Flare: An Online Low Complexity Event and Intrusion Detection Flare: An Online Low Complexity Event and Intrusion Detection for Power Transmission Networks for Power Transmission Networks

—In this paper, we present Flare: a lightweight plug & play machine learning based Event and intrusion detection systems (EIDS), which can eﬀectively learn to discriminate among transmission line faults, contingencies, false data injection (FDI) and false command injection (FCI) attacks. The developed algorithms can operate in an eﬃcient online manner on live data without human supervision. Intelligent electronic device (IED) an endpoint device in power system wide area monitoring and control system (WAMCS), can potentially host the proposed EIDS, in addition to its primary role. Flare‘s core learning algorithm employs the probability and statistical theories to model latent likelihood relationship among the measured synchrophasors. Outcome co-relation of joint probabilities are then used to create the decision thresholds for baseline benign behaviors. As a proof of concept, an EIDS prototype was implemented in a high level language and validated using Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 2-line 3-bus power transmission datasets. To evaluate the performance, and establish the operational viability of Flare, independent experimentation performed for both central and substation deployment. Evaluation results demonstrate Flare’s performance comparable to oﬄine anomaly detectors, even with low memory and processing power smart board.

The paper empirically analyzes the incentive effects of equalizing transfers on business tax policy by exploiting a natural experiment in the state of Lower Saxony which changed its equalization formula as of 1999. We resort to within-state and across-state difference-in-difference estimates to identify the reform effect on municipalities' business tax rates. Confirming the theoretical prediction, the reform had a significant impact on the municipalities’ tax policy in the four years after the reform with a “phasing out” of the effect starting in the fourth to fifth year. The finding is robust to various alternative specifications.
RUNNING HEAD: GM-CSF drives MSU inflammatory macrophages GM-CSF drives MSU crystal-induced inflammatory macrophage differentiation and NLRP3 inflammasome upregulation in vivo

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the role of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in the differentiation of inflammatory macrophages in an in vivo model of monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced inflammation. Methods: C57Bl/6J mice were treated with either clodronate liposomes to deplete peritoneal macrophages or GM-CSF antibody, and challenged by intraperitoneal injection of MSU crystals. Peritoneal lavages were collected and cellular infiltration determined by flow cytometry. Purified resident and MSU crystal-recruited monocyte/macrophages were stimulated ex vivo with MSU crystals. The interleukin (IL)-1 β levels in lavage fluids and ex vivo assay supernatants were measured. GM-CSF- and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF)-derived macrophages were generated in vitro from bone marrow cells. Protein expression of IL-1 β , caspase-1, NOD-like receptor protein (NLRP)-3 and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) by in vitro and in vivo -generated monocyte/macrophages was analyzed by western blot. Results: Depletion of resident macrophages lowered MSU crystal-induced IL-1 β and GM-CSF levels in vivo , and IL-1 β production by MSU crystal-recruited monocytes stimulated ex vivo . GM-CSF neutralization in vivo decreased MSU crystal-induced IL-1 β levels and neutrophil infiltration. MSU crystal-recruited monocyte/macrophages from GM-CSF-neutralized mice expressed lower levels of the macrophage marker cluster of differentiation (CD)115 and produced less IL-1 β following ex vivo stimulation. These monocytes exhibited decreased expression of NLRP-3, pro/active-IL-1 β and pro/active caspase-1. In vitro -derived GM-CSF-differentiated macrophages expressed higher levels of NLRP-3, pro/active-IL-1 β and pro/active caspase-1 compared to M-CSF-differentiated macrophages. Conclusions: GM-CSF plays a key role in the differentiation of MSU crystal-recruited monocytes into pro-inflammatory macrophages. GM-CSF production may therefore contribute towards exacerbating inflammation in gout. room temperature).

An Ecological Characterization of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary Region Chapter 4-SeaBIrD DIStrIBUtION aND DIVerSItY

