Enhanced Authentication and Key Agreement Procedureof Next Generation 3GPP Mobile Networks

In the next generation mobile networks, because of fundamental changes with respect to previous cellular 3.xG networks and integration different access network which caused frequent handover and provision all IP packet-based services, load transaction overhead such as authentication traffic overhead as an important initial security process to identity of users, between entities are a lot. In this research first explain evolved authentication and key agreement protocol for next generation Long term evolution/ System Architecture Evolution( LTE/SAE )networks and compared its enhancements with contrast to Universal Mobile Terrestrial SystemAuthentication and Key Agreement( UMTS-AKA), then, offers a new improvement protocol which increases performance of authentication procedure. The current 3GPP LTE –AKA has some shortcomings, including bandwidth consumption between a serving networks and a user’s home network, computation overhead and imperfect mutual authentication. in fact the new proposed protocol by sharing serving network with Home Subscription Server(HSS) for execution of authentication procedure and increasing a little computation in Mobility Management Entity(MME) and generated joined authentication vectors in both MME and HSS can remove aforementioned problems during authentication process. The proposed scheme is analyzed and its advantages have been verified by simulation. Our new proposed protocol can satisfy security requirements and simulation result shows in the proposed-AKA with contrast to original-AKA, the more MS and service request rate, the more considerable deduction of authentication load for HSS.
GLUCAGON ANTIBODIES AND AN IMMUNOASSAY FOR GLUCAGON blood of man and dog

Despite extensive knowledge of the amino acid composition of beef-pork glucagon, and of the physiologic changes induced by its administration to animals and man, the role of glucagon in the homeostatic regulation of blood glucose level in normal and abnormal states remains to be defined. This fundamental gap in knowledge is the result of the lack of a method sufficiently specific and sensitive to measure endogenous glucagon in body fluids. Previous efforts to assay glucagon in plasma have been based upon ability to produce either hyperglycemia in a living animal (1-3), glycogenolysis in liver slices (4), or phosphorylase activation in liver homogenates (5). There is reason to doubt the specificity of the plasma glucagon-like activity detectable by such methods (6), and their status is at present in question. The greater specificity inherent in immunoassays (7), coupled with the unprecedented sensitivity provided by the paper radiochromato-electrophoretic techniques of Berson and co-workers (8) suggested that a radio-immunoassay for glucagon might provide a hitherto unequaled range of specific measurements. In a preliminary report, the antigenicity of beef-pork glucagon in rabbits was recorded and the feasibility of a radioimmunoassay for glucagon demonstrated (9). The development by Berson and Yalow of a radio-immunoassay for insulin of remarkable sensitivity and specificity (10, 11) has validated this approach to problems of peptide hormone assay. In the following report the antigenicity of glucagon is demonstrated, glucagon antibodies are

Chromatic aberration free reflective mirror-based optical system design for multispectral photoacoustic instruments

BACKGROUND: Current multispectral photoacoustic instruments must use large and separate combinational structures to obtain various biological tissue information for multispectral ranges. OBJECTIVE: The optical aberration generated from the multispectral photoacoustic systems may reduce the image quality of biological tissue because the improper structures for combining light of different wavelength cannot produce good optical ray convergence points. To prevent this, complex combined structures need to be considered at the design level for multispectral photoacoustic systems. METHODS: In place of an optical refracted lens system, reflective mirrors could be designed for optical systems. To verify our proposed idea, we assessed optical distortion performance using red, green, and blue light, and combined optical light sources to compare their chromatic aberration characteristics. RESULTS: The high optical performance is realized regardless of the wavelength for a light source combined with multiple wavelengths, because our optical system was designed with only a reflective surface. CONCLUSIONS: The designed optical system using a reflective mirror can provide multispectral optical sources (such as infrared, visible, and ultraviolet optical lights) with only one light ray path, without any chromatic aberrations.
4 NOREPINEPHRINE

This chapter reviews findings from basic research concerning brain norepinephrine (NE) systems. The focus is on work that is relevant to the mechanisms of psychiatric disorders, or the actions of drugs used to treat such disorders. The locus ceruleus (LC) system receives most of the attention here, but recent findings concerning the role of the A2/ A1 medullary cell groups in drug abuse are also reviewed. Emphasis is placed on studies published since the last version of this volume. Space limitations prevent a thorough review of the involvement of any brain NE system in mental function and dysfunction, so that only a fraction of the relevant research can be covered. Apologies are offered to those whose work could not be included.
Comparison of support vector machines based on particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm in sleep staging

