A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of sensor nodes with low cost and limited performance. The energy needed for node management is important because it is difficult to manage the deployed nodes. Several traditional security protocols prevent several known attacks in WSNs, such as s false report injection attack. However, the traditional protocols do not consider the false traffic ratio and geographical environment factors. Therefore, to extend the network lifetime, a new design is needed that maintains security and considers environmental factors. This paper introduces a method to increase the energy efficiency and increase the detection rate of false reports by adjusting the security strength of the report generated at the node according to the node density and geographical location. The proposed method has the advantage that it can be applied to various security protocols based on Message Authentication Code (MAC).
Analysis of thermal effects in high power Yb doped fiber amplifier by distributed pumping

We have introduced a theoretical modeling based on arbitrary pump mode, derived the analytic functions of distributed amplifier along the fiber, and constructed a steady state heat equations of Yb-doped double-clad fiber amplifiers with both quantum defect and propagation losses being considered. Thermal effects and output power characteristics of kilowatt all fiber master-oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) are investigated by distributed pumping. Proper designs for reducing the temperature at the end of the fiber are proposed, the effect of the pumping mode and fiber length on the output performance and the temperature of fiber amplifiers is discussed and proposed a method to alleviate the thermal effect and improve amplifier efficiency. At last we also analyzed the output power and temperature characteristics by changing the power of seed laser, the results show that with the increasing the power of seed laser, the output power and temperature increase.
Flight performance of the attitude control system of the balloon experimental twin telescope for infrared interferometry (BETTII)

The Balloon Experimental Twin Telescope for Infrared Interferometry (BETTII) is an 8-meter baseline far-infrared interferometer designed to fly on a high altitude balloon. BETTII uses a double-Fourier Michelson interferometer to simultaneously obtain spatial and spectral information on science targets; the long baseline provides subarcsecond angular resolution, a capability unmatched by any other far-infrared facilities. BETTII had its first successful engineering flight in June 2017. The pointing loop on BETTII is based on an Extended Kalman Filter, which uses different sensors and actuators to keep the telescope pointed at the desired target star. In order to achieve high precision pointing, we use an embedded Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) that combines the gyroscope and star cameras information to generate a pointing solution every 10 milliseconds. The BETTII control system serves a critical function in making interferometric observations possible. This paper discusses the design and implementation of the BETTII control system and presents engineering data of the attitude control system from our pre-flight tests at the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF) and data from our first 12-hour flight from Palestine, TX. This includes pointing performance of the Kalman Filter estimator in the RA, DEC and ROLL Equatorial Coordinate System as well as the payload’s attitude behavior when switching between the different modes we implemented: Safe, Brake, Slew, Track and Acquire. These modes are part of the procedure to point the telescope to a desired target. We discuss the performance of the payload’s control system in each of these modes and present data showing how the azimuth actuators follow the position and velocity profiles calculated by the flight computers.
Pseudosequestrationof the Left Lung

Bronchovascular malformations of the lung constitute a broad spectrum of developmental disorders in which a part of the lung is perfused exclusively from the systemic arterial tree with or without tracheobronchial communication. We report the case of an infant with severe pulmonary artery hypertension whose entire left lung was supplied by collateral vessels from the celiac trunk and the left subclavian artery. The left tracheobronchial tree was normal. Coil embolization of the collateral vessels was performed to reduce the pulmonary blood flow. (Tex Heart Inst J 2007;34:195-8)
Investigation into toxin and slime genes in staphylococci isolated from goat milk and goat cheese in southern Turkey

The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) isolated from goat milk and cheese, as well as their toxin genes and slime genes. S. aureus and CNS isolates were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses to determine the prevalence of enterotoxin (sea, seb, sec, sed, see), toxic shock syndrome (TSS) toxin (tst), exfoliative toxin (eta and etb) and slime genes (icaA and icaD). sec, sed and tst genes together were detected in 4 (33.3%), sec + tst genes in 2 (16.7%) and tst gene in 1 (8.3%) of the 12 S. aureus isolates. However, see gene was detected in 6 (9.7%), sed gene and tst gene were detected in 1 (1.6%) and 7 (11.3%) of the 62 CNS isolates, respectively. No sea, seb, see, eta or etb genes were detected in the S. aureus isolates, whereas no sea, seb, sec, eta or etb genes were detected in the CNS isolates. At least one ica gene was present in all S. aureus isolates and in 36 of the 62 CNS isolates. The presence of icaA and icaD genes in the S. aureus isolates was clearly higher than those in the CNS isolates. In conclusion, toxin and slime genes were detected in the S. aureus and CNS isolates from goat milk and goat cheese. The potential risk of enterotoxigenic CNS should not be ignored as well as S. aureus in food safety and public health.
Running head: THERAPIST REFLECTIVE FUNCTIONING AND EFFECTIVENESS 1 Therapist Reflective Functioning, Therapist Attachment Style, and Therapist Effectiveness Cologon,

