spectral domain OCT machine and commercially available scanning protocols. A high-quality peripapillary circle scan (average of 50), a three-dimensional (3D) scan of the optic disc, and a 3D scan of the macula were obtained. RGC+ and RNFL thickness and probability plots were generated from the 3D scans. Results A close visual analysis of a high-quality circle scan can help avoid both false positive and false negative errors. Similarly, to avoid these errors, the location of abnormal visual field points should be compared to regions of abnormal RGC+ and RNFL thickness. Conclusions To improve the sensitivity and specificity of OCT imaging, high-quality images should be visually scrutinised and topographical information from visual fields and OCT scans combined.
IARMSG: Incremental Association Rule Mining for Automatic Worm Signature Generation

— In recent era, Internet worms are one of serious threats which have been a major cause of intrusion attempts. Traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) store all known worm signatures and monitors real time traffic to find out these signatures and prevent possible intrusion attempts. This approach is not useful for newly evolved worms due to the unavailability of their signatures. Present worm signature generation work needs manual analysis which is time consuming process. To circumvent these problems substantial efforts have been made which automate the process of worm signature generation. In this paper we address the problem of automating worm signature generation process. We propose an Incremental Association Rule Based Signature Generation (IARMSG) algorithm which operates at network entry point to find out new attack patterns and generate signatures. We use content invariance and prevalence characteristics of the worms for worm signature generation. Our system is highly effective against newly evolved worms and slow propagating worms. Our System operates offline and hence is stable against Denial of Service attacks (DOS). These are significant improvements over existing automated worm signature generation methods like Earlybird and Autograph.
Something in the Air: Journeys of Self-Actualization in Musical Improvisation

The aim of this qualitative, abductive, and phenomenological inquiry was to develop categories based on participants' perceptions of their improvisation and listening experiences. As using improvised music in clinical music therapy is an important method, this study expanded the knowledge of and language needed to describe this very sensitive and insightful communication process. If there is something in the air—what is it and is it something significant? Research questions included: 1. What kind of process is experienced when one improvises with an unknown person in an unfamiliar musical style? 2. What is in the air during live interactive improvisation? 3. What are the links between processes of self-actualization and peak experiences introduced by Abraham Maslow (1968) and the experiences described by the participants regarding their live improvised/interactive musical processes? The data of this study consisted of two audio-taped improvisations, three interviews, and the written reflections of six participants who participated in interactive live improvisation sessions. Ferrara's method was adapted for the data collection and analysis. Research results are presented in the form of descriptive categories which give a clearer picture of what happens during the process of musical improvisation.
Strategic Sexual Communication: Condom Use Resistance and Response

This study examined the communicative choices people make in sexual situations as they decide whether or not to use condoms. Specifically, we examined the ways in which potential sexual partners attempt to seek information about one another and the strategies they use to persuade their partners to use condoms. Two hundred four college students who had engaged in sexual intercourse with a new partner in the last 12 months participated in the study. The results regarding information seeking suggest that few respondents tried to assess the risk of contracting AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases with a new partner. However, many were interested in their partner's promiscuous behavior, perhaps reflecting more concern about the potential of a lasting relationship than about disease prevention. Participants also indicated that most overt attempts to use a condom were not met with resistance. Participants rated nine persuasive strategies for getting a partner to use a condom according to likelihood of use.
Prospective, blind study of the triple stimulation technique in the diagnosis of ALS

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic yield of magnetic cortical stimulation with the triple stimulation technique (TST) to identify upper motor neuron (UMN) involvement in patients suspected of having ALS. Methods: Fifty-nine patients were recruited to undergo TST in addition to the standard work-up for suspected motor neuron disease. TST combines transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex with collision studies, which results in a higher sensitivity in detecting UMN involvement. Primary outcome was the number of abnormal TST results in patients with possible ALS. The positivity rate was converted to the number needed to test with TST (NN-TST) for one extra diagnosis of ALS. Results: Fifty patients underwent TST. In the total group (n=59), 18 patients had a motor neuron disorder but did not fulfil criteria for ‘probable’ or ‘definite’ ALS. In four of these patients TST was abnormal (NN-TST, 4.5). One TST was erroneously interpreted as abnormal. TST findings were normal in inclusion body myositis and peripheral nerve disorders. Conclusion: This prospective and blind study confirms open studies of TST in the evaluation of ALS. We suggest that TST can be used to arrive at a diagnosis of ‘probable’ or ‘definite’ ALS in patients lacking UMN signs in the upper extremities.
Observational constraints on general relativistic energy conditions, cosmic matter density and dark energy from X-ray clusters of galaxies and type-Ia supernovae

