Using vibrational spectroscopy to analyse the effect of environmental aging on gel pen inks

Document examinations are vitally important for fraudulent investigations. During a forensic document examination, one of the major questions which arises for the examiner is: when was an ink entry made on a document? During the past half century there has been a large development in the analysis in pen inks, including the introduction of new techniques and development of methods such as the ink library approach and hyphenated chromatography. Attenuated Total Reflectance – Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) is a rapid and non-destructive technique that can objectively profile molecular changes within ink applied to document. The aim of this study is to determine whether infrared spectroscopy can be used to calculate the age of a gel pen ink and therefore how much time has passed between an ink sample being written on a piece of paper and the sample being analysed. ATR-FTIR was used during this study as a rapid and non-destructive technique allowing multiple spectra to be produced in a short space of time, while not causing destruction to the sample. The paper used to write ink samples on for the aging study was analysed to show consistent spectra between sheets of a single ream. This analysis was vital to determine whether all of the ink samples were to be produced onto paper which would produce the same or different spectra. As the paper provides the same spectra these differences do not need to be considered when conducting analysis between aging inks. The ink samples analysed through the drying study took 10 minutes to dry after being produced. This time frame was used as knowledge for how long the ink sample should be allowed to dry prior to the spectrum for the ink sample being first taken as a reference point on day 0. Through examinations, spectral peaks at 929.51cm-1 and 1348cm-1 from second derivatised data were established as the most discriminative wavenumbers for ink spectra and used as the major point of referencing ink aging. Evidence for gel pen ink aging is demonstrated from spectral data and group scatter plot correlations. Spectral data at the highly discriminating wavenumbers demonstrates differences between spectra for different lengths of aging. Correlations of ink aging are present in group scatter plots. Despite a non-linear correlation between the specific time periods, correlation are detectable over ranges of time with the major occurrence of aging present between the time periods of 4 weeks and 7 weeks. Overall, this study presents evidence that aging of a gel pen ink can be demonstrated by the use of Attenuated Total Reflectance – Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.
Laparoscopic nephrectomy via the retroperitoneal approach.

PURPOSE We evaluated efficacy of the retroperitoneal approach for laparoscopic nephrectomy of kidneys with benign disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight men and 12 women (mean age 55 years) with severely damaged kidneys underwent laparoscopic retroperitoneal nephrectomy. One patient had a history of multiple open abdominal and gynecological operations. Kidneys were removed laparoscopically from the working space, which was created by finger and balloon dissection, and maintained by carbon dioxide insufflation in the retroperitoneal cavity. RESULTS All kidneys were removed successfully via this procedure. Mean operative time was 3.3 hours and mean estimated blood loss was 135 ml. One patient experienced bleeding from the injured capsular artery just after removal of the kidney. CONCLUSIONS The retroperitoneal approach is recommended for laparoscopic nephrectomy.
PrOnto: Privacy Ontology for Legal Compliance

This paper introduces PrOnto, a legal ontology of the GDPR1 with the goal of providing a legal knowledge modelling of its conceptual cores: privacy agents, data types, types of processing operations, rights and obligations. This recently introduced Regulation places upon entities that process personal data the obligation of assessing the risks they could encounter and of adapting their duties on the basis of the impact assessment , including specific measures that intend to safeguard the data subject's human dignity and fundamental rights. In this paper, we argue and show how legal compliance and privacy-by-design can be supported and eased by Semantic web technologies and legal reasoning tools. A specific focus is placed on the Risk Analysis ontological module: we intend to demonstrate that PrOnto is capable of supporting compliance checking between risks and measures. The methodology used here is based on legal theory analysis joined with ontological patterns.
Network Topology Analysis and Internet Modelling with NEM