Seabirds are defined as birds that spend a large proportion of their lives at sea, feeding either entirely or predom inantly on marine organisms, and coming ashore for relatively short periods for resting or breeding (Schreiber and Burger, 2001). Most seabirds are assigned to one of three orders: the Procellariiformes (e.g. shearwaters, fulmars, petrels and albatrosses), the Pelecaniformes (e.g. gannets, pelicans, boobies and cormorants) or the Charadriiformes (e.g. gulls, terns, auks). They are usually numerically abundant, long lived (15-70 years) and feed at a variety of trophic levels (i.e. predators and scavengers). As such, seabirds can be very responsive to changes in their environment. The broad-ranging movements and longevity of seabirds mean that they track en vironmental changes at spatial and temporal scales that are otherwise difficult to monitor (Diamond and Devlin, 2003; Huettmann and Diamond, 2006). For example, seabird species are useful bioindicators by providing valu able information to define pelagic habitat types (Springer et al., 1996) and assess ecosystem health (Furness and Greenwood, 1993). Changes in seabird distribution and abundance, as well as breeding success, growth rates, survival and diet composition, have been closely linked to regional climate variability (e.g. North Atlantic Oscillations and El Niño/La Niña events) and global climate change (Schreiber and Schreiber, 1989; Aebischer et al., 1990; Brown, 1991; Monaghan, 1992; Montevecchi and Myers, 1997) often due to changes in prey abun dance (Cairns, 1987; Hamer et al., 1991; Garthe et al., 1996; Diamond and Devlin, 2003). Seabirds also have the potential to function as indicators of pollutants, particularly since they rapidly bio-accumulate chemicals that are lipid-soluble such as organochlorines (e.g. DDT, PCBs) and organo-metals (e.g. methylmercury) (Chapdelaine et al., 1987; Furness and Camphuysen, 1997).
Anaemigenic and Lipogenic Actions of Dietary Calcium Carbonate

The Eighty-fifth Meeting of The Nutrition Society (Thirty-ninth of the Scottish Group) was held at the Golden Lion Hotel, Stirling, on Saturday, 27 February 1954, at 2 p.m. , when the following papers were read : The Retention of Vitamin B,, by the Chick Receiving All-vegetable Rations. By D. H. SHRIMPTON, Rowett Research Institute, Bucksburn, Aberdeenshire Chicks from a vitamin B,,-depleted breeding flock were reared on the all-vegetable diet A containing: groundnut meal 3574, yellow-maize meal 22%, wheat, oats, miller’s offals, grass meal, brewer’s yeast, minerals and cod-liver oil. Parallel groups were tested with diet B in which soya-bean meal replaced the groundnut meal-there is evidence that the inclusion of soya-bean meal in a ration raises the chick‘s requirement for vitamin B,, (Bird, Rubin & Groschke, 1948; Carpenter & Duckworth, 1951). The vitamin B,, content of chicks aged 3 days and 28 days was determined with Lactobacillus leichmannii, using cyanide extraction. In 25 days, the vitamin B,, content increased by 380% (see Table I), although neither ration contained any vitamin B,,, and the chicks were housed on wire screens to prevent coprophagy. (Work in progress on the origins of the exogenous source of vitamin B,, retained by these birds will be reported later.)

Cisplatin Cancer

Introdution: Common cancer treatment methods have many side effects. Therefore, the use of new methods for drug delivery to cancer cells is necessary. In the present study, nano formulations of lipid carriers containing doxorubicin have been synthesized and its physicochemical properties have been investigated. Methods: The present study was an experimental study. The liposomal systems were synthesized by the method of thin-film hydration and using Tween-20, cholesterol and soybean phosphatidylcholine. After loading Doxorubicin drug into the liposomes, physiochemical properties of nano-carriers were determined from the perspective of encapsulation efficiency, drug release profile under healthy and cancerous cells condition, hydrodynamic diameter, zeta potential, morphology and IR spectra. Results: The liposomal system had 132.9 nm in diameter, the encapsulation 93.74% and -38.73±0.18mV zeta potential. The maximum release of drug from the nano-carrier under conditions 37°C, pH=7.4 and 42°C, pH=5.4 and 37°C, pH=5.4 after 72 hours was 36.54% and 74.18% and 55.9% respectively. SEM and IR assessments revealed spherical morphology and the absence of chemical interaction between nano-carrier and drug. Conclusion: The result of this research indicates that the liposomal system, having the appropriate physiochemical properties, has not changed the chemical nature of drug and thus can be a suitable and semi-targeted carrier for doxorubicin.
The unburdening effects of forgiveness: Effects on slant perception and jumping height

Research shows that in the aftermath of conflict, forgiveness improves victims’ well-being and the victim-offender relationship. Building on the research on embodied perception and economy of action, we demonstrate that forgiveness also has implications for victims’ perceptions and behavior in the physical domain. Metaphorically, unforgiveness is a burden that can be lightened by forgiveness; we show that people induced to feel forgiveness perceive hills to be less steep (Study 1) and jump higher in an ostensible fitness test (Study 2) than people who are induced to feel unforgiveness. These findings suggest that forgiveness may lighten the physical burden of unforgiveness, providing evidence that forgiveness can help victims overcome the negative effects of conflict.
MIB200633 1964..1973

Background: Fecal alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) clearance has been a marker of clinical disease severity in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) for many years. Although AAT deficiency is more often associated with lung and liver pathologies, AAT-deficient patients with concomitant IBD have been shown to develop more aggressive disease and rapid progression to surgery. Although recent studies have highlighted the pleiotropic anti-inflammatory functions of AAT, including reducing proinflammatory cytokine production and suppressing immune cell activation, its potential therapeutic role in IBD has not been described.
The (cid:3243)pause(cid:3244) in global warming in historical context: (II). Comparing models to observations