New observational constraints on the cosmic matter density Ωm and an effectively redshift-independent equation of state parameter wx of the dark energy are obtained while simultaneously testing the strong and null energy conditions of general relativity on macroscopic scales. The combination of REFLEX X-ray cluster and type-Ia supernova data shows that for a flat Universe the strong energy condition might presently be violated whereas the null energy condition seems to be fulfilled. This provides another observational argument for the present accelerated cosmic expansion and the absence of exotic physical phenomena related to a broken null energy condition. The marginalization of the likelihood distributions is performed in a manner to include a large fraction of the recently discussed possible systematic errors involved in the application of X-ray clusters as cosmological probes. This yields for a flat Universe, Ωm = 0.29 +0.08 −0.12 and wx = −0.95 +0.30 −0.35 (1σ errors without cosmic variance). The scatter in the different analyses indicates a quite robust result around wx = −1, leaving little room for the introduction of new energy components described by quintessence-like models or phantom energy. The most natural interpretation of the data is a positive cosmological constant with wx = −1 or something like it.
IL-1α mediates cellular cross-talk in the airway epithelial mesenchymal trophic unit

ABSTRACT The bronchial epithelium and underlying fibroblasts form an epithelial mesenchymal trophic unit (EMTU) which controls the airway microenvironment. We hypothesized that cell-cell communication within the EMTU propagates and amplifies the innate immune response to respiratory viral infections. EMTU co-culture models incorporating polarized (16HBE14o-) or differentiated primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) and fibroblasts were challenged with double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) or rhinovirus. In the polarized EMTU model, dsRNA affected ionic but not macromolecular permeability or cell viability. Compared with epithelial monocultures, dsRNA-stimulated pro-inflammatory mediator release was synergistically enhanced in the basolateral compartment of the EMTU model, with the exception of IL-1α which was unaffected by the presence of fibroblasts. Blockade of IL-1 signaling with IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) completely abrogated dsRNA-induced basolateral release of mediators except CXCL10. Fibroblasts were the main responders to epithelial-derived IL-1 since exogenous IL-1α induced pro-inflammatory mediator release from fibroblast but not epithelial monocultures. Our findings were confirmed in a differentiated EMTU model where rhinovirus infection of primary HBECs and fibroblasts resulted in synergistic induction of basolateral IL-6 that was significantly abrogated by IL-1Ra. This study provides the first direct evidence of integrated IL-1 signaling within the EMTU to propagate inflammatory responses to viral infection.
PersTour: A Personalized Tour Recommendation and Planning System

Touring is a popular but time-consuming activity, due to the need to identify interesting attractions or Places-of-Interest (POIs) and structure these POIs in the form of a timeconstrained tour itinerary. To solve this challenge, we propose the Personalized Tour Recommendation and Planning (PersTour) system. The PersTour system is able to plan for a customized tour itinerary where the recommended POIs and visit durations are personalized based on the tourist's interest preferences. In addition, tourists have the option to indicate their trip constraints (e.g., a preferred starting/ending location and a specific tour duration) to further customize their tour itinerary.
An XML-based Forward-Compatible Framework for Planning System Extensions and Domain Problem Specification

Real-world planning problems, e.g., planning for virtual characters in computer games, typically come with a set of very specific domain constraints that may require specialized processing, like symbolic path planning, numerical attributes, etc. These specific application requirements make it necessary for planning systems to have an extensible design. We present a framework for a planning system that recognizes planning extensions (such as new data types or structures, sensing/acting functionality, and others). The framework is designed to be forwardcompatible, exposing an XML-based domain language that allows current and future problems that use such planning extensions to be properly specified.
The Organization of Schools and the Use of Computers to Improve Schooling.

In the book, July 20, 2019: Life in the Twenty-First Century, well-known science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke (1986) offers his predictions about what schools will be like in the year 2019. He chose July 20, 2019 as the focal point for his book since that date is fifty years after Neil Armstrong took the "one small step" which began the era of space exploration. Clarke contends that electronic technology will revolutionize schools, and he provides many colorful examples of the ways that this will happen. He foresees a pervasiveness of electronic systems in the delivery of instruction which will cause fundamental changes in what is taught and how it is taught in schools. Clarke is not alone. Many others have made similar predictions about the effect of electronic technology in shaping the schools of the future. Many of those who write and speak in this vein often assume that the impact of computers and associated technologies is inevitable. Perkins (1985) refers to this as the "opportunities get taken hypothesis," which maintains that the potential offered by technology will be seized upon in the normal course of affairs as individuals come to understand what the