This study investigated the relationship between two therapists attributes (reflective functioning and attachment style) and client outcome. Twenty five therapists, treating a total of 1001 clients, were assessed for reflective functioning and attachment style using the Adult Attachment Interview and the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale. Clinical outcome was measured with the Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45). The data were analysed using hierarchical linear modelling. Therapist reflective functioning predicted therapist effectiveness, whereas attachment style did not. However there was evidence of a possible interaction between therapist attachment style and therapist reflective functioning whereby secure attachment compensated for low reflective functioning and high reflective functioning compensated for insecure attachment. Possible implications for the selection of therapy training candidates and therapist training so as to optimise client outcomes are discussed.
The 4S Symposium 2018 – V Capuano VINAG: A HIGHLY INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS ON-BOARD ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE SPACECRAFT NAVIGATION

1. ABSTRACT VINAG (VISION/INS integrated Navigation Assisted by GNSS) is a highly integrated system, specifically designed for autonomous on-board navigation in a wide class of space missions, which include, along the operational lifetime, proximity among heterogeneous space segments. The system VINAG is under development by a team of Italian companies and universities, co-financed by the Italian Space Agency. In particular, thanks to a high level of integration of its subsystems, VINAG, is a low mass, low volume and low power device, suitable for small and very small satellites. The complete system integrates a Cameras Subsystem (a monocular camera and a Star sensor), an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver, in order to provide both 1) absolute orbit and attitude determination and 2) relative position and attitude determination with respect to an orbiting non-cooperative object. In this paper, we present the whole system VINAG, focusing first on its functional architecture, second on the adopted navigation and data fusion algorithms and third briefly on its hardware (HW) design. The camera system and the GNSS receiver developed for VINAG, respectively by TSD Space and by Space Technology are also described in short. In addition, preliminary simulations that assess the potential performance of VINAG, in LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and GEO (Geostationary Orbit) are described.
Determination of the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary using program LABWA2015

Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB) is a lower boundary of the lithospheric plate, so, it is an important tectonic boundary. We present the package of numerical program LABWA2015 developed for simple calculations of position of LAB. It assumes isostatic state and uses gravity as well as topographic data. However, program provides better results if additional geophysical data are used, e.g. seismic data about position of Moho. If position of LAB is determined by other methods, the package can be used for determining density or thermal properties of lithosphere and asthenosphere. Contrary to earlier methods, LABWA2015 uses the full equation of thermal conduction. Problem of the lack of isostasy in some regions is also discussed.
ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A FERRITIN cDNA FROM THE MUD CRAB

Ferritin is an important protein for iron storage in cells. A hepatopancreas cDNA library from the mud crab Scylla paramamosain was constructed using the SMART technique. A complete cDNA sequence that showed high identity with the conserved sequence of the ferritin gene was cloned from the cDNA library and subjected to further investigation. The full-length ferritin gene of Scylla paramamosain (SpFer) consists of 767 bp and contains a complete open reading frame of 513 bp and a 26-bp iron-respective element in the 59-untranslated region. The gene encodes a polypeptide of 170 amino acids, constituting a predicted molecular weight of 19.44 kDa and a theoretical isoelectric point of 5.24. The deduced protein shares 84% identity with the ferritin protein of the crab Eriocheir sinensis. Quantitative real-time PCR analyses revealed that the expression of ferritin was ubiquitous in different organs of S. paramamosain, including muscle, heart, ovary, testis, and hepatopancreas. The highest expression level was found in the heart, while testis tissue showed the lowest level. Ferritin mRNA expression in continuous developmental stages in zoeal phases, including Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z5, as well as megalopa and juvenile crab I stages, were also examined by quantitative real-time PCR. The expression level of ferritin was highest in the Z1 stage and lowest in the megalopa stage. This study provides useful information regarding the structure and function of ferritin and will play an important role in immunity and resistance research in S. paramamosain.
Robust Model Predictive Control

Model predictive control (MPC) is regarded as the prime advanced control method for a wide class of industrial processes and perhaps one of the most significant developments in process control since the introduction of the PID controller in the early 1940’s. The success of the MPC paradigm in industry is primarily due to its unique constraint handling capability. This book investigates how the basic framework of model predictive control can be extended to handle uncertainty in the problem data while maintaining stability, feasibility and low- complexity. The framework of min-max control is studied in detail with specific emphasis upon the inherent trade-off between controller complexity and optimality. Using the concept of parametric programming, a practical low-complexity algorithm is presented which ensures robust closed-loop stability without severely compromising optimality. The book should be useful for researchers in the areas of robust predictive control, linear matrix inequalities and parametric programming, and practitioners who may be considering utilizing robust MPC in low-cost embedded systems areas including automotive control, MEMS and power electronics.
Effect of Functional Groups on Biodegradation and Pre-osteoblastic Cell Response on the Plasma-Polymerized Magnesium Surface

