PTP Approach in Network Security for Misbehavior Detection

— A PTP approach in network security for misbehavior detection system present a method for detecting malicious misbehavior activity within networks. Along with the detection, it also blocks the malicious system within the network and adds it to Blacklist. Malicious node defined as a compromised machine within the network that performs the task provided by bot server i.e. it does not forward the legitimate message to another node in the network or send some other message to a neighbor node. This system is based on Probabilistic threat propagation. This scheme is used in graph analysis for community detection. The proposed system enhances the prior community detection work by propagating threat probabilities across graph nodes. To demonstrate Probabilistic Threat Propagation (PTP) paper considers the task of detecting malicious node in the network. Proposed System also shows the relationship between PTP and loopy belief propagation.
Semi-Autonomous Planning and Visualization in Virtual Reality

Virtual reality (VR) interfaces for robots provide a three-dimensional (3D) view of the robot in its environment, which allows people to better plan complex robot movements in tight or cluttered spaces. In our prior work, we created a VR interface to allow for the teleoperation of a humanoid robot. As detailed in this paper, we have now focused on a human-in-the-loop planner where the operator can send higher level manipulation and navigation goals in VR through Functional Waypoints, visualize the results of a robot planner in the 3D virtual space, and then deny, alter or confirm the plan to send to the robot. In addition, we have adapted our interface to also work for a mobile manipulation robot in addition to the humanoid robot.

Pythagorean fuzzification and defuzzification functions

This paper addresses the concept of Pythagorean fuzziﬁcation and defuzziﬁcation. It is the process of converting crisp quantity into a Pythagorean fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set into crisp respectively. While various method for the fuzziﬁcation and defuzziﬁcation of fuzzy sets and Intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been devised no such idea has been found in the case of Pythagorean fuzzy sets. An attempt has been made to introduce various type of Pythagorean fuzziﬁcation and defuzziﬁcation functions which will be more useful in modeling real world situations in Pythagorean fuzzy environment.
Diagnostic accuracy and predictive value of clinical symptoms for the diagnosis of mild COVID 19

Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of clinical symptoms and their predictive values in patients with suspected mild COVID 19 and to identify target groups for self isolation and outpatient treatment without additional testing in the primary health care system. Methods We conducted an open label prospective study in both male and female patients aged 18 to 72 years with suspected mild COVID 19 who were sequentially enrolled in the study. The clinical diagnosis was performed in accordance with the WHO recommendations based on the acute onset of such symptoms as olfactory dysfunction, hyperthermia, myalgia, nasal congestion, nasal discharge, cough, rhinolalia, sore throat, without pneumonia or hypoxia in persons in contact with a confirmed case of COVID 19. The physician assessed clinical symptoms using a 4-point scale. The patient self-assessed clinical symptoms using a ten point visual analogue scale (VAS). All enrolled patients underwent laboratory testing to confirm the diagnosis of COVID 19. Results Of the 120 patients underwent testing, the diagnosis of mild COVID 19 was confirmed in 96 patients and ruled out in 24 patients. When assessing symptoms by a physician according to the correlation analysis, hyperthermia, myalgia, nasal congestion and rhinolalia have a positive predictive value with a significance level of more than 0.6. When self-assessing symptoms by a patient, fever, myalgia and nasal congestion have a diagnostic accuracy with a significance level of more than 0.5. Nasal discharge, cough and sore throat have negative predictive values. Discussion The presence of these symptoms in patients with an acute onset of the disease can help to make a clinical diagnosis of coronavirus disease and identify target groups for self-isolation and outpatient treatment without additional testing. Highly suspect asymptomatic patients are not considered as those who have possible mild COVID 19 infection. Keywords: diagnostic accuracy, predictive values, COVID 19, symptom

Jet Noise Measurements of an Installed GE F404 Engine

This paper describes noise measurements taken of the new Boeing T-7A Red Hawk trainer aircraft, which uses a single F404 afterburning turbofan engine. The extensive measurement satisfies the American National Standards Institute/Acoustical Society of America standard S12.75-2012 for ground run-up for future environmental impact assessment and includes additional locations around the aircraft to understand exposure by maintenance personnel. A large near-field array was also deployed to shed light on phenomena that are not generally seen in themeasurement of laboratory-scale jets, such as the presence of spatiospectral lobes. Initial data analysis shows they are of high fidelity and contain similar phenomena as other recent high-performance jet aircraft noise measurements, including evidence of large and fine-scale noise radiation, broadband shock-associated noise, spatiospectral lobing at multiple engine powers, an upstream shifting of overall level directivity with engine power, and appreciable shock content in the measured waveforms. Further analysis of this dataset will add to the understanding of full-scale, high-speed jet noise and allow comparisons to similar numerical simulations and laboratory-scale measurements.