Abstract The design of network protocols is greatly accelerated by the use of simulators, particularly when studying a protocol's behaviour in a large internetwork topology. However, the accuracy of the simulation results is heavily affected by the input network topology. As taking a real map as an input is not always feasible, artificially created topologies are often used. There exist many network topology generators available, but recent discoveries on Internet topology have made most of them obsolete when it comes to modelling a typical part of the Internet. This paper presents a free open-source software designed for network topology analysis and modelling called network manipulator (Nem). It is capable of creating realistic Internet-like topologies and can check proof them on the fly by a thorough topology analysis. The paper especially focuses on the architecture and the capabilities of the software.
Optical tomography: Development of a new medical imaging modality

The demonstrated success of near-infrared spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool in medicine has encouraged physicists to pursue the development of an imaging technique based on the transmittance of optical wavelengths through tissue. Potential clinical applications include a means of detecting breast disease, and a cerebral imaging modality for mapping oxygenation and haemodynamics in the brain of newborn infants. Imaging of tissues with light is severely restricted by the overwhelming scatter which occurs when optical radiation propagates through tissue. However, recent innovations in technology and the development of new tomographic reconstruction procedures suggest that a clinically viable imaging modality is achievable. In this paper the recent progress in this field of research is reviewed, and the prospects for ultimate success are discussed.

Information requirements and the implications for parallel computation

The best serial algorithms for numerically approximating the solution of a linear partial differential equation (PDE) exploit knowledge of the solution operator. This dissertation describes how the solution operator also influences the behavior of parallel algorithms. Approximating the solution at a single location in the problem domain is considered. We derive a lower bound on the error in the approximation that is a function of the amount of data used and the smoothness of the data functions. From this we derive a lower bound on the parallel complexity of algorithms that approximate the solution. The lower bound on the parallel complexity is a logarithmic function of the reciprocal of an upper bound on the error. Thus the parallel complexity increases as the error bound decreases, independent of the number of processors used. We also construct an algorithm whose parallel complexity is of this form, proving that the form of the bound is the best possible. The execution time of parallel algorithms is a function of both the communication costs and the parallel complexity. We describe bounds on the communication costs of parallel algorithms that are functions of the distance between collaborating processors. If the interconnection network of a given multiprocessor is a d dimensional grid, then we prove that the execution time for algorithms that approximate the solution is bounded from below by a negative power of the error bound. Thus, if the upper bound on the error is small, then the communication costs are the dominant constraints on the optimal performance.
Understanding the motivation of nurses toward the continued use of an evidence-based practice in a tertiary clinical practice setting: An application of planned behaviour theory

Introduction: In the last two to three decades, research findings have gradually been permeating the culture of nursing. Increasingly, nurses are expected to integrate evidencebased practices into specific nursing policy/protocols and patient care decisions (Polit and Beck, 2004; Rogers, 2004). In truth, research utilization is dependent on nurses' actual direct or indirect use of evidence in the clinical setting (Estabrooks, 1999). To date, researchers have been able to conclude that the more positive a nurse's attitude the more likely the nurse will use research findings (Ehrenfeld & Eckering, 1991; Camiah, 1997; Estabrooks, 1999; Olade, 20203,2004). The nursing literature reveals a dearth of studies examining nurses' "actual ongoing use" of research and the related factors/challenges affecting their continued use of research findings in clinical practice. Purpose: Why do some nurses continue to use research while others do not where organizational policy supports the ongoing use of evidence-based practice? The purposes of this study are to validate whether nurses' are continuing to use the RNAO's Falls Risk Prevention Best Practice Guidelines (BPG) policy/protocol in 2 units of a tertiary clinical care setting, to examine practicing nurse's attitudes, beliefs and perceptions related to their intention continue to use the policy/protocol; to examine the importance of each variable (beliefs, subjective norms, perceived behavioural controls) related to their intention to continue to use the policy/protocol; and to examine nurses' perceptions and experiences regarding the facilitators, barriers and organizational structures that impact their continued use of research in their practice setting. Methods: This survey correlation design study used Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behaviour (Godin & Kok, 1996) as a theoretical framework to examine practicing nurse's attitudes, beliefs, perceptions related to their intention to continue to use the Registered Nurse's of Ontario Association (RNAO)'s Falls Risk Prevention Best Practice Guideline (BPG) in their clinical practice. Findings: Sixty four percent of surveyed nurses (n=22/44) report using the Falls protocol (a direct type of research) always (18%) and/or often (46%) in their clinical practice. They also reported using the Falls Protocol on their previous shift an average of 2.6 patients per nurse. The main sources of falls research education where nurses first learnt about the RNAO's BPG were during their nursing practice (46%), a form of continuing education (27%), or in a conference/ seminar setting (18%). Composite mean scores related to surveyed nurses attitudes, social norm
Des états et des « roms » : une anthropologie du sujet entre transnationalisme et politiques d’intégration de migrants bulgares en france

