HEAP: An Efficient and Fault-Tolerant Authentication and Key Exchange Protocol for Hadoop-Assisted Big Data Platform

Hadoop framework has been evolved to manage big data in cloud. Hadoop distributed file system and MapReduce, the vital components of this framework, provide scalable and fault-tolerant big data storage and processing services at a lower cost. However, Hadoop does not provide any robust authentication mechanism for principals’ authentication. In fact, the existing state-of-the-art authentication protocols are vulnerable to various security threats, such as man-in-the-middle, replay, password guessing, stolen-verifier, privileged-insider, identity compromization, impersonation, denial-of-service, online/off-line dictionary, chosen plaintext, workstation compromization, and server-side compromisation attacks. Beside these threats, the state-of-the-art mechanisms lack to address the server-side data integrity and confidentiality issues. In addition to this, most of the existing authentication protocols follow a single-server-based user authentication strategy, which, in fact, originates single point of failure and single point of vulnerability issues. To address these limitations, in this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant authentication protocol suitable for the Hadoop framework, which is called the efficient authentication protocol for Hadoop (HEAP). HEAP alleviates the major issues of the existing state-of-the-art authentication mechanisms, namely operating-system-based authentication, password-based approach, and delegated token-based schemes, respectively, which are presently deployed in Hadoop. HEAP follows two-server-based authentication mechanism. HEAP authenticates the principal based on digital signature generation and verification strategy utilizing both advanced encryption standard and elliptic curve cryptography. The security analysis using both the formal security using the broadly accepted real-or-random (ROR) model and the informal (non-mathematical) security shows that HEAP protects several well-known attacks. In addition, the formal security verification using the widely used automated validation of Internet security protocols and applications ensures that HEAP is resilient against replay and man-in-the-middle attacks. Finally, the performance study contemplates that the overheads incurred in HEAP is reasonable and is also comparable to that of other existing state-of-the-art authentication protocols. High security along with comparable overheads makes HEAP to be robust and practical for a secure access to the big data storage and processing services.
Deteksi Penyakit Bovine Viral Diarrhea pada Sapi Potong Impor melalui Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok (Detection and Risk Factors Study of Bovine Viral Diarrhea in Cattle Imports at Tanjung Priok Port)

This research was a serological study on bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and also to detect the relevance of maintenance farm management as a risk factor on the spreads of BVD. The initial screening test was performed using antibody capture enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to BVD on 100 cattle blood serum samples. The screening test showed that of 63 samples were positive to BVD antibody and 37 samples were negative to BVD antibody. The next screening test was performed using antigen capture ELISA to BVD and all samples showed negative results on BVD antigen. The results of the ELISA test positive for antibodies to BVD indicates that the samples examined anti-BVD antibodies due to BVD virus had been infected by a temporary (transient) or vaccination. Based on the document health certificate from the country of origin there is no clear information on the treatment of BVD vaccination on imports of beef cattle. So, we need a screening examination in the country of Indonesia to detect and perform preventive measures to prevent the spread in feedlots. Relevant factors that affected the occurrence of positive result on BVD antibody detection was farm biosecurity programs with odds ratio (OR) value of 3.316 and confidential interval (CI) value of 1.380-7.967. Further relevant factor was caging waste management with OR value of 2.667 and CI value of 1.105-6.434. There were statistically significant differences (p<0.05) between farm biosecurity programs and caging waste management related to BVD disease incidence.
Sentiment Analysis in Social Web Environements oriented to e-commerce

The purpose of this paper is to have a better understanding of users’ behavior in a social web environment. The data used are collected from web sites containing reviews about web merchants. In such sites, users provide a short description of the quality of the merchant as well as a degree of satisfaction. The idea underlying this study is to explore the textual structure (e.g the reviews length) and the perceived ambiguity of the opinion expressed in the reviews. One of the results of this study is that there is a correlation between the degree of satisfaction and the length of the user contribution. The other result is that the ambiguity of the opinion appears to be different when the opinion is positive compared to a negative one. We analyze the meaning of these finding in the growing context of social web interactions.
VM Supported AspectJ

Traditional AspectJ implementations use a VM-external implementation approach based on JBC instrumentation. These approaches pose an inherent penalty in both steady state performance as well as startup or recompilation performance. We present a map of the design space for AspectJ implementations with potential advantages and disadvantages to evaluate the coverage of the space by related work to identify unexplored possibilities. We propose an architecture for AspectJ implementations which supports both VM-internal and VM-external implementations. VM-internal implementations of our architecture fit naturally into existing JVMs, are straight forward to implement and support all known AspectJ optimizations as well as maintaining efficient startup performance. However, because our architecture also supports VM-external implementations, it is both backward and forward compatible. Additionally, we present a suite of benchmarks designed to evaluate AspectJ implementations. This suite contains macro and micro benchmarks designed to measure the steady state, startup, and overall performance of an implementation. To demonstrate the viability of our architecture, we present one primary implementation, ajvm, in the Jikes Research Virtual Machine (RVM), and several secondary partial implementations in the Jikes RVM and a second JVM, J9. We use our proposed benchmark suite to produce an analysis that confirms our claims that VM-integrated AspectJ implementations can support known and proposed steady state and startup optimizations. Furthermore, they overcome inherent performance penalties associated with VM-external implementations.
Doenas reumticas auto-imunes em indivduos infectados pelo HTLV-1

