IMPLEMENTATION OF VARIETY ASSOCIATION ANALYSIS FOR DENIALOF-SERVICE ATTACK DETECTION

Net servers, data servers, cloud computing servers and so forth, are inter- connected techniques and they’re currently beneath threads from network attackers. Collectively of commonest and aggressive means that, Denial-of-carrier (DoS) attack reason severe impact on these computing methods. Throughout this paper, we tend to gift a DoS assault detection approach that uses Variety Association Analysis for right community site visitors characterization via extracting the geometrical correlations between network visitors choices. Those DoS attack detection procedure employs the precept of anomaly- situated detection in attack cognizance. This makes our answer ready of detective work satisfactory-known and unknown DoS attacks easily through finding out the patterns of official network site visitors completely . What is extra, a triangle-area-based procedure is projected to give a boost to and to hurry up the procedure of evaluation. And for that reason the influences of each non-normalized expertise and normalized skills on the efficiency of the projected detection process are examined. On this paper we use a naive-bayes classifier for attack detection which finely become aware of attacker percent . Also our experimental outcome taken on real dataset and hence the influences of every non-normalized expertise and normalized advantage on the performance of the projected detection method are examine
“WCFields”: A Magnetic Rotating Stellar Wind Model from Wind Compression Theory

A stellar wind model for a magnetic rotating star is presented. We use the semianalytic wind compression model that predicts the two-dimensional geometry of outflows from rotating stars and consider the addition of a magnetic field. In the limit of weak magnetic fields, in such a way that the fields are unimportant in accelerating the flow, the wind compression model can be used to predict the magnetic field distribution throughout the wind, which is shown to follow the mass flux distribution. A compression of field lines near the equator results as the flow of material from higher latitudes brings magnetic flux toward that region. As examples, wind compression models with magnetic fields ("WCField" models) are computed for both a Wolf-Rayet star and a red supergiant star. In both cases an order of magnitude enhancement of the equatorial magnetic field can result within a few stellar radii for stellar rotation rates around 20% of critical. Such enhancements could have consequences for explaining (1) nonthermal emission observed from some Wolf-Rayet winds and (2) the ring structures observed in the ejecta of SN 1987a.
Skeletonization in Natural Image using Delaunay Triangulation

In this paper a novel approach to extract 2D skeleton information (skeletonization) from natural image is proposed. The work presented here is the extension of our previous paper presented at the International Sympsosium on Multimedia 2016. In the past work, a threshold based method is utilized. Here the algorithm is further improved by using a better edge points detection and skeleton extraction. Furthermore the proposed method is compared with the Skeleton Strength Map (SSM) and shows better result visually and numerically (F-measure comparison).
The Test of Technological and Information Literacy (TILT) in the National Educational Panel Study: Development, empirical testing, and evidence for validity

In this article, we present an assessment framework for assessing information and communication technologies literacy (ICT literacy) in the context of the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). NEPS is the fi rst study aiming to examine ICT literacy longitudinally across the lifespan using objective paper-pencil test instruments. To do so, it is necessary to develop reliable and valid test instruments that are capable of assessing ICT literacy longitudinally. On the basis of an assessment framework, we developed in an initial step an item pool for assessing the ICT literacy of secondary school students and tested the item pool in three pilot studies (Grade 5, 7 and 9). The item and scale analyses provided satisfying results and the item pool proved to be suitable for assessing ICT literacy longitudinally. In addition, validity analyses showed a satisfactory content validity and a high test fairness with regard to gender and school type. Concerning criterion validity, there were expected correlations with variables of computer familiarity.
A method for high accuracy geo-referencing of data from field operations

In this project a Real Time Kinematic Global Position System (RTKGPS) was used to provide high accuracy field operation data. The deviations and errors of the RTKGPS when used in static and dynamic modes were studied as well as the accuracy of RTK GPS in eastern Denmark (55 40 N, 12 18 E) during a 24-hour test. The project introduced a novel real time data acquisition system and post-processing algorithms for improving positioning by merging RTKGPS data with vehicle altitude.
The distribution, abundance and dispersal by seabirds of Pisonia grandis