We review the evidence for a putative early 21st-century divergence between global mean surface temperature ( GMST ) and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 ( CMIP5 ) projections. We provide a systematic comparison between temperatures and projections using historical versions of GMST products and historical versions of model projections that existed at the times when claims about a divergence were made. The comparisons are conducted with a variety of statistical techniques that correct for problems in previous work, including using continuous trends and a Monte Carlo approach to simulate internal variability. The results show that there is no robust statistical evidence for a divergence between models and observations. The impression of a divergence early in the 21st century was caused by various biases in model interpretation and in the observations,
Intra-hour PV forecast with recurrent neural networks using distributed data

For an electricity supply with a high share of solar energy an accurate forecast of photovoltaic (PV) power production is needed. For forecast horizons up to one hour especially fast ramp events induced by cloud movement are important, because the change in energy production can only be compensated with an exact forecast. In this master thesis a forecast method mainly building on measurements of nearby PV stations is developed. The connection of these measurements, easily achieved by modern technologies already in use, allow for a forecast without external data. The tested methods are different architectures of recurrent neural networks. These were developed for time series problems and are very flexible in adjusting to different phenomena, for example different weather regimes and PV panel orientations. The models are developed and tested with different simulated scenarios. The final scenario describes irradiation time series for 25 PV stations for partly cloudy days, with changes in cloud speed and direction. The results of our forecast reduce the forecast error (RMSE) by up to 39 % in comparison to forecasts using only the local data. The improvements are limited to the range of 3 to 15 minutes, this could be extended to longer time frames by the use of more distant measurements.
Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Virality Modeling and Analysis Virality Modeling and Analysis

—Virality is a virus-like behavior that allows a piece of information to widely and quickly diffuse within the network of adopters through word of mouth. It is about how easy users propagate information to their friends and friends of friends by means of diffusion. While virality of information has several interesting applications, there are much research to be conducted on virality. These areas of research include understanding the mechanism of virality, modeling the virality both qualitatively and quantitatively, and applying virality to applications such as marketing, event detection, and others. In this paper, we survey existing works on quantitative models for virality and the relationship between virality and other behaviors. Through the survey, we hope to offer common framework to study topis related to information virality.
TAG remodeling to accumulate industrial oils remodeling in fendleri indicates oil accumulation is dynamic and not a

One-Sentence Summary: In vivo isotopic tracing indicates Physaria fendleri incorporates 14 industrially valuable unusual fatty acids into seed storage oil through a dynamic triacylglycerol 15 remodeling process. 16 Abstract 31 Oilseed plants accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) up to 80% of seed weight with the TAG fatty 32 acid composition determining its nutritional value or use in the biofuel or chemical industries. 33 Two major pathways for production of diacylglycerol (DAG), the immediate precursor to TAG, 34 have been identified in plants: de novo DAG synthesis, and conversion of the membrane lipid 35 phosphatidylcholine (PC) to DAG, with each pathway producing distinct TAG compositions. 36 However, neither pathway fits with previous biochemical and transcriptomic results from 37 developing Physaria fendleri seeds for accumulation of TAG containing >60% lesquerolic acid 38 (an unusual 20 carbon hydroxylated fatty acid) which accumulates at only the sn -1 and sn -3 39 positions of TAG . Isotopic tracing of developing P. fendleri seed lipid metabolism identified that 40 PC-derived DAG is utilized to initially produce TAG with only one lesquerolic acid. 41 Subsequently a non-hydroxylated fatty acid is removed from TAG (transiently reproducing 42 DAG) and a second lesquerolic acid is incorporated. Thus, a dynamic TAG remodeling process 43 involving anabolic and catabolic reactions controls the final TAG fatty acid composition. 44 Reinterpretation of P. fendleri transcriptomic data identified potential genes involved in TAG 45 remodeling that could provide a new approach for oilseed engineering by altering oil fatty acid 46 composition after initial TAG synthesis; and the comparison of current results to that of related 47 Brassicaceae suggests involved in 48 incorporation of very long chain fatty acids into the TAG sn -1 position in various plants. 49 50 DGAT1 DGAT2 Nonredundant Functions in Triacylglycerol Biosynthesis and Are Localized to Different Subdomains Endoplasmic Reticulum.
effec-Beyond angiogenesis blockade: targeted therapy for advanced cervical cancer