The HTLV-1 was the first human retrovirus associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (LLTA). The virus also causes a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system named HTLV-1-associated myelopathy or tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). HTLV-1 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, infective dermatitis, uveitis and arthropathy. It has long been suggested that retroviral infection may play a role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Particles resembling retroviruses have been reported in tissue from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjogrens syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and polymyositis. Sjogrens syndrome and RA have been the most frequent rheumatic diseases in patients infected with HTLV-1, being more prevalent in patients with myelopathy. The high prevalence of Sjogrens syndrome and RA in individuals with myelopathy, suggests that the viral burden and exacerbated inflammatory response may play a role not only in the development of myelopathy, but may also influence the outcome of autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
Multi-Service Wireless Internet Link

The deployment of several real-time multimedia applications over the Internet has motivated a considerable research effort on the provision of multiple services over the Internet. In order to extend this work over wireless links however we must also take into account the performance limitations of the medium. We survey various related approaches and conclude that link layer schemes provide a universal and localized solution. Based on simulations of application performance over various link layer schemes we show that different approaches work best for different applications. We present a multi-service link layer architecture which enhances the performance of diverse applications by concurrently supporting multiple link layer schemes. Simulations of multiple applications executing simultaneously show that this approach dramatically improves performance for all. We finally present various ways of embedding this approach into the Internet.
Welcome message from the Editors

Health, one of the core topics of the journal, is becoming more and more intertwined with technology. This trend will only continue as we move in the era of personalised healthcare, where our genetic, behavioural and environmental factors will play an important role in generating individual phenotypes and targeted therapies. Technology in general and monitoring technology in particular will help transform current healthcare by providing unprecedented insights into aspects of human behaviour and its interplay with the environmental factors. Miniaturisation of sensing devices and their unobtrusiveness is contributing to this trend. Human behaviour has been traditionally difficult to understand, relying on subjective, self-reported information, while being a crucial factor in disease diagnosis and treatment, particularly for mental disorders [1], [2]. As such, the journal will seek to address the use of technology in diverse areas of healthcare, including the following broad topics:

This selective bibliography covers digital curation and preservation copyright issues, digital formats (e.g., data, media, and e-journals), metadata, models and policies, national and international efforts, projects and institutional implementations, research studies, services, strategies, and digital repository concerns. Most sources have been published from 2000 through 2011; however, a limited number of key sources published prior to 2000 are also included. The bibliography includes links to freely available versions of included works, such as e-prints and open access articles.
Advances in Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma: Ipilimumab: Interview With Dr. F. Stephen Hodi, M.D.

ABSTRACT Metastatic melanoma is a challenging disease to treat, with few effective therapies available. The survival rate for patients with metastatic melanoma has historically been grim, with few patients achieving complete or durable responses to therapy. Recently, however, there has been a great deal of excitement within the melanoma community, particularly regarding a new therapy that has demonstrated a survival advantage. This interview with Dr. Stephen Hodi, Director, Melanoma Disease Center, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, describes this new agent, an anti-CTLA-4 antibody known as ipilimumab. Dr. Hodi was the lead investigator of the Phase 3 clinical trial involving ipilimumab discussed in this interview and has been instrumental in advancing research into melanoma and its treatment.
Resource Monitoring for Wireless Sensor Networks using ANFIS

Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are usually a resource constrained networks which have limited energy, bandwidth, processing power, memory etc. These networks are now part of Internet by the name Internet of Things (IoT). To get many services from WSNs, we may need to run many applications in the sensor nodes which consumes resources. Ideally, the resources availability of all sensor nodes should be known to the sink before it requests for any further service(s) from the sensor node(s). Hence, continuous monitoring of the resources of the sensor nodes by the sink is essential. The proposed work is a framework for monitoring certain important resources of sensor network using Adaptive-Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). The ANFIS is trained with these resources consumption patterns. The input to ANFIS is the resources consumption levels and the output is the resources consumed levels that needs to be sent to the sink which may be individual or combinations of resources. The trained ANFIS generates the output periodically which determines resources consumption levels that needs to be sent to the sink. Also, ANFIS continuously learns using hybrid learning algorithm (which is basically a combination of back propagation and least squares method) and updates its parameters for better results. The CoAP protocol with its observe option is used to transport the resource monitoring data from the sensor nodes to the cluster head, then from the cluster head to the sink. The sensor nodes runs coap server, the cluster head runs both coap client and server and the sink runs coap client. The performance of the proposed work is compared with LoWPAN network management protocol (LNMP) and EmNets Network Management Protocol (EMP) in terms of bandwidth and energy overheads. It is observed that proposed work performs better when compared to the existing works.
Panhipopituitarismo y diabetes insípida central como primera manifestación de linfoma primario del sistema nervioso central en una paciente inmunocompetente