Pisonia grandis was located on forty-four Great Barrier Reef islands from literature reports and during field surveys between 1983 and 1989. The abundance and maximum dimensions of Pisonia were measured for most islands. The highest trees are 1618 m which is much lower than the 30 m trees reported elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific region. Less than 160 ha of Pisonia forest is present in total and 94% is concentrated on cays on the southern Great Bamer Reef especially on North West Island. Northern islands have greater floristic diversity and with rare exception Pisonia appears unable to form forests there. Possible reasons for this are discussed. Sixteen species of birds were observed with Pisonia fruits attached to their feathers and the primary dispersal agents are identified as the Black Noddy Anour minutus and the Bridled Tern Sterna anaethetus. The distribution of Pisonia is closely associated with the distribution of colonies of these two seabirds. Destruction of Pisonia by human activities has been significant since European settlement but relatively minor compared to that elsewhere throughout its range. Pisonia grandis R. Br. is a remarkable tree of Indo-Pacific islands between the latitudes of 24W and 24's. Its unusual features have fascinated botanists since Rumphius (1750) and island cultures have assigned it a variety of roles from culinary to that of sacred plant not to be possessed on penalty of death (Stemmerik 1964). A tall attractive species with large leaves, smooth bark, buttress-like roots and spreading canopy it often forms a shady forest characterised by near absence of undergrowth and other trees. Pisonia grandis occurs almost entirely on small islands supporting colonies of seabirds or imperial pigeons (Ridley 1930, St. John 1951, Airy Shaw 1952, Stemmerik 1964). This unique distribution has been attributed both to the spread of seeds by birds and to enhancement of growth by bird guano (Airy Shaw 1952, Stemmerik 1964). Pisonia grandis forest on coraline substrate tends to produce a rich peat-like acidic humus overlaying phosphate rock (Fosberg 1957). Consequently this forest has been cleared for agriculture (particularly coconut) or phosphate mining on most islands throughout the Indo-Pacific (Fosberg 1974, 1983; Manner et al. 1985). The Great Bamer Reef is one region where islands with uncut Pisonia forests remain. It has been suggested that phosphatic cay rock requires the presence of seabird guano and Pisonia humus for its formation (Fosberg 1957) and Pisonia therefore has Department of Environment and Heritage.

Bullying at Work: Do Industries Differ in the Estonian Case?

The bullying at work has not so far analyzed in Estonia - its dispersal, causes and impact have not studied, while in the countries with long democratic traditions it has been the actual problem of work context for two decades. The current study examines the prevalence of workplace bullying in Estonian organizations and the extent of the problem by industries because bullying may put impact on the employees efficiency. The sample consists of 1941 respondents which covers 59 organizations across Estonia and represents in all over 30 000 employee and the unemployed. The results reveal that bullying poses a serious problem in Estonia. According to Leymann's criteria (1996) at least one negative act per week with a duration of at least 6 months, has been reported by 23,44% of respondents. Although, it came out that bullying is not sector-specific problem in Estonia, several and different industries are vulnerable from bullying.
Digital Library: Content Preservation in a Digital World

There is a growing need and worldwide trend to collect, organise, manage, protect and distribute information in digital form. In this paper, a brief discussion about information services trends and directions expands on this point and is followed by a description of IBM digital library whose components enable institutions to addresses digital content management issues. The description includes the integrated functions of create and capture, search and access, distribution, storage and management, and rights management. Guidelines and considerations which are important when contemplating implementation of a digital library project conclude this discussion. http://dx.doi. org/10.14429/dbit.17. 6.3239
Repeatability of traits evaluated in a split-plot or factorial experiment

In this paper repeatability expressions are derived and their respective ANOVA estimators obtained by using split-plot and factorial models, both in a randomized complete block design. The paper also considers different fixed and random effect models and their assumptions and restrictions. Repeatability estimates, such as the correlation between successive measurements (over time) of the same genotype, always have the same value regardless of the model used, and this allows repeatability to be calculated using models based on the mean of the experimental units (mean of blocks) of each genotype in each time. This independence was not observed for repeatability estimates at the upper limit of broad-sense heritability based on the mean of successive measurements (over time) of the same genotype. The repeatability of traits evaluated in experimental trials of different designs is also discussed.
Mass analysis of charged aerosol particles in NLC and PMSE during the ECOMA/MASS campaign