Internal marketing and service quality in Jordanian Hotels

Jordanian tourist hotels are a booming company with a wide cultural diversity , especially in Amman. Attractive investment opportunities in these companies have attracted millions of dollars. Over 70 tourist hotels were, for example, inaugurated in Jordan in 2019. Most of Jordan's tourist hotels are locally owned in Amman and are international in nature. Hotels in Jordan use different strategies for managing human capital to attract, teach, retain and hire qualified personnel to enhance their quality of service. This paper is aimed at exploring the empirical model for internal marketing (IM) and internal quality of service (ISQ) hotels based in Jordan. In an organised and self-administered survey, target managers and employees of Jordanian hotels were chosen. A jury of 300 owners and employees participated in the interview. A variety of analyses of exploratory and confirmative factors were used to assess the scale, unidimensionality, relevance and reliability of the study systems. 'internal purchasers' (employees) have 'job expectations' which should be met to meet the requirements of external clients. The IM and ISQ components were investigated in hotels in tourist destinations. Administrators and administrators will use the study findings to improve their IM and ISQ methods to achieve practical organisational goals. This is the first study to explore the linkages between IM and ISQ in hotels. Managers may benefit from the results of their studies by designing IM and ISQ methods to achieve long-term business goals. Jordan's tourism industry now has reliable empirical evidence on the two key concepts, IM and ISQ.
Conductive Mesocellular Silica–Carbon Nanocomposite Foams for Immobilization, Direct Electrochemistry, and Biosensing of Proteins

A mesocellular silica–carbon nanocomposite foam (MSCF) is designed for the immobilization and biosensing of proteins. The as‐prepared MSCF has a highly ordered mesostructure, good biocompatibility, favorable conductivity and hydrophilicity, large surface area, and a narrow pore‐size distribution, as verified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), IR spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, pore size distribution plots, and water contact angle measurements. Using glucose oxidase (GOD) as a model, the MSCF is tested for immobilization of redox proteins and the design of electrochemical biosensors. GOD molecules immobilized in the mesopores of the MSCF show direct electrochemistry with a fast electron transfer rate (14.0 ± 1.7 s–1) and good electrochemical performance. Based on a decrease of the electrocatalytic response of the reduced form of GOD to dissolved oxygen, the proposed biosensor exhibits a linear response to glucose concentrations ranging from 50 μM to 5.0 mM with a detection limit of 34 μM at an applied potential of –0.4 V. The biosensor shows good stability and selectivity and is able to exclude interference from ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) species that always coexist with glucose in real samples. The nanocomposite foam provides a good matrix for protein immobilization and biosensor preparation.
Planar automaton accepting Le-diagram, alternative tableaux

Here we focus on the construction of the planar automatons accepting two types of tableaux, namely, Le-diagrams and alternative tableaux. Then we associate a quadratic algebra Q with the constructed planar automaton and then by redeﬁning the transition function by giving distinct labeling for distinct terms of the rewriting rule we get Q-tableaux. Finally, we give the proof of the equivalence between the tableaux accepting a planar automaton and Q-tableaux obtained, where the equivalence is given by Xavier Viennot in [8].
Using question-speciﬁc vocabularies with Salaam to support speech data collection

Research suggests that voice-based systems may seem to be the only practical option for self-completion surveys in developing regions where a substantial proportion of respondents are illiterate. Voice user interfaces cater for the information needs of speakers of low-resource languages, whether or not these languages have a formal writing script. However, the language resources needed to train speech recognition engines are either limited or completely non-existent for languages in Africa. Historically, the process to obtain or construct new language resources is also long and costly. In spite of this, techniques have been developed that enable a speech recognition engine from a high resource and well-trained language to be used for speech recognition in a new low-resource language by leveraging the similarity of sounds between the two languages. Presented here are our on going efforts to establish the limitations and suitability of using this technique to support speech data collection in rural Zambia with a focus on Bantu languages.
Involving End-Users in HCI Education: A Case Study and Steps Forward