Cette these explore les liens entre les mobilites transnationales et les experiencessubjectivantes de Roms bulgares dont la vie quotidienne se situe a la fois en Bulgarie eten France. La reflexion porte sur les rapports entre une population et des Etats-nationsdans differents contextes, en observant le traitement politique specifique de ces Romsminorises, apprehendes comme differents et problematiques. Ce travail s’appuie sur uneethnographie translocale et multi-echelle afin de saisir les imbrications micro et macrodans la construction d’un probleme public et politique (la « question rom ») commedans les experiences des migrants. D’une part, deux dispositifs politiques specifiquesmis en place dans une agglomeration francaise ont ete observes au long cours etanalyses dans une approche genealogique, politique et ethnographique. D’autre part,plusieurs familles de migrants roms bulgares vivant en squat ont ete suivies dans leurexperience transnationale. En mettant en perspective la politique locale en direction deces migrants, leurs rapports a l’Etat et leurs dynamiques migratoires, cette thesecontribue a une anthropologie politique et des migrations. Au-dela de leur captationdans des politiques oscillant entre exclusion et assimilation, en France comme enBulgarie, ces Roms bulgares jouent sur les frontieres geographiques, sociales etidentitaires pour se reinventer. L’attention portee aux Roms comme acteurs amene unereflexion sur leurs processus de subjectivation, entendus comme construction d’un sujetagissant sur lui-meme en s’inscrivant dans des rapports de pouvoirs et de domination.Cette recherche constitue donc un apport a l’anthropologie du sujet.
Decoding performance of linear block codes using a trellis in digital mobile radio

Trellis decoding of linear block codes in a Rayleigh fading channel is discussed. Two methods for calculating metric values for each bit in a received block are considered: the values are calculated from the received signal envelope sample and from the demodulator output. Bit error rate (BER) performances of hard decision and trellis decoding are compared using Hamming (7, 4) and Golay (24, 12) codes in computer simulations and laboratory experiments. A simplified trellis decoding algorithm, in which the hard decision output of a bit with an envelope sample greater than the threshold value is accepted as correct, is presented. Laboratory experimental results for trellis decoding in combination with Gaussian minimum-shift-keying (GMSK) modulation and frequency detection are shown. The effect of n-bit A/D-conversion in signal envelope sampling is investigated experimentally. The results show that the trellis decoding algorithm improves BER performance. >

DISTANCE FACTOR ON REDUCING SCATTERED RADIATION RISK DURING INTERVENTIONAL FLUOROSCOPY

Interventional Radiology (IR) is subspecialty o f diagnostic radiology where minimally invasive procedures are performed using an x-ray as a guidance. This procedure can deliver high radiation doses to patient and medical staff compared with other radiological method due to long screening time. The use o f proper shielding, shorten the exposure time and keep the distance are the practices to reduce scattered radiation risks to staff involve in this procedure. This project is to study the distance factor on reducing the scattered radiation effect to the medical staff. It also may provide the useful information which can be use to establish the scattered radiation profile during the IR fo r the sake o f radiation protection and safety to the medical staff involved. Abstrak Intervensi Radiologi (IR) adalah sub-kepakaran radiologi diagnostik di mana prosedur invasive secara minimum dilakukan menggunakan x-ray sebagai panduan. Prosedur ini boleh menyebabkan dos radiasi yang tinggi kepada pesakit dan kakitangan perubatan berbanding dengan kaedah radiologi yang lain disebabkan masa penyinaran yang panjang. Penggunaan perisaian yang sesuai, memendekkan masa pendedahan dan menjauhkan jarak adalah amalan untuk mengurangkan risiko sinaran terserak kepada kakitangan yang terlibat dalam prosedur ini. Projek ini adalah untuk mengkaji faktor jarak untuk mengurangkan kesan sinaran terserak kepada kakitangan perubatan. Ia juga boleh memberikan maklumat yang berguna yang boleh digunakan untuk menghasilkan profil sinaran terserak semasa prosedur IR ini demi perlindungan dan keselamatan radiasi kepada kakitangan perubatan yang terlibat.
Continuity of Care in Early Intervention Programs and Court Support Programs: Giving Voice to Service Recipients and Their Families