BACKGROUND: Heart rate variability (HRV) can reflect the relationship between heart rhythm and sleep structure. OBJECTIVE: In order to study the effect of support vector machine (SVM) on the results of automatic sleep staging and improve the effectiveness of heart rate variability (HRV) as a sleep structure biomarker, thereby realize long term and non-contact monitoring of sleep quality. METHODS: Two kinds of parameter optimization methods are applied to stage sleep experiments when the known SVM can be used for automatic sleep staging. By factor analysis of the time domain, frequency domain, and nonlinear dynamic characteristics of subjects’ HRV signals, the accuracy of the cross-validation method (K-CV) is used as the fitness function value in genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Furthermore, GA and PSO are used to optimize the SVM parameters. RESULTS: The results show that the accuracy rate of sleep stage is 64.44% when parameters are not optimized, the accuracy rate based on PSO is improved to 78.89% and the accuracy rate based on GA is improved to 84.44%. CONCLUSION: Both optimization algorithms can improve the accuracy of SVM for sleep staging and better results based on GA in the experiment.

A Fond Farewell to Karl Hedrick and a Welcome to Samer Madanat California PATH Change of Leadership :

continued on page 15 S erving as the Director of PATH for the past six years has been a very rewarding experience for me. I took over immediately after DEMO’97 from Professor Pravin Varaiya who had led PATH during the years of the NAHSC (National Automated Highway Systems Consortia). We faced some very difficult times after the demise of the NAHSC but were able to maintain our position as the leading international research institute in vehicle automation while greatly expanding our role in traffic management and information. Pat Conroy and later Hamed Benouar led this initiative and worked closely with Caltrans to apply ITS to the states transportation problems. I am very happy to turn over the reigns of PATH to Professor Samer Madanat. He has had a very successful career as transportation academic in our Civil and Environmental Engineering’s Transportation group. After obtaining his PhD from MIT in 1988 he joined the faculty at Purdue University and finally joined the Berkeley faculty in 1996. His area of research is in transportation systems analysis and infrastructure management. He has worked closely with both the US Department of Transportation and Caltrans. He has an exciting vision for PATH and the energy and enthusiasm to make it happen. I look forward to continue working with Samer and to help him in any way I can to make his vision come true.  A Word from Karl Hedrick A Word from Samer Madanat The New PATH: Moving Research into Field Operational Tests
A Platform For Automatically Generating Personalized User Interfaces

I am broadly interested in human computer interaction, machine learning and artificial intelligence. My dissertation demonstrates how to automatically generate personalized adaptive user interfaces. My central thesis is that personalized user interfaces, which are adapted to a person’s devices, tasks, preferences and abilities, can improve user satisfaction and performance. Further, I demonstrate that automatic generation of personalized user interfaces is computationally feasible. In my dissertation work, I developed three systems to enable a broad range of personalized adaptive interfaces: SUPPLE, which uses decision-theoretic optimization to automatically generate user interfaces adapted to a person’s device and usage pattern; ARNAULD, which allows optimization-based systems to be adapted to users’ preferences; and SUPPLE++, a system that first performs a one-time assessment of a person’s motor abilities and then automatically generates user interfaces adapted to that user’s abilities. The results of my laboratory experiments show that these automatically-generated, ability-based user interfaces significantly improve speed, accuracy and satisfaction of users with motor impairments compared to manufacturers’ defaults. I also provide the first characterization of the design space of adaptive graphical user interfaces, and demonstrate how such interfaces can significantly improve the quality and efficiency of daily interactions for typical users.