Users are at the core of HCI — they are the focus of our designs, evaluations, and HCI pedagogy; however, limited research exists on how HCI/design students engage with end user populations in their coursework. In our CHI’20 paper, we provide a case study of a graduate-level HCI/design course working with children to co-design an interactive STEM learning experience. Our findings highlight communication strategies and challenges, power dynamic issues, and the students perceived value in engaging with users. In this workshop paper, we first summarize our CHI’20 research and then outline key pedagogical and process changes made to the next course offering. We close by describing initial observations between the 2019 and 2020 course. This ongoing research contributes empirical evidence of how HCI students directly interact with users in a formal course context, principles for reflective pedagogy, and the need for more intentional investigation into HCI educational practice.
Adjustable Hydrophobicity of Al Substrates by Chemical Surface Functionalization of Nano/Microstructures

Superhydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces may arise due to interplay between nano/microstructures at the solid surface and the chemical properties of the topmost monolayer. In the present work, those relationships were investigated by Al substrate modifications via chemical functionalization with trimethoxypropylsilane dipping, and coating with a thin perfluorinated layer. The effect of the nano/micromorphology on the superhydrophobicity and hysteresis was studied using two main approaches: (i) chemical etching of Al substrates and chemical surface functionalization and (ii) anodic aluminum oxide template (nanoporous) generated on the etched Al substrates and functionalization as in approach i. The physical and chemical properties of the treated substrates were evaluated using water contact angle (WCA) and scanning electron microscopy and by chemical surface-sensitive techniques. The fabricated synthetic surface by approach i was superhydrophobic with a hysteresis of ∼17°. Samples prepared by approach i.
Thermoanalytical Investigations on the Effect of Atmospheric Oxygen on HTPB resin

Des etudes TG-DSC realisees dans une atmosphere d'air ou d'azote sur des polybutadienes a terminaison hydroxy (HTPB) ont montre trois transitions qui ont entraine (1) un pic DSC exotherme et une augmentation de la masse lors de la TG a 170°C-240°C, seulement dans l'air, (2) un pic exotherme et une faible perte de masse dans l'air ainsi que dans l'azote, causes par la depolarisation, la cyclisation et la reticulation, et (3) une perte de masse due a la pyrolyse dans l'azote ou la combustion dans l'air, ce qui se traduit respectivement par un pic endotherme et un pic exotherme aigu dans les deux atmospheres. L'analyse FTIR des produits isoles lors de la TG a l'issue de l'augmentation de masse revele que de l'oxygene a ete ajoute a la structure butadiene. Les parametres d'activation d'Arrhenius (E et A) ont ete calcules pour l'addition exotherme d'oxygene. La methode selon Ozawa amelioree par l'equation d'approximation a deux termes pour la fonction p(x) (d'apres VSSC) a donne des resultats tout a fait comparables a ceux obtenus par la methode Kissinger.
Influence of Different Thawing Methods on Physico-chemical and Microbiological Characteristics of Broiler Chicken Meat

Low temperature storage is the most common method used for meat and meat products preservation. However, some quality changes will still take place during freezing, frozen storage and thawing, especially texture, flavour and colour due to osmotic removal of water, oxidation of protein and fat, myosin denaturation and mechanical damage (Benjakul et al., 2003). Scientifically meat refrigeration process has been done by reducing the temperature of the meat to a value below which the rate of bacterial growth is either severely slowed (chilling) or stopped (freezing). Freezer storage is an excellent method of meat preservation than chilling process. The length of time meat samples are held at frozen storage also determines product quality. Freezing reduces enzyme activity in meat and stops the growth of bacteria and molds and therefore the quality of the meat is retained longer, as compared to freezing cooked meat or poultry. When frozen meat is thawed, much of the original moisture found in the meat is lost as purge (juices that flow from the meat). A good thawing regime is one that minimizes process time, microbial growth risks, drip loss, and other quality losses.

On the tuning of plateaus in atmospheric and oceanic 14C records to derive calendar chronologies of deep-sea cores and records of 14C marine reservoir age changes