Metacoverage of Mediated Wars

Metacoverage is understood as a discursive outcome of structural mediatization processes in modern media wars. It is defined as news stories that report on war topics in their connection to the role of news journalism or political public relations. A content analysis of press coverage on the last two Gulf Wars shows that journalists used four frames to describe the role of the news media and of military news management; these frames are called conduit, strategy, personalization, and accountability . Five leading newspapers from Germany, chosen for their detached stance in both international conflicts, displayed a marked increase in metacoverage from the first Iraq war, in 1991, compared with the second, in 2003. Journalists tended to write themselves into the story more often and portrayed the news media involvement in increasingly more active terms. Although the news media were presented as a consequential protagonist (strategy frame), their coverage also endeavored to assist citizens to reach an educated judgment on the relationship of war and media (accountability frame). Consequences for political communication and public diplomacy are discussed.
Modelling of mixed chemostat cultures of an aerobic bacterium, Comamonas testosteroni, and an anaerobic bacterium, Veillonella alcalescens: comparison with experimental data

A mathematical model of mixed chemostat cultures of the obligately aerobic bacterium Comamonas testosteroni and the anaerobic bacterium Veillonella alcalescens grown under dual limitation of L-lactate and oxygen was constructed. The model was based on Michaelis-Menten-type kinetics for the consumption of substrates, with noncompetitive inhibition of V. alcalescens by O2. The growth characteristics of the aerobic and anaerobic organisms were determined experimentally with pure cultures of the individual species in (oxygen-limited) chemostats. Using these pure-culture data in the model of the mixed culture resulted in a good description of the actual mixed cultures of the two bacteria. In the actual mixed-culture experiments, coexistence of the two species occurred only when the cultures were oxygen limited. With increasing oxygen supply (the actual oxygen concentration in the culture remaining at less than 0.2 microM), the biomass of C. testosteroni increased, whereas that of V. alcalescens decreased. Apparently, C. testosteroni protected V. alcalescens from inhibition by oxygen by maintaining sufficiently low oxygen concentrations. The model calculations indicated that competition between the aerobic and the anaerobic bacterium for common substrates (L-lactate and oxygen) occurred and that the anaerobe was the better competitor. Analysis of the culture fluid indicated that C. testosteroni grew primarily at the expense of the fermentation products of V. alcalescens, i.e., propionate and acetate. The model further indicated that with different values of several growth parameters (e.g., substrate affinity and/or inhibition constants), the affinity of the aerobic organism for oxygen and the sensitivity of the anaerobic organism for oxygen were the most important properties determining the coexistence of these two physiologically different types of bacteria.
The Assessment of Preference for Balance: Introducing a New Test

Balance is a central feature that contributes to the organizational structure of aesthetic visual images. Balance gives unity to an otherwise diverse display. Dynamic balance refers to the way in which disparate elements of an image produce visual forces that compensate for each other. Despite the importance of balance on aesthetic perception and production, few tests are designed to assess sensitivity or preference for this important attribute of images. Here, we introduce the assessment of preference for balance (APB) and report a method to derive an objective balance score. In selecting items for this test, we eliminated images that produce local grouping effects and confound assessment of the effects of dynamic balance per se. Our final test constitutes 130 images comprised of circles or hexagon elements. The objective balance scores accounted for 73% and 78% of the variance, respectively, in subjective preferences for these images.
Power Electronic Converters in DC Microgrid

Some specialists claim that present power systems come to the end. The first of all reason is fossil fuels run low. One of the solutions allows avoiding the problem is local balancing of power production and power demand. The easiest to reach local non fossil carriers are wind, sun and water and biomass energy. But they are unstable and it is very hard to produce stable power from them. Microglia's were developed to solve the problem. The microgrid is small power system composed of power plants, controlled and uncontrolled loads and control system (just like in classic, huge power system). Because microgrid is rather small it has to be an automatic and operate without any staff. Hence, many electronic devices are necessary. First of all these are power plants controllers. The plants using in the microgrid are electronic devices. Also some loads are connected through electronic connection units. Power electronic converters are the most important part of both plants and connections. The paper discusses some problems of power electronic converters in author's DC microgrid. The converters are divided into groups depending of their destination. The main groups are presented in more details.
The Tragic Shootings at Virginia Tech: Personal Perspectives, Prospects, and Preventive Potentials:

This discussion article reviews events and personal reactions following the mass killing at Virginia Tech that took the lives of 27 students and 5 professors, while injuring 29 more, on April 16, 2007. A positive view is attempted by exemplifying incredible campus leadership and resolve throughout the painful aftermath, as well as “reaching-out” communication revealing worldwide concern and compassion. The implementation of certain intervention strategies to increase proactive interpersonal communication for safety, security, and human welfare is advocated to prevent similar catastrophes. The author calls this intervention focus “actively caring,” and discusses ways to increase the quantity and quality of this behavior, as gleaned from empirical research and industry-based applications. It is hoped that this presentation will activate relevant conversations, action plans, and research proposals.