Studies of continuity of care (CoC) have largely been quantitative and have originated outside of Canada. This qualitative study examined CoC using verbatim transcripts of interviews with 45 clients and 22 family members of early intervention or court support programs in Ontario. Data were analyzed drawing on Dewa et al.'s (this volume) conceptualization of CoC, which has orderliness, and temporal and cross-sectional aspects. Our analysis revealed a high degree of convergence in clients' and families' perspectives regarding key features of each of the five dimensions, indicating that indeed all dimensions are important to clients and families.
Online Detect Polymorphic Exploit Based on Data Mining

In recent years, Internet worms increasingly threaten the Internet hosts and service and polymorphic worms can evade signature-based intrusion detection systems. We propose DMPolD (Data Ming Polymorphism Detection) to detect polymorphic exploit based on semantic signature and data-mining. We analyze the feature of polymorphic exploit and the feature of perfect ones. We propose a method to online detect worm through recognize JUMP address based on datamining i.e., Bayes. To prove this idea, we implement a plug-in of Snort – ODMSnort and do the experiment on it. The evaluation results show that DMPolD can detect polymorphic exploit and has very low falsepositive.
Fuzzy Logic based Model to Reprioritize Cloud Computing Process Requests using Extended Parameters

In the recent years, there is a wide increase in the demand of cloud computing because of its endless advantages like reduced infrastructure cost, scalability, virtualization, on demand service etc. This technology has brought a great revolution in the field of Information Technology. Resource Provisioning is an area in cloud computing where resources are provisioned to the processes in such a way that every coming process can get its demanded resource in time and can complete its execution in time and that too with full privacy. For our model proposed, we have taken existing work in hybrid cloud environment. We have used Fuzzy Logic as a tool for redefining the priorities to the processes. In this paper, a Fuzzy Logic based model is proposed to reprioritize Cloud Computing process requests using extended parameters. The central idea is to develop a conceptual model for prioritizing processes on the basis of their age, execution time and security factors. For considering these factors, human expertise is needed. Therefore, we have incorporated Fuzzy Logic in the system where the Fuzzy inference system will decide
Prometheus: From 2D to 3D. A reconstruction based on photographs.

On January 10th 2012 the statue of Prometheus, standing in front of the Aula, was stolen from the TU Delft. This statue was made specially for the TU Delft for its 100th anniversary in 1953. This thesis aims to reconstruct a digital 3d model of the stolen statue of Prometheus. We do this based on a set of photographs of the statue that were taken over the years. We use the SIFT feature detector to find keypoints in the photographs. By matching these keypoints between images we establish image correspondences. An incremental structure from motion approach is then used to create a projective reconstruction of the statue. The projective reconstruction is updated to a metric one by means of auto-calibration. We test our algorithm on three datasets. The first dataset contains several photographs of Prometheus. The second dataset contains the same photographs of Prometheus but with the background removed. The third dataset contains photographs from the preliminary study of the statue, these photographs are taken from around the statue, in the same lighting conditions and have guaranteed overlap. We will show that removing the background from the photographs before running our algorithm improves the reconstruction results. However, a full reconstruction of the statue seems impossible due to the lack of images and different conditions the photographs were taken in. If the conditions in which the photographs were taken in are similar and we have enough photographs, then our algorithm works well as we prove with the reconstruction results from the third dataset.