The global burden of advanced stage cervical cancer remains significant, particular in resource poor countries where effective screening programs are absent. Unfortunately, a proportion of patients will be diagnosed with advanced stage disease, and may suffer from persistent or recurrent disease despite treatment with combination chemotherapy and radiation. Patients with recurrent disease have a poor salvage rate, with an expected 5-year survival of less than 10%. Recently, significant gains have been made in the antiangiogenic arena; nonetheless the need to develop effective alternate targeted strategies is implicit. As such, a review of molecular targeted therapy in the treatment of this disease is warranted. In an era of biologics, combined therapy with cytotoxic drugs and molecular targeted agents, represents an exciting arena yet to be fully explored.
Classification of closely spaced subsurface objects using electromagnetic induction data and blind source separation algorithms

Most research in the subsurface object identification area assumes that objects are well isolated from each other and thus that a single signature is measured by the sensing system. In the scenario where multiple closely spaced subsurface objects are present within the field of view of the sensor, the signals measured using electromagnetic induction sensors are mixed, and the mixed measurements cannot be used to determine the identity of each of the individual objects using conventional techniques. Since only the mixed observations are available, and these are usually available at multiple target/sensor orientations, separating individual signals from the set of mixtures can be posed as a blind source separation (BSS) problem. In this paper we consider two approaches to source separation, one based on the second‐order statistics and the other based on the fourth‐order statistics. Following the source separation, object classification performance is obtained using the separated sources and a Bayesian classifier. We analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each BSS approach and compare their performance.
Hepatitis D Virus (HDV): A Review of Epidemiological Aspects, Clinical Characteristics and Diagnosis

Hepatitis D in co-infection with hepatitis B is an infectious disease that particularly affects the liver. This is a defective virus, which requires the presence of HBV surface antigen to replicate and cause infection. However, VHD is associated with acute or chronic hepatitis present in the body, it can manifest itself through tiredness, fever, malaise, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, yellow skin and eyes, dark urine and pale stools. The purpose of this article is to describe and highlight in the form of a review the main epidemiological data, clinical characteristics and diagnosis of the hepatitis D virus. The methodology used selected 70 relevant articles, published between 2006 and 2021, in the electronic databases: National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed) via MEDLINE, CAPES Journal Portal, Latest Medical News, Clinical Trials, Guidelines – Medscape, Springer, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). The literary analysis of the articles observed showed high mortality indicators, several epidemiological studies revealed that the global burden of HDV is greater than previously estimated, it was also evidenced the need for more studies to better understand the HDV infection and determine the epidemiology of HDV infection among HBV patients.
One-loop Integral Coefficients from Generalized Unitarity

I describe a method for determining the coefficients of scalar integrals for one-loop amplitudes in quantum field theory. The method is based upon generalized unitarity and the behavior of amplitudes when the free parameters of the cut momenta approach infinity. The method works for arbitrary masses of both external and internal legs of the amplitudes. It therefore applies not only to QCD but also to the Electroweak theory and to quantum field theory in general.
Generation and validation of pX-UASTattB for dose-dependent misexpression studies in Drosophila

The GAL4-UAS binary gene expression system has benefited genetic studies tremendously. However, tools for effective control over the expression levels of transgenes are largely limited. We report a new series pUASTattB-based plasmids. These plasmids preserve the features of pUASTattB but contain a varying number of UAS sites. The expression levels and biological outcomes of a transgene showed a dosage-dependency with the number of UAS sites when using Dscam1 as a transgene and axon arborization of Drosophila sensory neurons as a biological function. Our new plasmids provide novel and useful tools for Drosophila genetic studies.
Material and Techniques for Microencapsulation of Probiotics: Literature Based Review

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are introduced to induce positive health benefits in the host. Different species relevant to various genus are used in food in order to enhance the health benefits of the food product. But, the most widely used probiotics are related to lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria genus. The health benefits attributed to the consumption of probiotics include immune system modulation, reduction of symptoms related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diarrhea treatment, reduction of lactose intolerance, serum cholesterol reduction, anti-inflammatory properties, prevention of cancer and mutagenesis, and production of bacteriocins which make environment unsuitable for pathogenic microorganisms specially by lowering the pH. The claimed health benefits are related to the species and even strain of probiotics and achieved when the microorganisms are higher than the minimum satisfactory level. Moreover, the viability of probiotics is of vital importance from the time of production to the time of reaching to the target organ. In order to enhance the survival of probiotics, several techniques have been used among which the results of microencapsulation are outstanding. Microencapsulation is the process of physical protection of probiotics form harsh environmental and hostile conditions. The process is carried out by using different materials like alginate, chitosan, starch and others through different methods such as extrusion, emulsion, spray drying and freeze drying. Alginate in combination with chitosan coating is widely used through extrusion and emulsion techniques. But, in the terms of industrial use the spray drying method is outstanding. In this review, the efforts have been made to gather more relevant information and undertook studies on microencapsulation of probiotics.