MASS (Mesospheric Aerosol Sampling Spectrometer) is a multichannel mass spectrometer for charged aerosol particles, which was flown from the Andoya Rocket Range, Norway, through NLC and PMSE on 3 August 2007 and through PMSE on 6 August 2007. The eight-channel analyzers provided for the first time simultaneous measurements of the charge density residing on aerosol particles in four mass ranges, corresponding to ice particles with radii 3 nm (approximately). Positive and negative particles were recorded on separate channels. Faraday rotation measurements provided electron density and a means of checking charge density measurements made by the spectrometer. Additional complementary measurements were made by rocket-borne dust impact detectors, electric field booms, a photometer and ground-based radar and lidar. The MASS data from the first flight showed negative charge number densities of 1500–3000 cm−3 for particles with radii >3 nm from 83–88 km approximately coincident with PMSE observed by the ALWIN radar and NLC observed by the ALOMAR lidar. For particles in the 1–2 nm range, number densities of positive and negative charge were similar in magnitude (~2000 cm−3) and for smaller particles, 0.5–1 nm in radius, positive charge was dominant. The occurrence of positive charge on the aerosol particles of the smallest size and predominately negative charge on the particles of largest size suggests that nucleation occurs on positive condensation nuclei and is followed by collection of negative charge during subsequent growth to larger size. Faraday rotation measurements show a bite-out in electron density that increases the time for positive aerosol particles to be neutralized and charged negatively. The larger particles (>3 nm) are observed throughout the NLC region, 83–88 km, and the smaller particles are observed primarily at the high end of the range, 86–88 km. The second flight into PMSE alone at 84–88 km, found only small number densities (~500 cm−3) of particles >3 nm in a narrow altitude range, 86.5–87.5 km. Both positive (~2000 cm−3) and negative (~4500 cm−3) particles with radii 1–2 nm were detected from 85–87.5 km.
An optimally tuned ensemble of the "eb_go_gs" configuration of GENIE: parameter sensitivity and bifurcations in the Atlantic overturning circulation

Abstract. The key physical parameters for the "eb_go_gs" configuration of version 2.7. 4 of GENIE, an Earth system model of intermediate complexity (EMIC), are tuned using a multi-objective genetic algorithm. An ensemble of 90 parameter sets is tuned using two ocean and two atmospheric state variables as targets. These are "Pareto-optimal", representing a range of trade-offs between the four tuning targets. For the leading five parameter sets, simulations are evaluated alongside a simulation with untuned "default" parameters, comparing selected variables and diagnostics that describe the state of the atmosphere, ocean and sea ice. Further experiments are undertaken with these selected parameter sets to compare equilibrium climate sensitivities and transient climate responses. The pattern of warming under doubled CO2 is strongly shaped by changes in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), while the pattern and rate of warming under rising CO2 is closely linked to changing sea ice extent. One of the five tuned parameter sets is identified as marginally optimal, and the objective function (error) landscape is further analysed in the vicinity of the tuned values of this parameter set. "Cliffs" along some dimensions motivate closer inspection of corresponding variations in the AMOC. This reveals that bifurcations in the AMOC are highly sensitive to parameters that are not typically associated with MOC stability. Specifically, the state of the AMOC is sensitive to parameters governing the wind-driven circulation and atmospheric heat transport. For the GENIE configuration presented here, the marginally optimal parameter set is recommended for single simulations, although the leading five parameter sets may be used in ensemble mode to admit a constrained degree of parametric uncertainty in climate prediction.

AN OBJECT-ORIENTED PATTERN LANGUAGE FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN

Psychological inertia, biases and incomplete knowledge can lead engineering designers to choose a sub-optima design. The use of design patterns can help engineering designers find better solutions. Design patterns are recurring/reusable design solutions that are known to work in a particular design situation or a context. Patterns represent both recurring problems and recurring solutions together with their relationships. A design pattern language is a collection of related design patterns covering a particular design domain. This paper describes an object-oriented framework and methodology for the construction and use of pattern languages for the design of technical systems. Key words: Engineering design patterns; Engineering design pattern language; Engineering design; object-orientation.
Morphological Investigation into Starch Bio-Nanocomposites via Synchrotron Radiation and Differential Scanning Calorimetry