Abstract. As an extended comment on the paper by Sarnthein et al. (2020), we express strong reservations about the methodology of the so-called 14C plateau tuning (PT) technique used to date marine sediment records and its implications on the determination of 14C marine reservoir ages (MRA). The main problems are linked to: the assumption of constant MRA during 14C-age plateaus; the lack of consideration of foraminifera abundance changes coupled to bioturbation that can create spurious plateaus in marine sediments; the assumption that plateaus have the same shapes and durations in atmospheric and oceanic records; the implication that atmospheric 14C/12C peaked instantaneously from one plateau to the next; that the 14C plateaus represent 82 % of the total time spent between 14,000 and 29,000 cal yr BP, whereas during the remaining 18 % of the time, the radiocarbon clock was running almost 5 times too fast; that the sparsity, combined with the level of analytical uncertainties and additional noise, in both atmospheric and marine data do not currently allow one to reliably or robustly identify plateaus (should they exist) beyond 15,000 cal yr BP; and that the determination and identification of plateaus is reliant upon significant changes in sedimentation rate within the marine sediments which are, a priori, unknown and are not verified with an independent method. The concerns we raise are supported and strengthened with carbon cycle box-model experiments and statistical simulations of pseudo-atmospheric and pseudo-marine records, allowing us to test the ability to identify and tune 14C-age plateaus, in the context of noisy and sparse data.
Blue Carbon Stocks and Exchanges Along the Pacific West 1 Coast 2 3

1Bodega Marine Laboratory, University of California, Davis, 95616, USA 8 2San Diego State University, 92182, USA 9 3Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, 04544, USA 10 4University of California, Santa Cruz, 95064, USA 11 12 13 Abstract. Salt marshes and seagrass meadows can sequester and store high quantities of organic 14 carbon (OC) in their sediments relative to other marine and terrestrial habitats. Assessing carbon 15 stocks, carbon sources, and the transfer of carbon between habitats within coastal seascapes are 16 each integral in identifying the role of blue carbon habitats in coastal carbon cycling. Here, we 17 quantified carbon stocks, sources, and exchanges in seagrass meadows, salt marshes, and 18 unvegetated sediments in six bays along the Pacific coast of California. The salt marshes studied 19 here contained approximately twice as much OC as did seagrass meadows, 23.51 ± 1.77 kg OC 20 m-3 compared to 11.01 ± 1.18 kg OC m-3, respectively. Both seagrass and salt marsh sediment 21 carbon stocks were higher than previous estimates from this region but lower than global and 22 U.S.-wide averages, respectively. Seagrass-derived carbon was deposited annually into adjacent 23 marshes during fall seagrass senescence. However, isotope mixing models estimate that 24 negligible amounts of this seagrass material were ultimately buried in underlying sediment. 25 Rather, the vast majority of OC in sediment across sites was likely derived from 26 planktonic/benthic diatoms and C3 salt marsh plants. 27 28

Graphene nanosheets supporting Ru nanoparticles with controlled nanoarchitectures form a high-performance catalyst for COx-free hydrogen production from ammonia

To date, Ru is the most active single-metal catalyst known for ammonia decomposition, but its catalytic activity is support-dependent and structure-sensitive. Therefore, a unique support-anchored Ru nanoparticle with controllable size and morphology would be particularly important for high catalytic performance. In this work, we describe Ru nanoparticles supported by two-dimensional graphene nanosheets with a controlled nanoarchitecture that forms a novel composite catalyst that is capable of a high degree of ammonia decomposition. This high-quality Ru/graphene nanocomposite material was obtained via a cosolvent method (CS-Ru/graphene), in which ethylene glycol simultaneously acted as a solvent and a reductant, while water served only as a cosolvent. The abundant oxygen-containing functional groups of graphene oxide played extremely important roles in the growth of Ru nanoparticles on the resultant graphene nanosheets, as they promoted Ru nucleation and acted as anchor sites for the Ru nanoparticles. Moreover, the use of water as a cosolvent was an effective way to tune the Ru particle size and morphology and aid in the loading of the nanocomposite, resulting in dramatically enhanced catalytic activity in comparison with a composite prepared by using ethylene glycol as a single solvent (SS-Ru/graphene). The exceptional catalytic performance of CS-Ru/graphene was mainly ascribed to the novel graphene support that simultaneously combines a large specific surface area with excellent electronic conductivity, but also to the highly dispersive Ru nanoparticles that made up the nanocomposite with a controlled morphology and an optimal size.
SMALL DEGENERATE SIMPLICES CAN BE BAD FOR SIMPLEX METHODS

We show that the simplex method with Dantzig’s pivoting rule may require an exponential number of iterations over two highly degenerate instances. The feasible region of the first instance is a full dimensional simplex, and a single point for the second one. In addition, the entries of the constraint matrix, the right-hand-side vector, and the cost vector are {0, 1, 2}-valued. Those instances, with few vertices and small input data length, illustrate the impact of degeneracy on simplex methods.