Resumen El panhipopituitarismo (PH) hace referencia a la pérdida total de la función de la hipófisis anterior (adenohipófisis) que incluye los ejes somatótropo, tirótropo, corticótropo, gonadótropo, entre otros. La diabetes insípida central (DIC) no está contemplada en la definición de PH y su asociación simultánea implica la destrucción o degeneración de las neuronas localizadas en los núcleos supraóptico y paraventricular a nivel hipotalámico, es decir, un compromiso más extenso, dicha asociación se ha reportado hasta en 27% de los casos de linfoma primario del sistema nervioso central (LPSNC), la presencia de esta alteración obliga siempre a descartar enfermedades de carácter hematológico, infiltrativo, infeccioso y autoinmune. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 19 años quien debutó con PH y DIC en la que no se pudo esclarecer un diagnóstico definitivo en su abordaje inicial, luego de casi tres años de evolución, una segunda biopsia realizada a nivel cerebral permitió confirmar el diagnóstico de linfoma primario del SNC. El curso lento y progresivo observado en nuestra paciente es propio de dicha neoplasia; sin embargo, el efecto citorreductor de los corticoides utilizados para el manejo de su déficit hormonal, favoreció el retraso en la identificación de esta enfermedad hematológica. Palabras clave: panhipopituitarismo, diabetes insípida central, linfoma primario de sistema nervioso central, reporte de caso.

Predicting IPO Underpricing with Genetic Algorithms

This paper introduces a rule system to predict first-day returns of initial public offerings based on the structure of the offerings. The solution is based on a genetic algorithm using a Michigan approach. The performance of the system is assessed comparing it to a set of widely used machine learning algorithms. The results suggest that this approach offers significant advantages on two fronts: predictive performance and robustness to outlier patterns. The importance of the latter should be emphasized as the results in this domain are very sensitive to their presence.
Créativité et conformité

L’apport de references exterieures semble favoriser la creativite des eleves par la presence d’elements possiblement reinvestis d’une maniere subjective au sein des productions d’arts visuels. Cependant, ces connaissances et la socialisation propre a l’ecole maternelle ne peuvent-elles pas etre synonyme de conformite pouvant freiner le caractere subjectif des realisations ? En quoi l’apport de references et la socialisation, en arts visuels, influencent la creativite des eleves de maternelle ? L’experimentation menee au sein d’un groupe d’individus de moyenne section de maternelle se propose comme argument, par l’etude des differentes reponses d’eleves a la consigne : « Dessiner un arbre imaginaire ».
Visual and Performative Elements in Screen Adaptation

In recent years there have been significant advances in theory and criticism around screen adaptation (cf. ed. Naremore 2000, Cardwell 2002). However the literary source text is still often perceived as a unified, harmonious whole, capable of unproblematic reading — the ‘problems’ are all seen as pertaining to the adaptation. This article contends that literary texts themselves draw on many other cultural sources and codes such as music, landscape, painting and performative references. It will argue that the process of film-making responds to these inferred levels where the coding of the source-text may be merely inferred, or indeed contradictory. The author, a practising feature film maker, takes as case-studies films written and directed by her to explore and analyse longitudinally the process of adaptation from the film-maker's perspective, both at the level of scripting and organisation of narrative material, and at the level of film production, distribution and criticism.

STUDI KUALITATIF PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN DALAM KELUARGA TERKAIT DENGAN KOMPLIKASI PERINATAL DI KABUPATEN CIANJUR JAWA BARAT

ABSTRACT The high number of maternal mortality rate caused by 3 complex problems. One of those problems was delay identification by the family on the risk factors of the maternal and make decision in seeking help related to their problem. The goal of this study was to identify how the family involvement role, especially their husband, to the maternal health and how the decision making pattern in the family, related to the perinatal complication. This study is qualitative research using phenomenology approach. The number of participant in this study were six couples husband and wife in Bojongherang, Cianjur, West Java. The findings identified that most of the decision maker in the family were the husbands, except those wife who are the carrier woman. In general, the process of decision making start with discussion from both husband and wife before the decision making is made. Some other is decided by their husband instead. The most influenced factors to the decision making process were socio-economic, accessibility to the health insurance and the family knowledge on the perinatal complications. The other less influenced factors were gender, educational background and cultural background. Key words : Decision making in the family,perinatal complication, maternal health.
Network Games with Many Attackers and Defenders (Formal Systems and Computality Theory)

In [2], Mavronicolas et al. presented a network game as an undirected graph whose nodes are exposed to infection by attackers, and whose edges are selectively protected by a defender. They showed that such a graph-theoretic game has no pure Nash equilibrium unless the graph is trivial. In [5] a network game is generalized to one with many defenders instead of a single player, so that there is a pure Nash equilibrium in more general situations. In this paper, we deﬁne a new model with the roles of players interchanged. As a result, we provide a graph theoretic characterization of Nash equilibrium of our new model.