Bioactivity of Rumex obtusifolius (Polygonaceae)

Rumex obtusifolius L. (Polygonaceae), commonly known as 'broad-leaf dock', is one of the most common Irish wayside weeds, and it also occurs in silage fields, on river banks, in ditches and on waste grounds. The ethnobotanical uses of this species include its use as an antidote to nettle, depurative, astringent, laxative, and tonic, and in the treatment of sores, blisters, burns, cancer and tumors. The bioactivities of n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol (MeOH) extracts of the leaves of R. obtusifolius were assessed using the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the newly developed micro-titer-based antimicrobial assay incorporating resazurin as an indicator of cell growth, and the brine shrimp lethality assay. The most potent free radical scavenging activity was displayed by the MeOH extract with a RC50 value of 7.80 x 10 -2 mg/mL. Among the fractions obtained from solid-phase extraction (SPE) of the MeOH extract, the 50% aqueous methanolic SPE fraction exhibited the highest levels of free radical scavenging property (RC50 = 1.05 x 10 -2 mg/mL). While the n-hexane extract did not show any antibacterial activity at test concentrations, the DCM extract was active only against Escherichia coli. However, the MeOH extract as well as the 50% and 80% SPE fractions of the MeOH extract showed significant antibacterial property against all bacterial strains tested. None of the extracts or fractions exhibited any significant toxicity towards brine shrimps.
Dynamics of a Simulated North American Monsoon Gulf Surge Event

AbstractGulf surges are transient disturbances that propagate along the Gulf of California (GoC) from south to north, transporting cool moist air toward the deserts of northwest Mexico and the southwest United States during the North American monsoon. They have been shown to modulate precipitation and have been linked to severe weather and flooding in northern Mexico and the southwest United States. The general features and progression of surge events are well documented but their detailed dynamical evolution is still unclear. In this study, a convection-permitting simulation is performed over the core monsoon region for the 12–14 July 2004 gulf surge event and the dynamics of the simulated surge are examined. Initially, convection associated with the tropical easterly wave precursor to Tropical Cyclone Blas creates a disturbance in the southern GoC on early 12 July. This disturbance is a precursor to the gulf surge on 13 July and is a Kelvin shock (internal bore under the influence of rotation) that diss.

The first two years of independence in Kosovo: Links between political systems and business enterprises

Systems theory is used to study the relationship between political systems and business enterprises in the new, developing country of Kosovo. Media reports from the first two years of independence are examined to determine how politics impacts business and vice versa. The study found that external conflict has impact on business and commerce appears to be highly dependent on the political system. This would suggest that the connection between the political system and business enterprises is more important in a new, developing country like Kosovo. Two of the authors are lecturers at the University for Business and Technology in Pristina (UBT), Kosovo.

Decisions by Rules: The Case of Unwillingness to Pay for Beneficial Delays

Since the emergence of neoclassical economics, individual decision making has been viewed largely from an outcome-maximizing perspective. Building on previous work, the authors suggest that when people make payment decisions, they consider not only their preferences for different alternatives but also guiding principles and behavioral rules. The authors describe and test two characteristics pertaining to one specific rule that dictates that consumers should not pay for delays, even if they are beneficial: rule invocation and rule override. The results show that money can function as the invoking cue for this rule, that the reliance on this rule can undermine utility maximization, and that this rule may be used as a first response to the decision problem but can be overridden. The article concludes with a discussion of more general applications of such rules, which may explain some of the seemingly systematic inconsistencies in the ways consumers behave.
Continuous-Curvature Bounded Trajectory Planning Using Parametric Splines

This paper investigates trajectory generation for curvature continuous paths. A car-like wheeled robot platform is considered. Planning is performed using a single B-spline curve that maintains continuity through the path. Constraints such as bounded curvature, velocity, and acceleration limits are considered. We minimize the traversal time while maintaining continuity and obeying the robot's constraints. Simulation experiments were successfully conducted to verify the efficiency and robustness of this approach.
Multi-method longitudinal assessment of transferrable intellectual learning outcomes

This paper describes the first phase of a four-year longitudinal study of transferable intellectual learning outcomes at a research-intensive university in Canada. These skills, including critical thinking, problem solving, communication and lifelong learning, are the subject of discussion in higher education generally (e.g. the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) Essential Learning Outcomes) and engineering in the form of accreditation requirements. The project is using multiple methods to assess the development of these skills in engineering, humanities, physical science, and social science sectors. The first year of the study which involved a double cross-sectional assessment of first and fourth year undergraduate students using standardized tests, meta-rubrics used to score course artefacts, and a learning orientation instrument. Interim results are showing significant development of transferable intellectual skills from first to fourth year, with significant differences between instruments in cost, alignment, and participation rates.