Magnesium (Mg) is light, has biocompatibility, and has mechanical properties close to those of natural bone. However, pure Mg severely corrodes in a physiological environment, which may result in fracture prior to substantial tissue healing. In this study, the Mg surface was modified by depositing a thin polymeric film containing COOH, NH2, and OH groups through plasma polymerization of acrylic acid, allyl amine, and allyl alcohol in order to improve its anticorrosion and bioactive properties. The –COOH group had a significant effect on bonelike apatite formation compared with –NH2 and –OH. It was also concluded that a bonelike-apatite formed COOH/Mg surface was more effective for reducing biodegradation rate than the other surfaces. The results of in vitro cell test revealed significantly enhanced cell proliferation and differentiation on the COOH/Mg and NH2/Mg surfaces compared with other surfaces.

In Yeast, the 39 Untranslated Region or the Presequence of ATM1 Is Required for the Exclusive Localization of Its mRNA to the Vicinity of Mitochondria

We isolated mitochondria from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to selectively study polysomes bound to the mitochondrial surface. The distribution of several mRNAs coding for mitochondrial proteins was examined in free and mitochondrion-bound polysomes. Some mRNAs exclusively localize to mitochondrion-bound polysomes, such as the ones coding for Atm1p, Cox10p, Tim44p, Atp2p, and Cot1p. In contrast, mRNAs encoding Cox6p, Cox5a, Aac1p, and Mir1p are found enriched in free cytoplasmic polysome fractions. Aac1p and Mir1p are transporters that lack cleavable presequences. Sequences required for mRNA asymmetric subcellular distribution were determined by analyzing the localization of reporter mRNAs containing the presequence coding region and/or the 3*-untranslated region (3*UTR) of ATM1, a gene encoding an ABC transporter of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Biochemical analyses of mitochondrion-bound polysomes and direct visualization of RNA localization in living yeast cells allowed us to demonstrate that either the presequence coding region or the 3*UTR of ATM1 is sufficient to allow the reporter mRNA to localize to the vicinity of the mitochondrion, independently of its translation. These data demonstrate that mRNA localization is one of the mechanisms used, in yeast, for segregating mitochondrial proteins.

Virtual Machine Management Technique for Providing High-Efficiency DaaS to Companies

— The provision of Desktop as a Service (DaaS) to companies using virtualization technology comes with advantages that improve service quality and reduce the costs incurred from service provision and maintenance. These advantages originate from the efficient use of resources in physical servers through virtual machine management. A virtual machine has various resource allocation and usage options in a single physical server where the machine is operated. Thus, a virtual machine management technique, such as virtual machine allocation and placement based on demand, enables the efficient management of data resources in the machine in accordance with the use patterns of users, even under complex load characteristics. Capitalizing on these innovative affordances, this study developed a virtual machine management technique for the efficient management of physical server resources. Companies can confirm the efficiency of the proposed technique via simulations grounded in resource use data from virtual and physical servers in a DaaS environment.
Study on of Wireless Device Connection Problems and Design Solutions

Users, especially the non-expert users, commonly experience problems when connecting multiple devices with interoperability. During device connection, the user is required to manage not only the device functionality but also the interaction between devices. The existing design approach to improve single-device interaction issues, such as computer guidance or improvements to graphical user interfaces, cannot help users to handle problems between multiple devices, while studies on multiple device connections are mostly focused on spontaneous device association with a focus on security aspects and the research on user interaction for device association is still limited. More research into understanding people is needed for designers to devise usable techniques [1]. In this paper, we apply the Research-through-Design method into our user interaction study on multiple device connections. First, we adopt the “Learning from Examples” concept to develop a study focus line by learning from expert users’ interaction. This focus line is then used for guiding researchers to explore the non-expert users’ difficulties in each stage on the focus line. Finally, we use the Research-through-Design approach to understand the user difficulties, gain insights of design problems and devise usable solutions. We studied the user interactions of the non-expert users in establishing wireless connections between devices through case studies in this structural way and found that this well-structured way of study can be applied to other device association studies. Based on learning from failures, here we propose a wireless connection method in which images of two devices function together with a system image to provide the user with feedback on the status of the connection, which allows them to infer any required actions.