We studied a hydrophilic, plasticized bionanocomposite system involving sorbitol plasticizer, amylose biopolymer, and montmorillonite (MMT) for the presence of competitive interactions among them at different moisture content. Synchrotron analysis via small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were performed to understand crystalline growth and the distribution of crystalline domains within the samples. The SAXS diffraction patterns showed reduced interhelix spacing in the amylose network indicating strong amylose-sorbitol interactions. Depending on the sorbitol and MMT concentration, these interactions also affected the free moisture content and crystalline domains. Domains of around 95 A and 312 A were found in the low-moisture-content samples as compared to a single domain of 95 A in the high-moisture-content samples. DSC measurements confirmed that the MMT increased the onset and the melting temperature of nanocomposites. Moreover, the results showed that the ternary interactions among sorbitol-amylose-MMT supported the crystalline heterogeneity through secondary nucleation.
Feature Analysis to Human Activity Recognition

Human activity recognition (HAR) is one of those research areas whose importance and popularity have notably increased in recent years. HAR can be seen as a general machine learning problem which requires feature extraction and feature selection. In previous articles different features were extracted from time, frequency and wavelet domains for HAR but it is not clear that, how to determine the best feature combination which maximizes the performance of a machine learning algorithm. The aim of this paper is to present the most relevant feature extraction methods in HAR and to compare them with widely-used filter and wrapper feature selection algorithms. This work is an extended version of [1]a where we tested the efficiency of filter and wrapper feature selection algorithms in combination with artificial neural networks. In this paper the efficiency of selected features has been investigated on more machine learning algorithms (feed-forward artificial neural network, k-nearest neighbor and decision tree) where an independent database was the data source. The result demonstrates that machine learning in combination with feature selection can overcome other classification approaches.
Temporal covariation of egg volume and breeding conditions in the Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) in the Mediterranean region

Most studies on variation in egg size in the Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) have been carried out in central and northern Europe, whereas less is known about populations in the Mediterranean basin. We investigated the variation in egg volume in a Mediterranean population of Common Kestrel over a six-year period in relation to clutch size, breeding time, hatching success, and weather conditions. Eggs were generally bigger in larger clutches, and egg volume tended to decrease over the breeding season, but these patterns were not consistent among breeding seasons. Egg volume did not significantly vary in relation to weather conditions and did not predict hatching or fledging success. This study showed that (a) the patterns of covariation among laying date, clutch size and egg volume varied inconsistently over multiple years, and (b) egg volume poorly predicted the probabilities of hatching and fledging in the studied population.
3.2 - Infrared reflectance measurements of thin films with time variable surface roughness or texture

For contactless moisture measurement the infrared reflectance measurement is often used. This noninvasive and fast measurement method is suitable for determining the moisture content of bulk materials or coatings and can be used for example to characterize drying processes of paints. The measured infrared radiation is dependent on absorption and scattering in the layer. Moreover, the temporal and local surface dullness (e. g. roughness) or texture influences the measurement results depending on diffuse and direct reflection. In this study an experimental setup which detects both the direct and the diffuse reflected radiation parts is realized. The setup consists of a FTIR- (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectrometer which is extended for a simultaneous determination of spectrograms at different incidence angles (0° as well as 45°).
A STRONGLY HEATED NEUTRON STAR IN THE TRANSIENT Z SOURCE MAXI J0556–332

We present Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift observations of the quiescent neutron star in the transient low-mass X-ray binary MAXI J0556–332. Observations of the source made during outburst (with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer) reveal tracks in its X-ray color–color and hardness–intensity diagrams that closely resemble those of the neutron-star Z sources, suggesting that MAXI J0556–332 had near- or super-Eddington luminosities for a large part of its ∼16 month outburst. A comparison of these diagrams with those of other Z sources suggests a source distance of 46 ± 15 kpc. Fits to the quiescent spectra of MAXI J0556–332 with a neutron-star atmosphere model (with or without a power-law component) result in distance estimates of 45 ± 3 kpc, for a neutron-star radius of 10 km and a mass of 1.4 M☉. The spectra show the effective surface temperature of the neutron star decreasing monotonically over the first ∼500 days of quiescence, except for two observations that were likely affected by enhanced low-level accretion. The temperatures we obtain for the fits that include a power law ( = 184–308 eV) are much higher than those seen for any other neutron star heated by accretion, while the inferred cooling (e-folding) timescale (∼200 days) is similar to other sources. Fits without a power law yield higher temperatures ( = 190–336 eV) and a shorter e-folding time (∼160 days). Our results suggest that the heating of the neutron-star crust in MAXI J0556–332 was considerably more efficient than for other systems, possibly indicating additional or more efficient shallow heat sources in its crust.
